Against the Storm Part II: Luskan

[DM_Matt]

OK, this is a problem....lesee....

The party's current composition makes it useless except for hacknslashing. I dont tihnk that its a good idea to reconstitute this adventure into something like that, so, there are two options (I'd like all three of you to weigh in)

1. Pause the game until the character from the reenforcement thread arrive to complete the party. they will consist of a human druid, an elven Loremaster, and a half-elf NPC Arcane Trickster. This will more or less round out the party.

2. It is conceivable that hunting down and killing the Kraken leader might attract soem attention. On the other hand, it might not (emphasis on NOT), considering that it seems to be open season on Kraken in these parts. You guys could take a detour from the normal plan to kill him and by the time you've done that, the reenforcements will have arrived.

Elone's already picked #2 as her current path anyway, so...

 

[DM_Matt]

Never mind...reenforcements will arrive shortly....

 

[reapersaurus]

thanks.
I was wondering what the status of that thread was.
Reinforcements! wheee!
oh- my option was #1

 

[DM_Matt]

Okeyday, the reenforcements are here...

You see Rana walk into Hogarth's Hall with a studious-looking elf and a slightly feral-looking human and approach you....

IC: These cities always discomforted him. The stone so unaturally shaped, the wood ripped from it's roots and carved and crafted to hold up the walls and cover the floor. Such is not the way the Earth inteded for things to be. Surely there is a reason for this madness! He follows his party wrapping himself tightly in the fur coated lining of his cloak, his necklace of teeth, bone, and beads raps lightly against his tanned skin. He silently moves behind his other companions wanting nothing more that to be free of this place and return to the wild. He follows wordlessly behind his collegues as they approach a table full of strange people. "Could these be them? We are working with those people??"

 

[dead_radish]

Elone glances at the newcomers, wondering whether they are a threat or allies. She nods approvingly at the human, but gives the elf a strange look, wondering what his story is. Her hand strays to her dagger beneath the table.

Kelnar, slim even for a grey elf, is very non descript. He is the type of elf who is forgetable. He turns to Rana..."where is our contact and who is currently in charge? Have they mapped out a plan at this point?"

Rana to origional group: "Something has come up. Got a place we can talk quietly in?"

(someone answers in the affirmative, and you go back to the room, except Alex, who is still talking to Maggie)

"We've got a problem. The day after you left, A group of vampires apparently affiliated with Shar atacked us at the tavern where we conduct business and took Jaina.

We tracked them to a ship operated by a group of pirates known as the Kraken, and determined that they were headed for a drydock operated jointly by the churches of Gond and Umberlee in Luskan. It seems that the Kraken's leader was killed by one of Shar's agents and replaced.

Irusyl has ordered us to make recovering Jaina our top priority. The other missions are secondary, altohugh we believe that she would be being held inside one of those temples. Preferably, we can still accomplish all of our goals, and possibly include some additional wonton destruction at the temple of Gond if they really have been involved in this.

I have brought reenforcements. <gestures to newcomers> I will remain hwew as well for as long as possible.

 

[GoldenEagle]

"so, what do you know of the insides of the Temple...Do any of you have any idea where they may be holding Jaina?"
