Shades of Netheril (Forgotten Realms) (268)

"Perhaps it would be best not to go showing that sceptre around too much." I point out mildly, "Since at least some people seem willing to kill for it. And in truth, I would like to know what it does, before any of us handles it any further. Do any of you know of a place where we can learn more of this item?"

Alexander ponders for a moment or two before finally speaking up.
"Perhaps we should continue onwards, and deliver information about the old man's death to whomever it was he was travelling to see. They may know more about what is going on, and the city is definitely a better place to find information. Both about the sceptre, and that disk."

He then heads over to the Orc bodies. "Sir Jasper, could you lend me a hand here? Don't want any noble lasses coming down the road to see it full 'o' dead bodies and faint away, do we?" He barks a laugh, then checks the orcs for treasure/clues, etc, before dragging them into the underbrush.

I then say, "You're probably right," and then set the sceptre down onto the wagon, and cover it up with some cloth and pick it up again...

"Shall we continue on our course, or should we just turn back?"

OoC: DM, i know you said that we traveled 10 days, but did the Old Man tell us how long it would take to get there? R we closer to destination or Origin?
 

Arcanra will help Jasper and Alexander 'dispose' of the bodies. "I believe that we should continue to where the Old Man was going. I am of the opinion that this sceptre is obviously dangerous in the wrong hands, and ours as well until we figure out what it does.'
 

"The old man said Tilverton was 12 days' journey when we set out, so we must be much closer to it by now than to Mistledale. I agree with Alexander - we should try to find out who the old man was travelling to see, and go speak to them. Perhaps there will be some clue in the wagon as to who they are."

I head toward the wagon to check for any kind of information that might help us.

[OOC: are the extra 2 characters with us? The DM's original post suggested they were, but they've both been quiet, upo to now?]
 

"Alright then!" I say with enthusiasm, " Off to Tilverton!!!"

I then jump into the wagon and count my arrows,

"Hey, can I have a flask of oil?" I ask Sul'Dan,"I can have a lotta fun wit onna dem!"
 

After helping dispose of the Orc bodies, Jasper returns to the group.
'Perhaps we should give the Old Man a proper burial? Amongst my Folk, there is but one proper Way, internment in the Earth. I am unsure of his Faith, but I would not leave him for the buzzards and vermin to pick at.'
'If it's a matter of Time, Dwarfs dig rather quickly,' Jasper goes to his Pony to retrieve his Shovel and pick (OOC:Which I forgot to list...ach. Mr. DM do you mind of I deduct the GP and have those oh-so-dwarvish-necessities?)
 

"I would agree," begins Arcanra. "Proper burial is a good idea, and humans practice the same that the dwarves do. Let us honor him before we continue."

Arcanra would like to cast detect magic on the Sceptre.
 

Alexander piles any stuff he found on the orcs near the wagon. "Are there any other shovels in the wagon? I'll help ye dig the grave."
