Hands of Fate - Chapter 1 - The Orbs of Insight

[Fangor the Fierce]

In the Cave:

Walking down the corridor, it appears that to the left, near the end of the hallway, there was another corridor tha tis now caved in. The rubble looks as if it has been there for some time, but not when this place was created. You stop here to look at the rubble, wondering what is behind it. As Gray Sparrow and Nedander peer down the end of the corridor, they can make out that it opens to what appears to be a large room. The cieling looks to rise quickly, and you can make out that it opens to the left.

Kevin, Darius and Nedander are waiting for the others to let them know what they see when they hear the faint sounds if something behind the rubble. Listening closely, they make out the sounds of something moving behind the rubble.

Jean and Mugen, looking at the cave-in, think that if they were to try and clear this out, it would take about an hour to make a hole big enough for them to go through, if everyone helped.

OOC - So which way? Straight towards the open room, or try and clear the path behind the rubble?

 

[Krug]

"Is this the trap room?" says Nyela. Is the kobold still with us?

 

[Drakknyte32]

Jeremy listens and takes a step closer to the rubble. H still holds his chain at the ready, not trusting anything in this cave to be harmless.

"Hey guys, it sounds like there is something behind this rubble. It might be a good idea to check it out."

In the Cave

Not sure of what to do, you stand there looking in both directions. The open room or the rubble blocked room?

In Town

Ghin moves through town, and learns that the shop is closed for the day. The man that tells him says that if he needs to get a hold of the owner, his farm is just outside the southern walls of the town. It won't be hard to find he says, just follow the animal sounds. He does notice that a group of boys keep running around in his area, seemingly interested in what he is doing. They continue to follow you, giggling and pointing every now and then. Do you head for the farm or change your mind?

 

[Krug]

"I'd vote for the rubble," says Nyela.

Ghin Coldstream: Babysitter at large!

*After talking with the man, Ghin decides to visit the owner at his residence. As he walks south towards the farm he notices the children following him as they dance about chuckling.*

"Ho there little ones! Perhaps you could show me to the farm of Jearghen. I sorely lacking company and am willing to pay you each a copper piece for your most valued assistance."

*With a broad smile he continues walking towards Jearghen's farm as he pets the young cub curled in his grasp.*

#Ghin likes children and loves the fact that they are all happy and playful like. If they accompany him to the farm he will give each a copper piece and send them on thier way. If they just giggle and laugh and decline his offer her will still head towards the farm.#

 

[Lefferts]

Nedander nods at Nyela's words and brings the lantern closer to the rubble.

OOC - I think his sword is out, if not he will draw it.

 

[Gomez]

"Do you think someone or something is trapped behind the rubble? Lets see if we can clear this rubble out. Someone keep a eye out and I will start moving these rocks." Gray Sparrow begins to move the rubble. Making sure that she does not get caught if the rubble shifts.

In the Cave:

Clearing away the rubble takes a while. Nedander provides light while Nyela, Kavin, Gray SParrow and kevin begin moving the rocks and rubble. Darius asks the kobold what is behind the rubble, but the Kobold squeeks a reply of not knowing what's behind there. He tells Darius that it sounds like another weasel to him.

The others help in what way they can, as not all of them can fit in the hallway to assist. They keep an eye out for anything down the hallway to the large room, but neither hear nor see nothing.

After about an hour of intense work, you can finally begin to clear a path large enough for the smaller ones to fit through. Do you continue to clear the path or send the smaller ones through. Listening for a second, you do not hear anything and from the limited view of the light, you can make out another room behind the rubble but can not see anything else in there.

In Town:

Ghin greets the kids with a smile, and they continue giggling. Then one turns to you and says, "We know where Jearghen lives! Follow us!" They must have surely loved the idea of gaining some copper for this simple task. They gather around you and drill you with questions. They continually tug at your waist, asking more and more questions. "What are you going there for? What's your name? Are you a student at the academy? What's that you're holding? Does it bite? Have you killed any one? Can you cast spells?" The questions continue on and on while you are escorted out of town, and make your way towards the south. After a few minutes outside of the town, you can see what Maximo was talking about. You start hearing the sounds of animals in the distance, and can spot the farm ahead. You notice a large gated area, and a large building as well. the house is situated in the front, and the boys get quieter as they approach.

"That's his place. We don't go any nearer, cause he has scary animals there sometimes." one of them says. Another answers, "I'm not scared! I once touched the gate!" Obviously a feat that he is proud of. They stop and turn to you, saying, "Can we have our copper now?"

 

[Hesseroph]

Ghin Coldstreamied Piper with Candy.

*With a deep bow Ghin pulls one copper for each child from his purse. He hands them each their reward with a broad smile.*

"I thank you little ones and here is your payment as agreed. You're all quite knowledgeable for your years and should be proud of that. May the light of Pelor guide your paths."

*Ghin bids the children goodbye as he heads towards the farm.*
