Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Campaign (ToEE) - Continued

[Dog Moon]

"Maybe the best way would be to trick him," Deren muses. "Find a girl, use her as bait, and follow him. What do you think, Shoon?" The Halfling looks around and realizes with a start that the other man is no longer at their table. "What the-?"

He quickly looks for the Bard, making sure THAT person hasn't also left him. "I think we need to be ready, Zirat," Deren says, "Cause I think Shoon might be putting his action into plan. Remind me next time not to drink so much," he adds.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

This is a smart and cunning idea my little friend
Zirat remarks and takes a swig
Paying a girl to lead him to the barn and them pay her more for silence. I think he left for the barn.

 

[Voadam]

Only once Sir Merrick seems mostly alert, does Aeron explain the rude awakening. "Shoon has found the one for whom he sought. It seems he has possibly had dealings involving slavery with the agents at the Temple. Learning more from this person could help all of us." The cleric turns to Shoon. "He was inside when you came out, yes? We should decide whether it would be to our advantage to confront him now or wait until the morning." The cleric deferentially looks to Sir Merrick for his input.

"How many men does he have with him?" Sir Merrick rises and takes up his glaive. He looks around. "Deren and Zirat are watching him?"

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Zirat and Deren watch him... I hope. As far as I know he is alone, though there are of course patrons listening to him. Zirat had the idea of luring him out to the barn where we could take him easily and without intervention. It seemed like a good idea, but I think the two of them may have had too many drinks to effectively carry it out." He sighs. "What do you think then? Should I return and try to convince him to come out here? Or perhaps one of you two should. Zirat's idea was that we ask him to play a song to calm my horse... I am not certain of how convincing that would be though."

 

[Rhun]

The bard continues to play music for the patrons as the night continues, both on his songhorn and his mandolin, sometimes even singing in a nice, mellow tenor. Of course, as has been your past experience here, the place gets rougher as it gets later. Deren finds many of the patrons staring at him; he gets the feeling that they'd beat him and rob him if they got the chance...and he is thankful for Zirat's mighty presence at the table with him.

 

[Rhun]

Bump bump bump

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Well I shall speak with the innkeeper about this. He has chased away bards for becoming too friendly with the maids before. Perhaps he will understand the predicament." Shoon heads back inside, and up to the bar where he tries to get the innkeeper's attention. "Good evening sir, may I speak with you discreetly?"

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Shoon.
The gladiator calls and whistles. Once the monk sees him and nods to him to come to the table where he and Deren are sitting

 

[Voadam]

Sir Merrick thinks on it a bit more and decides on a strategem, hoping the others can go along. "Prophet, I'll try and get this slaver alone and subdue him. If he comes out here be ready with your mace, otherwise I expect the others and I will handle it if he wants to meet alone in a room of his." He then heads into the tavern.

 

[Dichotomy]

Aeron nods to Sir Merrick. "I will be ready. And for now, I will let Ciaran sleep. We will likely need his spells at full strength tomorrow."
