Greyhawk - Return of the Slavelords! Part 1

[Rayex]

Geenaa, Human female barbarian

Geenaa eaths healthily at breakfast, as she usually do, then joins the others for the ceremony dedicated to Pelor. She quite enjoy the whole ceremony, but her mind is more on the upcoming tournament than here and now.
After the ceremony she will try to find where the guards of the castle are training, perhaps someone would like a sparring-partner.

Smirking at Noss, "Yes Noss, I would like that a great deal, please do try to arrange that...find me when you have finished.

"Thank you Kaleen, I'd like that very much. Perhaps if its not too much trouble you could show me around a bit. This place is amazing. Its easy to get lost. I'm sure you have mastered the secrets of the castle. "

Blushing very deeply now the girl says "Ah... of course my lord... I would love to"

Verrick looks about a bit to get an idea of what's available. He seems very much a child given free reign in a sweet shop. He looks for a local history of an exciting time or perhaps a rousing bit of adventurous fiction. "Kaleen, this is marvelous thank you for bringing me here. I enjoy reading about the history of places I visit. What sort of books and stories do you like?"

Many of the books are historical (local and the much of the rest of the known world, a number of works on the Greyhawk Wars seem to be the most popular with the other people in here right now), scientific (lots of different Lore about nature, monstrous, humanoids, etc, Theory study on religion, arcane, planes, etc. Alchemy, Armor and Weapon lore and production, etc.; ie. mostly Craft and Knowledge based, all could give you a bonus to the skill roll when using them), and some novels that are semi-fictional accounts of tales, pretty much anything one would think and then some extra ones to boot. Kaleen bushes some more and says “Well there are some novelized romantic tales of the Bard-Kings that I particularly enjoy… they are so exciting and lead such fascinating lives…”

Wandering a bit, Geenaa comes upon a small group of local militia that is training and excising in one of the side courtyard (just off the main one). There are about 10 men and woman, dressed mostly in chainmail and armed with wooden spears and sword, sparing and practicing their art. The leader, a gruff looking sergeant that looks like an overgrown dwarf says “Well now, iffin ye want to get all banged up before the ball and such, be my guest. There be any number of practice weapons over der” he points to a neatly stacked row “Hmm now, ye be a bit a small lash, so ye have yer choice of Thame over there…” again pointing, this time towards young male human, with a easy grin “Or we can set ye up with Hergen here…” this time pointing to a large human woman, built more like a man, with a homely round face…. although her eyes are kind and gentle.

Smirking at Noss, "Yes Noss, I would like that a great deal, please do try to arrange that...find me when you have finished.

Some time later, Noss does indeed find Defrel and directs him toward the main courtyard. There a small cart is being packed up by a dark haired dwarf. Noss introduces him as "Volegrim, son of Stennell of the Good Hills"

The dwarf looks Defrel up and down and finally says “So ye had that fancy staff and be a looking to unload it aye? A spear of masterwork quality fer trade… well the staff looks to have been made by some half-blind, toothless elf grandmother, so I’m not to sure I could get rid of it right away… except maybe to a elf… but I hate to see a man be without a real weapons so I could see it in my heart to get you a half-spear of the quality ye be a talking about for 30 gold crowns.”

Geenaa, female human barbarian

Geenaa walks over to the weapons, finally deciding on a heavy flail, or what is closest to it anyway.
Turning towards the young male, she looks im over, then nods approvingly "Yes, I might as well start with him." she says more to herself than to anyone else. Nodding politely to the woman with the kind eyes, as if to say "you're turn will come", she turns towards the young man and gets ready for battle.

we can do a quick mock combat, to sort of show how I am going to do it here...

Generally at the start of combat I will want everyone to will roll and post there Initiative and their action that round. If you are attack, post your result and the damage that you do if you hit. The wooden weapons are going to do 1 point of real damage and then one ‘category’ less of damage as non-lethal (subdual) damage. So a big flail will do 1d8 non-lethal. These excises are rough, but if anyone gets to hurt they will stop.

Thame smiles and readies to attack... and springs forward...

Thame initiative total 8
on his action he will attack with the wooden sword Attack roll total 22, damage 1 point lethal and (1d6+2 non-lethal damage) 4 points non-lethal

 

[Someone]

Norbac, half orc cleric.

After the service, Norbac is relaxing and reflecting by himself for some time, when he hears someone say “My lord… I… execute me if you would… I wish not bother to you, but…”

"Stop the ´lord´ nonsense. You make me feel as if I a noble" says Norbac with a final note of disdain.

“I do not know who these six where my lord, but they will oppose you… you and five companions… a balance I suppose, yet danger and death is all that I feel… I… I am sorry… there is something… something dark and dangerous moving again in the world, and you and your friends have been chosen to oppose it…[/b]”

The girl then retreats back into the castle, even before Norbac has a change to reply…

"Urgh! wait!" But the girl is gone. Norbac shakes his head and, hearing the sounds of fight, goes to see what´s happening.

Lorien, Human Ranger

Lorien first searches to see if there are any survivors who need help. He then scans for information:

1) How long ago was this place attacked?
2) Can he track where the attackers came from?
3) How many attackers were there?
4) Where did they leave to?
5) How many people left the village?
6) How long ago did they leave?
7) Can he discern from the footprints if these were human or humaniods?

(ooc: Track: 19. Spot: 23. Search: 20. Listen: 25 )
