Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

[DEFCON 1]

Hey you! Where is the Priest, your friend? What happened here?

Quickly pocketing the scroll case hopefully before eyes are upon him, Ithiken hears the voice and looks up as Elmo enters the room. "Sir?" Ithiken responds. "Um, as far as I can tell... the fellow who leaped to the ground outside was responsible for planning an attack on a few of the guards in the common room. This woman here..." he points to the barkeep "seemed to be in on it." The elf stands back up and walks over to the man. "Lenuran went downstairs with the big fighter guy I think. And Miltiades and The Kid leapt down to the outside to make sure the master assassin didn't get away. Come on... let's see if they are still out there." Ithiken then leads Elmo out of the common room across to the other side of the building, to show him the large opening to the garden below... where he expects the other two to still be on the ground amidst the flowers and bodies.

Lenuran can only shrug as the brute of a man decides to go back to bed instead of having a quick beer. The gnome grabs a seat at a nearby table, and sits and waits quietly as the situation at the Inn is investigated by the local constabulary.

 

[Voadam]

Seeing it is too late to save the assassin's life for questioning Miltiades will start considering how to proceed as he regathers his spear and inspects the obex holy symbol. When a guard or Elmo come to him, he will explain the attack, that he is a priest of Rao (if he is talking to someone other than Elmo), and that he will need access to the body the next day.

When he is back with his comrades Miltiades will ask about what else happened and was discovered. He will share about the assassin's mind magics and his holy symbol, as well as Miltiades' ability to cast a speak with dead spell that may grant him two questions to ask of the dead man's knowledge.

Miltiades is considering 1 "who else in the village is a cultist?" and 2 "who sent the assassins?" but is wondering if there might be a better second question.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

She is not the barkeep, I'm not familiar with her.
Elmo replies to Ithiken, motions four militia men to grab the bodies of the woman, the dead armored guy and the two corpses of the body guards and follows the wizard to the blasted room.
Now this is the barkeep.
He points to the woman that lies dead 10 ft. from the master.
Hey, Miltiades.
Elmo waves.
I trust your word, tell me what happened, in the meantime, two militia men comes from behind the right wall of the inn to the back yard.
Nasty …
Says one of them and eyes the bodies.
What are you looking at? Take the dead bustards and put'em on a wagon.

Prior to the arrival of the militia men and Elmo calling from the second stroy Miltiades managed to cast the spell.
"who else in the village is a cultist?"
The corpse mouth bleeds and spits as she speak.
Vecra and Jaroo are the only one left now you cursed priest.

OOC-Ask Q2 now …

 

[Voadam]

"Who sent you?"

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

The blood continues to flow from the open throat as the corpse move her mouth to reply.
The Cleric lords of the temple of All-Consumption, they are reffered as the doom dreamers, they obey the one who controls everything, the All mighty, master of masters, the dark lord.
Then all is silece, few moments pass and you spot Ithiken and Elmo up in the second story, peering from your blasted room.

Hey, Miltiades.
Elmo waves.
I trust your word, tell me what happened
in the meantime, two militia men comes from behind the right wall of the inn to the back yard.

shouts Elmo with anger.

 

[Voadam]

"One moment, these may be able to tell me more in time." Miltiades will take the ring and the brooch for later study, adding them to the obex. He will check the breastplate for any heraldry or cult symbols, then head back in with the Kid to talk with Elmo. "Are you wounded Thandis? Does anybody else require healing?"

 

[DEFCON 1]

When Ithiken gets a moment to himself, he looks throll the scrollcase in hopes for something interesting. If nothing else is required of the group, he hopes to find another room in the inn where he can grab some rest (since the common room is now a bloody mess.)

 

[Rhun]

Lenuran continues to sit quietly in the taproom, still shaking a bit. While not a stranger to combat, the gnome was not at all used to being attacked by assassins in the middle of the night.

 

[stonegod]

The Kid pockets the pouch and picks up the rapier for later selling. As the guard arrives, he leans against the wall, letting the priest lead the conversation.

When asked for healing, he nods. "I did get a couple scrapes."
