That old thing? I've had that for years. A girl can't go about dressing in skimpy leather point-wear all the time.

to Alhandra

a-HAH! Just wait till I get my hands on that little scamp. Perhaps I'll use mage hand to catch one of those silly rings at the ends of her braids on a doorknob or something, then point to the other end of the room and say "Look, Lidda! A gold piece! Go geddit!"

Maybe I just won't share my cotton wads.

OOC, Alhandra: clever!

Regdar throws down Regdar's third pony keg and looks to Lidda.

Bah she's fine, just a little ale, Mialee has always been the most fun to drink with. It's amazing to Regdar just how much ale she can put back. Regdar is pleased.

Morning comes and Regdar pushes Mialee's shoulder taking a swig of ale, eyes bright to receive the morning.

Time to rise and shine Mialee, Alhandra has just come back from laying hands on Jozan so it's time for us to go kill something.

You didn't miss much Kerwyn, the party was adequate but the whore selection was rather limited.

Uh. My blasted head... Ever try to memorize some complicated spells with a hangover? I feel like I'd rather be in the abyss, lying on a dinner plate if only my head could clear up. This is horrible.

Thanks, though, Regdar.

OOC: Piratecat, I hope everything's all right with your family.

Lidda makes her presence known by stepping out of the shadows near Mialee and sneaks up behind her.

HEY! MIALEE! DO YOU WANT SOME PRIVACY SO THAT YOU CAN MEMORIZE YOUR SPELLS IN PEACE AND QUIET?

Lidda grins wickedly and runs out of the room.

Oh ok, fine... I go up the hole, what do I see? Another damn ghoul I'll bet...

Sorry, I was out for the weekend too. It looks like you all had a pretty good fight--from the looks of Mialee I'd guess you all took out a mindflayer.

On closer examination, maybe Mialee took out several...

Mialee's Mindflayer
1.5 oz brown rum
.75 oz dark rum
.75 oz light rum
.75 oz pineapple juice
.75 oz papaya juice
1 oz lime juice
splash simple syrup

Wizards always want the complicated drinks.

More and better whores. Only guy who got any action last night was Jozen.

By mid-morning, Aniel has managed to collect all the heroes and leads them, some groaning, back to the manor. It's hard to tell whether she is amused, disappointed, or appalled by last night's drunken antics. She doesn't say much.

As you walk into the manor, a small man who several of you vaguely remember from the tavern is arguing with the Mayor. "...my bar! With a chicken! Who's going to pay for that?" Then he sees Regdar and his face goes white, and he sidles out of the room as the Mayor turns to you. It's a warm morning in here; the bright sunlight shines through the open window, and flies buzz lazily across the ceiling.

"Good morning, friends. Did you have any other questions? If not, I'll leave you to it; if so, how can I help?"

-------------
OOC: Mialee et al, thanks for the kind words. Had a family funeral to go to ~ not a close relative, but you know how it is.

...Sorry about the chicken incident.

“Redgar, your jealousy is misplaced, but not surprising.” Jozan, who unlike a few of his companions looks hearty, clear-witted, and eager this morning, gives the fighter a long-suffering look.

Then he turns to the Mayor. “As I recall, there were a few questions in my mind after your reading was complete. Firstly, what do you know of this ‘secret’ NeMoren mentioned, and the ‘drastic steps’ he took concerning it?

“Secondly, as our good Dwarf here has mentioned, what was this curse he spoke of, and why did his response to it involve sealing up the family vault? Why is it only now, after his death, that the vault is safe to open?”

“And thirdly, what records exist concerning the architecture of the vault itself, especially the ‘deterrents’ placed within by NeMoren’s ancestors?”

Jozan smiles expectantly, absently fingering the image of Pelor hanging around his neck.

Regdar looks to everyone then Jozan and lets out a load and hearty laugh, clutching his sides then smacking Mialee on her back.

Ah Jozan it's good to wake to a day with humor.

Turning to the old man and yawning.

Ah come on people, this guy doesn't know, or if he did he wouldn't tell us, please this is an adventure, it's suppose to be full of misdirection and unanswered questions. The guy probably is in league with some evil cult of "He who must not be named," seeking to bring an end to the world, that of course we will uncover, come close to setting whatever free then we will narrowly defeat it, come back here and be hailed as heroes, that is until we need something then the whole village will forget we saved them from sure death and go back to charging us double price for watery ale. It's what happened last time.

Looks like Mialee, Kazak and Jozan got the more important questions covered.

I would also be most interested in your knowledge about the architecture of the vault and the security measures that have been installed there.

OOC: Please accept my condolences also, Piratecat!

*Vadania looks up holding her head, she looks toward the Mayor, carefully avoiding letting her gaze light on Alhandra or Jozan.*

Ok, I'm ready to get this adventure started. I don't have any questions. Lets go. Owwww.

Well beyond the words of encouragement from Regdar and our questions posed, what do we do now? Should we not go and take care of this situation.

AYE!

I am wondering myself what our next steps should be.

I am getting concerned that the path to glory is getting further away, not closer!

We can't exactly blunder about down in that Vault with no direction... that would be an eggregious error in strategy.

And Regdar - I would appreciate it if you wouldn't sully my reputation.
It reflects badly for one to be casting insinuations on an up-standing member of the community such as myself.

Can I help it if at the drop of a signed letter you could be hauled away to jail on a drunk and disorderly charge?

And Vadania - my healing is open to comrades in good standing, but I must say I did not "lay hands" of either kind on the good Jozan here.

So! I believe we should set our minds on the task that lay ahead!
Some of us MAY not be alive to see another sunrise...."

*Alhandra kneels down in prayer.*

"Heironeus, let it be your will that we are granted clarity of direction and sense of purpose soon.
That we are allowed the opportunity to prove our worthiness to you as citizens, men and women, and as champions of good and law!"

*Yawning*

Devis emerges from his room. His pajamas have little feet on them shaped like lutes.

"Ah," he begins, "my comerades in-arms". A recitation for you all, in honor of this, our most daring (in the libidinous sense) adventure yet!

"But first, let us take a moment to reflect on heroic comerades, fallen in days past . . ."

*Devis pauses, and removes his night-cap, placing it over his heart. His hair is in curlers*

"Ahem.

The fight was near,
glory at battle. The time was come
that doomed men should turn cold.
A cry was lifted up. The ravens whirled;
the eagle was eager for carrion. An outcry was on earth.
They let from their hands file-hard spears;
sharpened spears flew.
Bows were busy; shields caught spear-points.
Bitter was the battle; heroes fell,
on either side young men lay dead.

He spoke:

'Thought must be the stronger, heart the bolder,
courage must be the greater, as our strength lessens.'

He gazed to heaven:

‘I thank you, Ruler of hosts,
For all the joys that I attained in this world.
Now, merciful Pelor, I possess the greatest need
that you grant that which is good to my ghost,
so that my soul may journey to you,
into your control, Lord of Light,
go with peace. I entreat with you
that devils may not injure it.’

Then a heathen monster hacked him,
and both the heroes that stood by him,
until both lay dead,
they who gave their life beside their kin.

Here lies our elder all hewed,
the good man, on sand. A kinsman thinks
to lament who now turns from war-play.
‘I am old of life; from here I will not go,
but I think to lie myself down
beside my lord, by so dear a man.’
----------

*sniff* It's a sad one, really. (pauses) So what's for breakfast?

(whispering) "Ha, ha, quite right, my dear -- but don't bring 'mankind'into this -- your confession was far too specific."

"And if our companions," Devis says loudly with a sweep of his manicured hand, "think I'm likely to be indiscreet, well, they are barking up the wrong chicken before her eggs are hatched! So worry not."

*Devis winks at Hennet* "Looking good this morning, Hen. You polished your buckles last night, I see.

Ahem,

There was once an explorer called Burke
Whose buckles fade in dungeon's murk
So he said to his band:
'Men, raise your right hand'...
And it shone — many hands make light work!"
