Greyhawk - Return of the Slavelords! Part 1

[Scotley]

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

As Verrick is about to head off with Kelaan in search of drink, another maid comes up to her and says "Kaleen, oh my dear, raiders! Raiders have attacked again. The Dame is calling up the Watch!"

"Perhaps I can be of some assistance." "Kaleen, can you have my horse saddled while I gather my gear?"

Verrick hurries to his room and begins to to put on armor and his weapons. He carefully checks his material components and other items. Once he is satisfied he gathers Rauxy and heads for the stable.

Philo Human Paladin

If Arianrhod needs asistance or Healing, Philo offers her aid, including his Lay on Hands ability if need be. Also, he attempts to ask what or who the raiders are.

Otherwise, he rushes towards wherever the party members, or local leaders, are to find out how to help with the defence.

 

[Karl Green]

Those in the courtyard (at present Philo, Norbac and Geenaa) listen as different guards come and go, servants run about and general panic seems to be in the air. When the Dame arrives she listens to Arianrhod who tells that story that her and Lorien where out riding and that she saw smoke over a hill and ravens in the air. Lorien told her to rush back to the castle and warn them that it must be a raiders attack. He went to check it out and that she was to summon help. The Dame and Sergeant get a pretty good idea where they were at and she says "Assemble the guard and summon Refleev and his woodsmen. Pack for 3 days and be ready to head out before sunset" (about two or three hours from now)

As this is happening, Verrick and Defrel are arriving at the courtyard. It will take the guard at least an hour or two to prepare to move out. The party might be able to leave in 15 or 20 minutes if they wanted to…

"They move to fast fer us to catch them normally and head off into the north of the Abbor-Alz and da disputed border with the Duchy of Urnst. The noble from dat region did threaten the Dame with a war iffin we crossed into dat area… so its be a bad situation…[/b]”

"Don´t worry for me, those not the first raiders I chase. And I don´t care for borders and such nonsense."

Norbac is ready just gathering his weapons, but waits a little to see if Verrick or any of the others are coming too.

"I think we should make haste. Lorien is a very capable fellow, but I don't think he can handle an entire raiding party on his own. You look ready for action Norbac, what say the rest of you? Do we ride now and let the guard follow?"

Lorien, Human Ranger

Lorien finds a concealed place where he can sleep for 2 hours (all he needs for a full night's rest due to the ring of sustenance).

He does not light a fire for warmth (doesn't need that either due to the Endure Elements spell).

As soon as he wakes up, he resumes his tracking.

Defrel, Male Human, Thief

"Verrick, I know not this lorien, however, you have shown me kindness in the search for one I lost, I say let us ride..." Time to hunt agian Gandi...

"The longer we wait, the worse the out-come if everyone is healthy..."

Philo Human Paladin6

I agree with Verrick. We should make off with all haste. It will take the guard some time to get organized.

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

I agree with Verrick. We should make off with all haste. It will take the guard some time to get organized.

"I expect that you sir paladin can make greater speed than the guard as well. And I must agree with Defrel that haste will only increase our chances of saving some of the victoms. Geena will you join us?" Verrick mounts up. "Well Norbac another chance for glory, shall we ride."

 

[Someone]

Norbac, half orc cleric.

"Well Norbac another chance for glory, shall we ride."

"Leave glory for others. I told you what raiders do and what I´ve seen them doing. Now, if I find a horse that could carry me, that would be great."
