Q'Barra: Facing Truth

[Shayuri]

"Of course, Sepoto," Trebuchet agrees, "I will call out so you may join me in repelling the attack."

To the old man he replies, "Oh, no. Since I won't be sleeping, a bed will not be required. Thank you for thinking of it though."

He takes a position in the middle of the room and...just watches, occasionally turning to look out another window, only the gleam from his eyes visible in the darkness.

[sblock] Sepoto follows the others to the inn, wishes them good night, and then returns for a quick scouting circuit of the neighborhood around Kassel's home. He then ascends the tree and watches the house from a higher vantage point for a time, before taking his sleep. [/sblock]

Diary of Catherine Valeska - Entry Three

Sar, 20th of Eyre, 998 YK

Today we arrived in Havenwood, and met with John Kassel, the leader of the settlement. Our suspicions were confirmed as it turns out that there is far more going on here than originally reported. It turns out that were no lizardfolk attacks at all. While I detest the deceit on the part of the citizens, it seems as though they had no choice. A radical druid cult of terrorists known as the Children of Winter have laid siege to the town by threatening to blight the town's food supplies and livestock. They gave the town an ultimatum, drive off the Deep Mist tribe or be destroyed. I wonder why the druids want the lizardfolk gone?

I learned about their philosophies of natural order and cycle of life, but I just can't believe that anyone could really believe this stuff. By killing the innocent you could help bring about a golden age. What nonsense. The best course is to live your life according to the tenets of the Host, and not some back to nature, tree worshipping nonsense.

In explaining the situation to John, I more or less took control of the mission. As a result, Darrick began addressing me as Captain in front of the townsfolk. I responded by calling him my lieutenant. So I guess the list the Captain, Lieutenant, and 4 Sergeants. Hopefully that nomenclature will keep the townsfolk happy, even though they were hoping for a much larger expeditionary force. Anyways, hooray for field commissions!

Tomorrow we set out to find their childrens' base of operations and put an end to their threats and dishonorable actions.

May the goddess grant us the grace and honor to save the innocent and punish the wicked.

-Catherine

(Yes, into the Inn)

When the group arrives at the Inn they are met by Gilda Cooper. She greets them pleasantly and shows them to two rooms at the back of the Inn. "I saw you all leaving with John, so I guess you're the reinforcements we were hoping for. There will be no charge for the rooms, of course, you're the ones who will save our town, after all! Please, get some rest. It's nothing fancy, but the beds are clean and comfortable."

Night settles over the town, and the noise outside quiets. The night is unnaturally still, just like the nights that the group spent on the trail.

[sblock=OOC](If you guys would like to talk more in the rooms, go ahead. I will have another post up tonight.)[/sblock]

Kaelan

Kaelan takes sharpens and shines his weapons and armor before he goes to sleep. The unnatural silence was really starting to unnerve him. Kaelan kept his armor on while he slept, it was light enough not to bother him. It is also always good to be prepared; Although Kassel said the townsfolk were not working for the Children of Winter, he didn't entirely trust the people here. They had lied once already afterall. They might be simply confused, but Charles could be right; hopefully Kassel wasn't in danger. Charles can handle himself though. With Sepoto and Treb watching things should be okay.

"Be ready," Darrick says quietly to the others before retiring. "I really don't expect anything to occur tonight, but one never knows what desperate -- or mad -- men might do."

As he prepares for sleep, he makes very sure that his sword is close by his bed...and, with a sigh, he arranges his armor as best he can on a chair before the door. Rather precarious, but likely to make an impressive clatter should someone try to enter surreptitiously.

He eyes the window for a moment, but then sighs and shakes his head. He feels silly enough about the level of paranoia he's already displayed....

 

[BRP2]

Charles is quick to go to bed. He is slightly worried about Treb. If they break him, we can just put him back together right? That's how they work I think.

He applies drow poison to spear, in preparation for tomorrow. He does so without trouble. (Poison % (1d100=65))

He is off to bed after a few nods and waves to his comrades.
