[Adventure]: The Mark of Trogdor (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

[FourMonos]

Quan quietly watches the wolves and their interactions and communications. He knows there is much he must learn of the natural world.

OOC: Wasn't hit, no surges spent.

 

[dimsdale]

"You are aware that you're saying the wolf, an animal, TOLD you things? You are noble born, wee one, they'll call you crazy.

Lerrick ponders Rocco's statement before answering. Yes...you're right. I've know though for a long time that I was...different then my peers. My mother and father have done their best to educate me and...hide me...I guess is the best way to say it. Even though a dragon is going to try to sacrifice me, I've learn a lot about myself and the powers granted to me. Lerrick looks around at the party and thinks about all of the sacrifices they've made thus far to keep her safe. She reaches over and gives the dwarf a big hug. Thank you for keeping me safe. I know you guys will take care of me until the ritual is completed. While Lerrick hugs Rocco Kujo bears his teeth and growls.

[sblock=perception check from everyone: passive or roll 15 or higher]
If you pass the check you find something of interest.

Once everyone has rolled a check and i tell the result of the check, you may continue onward.
There is a path leading deeper into the cave.
[/sblock]

Lerrick lets go of the dwarf. Easy Kujo...he's a friend as well as everyone else here. Kujo relaxes, but keeps alert. Lerrick turns back to Rocco. I'll have to tell my parents eventually. My mother will understand...She smiles...My father will not. But I think time and his love for me will make things okay in the long run.

OOC: Spend 1 surge to heal 17 + 1d6

"Was there a path in the back of that Cave?" Halleck asked, curious, walking back into the cave, preparing for the stench, "And what was found on the bodies?"

[sblock=Note to other Players: Bravura]
Halleck has the Bravura Presence:
When an ally who can see you spends an action point to take an extra action and uses the action to make an attack, the ally can choose to take advantage of this feature before the attack roll. If the ally chooses to do so and the attack hits, the ally can either make a basic attack or take a move action after the attack as a free action. If the attack misses, the ally grants combat advantage to all enemies until the end of his or her next turn.

Melee characters might also want to save their AP until I hit with Withering Courage, so they can double dip on the +5 damage bonus.

[/sblock][sblock=Halleck's Log]
1. Thorkelson, a bald, tattooed man, entered the hangman's tavern and recruits Halleck and Vimak for a job. Thorkelson, needed some protection at the docks, but apparently had some sinister other motive, since he used drinks from the bar to drug Halleck and Vimak.

2. Wake up in the middle of a fight, being helped by strangers. Give the bandits a beating,

3. Get approached by the bandit leaders, who have two girls that look exactly like that one we want. The real girl is revealed, and natural, a fight breaks out. After we smash the goons, their leader, Hank the Tank comes out. And, eventually, Hank gets killed.

4. Get the real mission: deliver Lerrick to brother Buchta, so he can remove the mark of Trogdor from her forehead. The mark is in indicator to all that Lerrick has been chosen to be sacrificed to the dragon Bosch. Your quest as of now is to provide safe passage for Lerrick to brother Buchta so that he can perform the ritual. This includes taking her to the portal, traveling thought it, and then taking her from the portal to brother Buchta's place of residence.

OOC: Oops, only a couple people had a chance to see the exit from the back of the cave...and the ones who did were destracted by the bumbling tumbling giant types.

[sblock=Raijin]
In addition to the sword you found for Halleck, you notice in a pile of rubble (marked as "z" on the map) a cloak still attached to the rotting corpse of what used to be a large man dressed in broken platemail. The cloak might be something that would fit the dragonborn. You summarize that this man, along with other slain adventurers could have been the first party that was hired by Lord Weinfurter. Obviously the party did not fulfill the quest.

OOC: Oops indeed. Redo.

"Perhaps there is a reason such vicious creatures protected this cave," Halleck said. he scanned the area, and then walked up to one of the dead men. "Tell me, good sir, what happened here?"

While his pray was dead, his tone was quite convincing.

 

[FourMonos]

Quan points out the pack with the potions he saw earlier scouting the cave.

OOC: Passive perception 21. There were 2 extra healing potions, right?.

 

[dimsdale]

OOC: Oops indeed. Redo.

"Perhaps there is a reason such vicious creatures protected this cave," Halleck said. he scanned the area, and then walked up to one of the dead men. "Tell me, good sir, what happened here?"

While his pray was dead, his tone was quite convincing.

For a second Halleck thought that the corpse made a movement, but it was only his imagination...or was it? The warlord continues to observe the corpse for a few minutes more, but sees nothing. However, out of the corner of his eye he sees another coprse wearing a tattered robe.

[sblock=Halleck]
As you takes a closer look you see that the corpse's right arm has been ripped off, but the left arm is intact. In fact, the left hand has something in its grasp. As you pry open the fingers from the object you see a strange metallic orb. This one discharges electricity. The first time it does so you flinch, but you feel no pain. The location of the corpse is shown as "W" on the map.
[/sblock]

In the meantime, Quan retrieves the backpack he had spotted earlier.

[sblock=Quan]
In addition to the two extra healing potions, there is some ritual items similar to the ones that wear given to the party from brother Navio. Connecting the dots, you realize that this was probably a member of the original party that was hired by Lord Weinfurter to contact Brother Buchta and deliver the ritual components for the removal of the mark on Lerrick's forehead.

[MetaVoid]

Nementah smiles as the girl hugs 'tough and rough' dwarf. Traveling with him, she came to realize Rocco is hard, but good and basically harmless despite his looks. Unless you're fighting him.

"See, Rocco, there is something good that comes from everything. If we didn't bypass those wolves at the clearing, Kujo wouldn't be here to help us guard Lerrick. And he might come to like you."

OOC: Passive perception 22, no chance of not seeing something
