[IC] The Odd Job

[Azurewraith]

Galdar slowly makes his way down the dark passage his eyes darting around at the edge of the cold magical light glowing brightly. Something on one of the walls looks off the masonry seems smoother than the rest and lacks depth.

When they tried lighting a torch again, that strange wind blew it out once more.

“Okay, now that is just not natural,” Hrguch murmured. He drew his greatsword, just in case, but there was little he could do while the others scouted. “Anything else you failed to mention about this little shortcut?” he asked Gheedon. “And what, exactly, are those glowing roots we’re transporting?”

Hearing his name Gheedon looks up from his gold chain"Lllook I know nnnnothinng... the guy frommm the Vermian Empire, hhhe said thatt the passage wwwould cuttt putty the gguard out pposts. The roots are jjjust glowis, you kkknow glowiinnng roott frrrom ttthe Unnderdarrk." The merchants earlier outburst was clearly all bravado as once again he is stammering and tripping over his words.

 

[jmucchiello]

"And why is it important to cut the guard outposts out of the trip?"

 

[Azurewraith]

"Tthe royal guarddd and there tttax"

OOC: the royal guard are a merc group calling themselves the royal guard. They currently have the main trade routes blockaded unless you pay there toll.

 

[jmucchiello]

"Do you see anything, Galdar?"

 

[jonathonhawke]

"The masonry here doesn't look right..." He prods it with his sword.

 

[Azurewraith]

Prodding the "wall" reveals it is another curtain covering 3 small holes in the wall.

 

[jonathonhawke]

Does he see another such curtain on the other side of the passage?

 

[Azurewraith]

Just the one in front of him.
