Ptolus: The Legend of Longcoat

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Staring at the rune circle, Vanden tilts his head this way and that, attempting to separate the runes from the decorative style in which they've been rendered, merging them with stylized sea waves. After a moment, he realizes he's probably looking at Draconic runes, which are commonly used by wizards and students of magic.

On his feet in a flash, the beatstick raised above his head Garn snarls as he looks around for Longcoat. As he catches sight of the burned and smashed corpse he seems to be entranced by the flames and his ragged rapid breathing eases. He says "That him? That's him. Yeah. That's twice he caught me before I could smash him." Then almost as if he's not aware he's saying it out loud he mutters in a whisper "Its over mom. He's dead now." and his club lowers towards the ground.

He looks around "Anybody got a bottle? I could use a drink."

"Bottle's there," Ada points to the empty one that contained the potion. "We can fill it with liquor if you like. Hells, I'll buy you one." She says, lifting up some of the coins, which she has been counting.

"So we're done here right?"

Maugra was about to offer Garn a hand up, but with weapons and teeth brisling, she is glad she didnt have the chance. Nodding to Ada, she says, "Yes I think that we need to get out of here. This place is making me nausious."

Maugra was about to offer Garn a hand up, but with weapons and teeth brisling, she is glad she didnt have the chance. Nodding to Ada, she says, "Yes I think that we need to get out of here. This place is making me nausious."

Hearing Maugra's words Garnet nods in agreement. The young sorcerer does not hesitate and begins to walk to the tunnel that leads back to the cellar of the old tavern.

Seeing that the group consensus seems to be to leave, Vanden quickly removes a sheet of parchment from his scroll case and takes out some chalk. Using techniques he learned scribing documents for the Sisters, he copies as closely as he can the runes on the pentagram.

 

[Trench]

Ada lists the entire chest and carries it with her as they walk.

"Been a good day," she says.

 

[Voadam]

"What's the final haul?" Garn asks Ada, his attention drawn back to coins and the offer of a drink.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Longcoat's strongbox contained 200 silver pieces, 70 gold pieces, the silver ring carved with dolphins, the two potions (one of which is now in Garn's belly) and various grisly souvenirs kept by Longcoat.

 

[Erekose13]

"Good thought Vanden, perhaps we can have those runes translated once we get out of this horrible place." Taking what they are, Maugra leads the way back out up to the main room of the old inn.
