CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

[Lord_Raven88]

Lounging in bed after a late night Jebediah orders food to be brought up for Thomas and himself, as Thomas leaves the room he draws Jebediah's attention to the Symbols on the door, walking over to the door Jebediah examines the door and smiles "It seems we've struck a nerve old friend, things are beginning to take shape nicely" running his hand over his bald pate "Be a good chap and clean this up for me, we don't won't to spook anyone after all"

Watching as Thomas leaves Jebediah closes and locks the doors, and waits for Thomas to return, and will only the door once Thomas has knocked in the prescribed manner, sitting down in an armchair Jebediah follows his normal daily regimen of exercise and meditation.

OOC: Lets assume that Jebediah wakes at dawn and lets the two guardsmen back out the window and asks them to relate to Lord Burne his desire to meet with them at 12:00 PM, he then rests in bed until about 8:00 when he sends Thomas down to fetch food for them both.

Jinx, having spent a fretful night in his room, wakes feeling not at all rested. Ignoring the sleeping Bauble, who is curled at the foot of the bed and seems delightedly content and who is completely oblivious to the world, Jinx rubs tiredly at his eyes and sits up in bed with a frown. Blinking sleep and dreams from his head, Jinx extracts his spellbook from underneath his pillow and sits down to complete his daily study of magic. Having refreshed himself on the ins and outs of how precisely to hold the scrap of leather to successfully cast mage armor and still confounded by how exactly to weave the symbol and utter the correct incantation for scorching ray, Jinx settles down the familiar routine of mumbling over his spellcraft and then ordering his belongings according to the day's plan.

Jinx prepares (0-lvl) detect magic, detect magic, light, disrupt undead, and (1-lvl)mage armor, ray of enfeeblement, and grease.

His studies complete, Jinx dons his gear then prods the sleeping cat with a wizened finger. "Wake up, you dreaded ill-mannered inconsiderate beast!" Bauble rises from his coiled sleeping position at the end of the bed, arches his back to stretch, then pleasantly rubs against Jinx's hand in a friendly good morning. Jinx, astonished, regards the cat in quiet disbelief before grumbling, "Why, you fickle thing!" Grabbing Bauble and stuffing the cat unceremoniously into its riding pocket, Jinx quits his room, locks up if possible, then forays downstairs to the common room for tea and rolls.

Joining the others at the breakfast table and quickly downing hot tea, Jinx is quiet until the morning's beverage works its own effect. "G'morn to you, Deren. And to you, Priest." Jinx nods at Aeron, Zirat, and Sir Merrick. "What of our Lordling friend?"

 

[Rhun]

Ostler Gundigoot approaches your group, bringing another flagon of ale and platter of freshly baked and buttered rolls. " 'Scuse me gents, but I was asked to relay a message to you. Your companion Gor, he left early this morning afore you all woke. Said somethin' about going his own way and seeking out some kin. He asked me to express his apologies for leaving you under the current circumstances."

 

[Dog Moon]

"Good morning," Deren greets Jinx. He pauses to listen to the Gnome's question and shrugs. "I haven't seen him this morning. Must be doing something in his room, preparing for intruders maybe," he suggests without any real basis for that simple theory.

He turns as the Ostler approaches. "Odd," he says when the Ostler finishes. Deren waits until the Ostler leaves them before adding: "We've only made one foray into the moathouse and he already leaves. I wonder if that's something we should be worried about..."

Zirat

I have a feeling we'll meet Gor in the future … with elemental robes
He takes a swig from the mug and a bite from the bacon
So … when are we going leave?
he looks around
and where is Jebediah?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Jinx absorbs the news of Gor's having left in silence. Decided better of this folly, then, did he? Can't blame him there--likely be the death of one of us. Jinx starts at Zirat's suggestion that Gor abandoned the cause in favor of a more powerful alliance with the bandits. Can't say as it weren't tempting for there must surely be manifold secrets to delve underneath that ruin of a moathouse and whoever's down there is likely well-entrenched and comfortable, but seeing how we bested the bandits yesterday, I'm inclined to favor my position with this group. Hate to cross the gladiator on the wrong side of the sword. Jinx visibly shakes his head no. No, best to stay the course.

Rising from the table, Jinx chews the last of his breakfast then says, "I'm for making a quick purchase of some climbing gear and then heading out to have a word with our captives. Deren, Sir Priest?" Jinx looks around at the others to see who is willing to come along.

Jinx wants to purchase a grappling hook, 50 feet of silk rope, a small-sized light crossbow, and 10 bolts to match.

 

[Dichotomy]

Aeron turns to Jinx. "I'd like to accompany you. Perhaps you can tell me how you surmised so much about the structure."

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Bluff +1. Jinx will attempt to affect grandiosity.

Jinx eyes the priest with no small amount of caution. The gnome's hands spread wide in a gesture of exaggerated learnedness. "In the Free City, there exist buildings of all ages, some built to withstand the trials of war and the ravages of time. The examples that still stand bear the marks of grace and perseverance; one has only to walk their length and breadth and to touch their course to understand the ways that things are built."

Jinx pauses then adds at the last, "But me sire and mam owned a brewery in the westerlands, and an old one at that. I liked to watch the cogs in the gears turn as they ground the harvest to a pulpy mash. Some of the old brewery's foundation brickwork could be seen down in the cellar near the mill. The way the walls on the moathouse were crumbled to inward ruin in places spoke to me that someone or something had used a trebuchet to launch boulders at the place from a distance. That, and with the moat to protect it, firing from a distance would be nearly the only way to bring a building like that down. Since there wasn't overmuch vegetation growing inside the moathouse, whatever besiegement it suffered couldn't have happened all that long ago."

Zirat

Earthquake, mud holes?
Zirat suggests to Jinx, takes one last bite and leans back on the chair sated.
I fought in some weird conditions, the variety of arenas across the land and the ideas of the designers that developed them is quite creative.
he daydreams and scratch his head
mud arena … that was fun.

 

[Dog Moon]

"Fighting in the mud? I can think of better forms of entertainment than watching large, hairy men fighting in mud," Deren mutters under his breath.

In a louder voice, Deren says to Jinx, "Sure I'll go with you. Would give me something to do at any rate."
