[LPF] In Love and Death

[GlassEye]

The afternoon and night pass with little to disturb the quiet that has fallen over the Moretti estate. The next morning is bright and clear and Lady Moretti breaks her fast with you in the manor's kitchen. Conversation eventually turns to events of the previous day and plans for the next.

"Is it agreeable that you escort Efrem to the Tower of Chains in Venza? It would reassure me to know that he is being cared for in a place of security. I will go along, of course, to see that my brother is settled as befitting one of his rank; your duty would be to provide protection while on the road and to make sure my brother can get up to no mischief during the journey. Fusto shall drive the wagon. And I believe that Mitra should be buried at sea or her remains taken to the temple of Dessano."

"That is acceptable." Zelena agrees. "Whichever you deem best for the Lady Mitra, she was your family."

As the group starts out in the morning she call upon Ral's powers of healing...

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 3)

Responding to Krag, "He's still out, I made sure of it. He shouldn't give you any problems. He'll have one hell of a headache when he does wake up."

After getting enough sleep to maintain himself, Yo wakes up feeling ready to go for the day. (I believe I was at full health after overnight natural healing, but Zelena will ensure that I am)

Nodding in agreement, Yoshiki says, "We will see Efram through to the Tower of Chains. It sounds like an appropriate place."

As the group gets ready to head out, "We should probably wake him at some point to at least give him some water. Don't want him dying before we get there." Turning to Lady Moretti, "How long is this journey?"

By the time plans and arrangements are made a good portion of the morning is gone. Eventually the group gets on the road again. Travel is slow as they are once again moving at the pace of the wagon but transportation of a prisoner and Mitra Moretti's remains necessitates such.

Imelda is introspective and speaks little on the journey and very nearly matches Fusto in his reticence. It is not feasible to keep Efrem unconscious during the whole three days of the journey but tied he poses little threat. He is frequently wild-eyed and rambles about things that make little sense and by the end of the journey you are all whole-heartedly sick of listening to it.

One night, however, Efrem exhibits an unusual amount of clarity as he speaks. "I killed her, you know. She wanted to leave me for the sea of all things. I couldn't have that. No. And if I couldn't have her then the sea wouldn't have her either." His laugh changes in tenor to something higher pitched and tinged with madness until Lady Moretti begs Yoshiki to knock him out cold again.

By the time you rumble across the stone bridge that ties the islands of Venza to the mainland you are ready for a bit of peace. Leaving Mitra Moretti's remains at the temple of Dessano is a simple task easily accomplished and the priests of the Bound God assure Lady Moretti that the proper rites will be held and Mitra given over to the sea. Once at the Tower of Chains Lady Moretti says her farewells as she'll be remaining at the Tower to ensure that Efrem is settled and there is little more for the group to do.

"You have my thanks. The hospitality of my house is open to you, should you have cause to need it. Farewell."

OOC: Congratulations on a successful ending. I know it was linear and the opportunities for role-playing limited but I'm appreciative of your efforts and hope you enjoyed yourselves. I'm calling the end today, 2 September 2011. I'll update the first post in this thread with experience totals and (if it works) I'll attach the worksheet I used (thanks, Mowgli!) to calculate such so you can see how things worked out if you wish. Feel free to do any wrap up rp that you might wish, or move on to the Dunn Wright Inn. If you have any questions, ask them here. Thanks again & good luck on your future adventures!

"Milady. I am truly sorry for your loss. Should you have need of me, please leave a message at the Dunn Wright Inn, I will answer with all haste." the gnome says as she takes the woman's hand in a consoling manner. (diplomacy 25)

Once she is away with the others, "Gentlemen. It was a most interesting adventure. I think we did some good though. If you need a companion to travel with into danger with, feel free to look for me. I would be happy to travel with any of you." She smiles to each of you, "Well... Celebfedhiin and I should be off, get some rest and visit a place of Mystic origins. Ral's blessings for each of you."

With that the gnome swings up into the riding hound's saddle, and rides off into the city, turning to wave to you all before she is swallowed by the busy streets.

((Thank you GE It was an enjoyable adventure. InVinoVeritas, deisenhut, CootaR, it was fun to to roleplay with each of you. Hope to see you around the LPF watering hole. ))

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Thanks for the game, everyone! See? Kanli's not that bad when you get to know him... Er, okay, never mind.

Tiny Giant

I hope you grow back to real size Ms. Tiny Giant. Krag thankings you for helping! You fought most bravely and you did good magics! Krag smiles broadly. I too will be at the Tavern. There is more good to do, Baddies are always being bad!

With that Krag mounts his obstinate Ox Dharma and they make their way slowly back to the city of glass.

OOC: THANKS GM!

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 3)

OOC: Sorry, I was offline for most of weekend.

Yoshiki only nods to Lady Moretti as she says her farewells, letting the others do the talking. As the group heads back to the "watering hole", Yo responds to the small gnome woman, "Yes, we did. I hope this makes up for some of my mistakes in the past." Slapping the half-orcs on the back, "It was good traveling with you both again. Maybe fate will have our paths will cross once more. Even if for nothing more than a drink or two."

Thanks GE for the great game. Good pace and I liked the combat style. Actually incorporating some changes from this game into an AP I'm running pbp.

Glad you enjoyed it and are able to take something from it to use elsewhere. I'm sure I'll see you all in the DWI!
