I say we get out of here with the information we have. There is definitely a connection between the drugs and this place with the shop, which is what we were investigating in the first place. He looks at Veruza and then about at the other warriors. Do any of you think there might be more innocents captured here?

[sblock=OOC] Baern is ready for an escape and extended rest unless there is a hint that prisoners may be kept here against their will[/sblock]

"I agree we have learned a lot Baern, but we still don't know where the missing Jurasco agents went," Nyar quickly fills Cairn in on the group being asked to find the missing Jurasco agents who first came to investigate the 'apothecary shop'.

"Audrey, you do not look to be in good enough health to continue. Might I suggest that we escort her back to the tavern, and see if there are any brave souls who might want to help us take down this drug ring? I also think we need to inform the watch of the illegal activity and see if they can help shut down operations. Were there any other people caged up down there Cairn?"

[sblock=ooc] I'm up for a rest if we really need to, but I do think we should look for more captured people here as well. Just trying to give an IC opporunity to unload the NPC Audrey safely. [/sblock]

Let's head back to the Shard, evreyone can get refreshment. Adventurers are always there as well, and Nyar is right Audrey, you aren't up for this. From the Shard, you'll be breaking off from us, and heading back to Adar. We've run long enough, even mom and dad are gone, the masters must know something of that which chases us. Veruza drops her hood, the sadness of departing from her sister plainly visible, she wraps Audrey in a hug, come back to the Tower's Shard when you know more. the cleric wipes her eyes and breaks the hug, readdressing the party Let's come back here straight from the Shard, we'll scour the place and find any others trapped once we have reinforcement. I expect Dalvach will be back eventually, or we'll run into him later, he's not one to miss a good mystery.

If the group is going to the Shard, I'd appreciate it if you do it quickly so that we can continue. Get in, recruit, and we'll move on.

You still need to decide on an extended rest or not, and Healing Word rolls still need to be made for each PC if the group is not taking an extended rest. Baern is the only PC who is real low on healing surges, but if the group wants to continue without an extended rest, I do have a way for him to regain some.

Cairn  31/63 hits 13/13 surges
Nyar   26/33 hits 3/6 surges
Baern  22/47 hits 2/8 surges
Veruza 40/40 hits 7/8 surges

[CaBaNa]

OOC: Picking up 2?

 

[FourMonos]

OOC: Ultimately, since Baern is the one with the lowest (and quite low) healing surges, I would say its up to him if we do an extended rest. Also KarinsDad, would our current point be considered a milestone? I think two more adventurers would be good.

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: Not that Cairn would know such things, but do we have a ritual for sharing healing surges? Comrades Succor? That would alleviate the need for extended rest (which I would like to avoid since that gives bad guys time to prepare, leaders to dissapear and/or resupply alchemical items. Not to mention getting their stash somewhere safe for fresh start...

 

[KarinsDad]

OOC: The 3 PCs that went through the entire adventure so far have reached 2 milestones. Cairn and Veruza haven't yet reached one milestone (Veruza barely started the skill challenge when CaBaBa stopped posting).

 

[johnmeier1]

Baern nods Well, what are we waiting for. Quickly to the Tower's Shard and then back here before the trail is cold and this den is emptied. He stands near the cleric as he takes the short rest, hoping the prayers will help him. Perhaps I would also run into a real House Jorasco establishment and purchase some of their faster services.

[sblock=OOC] Baern is ready to go, I am up for taking some risks on healing surges if there is potential for recovering them. Perhaps House Jorasco could perform that ritual between Cairn and Baern (hey, they rhyme!) for a brief cost while Verusa takes her sister to the Shard and Nyar helps her to recruit?

Spend 1 of the last 2 healing surges and regain with bonus from healing word would put Baern at 33+xd6+y

Baern and Cairn go quickly to House Jorasco while the other three head to the tavern.

"Hello." a female halfling receptionist at the entry way says. She looks a bit apprehensively at the massively large golem-like creature. "Welcome to House Jorasco. How might we be of assistance?" she manages to blurt out, although it is apparent that she is not accustomed to golems coming into the facility.

[sblock=OOC]
Since johnmeier1 decided to continue without an extended rest, that's what we will do.

If the rest of the players could recruit quickly in the tavern, we'll be back on track shortly.
