D&D 5E Storm King's Thunder

Serissa's eyes grew wide with fear when he mentions a blue dragon. "Perhaps there is more to my sisters' schemes than I thought. This is indeed Maelstrom, but the basement of it. If you'd like to look around, I urge you to be sneaky about it. "

The Princess suddenly remembers something and fishes it out of her pocket.

"My Mother. She was a peaceful woman and had much love for the smaller folk. She would often visit the surface and bring food to villagers. Then Father found her murdered on the beach and went off to track those guilty of the crime. We haven't seen him since. This coin was the only clue he found on her. Do you know anything about it," she asks as she hands it over.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Aremus looked at the coin. He suddenly wished that he had brought some of the others along. He felt convinced that he would not bring his friends to harm if he revealed them, so he said, "There is something familiar about it... perhaps my friends would know. I admit that I am not alone here - I have allies that are resting nearby. May I take it to them and see if they can identify it? Many of them are much better at this sort of thing than I."

Before leaving he added, "Please tell me if there is any other way in which we can be of service to you."

 

[seriousmoonlight]

Serissa nods enthusiastically, glad that Aremus brought allies that may be of aid to her. "Yes, I beg you to hurry and ask them. There is no greater service you can render than finding my father. I fear he is the only one who can restore order to giant kind. If something has happened to him then both our worlds are doomed," the young ruler admits, choking back tears.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Aremus assured Princess Serissa that he would return, and he went back to the room where the others were resting. He entered quietly and informed Tranio of what he'd found. As soon as the others began to stir, he woke them and showed them the coin.

"It looks familiar. Is it a token, or is it currency, do you think?" he asked, knowing that some of the others had more experience of the world than he.

OOC: I don't want to interrupt anyone's long rest, but as soon as they are done he'll ask them. Also, I don't want to hog the spotlight any longer than I've already done! Sorry about that, gang!

History; Investigation: 1D20+2 = [5]+2 = 7; 1D20+2 = [1]+2 = 3

Ordrar lived too long too deep in the ground to recognize the token. His years buried in the Nightstone didn't help, simple brewer doesn't meet as many people as an honest innkeeper.

 

[Kobold Stew]

The coin means nothing to Tranio, who (when Aremus returns) is not watching the door as promised, but is deep in prayer.

Prayer to his death god is uncomfortable to watch. There's a knife, and it has been scraped across Tranio's chest so that it's red. It looks uncomfortable, not yet a scab. His eyes are closed, and as he mumbles he hits himself, the percussive force of fist on bare skin being the loudest noise in the room.

The prayers continue, and when Tranio is done, his shirt is on again, and the borrowed armour still stained with goblinoid blood on his shoulders. His smile is back.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Aremus did not like to watch Tranio in prayer. He had seen it a few times by now and it always made him uncomfortable. He suspected that Tranio enjoyed making others uncomfortable and so, he averted his eyes and spoke to Ordrar. He was not sure why, but the dwarf's stern criticism pleased him, even when they argued.

Fistan

When fistan awakes he begins his morning routine, cleaning himself as best he can before settling down with his spellbook. Before he gets very far his curiosity is piqued and he looks at the coin.

OOC: History check: 1D20+7 = [19]+7 = 26http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=228664 or only +4 (so 22) if its investigation

Dren yawned and stretched himself out on his stone bed. Ah, nothing like good, hard granite to sleep on! He pulled out some rations and took a look at that coin Aremus was showing around.

When showing the coin/chip to Dren, Aremus suddenly had a memory surface, "Aha!" he exclaimed, "I knew that they looked familiar! Are these not just the same as the chips that you were given by Lord Drylund at the casino aboard the riverboat?"

OOC: *I* thought I recognised it myself, so I went back to look at that riverboat casino we went to. It's in Post#1012. Dren was given some. IIRC Bethany was gambling too, but I don't think she's here now.
