Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

Impatiented, Muzdum urges the priest "Quickly damn ya'! My friend is ill! I f ya' don't cure him, he'll eat ya' up! Look!" the dwarf says, pointing at Ahodan hungry eyes.

At Muzdum's suggestion of cannibalism, Aohdans stomach growled quite loudly. For an uncomfortable moment, the thought that was voiced in jest actually sounded appealing -as though it was just what Aohdan was hungry for. Moments later it was gone and Aohdan's expression of hunger had sobered into one of pleading. "Help me, please!" he said to the priest.
 


OOC: We didn't hear from Amaury and Helfdan last week. Let me know what's going on in the OOC thread. Thanks.

The Frontier City of Delagund in the Duchy of Vedlund, The Inn common room

A man in well kept but road dusty studded leather armor and uniform of the Azgund Guard enters the common room and addresses the barkeep, diverting his attention from Johen, "Innkeep, the northern patrol just came in. Would you see to the men's meals and other needs while I report to Lord Ezra?"

The innkeep nods, "Aye, Captain Pirren, 'tis my pleasure as usual." As the captain exits and road weary guards begin to filter in, the innkeep and the serving staff busy themselves with taking care of their needs. A group of six men and women in total enter the common room, equipped for the wilderness and danger, with light armor, bows, and short swords.

The Frontier City of Delagund in the Duchy of Vedlund, Shrine of the Healing Light

The young priest tends to Aohdan and Valen, though his expression is worried, "You were attacked by ghouls? We have no one available that could magically relieve their ailment. We shall have to rely on their ability to fight off the disease and my healing skills. If that should prove insufficient though..." He pauses and pulls Muzdum aside, out of earshot of Aohdan and Valen (OOC: Though they can make a DC 10 Listen check to hear anyway), "If the disease kills them, they shall rise again as ghouls themselves. They will be a threat to the community and I...I cannot allow that. You...you do understand what that means, I hope?"

The Frontier City of Delagund in the Duchy of Vedlund, Adventurer's Guild office

The hook nosed woman nods and writes down everything Alaric says, "I'll send word back to the capital. Do you have any other business? Loot to sell, that sort of thing?"

Corath observes nothing out of the ordinary in the small library, though she does note the arrival of the guard patrol across the way at the inn.
 


Upon seeing the azundi soldiers, Johen decides to retreat to a corner of the main room, watching the crowd and listening to their conversation. He doesn't the soldiers tp notice him.
 

Alaric the Alchemist

Alaric does see if the Adventurer's Guild or any other place in town will trade for the statuette he found in the quarry foreman's office. He'd like to trade it for some coinage to distribute among the group, and if he can get enough gold in his share from the trade, he'll look to purchase an arcane scroll of Burning Hands or Magic Missile from the Adventurer's Guild, if available. "I must be prepared if we encounter another gang of zombies...." he says.

If he cannot afford or find a scroll, Alaric will instead look to purchase a flask of acid or alchemist's fire, preferably the former. He doesn't think he has the time right now to spend 3 days brewing up a flask's worth himself, though it'd be cheaper.
 

"Ya' two stay here, Ah'll be back soon" and Muzdum runs to the inn.

He ignores the soldiers, and approach Johen. "Ya' won't believe me, but Ahodan and Valen have the ghoul disease! In the temple they say that they can't fix 'em!! And and... if they die they'll became ghouls themselves!!" Muzdum says all this fast, looking his companions with frenetic eyes.

Estelle looks William in the eyes for a moment, before bringing her gaze down to her untouched food, "I don't know what happened at the rock foundry, I really don't know. Some voice, some man came into my head and told me things, compelled me to get the stone. I didn't even know it was there and then the next thing I knew I was attacking him. I don't know. It's just, sometimes I have these urges, these flashes of anger that get into my head and make me do these crazy things."

She pauses, taking a deep breath.

"I left my home because I attacked a boy. He was someone I'd grown up with, played with in the fields. He was like my brother, like all of us kids. And one day, we were alone by the river, he said something about my mother and then next thing I knew he was laying face down on the bank with blood all the place. They ran me out of town after that. I don't even know what happened. I didn't mean to do anything, and he lived, but it wasn’t the same. It’s just these urges, I don’t know when they come and I can’t control them when I do. And then when that stone was crushed, my head exploded it felt and then the same voice spoke to me, told me that he’d see me soon, and called me his daughter. I never had a father, and my mother died giving birth to me. I don’t know. If you want answers, I don’t have them. I just have to try and control what I do and deal with it when I can’t control it.”

William sat for a few, long moments studying her, his face a little whiter than usual. When he finally did speak, his voice was strained. "Some evil force is trying to take hold of you, Estelle. Please, if you ever feel this way again, tell me. I'm certain I can help you." He reached out his hand and placed it on top of hers. "But you must trust me. I am on a search for answers myself, as it seems are several of our companiosn. Perhaps together, we can find what we are really looking for."
