Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[DrZombie]

" Good. We'll set up camp there, and I'll go see if my fellows of Heironeous know anything about what's going on here."

Jonas has his bath, a good meal, a shave and a bath, and puts on his polished and cleaned armor, and heads off towards the temple of Heironeous. He's happy to accept anyone coming with him, but he knows conversions take a long time .

Unless any of the party has any objections he'll take the gear of his dead companion with him, to donate to the church.

 

[industrygothica]

The priests at Heironeous's temple happily take Jonas's donations. In return they supply him with 3 potions of cure moderate wounds and a scroll of bull's strength.

"Heironeous has great plans for you," says one of them. "Do not take his gifts for granted."

Jonas asks for information about the Hanging Harpy and the priests sadly tell you nothing much more than you already knew.

"Loddie was in debt to a terrible man when his payment came due. His disappearance is certainly not accidental, and it appears that his girl has been working it off for him at that... place. Rumor has it that the old man sent a group to collect something, and to bring it back here for payment, but I fear even that may be too late. Duran has fallen silent. If something unforeseen has happened to him, then I fear that the girl may never see her father again."

"What's that? You were the ones hired? Well then, you've certainly got your work cut out for you now that you've returned. The strange noises coming from the sewers, the alchemists's and Loddie's disappearance--they're all related somehow, I believe. Where to start? Well, that's for you to decide."

Rogash

In response to Friadoc's information Rogash tells his own tale. "It seems that Duran and his people are based out of a place called Whitestone Manor or just 'The Manor'. Word on the streets is that they haven't been very active and that their scared, though the watch things their up to something. Either way very interesting." He considers, "I'm game to approach the others, we could use some allies. I'd also like to get a look at this 'Whitestone Manor'."

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

"Oh, sorry for interupting," says Friadoc with a nod and a smile. "But, I couldn't help but overhear your comment." With a wry chuckle, the halfling adds, "The name's Friadoc, of Chat'An."

The big man smiles. "I'm Shai," he says. Then he pats the head of a rough looking wolf in chain barding. At the touch, the wolf sits easily, all threat gone as its tongue lolls out. "This is Dyspeer."

The smile fades, though, as the news of Vardi's disappearance sinks in. "Seems we can't go anywhere these days without folks losin' family and friends."

Rokelsh continues trying to find a thief...
*Search +0 ?*

 

[Mista Collins]

The doors open to the inn as a woman dressed in traveller's gear walks in. Her cloak is fairly dusty and her hair tangled. She appraoches the bartender and seems to be booking a room and a bath. Coin is exchanged and she heads upstairs.

An hour later she comes back down stairs free of dust from her travels, but her hair still seems tangled and this time damp. She sits at one of the tables with an empty book in front of her and starts writing in it. She seems oblivous to everything else going on in the inn, even her own drink she ordered as it grows warm.

Rokelsh walks the streets in search for a thief. Since there are no signs on any doors advertising such, he has to do it the hard way, looking in alleyways and in dark niches. Unfortunately, his efforts prove futile, until a thought occurs to him:

Perhaps the best way to find a thief is to make a thief find you.

Okay, maybe I'm confused, but isn't the Hanging Harpy closed? That's Vardi's inn, right?

Mista Collins, did you mean to post that you were in the inn (chuckles, nice), that the others are gathering at and that Friadoc, Rokelsh, and Rogash are staying?

OOC: i was confused. thought IG's post (#120) was in reference to the name of the place you guys were staying.

So, on with the action...

Jonas is at the temple. Tanith, and I assume Shai are at the as-yet-unnamed inn. The others are out seeing what sort of information there is to gather.

Seems it may be time for a gathering of the minds to determine the next step.
