CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Scotley]

Verdis

Verdis looks around for other potintial ambushers.

 

[Rhun]

There doesn't appear to be any other threats that Verdis can see, other than the oppressive feeling hanging over the whole area. Of course, his imagination runs wild at thoughts of what could be lurking in the mist and rain beyond his vision...

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

The warlock trains his crossbow on the lurking half-orc for lack of a better target. Wispering softly to his closest companions, "Anybody see more of them?"

 

[Rhun]

Ragnok shakes his head at Verdis' comment. The dwarf appears ready to charge into the bushes and stike this half-orc skulker down.

 

[Manzanita]

Two axe shifts, stands and turns. There's nothing more to see from this angle. Suddenly he sees several figures looking at him. Could these be bandits? He crouches and hefts his axe. "Identify youselves!" he shouts in common.

 

[Rhun]

The stout dwarf raises his axe in a threatening gesture, and replies in the common tongue. "We'll be asking the questions here, orc! What is your purpose here?"

 

[Manzanita]

Two axe realizes he's outnumbered. He'd certainly like to live. "I've got 20 men hidden in these wood with bows. Be careful." he warns the dwarf. Bluff check 15-1=14.

"I'm called Two Axe. And I'm no orc. I'm half-human! I've been hired by merchants in Dyvers to rid this area of bandits. If you're bandits, then I'm here to tell you your gig is up. I'll be generous and let you leave now. But if you stick around, you'll find this is a safe hiding place no more!"

 

[Boddynock]

Coraine raises one eyebrow in disbelief.

Stepping forward, he risks opening his senses to the moral environment. Although the emanations of evil from the Temple inflame his soul like sunburn on exposed skin, he narrows his focus to concentrate on the half-orc before them.

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“What you will find here are no bandits. They are worse... And if you speak the truth, we are no enemies at least.”

 

[Manzanita]

“What you will find here are no bandits. They are worse... And if you speak the truth, we are no enemies at least.”

"No bandits, you say?" asks Two Axe sceptically. "I have on reliable sources that there's all sorts of troubles centered on this place, and that its connected to the bandit activity which has so troubled my employer." He pauses and steps forward. He's felt the evil here himself, though hasn't known what to make of it. He knows nothing of local greyhawk history.

"If not bandits, what is going on around here?"
