(Adventure) The bastards of XXXXXX Bluerun

[Hof]

"You have a plan then. Very well, give us a few more minutes to prepare and we shall hear what you have in mind on our way to whatever our destination may be."
Dioran finishes his spell preparations, gets dressed quickly and follows Joseph.

A whispering voice, which sounds too much like his own for comfort, gurgles just barely into Dioran's consciousness:
Cling to the darkness he says.. yess.. Darkness itself we will become. So much better to see the foulness in men's hearts.

Joseph may notice Dioran's strange stare and unconfortable shudder just before he declares himself ready to set off.

if I am to take it that you two plan to sneak off alone, the others will get a listen check. if not, please correct.

 

[Hof]

OOC: I suppose we are indeed sneaking off, so make all the checks you want. Also I have exams in the next two weeks, so I might be somewhat slow in replying. Hope it won't hinder anyone.

Hunting Knife in sleeve, Joseph Dar'maryon nods to Dioran after the two make their way out. Joseph makes his way slowly, using whatever he can for cover. Keeping an eye open for brothels along the way, Joseph nevertheless looks back at his sorcerous companion from time to time.​

OOC: I'll edit the post if you'd rather me not have the knife. I mean for it to be purely an interrogation tool, since bearing a sword to somone throat isn't exactly a practical measure.

P.S. I'm sorry for not mentioning it, but I had exams last week.

Earlier:

The barbarian cocks her head, "You must know The Laugher, warrior Gath, for he certainly knows you." She squints and shakes her head, beads and feathers rattle and rustle at Gath's blank expression, and fishes two mugs out of her pack, "Here, drink with Rainca and she will tell you the ways of the Blood Father." Rainca does indeed spend the evening discussing meta-physics with Gath. In her own way.


Later (but before the clandestine nocturnal creepings of Joseph Dar'maryon and Dioran Uthelem):

As the evening winds down and others begin to make arrangements for rest, Rainca puts away her flute and shoulders her pack, "Rainca will sleep under the sky." She ducks through the door and finds a place where she can see the stars. She lays down in plain sight, head pillowed on her pack, staring up at the cloud-skimmed darkness. Humming and singing quietly to herself, she eventually falls asleep.


OOC: It would be easy enough to avoid her should Joseph and Dioran have noticed where she lay down. Which would also be easy enough.

Gath

The barbarian cocks her head, "You must know The Laugher, warrior Gath, for he certainly knows you." She squints and shakes her head, beads and feathers rattle and rustle at Gath's blank expression, and fishes two mugs out of her pack, "Here, drink with Rainca and she will tell you the ways of the Blood Father." Rainca does indeed spend the evening discussing meta-physics with Gath. In her own way.

Gath drinks with Rainca and listens to what she has to say but the practical half-orc doesn't really understand the deep spirituality of the young barbarian. He offers his own view of the world, thought. "Bah, Blood Father ? Laughter ? Those be Masters ? Gath want no Master. There be slave and Master. Gath still slave but want be Master soon !"

 

[Kahuna Burger]

rainca recieves some strange looks as she looks for an appropriate place under the stars, but she has grown used to that in these lands. She finds a place to the rear of the building the others are staying in and enjoys a peaceful night's rest. At one point she stirs from a dream (or perhaps does not) to see a white owl perched above her on a barrel, looking down with what seems to be an intelligent interest. As she looks back, it appears to almost nod its head at her before soundlessly taking off.

The two men slip out past the half orcs, Gath deep in a poppy sleep from the healer's draughts, and Lupic enjoying more natural dreams of self cleaning armor spikes. They make their way out of the building where they were brought, then pause knowing little of the layout of the town. (Campbell, hof:

Spoiler

I enjoy a dramatic story as much as anyone, but it would be a good idea if you let me in on your full intent at least in spoiler space in advance - I need to adjucate things like sneaking around, knowing where you are going, and any presumptions about how easy 'your' prisoners will be to get to if they are in the bluerun jail...

)

 

[Kahuna Burger]

er, normally I'm not the one waiting, but can I get some heading or plan of action? I've certainly gotten the hint, but how sneaky do you want to be, etc... I don't want to skip to the next morning, but I feel bad holding up Gath's smashing...

 

[GPEKO]

OOC (or maybe in character ... who knows ?) Gath be wounded. Gath go molo on smashing for now.

 

[Hof]

ooc: Ok, i'm not entirely sure here, as I had Dioran sort of go along for the ride, but I guess the idea is

Spoiler

to find either our captives and try a good cop / bad cop style interrogation and get all the information we can from them, or to find members of the less law abiding classes and see what they can tell us. Either way, the sneakiness is to avoid guards and the like, as well as more morally sensitive members of our own group. Campbell please correct me where i'm wrong.
