Heroes, Inc., Day 1: Mysterious Strangers

[frostrune]

"Bloody hell I do not have a bag." Kaarlo goes to find if anyone has a pouch/bag/etc. He offers to pay.

Coming back he scrapes the hair/blood into one pouch, the glitter in another, and takes whatever the assialiant used as a saddle. Lastly he takes a toe/foot/hoof for the drake.

"OK Timrin, do you see anything else we missed?"

"No need for that <indicating the foot>. Fin wanted the entire beast to speak with dead I believe. Obviously we can't move it alone."

An idea seems to strike him and he seeks out the nearest ranking watch officer. "Sir, I am Sir Timrin Goldmantle of the Hidden Shield. Our people were involved in the protection of Lord Peregion and Lady Aleena and we are determined to recover our charge. Some of our company think this dead beast may hold some answers to Lady Aleena's unknown abductor. I humbly request that you remove it intact to a secure area so that our <gesturing to reference both Waterdahvian authorities and the Hidden Shield> priests and wizards have an opportunity to examine it. Can this be done?"


[sblock] Timrin has +19 Diplomacy check, Murdock was aiding me for another +2. How does the Guard Captain respond? [/sblock]

 

[Ranger Rick]

Kaarlo Koskinen rouge

Upon hearing Timrin's word Kaarlo tries to blend in (not hide) with the crowd.

OOC: bluff/intimade (-1) means I am not one to persude anyone.

 

[Falkus]

Dyria will go with the Goran group, as she feels she can be of more use there. She'll keep back, with her hand on her whip dagger, watching for potential ambushes, and any indication that this is a trap.

 

[kirinke]

I wonder what else they 'borrowed'. Alethia thought dryly, hand on her mace, eyes flicking this way and that alert for possible treachery.

Garan tells Fin "We make do. Better not to have anyone aboard who might steal from us?"

Garan take a book out of a drawer and puts it down on a cluttered table. He says:

"I will show you the prophesy, but you will have to buy the spell to bind the demon that follows it. The prophesy is in an ancient and lost language. We know some languages similar to it, so I will give you the gist: It gives today's date by the Mulhorandi reckoning, then says that the Demon Lord Garax was to rise in “The City of Splendors,” where the “Young Star of the Heavens” falls upon the “Guiding Star of the Oceans.” That is all I have about the threat. As to the spell, start offering."

 

[Keia]

Crimson (Female 'Human' Psion) AC:26 HPs: 66 PPs: 145

Crimson looked to Fin, waiting for his signal. He knew that she had Dominate, and would use it on the man if her boss wanted the information. In the meantime, she pulled out a long slender rod of red-tinted crystal and concentrated a moment.

OOC: Dorje of Detect Psionics. How many others are in the room with Goran, Fin, Alethia, Dyria, Shando, and myself?

 

[Hawkeye]

"I can see where this prophecy might relate to the city of Waterdeep, but how does this prophecy relate to us and not to some other group of adventurers in the city or even the Lords of Waterdeep themselves?"

Hawkeye

 

[Falkus]

"Demons? Demons." Dyria said flately, after the statement was made. "This just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?"

 

[DM_Matt]

"I can see where this prophecy might relate to the city of Waterdeep, but how does this prophecy relate to us and not to some other group of adventurers in the city or even the Lords of Waterdeep themselves?"

Hawkeye

"It doesn't refer to any particular adventurers. it refers to a demon that is going to trash this city in a few hours if you don't buy the spell. The opening offer is 50,000gp. [This is compared to the 40,000 of cash savings the company has for operational costs.]'

"Again, why are you selling it to US and not to the Lords of Waterdeep? They certainly have the ability to pay what you want and they are the ones charged with maintaining the safety of the cty and her residents. Why did you come to us with this offer? What other proof do you offer besides a prophecy that you say only you can translate? If what you are saying is true then you are negotiating the price of a rope to a man dangling on the side of a cliff. Furthermore, if you say that you don't have a full translation of this prophecy due to the language, how can you be sure that the spell can work and how can we be sure that we can use it?"

It was the most Shando had said all night long.
