OOC: Hi everyone, I'm back to civilization... or at least a computer

I've tried to read and catch up so rather than try to respond to questions that have long since been moved past, I'll just sort of pick up with Timrin in a deep depression.

Couple things...

1) That big half-demon minotaur took Aleena's soul. It's stored in a gem in his armor, or perhaps worse, been transferred to Chronos by now.

2) That fight in the square with the Kossuth cultists and Rakshasa was very confusing to me. Did Timrin take 50+ points of damage from spells before he killed the wizard? Did he then take another 130 hp from a Rakshasa or did he DO 130 hp damage to a rakshasa? If Timrin took the damage he would have been down on the deck and squarely in the infirmary with the rest of the crew. Just looking for some clarification so I know how to re-introduce him.

Well, Naverone is plotting Cronos' demise as we speak and Alethia has asked Beorn to see about having a forgery of the Namer's trap-the-soul gem created. If at all possible, we could be seeing an exchange of soul gems. Although Naverone is hoping that the possible forgery has a few lethal additives.... All up in the air mind.

Oops, yeah, he IS down. That would put him @ -29, with him dying at -34, though the Rak would hav enot made his last attack bc timrin was already down and he'd rather have the extra movement, so he'd have been @ -15. Timrin is stabilized, taken to the infirmiry, and is in decent condition by the next evening.

That evening, the drugs beginning to wear off, Alethia opens her eyes to find Beor sitting by her bed. He says "How ya feeling? I have some good news for you: Selune and Mystra have aceeded to our request. They will provide a counterfeit gem."

 

[kirinke]

Alethia grinned as a burst of what could be called hope flickers through her. Her plan might have a chance afterall. "Keep it safe for now and act like it's the real thing. We want Cronos to think we still have the original." she said somewhat fuzzily.

"Thank you...." she whispered to the goddesses in question.

 

[frostrune]

Timrin lurches awake as if startled from a fevered dream. He stifles a groan as searing pain fully brings him to conciousness from his sudden movement.

His shoulders sag. So it wasn't a nightmare after all. It was real.

He looks sadly about the room. Junior members scurry about talking quietly. He sees Dyria, Alethia, and Maggie; and a few others he does not immediately recognize. Probably a spill over from some of the wounded nobility and their entourage, he thinks.

He glances over at the shredded and bloodied remains of his dress uniform and thinks back on the night. Much of that blood is Lady Aleena's... or Maggie's. His heart was full of rage, of sorrow. He had flung himself headlong into the fight with the Rakshasa with no plan; almost seeking death. He had nearly gotten his wish.

A junior officer now noticed he was awake and rushed over.

"Welcome back Sir," he asked, "How are you feeling?"

Terrible, Timrin thinks but he responds, "Better, thanks for asking. How are the others?"

"Dyria is recovering well, as is Alethia. Murdock and Shando are busy with the prisoners. Lt. Commander Kiran remains in dire shape. Her wounds are so grave she is currently beyond any of our healers. Several of the others embassadors or City leaders were attacked last night as well. We are still assessing all the damage."

"Lady Aleena is dead and her soul has been stolen much like her father. Others have been killed as well. Things look bad Sir."

"We will persevere," Timrin says calmly. His own thoughts are less than reassurring however. He wants to be left alone.

"I think I need some more rest. Please do me a favor and find out how the Tethyrian embassador fared."

As he begins to move away Timrin says "You have my thanks", before slumping back down in bed.

 

[Hawkeye]

(There were a lot more than just these guys. These were just the ones YOU ran into)

"The prophesy no, but the book, yes. However, much knowledge of the book's contents were lost when the monestary was destroyed."

"I can understand faith and following your religious texts, though I do not condone your actions. Are you sure that this text was the genunie article? Did you know the Thayvians that attacked the Lady Aleena tonight?'

Don't loose hope yet my friend. We may have a way of getting Aleena's soul back and at the same time, striking at Cronos himself. the demon whispered in Timrin's mind, giving him the details of the namer's forged soul gem. It has a solid chance of working. Naverone added.

ooc:
Naverone is hoping to make an exchange. The forgery soul-gem for Aleena's soul. If that doesn't work, he's going to finagle a way for the bad-guys to 'happen' upon it and take it back to Cronos. He's also hoping that the Selune and Mystra have also added a few lethal parting gifts as well. Keyed to Cronos of course

When and if they get Aleena's soul back, tis best to keep from touching it directly. Cronos may have booby-trapped it much in the same way as Naverone hopes the soul gem is trapped. (Sneaky, aren't they?)

I suppose I should be thankful to hear your voice, Timrin expresses bitterly. How bad are we really, he mentally asks.

 

[kirinke]

Naverone tells him everything with brutal honesty, leaving nothing out, figuring that the more the paladin knows, the better Timrin will be able to help him plan a counterattack. He also includes the information from Murdoch's encounter with the 'Deciever of Decievers'.

These cat creatures are most likely Raksashas. Evil spirits who can assume the visage of specific personages. It seems more and more likely that Aiden is one of these things, if not Raku himself. Laurel is most likely either an imposter or bespelled. Once we get the 'Deciever's' measure, he may prove useful. Any ideas? he asks finally.

The demon also tells Alethia that Timrin is awake. Tell him that as soon as I have recovered, I will pray for divine guidance. That might help some as well she told Naverone.It's time to take the fight to them instead of reacting to what they inflict upon us.

She looked at Beorn. "Please help me up. I need to speak with Timrin,"
