PFS #51: The Shadow Gambit

[soulnova]

"Tsk, tsk" Lanel rises a finger "C'mon cupcake, don't make this more difficult than it needs to be. Your friend's dead was a mistake from HIS part. My personal rule is not kill anyone who doesn't try to kill you first. You can save your other comrades if we move fast enough and clear all this confusion...or..." he looked back and nodded to his Andoran companions, making sure the ledger is secure. "... we will have to leave you tied and locked up in here. Who knows when we will be coming back, IF we come back. You might very well die here if they get us first. I heard starvation is an unpleasant thing to experience..."

If the goons still don't want to help they should be placed on a small area... a pantry? a closet?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"I got no other comrades, cupcake. These here are my mates. That's my brother y' killed; I don't begrudge y' his death, as he knew the life he chose, but that don't mean I'll be helping y' along, neither. Find Besel yerself. It shouldn't be too hard . . . he's only about the third most powerful man in Kaer Maga, after old Merriman and maybe one of his cousins."

 

[soulnova]

He will place the goons at a closet or pantry as planned and lock them up.


"So, what do you suggest?" he turns to his comrades "Should we go look for Besel or try to search around for more suspects? Because, well, for all we know, our work here is done. The society lodge won't be build after this..." he crossed his arms "... but of course, there's still the question of who gave Horis such an order and to know the so called members of the Society who were causing trouble."

 

[Helfdan]

"Let's go talk to this Besel, then... I'll have to stop at a temple along the way, though. This wound is pretty deep."

 

[PeteZero]

"At least its a lead, so, best thing." Dogan adds.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

GM: Sorry - I think that I was originally waiting for definitive action, and now I'm thinking you've given me one.

There's a tentative knocking on the door, followed by a young boys head. He looks around hesitantly, then quickly puts on his facade of blasé unconcern. "All finished up in here, are you? Um . . . everything OK?"

 

[soulnova]

"Yeah boy, don't worry about it." Horis' and the other goon should be out of sight or covered with a blanket by now. "Seems like our friend left a note for us to go look for him with... who is it? Besel? Besel Ardoc?" he reads the note casually. "Seems like someone trashed his house and he went to look for help with Ardoc. We better help him too. Do you know where we can find Besel Ardoc?"

He starts leading the way out to avoid the kid from looking inside. Afterwards they will go find a cleric, say the usual "We got mugged", get healed and follow the directions of the kid.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Gav looks uncertain for a moment, but allows himself to be led from the house and calms quickly. "Well, of course I know who Besel Ardoc is . . . and of course I can find out where he's hanging out. But it'll take a while. Meantime, there's a tavern owned by a priest of Cayden Cailean about three blocks thataway, on the third tier . . . that's three flights up. You can get healed if you've got the cash, and wait there for me."

 

[Helfdan]

Kalenth smiles despite the pain in his side. "A tavern and healing... Sounds like a fine combination, my young friend! We shall meet you there."

 

[PeteZero]

"Sure," Dogan adds, "why not?"
