[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 6164614, member: 21938"] With the Cult of Urgathoa seemingly destroyed, the blood veil no longer spreads as virulently as it once did, but Korvosa is a broken city with many houses abandoned, boarded up and marked with the red cross of the plague. The streets are quiet, Citadel Volshyanek is eerily empty and litter strewn, Marshal Kroft having lost many personnel to the plague. But there is hope. Mamusia Lela and Brindom think that the notes of Doctor Davaulus and Rolth contain enough clues to help with the formulation of a cure for blood veil. Kroft thanks the group on behalf of the city and gives them each a writ that can be redeemed for goods throughout Korvosa, including the Citadel armoury. She looks askance at the enchanted scythe. [COLOR="#FF0000"]"A weapon like that is intrinsicly linked with evil cultists,"[/COLOR] she says, [COLOR="#FF0000"]"but I [I]am[/I] authorised by the City to pay a bounty on dangerous magic items, so I could take it off your hands if you like." [/COLOR] Word spreads of the events under the Hospice of the Blessed Maiden, and the group are lauded as heroes of the city wherever they go. There are other, darker rumours too, however, that the Grey Maidens were somehow implicated. Some blame the Queen, others blame Sabina Merrin, leader of the Grey Maidens and purported lover of the Queen, and some rumours accuse Sabina of attempting to gain control of the city via her influence on the Queen (who has not been seen in public since the disease started). Others blame the Order of the Nail, who retreated from the city as soon as the plague began, part of a plot by Cheliax to reclaim Korvosa, so they say. The ruthless efficiency of the Grey Maidens, however, quash any pockets of trouble, and for the most part the citizens of Korvosa are still too shocked from the recent events to cause trouble. Perhaps that was the plan all along. And the House of the Forgotten bides its time. [sblock=OOC] Well done, that's pretty much it for Seven Days to the Grave! I'll start a new thread for the next installment - Escape from Old Korvosa - soon. Meanwhile the PCs have 2500gp worth of vouchers that they can spend, and you can effectively "sell" any items to Kroft. They also gain a +2 bonus to all Bluff and Diplomacy checks against citizens of Korvosa thanks to their fame. Or at least, against those who appreciate what they have done... [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
