[QUOTE="dungeon blaster, post: 2854632, member: 30575"] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]6 Reaping, 595 CY[/COLOR] Ehrune and Lindingar found the Land family farmstead a few miles outside of town, just as the ghost had said. At the bottom of a small bluff stood several headstones, the Land family graves. There was only problem: the graves were empty. Whoever had desecrated these graves and taken the bones had done so recently. The PCs approached the Land farmhouse, hoping to find clues. The house was in disrepair, clearly no one had lived here in a long time. Inside the house was a wounded owlbear chewing on a severed human arm. Interestingly, the arm bore a tattoo identical to the one on that half-orc, Kullen's, face. Once again, Lindingar attempted to use his wild empathy to make friends with the beast. And once again, the beast attacked him. With the owlbear defeated, the PCs searched the Land farmhouse but found nothing of interest other than the tattooed arm. Rightly believing that burying the bones next to empty graves wouldn't fulfill their half of the bargain, the two traveled back to the Whispering Cairn to grab Etherik and track down the graverobber(s). They found Etherik huddled in a corner of the stone sphere room, whimpering and feebly rocking back and forth. He was covered in deep purplish bruises, but it was his soul that truly hurt. The group was pretty sure that Kullen and his Gang were involved in the graverobbing, but couldn't agree how to best approach the situation. Directly confronting the brutish half-orc was ruled out immediately. After many minutes (real-time), they finally had a plan, which was to create several false graves just outside of town and wait for the graverobbers to come. Two days later, it was apparent that no graverobbers were coming. On to Plan B. If only there was a Plan B. The group fell again into heated discussion, with Lindingar finally remarking that this would be easy if they could just charm one of the graverobbers into revealing what was going on. Oh wait, they CAN just charm one of the graverobbers into revealing what was going on. Foreheads were liberally smacked. That night, Ehrune waited outside the Feral Dog for Kullen and his Gang to emerge. As the night wore on, various members of the Gang exited the tavern to drunkenly stumble home. The last to leave was the wiry goon, Rastophan. He looked positively smashed. Could the opportunity be any more perfect? Ehrune began tailing Rastophan, and when no one was around to see, charmed him. Hey, friend, how are ya? Not a night to walk alone and piss-drunk don't ya think? Here, I'll walk ya home. Say, by the way, remember how you told me about those bones ya dug up? No? Well, you did. So, what were you doing with those bones anyways? Gave them to a necromancer named Filge huh? He's in the Old Observatory? And on orders from Smenk too? Interesting. Well, this is where you live, so I'll be getting home. It isn't where you live? Sure it is. And just like that, they knew where to go and what to do. "Time to kick ass and take names" "we've already got the name" "you know what that means" "time to kick ass" [/QUOTE]
