[PbP] Big Trouble in the Tzin

[Mr Fidgit]

"Make dragon," repeats the hobgoblin. "Take kobold and refine -- look, in letter."

(OOC - does the letter have pictures in it, or something? -/OOC)

OOC: No, he's assuming you can read it (I didn't say he was intelligent).

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

[What abou the hobgoblin? Was he bluffing?]

"Yes, the letter. Now read us the damn thing and let's get this over with. Or I can cut your throat now and find someone else who can read it."

[As noted, I can read Common, Orc, Kobold and Dwarf. Just checking I can't read it myself.]

 

[randomling]

No, Marak, you really can't read the letter.

"All right. It says:" (he reads aloud)


Sir,

Re: draconicus spell
Contract concerning materials for refining process states two more kobolds are necessary. Please deliver adult specimens to 11 Caruntzin St at midnight on the Day of the Dance. Payment is 300 gold per viable specimen, as agreed.

Sincerely,

AM

"Does he have the right address?" - to Berwan. "If so, what's going on?"

 

[randomling]

Berwan: yes, this is 11 Caruntzin Street.

"Does he have the right address?" - to Berwan. "If so, what's going on?"

"'Two more'? What is going on here!?" (looking around, astonished) Of course the address is correct...draconicus spell...refining process...?

(OOC - have i ever heard of this 'draconicus spell'? can i make a Knowledge: Arcana check or something? /OOC)

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

[I think this is a good place to leave it...get some other characters up to speed and involved in the room? Does anyone else agree? I can't think of anything else to do with just us!]

 

[randomling]

OOC: Yeah, this is a good place to stop for the moment. Let's just resolve Berwan's questions, then we'll leave it alone till the other guys can post.

Berwan, Knowledge Arcana check please. If Marak and Horax want to make Knowledge Arcana checks too, they can.

 

[Mr Fidgit]

[Knowledge Arcana: 19 + 8 = 27!]
