Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

[Majin]

Broddy's dreams for the remaining parts of the night are plagued by recreations of the horrible scene from earlier that day, forced to watch his friends sucked into unknown depths of that portal.

Calenthang and those who follow spend the next few hours bargaining at various shops selling off the remaining left over items while Laurent goes off with Rex to wander around town. Most residential homes are around the outskirts of town and there a few farms here and there far out in the distance about a 5 minute jog from the edge of town. Besides the inn he'd left from and the towering church dominating the center of town he does not find too much else of interest. It's only been a half hour before Rex's ears perk up as he notices something in a nearby alley. Laurent sees a flash of a diminuitive hand for a moment before it is wrenched back into the darkness of its hiding place. Rex growls for a moment, but then oddly runs towards the things. After the dog disappears into the darkness Laurent hears barking and what seems like childish squealing, then laughter.

Two children sheepishly emerge from the alley a few moments later, Rex in tow. One a small girl about nine years old with large brown eyes and a boy, about the same age if not older, clutching a toy wooden sword and shield. He wears a home-made cape with fake magical symbols emroidered at the collar, and has pieces of cloth tied around his wrists to resemble gauntlets. They look as if they want to run, but then look up at Laurent expectantly.

Teleri's short trip to the temple finds Andress, the high priestess tending things at the alter when she arrives. The priestess looks up at Teleri's approach. "Good tidings this evening," she says, recognizing the moon elf. "What do you need?"

EDIT - Wilphe - Sorry about the above. I was in the middle of posting this when you posted your latest message. Could you go along and play out this scene I've gotten you into? I'll allow you to catch up to Teleri afterwards if you'd still like.

Calenthang makes sure the bard reads a novel about purging the world of the corrupt and conniving when the orator smiles at the unamused fighter.

[sblock]I'll leave what items were sold to Dhes, if nobody has anything to say about it...[/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan let Calenthang, Dunstand and Teleri doing teh shopping. Sielwoodan doesn,t like the idea of leaving Broddy alone, even if he has gone sleeping. Sielwoodan remain in the common room near the fire. Once, he leaves to go to the and gives something to eat to Felmir before coming back to the common room.

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand heads out with Calenthang to sell off their newly gotten treasures.
[sblock]Last call, I still need some people to ok the list, and I still need to know if people want anything that we don’t have. I can’t tell you guys how much money we have if I don’t know what I can and can’t sell.

Krinke, I see that you haven’t changed your sheet yet, could you please do this before we add any more stuff to the characters. If you would get any magical stuff this could affect your stats and it would be a real pain in the @ss to back track trough it if the stats where incorrect to start with. Like I sad in OOC, feel free to E-mail me if you have any questions or even suggestions (i.e. get stuffed Dhes and stop bothering me about my character sheet ) [/sblock]

Heh. I always need help in figuring out numbers. And I want it to be right too. So feel free in looking it over. I'm sure I made mistakes somewhere.... I think I have made the changes nessesary.

Teleri smiled and told her what they have found out so far, in her characteristically blunt way, figuring that the priestess would not like the flowery speech of courtiers. "We are still no closer to finding out who has Chasity's soul," she said, gauging the priestess' reaction to her tale, looking for any signs of stress or duplicity, hoping that StormArmour might help with it, but not counting on it. "The hag is dead, but she might have accomplices somewhere, perhaps in town."

Inwardly, Teleri knew that Calenthang and the others would probably have an apoletic fit with her telling anything to one they suspect of being partially responsibly for a comrade's death, but she had her reasons. By building a raporte with her quarry, she might be able to catch the ahh suspect in a lie. If nothing else, making enemies where none were is a generally bad idea.

OOC: Sorry about the cross post, yeah, Laurent will catch up with Teleri later, unless you want that incident to happen on the way to the Temple?

IC:
Laurent holds out his hands wide in a gesture of surrender, "I am at your mercy, great warrior." and bows his head in submission, "But surely one as mighty as yourself need not skulk in alleyways and spy on his foes from a distance"

~Teleri~

Andress nods along with Teleri as she relates the most recent events to her, only stopping the cleric once, to correct her on the proper pronunciation of Chastity's name. Other than that the priestess seems quite pleased that the party has returned safely. "Do you have any leads on where to go next?" she asks, with interest.

~Laurent~

In response to the bard's words, the boy's sheepish look fades and he does his best to nod confidently to him. The girl blushes as she looks around cautiously before introducing herself and her companion.

"I'm Renadra..." she says. "... And this is my brother, Oliver," she adds, almost in passing. She leans close and continues in almost a whisper. "We're not allowed to talk to you," she explains, referring to the party as a whole Laurent is now apparently with. "Andress says that all strangers want to hurt the people of Twilight Hollow," she adds, her tone slightly doubtful, but still wary as she looks at Laurent for some sort of reaction.

[sblock]Kirinke - Dhes is in the process of typing up a post to help you further with your sheet. Thank him kindly for it, because without him, I'm sure I would have gone crazy by now with these sorts of issues. [/sblock]

 

[Dhes]

After getting all the haggling done, Dunstand returns to the inn. Hoping that the rest of the party were satisfied with the prices they got for all the stuff.

Kirinke
[sblock]From you ooc post up here I get the feeling that you didn’t read my last ooc post to you. Looking at your sheet, the only thing that I can see that you changed is taking off the shield. This for one is a good start but there is still some work to be done. I took the liberty of typing up a small sample character sheet for you so you can see what it should look like and what your numbers should be.

OOC post for Kirinke.... [/sblock]

ooc:
Thanks Des. The changes have been made . I knew I screwed up somewhere.

Also, Teleri is well aware that the good priestess isn't to be trusted that far (at least in her eyes), so our resident slightly crazy elf is pretty much pulling a Columbo routine on her.

IC:
"We don't really know where to go next. I was hoping that you might have an idea as to where to search next. As I said, we believe that whoever is keeping Chastity's spirit may have accomplices in town I'm sorry to say. Who they may be, I don't know. It's.... just a hunch you might say."

"I'm Renadra..." she says. "... And this is my brother, Oliver," she adds, almost in passing. She leans close and continues in almost a whisper. "We're not allowed to talk to you," she explains, referring to the party as a whole Laurent is now apparently with. "Andress says that all strangers want to hurt the people of Twilight Hollow," she adds, her tone slightly doubtful, but still wary as she looks at Laurent for some sort of reaction.

Laurent drops to his knees and offers his neck before Oliver's sword, "If I am so dangerous then Sir Oliver had better strike me down now Lady Renadra. Do you think Andress would like that?"

"I've only just met them, and they don't really trust me any more than Andress trusts them. Rex is my only friend right now. What's so bad about strangers anyway?"

ooc: Diplomacy check time?
