Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

[Rhun]

Korbryn stands quiet and still as he observes the newcomer, looking much like a statue. He doesn't appear to even note the heat, even standing in the sun in his full plate armor. He simply stands and stares, unmoving.

 

[Voadam]

Miltiades inquisitor of Rao

"For now we are journeying in search of a missing father, on behalf of the young maid inside as I conduct some of the Church's historical lore work for the are. I think I will ask you to join us as we head out today, and you can tell us more about your dealings with the archmage . . . once we are on our way out of the village for the afternoon. Until then may peace be upon us and let us save our tales to fill the miles on the road for today's journey."

 

[stonegod]

The Kid chuckles to himself as the scholar converses with the excitable elf, all the while tumbling a dagger up and down his sleeve. At the mention of their next venture, the Kid interrupts. "Uh, shouldn't we be gathering the others there, boss?"

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

The young girl grins happily as you agree to look for her father, even Haunor, the dwarf guard tap on your shoulder in a thankful manner, standing outside in the morning, the air is cool and a breeze blows from the far southern hills, although cooling down the exhausted elf and relaxing, the wind carries a foul smell of the bogs.

***********************************************

… meanwhile in the welcome wench …
Edirion are you here?
Llewellyn calls
We need to catch up with the oth … what!
*Bump* *Slash* … ohhh
you !!
*Crash*
…

 

[Rhun]

The dwarf sniffs the air. "A foul smell be on the wind this day. I have a feeling that we will find battle not far off..."

 

[Voadam]

The Kid chuckles to himself as the scholar converses with the excitable elf, all the while tumbling a dagger up and down his sleeve. At the mention of their next venture, the Kid interrupts. "Uh, shouldn't we be gathering the others there, boss?"

"Of course. Naru, will you join us as we head back to the local inn to gather our other comrades before setting off?"

 

[DEFCON 1]

The elf nods sagely in an attempt to look more wizardly than he truly is.

"Absolutely! Let us go! To the INN my friends! To the inn!"

 

[Rhun]

Korbryn walks along with his companions back to the Wench in silence, but the jingle of his armor and heavy footfalls leave no doubt about his presence.

 

[stonegod]

The Kid keeps pace with the others, though it is obvious he is holding back. Impatience twitches with his every step.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Screams, shouts and high voices can be heard from down the road, it seems something took place in the inn of the welcome wench while you where in the temple of Pelor and Spugnoir potion's store, people gather around the inn and little children trying to sneak inside only to be blocked by two glum faced town guards, Elmo can be spotted inside talking with Vesta and two more guards.
When he sees you he steps out and meet you near the main doors, turning to Miltiades, the one he spoke and trusts it seems, he says with a grim voice.
There where two elves with you Miltiades when you arrived, they are both dead.
He scratches his forehead, and continues
The maiden here say she heard shouts and a crushing noise, then the so called adventurer (he refers to Mr. Gastesh, the Baklunish/Oeridian Human, Gold seeker adventurer that you spoke to in the first day) fled bleeding out of the inn with a sack, we are currently look for him.
As for your friends, the well built white haired Elf rushed down after him but collapsed over there, it seems Edirion was a secret agent of the scoundrel old one.
He points to an up sided table Edirion fell upon, the battledancer lies dead, his body scorched and burned.
Up in the room the other elf (Referring to Llewellyn) lies
Two guards coming down the stairs, carrying the dead wizard, the body is covered with a blood stained blanket, leaving a narrow trail of dripping blood from the stairs. Elmo takes out a slightly burned note from his pocket and show it to you
This will explain what happened, it seems your friend the wizard
He nods to Llewellyn
was in the wrong place in the wrong time.

****************

The letter says:
Edirion
You will take the cover of a loyal worshipper of the cursed Corellon
Your first task is to infiltrate to the secret meeting in Verbobonc, acting as a Representative from the elven community of Highfolk. when you reach to Hommlet Contact Chatrilon Unosh, he is a local vile informer of some kind, selling his services to the highest bidder, he calls himself Mr. Gastesh, be cautious with him, he is treacherous and possibly works with others as well, but his knowledge is something to rely on when you pay the right price.
Any problem should be solved with our local and trust worthy agent Telna.
If problem arose with the pitiable servants of the council (referring your party) kill them with the help of Chatrilon, then get rid of the slimy traitor.

****************

Looks like
Elmo adds
The "get rid of the slimy traitor" part, didn't go well for Eldirion.
I encourage you to keep a low profile, I will not tolerate such acts in this peaceful town, maybe you should … umm, disappear for a day, just to calm the winds.
