Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

[stonegod]

At the scene and Elmo's words, the boy curses loudly, a curse that would be found on the darkest streets of any major city. If he seemed twitching before, that is put to shame as a frenzy of activity comes over the Kid.

Leaping around the stunned party, the Kid first goes to burnt form of the elf. Ignoring the protests of the Hommlet watch, he spits on the burnt corpse, and seems barely restrained from stabbing it with one of his many knives. Instead, he thoroughly searches the blackened corpse of someone he thought was an ally for any clues or possessions the guards missed [Search +8]. Regardless of what he finds, he then leaps the stairs two at a time and repeats the inspection in their rooms, trying to find any clue left behind, all the while cursing his neglect of tracking courses during training.

"Calm, lad," says the stout dwarf, eyeing the scene with a keen eye. He slowly shakes his head. "It seems we have enemies everywhere. No one is to be trusted, to be sure."

After a few moments of silence, Korbryn continues. "Let us do as Warden Elmo here has suggested...I be itchin' to investigate this moathouse place."

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Elmo turns in surprise but with understanding look at the kid.
Calm boy
He says
Apparently the vile adventurer took some of your friend's possessions when he fled, that is why Vesta saw him carrying a sack, some of Edirion's possessions are confiscated until the end of my investigation, as for the other one
He nods to Llewellyn
You can gather his stuff and bury the poor fellow.

I assume you take those actions later ...
In the room upstairs you see 2 small stains of blood and one bigger. this is the room where Edirion slept in, several items can be found in a wooden chest that lies near the bed
Mwk. Composite Longbow , 40 arrows, Backpack, Bandoleer, Bedroll, Everburning Torch, Flint & Steel, Grappling hook, Shovel, Silk rope (50ft.), Waterskin.
His gold pouch, sword, potions and daggers are missing.

Searching Llewellyn's stuff you find his Masterwork Rapier, Light Crossbow, Scroll of Detect Secret Doors, Hold Portal, Knock , Scroll of Invisibility, Summon Monster II, Summon Swarm, Silence, 2 Potions of Cure Light Wounds, 1 Potion of Remove Disease, 50 crossbow bolts.
2 potions are broken on the floor, their contents spilled
His other stuff are missing, even his spellbook.

[sblock=ooc]
if you want to split the equipment you can discuss about it in the ooc thread ... or role play it if you want over here.

Miltiades reads the letter through three times, committing the names to memory. Agents that will need to be tracked down. Getting the exact contours of this puzzle piece for his mind to absorb.

"Thank you Sherriff. I concur in your judgment on this matter. We do have plans for today that will take us out of the village, but I would like to follow up with you later about these other two and see if there is anything among Ediron's confiscated effects that might produce more leads or clues. I of course appreciate the need for discretion and keeping this matter as quiet as can be. As soon as I offer a prayer for our comrade, we will be off."

Miltiades offers a solemn benediction for the slain elf's soul. Having gathered up the gear the priest turns to the kid. "Let us be off on our present business, and get on the road. We will discuss more then."

 

[stonegod]

The Kid paces back and forth behind the guards that were set up to block him, a caged animal in a fit of rage. With the priest's words, he forces himself to clam. However, his right hand it idly caressing the edge of one of his wicked daggers the whole time.

"Fine. Lets get out of here. Better to hunt down this bastards then wait here for them to get us."

 

[DEFCON 1]

Ithiken looks down at the two bodies and the realization of how real of a situation he is in suddenly sinks in. This wasn't a little errand that Master Bigby sent him just to get him out of the tower for a spell... this is REAL. The thought unnerves the young elf quite a bit.

"Um... you don't think this was purely because they were elves, do you? I mean... I... I don't want to seem insensitive, but I don't want to die too."

He looks at the others and their much stronger reaction to the deaths (since they had travelled with both of them previously), and decides to remain further silent on the matter.

"The uh... the moathouse seems good. Yeah... let's go there."

 

[stonegod]

"Um... you don't think this was purely because they were elves, do you? I mean... I... I don't want to seem insensitive, but I don't want to die too."

The Kid shakes his head violently. "No. One elf was a traitor, the other just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm sure that collaborator would have killed any of us. The Old One isn't picky."

 

[Rhun]

"Dark times ahead," says Korbryn, with a shake of his head. Going to his room, he retrieves his neatly-stuffed pack and other gear, and returns to join his companions outside of the Wench.

"Blood and death are all too common. Better that we go forth and meet it head on, then wait for someone to stab us in the back. I be ready to go."

Off course Master Miltiades
Elmo nods
As for Telna, we can pay her a visit right now … unless you want to leave right away, I don't want to send any guard as I don't want to alarm her, she is a local cook, quite good I can say but it seems she fooled us all, as for the gold seeker adventurer, looks like the ground itself swallowed him as we can't find him at all.

[sblock=ooc]
I placed Hommlet's town map and the Edirion's letter in the RG, post #2 adventure aids.

"Dark times ahead. Blood and death are all too common. Better that we go forth and meet it head on, then wait for someone to stab us in the back. I be ready to go."

Ithiken nods in agreement, all the more ready to get out of the town where any number of people walking past them could spring out and attack when least expecting it.

"I agree. Let's go out to this moathouse. Anything further we'd gain from talking to the locals might be even more illuminating after we find out whatever secrets the moathouse might hold."
