BLACK CRATER

"We have news for you: none of our reputations could be much worse right now. We suggest taking these people as far as the Black Crater, where Purple Dragons and War Wizards can tend to their needs. Abandonment would weigh on what little conscience We have left.

"Plus, the War Wizard called Hawklin might take this money and jewels in return for identification of these items."

No roll necessary. A dozen people gather around the portal, and with Bear's massive strength, lift it onto the back of the wagon.

You will need to send me an Intuit Direction roll, since you are no longer on a trail. Are you leaving now, or in the morning?

Nice roll, Artemus! You have no problem tracking down and rounding up the horses...they seem glad to see you.

Dalabrac, I am not sure what we are going to do.

ooc: Matt I am a bit confused about how many of the travelers are dead, alive and missing. Could you please summarize a bit? I don't think the news will be good but....
 

"Your reputation is already assured, short stuff. You're part of the party that brought in this ancient Netherese portal to the crown of Cormyr, whom should pay us well for it.

As for the caravan, I doubt they want to continue with us as their guards, in any case--certainly given that we didn't even make it a quarter of the way to the destination without getting half of the caravan killed, including the so-called guards. I suspect that this experience has already changed them as much as it has changed some of us.

We will make some kind of monetary amends for their losses and our failures. That might preserve some of your precious reputation.

Now, lift up on that corner over there and help me get this bit of money-making magic back onto the cart.

The caravaners are looking pretty downtrodden, but happy that their captors are no more. The gnome adept Gerbo Aruvor, his wife and three children, Quario Seveniss, his wife and two children, plus Herjolf Rolf and Horsa Lenumbrar, stand huddled in the cold. Einil Gallowglar is on her knees crying and praying to Moradin Soulforger.

You count twelve of the original 42 remaining. Einil can tell you that only her husband Torg died in the first Zhentarim attack. Faraugar killed everyone else, but they think that a few people (maybe 6-10) escaped in wagons and headed west across the Stonelands.
 



"Ah, don't be so depressed, druid--you just weren't cut out to be guards, but something greater. Learn from it and move on.

Now, Quidam's got a good idea--which way is the Black Crater? You got any idea, Artemus?
" I'll take a sniff in the wind, looking up at the stars, and see if my new-old memory can provide a direction. [Will send an intuit direction roll to you, Matt.]
 

I am just assessing the situation in a straightforward way.

I am with Dalabrac, I say we sell most of the treasure and divide it among the remaining travelers. We should also ask the travelers what they want to do and then we accomodate them the best we can. I doubt they trust us though.
