B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[Rhun]

Celythia merely stands back and smiles gently.

The man clutches his stomach as he comes to, then looks around and sees you. He sighs and says "Look, this was nothing personal. You guys defied the Veiled Society. If you don't want any more trouble, skip town."

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] LOL not an option, LOL Did the spell go off. I almost posted Rezak kicking the man, to tell him just that. [/sblock]

OOC: I'm with HolyMan in that it's not clear to me that Barek cast his Charm Person?

 

[kinem]

ooc: Barek didn't cast it. The guy is just talking, perhaps 'cause he's a bit intimidated given the situation.

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"No need to worry, we're all friends here. We all understand business is business," Barek says with a smile, extending his hand in friendship. Those sensitive to such energies may feel the subtle shift of arcane energies in between the half-orc and the would-be assassin.

OOC: Charm Person. DC 15 Will save

[sblock=Barek]The spell seemed to work.[/sblock]

The man extends his hand back. "Good to hear that."

He stands up. "Well, thanks for not taking it out on me, but I wasn't kidding. Leave town. You guys have a price on your heads - two hundred gold apiece - that's what I was after. I promise I won't attack you again, but others will.

So am I free to go?"

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"Oh, but we really need your help, friend," Barek says. "What more can you tell us about this Veiled society? Exactly what was it we did that so angered them? And where were you to meet them to collect your bounty if you had managed to kill us?"

 

[kinem]

The man looks around at the group.

"Well, I understand that he" pointing at Rezak "joined the Society then betrayed it. As for the rest of you, you fought it and foiled an assassination. I have to say though, I guess there must be more to it.

We were told that you might come poking around the docks today. That's how we found you.

You seem like a decent guy but I won't slit my own throat for you. If I tell you where the meeting is, they'll know it was me. I would skip town too, but I wouldn't get far with no money. If I had a couple hundred gold, might be I could."

"Well, I understand that he" pointing at Rezak "joined the Society then betrayed it.

Barek glares darkly at Rezak, but doesn't interrupt the continuing narrative.

"You seem like a decent guy but I won't slit my own throat for you. If I tell you where the meeting is, they'll know it was me. I would skip town too, but I wouldn't get far with no money. If I had a couple hundred gold, might be I could."

Barek pats his belt pouch. "Well, might be I came into a couple hundred gold recently, but I think maybe you can probably tell us more than just about a simple meet for that, surely? The society seems to have an awful grudge against the Torenescu clan. And then there's that unseemly business with Lucia Vorloi and those kobolds managing to wander about town unseen. Smart guy like you has to have had his ears open and heard a bit about some of that, yes?"
