Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang glares at the items laid out in front of him when Laurent offers to help identify their use, but doesn't say anything against it. There is no reason they shouldn't allow the double-agent to aid them, so long as they had a sword at his throat. Whose sword that it would be is obvious enough to the elven warrior.
When Broddy admits he cannot help the party divine the usage of the items any more than Laurent, Calenthang doesn't bother pointing out that they could easily afford to pay some wizard-merchant to do so for them. Nobody around here was turstworthy anyway.

Broddy is able to discern the same as Laurent on all items but the small rust colored bag. He notices some markings of conjuration stiched into the side, but from the other items nothing further. A strange sudden resonance in his head keeps him from concentrating harder.

Laurent passes his information onto the rest of the group as he sees it, no point being obscure or deceitful - especially as how he doesn't put it past at least some of his new companions to use this as a test.

Then he address Teleri, "So, milady. If my understanding is correct it would appear that you were initially searching for whatever or whoever was holding the soul of your Paladin friend. While no closer to resolving that quest you have witnessed three of your friends sucked into the book held by our gnomish friend here and their current status is uncertain. What's the provence of said tome?"

"I personally don't know much about it. That would probably be Broddy's forte." Teleri said, hoping that the conversation would help restore Broddy to a semblance of his normal self.

"Well, you see, and this is just a theory you understand, that your friend Chastity is neither dead nor alive but instead trapped somewhere. You bear with you an artefact which has demonstrated a similar power, hence my interest in finding where it came from, yes? You may already have found her yet know it not."

He stands, "I shall take your leave now, while you diffy up your hard won treasures. I shall take Rex with me if that is okay and make what enquiries I can around the neighborhood."


Unless anyone objects he will return to the stables and pick up Rex, then head out to amble around town. No definate aim in view, just to get a feel for the place.

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang can't imagine why Laurent was trying to make friends with Rex and he doesn't bother voicing his suspicions either.
"Let us lessen our burden, my friends," Calenthang says while rising from his seat and quickly placing the things in front of him back in the magic bag at his hip. It is time to get rid of those things that won't be useful.
He waits by the door for those that will go with him before leaving to find a place to sell their things.

"I'll head over to that Illmater temple and see what I can discover, on the pretense of looking for new healing methods, which I will be learning as well." Teleri said getting up. "Something tells me that whatever is happening in this town, that priestess knows more than she is willing to divulge."

 

[Mimic]

"The book doesn't have anything to do with Chastity, we found it in the lair of a night hag some distance from here, from the looks of it and the other items we found they had been there for some time." Broddy says quietly, unconsciously moving his arm to protect the book.

"If you don't mind I am going back up to my room, I am not feeling very well." He will leave the table and head but up to his room to lay down.

ooc: Sorry for the disapearing trick, work and life have gotten busy of late.

 

[Wilphe]

"I will accompany you then milady, then see what opportunities present themselves," Laurent stands and get's ready to go, "I find I can somtimes be quite good at reading people," he continues, and smiles the very blandest of bland smiles at Calenthang.
