Malvoisin's War of the Burning Sky - IC Thread

[stonegod]

Coldan glanced worriedly at Torrent as the chaos grew. He knew they needed to move, and soon.

"We can't hide here. We need to get out of Gate Pass. Which way to Gabal's school? I think we'll need help from them to get out quickly." replies Taren.

Xander chews on his lip as he waits for his companions to decide on a course of action. The warrior would rather stand his ground and meet the coming threat head on than flee, but he knew that his blade would make little difference against any army. Perhaps their mission would prove more valuable.

"I have reason to believe that Gabal doesn't have any particular way to get out of here more easily," Cassandra posits.

'Or else the fool was gambling with his own head by not just having me use that before this firestorm commenced.'

"Don't we have a gnome to meet?"

 

[Erekose13]

"I thought we had decided to visit Gabal just before you heard the noise upstairs. What gnome are you talking about?" replies Taren.

ooc: am I the only one confused by RA's post?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: I think we were both confused in different ways--I referred to

The short version is that we've got to meet a contact - a gnome named Rivereye Badgerface - in about an hour at a guarded depository about a half-mile from here. He's carrying a case of vital military intelligence which he stole from the Ragesian palace, and the heads of the resistance think that it needs to reach Lyceum.

but reading it again, it doesn't sound like he was captured anymore--for some reason I thought we had to break him out of a guarded area based on the wording. Gabal I forgot about because it's been so long and because my character has reason to disbelieve that Gabal has a way out--she tried him first before going to the Resistance, and he has a *very* good reason to have helped her if he could)

Xander nods at his companions, and points deeper into the city with his greatsword. "I suggest we get underway to meet this 'Badgerface' fellow. If enemy troops find their way into the city, we will find ourselves fighting for every inch of ground."

 

[Erekose13]

Torrent nods at the various comments offered. "Very well, it sounds like most of you wish to seek aid at Gabal's School. That's fine with me, I'll go along with just about any plan you cook up."

"Now, here's what I had in mind for after we get out of the city. There's a little-traveled road that leads south thirty miles to the border of the Innenotdar Fire Forest. The Elf Road used to run straight through into Dassen, but that was before whatever catastrophe happened that set off the neverending forest fire. Anyway, all the other major roads that lead to Dassen will either be impassable with snow, or crawling with Ragesian soldiers. So, I brought along an ace up my sleeve that will let us take the unexpected route...potions that will let us survive the heat of the Fire Forest. There's enough for all of us, and I doubt any pursuers we might attract will be as prepared."

Torrent sighs, and contemplates her empty mug, then sets it down hard on the table. "All right, then, if nobody has anything else to say, we should get moving to the depository." Torrent's words hang in the sudden silence, as the New Years bells have stopped their ringing.

(ooc: ah okay now I get it. depository first. figure out how to get out of city second (possibly with help from Gabal) The above quote is what I was remembering from the conversation just before combat broke out).

"Oh right that gnome. Lets go now before one of those falls on us." replies Taren.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I concur. Torrent, there's only one depository of which I know in the area. That's the one, right? Everyone let's go."

(OOC: Which just got me thinking--isn't the entire adventure derailed if the enemies manage to accidentally crit and kill Torrent in that first battle? )
