Island Empire, Part III, The Lich's Curse

Gnurl Whiskerling

The halfling behind the desk scratches an ear absently as he considers, "Well, such items are generally not available on the open market; however, I've heard that Razlebash Emberglow has been known to offer such things at his Curiosity shop. Emberglow's Curious Notions. It is in an old tower on the West March hill near Westgate." He smiles, "What sort of wizard do you have need of? There are several to be found in the city. I know a woman of great skill who is a Diviner if you've lost something or there is old Bartleman who can be found reading poetry most days at the public library. He's really quite an accomplished spellcaster, but he prefers a simple life of reading and contemplation. Present him with an interesting challenge and you might just draw him out of his revere. Now Camron Crumblecake is a halfling lad and Transmuter with a fine reputation."

"Thank you very much, my good halfling! You have already been most helpful." After saying this, Gnurl will be off to Emberglow's Curious Notions, to see what can be found there, if anything. While Gnurl is making his way there, he will be trying to come up with some kind of puzzle, or riddle, or some actual mystery from his most recent adventure with which to dazzle "old" Bartleman..... If the Curiosity shop doesn't pan out, or probably even if it does, his next stop will be at the poetry section of the public library.

Gnurl soon discovers it will be quite a walk out to Emberglow's on his short legs. He notes that many people travel the streets in small cabs powered by a team of dogs and typically driven by a halfling.

For Geoffrey

Nathan produces and inventory with suggested additions to the mundane stores and then moves to make out a schedule of watches and liberties for the next couple of days.

Gnurl soon discovers it will be quite a walk out to Emberglow's on his short legs. He notes that many people travel the streets in small cabs powered by a team of dogs and typically driven by a halfling.

Gnurl will watch carefully to see if there is some particular place where these cabs pick up new passengers, or if the drivers merely respond to hails from would-be passengers. And then he will either find such a pick-up point, or bench, or stand, or whatever it is, or else he will simply hail an available cab that passes. But, he won't take the first that answers his hail, nor the second. He will watch carefully to make sure that the third one is not, in fact, the first cab that answered, which has merely been circling him like a vulture. If this is the case, Gnurl will flee as fast as he can back to the CrestDancer!!

Gnurl

The gnome discovers a row of such transportation outside a beer garden next to a large hotel. They seem to be waiting for fares. The drivers are waiting in a line and take turns so if Gnurl insists on one further back in line he will cause trouble.

When in Rome....

Gnurl Whiskerling

"First things, first," thinks Gurl. He will duck back into the inn and get 20 cp for 2 silvers.

Gnurl sees the local set-up, and he is willing to play along. He'll go to the first cab like a good little wizard, and inquire as to the fare to get to Emberglow's Curious Notions.

OOC: MEMORY AID: after Razlebash Emberglow's, Gnurl is planning to go to the public library to look for "old" Bartleman.

 

[Scotley]

Inquiries about a fare.

6 coppers will get Gnurl out to Emberglows or a silver for a round trip if the wait is less than 30 min. After that he'll need to pay full price each way and odds of finding a cab quickly out there vary from just below slim to just better than none. At least that's the way the halfling cabby tells it.

Radoon

Radoon will make haste to be back to room 123 by 10. On his way, he will try and recall if the rooms had vases and if not, he will ask at the front desk if they have one to spare. He will also keep an eye out for some candles on either the walk home or will ask at the front desk for these as well.

By 10, he will be ready, showered, shaved and in some nice clothes.

Like Geoffry, Radoon will begin preparing a list of needed supplies as he waits for M.

 

[Scotley]

Room 123

OOC: The helpful staff at the front desk are happy to provide candles, vases and so on. Of course they expect to be tipped well for such services, especially when time is of the essence...

Radoon finds himself sitting on the sofa in the front room of Marienna's suite with paper and quill making a list just a ten, when a knock comes at the door.

 

[mleibrock]

Radoon

Of course Radoon would tip the helpful staff, especially when they come through such as this, a GP should do.


OOC - Scott, I am unsure if they provided me the candles and vase before now or if the knock is possibly the staff with these items.

If Radoon did not have the items upon entering the room, he will check the peephole and if it is the staff, he will answer and tip a GP. I am assuming this would be a generous tip. If not, he will tip accordingly.

If Radoon already has the items and is awaiting M. - Surprised by the knock, Radoon will remain quiet for the moment - it is not his room after all.
