[20:04] <@ GWRD> Last we met, our strangers in a strange new land met up with the druid that the temple warned them about. Firing first, after limited diplomacy failed them, he retailiated by ordering his flock of ravens to descend upon the group while summoning a horrific creature made from the body of a lion and dragon mixed with a spiky tail to attack them.
[20:05] <@ GWRD> After a long painful battle, Ptolamir managed to temporarly blind the druid, forcing him to retreat, which gave them time to recover and reflect upon their travels thus far.
[20:06] <@ GWRD> As the sun begins to rise on a new day, we find our group rested and hopefully ready to continue trying to figure out how to escape this place.
[20:06] <@ GWRD> Game On (+level hps recovered, +1 to each missing stat)
[20:07] * +Aldric blind, pulls his fox to him so he can prepair his spells for the day. Once finished he casts Remove Blindness on himself and hopes this restores his sight.
[20:07] <@ GWRD> (Successful)
[20:07] * +Animal goes about breaking down her sections of camp, waiting for Aldric to emrge before she breaks down the tent.
[20:07] * @Tindai_Edo wakes and starts to pack his belongings, after checking on Rhykir, whom he is sure Animal has been watching over for the night.
[20:08] <osey889> guess i'll wait for my part
[20:08] <@Tindai_Edo> (Osey, keep OOC stuff in () so we know its ooc :) )
[20:08] <@Tindai_Edo> (Also, when you're ready use: /nick newnick to change your nick: eg: /nick Ryu )
[20:09] * osey889 is now known as Pakras
[20:10] * Dragoon_Kevoyan sits up slowly, making sure his musket is nearby and ready to go.
[20:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Who needs healing?”
[20:13] * Dragoon_Kevoyan grabs his kit
[20:14] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Anyone?”
[20:15] * +Aldric is waiting to see if his spell worked
[20:15] <@ GWRD> Silence follows Kevoyan's request.
[20:15] <@ GWRD> (Your blindness was cured)
[20:16] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Outstanding! What's for breakfast?”
[20:16] <@Tindai_Edo> “Druid, if we can find the bastard.”
[20:16] * +Aldric breaths a long steady sigh as light returns and then color, and then his vision is normal. After a few more minutes of preping he crawls out, ready for the day and his eyes heal. “I'm in the mood for bird now, something corvin.”
[20:18] * +Animal laughs as she breaks down the tent and begins putting it on her cart. “sounds like you are all shit out of luck unless you brought rations with you.”
[20:19] * @Tindai_Edo grins and chews on a ration, the he pulled from his bag of holding, and gives Rhykir some feed
[20:19] * Dragoon_Kevoyan lets the horse graze about, then takes out a bit of hard tack.
[20:19] * +Animal went about feeding her horses and Wassima and brushing them down before she pulled out some rations for herself.
[20:20] * +Aldric is going to look around for a moment, test out his restored eyes and see if anyone, or anything was watching them as he munched on a ration and shared with his fox.
[20:20] <+Aldric> 1d20+18 Perception
[20:20] <TolBot> Aldric's 1d20(13)+18 'Perception']: 31
[20:21] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Mmm…hard tack…becausr starving to death takes too long.”
[20:21] * @Tindai_Edo stretches and gives Rhykir a hard pat, “Are you ready my friend?”
[20:21] * +Animal throws a potato at Dragoon's head.
[20:21] <@ GWRD> Your new eyes adjust to the morning light, making out plenty of dead ravens, mostly incinerated by fire. You also make out flecks of blood, probably from your party members, where they fought the manticore.
[20:22] * Dragoon_Kevoyan ducks
[20:22] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “No oil to fry them. I'm not *that* hungry.”
[20:23] <+Animal> “there is more than one way to make potatoes, but if you dont want it give it back.”
[20:23] * Pakras whistles to himself whereever he is.
[20:23] * Dragoon_Kevoyan tracks down the potato.
[20:23] * +Aldric <Myrrdin> spit out the ration seeing a potato go flying and scurries off to grab it before someone else does.
[20:23] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Do any of these ways involve spices?
[20:24] <@Ptolamir> (sorry, I was afk, dog got out)
[20:24] <+Animal> “not at the present time, no. But i have coffee”
[20:24] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (So…he got the lockpicks I sent him?)
[20:24] * Dragoon_Kevoyan stands upright.
[20:24] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Coffee?”
[20:25] * +Animal digs about in her cart for a moment and then pulls out a smallish can and holds it up for Dragoon to see “yes”
[20:26] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Forget the potato.”
[20:26] * Dragoon_Kevoyan turns around and walks back to the camp, pausing to get his canteen.
[20:28] * +Animal laughs as she holds out a scoop for coffee to dragoon. “don't worry, the fox got it anyways more than likely. they are sneaky like that.”
[20:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “With coffee, I can stand almost anything.”
[20:28] * @Tindai_Edo looks around as well. “Well should we track down this Druid, or what?”
[20:28] <+Aldric> “I dont see anyhting around us for the time being.”
[20:30] * Dragoon_Kevoyan takes a small scoop and gives Animal a nod of appreciation.
[20:30] <+Aldric> ( brb )
[20:33] * @Ptolamir finishes studying his book.
[20:33] * Dragoon_Kevoyan heats up a little water
[20:35] * @Ptolamir repacks his sack.
[20:35] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb)
[20:35] <@ GWRD> As the group enjoys their breakfast and morning rituals, a question remains unanswered… how to proceed next.
[20:37] <@Tindai_Edo> “Damned woodsman, we try to talk for a change. . . and he doesn't have any of it… So, do we track him down, again, or do we go harass the temple?”
[20:38] * +Animal puts everything away and makes sure her cart is secure. “unless you want to burn the temple down, I doubt that's a viable option.”
[20:38] <@ GWRD> (You also have the two other areas you can explore)
[20:38] <@Tindai_Edo> (we can go back to the crossroads? I thought that was closed off lol)
[20:39] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “If we go back to that temple, we have no assurances of help from those fat bastards.”
[20:40] <+Animal> “i wonder if that old man at the crossroads knows anything more about the monks in the temple, or about the druid.”
[20:40] <@Tindai_Edo> “I'm still not convinced that this Druid is the source of this undeath, I think it has to do more with the temple”
[20:40] <@ GWRD> (You can go back to the crossroads. Don't know why you would think it was closed off.)
[20:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “We can ask him. What's the worst that can happen?”
[20:44] * Dragoon_Kevoyan whistles for his horse.
[20:44] <@Tindai_Edo> “He knows nothing and we go somewhere else.”
[20:44] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Come on, old man – we got to get our pay.”
[20:44] <@ GWRD> Your old man perks up from eating some grass and comes over.
[20:45] * @Tindai_Edo gives Rhykir another hard pat and mounts.
[20:46] <@ GWRD> (Going back to the crossroads?)
[20:46] * Dragoon_Kevoyan waits for him to come over before putting on the bridle and saddle.
[20:46] <+Aldric> ( back )
[20:47] <@Tindai_Edo> “Shall we go back to the crossroads then?”
[20:47] <+Animal> (wb)
[20:47] * Dragoon_Kevoyan mounts up
[20:49] <@ GWRD> After a few hours of travel youyou come to another clearing. This clearing however has 3 paths that diverge from it. A campsite rests near the middle of the clearing, offset from the 3 additional paths a bit. An old looking elven man with greasy hair sits by the campfire poking it with a stick.
[20:49] <@ GWRD> (Well that wasn't quite what I wanted)
[20:51] * Dragoon_Kevoyan looks down at the man from his saddle.
[20:51] <@Tindai_Edo> “Adding more wood to the flame, usually helps more than poking at it.”
[20:52] <@ GWRD> Greasy haired old elf: “So you've returned, and found the young fellow with the fox I see.”
[20:52] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “Sometimes you have to coax the coals to feed the fire. Too much wood can smother it.”
[20:53] * @Ptolamir nods and admires the fire.
[20:53] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Do you know of a woodsman around here?”
[20:54] <@ GWRD> The old elf rubs his chin. “I do know of the druid I suspect you speak of.”
[20:55] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Do you know where he lives?”
[20:55] <+Aldric> “Or even how best to approch him?”
[20:56] <+Animal> “or if the monks at the church are evil?”
[20:57] * @Tindai_Edo dismounts and sits by the campfire, letting Rhykir graze. “Yes, more information would be helpful”
[20:58] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “So many questions, ah the eagerness of youth. I only know that the druid you ask about lives in the woods, though he and the clerics are bitter enemies. His temper is also a very short one, which looking at you, you found that out the hard way.”
[20:59] <@Tindai_Edo> “I think we may be in better shape than him, as he fled from us.”
[20:59] <@ GWRD> He looks up past you at the crevace you all originally emerged from, to see a halfling come out.
[20:59] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (OPEN FIRE)
[21:00] * @Tindai_Edo gets to his feet, his hands going to his tsubas of his blades
[21:00] <@Tindai_Edo> (tsukas… my bad)
[21:00] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “Well it looks like another has been brought here.”
[21:00] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (I pictured you reaching for a tuba for a second there)
[21:00] <@ GWRD> (The tubas of his blades… to make beautiful music)
[21:00] <@Tindai_Edo> (tsuba is the guard, tsuka is the hilt :P)
[21:01] * +Aldric turn, his long spear was never really put away, he just held onto it always and looked towards the approching halfing
[21:01] <Pakras> umm by chance any of you folks can tell me what direction is Kabal?
[21:02] * Pakras scratchs the back of his head with a hopeful smile on his face
[21:03] <+Aldric> “Probably no where near here.”
[21:03] * @Tindai_Edo slides back into an offensive stance, ready to draw and engage, but withdraws as the halfling speaks, “I'm afraid you may not see that place for some time.”
[21:04] * +Animal eyes the other halfling to see if she's taller.
[21:04] * Pakras sighs. i had that feeling too. i take it you can fill me in where this place is?
[21:05] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Never heard of it, but you're more than likely going to be here for a while.”
[21:06] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “By the way, I'm Dragoon Kevoyan.”
[21:06] <+Animal> “We don't really know where this place is.”
[21:07] <Pakras> right! how rude of me, i am Pakras Kasket. A wandering wanderer
[21:08] <Pakras> by chance you all came from that same ritual looking area?
[21:08] * Pakras pulls out his drawing
[21:08] * @Ptolamir chuckles
[21:08] * Dragoon_Kevoyan dismounts
[21:08] <@Ptolamir> “Pakras, I am Ptolamir.”
[21:08] <@Ptolamir> “And… you are lost.”
[21:09] <Pakras> greetings! lets try and get unlost shall we?
[21:09] <@Tindai_Edo> (you should use ” “ too.. so we can tell actions from spoken word exspecially in actions lol)
[21:09] <+Animal> ”Animal, and that's easier said than done.“
[21:09] * @Ptolamir nods.
[21:10] * @Ptolamir explains a bit about the cruel gamemaster who brings us to this land to toy with.
[21:10] <@Tindai_Edo> “Tindai Edo, Ronin.”
[21:11] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “What is a ronin? Soldier?”
[21:12] <@Tindai_Edo> “A Samurai without a Master.”
[21:12] * Pakras looks at the older looking elf. “what about you old one?”
[21:13] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “What about me? I've been here a long time, and am not yet closer to getting home.”
[21:13] <@Tindai_Edo> “He's asking your name.”
[21:13] <+Animal> “Are the clerics evil?” she asks the old elf again, turning to look at him once more.
[21:14] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “What's a samurai?”
[21:15] <@ GWRD> The old elf rubs his chin and seems to ponder for a bit.
[21:15] <Pakras> “i've heard they are masters of the sword”
[21:15] <@Tindai_Edo> “A warrior, you could say.”
[21:15] <@ GWRD> “I can't say that I remember it at the moment, it's been so very long since I've been asked for my name.”
[21:16] <+Aldric> ( sorry, guts arent happy with me. I'll be in and out )
[21:17] <@ GWRD> The old elf appears to be lost in thought now, trying to recall what his name is.
[21:17] <Pakras> (can i tell if the party has been a fight recently?)
[21:18] <@ GWRD> (It's plainly obvious, though their wounds are pretty much taken care of.)
[21:18] * @Tindai_Edo looks down the other two paths
[21:18] <@Tindai_Edo> “The village, what was wrong with it again?”
[21:18] * +Aldric shrugs alittle looking around. “Adlric, Shaman of Life..and the little coward in my napsack is the fox Myrrdin
[21:18] <Pakras> “looking at you folks, its not friendly out there”
[21:19] * @Ptolamir shakes his head.
[21:20] <Pakras> “oh so there is a town around here! why didn't you say so? First rounds are on me!”
[21:20] <@Tindai_Edo> “I'm on the run from the Xenui Empire… I'm no looking for friends, but to simply survive and get my revenge on the bastard emperor who took my fathers head.”
[21:20] <@ GWRD> “The village, now that's an interesting place. It is built around an old tower, but has morally degraded into mankinds more base pleasures.
[21:20] <@Tindai_Edo> “Go there often old man?”
[21:21] * Dragoon_Kevoyan nods at the definition.
[21:21] <@ GWRD> “No, I'm content with staying here.”
[21:21] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “This village – any worms, mad cannibalistic children or anything like that?”
[21:21] <+Animal> “didn't you say we shouldn't go to the village? or at least i shouldn't?”
[21:22] <Pakras> “fear not Animal, i would make sure no one would dare lay a hand on you”
[21:23] * +Animal 's hand flexes on her throwing axe. “
[21:23] <+Animal> “I can take care of myself thanks.”
[21:24] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “No, my advice to you was to leave the kobolds of the mountain alone for now. As for the village, I know not of any worms, cannibals, or things like that. You're more likely to be preyed upon by demons and prostitues.
[21:24] * Dragoon_Kevoyan shrugs
[21:24] <@Tindai_Edo> “A bunch of prostitutes, sounds like a fun time, but my luck they'll be succubi… which may be fun as well.”
[21:24] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Sounds like leave to me.”
[21:25] <Pakras> “well i'll be sure not to use any of my demon jokes around there”
[21:25] <+Animal> “you still haven't answered my question about the clerics at the temple.”
[21:26] <Pakras> “but maybe there is someone there who can help identify these symbols” pulls out his drawing
[21:26] <@Tindai_Edo> “Maybe we can atleast resupply in the village. . .”
[21:26] <@Tindai_Edo> “Payment may be a little funner than gold and silver as well,” he laughs.
[21:27] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “It is doubtful you will find somebody knowledgable about those markings, except for maybe the one they refer to as the Maid who lives in the tower.”
[21:28] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Maid?”
[21:28] <Pakras> “what makes you say that a maid would have any info with that?”
[21:29] * @Ptolamir walks back over to the group, “I’m inclined not to go to the mountains…“
[21:30] <@Ptolamir> “And we’ve managed to make enemies of both parties between the druid and the temple…”
[21:30] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Neither am I…but if there is information to be had.”
[21:30] <@Ptolamir> “so this village is out last option for now.”
[21:30] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “The maid is supposedly very power, having arrived here in her magic tower. From what I've been told, she has not been seen for many centuries, however her doors occasionally open and one of her constructs emerges to sell wares and buy raw ore.”
[21:30] <Pakras> “and of people ever being able to enter?”
[21:30] <@ GWRD> (powerful)
[21:31] <+Animal> “What kind of raw ore?”
[21:32] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “Nobody has ever entered the tower, in fact I've heard tell that an old warlord once tried to siege the tower, and she wiped out his entire army as punishment.”
[21:32] * Dragoon_Kevoyan 's eyes widen
[21:32] <@Tindai_Edo> “Well, lets go knock on her door and politely say hello.”
[21:32] <Pakras> “ok so lets all agree not to upset her”
[21:32] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “Steel primarily, though other rare ores are probably preferred.”
[21:32] * @Tindai_Edo grins
[21:32] <@Tindai_Edo> “Us not upset somebody, that would be a first.”
[21:33] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Well, we have to keep them all guessing.”
[21:33] <Pakras> “well if its ore she wants then where can we get some?”
[21:33] * Pakras mutters “pls don't say mountians”
[21:34] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “Likely the mountain of the kobolds who revere the dragon Parraxus.”
[21:34] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “He won't. He'll just point to them and say: 'There'.”
[21:36] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “or that.”
[21:36] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Kobolds…little red things with a dog's head, but half the intelligence?”
[21:36] <Pakras> “well even if we did go there, we don't have a means to ship the ore, let alone dig it out”
[21:37] <+Animal> “I have ore.”
[21:37] <Pakras> “ya kobolds think they are decended from dragons, but if you ask me they are more like rats to me”
[21:38] <Pakras> “how much ore Animal?”
[21:38] <+Animal> “100 pounds in iron alone.”
[21:39] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “How much ore does she need? What is she making?”
[21:40] * @Tindai_Edo looks at Animal, “What do you not have on there?”
[21:40] <Pakras> “maybe its enough, wouldn't hurt to ask around town first”
[21:40] <+Animal> “Liquir” she says to Tindai.
[21:41] <@ GWRD> Old elf:“I know she is an accomplished crafter, and typically her swords are of the finest quality.”
[21:41] <@Tindai_Edo> “I should like to speak to her regardless.”
[21:41] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (brb)
[21:42] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “I am doubtful she will grant you an audience.”
[21:43] <@Tindai_Edo> “We shall see, as we are getting nowhere with the Druid.”
[21:43] <Pakras> “so we will need to make her a very tempting offer. one where she will have no choice but to speak with us”
[21:47] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (bck)
[21:47] * @Tindai_Edo mounts Rhykir, “Shall we head there?”
[21:47] <@ GWRD> Old elf: “Well if you manage to get somebody to answer the door, you'll have a chance with the ore you carry.”
[21:48] * Dragoon_Kevoyan nods and guides his horse over to Tindai's “Come on, old man. Rest is over.”
[21:49] <Pakras> ' i could play a song, often times that gets people to at least stop when i play nearby haha”
[21:50] * @Tindai_Edo urges Rhykir ahead slowly, towards the village path
[21:51] * Dragoon_Kevoyan nudges the horse ahead.
[21:52] * Pakras readys himself for travel
[21:53] * +Animal nudges her horses with her cart and the camel she rode onwards.
[21:53] <@ GWRD> Your journey from the crossroads takes you to a large comfortable looking valley with a river that runs through the center of it. A large town has grown up around a slightly leaning tower.
[21:55] <@ GWRD> Even from a distance however, the town looks dingy and dirty, and the outlying farms are barely maintained and in general disrepair, though one building near the center of the town looks to be in very good repair, and is well lit.
[21:56] * Dragoon_Kevoyan checks for defenses.
[21:58] * @Tindai_Edo quietly rides towards the tower
[21:59] <@ GWRD> If the town had defenses, they long since deteriorated or got salvaged for something else.
[22:00] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Yaaa!)
[22:00] * Dragoon_Kevoyan quietly sighs and lets his horse drift to the rear of the group.
[22:00] <@Ptolamir> “Well, it doesn’t look abandoned, but barely surviving.”
[22:02] * @Tindai_Edo looks around as he rides in, for any signs of the villagers
[22:03] <@ GWRD> As you approach, you pass by a few farms that have started yielding to the elements, but with no people.
[22:04] <@ GWRD> When you reach the outskirts, you start to see people dressed in tattered clothing. As soon as they catch sight of you, they stand and start to rapidly approach with hands outstretched.
[22:05] <Pakras> “wait! this is only supposed to happen after the performance!”
[22:05] * @Tindai_Edo just glares at the people as he rides ahead, not slowing.
[22:05] <Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Easy, old man.”
[22:05] * Dragoon_Kevoyan reaches into his pack and feels for some remaining hard tack.
[22:07] * Pakras quickly pull out my drum and start playing a capitavting song
[22:07] <@ GWRD> They start pressing the lead members of your group first, with pleas for food, coin for just one more night with Cassandra, or anything you can spare.
[22:08] <@Tindai_Edo> “Cassandra, is that the lady of the tower?”
[22:08] * @Ptolamir scurries along.
[22:09] * Dragoon_Kevoyan tosses some hard tack well away from the group.
[22:09] <@ GWRD> They start swarming Kevoyan, and most rush the hard tack.

[22:14] <@ GWRD> (Where are you Pakras in relation to Kevoyan)
[22:15] <+Aldric> “Watch the crowd…….”
[22:15] * @Tindai_Edo watches
[22:15] <@ GWRD> The young man hops over the fox as he breaks in a run towards the town.
[22:15] * +Aldric lifts himself up into the sky and flies after the young man (as teh Fly Spell 60ft movement)
[22:16] <+Pakras> (lost my chance)
[22:17] <@Tindai_Edo> (Do I see the man making a break for it?)
[22:17] <@ GWRD> (Yeah, clearly)
[22:17] * @Tindai_Edo takes a shot with his bow
[22:17] <+Pakras> i play my drums to keep the crowds focus on me
[22:17] <@Tindai_Edo> 1d20+9 tohit
[22:17] <+TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(8)+9 'tohit']: 17
[22:18] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “Wait! What are you doing?”
[22:18] <@ GWRD> The crowds ignore the drums and try to press for more food.
[22:18] <@ GWRD> (Hit)
[22:18] <@Tindai_Edo> 1d8
[22:18] <+TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d8(8)]: 8
[22:19] <@ GWRD> You drop the young man and Kevoyan's powder horn slides from the man's hand, as the rest of the beggars scatter quickly.
[22:19] * @Tindai_Edo urges Rhykir over to the man, and retrieves Kevoyan's powder horn and returns it to him
[22:20] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan looks from Tindai to the horn, then to the man.
[22:20] * +Pakras walks up to the young man and says “i can make the hurt go away, if you tells a few things”
[22:20] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Is he alive?)
[22:20] * @Tindai_Edo then attempts to stabalize the man, as he didn't intend to make a lethal shot
[22:20] <@Tindai_Edo> 1d20+1 heal
[22:20] <+TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(9)+1 'heal']: 10
[22:20] * @Ptolamir holds on to his sack, shaking his head.
[22:20] <@ GWRD> The man is very much dead, probably only a few years into his teens.
[22:21] <@Ptolamir> (you can make a nonlethal shot at a penalty)
[22:21] <@Tindai_Edo> (Yea, I forgot)
[22:21] <+Pakras> “shame, to die so young”
[22:22] * +Aldric sighs hovering over the young man and looks around from this hieght to see if he can notice anything new “Keep and eye on your wears and goods.”
[22:22] <+Aldric> 1d20+16 Perception
[22:22] <+TolBot> Aldric's 1d20(3)+16 'Perception']: 19
[22:23] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan reattches his powder horn to his belt and takes out his knife.
[22:23] <@ GWRD> You don't see anything else out of place, though the beggars seem to be attracting the attention of the town a bit.
[22:23] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I owe you, Tindai.”
[22:23] <+Pakras> “well i don't know about you guys, but i am at least gonna try and give the kid a decent grave.”
[22:23] * @Tindai_Edo shakes his head at the dead youth and returns to his mount.
[22:24] <+Aldric> “The beggars are attracting attention from the town….”
[22:24] * +Pakras looks around for signs of a graveyard
[22:24] <@Tindai_Edo> “You owe me nothing, I should have aimed to disable.”
[22:24] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “His punishment for stealing.”
[22:25] * +Aldric flyies back towards the cart and set himself down as Myrrdin climbs up and joins him
[22:25] <@Tindai_Edo> “An arrow to the knee would have sufficed.”
[22:25] <+Pakras> “ever stop to think why he stole? Desperation is reeking around here”
[22:25] <@ GWRD> A few of the derilict farms had small plots, probably family graves.
[22:26] <@Tindai_Edo> “While the crowd is gone from us, we should make haste to the tower. Let the townspeople worry about placing him in his grave.”
[22:26] * +Pakras picks the boy up making sure to clean away any blood, and head to a plot
[22:26] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “If he'd stole from where I came from – he would have lost a hand.”
[22:26] <+Pakras> “i'll catch up you guys, won't be long”
[22:27] <@Tindai_Edo> “Watch yourself newcomer,” he urges Rhykir to the tower
[22:28] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> “I'll remain behind to guard hm.”
[22:28] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan nudges his horse over to follow Pakras.
[22:28] * @Ptolamir follows towards the tower.
[22:28] * +Animal heads on towards the tower
[22:29] * +Pakras getting to a plot i lay the body down and reach into my bag of holding pulling out a spade
[22:29] <@ GWRD> Most of you enter the town, and immediately discover there are quite a lot of brothels, inns, and taverns… and not much else.
[22:31] <@ GWRD> One rather large structure sits near the tower, and is in far better repair than the other buildings, an establishment called “The Sultry Maiden”.
[22:33] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan stays by Pakras, having his musket at the ready.
[22:33] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (afk)
[22:34] * +Pakras digs a hole big enough for the body, and after filling it, looks for a simple rock to mark a grave
[22:34] <@Tindai_Edo> “Well, I think this is where the beggers lost their money, but alas, the tower is our concern.”
[22:34] <@ GWRD> (Perception checks)
[22:35] <+Animal> 1d20+6 (i used the wrong number last time, sorry)
[22:35] <+TolBot> Animal's 1d20(16)+6 ' (i used the wrong number last time, sorry)']: 22
[22:35] <@Tindai_Edo> 1d20+2
[22:35] <+TolBot> Tindai_Edo's 1d20(15)+2]: 17
[22:36] <@Ptolamir> 1d20+2
[22:36] <+TolBot> Ptolamir's 1d20(14)+2]: 16
[22:36] <+Aldric> 1d20+18 Perception
[22:36] <+TolBot> Aldric's 1d20(18)+18 'Perception']: 36
[22:36] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> 1d20+9 (perception)
[22:36] <+TolBot> Dragoon_Kevoyan's 1d20(9)+9 '(perception)']: 18
[22:36] <@Ptolamir> (+3 actually)
[22:36] <+Pakras> (36 wow)
[22:37] <@ GWRD> You're walking past some of the street lanterns, and Aldric catches out of the corner of his eye that the glowing ball of light in one of the lanterns briefly appears to have a nebulous image of a skull in it briefly.
[22:38] <+Aldric> ( knowledge check? )
[22:39] <@ GWRD> (Dungeoneering)
[22:39] <+Aldric> ( damn I dont have that knowledge )
[22:40] * +Aldric blinks a few times at the lanterns “Skulls,…int he laterns. Glowing?” he tilted his head as he softly spoke those words
[22:40] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Dungeoneering?)
[22:40] <@ GWRD> (If you were in town)
[22:40] <+Pakras> (we are still away)
[22:40] * @Ptolamir follows Aldric’s eyes, “what?”
[22:40] <@ GWRD> (Yes, digging graves takes quite a while, and this has only been a lapse of a few minutes tops)
[22:41] <@ GWRD> Several of you also notice some of the brothels' bouncers showing up in the doorways to keep an eye on you.
[22:42] * @Tindai_Edo ignores them
[22:42] <+Aldric> “There are skulls in the lanterns, briefly…“
[22:43] <@ GWRD> The lanterns themselves do not look like they produce any flame or heat, but are just faintly glowing balls of light that bob in the lanterns.
[22:44] * @Tindai_Edo continues towards the tower
[22:45] * @Ptolamir watches… “Skulls?”
[22:45] * +Dragoon_Kevoyan looks around to see if anyone is approaching to help
[22:46] <@ GWRD> Nobody approaches to help you dig a grave.
[22:46] <+Aldric> “Thats what I saw, in flames. I dont know what that is..”
[22:48] <@ GWRD> Tindai appraoches towards the tower, and you all start getting quite a bit of attention from several of the buildings. A few of the ladies call you over, while a rather comely halfling male cat-calls Animal.
[22:48] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (“Meow! Woof!”)
[22:49] <+Aldric> ( brb again )
[22:50] * @Tindai_Edo grins as Animal gets catcalled
[22:50] <@ GWRD> The tower stands before you ominously, a three story structure of thick stone block, that can easily house a small garrison, or an eccentric necromancer and his undead bride.
[22:50] * @Tindai_Edo dismounts and approaches the door
[22:51] <+Dragoon_Kevoyan> (Cadomedd?)
[22:51] <@Tindai_Edo> (We found the tower of Camilla)
[22:52] <+Animal> (lol)
[22:54] * @Tindai_Edo knocks on the tower door
[22:54] <@ GWRD> As Tindai knocks on the tower door…
[22:54] <@ GWRD> This session comes to a close.
