Feint Whispers Chapter #3: Festival of Falling

[Mirth]

"You'd better speak up and fast, young'un," chides Tarowyn as he watches Whitney prepare to give Jericho her potion. "When he wakes up, you're gonna be in the same boat as your late friend Joseph. Tell me what you know now and I'll let you run before he comes to. But I better believe you."

 

[Krug]

"I say we best be out of here, and soon," says Bhartus. Bhartus waits to see how the CLW potion is, and uses up anoter CLW on either himself or Tarowyn, depending who is more injured. He will search the Gnome's body as well.

Yeap... posting problems. Let's hope its ok now.

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho groans... or lays inertwhichever is fitting, visions of dancing nude maidens, Whitney amongst them, laying in his head.

Whitney lays Jericho's head down on his cloak. "I thin he's feeling better, he's leering again." Mist, from her perch on Whitney's shoulder's purrs loudly in agreement.

Turning to the others, "Perhaps we should let him rest a moment while we discuss the child's immediate future." she says as she walks over to pick up Jericho's fallen sword. "I'd speak fast boy.. the sleeping one isn't know for tolerance." Lays the sword by her sleeping companion.

The boy responds, "I don't be knowing that. Me and me chums be doing what we usualy do in the King's city when de boss be telling us that we be heading south. I do knows he was talking to some goblins before we left, but I think they simply be the friends of them Tusks, " he motions to the fallen half-orcs...

Bhartus regains 6.

Jericho regains 2, putting him at -2.

The entertainers begin to flood back into the open space of the caravan camp to collect their things now that the fighting is over.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus says, "We'd best him out of here and recuperate," he says.

He casts two Cure Minor Wounds on Jericho and tells Tarowyn to help carry Jericho back to an inn or safer ground.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"I wish to check that.." points to Tongue's corpse. ".. man's wagon.. see if we can find some sort of info to point this to a specific person or persons."

 

[Mirth]

Tarowyn looks the boy up and down. "I'm afraid that's not good enough," the elf says slowly and coldy and then fires an arrow into the boy's leg, aiming to cripple, not kill. While the youth screams in pain, Tarowyn turns to Bhartus and says, "I've got a wicked slice across my back from this one that could use some tending, whenever you've got the time, Priest." Then the elf turns to Whitney and says, "I'll help you search in a moment, if you want the extra hand."

 

[jasamcarl]

With Bhartus' care, Jericho's wounds heal, brining him to consciencesness.. the holy power contrasts with the tortured moans of the pickpocket

Jericho regains 8.

Upon searching the wagon, the party uncovers a massive well of gold under a loose plank in the floor. Each is emblazened with the profile of his majesty the Emperor of the South Basil III. Also found is a parchment with an unknown code written over it along with numbers. It appears to be some type of bond, with stick figures demarking a debt of four slaves, but the identity of the borrower is not present, instead an ink mark resembling a flaming dagger stands in place of a signature.





We will total up the gold after you guys head back to rest.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Well." she says as she sees the scroll. "I suspect that is for us.. but who would hire someone to kill us? Think the sherriff might have someone to help us figure it out?"
