Echoes of Empire IC

[Kamard]

Morning seems like it takes about three days to come...{OOC: Blah!} but you eventually awaken from where ever it was you slept, and begin the trek to Archport anew in the morning.

OOC: I'm sorry, guys. I will try to keep up with the game from now on, but I had intermittent access, what with an unforeseen move and some other happy garbage.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

I'm Thinking there is something wong with us taking this box. J is red eyed and obviously has not slept well. The seer said that we were taking something to a person and that the thing would be used for evil. J looks at the box again.

 

[Sniktch]

"I sssaid box is bad, Blue J - we mussst be rid of it! If we do not deliver to itsss intended dessstination, what are we to do? I do not want to open it any longer - it chillsss my marrow to think of it."

Krasslik is also bleary-eyed, having been plagued by nightmares throughout the night.

"I do know of sssome hiding placesss where perhapsss we could be rid of it, but sssuch thingsss have a way of being found."

[OOC - Sir Osis is out of town, hence his absence from this thread. Just in case you didn't know, Kamard]

 

[Krug]

Arask nods. "Yes.. we should be careful... we are not emissaries of evil. Can someone try opening it? At least we will know what's inside. If it is something normal, we will deliver it as normal."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Well I consider this settled. We open the box. But can someone check to see if it is Booby trapped?

 

[Gurdjieff]

"I dunno if it's such a great idea to open the box, ya never know what the Mage put in it. Let us move swiftly to Archport and cash our reward."

Endor shivers at the thought of what could be in the box, and he pets Guar.

 

[Sniktch]

"I do not want to open it - unfortunately, I have no ssspecial ssskillsss that would allow me to sssearch for trapsss, either. Blue J, can you sssee if there are any magical aurasss placed ON the box?

"Endor, if we deliver it for evil purposssesss, what then? Isss that what you truly desssire, to follow ordersss blindly?"

 

[Gurdjieff]

"Aye, I've given me word to Fingolfen, and so have ye all, and Fingolfen has a good reputation my hissing friend! But if it makes ye happy, I'll let me furry friend Guar here sniff the box."

"Guar, check the box if something in there is alive!"

 

[Sniktch]

"Reputationsss lie, friend dwarf, do not trussst them. I tell you, I do not like thisss thing that we do - we should have quessstioned him more closesly when we accepted the tasssk, but we had no evil omensss to warn usss then.

"You heard Blue J - the ssseer sssaysss we deliver the box for evil purposssesss. While I am no sssaint, I alssso do not desssire to bring more evil into thisss world - there isss enough already.

"However, if all of you ssstand againssst me, I will defer to your wisssdom."

 

[Krug]

Arask casts a detect magic on the chest. She snarls, "Then lets deliver it quickly! If it was something of great importance or capable of doing much doom to peoples surely he would have done it himself."
