Dungeon Adventure Path: Life's Bazaar

[Old Fezziwig]

Vorik: Gretchyn smiles slightly at your formality and motions for you to enter and follow her. "Well, well, yes, Vorik. I'm Gretchyn Tashykk, the headmistress. You're certainly not the first visitor to inquire." She emits a barking laugh. "We've become very popular. The children, with things as they are, are fine."

She leads you down a hallway and into a large dining area, mostly empty, although there's a group of people talking in the back (a couple hobgoblins, a gnome, a canis, a female elf, and a human). A rather severe and formal man is setting up the tables for breakfast. "As you can see, we have some visitors already. The Church of St. Cuthbert sent them over and, I must say, they've been a tremendous help." She pauses. "I'm sorry, who did you say your employer was?"

She blinks at the mention of Kord and looks over at the group puzzledly. "Right, of course..." She cocks her head to the side and flattens her ears against her head for a moment. "Oh well, no matter. If you would like, I can introduce you to the people sent by the Church of St. Cuthbert and get you some breakfast. It's not a problem at all."

OOC for Vorik: As soon as you respond, I'll try to push things on. I'm going to try to work you into the storyline fairly quickly.

OOC for Everyone Else: Please continue with your conversation, when you've reached a reasonable amount of consensus, I'll push things along.

OOC for Qoll: I'm assuming that you're forgoing the opportunity to respond to the sending? See the OOC thread for my post over there (in response to your question), if you haven't already.

Vorik:

"I would like to meet them and compare notes..."

(Thinking to himself - They appear to be somewhat of an interesting lot, dont they)

Sando will wait to be introduced to the child that had the bad dream.

[ooc: I hadn't seen that. Thanks.]

Sorry to hear about your loss, Master Eroe. Ruby Chapel has authorized building a new temple. Carson Ambercrown in charge. Reply in 25 words. —Krejzack—

Qoll mouthed the words as he responded silently to the Sending:
Thank you for your commiseration. I've not met Master Ambercrown. Assure him that he can count on any assistance I am able to give. -Qoll-

Vorik: Gretchyn nods and beckons you back towards breakfast and the motley band from the Church of St. Cuthbert...

For everyone: You see Gretchyn approaching you with a tall man, lanky, with long black hair. His arms and hands are covered in scars, presumably chemical in nature. She coughs, "I hope I'm not interrupting all of you; I wanted to introduce you to someone —" She indicates the man next to her. "This is Vorik, sent over by the House of Lordly Might (that's the temple of Kord for those of you who aren't local). He asked if he might meet you and compare notes. Speaking of meeting, have you all decided whether or not you need to meet my staff?"

Qoll: Another ruby flash and then...

My thanks, Master Eroe. I'm sure that Master Amblecrown will be pleased to have any assistance you might offer.

"Thank you Miss Gretchen."


When it seems like an appropriate time to address the group I will say the following:


"Hello and greetings to you fine company…

It appears we share a common interest in unearthing the root of this evil that troubles our town and its inhabitants. As Miss Gretchen mentioned, The House of Lordly Might has sent me as an envoy to act on their behalf and in harmony with any other interest devoted to halting the loss of our people.

I am a native of Cauldron, and have a working notion about the situation, which may in time prove to have some bearing on these events. Personally, I am up for adventure and discovery…I will follow the paths that lead my heart and curiosity…

In the meantime, it looks like these paths have led us to this same interest point…

What have you discovered thus far here at the orphanage?

Have you inspected the rooms of the children?"

"We have just been discussing the best way to go about touring of the grounds, interviewing the staff, and meeting the children. Pray tell, what is your 'working notion'?"

 

[Jalon Odessa]

'Greetings, I am Liandra Ilvarya.'

The elf greets the newcomer with a small courtsey.

'It certainly seems as though the immediate future sees you walking the same path as my associates and myself, so feel free to seek any assistance from us in your investigation. Any information you can give us on the matters at hand would certainly be appreciated aswell - it appears as though perhaps you're more knowledgable about the recent happenings than we are.'

Sando says a quick greetings to the newcomer and goes about contacting the child who had the nightmare.
"Hello" says the Gnome to the child, "I'm Sando Scrapfinder. Can you tell me about the dream you had on the night the others disapeared?"
