Heroes, Inc., Day 2: Goldenight

[DM_Matt]

Assuming we can transport Kiran, I'd like to have her present too... if she's allowed out of the infirmary yet.

Once everyone's ensconced beneath Castle Waterdeep, Fin clears his throat.

"Zarun has offered us a ship to transport us to the Inner Sea. But I echo Lady Aleena's misgivings about the man, and I believe I'm not the only one. If we go to Sarkon, I'd prefer to be in control of our own transportation, and I'd prefer to move faster than a ship travels, and I'd prefer not to be beholden to Zarun for anything. We can Wind Walk or Teleport to Mulhorand without involving him at all, for example. There's also the opportunity to confound our enemies who may be watching... if Lady Aleena were to provide a Screen or False Vision that maintained a semblance of our presence aboard Zarun's ship, while we teleported to Sarkon directly, it could perhaps buy us a window of freedom to act unobserved until the deception was unravelled."[/color]"

Aleena speaks up. Exploring without a base of operations is dangerous. Perhaps I can arrange for only minimal presense by Zarun's men. I can probably convince the navy to spare some crew as "represetatives of the city," and I'm pretty sure Lt Kiran here is qualified to pilot the thing. (turns to her.) You are, are you not. Kiran perks up "Yes. Well, not at the moment. Tomarrow maybe though."

(So now what? Wanna play 20 (14?) Questions? Or. to save time, I'll tell you that COmmune will say that its better for the group to go together to check out the island.)

OOC: Fast-forward works for me. Perhaps you can say we all had a vision or something. That would preclude the need for a commune and get us moving? Just an idea.

BTW - does the sword have a name?

...Dyria thought for a moment. "We should try extending a few lines of inquiry through the cities' underworld. All the assassins from last night were probably just thugs, but somebody might something."

Kaarlo replies, "I can go and see what I can find out. It might take me a while though. I could go while you all commune with a god to decide to stay or go."

Gather Information +12

Gather Information +12

(No apparent connections amoung them. However, Dyria found out from the one Durodan caught that he was tolkd to go there and kill whoever he sees. It looks like almost everyone at the ship killed eachother. There are persistant rumors that a necromancer is behind this, since more were killed by magical energy and death magic than any other cause, there were no mages among the dead, and all had some sor tof soul-sucking thing done to them, though sometimes just after they died or as they were dying)

He wonders that while holding the swrod, and the name "Zura's Bane, of The Mighty and Cunning Sobek's Adaptive Baneswords" pops into his head.

 

[DM_Matt]

(So now what will you do?)

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
The vision thingie might be best. Specially if it were Timmy or Alethia. They might be the ones most likely affected by such a thing.

When applicable I come back to the group and pass on this information reeking of whiskey & rye. (slight of hand to appear drinking, but actually dribbling (pouring) it away so it looks like I am keeping up with the many drink rounds that are purchased.

Timrin sits deep in thought for a moment, apparently calculating his words before responding. He tries to sound non-confrontational as he questions their employer.

"Lady Aleena, I am not terribly familiar with the geography of Faerun, but how are we to 'sail' to Mulhorand? Isn't it on the Sea of Fallen Stars somewhere?"

"Secondly, it seems like it would take an incredibly long time. I appreciate your concerns about exploring without a ship as our base, but we are adventurers. I'm sure I can safely say we have each been in this ugly situation before. If there are magical gates or a means for us to teleport nearby it seems that would save a huge ammount of time. As you can tell we are already loath to 'abandon' our charges and this City during a time of crisis. The sooner we can get there and back seems the better course even if it is more dangerous."
