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

Lola

Rovan grinned, obviously happy with the kiss and the show. He told Lola how exquisite she looked in her dress, then began to explain to her a dance he had recently learned. They quickly went to a nearby tavern where three musicians played the flute, guitar, and drums and melded their tunes into a slow rythmic song. One lady danced with Lola, showing her a writhing dance that involved hips more than feet. Rovan encouraged Lola as she began to grasp the dance and put twists of her own into it.

Quinn, Edvan, Hilmdyn, and Rovan

There was no sign of Lola in the temple area, though Quinn talked to one tipsy sailor who had come from Hedonist Street and said he saw a woman of Lola's description leaving Hedonist Street and going south on Beggar's Street. There Edvan talked to a soldier that said he saw her going inside a tall building across from the Constable's Barracks on the same street some hours ago. It was unknown whether she had left the building. It was now night as the sun dropped over the horizon.

The building referred to was forty-five feet in height and had a door 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. There were two stone outcroppings at fifteen feet and thirty feet of height, respectively, used to catch rain water and pipes that led from them to drainage ditches.

Lola was very pleased with herself for pleasing Rovan. She hadn't been exaggerating about being a fast learner and anything involving her hips she was fairly proficient in so it was easy to pick up. She danced for Rovan and his smile pressed her to do more so she did. Finally she approached him and slid into his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Why don't we go now lover? This is a beautiful gown but it will look better on the floor at home, I think." She grinned at him knowingly, certain what his answer would be.

OOC: if the outcroppings look to catch rain water, how does the water drip and make the dark marks?

Quinn

Quinn notices that the stonework that drains the water looks relatively new in comparison to the rest of the building. It's a plain building, and seems odd and non-descript for a supposed temple. Quinn also notices that the marks are more like stains from a darker colored liquid, but he is unsure of what it could be. The stains are also older looking than the stonework drainage system as the stonework is built over several longer blemishes.

Though the stains are most cirtainly odd, he is still unsure as to what they might be ... water ... blood ... whatever ... so he refrains from commenting at this time. That, however does not mean he is not thinking on it. in fact he is showing signs of deep contemplation on his face, while staring at the building.
 


Hilmdyn takes a look at the building, trying to see if it bears the marks of any of the local sects or cults.

Hilmdyn

The priest took a close look at the walls and found several engravings of different cults, most of which he did not recognize. The City-State had many gods that were worshipped, large and small. There were small symbols carved into the wall to Yood, a god from the East, Botan a Druidic plant god, Sebel, a winter goddess from the North and others that he did not recognize. Sebel was a goddess that involved human sacrifice, though her symbol of a moon and star was fading and Hilmdyn believed that she had not been worshipped here for some time. Other strange symbols he did not recognize such as carved eyes, horses, shapes from star constellations, and so on. It seemed as if this building had been used in the past for numerous cults that came and went.

"This building has been home to many cults over the years," Hildyn tells the others. "I can't say who holds sway here know."

OOC: Does Hildmyn recognize any of the more recent looking symbols as being associated with mentha-using groups?
