[QUOTE="The Grassy Gnoll, post: 6545816, member: 6788652"] [b]Lost Plot of Phandelver: part 6[/b] The group settled themselves in Phandalin after dropping off Gundren's wagon at Barthen's Provisions, as per their contract. Sildar, the bodyguard who they rescued from the goblins, had told them about Gundren's map to the fabled Lost Mine and it's Spell Forge - and given the grim tidings of his being bundled off to 'Cragmaw Castle' for further interrogation. After an ale or three, which Wren paid for out of his ox winnings, they rested in the local inn and chatted with the villagers, none of whom knew about this castle. In fact, they seemed more concerned about the local militia - the Redbrands - who were seemingly shaking down the businesses in town and had recently killed the town woodcarver for not paying their 'fee'. Worse, the mans family had been kidnapped. Bad things were afoot in Phandalin. The next morning, after a hearty breakfast of bacon (particularly hearty for Pandjead), they set out and enquired about town. WREN: Visited the Elven priestess of Tymora. She knew nothing but charmed him (using her bewbs+1) into finding the local banshee, Agatha, to ask about the whereabouts of a spell book. Giving him a jewelled comb to flatter her with and promising him healing potions for his trouble, the gnome left her none the wiser but tighter of trouser. Key dialogue: Wren: My companions and I were hired to guard Gundren's wagon... Priestess: (looking him up and down) And you're the muscle, are you? PANDJEAD: Visited the home of retired adventurer turned orchard keeper, Daren Edermath. He too, knew nothing of the castle they sought, instead asking him to explore Old Owl Well, where reports of undead have filtered back to town from prospectors scared away from the area. Also, sizing him up, he asked the Dragonborn to deal with the Redbrand menace, as he, Daren, was but one man... Key dialogue: Daren: You seem a no-nonsense sort of fellow. Pandjead: Got any cider? SIMEON: Visited the home of Halfling farmer Quinelle Alderleaf and was pointed to Thundertree, back nearly to Neverwinter, where a fellow Druid named Reidoth would know where to look. A breakthrough! On the way there he had stopped at the smithy to sharpen his cutlass, and Quinelle's son, very taken with the shiny sworded adventurer, promptly demanded a swish with the sword and that Simeon explore the secret entrance to the ruined manor the Redbrands use, that he had found just the other day. Key dialogue: Simeon: Thank you for the information, let me find my friends and...if you could...if you don't mind, I...can I have my sword ba... Son: Slash! Slash! Woo! All three met up for a beer at the inn and decided to find Sildar. He had promised them gold for getting him to town (free money, they were headed there anyway!). Finding him in the town mayor's office, they were given a bag of gold, promised lots of gold from the fat, spittle flecked mayor if they dealt with some orcs at Wyvern Tor a few days out if town, and promised more gold by Sildar to bring the Redbrands under control. As they left, a foursome of these red cloaked ruffians confronted them on the street outside, demanding they hand over their money and leave town. Pandjead was having none of it, especially after his chat with the veteran adventurer earlier. Two steps forward and his best battle roar set all four of them running, one of them shuffling somewhat due to a bad case of wet legs. The adventurers looked at each other. If this is what the Redbrands were like, surely they could take a short detour and deal with this bunch of cowards before setting off to find Gundren... [/QUOTE]
