Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

[Scotley]

The Standoff

Addressing Radoon. "Very well sir, my name is Mage Elizabeth Winterfold of the Shield Arm. My companions are Dame Valerie Deergood, Sir Bain Tillbury and Sir Arthur Windfold. These fellows that accompany me are Sir Bain's brother Rodney and my cousin Loris." She makes an expansive gesture at her companions, "We would be most greatful for your help." Marienna pulls out a couple of potions and hands them to Rook and Radoon. Tapping them with one of her own she says, "bottoms up. Might as well get our strength up if we are going back in."

OOC: Potions of Cure light wounds good for 1d8+3. Actions?

potion (1d8+3=8)

"Salute". As soon as everyone is ready, we will begin to make our way against the crowd. I will watch the ground as we go and pick up any loose daggers I may see laying around. I know it is a long shot but maybe in the hurry to leave, some folks could have dropped their single allowed weapon.

Radoon will keep up the conversation as best he can with Elizabeth, trying to find out how they came to be at the party and who is missing.

Rook

Potion (Cure Light Wounds) (1d8+3=6)

"A pleasure, ladies, gentlemen. Shall we explore a bit?"

Rook will keep an eye out for bata/Belaying Pins (with the nautical theme, surely there are some of these around?) as well as daggers. If he spots daggers, he'll give them to Radoon.

The Standoff

Rook glances about for a suitable weapon. His eyes immediately fall on the fallen Ogre's greatclub. The thing is a massive tree trunk (large greatclub) and not exactly a light weapon. He muses that given time he could whittle a half dozen bata and a quarterstaff from it. He notes that a couple of men in the crowd have belaying pins or clubs tucked into belts. Perhaps he could talk someone into parting with one?

"Hey, were are my daggers?"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Rook

Rook moves quickly toward one of the men with belaying pins. Putting a strong sense of urgency into his voice, he says:

"Quick, man, my companions and I believe we can stop this madness and insure that everyone gets topside safely, but I need weapons. Those belaying pins should do well enough! No time to waste -- let me borrow them and I'll get them back to you a quickly as I can!"

At the gondolas

While Radoon searches in vain for a dagger, Rook manages to talk a pair of intoxicated sailors out of their belaying pins. There remains a press of people waiting for someone to put the gondolas back in service. From here the only ways to go are back up on the gondola or press through the waiting people to the casino, ampetheater, private rooms and back areas as yet unexplored.

OOC: What now?

Morwyn

OOC: Sorry for the delay; last minute trip. I'm also travelling tomorrow and Thursday; not sure how much internet access I'll have.

IC: "Mr. Finn, will you please see what information you can get out of this individual as to the layout of this barge, any opponents we might face, any word of Allois; you know the drill." In the meantime, I'll search the room. I'll also search the bodies, but only to the extent allowed by the survivor, as I don't want to have to take any additional unnecessary risks.

OOC: I'll take 20 on the search for a result of 18, with my penalties.
