Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

[Scotley]

Rogash

After drinking a prodigious amount of water in hopes of reducing the severity of his impending hangover, Rogash suggests, "Let's get out on the streets and see if we can find a fellow or two who might be able to give us more information about the local guild."

 

[Jemal]

"And what sort of negotiations would you suggest? I'm not all that comfortable in cities, so I prefer not to spend as much time in them. As such, I know little of what makes people in the city share information. Words, Force, Money? Er.. we don't exactly have a lot of the latter, but we're plentifully resourced of the first two."

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

"I think words and force will have to do, perhaps with a wee draught of strong drink added in for good measure, though I must say this morning the thought of a drink does my stomach no favors."

 

[Friadoc]

"We might want to try money, too," Friadoc suggest. "It'd do us little favor to have the guild after us this early in the game."

With that said, Friadoc reached into one of the pouches on his haversack and will some gold into his palm.

Turning, he then hands four gold pieces to both men as he says, "I suggest hitting a money changer and having those turned into silver and copper pieces."

"Try and stay low, since just a few silver is man families weekly wage," adds Friadoc. "Also, keep our intentions vague, although I'm sure the guild will get why we're asking about the poppin' jay, it gives them some deniability."

"Lastly," finishes Friadoc. "I saw we meet ever couple of hours, that way we know if any of us are in trouble and we'll have a good idea where that trouble was, too."

"Does that sound okay to you both?" Friadoc askes of the two, larger people here.

 

[Jemal]

"Works for me." Rokelsh Nodded. "Where would you suggest I start?"

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

"I have no objection to working alone if you think we'll attract too much attention together. I suppose after the show Rokelsh and I put on last night we'd best not be seen as fast friends about town." He runs his fingers through his hair considering. "One of us should start in the area of the shuttered Hanging Harpy. You want to go there?"

 

[Friadoc]

"I'd make a suggestion," says Friadoc with a shrug. "But, I'm not from Irongate..."

"Although if you were to look for things like..." Friadoc will give the men a brief outline of things and signs to look for, he won't teach them Thieves Cant, persay, but he'll give them a rough enough idea on what might clue them in on a person or place of interest.

OOC

Basically, it might give their Gather Informations, or Spots a +2 circumstancial bonus, but that's up to IG.

[sblock=ooc]It might, but I wouldn't bet on it. [/sblock]

The next morning you gather gear and head back to Irongate, arriving at midday. You first stop is at the Hanging Harpy to deliver the nuts to Loddie, and perhaps get an explanation in return. After all, one of yours was lost in the endeavor, so an explanation as to why is most definately justified.

Tanith and Jonas lead the way to the Harpy, while Shai's eyes are filled with wanderlust. The Hanging Harpy is just around the corner.

Tanith Dathius, Jonas Cleighton, and Shaimon Hu'u, with his faithful wolf Dyspeer approach the Hanging Harpy expecting some answers, and at the very least a good meal. Jonas remembers the sun shining through the easter window early in the morning and highlighting the beautiful Varid's just so, and was looking forward to the sight once more. Even Tanith wouldn't mind a bite of fine breakfast at the Harpy either.

The trio is a bit suprised, however, when they finally reach the Hanging Harpy to notice that the doors and windows are barred. A hand-written message is scawled across the door that reads simply "Out of Business."
------------------

Friadoc passes his advise to the others, though it's nothing that the dwarf Rogash hadn't already known. Rokelsh had taken it under advisement, though with his size, he may be better suited to intimidation. Of course, that may lead to an intervention by the authorities as well, so the group wasn't too hopeful of gathering any information through Rokelsh. Nonetheless, he vowed to do what he could.

The trio agree that they will go their separate ways and see what they see, and the that Halfling Friadoc will start at the Hanging Harpy. They'll meet back at the inn in a few hours for what was supposed to be lunch, but will surely be supper after their unintended late start.
With that, the trio go about their business.

Friadoc arrives at the sight of the Hanging Harpy and isn't surprised to see it boarded up. A trio of humans stand at the front door reading the script scrawled across it. The halfling notices a look--a mixture of anger and concern--appear their faces, or at least two of them; the largest of them looks a bit clueless.

[sblock=ooc]This is the OOC thread we'll be using from now on.[/sblock]

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

The trio is a bit suprised, however, when they finally reach the Hanging Harpy to notice that the doors and windows are barred. A hand-written message is scawled across the door that reads simply "Out of Business."

Shai looks about, his stare a bit blank. He taps lightly on the boarded up window, saying, "This wasn't how they decorated before, I guess?" He screws up his face, looking a bit embarrassed. "I suppose it did take us longer than you expected to find those nuts..."


[sblock=OOC]I know we took on her CLW wand, but are we dividing / selling all of Courage's equipment, or are we assumed to bury it with her? I've no real need to scavenge the body of a dead party member (rather the opposite), but I figure we have, by now, buried her (her player having fallen absent, I assume we aren't looking for a Raise Dead), so we should probably figure out the logistics now rather than when we're in a tight spot and need a more immediate answer.

Aslo, IG, I posted to the OOC thread re: levelling. No rush there, either, as I assume there'll be some level of RP to set up the next plot hook.[/sblock]
