Classic 3.0

[kirinke]

Aenilan rummages around her backpack and finds one of the healing salves. She applies some of it to the lump on her head. The effects are immediate and the two dwarves resolve into one. She then cleans her scratch carefully and applies the salve. Then she goes, picks up her weapons and cleans both her sword and dagger, then inspects her bow for damage. Finding none, she stows it in her belongings.

"We should get moving as soon as possible, this rucus is bound to attract attention." Aenilan's face softened as she saw the princess' roll up in a ball, shaking slightly under her covers. "Ah hells."

She sat by the girl. "Lass, I know you've been through a short slice of hell these past few weeks. But you must understand, this isn't your fault. None of it is. Nor is it our fault. As my uncle once said, we must deal the hand we've been given, to the best of our ability."

She got up wearily. "We have to get rid of the bodies, before they start to smell." she said to the others "and while we do, we can see if we can figure out who they work for."


OOC:
(out of the princess' sight, we could also loot said bodies as we bury them)

(hay, guys, the sites back up. ^)^. yay!)

Jonathon watched the interaction with the princess silently, shaking his head when it was through. While he didn't like violence, he knew that many a time it was necesary, and those who didn't understand that.. especially one so young.. should not be out in the world. The sooner they got her back to her sheltered life, the better. Sighing, he replaced all his belongings carefully and then walked up to lay a hand on Aenilan's shoulder.

"Leave the girl be. Lets.. tidy up the place a bit and set watch if we're going to finish out the night here." Jonathon says then goes to pick up one of the orcs and start dragging it away from the group.

Aenilan nods and goes help Johnathan start clearing out the bodies and searching them to see if they can find A: loot, B: some sort of tatoo/scrolls/anything that might link them to who employees them if possible.

Wincing inwardly, Brechin nods slowly at Jonathon and rises to his feet.

He saw the elf maiden moving the bodies from the barn and grabbing a tentacle in each hand, started dragging a displacer beast from the site.

 

[kirinke]

Aenilan finishes dumping the cats far enough away from the barn so the scavangers can have a good time without wanting to venture too close to their resting place. She returns and helps Johnathan with the orcs, wondering what they were going to do with the big lump of former ogre. she checks the creatures out for any identifying symbols or tatooes, preparing to mark them down on whatever scraps of paper she may have for later identification. She also riffles through their dead enemies belongings looking for choice items (she will share equally with the others). (like the girl said, they are mercenaries and these guys might have stuff they may need later)

Pitching in with the others, Veitus searches the bodies as best he can before dragging the smelly orcs out of the barn.

~The Maker's soil will not be tarnished by placing them in it...let the scavengers come and pick the bones clean...~

 

[Mithreander]

Having dragged the bodies out of the barn and away from their resting spot, the companions find a host of interesting items when they finally search them: an amulet of a scarab in gold, a necklace of gold with a string of rubies on it, a pair of baracers that were in the ogres pouch, 150 platinum coins and a scroll case with a letter in it.

The letter is in a foriegn language, but the dwarven rogue recognises the language as orckish and reads it to the others:

Grentich,

You need to cover the eastern road. It is up to you to cover that area. I have given you four patrols for this area, make sure that each of the leaders of that group have a copy of this letter. You know what you are looking for.

Patrol Leaders: She may be in desguise, so look closely at EVERYONE! If you have ANY suspisions, capture the individual and send them back to me for varification.

To whom it may concern: If you are not the leader of this patrol and have found this scroll, then I'll assume that you have over powered the patrol. Good job, you have just earned my wrath. Oh, and if you have the Princess, let it be known that I WILL find her and get her back. Good luck.

After reading the scroll to the others, the words on the scroll light into flame and burn off the page in a red glow! The letter itself is fine, but the letters are gone leaving the scroll blank.

 

[Verbatim]

As the words disappear from his sight, Veitus felt a cold chill run down his spine as he looked to the others.

"Well, if there was any doubt that the enemy knows the princess is abroad, it has passed. I suggest that we leave soon, as the magic that cleared this scroll could very well alert who penned it that it has been seen."

Pointing to the items placed at their feet, Veitus wished that his instructors were here to cast their spells of identification to divine what secrets, if any were placed within them.

"While I do not know if any of these items are more than they appear, they could come in handy to turn the eyes of a guard whose family is struggling to make ends meet. I recommend we carry them with us in our packs until we can find someone to take a closer look at them."
