Heroes, Inc., Day 1: Mysterious Strangers

[DM_Matt]

Timrin does indeed move forward with Fin and Alethia but not without a last remark to Aiden, his anger apparently not quite spent.

"Noble you may be but title does not place you above responsibility for your actions. I'm certain there are protocols for a force of your size to safely approach without rousing the entirity of Waterdeep's navy and skyguard. If those rules were followed Lord Peregion would not have been forced from his party and ambushed. Men died because rules were broken. I'm sure their families will be comforted you arrived in grand fashion."

Those last remarks are said over his shoulder purposely dismissive. His full atention is directly toward Lady Aleena and her wounds.

[sblock] I have at least 5 charges on my CLW wand to offer her. He will hesitate for just a moment as Fin casts his healing spell, concentrating on detecting evil on Aleena. Her original captor was never here and how do we know she isn't a shapeshifter? One can never be too careful with demons [/sblock]

OOC: Peregion had a couple normal guards that were killed in that 1st ambush, right? If not scratch that comment and replace it with a hard look.

No. The fact that he left the party in a hurry meant that his usual police details DIDNT come with. Only you guys did. The need to check out Aiden's arrival spared the weaker guards who would have been killed in the attack. Aleena's driver was killed and some police were badly injured in that attack, but that had nothing to do with Aiden whatsoever.

Alethia moves Aleena off the lens as everyone crowds around to poke her with wands. Everyone gets a heal in. Her arms stop bleeding and the head wound shrinks into a small bump.

She opens her eyes about half way and tries to start talking. Her words are slow and a bit slurred, but you understand her fine. "Woooah...thsat driver is shooo dead. Gotsch ta watsch where he's goin' better."

"I have the awful feeling," Fin says quietly to Timrin, away from Aleena, "that all of this went down pretty much according to Kurin's plan. Somehow, that bone was a goal for him tonight. He arranged for us to find the ritual, after all."

"I don't know what it's all about yet, but it isn't over."

Alethia smiles, a bit sadly. "You're safe for the moment, don't try to talk just yet," she says, fishing in her bag of holding for a waterskin and letting Aleena drink a little of the water. "Small sips at first," she warns.

"I have the awful feeling," Fin says quietly to Timrin, away from Aleena, "that all of this went down pretty much according to Kurin's plan. Somehow, that bone was a goal for him tonight. He arranged for us to find the ritual, after all."

"I don't know what it's all about yet, but it isn't over."

"Unfortunately, I couldn't agree more. That first ambush was meant to wound him <touching his left bicep>, this last was meant to take that bone. The Lady (indicating Aleena) may have simply been bait. There may be no demon after all."

He pitches his voice to a whisper before continuing, "That false prophecy still predicted Aiden's arrival (star of the ocean). I detect no evil on him but I do not trust him."

 

[Ranger Rick]

Kaarlo stands around looking dumbly as well as trying to keep out of everyone's way as they try to heal the injured.

But in his stand arounding state Kaarlo is watching everyone and trying to pick up more clues as he feels that this battle site is like a crime scene.

"Aleena, do you remember your captors saying anything? Any information will be useful," Alethia says, hating to have to ask her that question and causing her additional stress, but it was important she ask now, while the girl's memory was fresh, instead of later.

Aleena has trouble finding her mouth with the waterskin, but finally manages to drink the water. "Whaaat??" Aleena is clearly quite confused. The carriage crashed, and...uh...did yous give me somethin for the pain? Whatevers it is, I shink, it gave me some weird dreams."

 

[kirinke]

"Tell me about those dreams," Alethia asked gently, keeping her focused.

Concussion. Have to keep her awake. she thought, fishing out her cure light wounds wand and giving her another 'zap' for good measure.

The zap further helps the apparent wounds but doesn't make her any more coherent.

"Don't remember...like normal dreams...like...memories, images...flashes, not details"
