ODO: Spoiler [sblock] The chancellor practically yells when the commotion starts. “What devilry is afoot now?” He quickly turns to face you, practically ignoring everything you’ve said. His eyes roll back into his head and he begins a very short chant. His hand glows light purple and he quickly touches you on the shoulder. The glow transfers to your shoulder for a moment then fades away. “I’ll find you later, my little friend.” He says and quickly rushes up the stairs to the balcony.[/sblock]
SEL’TARIEN: Spoiler [sblock]You look up and see Rak trying to make his way through the people and guards. You call up to him and he quickly looks back and shouts something but you can’t make it out over the noise in the room. The only thing you are sure he said is “Asta”.[/sblock]
SONRIK: Spoiler [sblock] When you first say “no” her face drops but she thought you were replying to her query of dancing. She is soon smiling again and her hand melts into yours as she flows into your dance steps like silk. The moment the commotion starts, she screams slightly and starts to panic. She grips your shoulder with both hands as you lead her through the crowd.[/sblock]
((OOC: These next sblocks are for those going up to the balcony and for those going out to the lawn. Some of you may choose where (or if) you wish to go and read that single sblock. Some of you already made that choice, so please read the relevant sblock. I’ll list what I think you have or haven’t chosen but if I’m wrong, please make a correction note on your next RP and read the appropriate sblock))
Sel’Tarien, Kale, Odo: You may choose one sblock to read appropriate to where you choose to go.
Up On The Balcony
He’Rak
[sblock]The guards part only slightly as they encircle the Lady Asta and discover that, while it was her scream, it is not her that was in trouble. She is sobbing in horror and pointing down to the lawn where the body of Grunden, the dwarven ambassador lay half in the right most fountain at the bottom of the stairs that lead down to the lawn. The water is red from blood.[/sblock]
Out The Double Doors To The Lawn
Sonrik, Liam
[sblock]Pushing your way though the crowd, you see frantic dwarven warriors rushing over to the right fountain at the bottom of the stairs that lead down to the lawn. Half in the water of the fountain lay the dwarven ambassador, Grunden, stabbed in the back. Blood pours into the fountain, filling it but immediately looks darker than dwarven blood should, which is just slightly more red than a humans. The Ambassador reaches out to grab at one of the dwarven guards and sputters something, but all you can make out is the word “hand” or at least that is what you think you hear, especially as one of the dwarves cries out “HAND” frantically trying to understand what the ambassador was trying to say.[/sblock]
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU ARE NOW IN CHAPTER TWO: THE ASSASSINS OF ENBERTON.
Actually, you’ve been in chapter two since officially arriving in Enberton… but who’s counting. Btw, I consider a “chapter” equivalent to an “adventure module” roughly for this adventure. So… thank you for making it this far and I hope things can get very exciting for us in this and the chapters to come.
