[LPF] A Soul Indiscretion

[Aldern Foxglove]

When they head back to the Watch House Handso's snores echo from his office. Corporal Lorrazio is sitting upon the floor with two other grubby watchmen playing dice and rises at the sight of the group.

"This the murderer then?" He asks hopefully. "This way, we'll stick 'im in the clinky. He don't look like no mage, but I guess that don't mean a whole lot of anythin' - we need te take precautions?"

[sblock=GlassEye]Fury vaguely recalls the Eels hang out as a back alley dive called The Bottle and Blade. An off the books place where dog and cock fights take place.[/sblock]

Borric shakes his head and replies, "No mate, this one be just a person of interest, so to speak. He is guilty of something for sure, but until we check out the lead he gave us, we are not prepared list his exact crimes. Better that you hang onto him for us. You leave him gagged and trussed up in a cell, he will be fine."

At being ignored and at the others having her break her word... the gnome places the 50gp she got from Hasbro on his desk, "Apologies, but I will not be continuing with the others. There appears to be a lack of communication. Good day, Commander."

She nods respectfully to the others and with that Zelena turns and departs. She does not return to the Dun Wright Inn at this time.

[sblock=OOC]Just playing the character. As sucky as that is. (See below). [/sblock]

[sblock=To Everyone...Still wanting to play]All is not lost. I sent a PM to Aldern... I still think Zelena would be ticked off at being ignored and the dude being turned over. But in the end it is not the worst of things. There is something collecting souls that needs stopping. So with the DM's approval of what I sent him,Zelena will continue there and I would like to continue to play. I had to think of a way to get her back and it working in character too. Sorry for the abruptness... I will try to reign in the impulsiveness and gut reaction to the situation.[/sblock]

OOC: D'oh! I must not have been paying attention. What happened?

[sblock=SongDragon]
First off I am perfectly happy to allow you to slot in an objection to going to the guardhouse and do a slight rewind since Zelena evidently feels so strongly about it.

The way I see it if things are in danger of slowing down I always go with what seems like the majority opinion. At this point the group has not told the guards anything other than that the thug is a person of interest. It seems like leaving him tied up in a cell without having told them of his crimes is a safer avenue than leaving him tied up in the street in a dangerous part of town.

The way I read it Zelena said "You won't kill him over my dead body."
So Borric knocked him out, which appears to have been the result of him listening to Zelena.

Fury suggested he be dropped of at the guard house and I had you drop him off there to speed things along.

Borric then said he was a person of interest so he will be held without danger - probably far less danger than being left of a street in a bad area of town.

I hope you stay Songdragon, but honestly I don't think anyone has done anything wrong, or to break Zelena's word. Or justify her reaction.

It's clear Fury is wound up when he points at the thug. "That one's worthy of the executioner, no doubt, so keep him locked down tight."

He stalks from the guard station and finds someplace relatively secluded where the group can talk without much danger of being overheard by loitering beggars. "The Eels hang at a back alley dive called the Bottle and Blade. We can go there but I need healing before we do."

OOC: Neither I nor The Duke have particularly strong feelings for what happens to the thug.

The sky is beginning to darken and the group realize it is unlikely that many healers will be available at this late hour without, more urgent need, or more coin. From the Croaker's words they have another day at least to seek out the fishmen and the Eels will not be going anywhere.

Corporal Lorrazio carefully takes up Zelena's coin from his slumbering Commanders desk and shrugs.

"'Ere you might as well hold on to it. He won't know the difference. Yesh you guys look beat up, I'd think about gettin' some rest before ye go stirring up anymore hornets nests."

[sblock=OOC]Right well a this point Zelena will hopefully return in the morning. So my suggestion is that the group head back to the Dunn Wright Inn - not to the thread just to rest if you see what I mean. That way Fury and anyone who needs it can get a bit of rest and either pay an NPC healer, in the morning or get the returned Zelena or Syl to do it.[/sblock]

 

[toasterferret]

Falkner nods at Fury and says "Let's rest the night at the Dunn Wright and in the morning treat our wounds before seeking out the eels. I could use a spot of healing as well."

 

[GlassEye]

Unless anyone else has something to add then we'll head off for a bit of down time. The next morning we'll seek out a temple for some healing (Fury favors Cortessa).

[sblock=Healing]Wow, I didn't realize low-level spellcasting was so cheap! Caster level x spell level x 10 gp.[/sblock]
