Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

The Green Room

OOC: Since Rook is busy...

Marienna goes after the sobbing woman along with Elizabeth. They speak to her for a moment in hushed tones. Radoon notes Marienna rolling her eyes when the woman isn't looking at her. Soon the woman goes on her way and Marienna and Elizabeth return. Snorting Marienna says some colorful unkind things about the selfish self-absorbed woman.

OOC: You have explored the performer's areas the only exits are onto the stage or into an aisle (the vomitoriam) in the ampetheater. Which way?

"Ragor, you say? Is he still here at Mermaid's Rest? Maybe I can talk to him to find our friend. Are there other people here who might know more about my friend, or who can help you with your departed friend?" Finn puts on the sympathetic uncle demeanor, working to get as much information as possible.
 

Finn's interrogation

"Ragor's still here. He went out to see what all the noise was in the Masque. He'll be back soon. Most of the rest of the people from the boat are at the yard."

"I always wanted to be famous . . . Shall we explore the stage area?"
 


All the world's a stage

Rook, Radoon and the others check out the small backstage area first. It is pretty basic as most of the acts require minimal sets and props. The foot lights are everburning torches with screens that move up and down to vary the light. Soon they wander out on the stage itself. No is performing any more. With the fairly bright lights at your feet it is somewhat difficult to see the dim upper areas of the ampetheater from the stage. Marienna pulls a couple of levers and reduces the light directly in front of the stage, leaving the side lights on. This gives you a pretty good view.

OOC: Spot checks please.
 



All the world's a stage...

For Rook Only [sblock]The undead are mostly human and appear to have been local to the 'Rest in life. In addition to the large group of undead, Rook notices an unusual collection of fellows coming from one of the private rooms upstairs and working their way down toward the concealed door where you encountered the Ogre at the desk and Marienna bluffed your way out. They look like they have been in a fight or two and have weapons in hand. It includes Three men, one a richly clad merchant looking fellow, another in dark green with long blonde hair and a third in the costume of a Rake. There are also two of the Ogre guards as well. The rakish looking fellow seems to be in charge and their is something about him that tugs at Rooks memory...[/sblock]

As Rook and Radoon are looking out from the stage there is a crash as a large group of people, perhaps two dozen come bursting out of a set of double doors well up in the ampetheater. A couple of the remaining patrons in the room scream and begin to run away. Radoon isn't sure what the trouble is, but Marienna cries out, "Gods! So many undead. We must do something!"
 

Rook

For GM Only:

[sblock]Would he happen to remind Rook of a former sailing mate by the name of Michael?[/sblock]

" . . . at that group of people trying to sneak from the private rooms and out the concealed door!"

OOC: Please feel free to read the spoiler for Rook in Scott's last post for a description of the people.
