CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

[CanadienneBacon]

Jinx trundles out of bed, his shock of white hair standing at attention. Rubbing at tired eyes and yawning, Jinx blinks at the sound of Ostler's voice yelling out loud in the hallway beyond his door. Quickly gathering his belongings but leaving Bauble to sleep at the foot of his bed, Jinx pulls his robes close to ward off the cold of the night air, then briskly walks downstairs to the tap room to join the others. Elmo's state elicits a gasp from Jinx. "Where's Aeron? We'll be wanting his services, right ruddy enough." Walking over to the bar to have a better look at Elmo, Jinx leans in close and frowns. "Lord Krane? Was he alive when last you saw him?" With a sinking feeling, Jinx realizes that the very bandits the group declined to pursue may have been the ones to capture Jebediah.

As Shoon joins the others downstairs he finds himself blinking rapidly both the clear the sleep from his eyes and the confusion from his mind. He finds little success with the latter and so decides that asking a question or two might help. The first one that comes to mind is; "Hungh?" which he seems to think is perfectly reasonable until he realizes that it does not actually make any sense. He quickly follows up by muttering; "Lord Krane?" in a bewildered voice.

 

[Dichotomy]

Aeron, quite blearly, and badly needing more sleep, first turns to Ostler. "Goodsir, I must have more coffee, tea, water..." As he speaks, he weakly walks toward Elmo. He gives the man a quick once-over to assess his wounds, and then gives a quick prayer to Pelor. "If only I could do that for myself. Damnedable drink..."

Though obviously uncollected and out of sorts, and quite frankly looking like warmed-over death, the cleric still has some of his senses. "Ciaran, Lord Krane is a friend and has recently, in fact, rode in to save us in the heat of battle. I understand if some of you that do not know him as well do not want to stop, but I feel compelled to aid." Aeron obviously has more thoughts on the subject, but he stops and puts a hand to his head with a groan.

[Rhun]

Elmo thanks Aeron as the cleric says a prayer to help restore the young man's body to health. He then addresses some of your concerns.

"Yes, Lord Krane an' his manservant was alive last I saw 'em. He 'ad wanted t' investigate one o' the outlying farms where a raid 'ad occurred, t' see signs o' this "cult."" Elmo sighs and takes another pull from his mug. "I tried t' fight, but I only 'ad me dagger. There was a dozen of 'em, at least. Came at us out o' the dark as we was leaving."

 

[CanadienneBacon]

"What direction did they make off with Lord Krane, did you see?" Jinx shoots a worried look at Aeron, concerned for the priest's condition.

 

[Rhun]

Elmo scratches his head. "Well, if I was t' guess, I'd say they was headin' t' Nulb. But rumor says the Temple lies near there."

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Seeing Elmo scratch his head makes Jinx feel jittery. Reaching up on impulse to scratch behind his own ear, Jinx turns to Aeron. "Mayhap we can kill two birds with one stone. Head north toward Nulb back to the temple, an' try our luck ter rescue Krane along the way? Truth be told, I'm fer getting back to the temple as quick as we can, but neither would I abandon Jebediah. Not when I myself've been the recipient of similar past kindnesses." Jinx turns to the others, his face a question to each in turn.

 

[Dog Moon]

Deren grimaces at the whole situation. "Well, I guess we were headed back that way anyway. I guess this just means we'll be leaving a little earlier than expected."

 

[Voadam]

"Yes, Lord Krane an' his manservant was alive last I saw 'em. He 'ad wanted t' investigate one o' the outlying farms where a raid 'ad occurred, t' see signs o' this "cult."" Elmo sighs and takes another pull from his mug. "I tried t' fight, but I only 'ad me dagger. There was a dozen of 'em, at least. Came at us out o' the dark as we was leaving."

Sir Merrick's face hardens more and more as he hears the news. "A dozen. Dressed all in black. Did they have horses or were they afoot? Are you sure they were all men? There have been inhuman gnolls and bugbears among other fell races that we have put down of late."

It seems all our ways reach to the temple somehow …
He takes the whole coffee in quick swig.
Now I'm refreshed.
