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

[CanadienneBacon]

Rancid pales at Voadam's implied threat but answers the question put to him."It means 'to mend.' Found it in a lexicon. How'd you know my name?"

 

[Voadam]

Voadam grins, "I'm good at learning things I want to know. 'To mend' heh. Sounds like Bjorn Bjornson's works. Go to Gorles. Or Daroln. Lay low for a while. You no longer have the wand and I will be working on finding and taking care of them."

"Think I'll try the window. The rooftop sounds less appealing now than it did earlier." Rancid exits via the open office door and makes for the broken window across the room.

Maelicent, ensconced outside the warehouse window, clearly sees Rancid walk out and notes that the human looks a bit worse for the wear. The man walks with a distinct limp.

Dter shuffles around outside near Chop Liver. Clearly agitated about something, at length the dwarf grumbles. "Shouldn't've left 'im by hisself. I'm going to head off to that taproom, meet up with the albino. This whole thing don't sit well with me. Brakkus, Pilgrim, come find us when yer done here. Seems well enough under control."

Dter breaks off and walks across town to the inn to join Gamad. Finding the albino in the common room grumbling about sommat, Dter walks up and jerks his chin in recognition at Gamad. "Ale?"

 

[Voadam]

Voadam glances up at the knotted rope then shakes his head. "Bards."

He heads out immediately after Rancid and catches up to the bard before he skips out "I thought of one more thing I want from you before you are on your way. I am interested in that woman. I want you to bring me to her and provide an introduction. It would be most helpful." Voadam sheathes his wand then.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Rancid's shoulders slump. "Alright. If she's not there today, I can at least show you were Moss's Agates and Gewgaws is." The fop looks neither pleased nor excited to be pressed into service.

 

[Voadam]

Voadam smiles at Forsythe "Good man". He turns to his companions. "We have a new lead, we are heading to the Rivermark. But I've been thinking. I want to send someone back with the dwarf, just in case."

Once someone says Dter has already gone Voadam will nod. "Good then."

 

[SlagMortar]

"Sounds like an idea. Is that where he found it?" When told no, Brakkus mentions, "If our leads dry up, it may be worth taking a look around where it was found. Maybe the demons can sense it and didn't have to be told where it was by anyone. Good think Dter thought to go back to check on Gamad."

 

[Ambrus]

Maelicent, sitting on the windowsill, sheathes his arrow when he finally sees Voadam and the elusive Rancid casually emerge from within the office. The goblin had been listening in on the pair's conversation but was still having trouble understanding some of the giant-kin's words. The Gudwulf warrior hops down to stand clear as the oversized humans begin clumsily clambering through the window. Maelicent listens to Voadam's conclusion, surprised by his own feelings of admiration for the oddly eloquent self-described demon-hunter. He's what I've been lookin fer. If he ain't an adventurer I dunno what is. When prompted the goblin points out the dwarf's departure.

Lewit is quite pleased with his cleaned boats. He seems to care little about what is being said, but is absorbing it anyway.

"I think Dter is doing what you want. Hmm, interesting turn of events eh? I'm ready to continue the game when you are".
