[IC] The Trouble at Durbenford

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Padraig, Male Human Veteran (Fighter)

"Any objections?" he asks the last of his companions.

"None from me, friend." Then, turning to Helen, "A pleasure to make your aquaintance, Lady Dunsreisch, though it's too bad it couldn't have been under better circumstances. I believe you will find my companions and me a capable group, and quite interested in opportunities for employment...especially if they serve the common good and are likely to lead to adventurous times," he adds.

To the rest of the group, "I wonder what Ruathen will make of this. Half a day behind and he misses a rousing fight with a monumental vine, meeting a beautiful lady, and finding opportunity for adventure--Ha!"

Zagnak nods absently as he examines the remnants of the Plant-creature.

" Any objections?" he asks the last of his companions.

"You know I'm not going to object at a chance for high adventure," Gil says with a smile. He takes the lady's hand and introduces himself. "Little Gil Riprock, m'lady, at your service," he says, trying to outdo the bard's masterful bow but failing miserably at it. With a wink towards Konstantine he then adds, "They call me 'little' because I'm the handsome one."

"I'm delighted to here it," she says. "I don't know that I can promise a meeting with my employer directly, but I will speak with him and return to see you as soon as possible. Where can I find you?"

With you answer, she excuses herself with a wave, "Thank you once again. I will find you soon I'm sure."

 

[Dichotomy]

"Ah, very good then. You can find us at the Ox and Hammer. Simply ask around. I imagine that by tomorrow the local patrons will remember us."

Konstatine adds with a beaming smile, "In fact, should you wish, you may want to stop by this evening. I hear that they should have good entertainment tonight..."

After she excuses herself, the bard again turns to his allies. "In the meantime, I'd say we should return for that drink. In fact, I haven't even started mine yet. I found out some interesting tidbits during my initial foray into the area that you may like to hear."

 

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

Padraig looks around to see if he can find any of the arrows he shot that missed and may still be useful, then heads back to the Ox & Hammer with the rest of the group.

ooc: no info from Knowledge Nature then?

 

[TiCaudata]

Jasper watches everything with detachment and follows everyone back to finish the first round. "I suppose we can stick around this town for a couple days or so. May try and convince the governor on a city beautification project. Vines that can move themselves don't sound like too good of a time to me."

[sblock=ooc]How about healing results too?[/sblock]

"In the meantime, I'd say we should return for that drink. In fact, I haven't even started mine yet. I found out some interesting tidbits during my initial foray into the area that you may like to hear."

Gil perks up. "Ooo, what'd you find? I saw a Halfling that juggled daggers. Five at a time! And then he breathed fire, and swallowed a sword, and made flowers appear out of nowhere! He seemed upset when I didn't have any coin to give him, though."

The heroes return to the Ox and Hammer to resume their restful evening, and are cheered along the way by a few peasants who have already heard of their defeating the assassin vine. When they enter the establishment, Konstantine is most likely disappointed to see that another performer has already taken the stage. A beautiful woman, she has long honey blond hair, deep sapphire eyes, high eyebrows, and exotic features. She plays a beautifully carved lute and the songs she plays have already stolen the hearts of none to few of her audience judging by the looks on their faces.

Having been directed there by a helpful barmaid, Ruathen waits at your table, guarding the drinks you left behind.

[sblock=ooc]Padraig is healed 13hp, Jasper 28. Healing Helen takes 2 charges.

1 of Padraig's arrows is recoverable.

Sorry about missing the Knowledge Nature there - what you know is pretty much summed up in the information given when you encountered it. It's a carnivorous plant, can move, but very slowly. It's pretty clear it doesn't belong in a city, but there certainly isn't an epidemic of them or anything, as the townsfolk would all be dead if there were.[/sblock]
