[LPF] Beggar's Belief

[Aldern Foxglove]

The group hear a dull boom followed by a piercing shriek coming from up ahead.

Ariel agrees, "Sounds fine I will follow behind the Guardian, third in line or side beside him. There doesn't appear to be a reason to go single file all of the time."

As they move a little ways in, she suggests, "We might want to explore to the north of here first before proceeding. We would not like to be surprised by the gang leader coming at us from behind."

She keeps a wary eye out for trouble, looking in all directions.

The group hear a dull boom followed by a piercing shriek coming from up ahead.

"Sounds like fate compels us in that direction," points Megan towards the East, where the scream comes from, "unless everyone else want to check up North first?"

OOC: Let's have a quick vote to pick directions. Strategy says we go North first, but the scream is coming from the East, so I say we go there first (please clarify where the scream is coming from if I am mistaken)

[sblock=OOC]The scream came from the east, and fits the area with the tarp roof. When you say to the north can you specify within our without of the walls.[/sblock]

Fester contemplates these recent events, and replies: This may be some kind of trick or trap. I think that if we do go east then we should not rush in. Perhaps we should simply stand our ground and see what happens next if anything at all.

Fester shouts:

Who goes there??? Are you friend or foe? Show yourself!

 

[perrinmiller]

Ariel agrees with Fester, "I concur, no need to rush. We are expecting there to be trickery on this island and it would be prudent to not rush head long into it."

She asks Megan, "If no one answers his shout, perhaps you can scout out the area over there and then report back if you find something. We can stay right here and wait."

Over there as she gestures, refers to the ruins north of where they are standing.
[sblock=OOC]I am voting to stay and check out the area north, inside the walls. Megan already looked that way from some elevation, but this is just to be sure.[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]Initiative: +2

"Alright, I'll check out the North. If you here me scream, it'll bloody real."

Megan readies her crossbow and creeps northward.

The Venza Guardian moves with the others. Fighting some drug addicts/dealers is like a dream come true.

The area to the north proves to contain nothing but charred ruins so the group heads on to the east. A first glimpse reveals an arreay of tables covered in strange glass apparatus.

The corpse of snub nose lies upon the ground between two men and a halfling wearing goggles stands smiling nervously at you - evidently waiting.

"Um hello? Ah, you've just done me a big favor I, ah, that is we really don't need to fight do we. I'm Andro Shippeli, alchemist."

[sblock=OOC]
Sorry for the delay, this can be either for the group or for Megan scouting ahead. If you wish to take a course of action that skips the talking just let me know and I can edit a necessary.[/sblock]

What favor did we do you Andro? Tell us why you are here and how you got here.
