Adventure: A Tale of Two Domains (DM:Luinnar, Judge:renau1g)

[TwoHeadsBarking]

Andras looks very uneasy in such luxurious quarters. He starts pacing across the room, his arms crossed over his chest. "This seems... odd. Akriel isn't exactly keeping a low profile for someone trying to hide from a violent suitor." He shakes his head, "i suppose the silly girl's too lovestruck to think straight. Also, wolves again. This time on the man's key. This entire land is obsessed with the beasts."

Without looking towards the warforged, he replies, "Your name isn't 'Admiral Fantastic', so you're probably fine."

>Finally back on-line in a more than 'occasional trip to the library' fashion. Will try to catch up ASAP- possibly tonight.

>Looks like Brenn will be level 8- leveling up may take some time as most of my books are still packed, but I'll get started on the wiki sheet.

GM: Welcome back! Before you level up let me know if you have an idea for any low-paragon weapon you want for Brenn (see below )

Dorn steps closer to Quagmire. Perhaps I have become too used to ignoring his antics, he thinks. The young half-orc raises both of his hands and closes his eyes, probing the 'forged for any evidence of arcane infection. (Arcana 29)

[sblock=Dorn]
Using your arcane senses, you sense the wounds radiating dark shadow energy from them, almost like a curse. However, it was no spell that caused these wounds. The dark energy you feel must have been caused by the creature itself.

Oh my! exclaims the attendant as he pushes in a cart of food for lunch. I am sorry Sir, he says walking over to Sir ExSixTen somehow the table seems to have been damaged. I do not know how we did not notice this before. I will see that it is taken care of as soon as possible. he says, serving the food.

If you have need of anything Gentlemen (and Your Majesty) please ring the bell. The tavern opens at eight if you wish to partake in any evening drinks. he says, bowing and exiting the room.

After you had a filling meal of veal and steamed vegetables the door opens once again. This time however it is the Akriel. She is wearing a black hooded cloak and quickly closes the door and locks it.

Oh my, I did not realize the Duke would be in town. she says uncovering her hooded head and sitting at a spare seat. If I knew that I would have been more careful. I just caught a glimpse of him when going to meet you, that is why I am late. Still, I do not think he spotted me. My family is friends with the owner, we should still be safe here.

My researched I mention last we talked is complete, I have discovered the route to the Crown of Soldier's resting place! she says in a whisper. It is to the east of Harmonia near the border between Kartakass and Bluetspur. You can get there if you return to Harmonia and then travel east. The crown is kept in a dry desolate canyon were "the bones lie". I believe it is here, she says, unfolding a map from her pocket and pointing to a canyon on the map. The crown should be in a cavern found in the canyon. When you find it please return here with it.

No, perhaps that is too dangerous. Here, she says pointing to the map north of Skald is a realm called Gundarak. You will find road here she says pointing and following it come to a fork in the road. The lesser of the two roads heads east up into a forested valley. My love Dr. Dominiani's keep can be found there. The crown will be safer in his hands. I am sure he will reward you for your services. she adds.

Oh and I brought you these, she says opening up a bag bringing out fine looking weapons and a suit of armor. These are from my uncle as promised. I trust him, but he does not know about the plan. Who knows what people the Duke has in his pay.

Is there anything else you wish to know? she asks.

GM: Since you are fighting Paragon level monsters, I thought you should have paragon level weapons Treasure: Jax: Frost Dagger +3 (wishlist) Sir ExSixTen: Withering Waraxe +3 (wishlist) Andras: Challenge-Seeking Longbow +3 (wishlist) (or Rebounding longbow +3 if you rather have that). Dorn: Jagged Dagger +3 (unless there is some other +3 weapon level 13 or below you would like to have for your build) Brenn: Deathcut leather armor +2 A +3 weapon level 13 or lower. Quagmire:Withering longsword +3 Crit:+3d6 Property: Each time you hit with this weapon in melee, the target takes a -1 cumulative penalty to AC. The target can make a saving throw to end the entire penalty, but it can receive the penalty again with future attacks.

Jax gives a nervous look to the locked door.

"I don't like that the Duke almost found you already. Do you trust really the inn's owner? To keep you hidden, I mean. We can always escort you to the canyon, and to your love. There just may be a lot of werewolves in the way." That goes without saying...

OOC: Treasure, yay! Level 11 is going to be sweet (if Jax survives that long); frostcheese, daggermaster, more sneak attack damage, feat bonus increases. /drool

 

[Iron Sky]

THIS WEAPON IS DEFINITELY WITHIN MY AREA OF AXEPERTISE, Sir Exsixten says, taking the axe and examining it briefly. AXECEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP IF YOU AXE ME.

He looks at Akriel.

SO, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS INVADE DOMINIANI, FIND HARMONIA, KILL THE DUKE SO WE CAN GET THE CROWN AND BRING IT BACK TO LORD GUNDARAK?

He waits almost a full second.

PERFECT, LET'S BE OFF CITIZENS!

He walks over to the door and, finding it locked simply stares at it for several seconds. Then, a thought seems to dawn on him and he jumps up in alarm.

IT'S A TRAP! THE BATTLESTATION IS FULLY OPERATIONAL!

OOC: Updating my character sheet.

GM: My inner DM has failed his horror check and has already ran away screaming My inner PC says: Yay Paragon! I'll be able to set up obscene nova damage rounds with my Tempest Fighter every milestone!

Jax gives a nervous look to the locked door.

"I don't like that the Duke almost found you already. Do you trust really the inn's owner? To keep you hidden, I mean. We can always escort you to the canyon, and to your love. There just may be a lot of werewolves in the way." That goes without saying...

Do not worry. When we are done I will leave town and go to a small estate my family has nearby. I will be safe there she says smiling.

IT'S A TRAP! THE BATTLESTATION IS FULLY OPERATIONAL!

Ahhh! Akriel screams, ducking under the table. Please! Don't let him get me!

 

[nerdytenor]

Before Akriel Arrived...

Dorn frowns at Sir Exsixten.

"Your wound is infected with the Shadow, no doubt from the beast who attacked you. I am sorry, but I am no healer. I cannot tell you what will happen, nor how to cure it."

Later...

Dorn examines the jagged dagger. He gently caresses the blade with one finger.

"This is a princely gift. Thank you - I will do my best to put it to good use."

OOC: Sweet blade, thanks. Would have been one of my top picks if I actually had a wish list.
