Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Cthulhudrew]

Been wondering what became of Akilu. Hope we don't come across any Longcoat shrines featuring our favorite former party members like the one in the alley earlier.

OK, both Trench and Pitchwife are still interested. They'll have been involved in a parallel Odd Couple investigation and just be arriving at the Ten Bells.

Hey Whizbang / All,

Just checking in. Shall Trench and I work anything out between us first privately, or just start nattering?

 

[Trench]

I can natter or we can work it out. Ada's pretty mercenary in her motivations for this.

Although who's your character Pitchwife? I don't see them on the Character thread.

D'oh, not sure I posted him from the old recruitment thread. Lemme see if I can dig him up rather than recreate him (not that it'd be that difficult, 1st level and all). Short version: Jarem, paladin of Lothian, local boy makes good, still has a soft spot for his old stomping grounds.

So, here's a top-of-my-head idea to tie a string around us: we've seen each other around the neighborhoods for years, both hear about the plot point Whiz posted. I figure I should check it out (civic duty and all) and invite you along. Mercenary though you are, it's a slow night and we're at least a little acquainted, so you give it a shrug and an "ok."

Thoughts?

Jarem's in one of the first pages of this thread.

Ah. I remember him. Got it.

Given that Ada's day job is a waitress at the Onyx Spider and a backdoor madam by night, I'd be very curious to hear why a paladin would hang in such places... She is interested in the Longcoat killings, because she's afraid it'll be bad for business but really has no care for the people or killings at all besides how it effects her future.

I could almost see her approaching him first and hoping his goody-good nature would make her look good by association for future employees. But if he, for some reason, approached her she'd see it as the good publicity her burgeoning business needs. Plus, he's another target to distract from her considerable bulk.

You two can come in whenever you're ready. We'll run things as a split group until everyone finds everyone else.

Hey Trench,

He's got a calling, and he believes, but he grew up in the Warrens. He sees a lot of those people as lost, but he's more compassionate than disdainful. His personality is closer to that 20th level Paladin of Gaen whose name I can't recall at the moment. Anyway, Jarem knowing Ada is no problem for him, and he probably has popped into the Onyx Spider on occasion. It doesn't have to be a close association, but we know each other on sight, sorta thing.

 

[Trench]

Sounds good to me. Ada tries to distance herself as much as possible from her past in the Warrens, so she'd be salty toward Jarem just because he reminds her of where she came from- but the fact that he made something of himself probably makes her pretty envious, and on some level maybe even hopeful.
