renau1g's Fort Belurian Adventure [Pathfinder]

[Leif]

Gnomiferous "Iffy" P. Quackenbush, Gnome Divine Sorcerer

To Anna, Iffy says, "Oh, one more thing! Before the ship that we arrived on departs again, could you please send a courier to ask Captain Morgan if he could bear to part with a cask of his delicious spiced rum? Tell him the thirsty Gnome will gladly pay."

[sblock=OOC]I've been holding off on making that "joke" for as long as I can, but I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE! (It's not really that much of a joke anyway, though, is it?)[/SBLOCK]

 

[Scott DeWar]

[sblock=ooc to leif] I was going to ask if you had a bit of the captain inya, but that didn't sound quite right.[/sblock]

Venon returns the supicious glares with jsut as suspicious a glare to the mercs who dar4e. after the inter view with the 'lord' and the sbsequent dismissal, vernon asks ann at the first break between inquars of iffy if she has any likely hood of a guess as to which of the two pathes were more likely, such as which way did the dragon take off toward the last time, and is it the same direction as the others. as the rain falls heavier his concern grows.

 

[Shayuri]

Maighan takes in the fort, the lord, the revelations of the attacking creature, all with the same quiet equanimity she'd shown through the trip. The source of the howling, if not known already, was also revealed; a wolf the size of a small horse with coarse, bristly grey and black fur. Out of respect for it and for the people in the fort, she leaves her companion on a hillside outside the walls...though is careful to tell Anna and one of the guards that it's not a threat.

Finally, as it seems that the information is slowing, and preparations are being made, the elf maid pulls her rain-soaked hair back under her circlet to keep it out of her eyes and says, "I'm going to check with Ragnar around the fort before this rain obliterates the tracks. We should be able to track it back."

She eyes the palisade wall, then looks back at Anna.

"You say it was half again taller than the wall. Did it stand upright, more or less, or walk on four legs? When it attacked, what did it do? Bite? Claw? Did it breathe out destruction, like fire or poison?"

 

[Rhun]

Baelor hefts his axe, ready to move out and hunt some dragon. He didn't care for the "lord's" manner much, but if there was a dragon to be slain, he was certainly up to the challenge.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Mourn Braegan

Mourn checks his equipment, making sure all is in readiness for this upcoming test to determine whether it would be him or the beast meeting Kelemvor next.

"Looks like Baelor has our dental tools covered . . . now all we need is rope and rations! And, I suppose, some idea of which trail to follow." The last is said with a nod to Vernon and Maighan.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"Well, I have 19 days of rations and we can come back to restock. I have 50 feet of rop, so I am good on that.We were shown two possible choices to follow, so ...Hmmm.

Whe we guards men had a choice between two possibilities and only had one group to follow said possibilities we used a very ancient and escoteric ritual to decide."

He pulls out a gold coin and tosses it, "heads west, tales east"
1d2=1
"Heads. There was a trail wohere the patrol has not returned directly to the west. I recommend to take that one. The way we were dismissed I would say he expects us to move atominoulsy, so shall we head out?"
*ting!*

"Vernon, the scientific exactitude of your process simply boggles the mind," sighs Iffy. "I recommend that we at least try to gather the available intelligence to see which is the proper path, rather than just blindly stumbling down one, following the dictates of Vernon's coinage."

 

[Rhun]

Baelor grins at Vernon. "By Vergadain, I like it!" says the dwarf. "Not only does the coin make the choice for us, but it will also indicate the type o' luck we're to expect on this outting."

"Preserve me, Garl Glittergold! I've fallen amongst the heathen!"

 

[Scott DeWar]

then iffy, pleas lead on with your investigations. we have no answers to any of our questions...the two paths are equidistant and the rain is diminshing our chances of tracking in a very fast rate. it looked on the map that each trail is equdistant from here. so, which way eoes you nose say to choose?
