Death in Freeport

[Graybeard]

Don't feel bad. I wasn't sure which side Anton should be on so mostly I just had him be non-committal. If I remember correctly, Anton and Wilbur were introduced to you at the same time but I could be wrong. Have to check farther back in the thread to be sure.

Both Anton and Wilbur were introduced by Egil at the same time.

You had not met Justin before, but he knew Egil's codeword. Logan is unconnected but with similar goals.

No shame for not remembering Wilbur. He just sat in a bar, went to the latrine and stayed there, from your point of view. Nothing exceptional.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all as well. I'm back from vacation and trying to catch up on all my games.

I vaguely remember reading quite a few years ago some such quest to save a person from soul devouring dagger, but I cannot remember the details or where I've read it.

Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan? Around the second book I think Matt starts being consumed by the dagger but is eventually saved by the aes sedai. Its what I thought of immediately on reading your story. [/sblock]

Quick recap for Ivid:

Justin went into the latrine and convinced the nauseated Wilbur that Justin is on his side. Also in the latrine was another patron who got a complementary soup and did not fare as well, he's doubled over in a corner groaning.

Justin slashed Wilbur to bloody his blade and then broke through the wall out of the inn. Dragging Wilbur out into a dark alley he sent him off to hide in the shadows.

Justin inspired courage for everybody then drew out a wineskin and contemplated how he could catch a cloud with it.

[sblock]A reminder: The Paragnostic Assembly sent you to find and copy some ancient Uraqi texts that Avaldunir (a high ranking member of the Assembly) divined were recently unearthed. You know that at one point they were on the ship The Bloody Vengeance and you tracked an orc from the ship to the tavern The Rusty Tankard tonight, though this required expending some resources the Assembly sent you out with. You were in the bar discretely listening in on the orc through a clairaudience potion as he talked to Justin and then Kenzil.

You picked up that the books you were looking for left the ship in the possession of a person named Lucius, a former companion of the orc's. The rest about Lucius you have picked up from the orc's discussions and the PC's statements.

You were bluffing a lot with the orc and the party as you actually know very little about Lucius and had never heard of him before tonight. You have pieced together that Lucius had the books, that he is currently missing, that these people are looking for him, and that Lucius has suspected memory issues.[/sblock]

 

[Neurotic]

[sblock=Reminder answer]Yes, I know. I pulled it out of the hat. And the best thing is that even Lucius with his memory loss cannot gain say me

I'm following the best lead I have and that WAS the orc and now it's this motley crew

Neurotic[sblock]Sounds good, just wanted to make sure we were on the same page conceptually.[/sblock]
