Tristan nods in agreement with the others. "I'm Tristan. It would be nice to get some more details - generally makes it easier to avoid dying." The elf adds very quietly under his breath, "Really don't want to do that again."
[Sblock=OOC]It is kind of interesting playing with 7 Rabbit with Tristan, since Rabbit and Raiyek had a few adventures together. :)[/sblock]

Gil enters along with 7 Rabbit and Illarion, I think this is everyone, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... and me... yeah. Gil nods to himself, Sir? asks the student of the master.

"Ah yes, well first, good job Gil, looks like you have chosen well... no bugbears, good mix... yes, you hold promise yet" Veruzak says, before training his attention to the shifter and kobold.

"Well you can assuage your concerns Papolstaanas, I would not plan to hire a group of skilled adventurers such as yourselves if it was a problem with common livestock. Nor do I have any desire for you to murder.... or steal, quite the contrary actually. As you may have read in the Screamer there have been a series of murders occurring there. You also noted that there was little details in the paper, we've been fairly successful at least on that front..." the eladrin states, looking off at something nobody sees.

"This is a sensitive situation and one that is too much for the local constabulary, a very complicated situation. The paper failed to make any mention of the timing of the murders, they have occurred each of the past three full moons. The bodies were found mutilated as if by animals and lupine footprints left the scenes. As you probably have surmised.... the most likely murderer is a, or group of, lycanthropes, is our best guess. Now you probably are wondering just what does this eladrin care about murders over on another island.

Well, the truth is that I believe I know the perpetrator of these crimes and I feel responsible to stop him. Unfortunately, our wonderful government has decided to prevent me from leaving the city so I cannot do it myself, so I need a group to go and complete this in my stead"
Veruzak states, then takes a moment to breath after his long-winded speech.

"An investigation... at least I won't feel out of place. I've work over ten years on the Watch of Daunton, and leaving for Bacarte will be most welcome at this moment." tells Eloan.

"By the way, I was an officer. I understand mercenaries have seldom hard time to take order, but I have more than my lot of fight in here and I am use to see the big picture in a fight, so I suggest you follow my order at first and if you are displease with them, tell me and I'll adjust or even shut my mouth."

OOC: To all players, please read the Player SBLOCK below. To DM, look at both Player and Immediate Interrupt. I hope that will help to make game go smoothly.


[SBLOCK=To Players]@.Players: When you use an Action Point:
Insigthful Presence: When any ally who can see you spends an action point to take an extra action, that ally gains +2 to all defenses until the start of his or her next turn.

@.Players: Anyone who want can use this power on initiative.
Battlefront Shift (No Action * Close Burst 3)
Target: You or one ally in the burst
Effect: The target shifts half his or her speed.

@.Players: Anyone who make a basic attack can declare he use this power. It can be use only once per encounter. First come first serve.
Overwhelming Force Trap
(Immediate Intterupt * Close Burst 3)
Target: The triggering ally
Trigger: An ally in the burst makes a melee basic attack
Effect: The target uses one of his or her melee at-will attack powers instead of making a melee basic attack. If the attack hits, the subject of the target’s attack is also dazed until the end of the target’s next turn.
[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Immediate Interrupt]
@.DM: Also, during the monster turn, Eloan might use one of these interrupt. If more than one trigger is valid at the same time, use the first in list. Please note I might change the Triggering conditions.

Powerful Warning
(Immediate Interrupt * Close Burst 5)
Target: The triggering ally in the burst
Trigger:
1) An ally is hit by an attack within 5 feet.
2) The ally is hit by less than 5 over the attacked defense.
3) The enemy that hit is not a minion
4) The ally have a good melee basic attack and is within melee reach of the attacker
OR the ally is bloodied
OR the attack stun (assuming Eloan is aware of the effect).
Effect: The target gains a +5 power bonus to all defenses against the attack. The target can make a melee basic attack against the enemy as a free action. If the target of the melee basic attack is standing next to Eloan, the ally get +1 to hit and +2 to damage.

Friendly Fire
(Immediate Reaction * Close Burst 10)
Target: The triggering enemy in the burst
Trigger:
1) An enemy misses you or an ally you can see with a melee or ranged attack.
2) The enemy that miss is not a minion
3) The enemy has a valid enemy target within 2 square of the missed ally.
4) The new target is not a minion.

Effect: The target repeats the attack as a free action against a creature you choose within 2 squares of the target of its original attack. The new target must still be legal for the attack.

Longsword of Defense (Immediate Interrupt)
Trigger:
1) Eloan takes damage from a melee attack that hits him.
2) Eloan takes 20 or more damages.
Effect: You take only half of the damage.

"It seems it is a hunt indeed. In that case, I am at your disposal, eladrin."

At Eloan's comments, Tristan answers, "Fine, as long as you know what you're doing." The elf breaks out another grin and jokingly adds, "And also as long as you're not the type to give suicide orders."
[sblock=OOC]I see Illarion and Tristan are both using teal text - is anyone bothered by that? I can find a different colour for the adventure if you guys rather we all had unique colours.[/sblock]

"Murdered? By a--by a werewolf? Who is it? And how do you know who it is?" asks Papolstaanas.

[sblock=ooc]I suppose I'd prefer it if everyone had a different color. As long as nobody's color is dark blue, which is horrible to read. But it's not a big deal.[/sblock]

"Very good, you will be quite useful indeed. I will note though that the trouble is not in Bacarte, but rather in Fulcrum on the Island of Opposition." Veruzak says

"It seems it is a hunt indeed. In that case, I am at your disposal, eladrin."

"Yes indeed, it will be a hunt. Although I must ask a favour of you all, if it is possible to subdue the murderer, that would be preferable, but if you are unable, the safety of those in Fulcrum is worth more than one person's life." the eladrin replies

[sblock=Insight DC 25] Veruzak appears to be holding something back here, the statement appears truthful, just perhaps not telling the whole story [/sblock]

"Murdered? By a--by a werewolf? Who is it? And how do you know who it is?" asks Papolstaanas.

"Yes, murdered. The facts seem to lend themselves to a member of the lycanthrope family, only occuring on full moon nghts, brutal, savage murders as if by an animal, tufts of black fur, large paw prints. Of which genus it originates, that is unknown, perhaps a werebear, wererat, or even wereboar are all possibilities, in addition to the aforementioned werewolf. As for the identity of the perpetrator, well it is but a deduction of reason that I bring this up. An old friend of mine, Vilk is his name, informed me he intended to return to his home on the Isle after retirement to settle some business of his. This was about a month before the murders began. Since then I've been unable to contact him and as his name is not on the list of deceased, and based on my inability to reach him, my supposition is that Vilk may have some involvement in said murders. As for surety? I will need your help for that" the arcanist replies.

"Fulcrum?" says Papolstaanas, sounding excited and pleased. "I know some people in Fulcrum. Only--oh dear. I hope they're all right."

"Fulcrum... He had me confused for a moment." Elaon tells, pointing Papolstaanas. "That's just as good for me. What teh backstory of Vilk?"

"What, you don't want to pay us to kill your old friend?" Tristan says with a smile and a short chuckle.
[sblock=Insight]Insight (1d20+6=8)[/sblock]
"Though if our quarry were a wereboar, would it not have left hoof prints instead of paw prints?"
[sblock=OOC]Nature for lycanthropes, righ?
Nature (1d20+8=24)

Also, I'll use this blue for the duration of the adventure so we don't get Tristan and Illarion mixed up. :)[/sblock]
