Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

[Fenris]

Jovik chuckled "And if Danth silver tongue fails, I can bold face lie our way out. And if THAT fails, you my Shoanti friend can simple hold up the head of that scarecrow downstairs and that shoudl frighten anyone away. But ask that bird to give you directions or a landmark at least before we set it free, that elf seemed rather well off" says Jovik with a twinkle in his eye.

"Heh," Jokad snorts, "I suppose a little of his ill-gotten loot would be quite helpful."

before the spell expires he turns to ask the bird for directions and landmarks so that we may find Ironbriar's house.

"and a lot of his ill-gotten gains would go far to alleviate the suffering he brought, to us and others. I think the orphanage ought to get a share of anything from his house Danth, what say you?"

 

[Rhun]

Danth smiles. "You'll get no argument from me. It is hard enough to keep the orphanage running as it is."

 

[hewligan]

OOC: I have arrived back, but a network issue that I have just resolved after several hours of trying has meant that there will not be a proper post tonight.

The bird will be able to impart basic directions to Jokad - certainly enough to find the house of Ironbriar, especially given that Jovik could squeeze some extra info/directions out of people using his silver tongue if required.

Can I take it that you want to wait to night-fall (quite a long time to coop up with a corpse and a rather maudlin dog), or do you want to head out now?

As for items: spear, mask, coin, her snakeskin tunic, perhaps the scythe and the cloak from the scarecrow if you are interested in it, and that is about it. Not a lot of treasure from here, but you have that very important list of names...

After collecting any valuables, and making their way (carefully!) back down stairs, Danth peeks out the door of the place in an attempt to ascertain if the ruckus had drawn any attention to the tower.

 

[hewligan]

Several people stand around, watching the tower. A tavern a few doors along from the old clocktower has about a half dozen people standing at the doorway, idly smoking, as they too talk amongst themselves and watch the tower. Clearly the noise of the falling bell, and perhaps battle, has reached the streets.

A couple of youths, a thin girl of about 15 and a younger, smaller boy, have crept close to the entrance, and stand about 2 or 3 feet away from you as you peek out. It looks like they were just plucking up the courage to peek inside.

When they see you they shriek and run. This certainly perks everyone who is watching up. Conversations stop, and nervous hands move to hidden blades.

 

[frostrune]

Jokad sort of smiles, but sobers immediately remembering the bundle he has is his arms <Kael>. "C'mon boys. They know something is up. We wait around much longer and the watch is sure to show. I bet they knew there were some monsters in here. Might do those poor folks out there some good to see the blazing yellow tabard of Sarenrae emerge victorious."

"We got nothin' to be ashamed of. Let's shine it on and walk on outta here."

"Word will spread and they will know who we are soon enough. Let evil men quake and the few good know they have hope."

"Lead on, Father Danth."



OOC: If I failed to mention this before Jokad wants to sift through the rubble and hopefully reclaim his magic sword. Hopefully it is not broken.

 

[hewligan]

Jokad's sword is fine. He finds it lying under a pile of dislodged stones that fell from the new rent high in the wall of the tower where the bell struck. The blade is dirtied, but still sharp and sound.

 

[Rhun]

Danth boldly pushes the door open, and leads his companions out of the clocktower. While his blade is sheathed, he bears his painted shield proudly, displaying the holy symbol of Sarenae upon it for all to see. "Come my friends," he says to his companions.
