Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

[Kafkonia]

"No," Llewellyn says flatly, "but I shall give you some coin for yourself. What you choose to do with it is your choice."

He hands a siingle silver piece to the lead halfling.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

"On such a day as this how could we not spare some coin for the clergy. May it help those in need as you travel north."

The small creature takes the gold and lifts his face, it's a Halfling woman
she smiles kindly as she place the coins in the pocket.
What news do you bring from the north kind strangers and we shall tell you what's going on in the south hills.

 

[Voadam]

"Peace be upon you pilgrims. In the North the aligned lands remain vigilant against ploys of Old Wicked and maneuvers of his empire and agents. There is little news though as his armies are quiet and the nations mostly focus on their own peoples for the moment. The storm has kept many indoors and you are the first travellers we have seen in a while. It is a good rain, it will refresh the earth and lead to bountiful harvests which the lands can use as many still recover from the great wars. Are you come from the South with news to share?"

 

[Rhun]

Korbryn stands vigilant nearby, quietly observing these pilgrims while his companions converse with them. He has heard many tales of brigands posing as innocent travelers, and is determined that nobody takes him by surprise. Still, news from the south would be most welcome, and the dwarf takes care to remain close enough to hear the conversation.

We came from the blessed Elven kingdom of Celene, we passed the Kron from the eastern road.
She says with a smile and offers you a unique piece of yellow Halfling's bread.
Wild animals kept a distance from us, but we encountered several hobgoblins wandering west of the Emraldy river and dealt with them.
She uncovers her sword's sheath for you to see.
We saw weird, heavily garbed humans, taking distance from us a mile ahead and vanish into the hills. We spent two days in Hommlet, collecting donations from the people, it a peaceful place.
She turns to the other pilgrims and speak in the mother tongue of the Halflings, she then turn back.
We must depart, we intend to reach the free city by evening, may Cyrrollalee protects you kind strangers.

 

[Voadam]

"Peace be upon you pilgrims. One question before you go, how were these humans garbed?"

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

"Peace be upon you pilgrims. One question before you go, how were these humans garbed?"

As brown as the ground you step on
Replies one with a squeaky voice
Nahh.. Deep yellow, like the color of the beautiful sunflowers in our homeland
Reply a fat Halfling, The female that shared her bread with you turns to you.
It was like they dipped their robes in honey … yes, honey like color.

As they walk and become farther away from you, they can still be heard arguing on the exact color of the human's garbs

 

[stonegod]

The Kid shrugged. "If they weren't looking, they weren't looking. I can ride up ahead if you want."

 

[Rhun]

Korbryn watches the pilgrims suspiciously until they are out of sight, and then gives a slight shrug and continues on down the road.

 

[Voadam]

Miltiades nods in farewell to the pilgrims, putting the information into place.


"Thank you Kid. Could you track these ocher garbed men if we came across signs of their presence? Moreso then the old sites of Hommlette and the overthrown temple, these men may be at the heart of what we search for currently. And only a mile ahead is the point of last contact."
