[Tavern] Tower's Shard 2010

[dimsdale]

A group of men come into the tavern, one of them with flowing robes and the others fighter types. Where is the head? says the one with the flowing robes. At first the patrons are confused and stare blank expressions. You know...the orc head. Someone points to the head still on the ground next to a table. Ah yes. The robed one turns to one of the fighter types. Bring the body to me now please. The fighter walks forward with the headless orc body. He plops the lifeless body on the ground next to the head. The robed one carefully positions the head next to the body and then clears some space. Patrons look on eagerly, not knowing what to expect. The robed one begins to chant...slowly at first and then raising his voice. At the same time a white silvery light begins to glow around the orc head and its body. Soon the light becomes so bright that no one can see. Then, all of the sudden, the chanting comes to an abrupt end, and so to the light as it fades just as quickly. Yes, that should do the trick the robed one says to the fighter types. It is not time for him to go yet. He has things to do first. At least that's what my superiors tell me anyway. Turning back to the still lifeless orc GET UP RUMBUM! he says in a commanding voice. With a jolt, Rumbum's body comes back to life, eyes blinking rapidly, followed by a wide toothy grin. Ah HAH RUMBUM is back! I promise never to stab dagger in guard's butt again. Ahhh Hah hah! It's time for Rumbum to prove his worth now. He looks around the room to see if anyone is interested.

[sblock=ooc] Thanks for coming Drothgery! I would understand if WD is hesitant, 3 controllers and 2 of which are wizards. Your call WD [/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]
Is a defender needed? I missed Rumbum so I sent K2 away

"Pleased to meet your acquaintance, Narvala. My name is Nyar Harbor, a simple mage from Aundair, whom fate has coerced into this diabolic scheme."

"That will be unusual. I've fought against wizards rather more than with them. Not that I have anything against wizards per se, but Karrnath had rather more of them available to its armies than Thrane did. Hence the Church raising of a special corps of invokers late in the war, which attracted more than one idealistic young noble. I must admit I was even more idealistic and young than most of my comrades then." She said.

"I warn you that we are opposed by enemies well versed in subterfuge. We welcome anyone who stands up against these vile fiends. ...I personally suspect a cult of Khyber..."

"I've noticed people who traffic in subterfuge often think they can easily fool more honest folk. But insight into how people think is not a skill limited to those who deal in such things." She said.

[sblock=ooc]It hurts to miss an opportunity for gaming, but the group really seems already controller heavy and I had some nice roleplaying with Mal, Tock and the minotaur.
But thanks![/sblock]

"Right then. Alexia, Muzdum, you're coming with us to see the professor, right? I think we can agree on going on the morning. Do whatever preparations you need, I'll come and get you." says the giant as he gets up.

Before the door he turns and booms over everyone
"Good drinking, better fighting and good stories to regale us with when we each other again."

He then goes out his footsteps audible for few more moments.

If it were possible, one might assume the wisping darkness on the back of Mal’s neck stands on end as the Minotaur plays. While he looks to the bar in obvious want for another drink, he decides against it. As his hears return to a functional level of hearing, he glances about and gathers what is going on.

“I apologize fellows, but Tock, myself and Talos are a package deal. It would appear you’ve not funding for the trio, if your goal is to recruit only two. I wish you the best of luck on your endeavours and perhaps we shall run a mission together sometime soon.”

With a smile he adds, “I daresay Deimos has become rather attached as well in the last half hour or so. And we’re all the happier to have him along.” He claps diemos on the shoulder in a welcoming way.

“Wait a moment, didn’t we have a templar sitting here a moment ago?”

Deimos Vrago, Tiefling Wizard (Mage)

Excuse me everyone, but I must leave. May the light protect you in battle against those who follow the dark path. The paladin gets up and walks out the door.

"Thanks for the kind words Mal. And you are right, jumping in a group of unknown faces when being a newbie in the adventurer trade sounds unwise. I will stay with you.

K2? Looks like he had to left in a hurry. Maybe he will be back, soon." Deimos confirms the genasi's words. It felt good to be part of a group.

Deimos Vrago

My second character. Needs approvals.

Nyar watches the ritual with interest, almost as if taking mental notes for later...

When Rumbum stirs, "Hail my good orc. I don't know if you're up for it, but we are in need of brave souls to help fight an evil growing here in Sharn. What say you?"

[sblock=ooc] I don't know what we'll do with two defenders, Baern the ranger did all our tanking for like 12 rounds of combat. [/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]
So just an update to what my two adventures need:

Trouble in Moonwatch: 1 defender and one other melee PC - I've sent invitations out to dimsdale and ShardRs, awaiting response

Cannith Caper: We have 2 leaders and 1 defender. Need at least 1 striker, preferably two and maybe a controller? [/sblock]

I think the operative word you are looking for is "DIE!".

Bwa ha ha ha ha

Scorpius was way too easy on you guys. 12+ rounds of encounter and he even gave you mini-short rests to boot. What a softy!

[FourMonos]

[sblock=ooc] Maybe I spoke too quickly, maybe Rumbum is heading to Trouble in Moonwatch? [/sblock]

"Veruza, why don't you finish your ritual to heal Baern. Lady Narvala, would you like to accompany me back to lower Menthis? I'll fill you in on circumstances on the way."

Nyar walks out of the tavern and almost bumps into a dwarf walking in.

A young appearing dwarf with a well trimmed and braided beard sans mustache walks into the tarvin and stops inside the door, "Braddock the Historian, investigator of all things eldritch and arcane."

Braddock heads right over to the table with the rogue, genasi, tiefling and minotaur. He sets his craghammer on the table, which glows in a soft golden light.

"So! What'd I miss!"
