Power of the Forge - The Whispering mines

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

The prince's counselor arrives with a mug of ale in his hand, "come sit with me", he tell you and walks to the chairs.
"5 years ago, those mines used to be a main source of silver, but then when our friends dug deeper into mother earth they found emeralds also and other things .... He gets chill.
We suspect that underground creatures dug in this place before us and the cave that we entered was some kind of cemetery area
All of our friends died and only two survived, they ran like all the demons in the abyss were after them. They said that death himself butcherd their friends.
One of them died last year and the other one left Gorgamdur.
We decided to put portcullis to ensure that no one will enter those mines again, there is a lever on the wall and a hidden lever on the other side
We suspect that the map of the upper levels are somewhere in those mines, but I don't think that someone ever mapped the deep levels, we know that there is wooden elevators and cart rails in there." He then waves his hand to Captain Tagor.
One of the elders approach, you identify him as Captain Tagor Goblinsmiter, a retired warrior that now works only from his office.
And is in charge of all the patrols, shifts, and defenses of Prince's Gorash army.
"One of the groups I sent to patrol the hills found out a week ago Goblin's foot prints, they followed the prints, they lead into those mines, they came back to me terrified and stuned. After a couple of days I sent another patrol but they spotted nothing on the snow, but they spotted garbage on the ground near the entrance".
The counselor continues from here, "We suspect goblinoids occupying the upper levels and I don't want to think what below,
Now – Kaen your job is to find those maps and any information that can help us, Kalzaam and Rogno– You must recover the altar and the holy equipment, you must find the two magically candlesticks , Alisanos and Kragen you need to protect the group and Thimur – we can use your profession as stoneworker to seal the deep mines with the help of the others."

OOC: If someone can open a new message in the character's page and post all the Party equipment over there, he will be responsible to edit it every time, OK ?

two dwarfs enter the chamber with sacks
"Huh, here they are"
says the elder that controls all the mines of Kurkador's clan
He signals them to come. "Listen, you will need this equipment"
The dwarfs put the sacks on the ground
"there are 2 sacks in here, 3 hemp ropes, 1 chain, 2 crowbars, grappling hook, 3 miner's pick and 1 shovel. It will help you in there, we don't know what's the elevator's and Bronze ladders condition. The other stuff is for sealing the Entrance when you return from the deep mines.

On behalf of Ranger Rick

Alisanos interduce himself to the others..
And goes to the ale and fruit area.

That means that the first mission is to recover the maps, so it can help us to discover the altar and the magical candlesticks, so we can all get out of there and close once for all the mines! huun... sounds interesting... Rogno scratches his head confused… What was i doing in those mines?... errr... can someone explain us the meaning of magical candlesticks? if we recover it, can it be useful for something? can Khalzam use those magical items?

 

[Krug]

"Protect the group? Sounds easy enough. And goblins to slay huh? I'll stick me bolts in their heads and we'll be getting the maps or whatever we need to get in a hurry! HURHURHUR!" says Kregan, his armor, composed of bits and pieces of other pieces of armor crudely smelted and woven together, clinking.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

errr... can someone explain us the meaning of magical candlesticks? if we recover it, can it be useful for something? can Khalzam use those magical items?

Sela the high priest of Moradin turns to you "This everburning magical candle sticks brought light when the dwarfs in the mines prayed in the morning to a good day in work, you must recover them and bring them to the temple"
The Elder the controls the mines gives you the location of the mines although those of you who patrols outside like Kragen knows the area.
"Tonight we drink" Says the Prince's counselar "Tomorrow you leave" he raises the mug in the air "To the Prince!!"
Everyone raises there mugs, and a few bards starts to sing and bit the drums

Satisfied with the questions his new partymembers have asked, Kalzaam raises his mug.

To the Prince, may Tyr protect him and to Moradin, may is altar shine once more!

Kalzaam seems a bit more Joly for the first time in the great hall and after some more ales he starts to loosen up (sp).

Our adventure reminds me of a story I once heard when I was younger, who wants it heard, so that we may learn from it for the days to come

OOC: I'm not quite sure how I want to play Kalzaam. When i visualize him, I see an experienced warrior, who has seen a lot, but I constantly have to remind me I'm still at zero level.

I'll experiment a bit with roleplaying him until I like him. Maybe (just very maybe) I'll change his background a bit to suit my needs, if that's ok.

 

[Krug]

"Aye! More drink! M-more drinkie! To the deaf of a thousand goblins and To... to candles! I mean sticks!" shouts Kregan, quaffing down his ale in one mighty gulp, as foam and beer drip down his scraggly beard.

 

[Jaiaxe]

Ic... I dont want to be zee pain in tha hess... but when do we leave?... i think its time to me to face mother earth again, deep inside in my dreams... Rogno is already drunk, the quality of the ale, and the sum of alchool are making things a little bit fuzzy for him... i already loose my conscience once... one year ago... i wont let no one down... Rogno slowly stand up... for all of you, it had been a pleasure to party along with you, and an honor to be in the Ruby Hall... he raise his mug and drink in honour of all, the ale swifts easy trough his throat and in a quick move, he brakes the mug against the table, with a smile of honor and strength...

 

[jkason]

Kaen takes it all in. He lifts his mug for all the toasts, but despite what seem lots of hearty gulps, actually nurses his drink most of the night, collecting abandoned mugs to make it look like he's keeping up. He sings along and otherwise seems to carouse, but he never quite relinquishes control and actually gets drunk.

"We leave in the morning, Rogno" he assures his confused companion. "So drink up, for I suspect the next few days will be sober, indeed."
