[LPF] Bats in the Belfry

[Aldern Foxglove]

"Don't know about the rest of them, but this dagger's sharper than a goosed Scarlotti Matron. Anyone make use of it? Of course we split all profits evenly, but for the time being?" Izzik says holding up the blade as he walks.

 

[HolyMan]

[sblock=OOC] Nothing of magic in the tengu's loot. Will now wait for the others I'm sorry to say. Need to know who is still around to continue.

So heads up to everyone else you will have until Mon Jan 3rd to post up that you wish to continue on. If I don't get a post I will be seeing about having a few replacement characters be in the area for the next part of the adventure. [/sblock]

Syldar shakes her head at Izzik. "A dagger's not that useful to me. I prefer shooting things from further away with my bow." The elf looks around at the others. "I know how to use it, but if anybody else would use it regularly, I'm happy for them to have it."

The Great ReStart

It takes only a few moments for the two groups to gather back together. And when they do they have a small pile of the tengu's gear as well as some random jewels and gold.

They also have two dead and two unconscious Red Bill Gang members that they shouldn't just leave out in the street.

"We should wait for the guard to come by," Xan states ominously with a sigh. He knows that there will be a patrol but not exactly when they could be delayed for a number of reasons it looks like it may be a long night.

"I will stay and watch this cowardly lot with you guardsman," Leonion states crossing his arms. "You should not be out on these streets alone."

"But the bell tower," Heather rasps in reply. "The bell ringer made mention of midnight and it is not to far off. Perhaps forty minutes or so." the witch states looking to the moon and stars to determine the time.

Xan wonders what the others are talking about and after getting an explanation he tells everyone."I think that should be investigated, but the tengu..."

"Your right guardsman. I will stay and wait for a patrol and tell them what has passed, you should accompany the others. A representative of the law may be needed." Leonion interrupts. "But who will stay with me in case just to be safe?" he asks quietly.

"I will." Heather replies. "And with Leanan we will make three. Once the guard has come we will join up again with everyone."

The others readily agree as the time restraint, even this unknown one, seems to be nagging at the back of their minds.

Izzik, Arresa, Syldar, and a mounted Xan head off towards the bell tower. The young human summoner tucking the tengu's dagger in his belt just in case it is needed.

[sblock=OOC] Going to see about adding a couple others to the mix as we go. I saw where Padreigh posted his slow down, but Antitheist hasn't been around since DEC 5th. Still itis set that they could join in if they wish in the next week or so.

@Otakkun I have seen you are about just not sure what it is Xan was up to. Hope the above has cleared things for you.

I am going to post a recruitment in the Tavern for two more players and have them join in the next scene. Please post up your characters heading away from the Heather and Leonion and walking next to a canal headed for a bridge that crosses it, and we will pick up the adventure there. [/sblock]

Izzik follows Aressa hurrying towards the belfry, since the fellow seemed to be in quite the state and the tengu have delayed them enough already.

The night is cool and clear, and if it weren't for the urgency of their mission the walk would be rather pleasant. The small group follows the canal path and see a gonadal with three halflings poling it headed towards the same bridge that they are.

On the bridge a lone figure stands against the railing looking at the reflection of the stars as they play on the water. She seems oblivious to the large figure that heads from the far side of the canal straight towards the bridge following the directions he was givin to a place called The Dunn Wright Inn.

[sblock=OOC] That should be open ended enough that if sunshadow21 or Shayuri decide not to play the two others could just be NPCs. But I think they will show. And we will march on from here. [/sblock]

 

[sunshadow21]

Ausk, a massive half-orc that looks like he's been through his fair share of fights, moves through the night with a clear purpose, alert for any dangers, but not much concerned about much else. Between his need to secure some cash and the strange new voices running through his head, he has plenty to consider as he heads to an inn that he has been told contains employment opportunities for himself and his flail to make a living. Those who choose to pay attention to him can see him absentmindedly petting the head of an animal tucked away in one of his pouches as he walks along.

 

[Shayuri]

Maia gazed down at the wobbling surface of the water below, and yet simultaneously was looking up at herself at the riot of stars above. It was like a kind of magic, but she had cast no spells. Somehow the water allowed her to look in two directions at once. She wished she could tell the others about this. She wished she could tell herself.

With a contented sigh she looked up and around, taking in the city and seeking whatever else caught the eye.

Syldar notices the two near the bridge and smiles. "Greetings! I am Syldar, and these," she says, nodding toward her companions, " are Izzek and Aressa. I would love to stay and chat with you, but it appears that there are bats in the belfry and some urgency in dealing with the problem. Would you care to come and help us?"

She smiles at them, eagerly anticipating learning who these people are.

[sblock="Status"]Since this was last updated several pages back, Syldar has used 3/6 rounds of bardic performance and no spells.[/sblock]

 

[HolyMan]

As the group approaches and Slydar calls out a greeting. Everyone hear's...

"Oi! Wha'cha doin' Frizio? Keep up!" one of the halflings calls out to the other.

*ugh* "I'm try'n me pole is stuck or sumethin." Frizio says struggling with his long boat pole.

"Wait, what's tha..." *SPLASH!!* Frizio the halfling hits the water of the canal.

"Oi! Wha'cha doin' Frizio? You can't swim?! HELP! SOMEONE HELP US!"
