renau1g's Red Hand of Doom

[s@squ@tch]

Virashil

Virashil listens with half an ear while she stares at the cheesecake on the counter.

She is drawn back into the present when the town-speaker mentions an entire hobgoblin tribe.

Her eyes shift away from the kitchen area and focus intently on the older man -- taking in the features of his face, the tone of his voice.

After he is finished speaking, she breaks her silence and says,"A question for you -- where are the hobgoblins are mustering from? If you do not know, then where, in your opinion, would they be mustering from?"

 

[renau1g]

Soranna speaks up at the question, "Well, unfortunately my scouts have been unable to locate their hideout, but they did manage to track the hobgoblins to the edges of the Witchwood" the woman replies, her frustration is apparent at the inability to determine the hobgoblins location, at least to Zazz & Hurrow.

 

[Rhun]

At Zazz's request the speaker will reply "I can offer as much as 500 gold pieces each, if you drive off the hobgoblins, plus you can keep whatever you find on their bodies."

Zazz smiles and nods. "Getting paid to kill hobgoblins? I'm in."

 

[renau1g]

Zazz smiles and nods. "Getting paid to kill hobgoblins? I'm in."

The speaker's face brightens at Zazz's statement "Excellent! Thank Lathandar!" as he claps his hands together excitedly; "I hope I can count on the rest of you?" he asks

Not sure if you're familiar with the FR deities (they're the ones I'm most comfortable with)

Lathander (pronounced lah-THAN-der [1]), whose title is The Morninglord, is the neutral good deity of creativity, dawn, renewal, birth, athletics, spring, self-perfection, vitality and youth.

Hurrow

"Yes, I think we can handle some hobgoblins. But can you guarantee housing for us here if we must return?" Hurrow raises his mug of ale towards the pair. "After we're finished, your town will not be troubled any longer."

"Yes, I think we can handle some hobgoblins. But can you guarantee housing for us here if we must return?" Hurrow raises his mug of ale towards the pair. "After we're finished, your town will not be troubled any longer."

"Of course, your room and board will be covered here at the Old Bridge Inn as long as you are working on behalf of the town. As well, if you perform this task I can procure a curative item from our local religious order to assist your efforts." The speaker replies.

 

[Graf]

Once he's been reminded that board means food Brodi enthusiastically signs up.

 

[renau1g]

Receiving the good news of the adventurers acceptance, the Speaker's grin goes from ear to ear. He practically skips out of the tavern after thanking you again for your assistance.

Sorrana turns and begins to leave with more poise after a brief nod, before stopping just short of the door.

"If you're going to be heading to the Witchwood, I'd advise you to seek out Jorr. He knows the woods like the back of his hand, and you won't be finding a better guide. His cabin is out of the way, but it might be worth the trip. If you're walking on the Dawn Way, take a right on the trail about nine miles from the forests edge. Jorr's cabin is near the Blackwater" the guard captain says, before pushing the heavy oaken door open letting the fading light of the day in, and leaving the inn.

It's now getting to be late afternoon and the sun is beginning its descent towards the horizon.

 

[Rhun]

"Do we wait until morning, or do we head into the woods?" asks Zazz, finishing off his mug of ale. "While I wouldn't mind a comfortable bed and a few more drinks, I'd feel badly if these hobgoblins visited any more of their foul business upon innocent travellers. And Mask knows, I certainly prefer working in the darkness."

Hurrow stares into the fireplace. He speaks softly, but with an edge, "I have no qualms about continuing on now. With all the hobgoblins about, I fear Jorr might be dead, but we should be the first to prove otherwise." Hurrow smoothes out his dark braided hair, tucking it behind his ears.
