The Cursed Ones

[Calim]

You have come to the Green Lake tavern tonite in WaterDeep because you either did not want to cook for yourself or were just tired of setting at home with nothing much to do or just to watch the people come and go.

You have seen each other since arriving but whether or not you know each other is up to you.

You all notice him walk in, it is almost cliched but he is an older gentleman who walks up to the bartender and whispers into ear and then turns around to address the bar full of patrons.

"My name Fez Flinktersnoot, I am in need of bodyguards to guide me on my way to the town of Homeglen."

 

[shaff]

"bodygaurds eh? Whats the pay?"

OOC: what race is he? im guessing human since u said gentleman, but just making sure. Also can we have a description of him?

Justiel

The Astral Deva has been sitting by himself nursing a gingerale. He stands up and his wings knock over a chair to his side. The Deva is tall and well built with light blue skin and white hair and eyes. his large wings have white feathers. He is very much out of place in a tavern but the locals have come to accept him and not ask questions.
Justiel actualy laughed when one of the "rednecks" in the bar played darts with him and said afterwards "Heck.. He's a nice guy and considering what he is ain't all holier than thou."

But that was the past and Justiel had to think about moving on. He looked at the Gnome and sayed "I am Justiel of Graymorning, It you are true and good I will acompany you.

OOC: Detect Evil.

Caralaire sits in the back of the bar opposite the front door so that she can see who enters. She has been watching the Astral Deva thinking of how great it would be to have his wings and be able to fly with her hawk Lyektas. When the gnome arrives, she remains seated and watches who responds to his call for bodyguards.

OOC: I have created a thread in the Rogues Gallery if anyone wants to put there Character sheet in it. Here is the link …. The Cursed Ones – Characters.
Calim, I need your ruling on the Ring of Animal Friendship that I have. The d12 HD it gives me for additional animals, is that effect temporary or not? The description of the ring is not clear on that.

 

[Calim]

You each have a menu and with the mention of the Gnome's you seem to remember seeing it somewhere before, possibly in your menu'. Then you realize it is the name of the most expensive ale and wine listed.

Justiel you get a warm feeling of assurance that all is well with this one.

You see him while waiting for others to say they accept or question that he looks at the Bar keep and makes twinkle fingers and in through the door walks an almost 8 foot tall minotaur who has to turn his head so as to not catch his horns upon the entry way. In his hands he carries a silver barrel with a Gnomish mark upon it. He sits it at the gnomes feet and then fades away into bubbles and then nothing.

"The price depends on how many go, 2000 gold for the group just for escorting me and 500 gold per encounter for the group you defend me from."

Mirnx

In the far back corrner, Mirnx sits drinking something from a steaming mug. His eyes glare deep red as he watches those asspembling around his surface brother. 'A man who needs protecting..... hmmm I believe this may get bloody.' He thinks to himself. He sips at his mug a little longer before slipping out of the darkness. He winses as he enters the more well lit area, and shambles in his flowing red robes up to the gnome. In a raspy voice whispered to the mage but loud enough to hear, "Show me your world my distant brother, so I may see what things bleed like under the sun."

 

[Serpenteye]

Seres studied the wizard surreptitiously over a glass of brandy. Money is always welcome, but the profits must be weighted against the risks. There is much yet to know of this gnome.

ooc: Detect Thoughts, Detect Magic.

Rising, with his glass still in hand, he walks towards the bar. "Enlighten me, good sir, of the reason why you are in need of guarding. You seem to be a most capable person, certainly the magics of teleportation are not far from your reach and if they are you are surely powerful enough to fly to your destination, in your own form or another. Forgive my speculation, but I suspect the matter is more complicated than you let on. Is it perhaps assassins you seek? If so, then maybe our payment should be negotiated."

ooc: Diplomacy: 16. Sense Motive: 4

 

[Calim]

"Quite right, I am capable of quite a bit but I hate wasting magics like that and really all I want is the company. But also we will be traveling very close to the Dragon Mountains as you may well know and I would be hard pressed if I were not able to talk my way out of something there. And also I am taking some of my finest vintage to Homeglen as a gift and I would also hope that you maybe willing to help with the carts. But really I am just looking for company of someone other then my illusions."

To whoever speaks up Fez will grab a clean mug off the bar and pour it full and hand it to the first through last person who talks to him while he relays the above. As he finishes talking he will grab a mug for himself then gesture as if to toast "Good dealings." He up ends the mug and smiles. For anyone who drinks will notice they feel more refreshed and wide eyed and more ready to take on the world. Very surprisingly good and for those who have looked at the menu now know how he can charge so much.

Seres you seem to hit a wall on the thoughts, but you start the deection of magic and realize that you may soon be blinded if you continue to look at him. And he seems to be totally genuine.

 

[shaff]

Maur does not get up, he stays in his corner table and accepts the liquor. He drinks it down while taking a bite or 2 of his toasted honey bread with butter, and finds that he likes it VERY much.

"Good sir, i will accept this mission, someone who has an ale as good as this must not be too bad of a man. I will protect you as well as my body will allow, especially if there will be more of this drink."

 

[Serpenteye]

Seres blinks, momentarily blinded by the gnomes aura, and stops concentrating on the detect magic while looking at him. "Ah, I see this is a worthy cause indeed. The defense of that brew is certainly worth some effort. Besides, it might be nice to travel once again, the city of splendours is proving too expensive for my tastes and it's been weeks since last I killed. "
