Master of Jade, Mistress of Iron - a World of Conclave adventure

[HolyMan]

He-Mit holds his tongue, not wishing to talk in front of the Omwtys or Mister Fortune. When the Garden is mentioned, it just confirms his suspicious so he tightens his lips a little more.

Then the shamanic figure, Blue speaks up and he nods. "Maybe those of us who truly wish to continue on should go someplace more private. Unknown to anyone not of our circle. I'm sorry Mister Fortune, I mean no disrespect." he adds with a small bow.

"But you should come with us for a bit Omwtys, for your safety of course." He-Mit says giving the man with the yellow sash an intimidating glare.

[sblock=Rolling] an aid another for someone else to try Intimidate to get the yellow sash man's disposition up enough for him to want to help. EDIT: Well he isn't the Face for a reason LOL[/sblock]

Blue scowls. Bullying the man wasn't what he had in mind. He looks to see what the others are planning on doing.

Mister Fortune gives He-Mit a slight bow.

"No disrespect taken," he says. "Believe me when I say that I would be more than happy for you all to go elsewhere." He smiles a smile without warmth.

The Black River man currently held by Sil's protective claws suddenly speaks up.

"That stupid girl got the wrong person," he says. "This was meant for him, not your friend." He indicates the impaled palu devil, then Yellow Sash, with a nod of his head on the words "this" and "him". "Still, it serves as a warning to those who'd mess with the Black River." He seems smug for one held captive by a large group of dangerous-looking individuals.

 

[GlassEye]

Blue blinks in surprise (though he really shouldn't be).

"More twisted by the moment," he mutters.

"Hm" Hang had been silent all the way, observing from a muted stance to unfoldment of the events around him. As the thug speaks up, probably inspired by frustration and rage, the warrior smiles. "Grab him." He orders to no one in particular, and points a finger to the yellow sash man; the one still breathing, that is. If no one complies, the stout warrior has no problems doing so himself.

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: Everyone back? I want to get PCs alone before telling them what He-Mit knows form his rolls.

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: I'm back. We can assume that everyone moves to another location, perhaps somewhere that one of the PCs are staying in Llaza.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Mal watches the proceedings, to all appearances uncaring as to the outcome. When the others decide to move to a more private venue to discuss the goings-on, he follows quietly.

[sblock=OOC]Sorry for the non-interactive post. Between the Hack-Attack and my family being struck down by a virulent stomach virus for the past 4 days I'm feeling a little disconnected. I'm here, and keeping up![/sblock]

"Let's move to my place." Hang suggested. He had rented a room in a establishment more suiting to his higher level of income. "Quickly and quietly."

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: PCs alone but with the small man in the yellow sash brought along correct? Even so.

Following the man to his home He-Mit waits till the group is inside before calling everyone's attention. "I have heard many stories in my life, and one was told of this Black Rover Society and the people related to it. The story is long and I will not waste time here. But the meat of the story is this...

...The Black River Society is a criminal cartel, originating in Llaza but said to spread throughout the Anhoi River and Southern Sea nations. They deal in illicit cargo of all kinds - drugs, slaves, tabusami magic (i.e. illegal magic dealing with evil spirits and necromancy, guns and other alchemical items from Hudan, etc.).

Many officials who should do something about it have been bribed or intimidated into inaction. They are said to have a cellular structure, each cell operating more or less independently under the direction of a figure known as a "Father".

Kalog "The Knife" is rumoured to be such an individual in Llaza, but even if these rumours are untrue there are many others about him. He runs an unsavoury bar known as The Chrysanthemum Garden in Llaza, a den of yaama users and there are rumours of pit fights and links to assassins."

After he is done speaking he gagues their "prisoners" reactions. "I think that our path leads to The Chrysanthemum Garden."
