Shackled City - Chapter I

[Majin]

OoC: Sorry about that Kirinke. The church offers anything they have in stock at a 20% discount, although their supplies are limited so if you guys need something out of the range of "light" types of clerical aids the church might not have it in stock, so you'll hafta check with me on that before a purchase can be made.

Both skulks wear cloaks, identical to each others, no armor, and both have rapiers. One of them also has a crossbow with 19 bolts.

"Yeah, maybe I could use the rest," the bard admits while looking up from his perusal of the dead skulks' possessions.
When the group has finalized their decision, Orpheus heads back up the stairs and makes for the church.

Raven

"Hey, where are you going? We've hardly gotten started. I'm not running off yet. Let's follow these guys. Can anyone track? Let's see where these guys came from."

 

[hippocrachus]

Orpheus squints ironically at the half-orc rogue as if he can't quite make out where she's calling from.
"Listen, kid, I'm all for helping the children, but my priorities are leaning more towards the side of caution right now. Let me rephrase that: I'm all for helping the children as long as it doesn't cost me my life. It's late, I haven't slept in over a day, and the wizard wants to...do whatever it is that wizards do. I'm going to go get some rest; this secret underground gnome complex will be here in the morning," he says with a quick wave of his hand.
After delivering his spiel, Orpheus continues back up the stairs.

 

[Manzanita]

Raven

"Very well." Raven takes the crossbow and both rapiers from the corpses. "I won't continue on my own." She'll return upstairs with the others. She'll try to find a way to block up the door until the group returns.

Upstairs she'll ask the locksmith if she can spend the night in his shop. "Someone needs to keep an eye on this door while we're away."

Keygan nods quickly at Raven's request. "Any who would like to stay are welcome," he says, with wide eyes. "I don't particularly care to spend the night alone right now until those things are taken care of. They will come for me once they find out I told you what I know."

 

[hippocrachus]

"That's why you were going to go to the church," Orpheus says with a bit of frustration. He stops the gnome's reply with a raised hand, and continues on through his shop to the church.
When he arrives, he asks about the sleeping arrangements. He'd rather sleep here for free if he can than sleep at the inn.

 

[Dhes]

Will Orpeus is getting his healing, Elyas concentrates on his spells and takes the time to mark the new passages on the map they got from the locksmith.

 

[kirinke]

Alinis heads off to the inn to settle her debt, gathers her stuff and makes arrangements at the church for bed and board, then falls into her cot and sleeps until morning.

OOC:
For bed and board, could Alinis spend half of her free down time in the hospital wards of the church (I assume that they have one) helping out? That would be an excellent way to learn more about healing. And I plan on using at least 1 or 2 skill points per level devoted to the healing skill.

The gnome lowers his head to the ground at Orpheus' comments.. "Yes.. the church.. of course," he frowns. "Well, either way, any who wish to stay here instead are welcome, but if you insist that the church would be safer than here with you, then I will follow your advice."
