A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [01]

[Scotley]

Meanwhile back at the ranch...

OOC: [sblock]If possible, Keeland would cast his detect magic and examine the wagon, body, candle stubs and potion bottle shards. He would also be curious about the number and arrangement of the candles as well as any identifying marks or distinctive colors/shape of the bottles. For example might a particular maker of alchemist's fire use a distintive shape or color of bottle in the way modern bottlers of such products as crown royal, red stripe, coca cola and various perfumes do? Also, looking for makers marks or marks that might indicate the contents are flammable? [/sblock]

[sblock=Keeland's Investigation of the Wagon]Keeland's spell turns up little - faint traces of magic of an unidentified nature, probably left when Eloais' belongings were destroyed in the fire. There are three cracked bottles that likely used to contain Alchemist's Fire and no doubt contributed to the ferocity of the flames but their location and placement indicate that they belonged to Elaois himself rather than being placed for sabotage. No maker's marks on these bottles.[/sblock]

One of the mercs looks up from mending his chain shirt.

"We were having lunch and drinks - didn't see a thing. Not sure why you're all worried about the fortune teller anyway, he's . . . was . . . a bit of a wussie boy."

"Fop or not, I have been ordered to check into the fire, reguardless and orders are orders." Harnrey shrugs " thanks for your time"

He stops after a step, turs around and says, " you may want to be on your guard. news of gnolls are not the leaast bit exagerated. thest b*******are bigger then the average too."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"Thanks for the warning, friend!"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Zastoran looks expectantly at Aodhán. "Something I can do for you, my friend?"

Keeland

After poking around a bit more to no purpose, Keeland reports his meager findings to any of his companions who are not otherwise engaged just now. That done he goes to seek the wounded swordswoman he helped.

Harnrey approaches Houlou and awats for a moment when there is no one close so they can talk in privet.

Houwlou Groulenas

Intuitively realizing what Harnrey is trying to accomplish, Houwlou moves to an unoccupied spot away from most of the group, and when anyone besides Harney approaches he just snarls and bares his teeth.

Speaking low the wizard says to the bag bad wolf, "I think there may be more knowen then said amoung certain individuals, but as a group no one wants to make the waves that rocks the boat. Either that or they are the guilty party or just professional rivalfy. Not sure which."

Houwlou Groulenas

The Big, Bad Wolf* says, "Valid points, all, Sir Mage! I am glad that I have such quick-witted companions. What do you suggest that we do next? I stand ready to follow your lead, Sir!"
