Kulan: Bard's Gate PbP Campaign (IC) [Game Cancelled]

[Knightfall]

Later, when Durst overdoses on the blue liquor, Sarten goes over and tries to see if the man is breathing properly. "Borya, perhaps he could use your help."

Jagr watches the newcomers with some interest. He even enjoys the Kenku's performance and thinks to himself, I would not mind having such a bird in a cage for amusement. At the arrival of the Blue Torment Jagr shakes his head, foolish, but it is not my place to interfere. When his host hits the floor that is a different matter. He has been a good host and advised him well.

Jagr rises and strides to the bar, but Sarten arrives first. The big cat stalks across the room and speaks in a surprisingly cultured and educated voice. "I know this liquor, Blue Torment, it is dangerously potent. I watched an Aujiran noble drink himself to death one night, not realizing the danger. I would help if I can. Durst has shown me hospitality." He pulls out a healer's bag and offers up some smelling salts.

"Do you know anything else about it? What's in it?" Camson asks.

"excuse me friends, I have an obligation to perform"

He head's over to the fallen nobleman only to run into the cat man already investigating the nobleman.

"What happened?"

With Borya and Jagr's help, Sarten determines that the liquor seems to have a poisoning effect on humanoids. Durst is alive but unconscious. He will likely be fine as long as he doesn't drink any more of the liquor. He'll need some rest to purge the liquid from his body. Why it didn't hurt the others is a mystery.

OOC: Sarten's was the first heal check (22) and he gains two +2 aid another's from Jagr and Borya. So, the total is 26.

"get the man on the table." Borya says. "get me some pillows."

[oos putting the man in the shock position as a temporary measure]

"Who could have done this?"

 

[Scotley]

Jagr stoppers the bottle and puts it in his bag for safety sake. "I do not believe that it was a poisoning in the classic sense, but instead that this liquor is very potent and contains dangerous substances by design. It is very dangerous. I am trying to remember what I've heard is in it..."

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I may be able to hold my liquer, but that stuff is rather potent. I am stopping at one out of concern. I will never willingly drink it again. I hope he yet lives."

Shrough pulls out a vial and offers it to the . . .cat-person.

"This is anti-toxin, I think it might help" *Give vial of anti-toxin to cat-man-thing*

+5 alchemical bonus on Fortitude saving throws against poison for 1 hour.

"I hope he lives as well, I've finally found a suitable place to drink and do not wish to begin that search anew."

 

[Knightfall]

"get the man on the table." Borya says. "get me some pillows."

[ooc putting the man in the shock position as a temporary measure]

Several of the patrons come to Durst's aid. The big dragonborn named Dongar picks the man up carefully and puts him down on one of the tables. Aileen sends the stableboys upstairs to fetch pillows. She won't leave Durst's side. Soon there are half a dozen pillows on the table, being arranged by the patrons.

"Who could have done this?"

Jagr stoppers the bottle and puts it in his bag for safety sake. "I do not believe that it was a poisoning in the classic sense, but instead that this liquor is very potent and contains dangerous substances by design. It is very dangerous. I am trying to remember what I've heard is in it..."

"Even so," replies Camson. "An incident report must be filed with the watch. If there is any more of this drink in Bard's Gate, a public notice must be posted about it."

"I may be able to hold my liquer, but that stuff is rather potent. I am stopping at one out of concern. I will never willingly drink it again. I hope he yet lives."

Shrough pulls out a vial and offers it to the . . .cat-person.

"This is anti-toxin, I think it might help" *Give vial of anti-toxin to cat-man-thing*

Jagr knows that the poison will likely work its way out of Durst's body by the morning, but the antitoxin could be helpful. At the very least, he's certain it won't hurt the innkeeper. He pours it down the man's throat. Durst gurgles as his body instinctively swallows. His breathing quickly improves and color returns to his checks. Soon the man is snoring loudly.

"Well, that's a good sign," Aileen sighs.

"Ur, more drink," Durst mumbles in his sleep then farts.

Half the room laughs while others shake their heads in disbelief. Dongar shakes Sarten's hand and slaps Borya on the back.

"We har very grateful to yous," the big dragon-man's says to Shrough. His accent is not local.

(Shrough can tell immediately that Dongar is likely from Yhimir or somewhere else around the western half of the Horse Lands.)

 

[Trogdor1992]

"So, he lives"

 

[Scott DeWar]

Shrough puts his hand out and shrugs, "My name is Shrough. I didn't know what was going on and I kind like this place and people. Couldn't let a good person go, especially like that.

What is your name?"

 

[Knightfall]

"What's all this now?" a large dwarf asks at the door to the inn. He is dressed in the style of the Market Watch.

"Sergeant Longmantle," Camson says. "It's good your here. Durst was poisoned by a drink that he procured from a foreigner. This rakasta here can tell you about the drink. He's encountered it before."

"This nice kobold and his friends helped heal him," Aileen says. She turns to Sarten, "Thank you, um, I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

"Aye," Dongar says. "And hisss potion helped as well." Dongar slaps Shrough on the back. "Good alfi man!"

"Hmm, let me see that bottle," the sergeant asks.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I drank a shot of that," Shrough mentions to the dwarf, "It definitely will slap you upside your head. Not to be taken lightly."
