A Paid Trip to Spellhold [D&D 4e]

[On Puget Sound]

Seeing that no one else has picked it up, Chizz ties the headband around his brow. Then he picks up the remaining magical gear and the coins.

Asterion, will you store this booty until we reach shore again? You must have a locked box in your forge where it will be safe, and the crew know you well enough to trust you.

He then sets about ordering repairs and resuming course toward Spellhold prison, not having any instructions to the contrary.

 

[DistractingFlare]

"Yes, yes," nods Asterion. He takes the remaining equipment and places it in one of the holding crates in his forge. He then goes abovedeck to begin the voyage to Spellhold. He rallies the former slaves together, asking them to row quickly for the men who freed them from the dread Kumar.

Kaedyn clears his throat and says to Chizz, "Actually I wanted that, but I was waiting to see for sure that Taran and Cliff were going to pass on the headband. But if it is better around your head, I will not argue the issue."

He takes a healing potion before it and the rest of the gear is stowed. Then the fighter accompanies and assists the minotaur in the task of getting the ship underway again. He tries to strike up conversation, "So, those are items from your master that you have recovered. Do you mind if I ask what happened?"

[sblock=OOC]Yeah, I was waiting a week RL on Taran and Cliff, to find things had passed me by today.

Updated my Sheet as well.

Under these rules I am not sure what skills come into play for seamanship or navigation. But I suppose Kaedyn does have some skills or he would have been working on the pirate ship in the first place.[/sblock]

You take it, Kaedyn. When I wear it, colors seem brighter and noises unnaturally loud. If I'm to walk around with a hangover, I at least deserve to get drunk first.

Kaedyn replies to Chizz, "If you are sure, then I will accept."

<<Still have a conversation hook for Asterion in my previous post.>>

[sblock=OOC]If that's best for the group. This will give a Kaedyn a +3->+4 compared to Chizz's +9->+10. I updated my sheet. [/sblock]__________________________

Kaedyn Thorngood Char Sheet

Asterion looks at Kaedyn with the glimmer of sadness in his eyes.

"He died," is all Asterion can think to say. He looks at the round shield - the beautiful carvings etched into its face. He looks lovingly at the hammer's head - a smooth anvil - an anvil on which he could forge the world.

"I know not how or why, but I expect it was the captain's doing. Boulder was a good man - a slave, like me - and he quietly abided their violence, never raising his voice. He prepared this armor for a day when he might strike back at them. He never used it."

Asterion tries to think of more to say, but seems unready to communicate more.

[sblock=ooc VV]I didn't want to make up too much Boulder stuff without asking you. What else does Asterion know about what happened?[/sblock]

 

[Voda Vosa]

OOC: Not much more, however Cliff might have a hint. I believe Asterion might suspect that for an IC post long back, before the fight started.

As Cliff enter Kumar cabin, he stop and overhear Kaedyn and Asterion. "Boulder was assassinated by Kumar. I think he was both after the chip command and this disc. I do not know why he was after, neither why Boulder was keeping it, but I'll try to find out."

Cliff then enter the cabin and starts to search it for any notes left by Boulder or Kumar. He then sits down and inspect by himself the disc, wondering what is it true nature.

[DistractingFlare]

This confirmation from Cliff startles Asterion.

"How do you know this, friend? What is that disc? Please -" Asterion's voice chokes for a moment. "Please tell me when you find out. It would mean everything to me."

 

[Velmont]

"It is complicated..." replies Cliff. "Come in, I'll try to explain."

He then head into Kumar's cabin, starting his search. "Since as long as I remember, I have dreams... at least, it what at first I thought it was. All those dreams had one thing in common. I died. Each time I died, and it times, it was a violent death. And when I grew older, I started to have those dream even when I was awake. They were so real..."

Cliff starts to look in each drawer, under the bed, anywhere to find some notes left by Kumar or Boulder. "And then I travel to Athkatla and I start to understood. Those dreams wasn't dreams but memories. I don't know if they are previous life I had or simply I carry the memory of others... the only thing I'm sure it is they are memories and that gift was given to me by Ilmather."

Cliff pause a moment and look at the minotaur. "I had twice some memories of Boulder. My second memory I had, I saw you in your forge, younger, while Boulder was teaching you. In those memories, I am Boulder, as I always am the one who had that memory. I was proud of of you, you were learning well. The first happen here, I was standing where you were, and I was holding a scroll, but it was shedding the same light." as he tell those word, he tries to visualize the scroll again, trying to hope he could rmember what was written on it. "Someone was sneaking on me. I hadn't the time to react to save my life, by I saw my murderer. It was Kumar."

Cliff sits down and stare a moment at the disc. "Now, I need to find out what is that disc. Ilmather haven't given me these memories for nothing, he wanted to be sure I could put my hand on that item, he wanted to be sure"

Cliff eyes then fall on the book hold by Asterion. "This is Boulder journal, right? Can I take a look at it?"
