Island Empire, Part IV To face the Lich

Radoon

She smiles another broad smile that somehow makes you feel you haven't a care in the world. "Very well, why don't we talk in my office?" She leads you past a bored looking guard wearing a suit of armor so heavy you think it unlikely he could move, much less defend the temple. A couple of doors down she leads you into an office furnished with simple by comfortable and tasteful pieces. She motions Radoon to a long low divan and sits next to him an arms length away. "I am sorry for my haste this morning, but I had only a little time to spare before I was expected to lead a service. I hope you understand."

OOC - Scott, I don't recall her name.

"Of course I understand. You are very good at what you do and as a result very busy indeed. I do not want to take up much of your valuable time, so here goes... My name is Radoon and I have been a sailor most of my days. I have recently found a woman who I'm interested in making a life with but I must first finish the task we have before us, which is no easy one... we need to banish the Sea Sorcerer. After you healed me this morning, it reminded me of my "M" who is also gifted in the art of healing though not as advanced as you. I come to you asking if you might have an item of protection that might help us complete our task and journey home so that I might live out my days experiencing love for the first time in my life. In exchange for this, I am willing to make a donation of 452 Gold and these gems (1 worth 50GP and 3 worth 10GP each), which is all I have at the present. The group I am with might also allow me to borrow a bit more if I am in the ballpark of anything you might have. I realize this is an unusal request and I hope I have not offended you in any way by my request."

 

[Scotley]

OOC: You never actually got the Priestess' name. She left in quite a hurry.

"I am always swayed by a sailor with a tale of his true love. I might be able to barter with some of the other orders for something you could use. As you know we share this temple with several other priesthoods. While my own rarely has need of such items there are more martial orders here. If you will return after evening prayers I may have something for you."

Radoon

"You are so kind, it shows in everything you do. I never caught your name... And how is it you came to run this temple? Is there anything my friends and I might do to aid your mission here?"

 

[Leif]

Gnurl Whiskerling

Watching Radoon and the priestess walk away down the side corridor, Zurrik turns to Gnurl and says, "I guess we're stuck here. We'll just have to make sure the path is clear if a hasty exit is needed." With that, Zurrik leans against the wall near the entrance and watches.

Gnurl fidgets inconsolably and gradually, ever so slowly, leans towards the door, hoping that Zurrik will follow. He whistles softly, too, a Gnomish tune, "Furry Sprockets And Big Noses."

 

[Scotley]

"You are so kind, it shows in everything you do. I never caught your name... And how is it you came to run this temple? Is there anything my friends and I might do to aid your mission here?"

"Oh, I am Cecilia Mother superior of only one shire of this temple. I certainly do not run it. Our order is a poor one of limited means. Any donation is always graciously accepted, but I think in your case ridding the Isles of the fiend you mentioned, I shall not say his name within these hallowed halls, would be a great boon to our mission."

Trying hard to remain pure in thoughts to M, Radoon quietly looks at Cecilia for a few seconds and then takes her hand in both of his. "I'm very much looking forward to seeing you again tonight then. We've got to get going on a few other errands today, do you know anything of "The Busted Skull" or the woman who is rumored to have worked with the sea sorcerer who runs the place?"

 

[Scotley]

Cecilia smiles a little half smile that makes Radoon think she's a mind reader as well as a healer. "Until tonight then. I'm sorry to say I know little of the Busted Skull other than its reputation as a dangerous place. Do be careful. Here's a little spell that might help you make it back here safely." She says a prayer for your protection and touches her holy symbol to your forehead. "Now I must return to my duties."

OOC: +1 deflection bonus to AC and +1 Resistance bonus to saves for the next 11 hours.

Radoon

Radoon releases his hold and a full-faced smile appears on his weathered face. "Thank you my lady. We'll see you soon."

Radoon will exit this room and the temple to rejoin his friends outside.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: What next?

 

[Lou]

Zurrik Odeil

"Are we ready to try the Busted Skull?"
