B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] Wow first time I needed to pull up my character to get some numbers in a long, long time. Which means this is a great game.

Perception +7 [/sblock]

Rezak walks over to take a look at the area Celythia was looking at. Rubbing his chin he looks lost in thought.

 

[kinem]

Rezak finds the same three-letter word rubbed into the blood as Celythia had noticed but the letters are unclear. There is a small section where the stain seems to have been rubbed away. BAD. . . , BAO. , ., RAD. . ., RAO. . . ? There is a rubbed spot that could have been the start of a fourth letter but nothing legible.

[sblock=Holyman]The dagger on the floor is near the bloodstains and also has blood on it. Looking closer, you notice a few strands of red hair dried into the blood.[/sblock]
"Strange" the watchman Larry observes. "Maybe your hobgoblins can give us some answers."

ooc: Do you want to search anywhere else before going down to see the hobgoblins' cave?

 

[HolyMan]

"Yes'em rear guard be just fine, fer us." Rezak says with a big smile.

[sblock=OOC] o.k. it's hard for Rezak not to look like he is up to something LOL, but will pull Cardioc and Celythia aside as the others follow (figuring Kynar would be one of the first and are half-orc liason the second) following sblock only if the guards are down and out of ear shot so guess ghostcat and Rhun should wait for your o.k. before reading it.[/sblock]

[sblock=Cardioc and Celythia] "Hey's der be in hare on dat dagger, reds hare. I wants a snoop alittle mures, stalls dem guards if'n I's take longs." Rezak says already starting to explore the area away from the stains. [/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Celythia nods at Rezak, and turns back to the guards. "Come along then, Constables. I shall lead you to the hobgoblins."

 

[kinem]

"All right." The watchmen follow Celythia down the ladder, back into the cellar.

You find that the hobgoblins are still as you left them, knocked out cold, bloody, but still alive.

Meanwhile, Rezak hangs back, and starts searching the area away from the stains.
[sblock=Rezak]Other than broken dishes and so on, Rezak finds two items of interest in the house. Near the cellar entrance is a ring, with a design on the face, perhaps a signet ring. A short length of bloodstained hemp rope lies in a corner.[/sblock]

 

[jkason]

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek cracks his knuckles and smiles.

"Caridoc, if you could heal one of them enough to wake them, and if everyone else could refrain from threatening them--" he winks in Kynar's direction "I'll see what I can do about making him my new best friend ..."

[sblock=OOC]Once the hobbo is awake, Barek will cast Charm Person[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

Rezak quickly hides the two items on his person before catching up to the others. Still puzzled over the unreadable letter, he makes a mental note to write them down on something.

[sblock=OOC] Will also make mental note as to where and how he found the items. Incase we can come back he can lay them out for the others.
[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Celythia stands back out of the way, so as to let her companions and the watchmen work on the hobgoblins.

 

[ghostcat]

Caridoc follows the others back down the stairs to the cellar. However, to hide the fact that Rezak is missing, he hangs back a bit, only catching them up once Rezak re-joins him.

Having been asked by Barek to heal on of the hobgoblins, Caridoc carefully examines them to see which one is the least injured. He briefly checks to make sure that Barek is ready, before casting a spell and healing some of the selected hobgoblin's wounds.

[sblock=Mechanics]Take 10 (+8=18) on heal to check hobgoblin's wounds

[kinem]

Caridoc's spell heals the least injured hobgoblin, bringing him awake, though still badly injured and hampered in his movements.

Barek casts his spell, and the hobgoblin looks straight at him. "You .. half-orc ... not hume ... You on my side, yes?"
