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

[Ambrus]

Dj'hân nods to Edmond. "Sure. Looks like he went down just past Harbourview. Can't imagine that it'd be hard to find a grounded hippogriff thereabouts."

When the holy warrior suggests leaving Lamm and Hookshanks behind, the urchin nods towards the nearest wooden pillar with its assortment of heavy rusted shackles. "Maybe chaining em up would be a good idea; you've got enough manacles there to chain em both up four times over. Though best check em again for picks first."

Dj'hân sets out the found items in front of him and shuffles the Harrow deck. Three items stand out as magic - the vial of silver liquid, the tube of oily liquid and the wand.

Three items, three divinations. He draws a card for each items.

The vial of silvery liquid gets The Brass Dwarf. Reversed. Invulnerability, reversed. It is a vial of silversheen.

The tube of oily liquid gets The Rabbit Prince. The capriciousness of combat. This is a dose of oil of keen edge.

The wand gets The Beating. Attacks from all sides. It is a wand of magic missiles, 25 charges. (CL 1st).

OOC:
I note that Knowledge (arcane) also works for identifying items, so I used that, giving Dj'hân a +16 bonus with identify effect.

Rolls
Silversheen 13+16=29
Wand 20+16=36
Oil 8+16=24

King Eodred's dead?

Lynn hardly knew what to think. While she had never been an ardent supporter of the King, the Queen's ascension to the thrown was a troubling thought to her.

Of course they had more immediate problems to deal with.

Alright, let's close the place up and go out and see if we can get a better idea of what is going on. We can make a better decision if we have a clearer picture of the situation. However let's not forget our task here is not finished.

Dj'hân beams at Lynn. "I've closed, barred or locked all the doors as best I could when I last went up. There's only the office door that Edmond came through left to do, so we can go out that way. There's also a cabin on the old sloop out back that we haven't looked inside yet; don't know if there's anything in there to see though."

 

[Valthosian]

Thorson

Thorson seems a bit flustered by the rapid turn of events, as if rapidly spun and not quite sure which way is forward.

We should take a look at the cabin first, but really, I don't understand why any of you are trying to get involved with this king and queen business, what's it matter to common folk? Either one would soon as see me getting eaten in the shingles than just earning an honest wage.

When he went to scout from the rigging of the old hulk, Dj'hân noticed that the deck of the ship, and the walkway, were all in a very bad state of repair. It was able to support his tiny weight, but may not fare so well under his larger companions.

There are no problems with chaining Lamm and Hookshanks in the manacles - some of the keys on Lamm's set fit the manacles.

"I dunno Mr Giant. You don't look so good being hurt and all. Besides, all the wood in back seems rotted through; I can get around alright but I think any of you three might go straight through the planks if you wuz to try going on the boat. Maybe you should stay here to watch them and that stuff..." Dj'hân motions towards the prisoners and then points to the treasure chest. "...while I lead the others to go and see about the rider. It's just a few blocks; we should be back right quick." The guttersnipe smiles reassuringly.

 

[Neurotic]

Edmond Deathwish

I don't wish to get involved in any combat, especially royal succession one, but there is Sable marine that needs help if he is alive. And any violent disturbance can be excuse for violent and intolerant men to do what they want. Sometimes it's destroying temples and killing innocents. And I won't stand for that. Thus, I'm going toward temple area.

You can stay here with these two and wait for us. Or you can help me hide them and come with us. I'll do my best to ensure you are healed once we get to the temples.

 

[Valthosian]

I'm not going to hide in here like some terrified kitten, Thorson spits out, I'll go with you, just don't be surprised when we come out of this in far greater peril than we entered.

 

[Ambrus]

OOC: We seem to have something of a consensus I believe, so I'll assume the characters are all heading out together.

Dj'hân backs away nervously from the brutish half-orc's vehement response. "Okay. Okay. You can come too Mr Giant."

The streetwise urchin helps search the prisoners once more for concealed picks or weapons as the adults go about the task of shackling them to the building's supports.

When everyone is ready to go, Dj'hân leads the way back up through the building and out the office doorway, swinging it closed and locking it as best as possible behind them before preceding. Then, under cover of darkness, the stealthy guttersnipe leads the group along a circuitous route through shadowy back alleys, vacant lots and little known shortcuts toward Habourview Boulevard. All the while, the knee-high halfling pumps his little legs to try and stay ahead of his long-legged giant companions.
