(LHHS) The Light Hearted Hack n' Slash Game (II)

[Creamsteak]

The Insane Pilgrim's is a place like... a cult only more friendly and well accepted. Every person in that place will try and hug you, every person will preach about non-sensical goodness, and every person has at least half their wealth invested in charms.

You find that there are a few easy to learn things from these people...

"The Temple of the Place of the Sun of the Moon is cursed, and nobody wants to go anywhere near it."

"The sewers and steam-pipes are full of wicked and vile specimens of all types."

"Some people make good money selling something called Penguin."

"The Harshest Crap in the Land (a drink) is made in this town."

"A pretty winged lady named Samantha frequents this bar, always looking to recruit people to join her for lunch or dinner."

"Bankers in this town trade Rubys and Opals as if they were advanced curancy (more valuable than platinum), and sometimes cheap topaz."

"This town's religious structure is extremely strong, but then again no one group is dominant."

Khala tells the group there, "Thank you for the information. Let this quench your thirst from telling me so much. Barkeep, supply drinks from this until it runs out." Khala places 3 gold on the counter.

Interestingly enough, one of the most flamboiyant pilgrams approaches you more directly before you can leave the place.

"So you've got questions... I've got a few answers..."

The man's not a pilgrim, but he certainly has a lot of holy symbols. A Short Sword being one of them, and he looks like a bodyguard more than anything.

"The money will help me out some, as will giving the information to you help me in a similar way -so give me 19 gold pieces."

The money is exchanged. The man goes in back and introduces himself as Regis.

"There's a gang in town, with a bounty on their heads. There are three leaders, all halflings. They employed a band of goblins, 5 of them, and they have been roaming the steam pipes. Their part of a larger organization, but I don't know much about that. They have a stash, I'd say a little over a thousand gold, and some nice toys. One's a bard, the other two I'm not so sure about. Problem is that they are tough as hell! So, what will it be? A) Help me out, B) Deal with it yourself and pay me a handsome finders fee proportional to your find, C) Ignore me, or D) Lie to me?"

Warning: Super Corny one-liner coming up in two posts! I repeat: Bad Joke!

 

[Darkwolf]

"I'm interested in helping you out for an equal share of the loot."

 

[Creamsteak]

"Is that your final answer?"

I Warned you!

 

[Darkwolf]

Khala gives the man a glare. "Yes, that is my final answer. When I give my word I mean it. Now will the two of us be able to handle it or do we need more help?"

 

[Creamsteak]

"Eh, depends. I can take down the goblins myself, no problem, but just how strong do you think you are? I've got a bounty hunters license, so I'm the only one of us two that can collect, I assume."

He looks your gear over... making a judgement...

"Get two or three really tough guys, and maybe someone to treat the wounded -I don't care if she's a housewife. I'll see if I can't figure out where in the steam pipes they are right now."

 

[Darkwolf]

"I had some friends who were with me, but," Khala looks out into the street, "they seem to have vanished or got lost. If you think we need help then I'll take your word on it and see if I can find some help."

 

[Creamsteak]

I can't judge how strong you are. If your confident, I'm all about getting those three little bastards back!

 

[Lichtenhart]

A really grim Mak'Teh-Nar enters the inn.
"Oh you're here, Khala. I looked in the other bar for a little card game, but I don't like the way they deal, if you catch my meaning. What are you doing? Making friends?"

Actually, THEY didn't like the way I deal cards, but he doesn't need to know that.
