Scales of War #1 Rescue at Rivenroar IC
- Thread starter Goonalan
- Start date
No sound in reply... but then again... nothing happens, and yet you feel as if there has been a pause in the action- like someone was waiting, waiting to see what else was going to get said...
Freggo tries to call a truce
Big Tony? Why would the object of our quest attack the heroes? Oh right... the sewer rats are villains, and this creature will know nothing of our discussion with Derek.
"If indeed you are Big Tony, we have been sent to give aid to you. We have a deal with the Derek of the Sewer Rats to help you return to them in exchange for their captive, and we will honor that deal. Witness, I am at your mercy." With that Freggo will drop his sword and kick it into the corner.
"If you are willing to accept our aid, you are welcome to stay in the shadows and follow us as we lead you to Derek and your other friends. Does that seem acceptable?"

At the bottom of the stairs the Little Ninja appears suddenly, kind of melts in to existence... and takes it's woollen ninja/wizard's hat off, revealling a young Gnome, he pauses a while for effect- smiles, he has good teeth.
The Gnome suddenly looks a little guilty, having just caught the eye of Velani...
"Sorry, love- ya got in the way... an' no-one gets in the way of 'Big Tony'"
He makes finger-crossbows towards Velani- fires both.
The Gnome shuffles forward, Big Tony is small, even for a Gnome- he saunters through the crowd of on-lookers (you lot) with the kind iof swagger usually reserved for kings and gods, directly to Velani, who towers over him.
Big Tony thrusts out his hand, for Velani to shake...
If, and when, Velani complies- he adds "Big Tony, know what I mean, love..." and winks at the ex-Fallcrest Guardswoman several times.
Big Tony suddenly notices Kali- "bloody hell! Do you need a license for that? Anyone got a stick, we can see how fast 'e goes."
He turns back to Velani- still bleeding.
"You know why they call me Big Tony love, eh? Eh?" The Gnome winks furiously at Velani...
Ladies and gentlemen of the adventuring party, Big Tony has been found.

Velani
"DAMMIT! Got the jump on me, little bastard. Lemme find you, just lemme find you...."
"What the... seriously? Frikkin gnome plugged me and now we gotta be all nice nice? Aw hells........"
Extending her bloody hand to him, Velani's cold look says everything. "Charmed, Love." Her eyes, almost embarrassingly, creep across the room to Ah-shahran. "Little help here, friend?"

Freggo has a sweatdrop
Freggo watches as the dangerous little creature reappears, confirming their suspicions that he is indeed the gnome they're looking for. The relief is replaced by an amiable but onerous awkwardness, as the gnome proceeds to wink way too many times at Velani. Freggo stares for a second, then shrugs, and collects his sword.
"What say we deliver our sizable friend here and get the captive out of danger? We can worry about magic puzzles later. Who knows what the Von Jallachs would want with this..." Freggo trails off as his eyes narrow on the 'Vo' symbol for vortex that he'd scribbled in the dirt. "Von Jallach... it couldn't be..."
Freggo will walk over to the Vortex tile and gingerly extend his sword onto the tile and push experimentally, muttering to himself, "Vo... then N for Neon... then would we need a space?... there's the Ja for Jasper..."

Velani
Big Tony scootches over to Velani, getting close to her- perhaps a little too close.
"I'm truly sorry love, up close I'm deadly accurate with my weapon- I never miss, particularly with a Miss as beautiful as you... Are you married? I hope you don't mind me asking..."
Big Tony leans on a wall, casual like, smiles and winks some more at Velani...
"Can one of you bozo's help the lady out- she's bleeding bad here... Look I've been told I have magical hands- healing hands some say, I think you might need to take your top off..."
Freggo
As an aside he briefly turns to Freggo, "the symbols open the door- that's where they stuck the beat up Dwarf, Adrian, or whatever he was called."
Big Tony turns back to Velani- "shall I help you take your top off..."
Freggo pushes his sword down on the "Vo" tile- the tile clicks in and the glowing symbol goes dark...
Get on with it.
Thanee

“Well, well, looks like we have found him, after all,” Kyalia says.
“We should head back to Derek. One thing after the other.”
“Oh, Freggo! I'm not sure that's a good idea. Without that tile with the circle you won't be able to complete it! There will be one 'l' missing. The circle tile must be part of it.”
“Hey, Big Tony! You do not happen to know what this sign stands for, do you?” she asks while pointing the tip of her bow towards the one sign they couldn't make any sense of.

"Helloooooo!" Big Tony's greeting ends in a whistle- he stares a while at Kyalia, then back to Velani, then to Kyalia.
"It just got hot in here..."
Big Tony swaggers over to Kyalia- "You ain't hurt are you love- healing hands." Big Tony shows and shakes his hands to demonstrate just how healing his hands are.
He looks down at the symbols.
"Oh yeah. 'J' Jade... that's about the only one I got... Jade- it's funny that, the same colour as your eyes, your beautiful eyes... has anyone ever told you that before, I bet they've not. Have I introduced myself by the way... the name's Tony- Big Tony..."
Big Tony winks eagerly at Kyalia.

At The Moment
4. Rescue Mirtala by finding Big Tony, the Gnome.
Big Tony is somewhere either North or East of the Entrance Chamber- find him and return to the Sewer Rats for Prisoner exchange.
Big Tony has been found.
5. Areas yet to investigate.
Chamber with strange symbols now the Drakes are cleared out- what lies down there?
Arcane/Alchemical symbols- identify them? What use are they? They connect to the door- it is assumed that they open the door, which seems to be sealed and without a lock.
Sarcophagi? Being checked by Velani.
Doors east- not tarnished- sealed, as previous, possibly linked to the tiles.
Small dagger found in the south-east corner of the chamber.
The tile symbols have all been solved.
The Dwarf 'Adrian' is through the door- now you just need to open the door, take a chance- go on.
6. Areas yet to investigate.
Chamber with strange symbols beyond the Drakes.
Chamber with the Sewer Rats in.
Entrance Chamber- North doors, no sign, partially dented and broken.
Doors west from Goblin rest room.
Doors west from corridor to the north of Goblin rest room.
