Age of Worms: Act I - The Whispering Cairn

[Majin]

Damien explained all he knew of the cairns, repeating local legend, and his reasons for thinking there might be a reason to investigate further.

As his eyes take in the contents of the bag, he nearly took a step back. There was more coin here than he had ever seen in one place, that he was sure of. Possibly more than his father made in a year. Tearing his gaze away from the coin to regard Jorun handling the stone and syringes he kept quiet. The stone may have been from the nearby mines, but he couldn't be sure. The contents of the syringes could be anything, really, so he did not feel the need to comment on those either.

“I doubt you’ll find anything Shadow, any tracks have likely been washed away by the storm,” Orin calls after Shadow as he heads outside. Not terribly impressed by the pile of coins, as he often handles large amounts of money working in Venelle’s shop, Orin concentrates on the tales Damien relates about the cairns.

When presented with the coins, Chryse thinks of a time when the existence of such a treasure was near to impossible.
These men would wander into the ancient burial chambers for treasure, leaving the Light behind. I shall be their beacon of hope as you were for me, Phoebus Apollo!
He does not make his intentions known to the others, he merely stands amongst them and listens intently.

OOC: Assume I stood up and stepped out from behind the table like the jig was up, but that I haven't said anything yet.

Deciding that the odd assortment of travelers is not going to be too interested in why exactly Samuel is at the mining office, he tries to mingle in like he's been here a while. (at least he can fool the new guy that just walked in)

You are really going to the cairns? Boyhood stories flood back to him.I am fairly good with a sling, and I've got a shortspear, and if nothing else, I'll be another pair of eyes. The cairns are bound to be full of monsters, and...stuff... He drifts off trying to remember things of the stories he remembers from his childhood.

Shadow - Rogue 1

After several minutes Shadow returns from outside and without saying a word joins the rest of the group, occasional drips of water dropping from his clothes. If anyone asks due to the rain he was unable to learn anything more about the tracks that he tumbled on upon reaching the building.

Seeing their options diminished to ashes, Chryse offers a silent prayer to Apollo for guidance in this very troublesome dilemma.
What clues have we over-looked, Loxias Apollo?

Samuel:[sblock]Listening to Damien tell of the incident from a couple of years ago, you really couldn't think of much more to add. While you know the miner managers all begrudgingly admit that Smenk has the upper hand with the profits from the mines, beyond that your facts are pretty scarce.[/sblock]

Chryse:[sblock]Calling upon Apollo's favor, you see that all four of the syringes carry an enchantment inside their contents. Three of them glow with the aura of conjuration enchantment, one glows with the aura of an abjuration enchantment.[/sblock]

 

[Saterus]

Another set of eyes could be handy where things could be so dangerous. I'm sure if we all went we would have nothing to worry about. And if we do find treasure, we would be forever remembered in the town. We should go, shouldn't we? Looks directly at Jorun for an answer, as he seems to be in charge since Samuel has been watching.

Orin Heartwood, Male Half-Elf Ranger

As Shadow comes back in from the rain Orin asks, “Hey Shadow, did you take a look in the cellar when you were in the kitchen before?”

OOC: If he receives an answer in the negative, Orin goes to take a look.

[sblock]Tricksy! > So... my Will save is 8! What is your bidding, my master? [/sblock]

"Hmmm... yes. Yes, of course. We should all go. And unless there be any objections, we should go immediately! You there, what be your name?" He points at Samuel. "You look like a friendly and helpful type. You should definitely come with us."
