Alessin Greenbond Alessin frowns in concern as Bertram relates the drastic reduction in Orlane's population. He replies, "That is certainly strange. You say there has been no reason given for their departure? Crops failing? Crime rates rising? Nothing like that?" [/color] "Do not fear for the...

Jebbo strolls over to take a closer look at the well. He sees that is has about 10 feet of rope dangling into it, though the water is more than 30 feet down and looks brackish. More alarmingly, lying next to the well is the body of someone who looks to have been devoured by a rather large...

The party agrees to split up and try to enter the monastery from two directions. Jebbo and Cyryn move off to the right side where the wall has collapsed, while Jared, Hakkara, and Loricallior proceed through the riuned front doors. Jebbo and Cyryn find that the wall has collapsed in such a way...

I'll post Alessin's reply to the barkeep's comments later, but I thought I'd hold up just a bit to allow the others to jump in with dialogue of their own.

Droban Ironthane, 7/13 hp Droban wipes a sweaty palm across his brow as he stands waiting. Feeling somewhat at a loss for words, he listens to the others converse. He fidgets a bit, half hoping some more fanatical thugs would attack so he could offer a service more useful.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm enjoying the game a lot, Insight. If you have lost any of the other players, I'm confident there are others out there who would be interested in joining up.

Alessin casts a sour glance at the locals as they turn from the bar. Surely I'm not that dirty from the dust of the road? "Ah, too bad. He is a capital fellow." Alessin does not chuckle in return. "Not wine, but something more serious, I'm afraid. We came across a pair of careworn children in...

Loricallior doesn't hear anything else.

Rolzup posted today, too.

ooc: Well, so much for any party damage! Everyone is now at full strength! hero4hire, thanks for noting the casting of those two spells on Jared's sheet. Jared's goddess again faithfully answers his prayers, and soon his companions are hale and hearty once more. Cyryn awakes as though from a...

Droban scratches at his tightly braided beard, considering. "I don't know about all this talk of 'providence' and gods and such..." "...but that is an idea I can get behind!" the dwarf concludes with a grim smile. He waits impatiently for the guard to return, wanting to know more about what's...

I just wanted to say, especially to Necro_Kinder, that Droban will need to work through some personal racial prejudices in order to co-exist with the half-orc Dirk. I'll role-play as such, but I just wanted to reassure everybody that any tensions between the characters will be only in-character...

Droban Ironthane , 7/13 hp Droban trudges behind the priest slowly, burdened by Isphet's body and his own wound. The dwarf looks slightly embarrassed for not having noticed the beggar's ruse earlier, and shakes his head sheepishly as a result. Droban looks a bit alarmed at the guard's...

Everything looks safe to Hakkara's wary eye.

It is clear that the party is in no shape to enter the ruined monastery this night. With the possibility of further dangers prowling around the hillside, the group agrees to retreat to the relative safety of the treeline, and rest until morning. Jared and Hakkara manage to cobble together a...
