Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Alpha Group

"With things the way they are right now, I'd say almost certainly. Depending on how successful you are with this task, of course," replies Kroft.

Very pleased by Tristan's recognition of him as a partner, Jerrigan says, "Well, I don't know, Tristan, I mean we have so many offers of employment on the table right now..... But, I think, with a little creative schedule juggling, we should be able to work in one more. :hmm: Yes, let's give it a go. We accept."
 

"Will there be anything else, Field Marshall? If not, we will get started."

When Tristan and Jerrigan are outside, Tristan will explain privately "I want to ask my friend Bael - the Academy guard who helped take down Lamm - to go in on this. I would ask Maya as well, but I think she would be more liable to join the deserters in handing out food than to help bring them in! What do you think?"

"Since I don't know Bael at all, and really don't know Maya well enough to say how she might react, I am content to just trust your judgment in this matter. Lead on, then, Tristan!"
 



ooc: Bael will be easy to find and eager to help ;)

The Acadamae tends to keep itself sealed and aloof from the rest of the city. It has a distinct Chelaxian feel both in architecture and attitude, tending to take scions of Chelaxian noble houses and dealing significantly in summoning and binding magic (the imps that perdiodically plague the city are escapees from failed students). Little is know to an outsider of the inner workings of the college. Once a year, they hold the Breaching Festical where city folk are invited to test the Acadamae's warding spells and get in any way they can. Tieflings are commonly employed as guards.

OOC: For the sake of convenience, I'm going to assume the Tristan and Jerrigan have arranged to meet Bael and Maya back at the Jittery Quill with news of what the Marshal wants from them.

IC:
Tristan and Jerrigan arrive back at the Jittery Quill to find Maya and Bael waiting for them. They fill their friends in on the details of Kroft's job (1000 gp between you to return five deserters) when suddenly there is a thunderous noise from outside, like a building collapsing, that causes the Jittery Quill to live up to its name. Crockery rattles off the tables and shatters on the floor, the leaded windows shake in their frames. Looking outside, you see that a massive creature has erupted from the ground, shedding cobblestones and earth. A metal grille slides from its round, blobbish body - a sewer plate. The thing stands on stubby legs, has a massive tooth-lined maw in the middle of its sac-like body, and three tentacles ending in spined pads. There is a stench of sewage.

An otyugh. The city keeps them in the sewers to feed on the waste. Korvosan folk legends tell of some escaping from time to time, but it is not an event known to have happened for a long time.

People in the square outside run screaming from the beast.

"Hungry!" it bellows. "Fresh meat!"

Rpgramen: If you're still with us, Crispin and Zenderholm also notice this as they are in a building across the other side of the square.

"Great! At least we hadn't to crawl through the sewers to find a sewer monster!" Bael says in disdain
