[QUOTE="xnosipjpqmhd, post: 3623554"] [b]Insane Clown Posse[/b] While on his way to the Temple of the Order of St. Cuthbert, Tateland was assaulted by painted-faced ruffians. "I guess you didn't learn your lesson," said one of them, tapping a club into his palm. Tateland unhooked his mace, but soon a gang of four had gathered around him and began beating him to a pulp. Suddenly one of the attackers cried out in pain and fell to the ground, a knife stuck in his back. Then a second knife flew out of the darkness, striking another of the attackers. Bruised and battered, Tateland tried to get away from the thugs, but he tripped over the fallen one and fell to the ground. The remaining three ruffians backed off. "We ought to finish you off, priest," said the wounded one, "and if you keep being nosy, we will!" They split up and ran off into the rainy night, laughing insanely. Tateland picked himself up. From out of the darkness emerged the mysterious knife thrower. "Are you alright?" "I will be when I make it to the temple." "Come on, I'll help you." "Thank you," said Tateland. "But I can manage." "Then maybe I should take this street thug to the temple for you." The two men finished their journey to the temple and carried the now lifeless body inside, where Tateland informed Jenya of the latest assault, and also of the mysterious grey-skinned creature in Ghelve's Locks, and what Keygan had subsequently told him about the rash of kidnappings. Simon listened intently. Jenya healed Tateland, then provided him with a healing potion. "And you, Simon," she turned to Tateland's saviour. "The Order wishes to thank you for your good deed." She handed him a healing potion as well. "You two know each other?" asked Tateland. Now that he could see the man in the light of the continual flames within the temple, a look of recognition crossed his face. Simon nodded. "I drove one of the teams in the caravan you accompanied," nodded the man, introducing himself as Simon Filigree. "I support the faith in my own way. Perhaps I can help you find the missing children." *** At that moment, Jack, Keygan, and Oberyn were gathered around the dead body in the back room of Ghelve's Locks, when two more grey-skinned figures appeared. One of them yelled words at Keygan and slashed with it's rapier, but the dwarf jumped out of the way. Jack and Oberyn drew their swords and moved to attack, while Keygan backed up and cast a spell, creating a shimmering vest of force to protect himself. In moments the souls of the two invaders joined their departed comrade, if those beings have an afterlife. *** Later, when Simon and Tateland arrived, everyone compared notes on the two encounters that night. Tateland offered his healing potion to Jack. "You'll need this before I," he said. Simon introduced himself to the others. If Oberyn recognized him from the caravan, he didn't acknowledge it. They piled the dead bodies in front of the secret door, then made their preparations for spending the night. [sblock=GM Commentary]Simon joined in the second session of the campaign, but I had worked him in as an NPC in the first session (one of the caravan drivers).[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
