[LPF] Scourge of the Howling Horde

[Systole]

Sylla glances at the dwarf, then goes back to her coffee. "Sylla, archer and tracker," she says. With a nod at the eidolon, she adds, "Boots, darkwolf."

With a confused look, Boots sidles up to Agno. "Psst, what are credentials? Is that a type of furniture?"

"I imagine Sten Goodseller will vouch for us," says Iago neutrally. "We escorted her wagon back to the village. We fought off two bands of goblins on the way," he adds matter-of-factly.

Agno inclines his head in greeting to the dwarf.

"Ah, Master Durgedown. I am, hurrr... Agno Phoenicus, priest of the Whisperer, the Revealer of Secrets, trained in healing and archery and in the taking of the auspices. Today was not a good day to be a goblin."

Mallie arches an eyebrow in surprise, "Sten Goodseller has returned. Wonderful news. You must be heroic adventurers indeed if you safe guarded her wagon from two goblin attacks."

"This will earn my approval, Arvel."

Arvel nods approvingly as well, a smile cracking his stern expression, “Aye, I suppose they will be acceptable.” He takes another drink from his mug of ale.

"We have no militia, no guards," Mallie explains, "and we’ve already lost too many good men and women to the goblins. We sent out this call for help, hoping adventurers such as yourselves would answer."

"We would like you to find out why the goblins have suddenly turned violent and put an end to their threat. We shall pay you 500 gold pieces once we have proof that the goblins won’t attack again.”

The dwarf looks to you, "How are going to go about this task?"

"If you find out why the little buggers have increased their activity that would be useful for possibly preventing their raids again."

Mallie adds, "However more importantly, we need the threat to our community eliminated. It is unlikely that it can be accomplished without violence, but if you find another way that is up to you."

Arvel grunts appreciatively and grins, "Sure, kill the evil bastards. That works for me. Take the fight to them, I say." He pauses to consider a moment before asking, "So, do we have an agreement?"

 

[mfloyd3]

"I agree," says Iago.

 

[Systole]

Sylla grunts an agreement. "Tomorrow we can track them from their ambushes and hunt them down."

[sblock=ooc][MENTION=88649]perrinmiller[/MENTION] How do you want us to handle resupply? Tomorrow morning or now or anything? I'm asking because given the roughly 1300gp in loot so far, we're each looking at a MWK weapon and change.[/sblock]

Agno spits into his hand and holds it out to Arvel Durgedown.

"I agree. This is how it is done, is it not?"

The tengu blinks down at Boots as if remembering that he forgot something.

"Credentials are, hurrr... that is, if you have credentials you are bonafide."

Arvel smiles slightly, but doesn't spit on his hand. However, he still shakes on the agreement, "You have been spending time with that shrewd merchant Sten. Very well, we are agreed."

Mallie smiles and says, "Unless you have any more questions, I will go see about your rooms and baths. Since you helped Sten and agreed to deal with our problem, you may stay here in the Inn at no cost while you are working for us."

Your meals arrive and she bustles off to attend to her business of running the inn and tavern.

Arvel grunts at the innkeeper's generosity and bids you farewell, "Well good night and I will see you around." The dwarf moves along as well.

 

[mfloyd3]

"I do have some questions, Miss Arvel, if you can spare a moment," says Iago, fighting his fatigue. "The goblins we saw had a clan tattoo." He offers a brief description. "Are these the same goblins who have always lived in this area? And one of the goblins was a druid, and well-equipped with a scroll and wands. Have the goblins always used such magic?"

 

[perrinmiller]

Mallie returns to check on you and answers Iago's questions, "I do not know of the clan's markings."

"Alas, my husband probably did. But, that knowledge went with him and those in his company. Not one of them has returned."

"I suppose the goblins have shamans, maybe? The last raid on the village they numbered between 10 to 100. Those murdered were killed with weapons by all accounts."

GM: When you are finished role-playing for this scene, you can post going to bed and waking up. I will move things out of the inn once I know where you are going exactly after your characters finish breakfast.

[sblock=OOC]Sorry, I meant to put this in my previous post.

It turns out that I need not have bumped up Barrow's Edge to 200 people as the limits for purchasing are different in PF compared to 3.5ed. It is supposed to be a Hamlet of 100, but in PF that is still a village.

The village stores (3) will have magical items up to 300gp in value, but following a 30% rule instead to reflect the rural nature of the community compared to Venza. You can purchase them IC/OOC here, when appropriate. Max for mundane items is 1800gp. You can find alchemical silver in weapons if you want, but no other special materials.

When you visit Sten we can total up everything and sell it off to distribute treasure. Best done OOC after you get the wands identified though. I will keep track of that information on the opening post.[/sblock]
