D&D: Kazadar Empire

[Thrarn Iranorn]

OOC: I apologize for not posting. To be honest, I forgot that this game had started back up. Just got used to nothing going on for a while I guess.

IC:
Keldorn nods in agreement to Galego about staying in town with Faehelle and continues to speak when the others have finished. “My lady, I will stay by your side to the very end. I am somewhat familiar to the area so my knowledge of the city should prove to be most useful. I also believe it is a good idea for the others to return to Osbourne and report what we have found. I think it would be best if Gilbie went with them, but that decision is of course up to him.” Trying to wipe the blood from his armor and axe he continues. “Now we need to get off this street now and find a place to lay low for a while.”

OOC: Toric, my knowledge of the town only comes from you and the background we discussed. So if there is any inside knowledge that Keldorn may have as a place to hide or a way to find our man, let me know.

 

[Faehlle Cennaire]

Pleased that three of her companions were staying to see out their mission, Faehlle nods in agreement with Keldorn's assesment. "Indeed, for those who have just slain ten kazadar soldiers, we waste too much time in the open. We should find a safe haven before we plan any further."

After wishing Faehlle, Gilbie, Keldorn and Galego luck, Dolfuur sets out for Osbourne's camp with Trent. Before reaching the outskirts of town, they pass another patrol of a dozen men heading towards The Soaring Eagle. They manage to avoid detection and are soon out of town and crossing the open plains towards the camp.

Meanwhile, using Keldorn's knowledge of Taran, the rest of the group finds shelter in the barn of an old abandoned farm about a quarter of a mile south of town to get out of the way of Kazadar military patrols and to make plans.

OOC: Okay, I'll stop it there so that Faehlle, Keldorn and Gilbie can figure out what their next course of action will be. It is still the middle of the night, prior to midnight. It will take Trent and Dolfuur until about dawn to reach the camp.

Gilbie sits on the ground, content to be not in any immediate danger. "My guess is that if Lodren wants to find us, he will. Should we not be contacted though in the next day or two, what should our course of action be? I'm thinking that if Osbourne still intends to take this town, he's going to need some help. Help that the elves may be able to offer."

 

[Faehlle Cennaire]

Also happy to be temporarily out of danger, Faehlle sit cross-legged on the floor, hands laying in her lap and with eyes closed, she rests a while.

"I believe we will need to seek out Lodren," she says after a while, "I do not think this quarry will come to us. We will need his help, for as you say, Osbourne will need aid. It is too long, however, to ride back to Cindale, marshall an army, and return, and Osbourne's camp may be found out in the mean time. Nay, we have too little time, and there is still too little trust between my people and the sons of Man for elves to rush off and die for them. This is something that we will have to resolve here, with what resources we have."

"We will need to secure Lodren's aid, but if this man is anything like an elf, we will need to secure his trust first. Having walked into his town and slaughtered the enemy so openly will draw a lot of eyes this way, and there will be very few shadows left to hide in, so surely he and his guild of thieves will make themselves very scarce. He will have little reason to trust those who have just drawn hither the watchful eyes of the local authority."

"If we want to find this man," she concludes, "we will have to make ourselves equally scarce. If, like him, we learn to tread lightly and go about our business unseen, then he may be more willing to lend us a sympathetic ear."

"But, having already been seen raising havoc, I believe it wise if we adopt new guises we are to to stay and achieve our goals here."

OOC: I'm gonna hold off on my next post until Sunday, the 19th, when Dolfuur is scheduled to return. With Maddmic gone on his honeymoon, I would rather wait for Dolfuur to return before continuing. In the meantime, if anyone has anything to say in-character between now and Sunday, feel free.

 

[Dolfuur]

After having said his good-byes to the others, Dolfuur had then struck their prisoner a sharp blow or two to the back of the head with his armoured fist.

Once the Kazadar was unconscious, the Dwarf had flung the man over his shoulder and then begun a light trot out of town. Happy to escape detection by another patrol, Dolfuur would have felt better if the Gnome had more Invisibility magic. They would just have to take their chances in the open.

Assuming he and Trent get back to Osbourne's camp intact, Dolfuur informs the picket that they need to speak with the King as soon as possible regarding their mission to Taran.

 

[Thrarn Iranorn]

Keldron seems a bit more concerned about being followed than the others are showing. He paces back and forth in front of the barn door, peeking outside quite often to see if anyone approaches. He is so caught up in what he is doing, that he doesn’t even realize the others are speaking.
