[QUOTE="scadgrad, post: 1553679, member: 766"] [b]Backstory[/b] [COLOR=SlateGray]Scathach and William had been lucky so far. Sure charm, good jokes and a relatively deep coin purse can get you far, but life on the road had been remarkably good to the two companions. This last turn of events had been indicative of just how fortuitous life can occasionally be. Having came thus to Necrovidia to explore the ancient Mhalyarii ruins, they had gathered a small group of like-minded opportunists and struck out to the south. With the cold winds that blow across the Firth of Kolinkar at their backs, they made their way toward the small village of Abjanzl, therein, to consult with a local witch whose reputation for ancient lore was well known. Along the road, fate once again provided the two with a surprising bounty. A rather large covey of spriggans seemed to be arguing over something. The chance meeting seemed like it would soon escalate into violence w/ both Argento & Jackson drawing steel before the hapless creatures could even react. Before any blows could be struck however, the Sidhe strode forward, his anger directed at these dirty little creatures. Half of the dozen or so spriggans quivered, visibly shaken by this terrible, yet noble creature that they beheld. Another group fled in abject terror leaving only their startled companions and a pungent scent in the warm spring air. Two of the pathetic creatures dropped to their knees in complete terror as the remainder fled the scene. After dispatching the little vermin, for no Seelie court Noble such as Scathach could allow them to live, no matter how pitiful they might seem, the party discovered the source of all of the bickering. A corpse, long dead, but in life, clearly this had been a man of considerable skill at arms. The party searched the body, collected a few items and some coin, and buried the poor fellow. The 53 gold coins and some 27 silver were welcome additions to the group's coffer, but the pattern welded Hudan broadsword with its delicate runes that ran along the length of the blade was an incredible find. Clearly it would fetch a handsome price if sold, but William quickly asserted that it might be too valuable to be swapped for coin or gems. Perhaps the witch in Abjanzl, now a mere 2 days away, could peruse the blade & tell them more. The party may add the following to its coffers: 57 gp worth of coinage a pattern welded Hudan broadsword a pair of matching daggers a large steele shield[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
