[LPF] Expansion

[VVilhem]

While everyone's busy preping for camp, Megan starts to ask around.

First, she joins Saktouk and together they help Lord Marvox's men make camp. "So how do you guys like the great outdoors?" Megan gestures to what's around her. "Although my employer deals extensively with pelts, it's actually my first time out of Venza. So far, we were attacked by a half man half spider thing and even saw a little blue goblin riding a giant spider! I tell ya, it's been quite a trip but I'll take the city any day."

OOC: wanted to start with basic knowledge checks to see if I knew anything to begin with, but seeing as how I got below a ten on both knowledge rolls, I am going to have to think up some questions. I will get back to you on that front. Also consider Kalius' survival check as an Aid Another check for the Druid.

The men will swap stories with you, and after half an hour of swapping stories who are as amazed of your stories of the city as you are of their stories of this area, you get the impression that the fey immediately outside of the Feywood have a very ambivelent attitude towards those inside, and tend to be rather jumpy when anyone tries to take significant actions that might attract the attention of their darker kin, a fact completely lost on their latest lord.

OOC: Do you try to get specific information out of them?

Megan nods as Lord Morvax's men tells her about the Fey.

"The Fey are a strange bunch. I don't pretend to understand them, but I do respect their desire for privacy, much like our desire to have doors on our houses. Remember that blue goblin with the spider? All it apparently cared about was that we don't go off the road and wonder into its territory. There was apparently a pact or some sort. Is there another such pact in this area? Perhaps one that involves the dark feys?"

Megan is clearly interested about the dark fey, but she rather approaches the subject slowly as to not give the impression that she has some kind of an agenda.

"The pact you mention holds true here as well, as I suspect it does all around the edge of the Feywood, and there are those who believe that the fey of those woods are using the pact as a screen to hide secret and dark activities. They are certainly a reclusive bunch, definitely different from the others, wilder, some of them almost alien, but most people haven't seen any proof that they are plotting anything dark against the neighborhood. It's hard to say what the truth is; all most people know is that if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. The rest of the local fey, on the other hand, are a different lot. They see shadows of conspiracy everywhere, and aren't afraid to let people know it."

 

[VVilhem]

Megan suspects that these men just told her as much as they about the reclusive Fey, so she moves on to other matters.

"So how is it working for Mr. Morvax? Mr. Savi here's pretty easy going. His family works the pelt business in Venza, so he gets to travel the land extensively. Being an outdoors man, I bet he feels right at home."

 

[DalkonCledwin]

OOC: I probably should have asked this before we set out on this journey back to Venza, but does the Feywood have any relation to the Harran Forest? I ask because just listening to the descriptions of these 'Dark Fey' sounds somewhat vaguely similar to the description in the LPF Wiki to that of the Harran Elves. Also may I present Blue and Orange Morality for your viewing pleasure!

 

[sunshadow21]

They know about as much as you are able to recall from your time in Tritower. He's a minor merchant turned noble known for being moderately successful in his constant pursuit of the next big market. Very focused, sometimes to the point of stubbornness, the locals are taking a wait and see attitude towards his grand scheme, having seen such schemes before, none of which survived long once they hit the actual implementation stage.

 

[sunshadow21]

OOC: The Harran Forest is a completely different place on the southern part of the known map. If you want to write an adventure that links the two, feel free. I, personally, plan on leaving the details as vague as possible, especially when it comes to the true nature of the Feywood denizens, so that someone else can have something to work with.

 

[DalkonCledwin]

OOC: Wow, I traveled that far to get to Venza? huh, who would have thunk. Anyways I am not personally the adventure writing type so I will take a pass on that anyways....

"It seems to me that our best option would be to try to convince milord that venturing into the Feywood would be a rather foolish idea, and that building an Inn this close to the Feywood while potentially profitable, could prove disasterous should someone breach the pact that the Fey have going on here." Veniarus says in a hushed undertone to Megan as he comes up to sit down next to her, having heard her conversation from a small distance away.
