Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Campaign (ToEE) - Continued

[Rhun]

The bard gives Deren a hard look. "Just ask around, you fool. Have you seen a single lawman in this place? There is no law is this town but the strength of your arm. Just start askin' about slaves and such, and I'm sure you'll find an interested party soon enough! This whole village is nothing but bandits, pirates and Temple agents!"

[Rhun]

"I've told you all I know...now let me go. I've done nothing to you!"

[Dog Moon]

Deren glares at the man, his hand whitening from clutching his dagger too tightly. Where he came from, if anyone became as annoying as this person, they receive a knife to the gut. But no, that was supposed to be all behind him.

"Maybe we should look for this 'ville' person and mention that we have someone we're willing to sell. I wonder if anyone would want to purchase a musician?" he speculates aloud. "How would you like to live through the same fate you've set others up for?" Deren dimly hopes the others don't truly believe him; his past was not a pretty picture, but he had never before sold anyone into slavery.

[Rhun]

OOC: There is still the evil of the Temple to contend with; and your mission didn't exactly bring you here to investigate slavers, it brought you here to deal with the Temple...all except for Shoon, that is.

Also, just a reminder that nobody has had a full night's rest at this point. So no spell recovery until then.

[Dire Lemming]

OOC: Will someone please roll a good Sense Motive on this guy so we can figure out what's really happening?

"Nothing? You kidnapped Anemone and sold her to pirates and you call that nothing? No, you are not going anywhere. You are going to help us find this captain."

[Dichotomy]

After doing his part to help subdue the musician, Aeron contends himself with, for the moment, silently watching the more emotional of his friends interrogate the man. The Last Prophet gauges the responses given, attempting to discern whether each is credible.

OOC

Aeron has a +4 to sense motive. I'm assuming Rhun would want to make the roll, to avoid player-knowledge of whether the roll likely to have succeeded or failed.

[Rhun]

The bard shrugss at Shoon's words. "Fine, then, I'll help you find the captain. Its not like I owe him anything. We did some business and that was it."

For Dichotomy

Aeron detects no deception from the man; he gets the feeling the man simply wants to save his own skin, and would willing sell out this captain to do so.

I think we should let Rhun roll for us.*

*This is what Invisible Castle gave me... Seven

[Rhun]

For Dog Moon

Deren detects no deception from the man; he gets the feeling the man simply wants to save his own skin, and would willing sell out this captain to do so.

[Voadam]

"I heard you have connections to the Temple. Are either the captain or the dwarf agents for the Temple? I am most interested."

[Rhun]

The bard turns his attention to Sir Merrick. "The dwarf is an agent of the Temple, to be sure; I'm don't know exactly who he works for, but he is some sort of leader among the bandits that serve those dark priests. I don't believe the Captain serves the Temple, though. I believe his is simply a raider or pirate or such. There are many of them here in Nulb...they can sail their vessels up from the Nyr Dyv and even beyond...the Sea of Gearnat, you name it. And the Imerdys Run is navigable all the way to Nulb's docks from the Velverdyva."

[Dire Lemming]

"Alright, you will come with us to the Boatman's Tavern to help us find this captain and save Anemone. Then we will decide what to do with you from there. So long as you do not betray us, we will not have to harm you." Shoon looks to the others for confirmation, though he is starting to feel a little tired, he's not about to let up when he's so close.

[Rhun]

Daryan can only nod at Shoon's words.

[Dichotomy]

Aeron leans in close to Sir Merrick, whispering, "Can you take care of this without me? I am loathe to wake Ciaran unless we must, since we will almost certainly need his magic at full strength tomorrow. But I am even more loathe to leave him here alone as he sleeps."

[Rhun]

As the sudden silence drags on, Daryan finally clears his throat. "If you guys don't really know what you want to do, you could just let me go?"

[Dire Lemming]

"LIke I said, we are going to the boatman's tavern and you are coming with us." He looks around at the others. "Are we ready to go?"

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Listen to me dirt bag ... If you are going to scream like a little bunny for help I’ll squeeze you so hard till you puke your bones.
The Gladiator tries to intimidate the bard. He’ll then takes his chain from the wagon and prepare himself.

*intimidate - I think I should be granted some bonus. He is outnumbered and terrified

OOC: Hmm, seems like this is an ideal time for some negotiation...since Korbryn the dwarf in your RttToEE game is also trying to intimidate right now, and outnumbers and terrifies a bound opponent, I think he should also receive a bonus.

[Rhun]

Shoon, Zirat, Merrick and Deren leave the barn, following Daryan Silverhorn's directions along the rutted, dirt roads of Nulb, between the ill-kept, ramshackle hovels and cottages, and toward the Boatman's Tavern. Ciaran continues to sleep, while Aeron remains behind to watch over his companion.

The streets are dark and quiet at this time of night, now nearly an hour after midnight, though you can hear the occasional burst of song and laughter from behind you at the Waterside Hostel. As you continue through the village, those sounds fade, and soon enough you can hear similar sounds coming from ahead. You must be approaching the Boatman's Tavern...

More to come tonight.
