RESTARTED - Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

[Legildur]

Kurt readily serves himself a drink (and anyone else that gestures for one) before relaxing in the audience chamber.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Having had little to eat as yet this morning, Verdis isn't ready for strong drink and simply settles into a chair to wait. "What's all the rush about anyway?" he asks no one in particular.

Trevor Champlaign, Human Rog3Ftr2,AC20/16/14,HP36/36,+1Lngswd+8,1-8+3, F+8,R+8,W+3

Trevor nestles sumptuously amongst the many overstuffed pillows heaped around him in the comfy chair. "You know, Verdis, I was just wondering that very thing myself. Personally speaking, I could sit right here for a few days, at least."

 

[Rhun]

It isn't long before Lord Burne joins you in the audience room. As always, he is well groomed, and wearing luxurious robes of silk. He smiles at you as he enters. "Ah, my friends...how fare thee? It has been a few days since anyone had seen you, and we were beginning to worry." He takes a seat in a large, comfortably padded armchair facing you. "What have you learned?"

 

[Leif]

Trevor Champlaign, Human Rog3Ftr2,AC20/16/14,HP36/36,+1Lngswd+8,1-8+3, F+8,R+8,W+3

Trevor, momentarily amazed by the question from Lord Burne, will look inquisitively at his companions (Kurt in particular), trusting that they know what in the blazes Lord Burne is talking about.

OOC: This is the first time that Trevor has ever laid eyes on Lord Burne, so he has no idea about any 'mission' that the party is undertaking for him, but that seems to be what M'Lord Burne is asking about, at least to Trev's socially-untrained, roguish ear. Trevor will, therefore, excercise the better part of valor and remain uncharacteristically silent.

 

[Rhun]

If Burne's bright green eyes even notice that Trevor is a newcomer to the group, or that some members of the group have disappeared since you had last visited the tower, he never shows it on his face. He simply leans back in his chair, strokes the well-kept spade-shaped beard on his chin, and waits for someone to speak.

 

[Boddynock]

Ragnok, who has been ignoring the rest of the party and muttering to himself while waiting for Burne to arrive, stands abruptly and strides over to confront the mage.

"Never mind that. I need you to enchant my axe. I want you to make it a flaming weapon."

He frowns, for that was not what he intended to say. Shock would be a better quality to use in the Temple. Still, you could never have too much flame! Let it stand!

"Now I know that you magickers are greedy for gold - even more than we dwarves are said to be. Well don't worry - I have your money. But don't waste my time. I've vengeance to seek. I don't care a fig for your concerns - only for destroying those who killed my brother.

He half turns away, then faces Burne again and says venomously, "And don't think you can cheat me. You're not the only one with magic. Cross me and I'll call down the fires of hell on you. You'll not get another warning."

 

[stonegod]

Coraine, remaining silent as he was not sure how best to sum up their time in the Temple, looked askance at the dwarf. While the holy warrior felt something in himself had changed recently, this seemed out of sorts for the dwarf.

OOC: Sense Motive to sense magical influence: 15

 

[Leif]

Trevor Champlaign, Human Rog3Ftr2,AC20/16/14,HP36/36,+1Lngswd+8,1-8+3, F+8,R+8,W+3

Trevor, surprised by the venom in Ragnok's voice, opts to remain silent at the present juncture. (He's never heard anyone speak to a mage of obvious power in this manner before!)

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

The warlock quickly regains his composure after the shock of the Dwarf's demand. "We've made good progress and I believe now we've done significant damage to the temple of fire as well as earth and water. However, the overlords of the place have yet to be faced."
