DT's Old School Campaign- (Chapter 4: The Guild and The Girl)

[Scott DeWar]

[sblock=At the house....]
Rove stands in the doorway. "Now why would a sailor from the Botany Bay, be here on our doorstep, if the Botany Bay sets sail a few days ago? Asking about a curse that we removed the source of many days before that?" asks Rovan suspiciously. [/sblock]

"Aye, tis true the botney bay did indeed take the tide out a few morn ago. I was left at an apothacary for me leg to be a heelin a bit before i was allowed to be a walkin. Strange thing that voayage.

*shudder*

It be the curse of that package that was the cause of me leg gitt cut off. twas a nasty storm from out the blue. caused the riggin to foul and one of me mates fell overboard. he was tangled in the ropes to the side and i wasa reachin for him. I felt me a slippin and was kept from washin away by a yardarm come a crashin on me leg. I was able to save me mate, but lost me leg doin it.

*Shudder*

strange storm, indeed. I wish to be a thankin yees all for breakin the curse if indeed it is broke. That is why I am here."

(your not sure, but is that a tear forming in his eye?)

The door to the strange, tall temple was as plain as the rest of the structure although the building itself was somehow strangely stained with black streak marks, likely from the effect that the rain had on the stone. The door was opened by a short, fat and bald man in purple robes who looked Lola up and down before smiling predatorially and asking, "Yes, my child?"

[sblock] Lola pulled her hook back and smiled at the man, though she was keenly aware of his eyes on her she kept that smile easygoing. "Good evening. If I may get right to the point so we don't have to stand out here in the cold, I have a friend... who has been here. She thought I might be interested in your... religion and she convinced me to stop by. She said you would be welcoming and that someone would be willing to show me around and better explain your ideals." [/sblock]

"Ah, well come in then" says Rovan with a smile directing Quinn to the table.

"but yes, the curse is lifted from the Botany Bay, have no fear of that. For you see Quinn, I have apparently assumed it upon myself." says Rovan with a wry smile.

"Indeed," Hilmdyn adds, "we've seen more than our share of trouble since we accepted the captain's offer, and Rovan here has suffered the worst of all. Don't assume that hanging on around us will make for a charmed life."

The man smiled and said, "Well you've come to the right place, child. Though we might not be able to admit you tonight. We have a special festivity planned. Still, I would most enjoy giving you a tour of our temple and answer questions as well as I can. Won't you come in, and tell me about this friend of yours and about yourself," the man opened the door and motioned for Lola to enter. She noticed that the room seemed like a simple hall behind him, lit by a few lanterns.

"Ah, well come in then" says Rovan with a smile directing Quinn to the table.

"Ah thank ye kindly me lord." he enters with a very pronounced linp puntuated by a *thump* of the wooden peg leg. Quinn sits as close to any source of heat he can find, the chill night air obviously not to his liking at this time of his life.

"but yes, the curse is lifted from the Botany Bay, have no fear of that. For you see Quinn, I have apparently assumed it upon myself." says Rovan with a wry smile.

Quinn's eyes grow as big as sausers at the revelation that the lord mage had taken the curse within himself. " I ... uh... you?..." he stammers for several seconds as he is not sure at all how to respond. He finally gathers his wits about himself and says," Me lord, as I am most garatuitous for ye most sacrificious action, is thar some way that this most humble sailor can be of assistance in the removein of said curse?"

it seems he is of the most sincere of words.

"Indeed," Hilmdyn adds, "we've seen more than our share of trouble since we accepted the captain's offer, and Rovan here has suffered the worst of all. Don't assume that hanging on around us will make for a charmed life."

He looks to hHlmdyn and says, "Me lord, Aye,thar be no delusions as to the danger of me requestin of yees to gratuitously bein of assistance of ye. I have see with me own eyes the nature of danger of this here curse."

The sailor visibly gulps at this time, but there does seem to a great deal of determination in his eyes.

For DT:
[sblock] "I understand sir and wouldn't presume I would ever be accepted without someone telling me I fit in." She stepped inside the room and opened her cloak. "Yes, I am quite interested in a tour." She took a few more steps into the room and looked around as she spoke. "I've had a very hard life sir, being an orphan, living on the streets and being a working woman. I am not entirely sure what all your beliefs are but my friend, whom would prefer stay anonymous at this point, says I would be welcome and find some... satisfaction... here."

She turned and her gray eyes focused on the man. "May I ask your name? And what is this special festivity planned, if I may be so bold?"[/sblock]

Rovan sits across from Quinn and stares at him silently for a moment, weighing his words and detemination. "Well Quinn, if you know how to get some Menthe, that would be a very large assistance to me."

 

[Scott DeWar]

Quinn ponders the question, reflecting onhis world travels, some of which were with the wizard's mercenary. He wonders if he has heard of it before, possibly inthe dives he frequinted during shore leave ... more specificly, the local dives.

Edvan gives this Quinn a thorough look over and seeing no immediate threat relaxes somewhat and slips his hand axe back into its place.
