[KAUAI]The Rod of Seven Parts: Of Hexes and Gems

[SlagMortar]

"Yeah, let's find this next segment. We could be heroes! Tomorrow anyway, after breakfast. This could lead us Narn knows where and I don't want to do it on an empty stomach." Brakkus adds silently to himself, And I don't really want to be fighting demons in the dark.

"I never really like the sword, a bit too dainty for my taste, but my guisarme and flail are better anyway. I can help guard the segment tonight."

"Well, that was a tad-bit interesting. What were they priests of again? I suppose it doesn't matter now." Lewit says to both Frane and Maelicent, while staring at the brutality of the cutting. "Well, um... hmm, so Frane.", Lewit thinks of something to say, "How long until I continue playing my games at your place? A day at most I'd hope. People don't take kindly to playing in the middle of the street. Oh, how they kick at you..." He begins to bite the tip of his thumb's nail.

Vaja comes out just then. From the kitchen door, the tall blonde woman crosses the narrow garden. "They weren't priests. They're mages in the employ of the Tower of Xylla, undertakers." Vaja turns to Frane. "Lieutenant Barrie will be here within the hour. The cordons can come off then but there's still more to do inside. We need to either hire a cleaning crew to get it all done tomorrow, or if you still want to save the money then we can spend another three days doing it ourselves." Vaja crosses her arms, making it clear that she prefers the first choice. Frane stares blankly at his sister then grunts. "Alright. Hire the crew, then."

Vaja nods and walks over to the stable. She watches Maelicent at his work for a silent minute then interrupts. "I see the Preservers have been here. Good. I dislike having to have anything to do with them, but big as those dead things are and as long as that job'll likely take you, they'll make your job easier."

"Yeah, let's find this next segment. We could be heroes! Tomorrow anyway, after breakfast. This could lead us Narn knows where and I don't want to do it on an empty stomach."

Then it is a deal.
The dwarf smiles a distort smile and frowns
Now take your filthy boots out of here and find yourselves a room
He tries to shoo them out with the broom, he takes a step to the corridor and shouts loudly
Hey, Wench, where is my new pillow … Bah, humans.

 

[Voadam]

"Gamad, there is a chance the Queen or others will be able to send more agents after the wand. I will stay with you tonight to help safekeep it. Besides, there are a few issues I want to discuss with you about wizardry."

 

[BRP2]

Priests... mages... all the same to me. He rubs the bottom of his chin just a moment, Hey Maeliwulf, would you happen to know where we should stay for the night?

"I see the Preservers have been here. Good. I dislike having to have anything to do with them, but big as those dead things are and as long as that job'll likely take you, they'll make your job easier."

Maelicent pauses to wipe the sweat from his brow with the back of his coat sleeve while holding onto his handaxe in one hand and a bit of cartilage in the other. The goblin would have liked to have taken his helmet and coat off to work, but remained weary of doing so in the center of the giant-kin settlement. A moment of inattention is all that it would take for the creatures to overwhelm him.

"I don't be knowin that for sure. My tribe's witch could do tha same trick, but she didn't do it except to keep meat for the winter. Fresh meat and hide be tough to work with; it'd be best to leave it hangin for a few days to let it soften up a bit first. The hide and sinew won't dry and tan well if the magic be keepin em fresh..."

Hey Maeliwulf, would you happen to know where we should stay for the night?

The Gudwulf warrior turned to regard the odd giant-kin who'd followed him back. I hope he don't be plannin ta rut or nothin. Maelicent simply motions to the empty stalls within the stables with his axe hand. "I be staying right here meself. I got work ta do."

 

[Voadam]

Voadam will wish to talk with Gamad about wizardry on this world. In Voadam's experience magic operates differently from world to world and he is keen to gain a handle on any differences for this world as he works to rebuild his magical powers. He will observe the dwarf throughout the discussion to try to evaluate the influences of the Rod upon the wizard and to gain insight into how to work with the Dwarf despite those Lawful influences. He will attempt to work through the magic discussion starting with basics, asking permission to see the dwarf's spellbook where appropriate for illustrative purposes.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

I'm unable to sense magic right now, I'm quite exhausted and my arcane powers are weak, but …
Gamad opens the potions, smell and taste.

The clear potion that alternately refracts matte grey and silver is both odorless and tasteless. Gamad tastes the opaque russet potion that smells of cinnamon and finds that it tastes just as it smells and is quite strong.

Finding quarters for themselves in the large bustling city is easily done. Rooms are available at the Sniffling Pig and are cheap, if unpretentious. Teggest is large and can accomodate any desire or price range. The Copper Coin was quite clean and homey but was also a long walk across the city.

Voadam and Gamad pass the night in Gamad's room at the Sniffling Pig. Maelicent works through the night inside the stable at the Golden Cockatrice until he tires. Vaja informs Lewit that the Wilted Rose across the street from the 'Trice rents rooms out by both the hour and the night, and on the cheap.

Regardless of where the champions pass the nighttime hours, the morning sun filters through a bank of thick clouds and dimly dawns on the city. The rainclouds are uncustomary for the month of Revot; the weather during this season is normally blazingly hot and clear, and the winds frequently die, leaving the city to stiffle under a blanket of humidity given over from the River Tegyrn. Today, however, looks to be just as hot and just as humid, and with the threat of thunder and rain. No attack on any party member was perpetrated during the night.

Please indicate where your character spent the night and what, if any, errands he might have done in the intervening hours to include: spell preparation, purchasing equipment, gathering information, drinking, etc.. Most businesses that sell goods close at 9 pm and re-open at 6 am. Current time is 8 am.

Despite the offer, Lewit is likely to just pass out in the stables, while Maelicent is busy. H. Lewit has no errands and will probably just follow Maelicent until something interesting happens.
