Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

[Thanee]

“Good. Then we can move on and collect the rest of this puzzle,” Dara remarks. “Thanks!”

[Legildur]

Kurt nods silently in agreement. He feels a calm wash over him as he now sees the wisdom in the Church sending him to Hommlet. Where Kurt thought he was simply a sword against Evil, he now recognises a greater purpose to uphold - and it means his, and many others', very life or death.

[Leif]

OOC: Yada, yada, yada.... Trev doesn't care about all that high-falutin' good vs. evil, save the world and live happily ever after junk. He just wants a big pile of gold and a few dozen wenches to help him spend it!

Trevor just rolls his eyes, sighs, and falls in at the back of the procession heading back to the Temple. "Here we go again. May fortune favor the foolish!"

[Rhun]

Lord Burne can only raise an eyebrow at Trevor's words, and wonder how this newcomer got involved in going along with the brave deeds of the King's Agents. "Good luck my friends. I will continue my research in your absence, and I shall send a bird to Chendl to advise the royal court of your progress."

[Boddynock]

Ragnok stands - perhaps eager to be gone from the scene of his previous betrayal.

"Right, let's go! Now, what were you saying before about going to Nulb?"

[Rhun]

Tarag?

[Leif]

OOC: Took the word right out of my mouth

[Rhun]

Lord Burne smiles at Ragnok's enthusiasm to get underway. "It is late; I wouldn't recommend travelling to Nulb at night. It is said that bandits often lie in wait for pray."

[Leif]

"Then might you spare us some floor space until morning?"

[Rhun]

"Of course, you can sleep in the bunkroom with the guards. I am certain there are enough spare bunks."

[Leif]

"Excellent! Thank you, kindly, Gracious Lord Burne."

[Rhun]

Burn simply nods at Trevor. "If that is what you all wish, I shall have Dansom show you the way."

[Leif]

OOC: Trevor can sense that this dude doesn't really care for him, for some unknown reason. (I mean, let's face it, Trev's just a real PRINCE of a guy! ) But, for his part, Trevor kinda likes Lord Burne, and will endeavor to not irritate their host any further than he apparently already has.

[Scotley]

The Warlock whispers to the dwarf, "The business about Nulb was just a ruse in case any temple spies lurk about. In the morning we make a show of preparing to journey to Nulb, but our goal is once again the temple."

[Leif]

Unable to hear Verdis's whisper to Ragnok, Trevor remains befuddled by why in hades they want to go to Nulb. I mean, YUKKK!

[Rhun]

Burne continues standing, looking at you, waiting for a decision to be made.

[Legildur]

"Our thanks to you," Kurt says simply, sketching a slight bow to Lord Burne as he waits for Dansom to show the way.

[Rhun]

The solider called Dansom, a heavily bearded man in chain armor and a much patched cloak, leads you back downstairs, to the "ground level" of the tower (the main entrance being a level above this one). The walls are thicker here, and all sorts of barrels and crates are stacked against the walls...supplies of food, drink, oil and weapons. There are no windows or arrowslits, the place lit only be oils lamps in wall cressets. There are a score of bunks in the room, most of them unoccupied, though it seems a couple of off-shift shoulders are catching some sleep.

[Scotley]

Striping off his crossbow and other gear, Verdis selects an empty bunk. "Rest up, who knows when we'll have another chance."
