Darksun Killer In Ravenloft PT I

[silvertable81]

Odten, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Sir Socrates, in the place we were... before... we were on a search for a murderer. I, for one, fear that if we've made a transition, the killer may very well have followed. We were set upon this mission, by a Templar, one of the Elite Guards of our city. That Templar, in this "time-space" seems to be your king.
If you would be so kind as to help us on our mission for that person, we may help you on yours. Mayhap, the two missions are intertwined in some way?

Socrates sits back listening to the people talk. In his studies he has heard tales of other worlds that sometimes touch upon the real world. He had never given the stories much thought until today.
He whispers to his friend and bodyguard "Adamant please refrain from disparaging remarks. Remember the last time?'
He turns to the 'newcomers' to the city. "I am sorry for Adamant's behavior. We three are very protective of one another and he was just looking out for my welfare. Now it sounds like you may have stepped through a rip in space/time. These tears in the fabric of reality are exceedingly rare but I have heard stories of them. If this tear is still open in the sewers that might explain the occurances we have been sent to investigate. WE should join forces and explore the sewers together. Prehaps we can find you a way back to your world."

Tallask stares at the man doubtfully for a moment, then shrugs. "Unlikely. But I have a suit of armor made from Inix hide which speeds me when charging foes, I can use my mind to strengthen my weapon, and summon the power of a Kank or a Dagon beast. Why is this any stranger? Tell us what you know, local."

Local doesn't seem to be a term of endearment from him.

Tallask stares at the man doubtfully for a moment, then shrugs. "Unlikely. But I have a suit of armor made from Inix hide which speeds me when charging foes, I can use my mind to strengthen my weapon, and summon the power of a Kank or a Dagon beast. Why is this any stranger? Tell us what you know, local."

"Not imprisive. I can summon those power myself, but I don't need an armor to speed up on a charge, I can do it myself and my weapon is stronger by itself, so I don't need to stregthen it."

OOC: I think if I had to pass a day with my character, I would start to hate him

 

[dead_radish]

Tallask meets the man's gaze, and sighs. "If you wish to test the length of our shafts, we can do so later. I am satisfied with my own."

He turns his gaze to the one that speaks of the rifts. "I am the only one" (OOC: Aren't I?) "among us that came through the sewers. You had best keep your beast from annoying me again if you wish to know what I've seen." He seems more clear-headed now that the air is a bit charged. "The only reason I am still here is to find a way back to Ayla. If you people do not wish to help, I will find my own people."

OOC: Ditto for that. Damned Elves.....

LOL thus why it's role-playing and not roll playing

 

[silvertable81]

Good Socrates, I did notice maps about your person, did I not? I also know from my reading of the memory crystal, now in our posession that one from our world held an interest in those sewers as well.
He had some places marked as though they were particularly interesting, may I see one of your maps, to judge if those "hot spots" still exist.

OOC; I still kinda like the guy.
Also assuming Jayde gets to study the maps, she tries to find one of the "hot spots" as she believes they may hold a key to getting back home.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Socrates seeing that Adamant is being his usual adorable self, turns to the woman and says, "Jayde is it? I would be most happy to show you my maps." He thinks at that statement for a second and blushes. "I..I mean here at the table. Not in a private room. I would never try to insinuate that.." He shuts up and continues to blush.

 

[Guest 11456]

Andus watches the others trying to figure out what is going on. He scratches his head as he is distracted by a person passing by on the street. As he turns back to the conversation at hand he still can't quite figure out what is going on. He continues to stand nearby with his arms crossed.

KILLER IN KALIDNAY
DARKSUN IN RAVENLOFT
SEGMENT 113

You carefully roll out the maps. Several things Socrates can show you quickly. The sewers have multiple layers that connect through tunnels and stairways. The sewers are both a natural formation ( a type of grotto when water was higher) of caves and underground waterways. Manmade tunnels connect the areas and seperate drinking water from the sewer waters.

Jayde has only a bit of sence of scale within the map and city. There are some similiarities. The spot that draws your attention is where the haunted Burdo House is. It seems curious to you that everything near the Royal quarters has issues but Socrates mentions that many locals mistake security as being a murderous monster. Not to say there isn't one and may have something to do with the security installed.

Asked about security systems known, Socrates can only say known and unknown. Wards are to be expected. The King is a cautious and guarded man also. There will be things there otherthan wards. There will be traps of any and every sort and he stresses any.

Jayde, Oden and Tallask all remember that Tenk was the High-Templar of Security, Justice and the Arena. Truely, anything is possible.

One problem area includes a section on the third layer under the Rat Warrens (the homeless / poor) section of the city. Also on the third level is a section in question that leads to the lake. These are marked with an "x". Other areas are circled. These areas are more common and represent cave-ins or possible cave-ins areas.

Jayde- you see something written on the cornner. You recognize the language as one NOT very common in the area. Do you take a moment to read it and if so- so that everyone knows you can read it or so that ONLY you know what it says?

Everyone else- what are doing? Several people give the 1/2 Giant a good long stare before scurring away. 1/2 Giants are not welcome. Tallask sees one of the barmaidens come to the doorway with water to offer for sale. She is stopped and the young noble takes the tray. He is a bit clumsy and unbalanced with it giving a true sence of this may be the first time carrying water and glasses on a tray. After steadying it, he looks at Jayde and smiles wide and comes over to offer free chilled sweet water (looking at her). Jayde misses it (go figure) but Socrates notes the boys attempt at looking down her shirt. Tallask notes it also. Andus misses it completely (natural 1 on Spot).

OOC- Sewer maps are coming up shortly
