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

Kurt's brow furroughs at Ragnok's demanding attitude. Although he doesn't worry too much, as the dwarf's motivation for the temple delve is all that concerns him - and motivated he appears to be.

“Greetings Lord Burne. As Verdis said, we have broken the power of two of the elemental cults, as it stands. There is still a lot to do, and we come to you both to let you know of our progress and to ask for your help - which, as our stubborn friend already stated a bit bluntly, we are willing to pay for, of course - as we could use more powerful enchantments on our weapons and armor, and maybe some more utilarian equipment, which you hopefully can provide or help us acquire.”

“There is also one more thing, which I would like you to help us with. From the heart of the fire temple, we brought back a magic gem, that radiates most powerful magic.” Dara goes on to describe the aura that she has seen with her simple spell. “Maybe you can find out more about this particular item? It's hard to adjudicate its powers, which are beyond my capabilities, or its worth. Ragnok should still be carrying it.”
 

Ragnok, waiting impatiently for Burne to respond, spins around at Dara's words.

"No more of that, you stupid wench. The gem is not for the likes of you! I told the wizard, and I'm telling you - don't cross me, unless you want to burn."

As he speaks, his hand moves towards the pouch at his belt.

Well, it seems it is not only beyond my capabilities... Ragnok, surely there must be some sense left inside you. If you light up Lord Burnes furniture, you do not expect him to help you with your weapon, or do you?”
 

Kurt frowns even more deeply at Ragnok's terse words. Now he is beginning to wonder what has got into the dwarf. But he sits silently for the moment, savouring the wine.

Trevor is beginning to wonder just what he has gotten himself into associating with these people! Perhaps, Trevor thinks to himself, Kurt would be willing to branch off with me into a new party? No, probably not, I suppose. Anyway, he's as crazy as the rest of them!
 

Burne is taken aback by the sudden developments in the chamber; mostly by Ragnok's sharp words. His head swivels back and forth between the members of your group as each of you speaks. Finally, he holds up his hands. "Peace friends. Be at ease. I am no enemy, nor do I believe you have reason to bicker amongst yourselves."

"I am glad to hear you have made great strides toward breaking the Temple's newfound power. I shall dispatch a messenger to Chendl to inform the King of your progress. And I am willing to provide what aid I can, though I will have to charge for materials and such." The wizard locks his gaze upon Ragnok. "I can enflame your axe, dwarf, but you must calm yourself, and stop your threats. We are all friends here."



[sblock=For Stonegod/Coraine]
While Coraine is certain that the dwarf IS NOT being magically dominated, he is uncertain as to exactly what is affecting Ragnok's attitude. It could be magic...then again, the dwarf has always been surely and short-tempered.

Trevor looks to each of the other party members besides Ragnok with a questioning gaze. It is obvious that he is worried about this new turn of events because Ragnok is clearly not himself. But as the last member to join the group, Trevor does not feel that it is his place to challenge Ragnok, but there is no question in his mind that someone needs to do so before the situation gets totally out of hand.
 

Kurt pauses in raising the glass to his lips. His eyes narrow slightly at the dwarf's harsh words. 'Lucky he is typically at the front' he thinks to himself as he ponders what might have triggered the shift in attitude. 'Was it simply the stress of the last battle? Did something of the demonic fire scar him in some way?'

He places his glass down and stands. "Lord Burne, we still have much work to do, and now the remaining cultists must be aware of our incursions. We will have a tough time of it in future, so any assistance you can provide will be well utilised."
