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

[Neurotic]

Erm, maybe I should put it more clearly. Edmond doesn't consider himself Little Lamm, but Irori warrior. And there was much more turnover in the temple with guards, suplicants, monks etc then in Little Lamms.

Sorry for the confusion, I believed that context of speaking to fellow Irorite will make it clear...

Got it - thanks for clearing that up.

Stepping inside Brindom gives a start at seeing Manachan. "Umm.. thank you," he says taking the glass.

Drinking the water to give himself time he hands the empty glass back and says, "So you both were part of the group that brought Gaedren Lamm to justice?" he studies Edmond harder than the golden haired man still trying to place him. "When I was younger Lamm pretended to be my friend but it was all a lie." Shorter but just as thin, no tattoo if I picture him without the tattoo.

"Anyway lets just say Lamm hurt me and ruined my dreams to be in the guard, but you and your friends have helped me more than you know." He extends his hand to Edmond. "And I wanted to thank you for both."

Manachan

"Your thanks should go to Edmond, here. I'm a friend of his and only arrived here a little while ago. I found myself at loose ends and wanted to see what he'd been up to recently.

Sounds like he's been doing worthy things! Who is this Gaedren Lamm?"

 

[Neurotic]

"Come inside, we can talk while we are comfortable."

He ushers them both back into his study and sits WITH them not across the table. He turns his chair so he leans forward on the backsupport.

"Gaedren Lamm is a despicable little man who uses, or rather used, children for his own petty thievery and extortions. He was never important enough for guards to track him down. He is the reason I ended up in the temple and..."

Edmond speaks of Lamm with still present supressed anger and more then once his control slips and small magical effects appear before he regains his composure. He retellls the story of Valthosian and Zellara, purposfully avoiding backstory of Lynn and Dj'ahn keeping their privacy, but giving praise where it belongs.

"...and now I'm trying to rebuild my family honor and bring to justice one who caused all this. And there is small matter of former Little Lamms and their education. That is whole story behind it."

Manachan cannot but notice that the man before him seems more at ease then he ever knew him to be. Occasionaly even traces of genuine emotions would creep into his monotone narrative and he was more open with his story then ever before. It seems that capturing Lamm had good effect on him too.

Brindom listened to the tale of Edmond's adventure to stop Lamm, he had a hard time as he also was trying to place the man or the person Brindom thought he looked like. But years of trying to forget his difficult childhood had left his memories fuzz, Brindom still had the nagging thought he knew Edmond.

When he started to speak of his current goals he listened very carefully. "Edmond, may I help you in these endeavors? You and your friends have done so much for me and Korsova, I would like to help you."

Brindom looks hopefully at the wiry man.

 

[Neurotic]

His paranoia flaring up again, Edmond looks at the man he just met.

"My friend here also wants to join us. I have to confer with my companion before I admit anyone else into the group. You may be surprised when you see him, but treat him as you would me.

If you tell me where are you staying I'll send for you when Dj'ahn arrives.

Since we lost two of our company I don't think we can afford to accept more missions without some backup so I don't expect problems there. But please be aware, in every mission there was very real chance of getting hurt or dying. If you show cowardice that will be your last mission (with us) since I firmly believe you have to believe your partners are guarding your back.

In the meantime, would you tell me your story? What is it that Lamm did to prevent you from being guard?"

 

[HolyMan]

Brindom is slow to react to Edmond's words, thinking hard what to tell. "I haven't found a place yet. I just left the temple and wanted to find the people who served up Lamm to justice right off." He says stalling for a little time.

"My story is ... not much of one but let us say that Gaedren used me to supply him information about the guard in the guise of being my friend and interested in such things. Later it was discoveried that he was using the information he got to ambush or by-pass patrols. When it was learned I was the one who told him the guard didn't believe me innocent and put me out. When I comfronted Lamm, he laughed at me then beat me and left me for dead." Brindom shivers at the memories of the cold alley the bloody taste in his mouth.

"I was living quietly in the temple when I heard the news and it shamed me that others had done what I should have done, could have done if I were in the guard. So I decided to seek out those who might need my help. I will cower and hide no more when I have the ability to help."

He shakes himself out of his rant and looks dubiously at the two men. Did one of them cast something on me to get me to say so much? he thinks. A grin starts to form on his face as he thinks, no they just made me feel at ease and welcome that must be it.

The Harrow deck does indeed confirm that the wand's only property is the comparatively minor spell of acid splash. So could Majenko be right? Was he, Dj'hân, really responsible for the scirocco wind that blasted Lamm and Verik?

It was as much guesswork as anything, Dj'hân, says Majenko. My race are as much part of the fey world as we are dragon, and I have heard of people like you, but never seen one. You are very rare, Dj'hân, and it is an honour to have been rescued by you.

OOC: Jeremiah is happy to increase the liripoop of holding. That pseudodragons are part fey is not, I think, an official part of Golarion, and Majenko might be lying. However, I notice that the Pathfinder Bestiary has faerie dragons, perhaps Majenko will undergo his own transformation.

Brindom doesn't seem particularly shifty or preoccupied.

All: A bit short of time now, but I'll try to get the next part up shortly. If there's any other housekeeping you want to do with your characters, now is the time.

I mentioned that Edmond contacted Lady Kroft and that advisor woman whose name escapes me right now for rights on some boats that need new owners/captains etc...and to ask for other missions available...there are still plenty of money, but it WILL run out eventualy
