renau1g's Fort Belurian Adventure [Pathfinder]

[Scott DeWar]

without any further word, Vernon proceds to follow theothers. He does however note the lack of a working dock, the likes of which is why there has been on word. No way for outgoing vessels and therfore no way for outgoing word.

Iffy will also prepare to move out, as soon as Captain Morgan gives him an answer to the question he asked (post 139).

"Yes, let's go and meet this 'Lord' Henri. Perhaps you could inform us of the rank of his nobility and the origin of his title, so that we will know how to properly address and salute him?" Iffy figures that Lord Henri has probably given himself the title, but such a direct accusation would probably be very ill-advised.

OOC: Just in case: Iffy's charisma check to go with asking the rank of Nobility of this "Lord." (1d20+5=21)

Is this question to the good ol' Captain or to Anna?

Captain Morgan turns to Iffy and whispers "Just between you and me, I heard he ain't no noble, but bought into it with some well placed bribes. He ain't got no heritage as far as I understand it, but like I said, this stays 'tween us, least I can do fer you saving my ship and my crew" as he pats the gnome on the shoulder then turns back to organizing the crew.

As the group moves out, you are ushered past a group of small thatched huts that Anna explains is where the majority of the residents stay and their primitive construction is due to a lack of building supplies. She stops you before a much larger version of the huts built on a slightly raised foundation of rough-hewn planks. Single windows mark each of the huts walls, except the north (where you're at), which bears two open doorframes. Hide flaps cover the windows and doorways.

Anna holds you up for a moment as she goes inside to alert his lordship of your arrival. Passing individuals give you a suspicious glance before continuing on their way. After a few moments, Anna pops her head back out of the doorway and gestures you inside. You are shown to a large seating room, complete with a wall of books, and a pair of couches. Lord Henri is seated when you arrive and as you enter the room he rises and stands over a large circular table that the couches flank. The man is slim and handsome, with jet-black hair, a thin mustache and blue eyes. His clothing is well maintained despite the rather spartan conditions of the other citizens here.

"I understand you are willing to help me destroy the dragon that plagues my fort. I admire your courage. Many good soldiers have given their lives to protect my walls, yet the beast continues its assaults.

The X's on this map show the directions taken by my patrols that I sent to hunt the dragon, following its first attack. The circled X's indicate two patrols that have yet to return. One or both could have found the creatures lair.

I suggest you leave immediately while its trail remains fresh as it only recently was turned away. If you expect a reward for your efforts, I want the beast's teeth as proof of the demise. The lieutenant can address and questions you have. Good hunting" Lord Henri says dismissively as he returns to his seat, while Anna leads you from the room.

After Anna takes us back outside, Iffy will say, "So, is there somewhere that we can go to draw provisions and any last minute equipment needs that we have, or are we just, um, thrown to the dragon as we now stand, so to speak."

As you exit the room, you notice that it begins to rain, lightly at first, but then with greater intesity, not quite storming, but a constant rain, which makes the ground muddy.

Anna turns to Iffy, "Well, what are you looking for? We can provide you with any travelling supplies you need, rations, water, that sort of stuff, but I don't think we have much in the way of gear that you adventuring types would need. Hells the gear on one of you is probably more valuable than anything in camp."

[sblock=OOC]
That being said they can procure most non-magical mundane items, up to 200 gp.

Any item is 25% above market price here, except rations/water are provided free of charge for up to a week's worth

"I was mainly talking about food and water, but it also occurs to me that we might make use of a few good, stout coils of rope, too, if we might be provided with those? Oh, and we'll definitely be needing some dental tools to cut out the dragon's teeth! And a box to put them in!"

[sblock=For renau1g]
Did we ever get an answer as to what type, size, etc of dragon this is?

Nope, the woman was in a hurry.

"The beast was half again as tall as the pallisade, with mottled green skin and a huge jaws filled with enormous teeth" she replies to enquiries regarding its appearance.
