[LPF] Mopping Up

[Qik]

Ni sits himself glumly at the improvised table on the floor below where their meeting took place. "Well," he says to the others in an effort to be optimistic, "that went alright, didn't it?"

Looking around, he adds, "So much for the glories of adventuring."

"I think I ofer reacted."

Shortly, a younger lizardfolk with a couple of bodyguards joins you, and after apologizing for his father's abruptness, indicates for you to lead the way back to this Lord Maskon. They are friendly, if somewhat distant. Any questions about the wall with the rune simply gets a shrug and the short response, "Dark Magic of some kind most likely; best not to disturb in any case." You get back to Silverton, and after getting the lizardfolk on the right path to meeting with the relevant officials, and getting paid for your services, you report your findings to Andolyn, who seems both relieved and concerned at the same time, but says nothing beyond asking you to have some patience while she does some research into it, and getting back to you so that you may deal with the problem it presents.

GM: Intermission

I designed this adventure with an intermission so that people could shop and level without making the math a complete nightmare, and Arianna, Heinrich, and Ni all leveled if my numbers are correct. If [MENTION=40413]GlassEye[/MENTION] can get them approved (they can be found in the 1st post of the thread), you can level. You will have a couple of weeks of in game downtime to shop, rp, and do whatever. You can order pretty much anything within reason from Gist, which has the same spending limits as Venza, or get more some supplies here in Silverton (large town on the verge of being a small city; 3,000 gp limit).

Ni is glad for the young lizardfolk's sensitivity to their impression of his father. The gnome assures him that no lasting offense was taken, and repeatedly offers his own apologies for what must of been perceived as aggression on his part. It becomes clear that despite their well-meaningness, the lizardfolk are none too talkative, and he decides to let them be. Instead, he spends his time observing the creatures they see in their travels back to Silverton, describing them to the best of his knowledge to Arianna when he recognizes them, and making up fantastical stories in place of real knowledge when he does not. He does, however, make sure Arianna knows the difference between one and the other.

Ni appreciates both the Baron's generosity and his willingness to meet with the lizardfolk; he hopes that the talks go well, for everyone's sake. Diplomacy with the indigenous people of the area will certainly make for a more lasting peace than hostilities, violent or otherwise.

While they wait for Lady Andolyn to conduct her research, Ni places an order for some items from Gist, and otherwise busies himself talking to anyone and anybeast about any possible thing. He asks Arianna to help him learn the language of their "newfound friends," and also takes the chance to learn a few words of Heinrich's native dialect.

"Ist gut!"

[sblock=OOC]Woo hoo! Level 4. Exciting. Will set about taking care of all the bookkeeping.

Very much enjoying it thus far, sunshadow![/sblock]

Tonris listens intently to the others talking, offering tidbits of wisdom here and there when called for. Then when the Lizardfolk are introduced to the Baron, Tonris does his best to mediate an agreeable atmosphere for negotiations. His mind however is more geared towards learning more about that stone "door" that the group had found in the basement of the tower. He wondered if it could possibly be related to the doorway that brought him to this part of the world or not?

Finally when the group is dismissed to do some shopping, Tonris makes a beeline for a store that sells magical commodities, having a desire to pick up a specific wand, and a few new scrolls that will hopefully help him immensely in the coming weeks.

[sblock=OOC]I picked up a slightly used Wand of Mage Armor, and Scrolls of Mage Armor, Detect Thoughts, Hold Person, and Unnatural Lust. I am going to try to transfer the scrolls into Tonris' familiar so that he can memorize them as needed.

EDIT: Failed on first scroll of Unnatural Lust & Detect Thoughts, purchasing a second of each to attempt again... Second attempt at learning Unnatural Lust succeeded. However when I went to purchase Detect Thoughts it was "out of stock" so I will have to try for that one again another time.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc] not sure, but i think the scroll remains intact if you fail to comprehend it[/sblock]

The 2nd day Heinrich visits the merchants again to find the scrolls. Arriving at the quarters given him, he reads and writes. On the third day he hopes a good night's sleep allows him to comprehend the penmanship of the Scribner of the lightning bolt scroll.

you must wait a week before attempting to read and write a spell from a scroll
