Insight's "The Isle of Dread" - Chapter One

[Shayuri]

Astra glances down at the gnome, but leaves him to Questor at first.

Then she realizes, That means he's describing Nafje going in. I wonder...

"Sir gnome," the elf says, hunkering down to his level. "Did you note in your journal the hasty and furtive exit of a half-elf just before we came out? Perhaps you even took note of where he went?"

 

[Rhun]

Vrashek ignores the voices from outside the tavern, and leans back against the doorjamb. He was confident that the others could take care of the half-elf. He keen eyes look about the place for other entrances or exits, should the Veiled Society decide to send their agents to deal with him.

 

[Walking Dad]

Adam of Brightcastle

Adam stays at the tavern. They got two suspects. No sense that everyone should follow just one...

"Oh, NO, milady! You see, I was reading from PAGE ONE! But that was from WEEKS and maybe MONTHS ago! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Flerrian furiously flips through his fabulous journal. "Maybe it was... oh you mean HAGANZIS the WELL-ENDOWED! Or... what was that bloke's name...? URSAL BROKENSPEAR!!! Or, do you mean just NOW? Oh, that wasn't... lemme see..." He continues flipping pages. "You mean GORYS! Oh, he's harmless. I hear he works at the docks... or he's an escort... or a scribe. I can't remember!"

 

[renau1g]

Questor looks ruefully at the Gnome's antics. "Oh, please spare me. I never did understand you Gnomes -- always wishing that you were halflings. It's pitiful, really. But see yon Dwarf having a word with Boroum? Look not at him all at once you dolts! This is Kordin the Overbearded, one of the Veiled Society. It is said that he is privy to some of the most closely guarded secrets that the Society possesses, and that he even has some say regarding which members learn which secrets. I know that some of his closest associates are cutthroats and knee breakers. What could he be wanting with Boroum? And at this specific time, too? Methinks this bodes unwell."

Keharn is ready to sic Bjarn on the gnome, but holds back, last thing he needs is city guards trying to kill his companion...again.

"Why don't we go and talk to Kordin? That half-elf seems to have disappeared, this guy's a good lead" Keharn suggests

OOC: Keharn will aid Astra on a Perception check to find any recent tracks/evidence from the half-elf's departure first though.

 

[JustKim]

Nafije stayed in the inn with Adam, Vrashek, and perhaps Cassi and Skaros. She fed Goldie a mix of seeds, nuts, and dried fruit from a pouch, but any astute observer could see that Nafije snuck a bite here and there herself.

"Adam," she said, "how is your tiger? Did you try any of those herbs for his tummy problem?"

 

[Insight]

Captain Rex, apparently roused from his slumber, staggers to the side room where the adventurers had been holding court. "Mr. Feathers?" he says upon seeing Nafjie's bird. The sea captain approaches, bleary-eyed and smelling of a distillery and perhaps an outhouse. "Oi, I know a certain Rory Barbarossa who'll be very glad to see you!"

OOC: Roll 'em!

 

[Shayuri]

At the gnome's response, Astra frowned for a moment, then seemed to lose interest. She stood up and studied the ground with a sharp elf eye and the experience of nearly a century of hunting...

 

[Almightyfoon]

Barook chooses to ignore the urge to strangle the gnome. He decides to simply grab the annoying creature by the scruff of the neck and bring it up to his eye level. "Gnome, be useful, or be gone. Did you see the person my companion asked about?"
