(OOC: This is a sidequest to find a teacher for Laynie, the orphan from
Immortality Awakens. Anyone intending to help out can report here)
Vanitri walks out with Laynie, and presumibly
Mearran.
"Time to put our ear to the ground and see what we hear,"
Vanitri says.
OOC: Gather Information +4 to find out information on the
Accademy. Vanitri knows Elise was in it, and they give graduates shimmering
robes, but that's about it, but it's a start.

No presumption need, Mearran follows "Where do you go for
help in a city like this? Who are the leaders?"
"It's not the leaders I'm concerned with. It's the people.
With the right touch, they'll tell ya what you need to know." Vanitri
says.

Looking toward his taller compainion "Who?"
(OOC:
Mearran approved)
"Anyone, but no one in particular. Just got to know how to
ask, and keep your ears open." Vanitri says. "Surely you've heard of gossip, and
overheard a conversation or two you shouldn't have. It's a skill, just keep your
ears open, and ask the occasional question, and you'll find the answer you
seek."

"Chro...Cro...Croquet! Yes, I remember...they hit a ball
with a stick, and the balls have lots of different colours and stuff. Maybe it
was flamingos, or was that a children's story? Is that what you mean?" a drunken
old man asks, after scooping a few silvers out of Vanitri's hands.
(OOC:
Natural 1 :p)
"Perhaps the Library might know a bit more." Vanitri says,
as he rolls his eyes at not thinking about it earlier.

Hewj watched as the small group made their way down the
street ahead of him. Despite his long and ackward spear Hewj felt comfortable
that the very skills that had saved his life on many occassions - his ability to
hide - were serving him well
(http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=312540).
It seemed pretty obvious
the group had no idea what they were looking for. Hewj watched as the
colorfully-dressed man tried to interrogate a drunk old man. By the look of it
the man was exercising about as much finesse as the half orc leader who had
beaten on Hewj so many times in the first 15 years of his life. Hewj watched
though as the "drunk" old man palmed the silver anyway. Hewj found himself, not
for the first time, thinking that it seemed a pretty easy way to make a living.
Careful to not be seen, Hewj turned to face a nearby merchant, pretending to
examine his wares, all-the-while watching the party's progress down the street
out of the corner of his eye.
As they head to the library, Vanitri, always the cautious
one, looks around, but does not see anything out of the
ordinary.

*The trio asks for directions and heads towards the
library.*
(OOC: Okay, now I have to ask about the Orussus library...as I
mentioned in the IA
thread, sometimes I hate GMing in Orussus :()

*Reaching the library, the group shuffles inside, where they
are greeted at the entrance by a crotchety old librarian in thick
glasses:*
"You folks members of the Library or one of our partners?" she
asks, "If not, you're going to need to pay to reference our texts."
HugeOgre
12-14-05, 01:32 AM
Hewj stood across from the massive building he had seen the
rest of the party enter. He smiled as he wrapped the cloak around his features
again, secretly thanking the shaman who had taken enough pity on him to teach
him basic letters. A library. If Hewj was deciphering the word correctly it was
a place where people stored information on scrolls and within large tomes. Hewj
knew he couldnt go inside. It would be too odd if he were spotted. A half orc
for one, and one who the group would no doubt remember seeing in the tavern. No,
no he would stay here and wait for the group to reemerge, at least for a little
while...
*Reaching the library, the group shuffles inside, where they
are greeted at the entrance by a crotchety old librarian in thick
glasses:*
"You folks members of the Library or one of our partners?" she
asks, "If not, you're going to need to pay to reference our texts."
"Well,
you look like a knowledgable young woman, and we're just looking for some
current information, perhaps you can help," Vanitri says. "We're just looking
for someone who may know something about a magical accademy or order or some
such. Do you think you might be able to help us out, or at least direct us to
someone who can?"
OOC: Diplomacy +4
Rystil Arden
12-14-05, 06:36 AM
"Oh, you Freefolk and your flattery..." the old woman laughs
sharply, readjusting her spectacles, "I can direct you to the Arcana section of
the library if you pay your entrance fee."
"That would be delightful, thank you." Vanitri says. "How
much is the fee?"
Rystil Arden
12-14-05, 06:49 AM
"That depends on whether you just want a one-day clearance
or if you would prefer to become a lifetime member. It is 10 gold per day to
visit, plus extra if you want to borrow a book or have something transcribed.
But if you become a member, it only costs 100 gold, and then you have unlimited
access plus the ability to take out one book at any given time for free as long
as you return it promptly, available for most books."
"Can a lifetime member take guests in for free?" Vanitri
asks.
Rystil Arden
12-14-05, 07:04 AM
"Yes, but only one guest..."
She looks down to Laynie and gives a slight
smile:*
"However, children can enter for free... the smile becomes more
stern "As long as they are supervised and they keep quiet."
"Laynie here's a good girl.
Aren't you?" Vanitri asks Laynie.
"I'll take a
membership for myself then."
Rystil Arden
12-14-05, 07:34 AM
"Yep, I am. I like libraries! Is this a library? Libraries
are so great! They've got lots and lots of books and stuff. Mommy and Daddy had
a big big library."
"A membership? Thank you very much, Mister...Well,
we'll figure that out with the forms. Come with me to fill out the forms for
your membership, and we'll enter you into the ledger and get you a nice little
illuminated certificate of membership."
Vanitri fills out the paperwork.
"So, where is the
Arcana section?"
Rystil Arden
12-14-05, 08:02 AM
"Follow me, Mister Vanitri."
*The librarian leads
Vanitri, with Laynie and
Mearran in tow, into the library proper, where shelves and shelves of books
stretch in all directions.*
"Wow! That's lots and lots and lots of
books!" Laynie says, in
awe about all the books.
*Taking a few turns, the librarian stops at a
wing filled with thick, musty tomes covered with mystic symbols, many of which
are written in Draconic and planar languages.*
"Here you are--the Arcana
section. If you need anything, please ask a staff member," and she heads back
through the rows of shelves.
"Thank you." Vanitiri says to the clerk.
Vanitri
looks around for any books about acadameys, as well as any studious mages who
might be able to point him in the right direction.
Rystil Arden
12-14-05, 08:11 AM
*As Vanitri looks around, trying to find any books about
academies or even just books that he can read, Laynie follows after,
jiggling about excitedly, but eventually she gets bored and pulls a book at
random off the lowest shelf, the only one she can reach, heading for one of the
reading desks.*
"What you got ther Laynie?"
OOC: No
people around either?
Rystil Arden
12-14-05, 08:27 AM
"Uhhh....let me check. Umm, it's Advanced Studies in
Thaumaturgy by Draelik Vryden. Sounds like fun!"
*Vanitri doesn't see any
people in this part of the Arcana section, but if he'd like, he can search
through all the aisles quickly, paying less attention to the books, to see if
anyone is on the other side of any of the stacks and shelves.*
He will indeed to that then.
Rystil Arden
12-14-05, 08:35 AM
*Vanitri takes a quick survey among the stacks and shelves
of books, and he finds an absent-minded looking man scribbling down things from
one of the books in the corner as well as a plain-looking woman with a rather
large nose, which is stuck in a book at one of the other reading
desks.*
Vanitri will ask both of them, politely. "Excuse me, I'm
looking for information arcane Academies, I believe this one is called the
Colorful or Chromatic or something. Would you happen to know where I might look,
or perhaps know about it yourself?"
Rystil Arden
12-15-05, 04:28 AM
(OOC: Conversation 1--)
"Those crazies?" the thin,
absent-minded fellow looks up briefly, "The refuse of Medibaria, they are. They
seem to be convinced that the crumbled empire will rise again, despite not a
whit of evidence in their favour. Basically, they're a bunch of deluded
elitists, and thanks to the spread of magic after the empire's fall, they don't
really have anything useful there that everyone doesn't already know, but I have
to admit, it's funny to see them trying to be elitist about being
destroyed."
(OOC: Conversation 2--)
"The final storehouse of the
ancient lore of the once-mighty Medibarian Empire," the plain woman replies in a
voice that is just a bit exotic and quite mellifluous, with a slight lilt,
making it far more attractive than her looks, her sharp nose sweeping up to
point towards Vanitri as she turns to face him and leaves her book for the
moment, "They hold arcane secrets within their walls that are far beyond the ken
of the wizards of this age..."
(OOC: Conversation 1--)
"Worry to bother you with
this then Sir. Thank you for your help."
(OOC: Conversation
2--)
"Thank you very much good lady. Perhaps you might know where I could
find them?"
Rystil Arden
12-15-05, 05:05 AM
"The Academy of the Chromatic Order still stands among the
crumbled ruins of the ancient capital of the Old Empire, an everlasting
testament to the glory of Medibaria."
OOC: Does Vanitri have any clue where that is?
Rystil Arden

(OOC: Not without Knowledge: Geography :p)
OOC: Given

Rystil Arden
12-15-05, 05:34 AM
(OOC: Noooooo! Curses--y'know I never looked at the
character sheets for this adventure, and I thought he was just a Rogue (for
which the chance of having Knowledge Geography was basically non-exisstant)
:lol:
:rolls: and gets a modified 9...
Oh well
:p)
*Vanitri doesn't know where it is, but he thinks it is somewhere in
the Northeast.*
"I'm unfamiliar with that area, other than it is somewhere
Northeast of here. Do you perhaps know more of the area or at leas know of a
book I might use to gain more info."
OOC: He took rogue first, but he was
always destined to be a rogue/ranger, because he needed to be wilderness
aware.
Rystil Arden
12-16-05, 05:14 AM
"There's a historical archive in another section of the
library as well as several atlases and large maps in the map room."
"Thank you very much, you've been most
helpful."
Vanitri heads back to Laynie and Mearran. "Looks
like we need to hit the map room, and perhaps the archives to look for
information on the old empire of Medibaria, and the Chromatic
Order."
Barring no objections, Vanitri will move over to that section
with the others.
Rystil Arden
12-16-05, 06:30 AM
"Ummm...can I take my book?"
"I don't see why not, just remember where you got it so we
can return it before we leave. Wouldn't want to find ourselves unwelcome her
later."
Rystil Arden
12-16-05, 07:13 AM
"Okay, I remember I got it in the magic section. Let's go
over to the other one then."
"Ok, let's go then."
Vanitri heads off to the map
section to look for maps.
Rystil Arden
12-16-05, 07:31 AM
*Vanitri isn't exactly sure where the map room is, but he
asks a librarian and they head there. They find some maps detailing the Orussus
region, showing Medibaria to the northeast.*
Assuming Vanitri can aquire the materials, he will scetch a
rough map of the area, highlighting roads and other important features (Cities,
mountin ranges, signs that say "here dar be dragons", the usual)
Rystil Arden
12-16-05, 07:35 AM
(OOC: He needs to pay PH price for the paper or parchment,
pen, and ink. Is that okay?)
OOC: No problem. This is going to be a very non-lucritive
job
Rystil Arden
12-16-05, 07:45 AM
(OOC: Okey dokey.)
*Vanitri scribes down a map, which
has all the main details of the map in the Guide to Living ENWorld.*
"Anything else you think we'll need?" Vanitri asks his
companions.
OOC: Give LF a chance to chime in :)
LogicsFate
12-17-05, 12:17 AM
"That'll do" Mearran states, having been scanning the books
since they entered. Snapping back to the conversation "Maybe we should broaden
our options? Did you see about any other schools"
"There are others? I didn't think to ask, as I wasn't
looking." Vanitri says. "The only mage I've met who wasn't a freefolk was from
the school, so I kinda figured that's where they all learned it
from."
LogicsFate
12-17-05, 04:46 AM
Mearran opens his mouth then closes it again. "...I suppose
your right, I haven't heard of any others either. I'm ready to go."
Rystil Arden
12-17-05, 05:08 AM
(OOC: Well, there's at least Allimon, Fallon, and then the
lazy-ass solution as well, but I'm cool to go to Medibaria if you guys are.
Ready?)
"Let's put that book back Laynie, and then we're off
to Medibaria." Vanitri says.
OOC: How is everyone on food and water?
Vanitri can hunt, but it will be slower going, and if Vanitri and Mearan hunt,
Laynie is by herself,
which isn't good.
LogicsFate
12-17-05, 05:29 AM
OOC: I've always wanted to go to Medibaria :D . I have a
feeling that elises backstory is going to get extended by the end of this.
I don't think Mearran has food or water, being a druid he creates a
gallon of water a day and forages for food.
Rystil Arden
12-17-05, 05:36 AM
"Awwww! But I'm almost finished the chapter. Can I finish
first? Pleeeeeeeeease?"
(OOC: Yup, I'm becoming more fond of the Academy
as I work on it. I may even propose allowing the UA Wizard variants for losing
the feats as bonus feats for Wizards from the Academy (y'know, like the one
where an Abjurer puts up a defensive mantle that gives her +Int bonus to AC and
saves but ends after it protects against the first attack)--that would be
cool)
"I'm in no hurry." Vanitri says.
OOC: Got it, so we
go forage for food, and Laynie gets eaten by the
bear ..... wait a minute...
Rystil Arden
12-17-05, 05:48 AM
"Yay!!! Laynie replies happily,
giving Vanitri a hug, or the best she can manage with only being able to reach
his waist.
*She turns back to her page and keeps reading her
book.*
Rystil Arden
12-17-05, 08:16 AM
(OOC: Laynie wouldn't have been
eaten by a bear if she still had her Doggie to protect her from bears
:p)
Vanitri waits for Laynie to finish by
discussing their plans with Mearran. "We should buy a few supplies. One of us
can forage off and on, but we should get some supplies in case we can't get
enough for everyone."
Should we get a cart? Technicaly I can afford it,
but that will blow a large chunk of the cash I had to start with.
My
concerns about hunting are speed. If you hunt, you hunt at half-speed, which is
10. I hunt at 15. Doesn't sound like much, but it's the difference between
covering 10 and 15 miles per day (10' of move is close to 1 mph). And, since we
might not catch anything, do you want to listen to a hungry kid complain? not
sure how much, but some food is advised. Water we can manage with just a skin or
two a day.
LogicsFate
12-17-05, 03:11 PM
"Ok, we'll split the cost of rations, and I'll get a
watersac or two"
A chapter allready?
Mearran leans over and looks at
the book Laynie has been
reading
OOC: Point duely noted, as for traveling Mearran and laynie can/might be booking
at 40ft of movement if we can get her to ride triton, then by casting Tireless
Journey on hisself

12-17-05, 03:12 PM
*Mearran can't tell what the book says--it is written in an
unfamiliar language.*
Vanitri nods "That sounds like a plan then."
Sounds
good. We can still hunt occasionaly, and on days we do, we'll just go a bit
slower, or perhaps stop a bit early and get a few hours of hunting
in.
Forgot about your dog.
RA: How long does the journy look like
it will take?
Rystil Arden
12-17-05, 03:28 PM
(OOC: It's about 550 miles by road. The other benefit of the
road path is that you pass through the city of Fallon, which has its own magic
academy. The other path is to just trudge through random wilderness and across a
river in a straight line, which is about 350 miles)
LogicsFate
12-17-05, 03:33 PM
"Almost done, Laynie?"
OOC: Thats
ok, just remember a large Great Dane analog, plodding around with us(except in
the Library). Mearran would just go through the wilderness, what about
Vanitri?
Rystil Arden
12-17-05, 03:39 PM
"Almost. The last part of the incantination thingy is on the
next page and then there will be a picture I think."
LogicsFate
12-17-05, 04:19 PM
"Oh,... what does the incantation do?"
Rystil Arden
12-17-05, 04:33 PM
"It summons a blue slob! It's pretty because it's
blue!"
"Why would you want to summon a slob?" Vanitri asks
curiously.
Rystil Arden
12-18-05, 05:54 AM
"Uhhh...because he's blue? He's probably more fun to summon
than a rock or a ice-cubes."
"Well, I'd avoid summoning anything till you're tought how.
You never know what you might get, and if it would be friendly."
Rystil Arden
12-18-05, 06:09 AM
"Oh, don't be silly Mister Old Man! I can't summon anything,
I was just reading a bit, silly," Laynie giggles.
"With you, I wouldn't be supprised." Vanitri
chuckles.
Rystil Arden
12-18-05, 07:20 AM
"What does that mean, Mister Old Man?"
"I'm not that old Laynie. You can call me
Vanitri, or just Van if that's easier. And it's definately a
compliment."
OOC: So, 550 miles by road is how many days?
Rystil Arden
12-18-05, 09:23 AM
"So it adds up to ninety, Van-Man?"
(OOC: Well, I'm
not exactly sure about Mearran's spell and its effect, although the spell seems
not to work on animals. Roads allow full movement without any terrain modifiers,
though)
"No, a compliment is saying something good about someone
else. I was saying how smart you are."
OOC: So, if he hits us both with
the spell, we can walk at 40 for 8-10 hours easily, so should be covering 40
miles a day, getting us there in about 14 days. If he does it only on himself,
that's walking at 30, for 8-10 hours, and we'll be there in about 20 days, but
he'll have a spare spell (for healing perhaps)
Rystil Arden
12-18-05, 09:39 AM
"Oh, okay. That's nice of you, Mister Van-Man. Mommy said
that complimentary angels make ninety, though."
(OOC: Yup, looks like it
:))
Rystil Arden
12-18-05, 09:45 AM
(OOC: Also, if Mearran casts it on both and Vanitri forages,
you have to move at 30 that day)
"Oh? I don't know about that, but your mommy was pretty
smart too."
OOC: Yup, so, 40 days rations should be enough, and an extra
waterskin or two. Wait, we need to feed the dog to...
Rystil Arden
12-18-05, 09:56 AM
"Yeah, she was the smartest lady in the world!"
(OOC:
Yup, add in the dog and you've got it covered. Should be carryable without a
cart)
Vanitri smiles and lets Laynie finish her book, and
then they return it to the proper section, and head out to buy
rations.

12-18-05, 05:29 PM
Hewj looked up, checking the sun again for at LEAST the 10th
time. Looking around, the young half orc couldnt help wondering if the group he
had been following had slipped out another door, or left while he was haggling
with the merchants here.
What does one do in a library for so
long?
Hewj found himself sighing, wondering what he was doing and why he
didnt just approach the humans. Most here had at LEAST talked to him, and none
had been outright mean. A few had called him a cur, or some other derogatory
name, but as near as Hewj could tell everyone who tried to haggle too much with
a shopkeep got that honor. All in all he got a lot better attention here than he
ever did with the tribe that raised him. With that thought Hewj turned his
attention back to the door, once again trying to watch it without being too
obvious.
Rystil Arden
12-18-05, 09:08 PM
"Wow! Thaumaturgy is neat!" Laynie bubbles excitedly as
they head back with the book and she puts it back a little sadly, before heading
out with Vanitri and Mearran to buy rations.
*Hewj sees the trio head out
of the library.*
HugeOgre
12-19-05, 12:16 AM
Hewj keenly spotted the two men accompanying the young girl
as the exited from the library, and he could tell from their determined attitude
they now had in mind something to do. Adjusting his backpack he tipped his long
spear down so that it did not stand up so much above the people and moved off
toward them, eager to follow them wherever they went, though still hiding
amongst the people who walked the streets.
LogicsFate
12-19-05, 04:48 AM
Mearran follows along, whistling for Triton when they exit
the library. Who comes trotting up.
OOC: I would say we could double up
on Triton and cast on vanitri, but as written it looks like it has to affect
Mearran first
Rystil Arden
12-19-05, 05:13 AM
(OOC: Looks like it can't affect Triton, since he's not a
humanoid, right? Otherwise, you could cast it on yourself and have it affect him
too through the link)
Vanitri leads everyone to the market to find someone who
sells rations.
OOC: I thought the link delt with that?
Rystil Arden
12-19-05, 05:39 AM
Vanitri leads everyone to the market to find someone who

OOC: I thought the link delt with that?
(OOC: Ah,
that's true. Unusual...that would allow a Wizard with an Outsider familiar to
Rez it if he was also a cleric
And the good news is that Speed(Heavily
Encumbered Dog) == Speed(Vanitri) )
Vanitri shells out his half of the 40 rations.
OOC:
Yes, but only 1 target per 2 levels. However, it can effect anyone as the first
target as I read it, since it is range touch, and 1 target per 2
levels.
Rystil Arden
12-19-05, 06:52 AM
(OOC: That's right, so he has to cast twice)
LogicsFate
12-19-05, 05:38 PM
OOC: Any spell I cast on myself can affect Triton(as long as
I stay 5ft away or less). For the first day Mearran would probly just cast on
himself and have Laynie
ride triton, Since he keeps one spell handy for defense, he can change tomorrow.
On anouther note if we're still not sure on the spell, we could always ask KB,
if he/she's still around

with the baby, plus mentions of a husband, plus all female characters
;))

time I've wrongly guess sex and it proble won't be the last)
OOC: No problem, I did that in the adventure I was in that
KB ran :o And just keep a cure or two (even if it's a 0 level spell) available,
just in case. BTW, food bill will be 10 gold for each of us.
HugeOgre
12-20-05, 02:11 AM
Hewj grumbled to himself as he made his way behind the
group. They had already stopped at several vendors, and from what he could make
of it bought every last bit of rations and food as they went. His first thought
is that they were preparing a party, but even the dim witted Hewj eventually
realized they were instead planning for a long trip. He silently cursed his not
paying more attention to those who gave hunting and tracking lessons in his old
clan, but it was too late to dwell on it for too long. Hewj moved over one aisle
of the bazaar, keeping an eye on the brightly colored human with one eye while
he scanned the vendors for another who could provide him with more
food.
There was once where his heart skipped a beat for a few moments.
The crowd had grown thicker, and Hewj had lost site of his group. A quick run
forward a few paces reaquainted him with the three others, who remained
apparently oblivious to him a short distance away. He also spotted a new food
vendor, and wasting no time quickly tossed down enough gold to cover the cost of
it all. He spent ONLY SLIGHTLY more time shoving his new purchases into his pack
before heading out to catch up with the group who had already moved
on.
OOC: 5 gold and 5 silver for 11 additional days of food. Hewj has no
real idea how much the party bought, and it will be interesting to see how he
adapts later, I think. lol
(or a real chance at dumbest PC death
ever)

OOC: That's not counting the option that we may simply
outrun him at a 40' pace with the right spell. BTW, Vanitri is occasionaly
looking arround, just because he does that. Let me know if he notices someone's
been following them, which, granted, is probably a fairly small
chance.

Mearran remains focused forward, occasional petting triton
or making comments as they come to mind "It'll be nice to get out of the city,
eh? Everyone rushing around but not getting anywhere."
(OOC: If we do it
right it'll be 60ft pace)
"It's the Journy I look forward to. Wandering leads you to
where you're supposed to be. Tis an old 'folk saying." Vanitri says.
Rystil Arden
12-20-05, 10:04 AM
(OOC: How is it a 60-foot pace? I can't seem to see how that
works unless you cast two of that spell, one on Vanitri and another on Triton
and then put Laynie and
Mearran on Triton (encumbering him and slowing him to 60 like
Vanitri))

"I like it, it has a basic truth"
(OOC: You are
correct, thanks to a high wisdom I have the potental to cast it twice, so the
senerior you decribed was the one I imagined)
"The truth is just another way of looking at things,"
Vanitri chuckles. "Another 'folk saying."
OOC: Did you pay up for the
rations? I just marked it off my sheet (Note for RA and me as well)
Rystil Arden
12-21-05, 04:38 AM
(OOC: Okay, well we're set to go when you guys buy all your
things. Let me know the setup for speed. If you do go at 60', poor Hewj is going
to be left in your dust :lol: )
OOC: That's what he gets for stalking :p I'm ready whenever
Mearan is, just making small talk while passing OOC comments ;) Mearran is
setting the spead, though either way, I think Vanitri will be in front, followed
by either everyone else on dog, or dog/Laynie and then
Mearran.

12-21-05, 03:13 PM
OOC: Not that I care, Hewj can easily turn back to town, but
I would ask that you remember to base your character actions based on what they
know, not what you know. After all, I only bought 15 days of food, when from a
player perspective I know the trip will likely be longer. ;)
Rystil Arden
12-21-05, 07:21 PM
(OOC: Well, they wanted to go faster than 30 feet of speed,
whether or not they were being followed, I think. If Hewj got a horse that could
carry him, he could keep up, but he probably can't afford that, I
think.
Speaking of which, if Vanitri gets a light horse or light warhorse
that can carry him, that will save Mearran on one casting of the
spell)

"I wouldn't mind meeting these folk one day" Mearran looks
to Laynie "You understand
that this will be a long journey, right? If were going to get their quicky, it
may be best if you rode on Triton's back. Do you think you could do
that?"
OOC: Payed or will be in about 5 minutes when I get to that
thread
Mearrans doing what he/I origianlly planned, for at least the
first day. Which will be cast on self and stay within reach of Triton...just in
case
So 30ft for now, and if their is anyway for you to stick around go
for it. This is the second most fun I've had having a stalker :lol:
Rystil Arden

"Thankyou. Now, if we could stop for a second, there's an

does a quick chant while touching Triton
(OOC: edited last OOC in case ya
missed it :p, Also rations have been payed for, mearran coin puch jinngling with

Hewj could see the group was headed for the city gate long
before they ever reached the last street. Hustling ahead he made good time,
using his smaller frame and the fact he was alone to beat feet down the side
avenues. Once his long spear caught in a low hanging rope, threatening to jerk
the weapon from his hand, and a couple of times he nearly skewered a passerby,
but all in all the trek was much easier than the group he was following. More
than once he saw a horse that he would have LOVED to have liberated. Still,
something told him he'd get no leniency as a half orc horse thief if he were
caught, and so he continued on.
Even as he passed through the city gates
he could see the recklessness in what he was doing, heading off to follow a
group of people he didnt know to who knows where, for the gods know how long, to
a place he knows nothing about. Hewj wondered if all those beatings he took as
the clan runt had had an effect after all.
As he passed another man
coming from the gate a spark of brilliance hit him, and he found himself asking
the nearby gate guard "I say, what lies along this road?" For better or worse
and armed with his answer Hewj set out the gate, looking for commoners he might
walk near enough to conceal the fact he was alone.
OOC: This is my first
adventure, do I just adjust my character sheet to reflect my purchases, and is
there a format for doing so?
Rystil Arden
12-21-05, 10:31 PM
(OOC: In general on an adventure you don't just make the
purchases, but to me, Orussus is like the GM's Kryptonite. It is too much of a
shared city for me as GM to do anything but hide and hope you will leave :uhoh:
which means that you can purchase anything under the GP limit for standard
prices :))
HugeOgre

Capturing the reckless free spirited nature of a young half orc without creating
player problems may prove difficult. I appreciate any feedback the group has to
give on the subject.
Rystil Arden
12-21-05, 11:50 PM
"That's the road to Fallon, son," the guard replies to
Hewj.
(OOC: Sure, will do :))
"One last thing."
Vanitri will see if he can find a
good deal on a light warhorse. He even has a lovely guilded dagger to sell or
throw in if needed.
OOC: Bluff +4, Diplomacy +4 for
negotiation.
OOC: Good idea, I didn't think of that, though I'm a little
bit short of a light warhorse now since I got the lifetime pass. :(
OOC: On the free spirit thing, just be creative. He's
following us for a reason, obviously, but is it hostile? (if it is, btw, that
could be a potential problem, as all Player vs Player stuff has been nixed in
general unless both parties were willing, and that's only happened once a long
time ago.) Is there something in particular he's looking for? Just think through
stuff like that. You have a gypsy and a Katara, already a fairly weird
group.

(OOC: Okey dokey. By the way, now that Vanitri has done
this, Mearran can theoretically get on Triton, medium-loading him and decreasing
his speed to 60 to match Vanitri's horse. Of course, poor Hewj will be left
behind if that happens. LEt me know what the final arrangement is and we'll be
off in a bit)
OOC: Well, Hewj will also get to see that we have bought a
horse if he's following us well.
Rystil Arden

of his own though to keep up :()
OOC: Yup, be he has a chance to react to us buying one
before we ride off into the sunset...er to wherever we are going.
On a
side note, if Laynie
rides with me on Rambler, we can go 40 without a spell.
Rystil Arden
12-22-05, 07:15 AM
(OOC: That's correct, 40 for the dog and 40 for the
encumbered horse. Encumbered dog + spell is 60 and unencumbered horse is 60, so
one casting gives you 60...Although actually, if you could manage to get Rambler
to stay lightly encumbered...oh wait, never mind, the spell can't target
him.
Ah, you're right about Hewj. He could approach you guys or something
realising he can't keep pace with a horse.)
OOC: I know clothing doesn't hinder a person weight wise, so
does a saddle hinder a horse? If so, It's nearly impossable to have a lightly
hindered light warhorse.
Rystil Arden
12-22-05, 08:08 AM
(OOC: How so? Are you saying that everyone weighs at least
205 pounds? :p)
OOC: No, but them + gear likely does.
150 lbs man +
50 lbs gear = 200. A warrior could weigh a bit more than that even.
Rystil Arden
12-22-05, 08:16 AM
(OOC: A warrior, sure, but Zaeryl gets in under that amount.
I'd imagine you could probably shift some of the gear onto Triton if it was a
close call...
Actually, I just checked the Monster Manual, and the
designers gyp you, no pun intended on Vanitri, by choosing from the initial
monster stat array of 11 11 11 10 10 10 to not put an 11 in Strength for the
Light Warhorse. If you want a Light Warhorse that can carry 260 pounds, I'll let
you have one, but you have to knock down one of the odd scores in Dex, Con, or
Wis. May want to note that somewhere too in case the judges or another GM gives
you a hard time about it)
OO: Ok, I'll move it from Wisdom, and I'll note it later in
the sheet. Maybe they thought the animal was dumb which was why I got the deal
:)
Gonna pull it from the SRD at home though, since that format works
better in a character sheet than the one on d20srd.org
Rystil Arden
12-22-05, 08:28 AM
(OOC: Sure no problem--hope the extra 30 lbs helps
:))
OOC: Yup, particularly if the horse wants to carry anything
beyond a Saddle. I didn't Vanitri was that heavy...

6 if we only travel 10 hours. Sounds like a plan, and if he's getting tired one

more in Fallon soon :))

Mearran britsles angrily "I'm not a cat" But drops further
discussion
(OOC: Anyone interested in wares or too poor?)
OOC: Too
Poor on my end, and I'm richer than Mearran
I choose to be poor, so hey
unless something stand outs, Mearran will keep his.
OOC: LF, you'll have to
pay your own way
Do I owe anything now?
"What do you think Laynie? That's certaintly a
big city."
"It's certainly is"
don't you agree?"
"Sounds
like it might be right" Shrugging
OOC: Either of you use stealth mode? I
was going to switch to a color a bit hard to read in stealth.

"I'm not sure what it is exactly either, but it must be
right because Mommy said so!"
(OOC: Nope, no stealth for me :)
Oh,
and you owe nothing because Bront paid triple for everyone ;))
"Well, this will be your chance to learn won't it?"
OOC: No stealth here.

"Huh, it will?"
"Yes, the Accademy should be close."
Vanitri looks at
his companions, "Shall we?"
Rystil Arden
01-14-06, 07:42 AM
(OOC: Actually no. Fallon has a wizard's school, but the
Academy you are looking for is the next stop ;))
Rystil Arden

"Uhh, shall we what?"
"Continue? No reason to stand her and gawk."
Rystil Arden
01-14-06, 08:36 AM
"Oh, okay...but it's almost dark now--don't we want to rest
here?"
"I guess a room and food at an inn wouldn't be bad for a
change. How's that sound you two?"
Rystil Arden
01-14-06, 08:50 AM
"Okay!"

"Resonable" Mearran begins looking for anything that might
say inn.
Rystil Arden
01-17-06, 08:36 AM
*The group passes by a large park before they find an inn
called 'The Fallen Star'.*
"This looks promising." Vanitri says, as he looks for a
place to put up his horse.
Rystil Arden
01-17-06, 09:14 AM
*Vanitri sees a small stable connected to the
inn.*
Vanitri leads Rambler over to the stable.
Rystil Arden
01-17-06, 11:16 AM
*A young stableboy with a notably-missing front tooth greets
Vanitri as he enters the stable:*
"G'even sir. Y'checked in a'tha desk,
havya? A's a mighty fine horse y'got there."
"Aye, he is. No, I haven't checked in yet, was just about
to. Make sure he's cared for."
Vanitri slips the boy a
silver.
Rystil Arden
01-17-06, 11:30 AM
Many thanks, sir! I'll ta'good care of'im, y'be sure," the
boy quickly pockets the silver.
"Good lad." Vanitri says, and then heads into the
inn.

01-18-06, 08:12 AM
*Entering the inn, Vanitri sees a cosy-looking common room
with a few tables of chatting people and a bar with stools and patrons drinking.
A man behind the counter looks up and over to Vanitri.*
"Evening, sir.
Looking for a room there?"
LogicsFate
01-18-06, 08:18 AM
"Yes!" Mearran says loudly, perhaps too loudly as he feels
ignored "We'll need a room"
Rystil Arden
01-18-06, 08:20 AM
*The man looks down and sees Mearran and Laynie, then back up to
Vanitri:*
"Oh, you have kids...the little girl is cute, but is the other
one a...cat?...Umm, so how many rooms will you need, sir?"
LogicsFate
01-18-06, 08:34 AM
Quickly stepping in front of Vanitri, speaking loudly before
he can anwser "We'll need one room, two beds"
"My friend here is a Katara. Apparently the are a bit rarer
up here." Vanitri says, hoping to aleviate the Inkeeper's confusion.
Rystil Arden
01-18-06, 08:48 AM
"Oh...I see. I guess that sort of makes sense. Looks kinda
like what you'd get if a wizard crossed a halfling with a cat or something...So
you want one of our nicer rooms with two beds then? Sure thing sir and...uh sir
and cat? That'll be four gold. Dinner and breakfast is included."
LogicsFate
01-18-06, 09:00 AM
Mearran mutters a bit while digging through his coins for
two gold peices, pulling them out and looking over to make sure Vanitri has
enough
"Must be a nice room. How about care for the horse? Or do i
arrange that with the stable?" Vanitri says, as he looks though his ever
shrinking money pouch.
Rystil Arden
01-18-06, 09:12 AM
"Well, it is a room for two, plus meals for all three of
you. They'll take care of your horses at the stable too, all
included."
"Sounds good." Vanitri says and hands over 2
gold.
OOC: Now I'm down to a gold and change
Rystil Arden
01-18-06, 12:26 PM
*The innkeeper thanks Vanitri, and the group reaches their
room, which is fairly spacious, leaving more than enough room for Laynie to sleep on the
floor, since they didn't get a third bed for her. There's even a chamberpot in
the corner.*
OOC: With Mearran and Laynie being of small size,
could they share a bed?
Rystil Arden
01-18-06, 12:52 PM
(OOC: Sure, there's enough room. Laynie's little enough to
fit with either of them.)
LogicsFate
01-18-06, 08:19 PM
"I'm not a cat" Mearran mutters as he passes the
keeper.
Entering the room, he lays his things down in the courner. Tired
from the long ride Mearran laysdown there. As does Triton if no one complained
about him in the building. "Anything we need to do before we leave
tomorrow?"
OOC: Mearrans intentions all along, hopefully cutting
a little off the final price by not getting the suite :)
"Nope, dinner and rest sounds quite delightful."
