The Forgotten Forge

[DarkMaster]

(OOC Tai Diplomacy 10+7)

The lady answers back to Tai "Wait a second". She closes the door. About two or three minutes later, it opens again. A small halfling appears in the door "So you are explorer and you have been injured in battle?" The bald and small halfling initially doesn't seems convinced, but opens the door to carefully looks at each member of the group (sense motive Pohl 17+4, Tai 12+5, Zane 4).

Pohl notices the halfling hidden excitation growing as he inspects your wounds.

Staying calm he adds "You are lucky today, I am not too busy. Please get in I will try to see what I can do....... Oh and by the way, I hope you carry some gold, Houses Jorasco services are not free" He finishes subtely smiling.

Near the door a flight of stairs leads to a lower level of what seems a beautifully decorated appartement. The door leading to the rest of the house is closed, but you can imagine that a appartement with such a fine entrance must be beautiful. The wooden door is made of Karnathi oak. The dark and hard wood is all carved with various decorative motif.

On the floor of the entrance a nice tradional Breland ceramic can be observed. The light blue and Silver clearly stands out from the circle patterns. A beautiful Chandelier is hang on the dome shaped ceiling and is constantly lits by magical stones.

As he is going down the stairs the halfling shouts. "Follow me, my equipment is downstairs."

 

[DEFCON 1]

'We very much appreciate this, Master Tellarr. And to answer your question... yes, we have gold. As a member of a House as well... I certainly know that price is in equal proportion to the need. So we fully expected to reimburse you for your services... especially arriving unannounced like this.'

As he walks downstairs with the halfling, he leans over and whispers to him in the hopes of getting the halfling even more interested in their plight (which might perhaps result in a lessening of the financial burden when all is said and done if Pohl is lucky).

'Have you ever been into the lowest levels of Sharn, Master Tellarr? It is a nasty, dangerous place... full of crazed warriors and creatures who'd just as soon tear your throat out as look at you. We were ambushed by violent assassins down there and my back was torn apart by their razor-like claws. It is only through the glory of Dol Dorn that we were able to vanquish our deadly foes. Slowly but surely we will make our way through the monstrous catacombs to find our glory at the end.'

He then winks and nods at the healer.

'If our perils continue... you might be seeing more of us in the coming days. We never know what our plight will reveal, if you know what I mean.'

Zanick 'Zane' Marcela, human wizard

Zane follows the others in, still very worried about them but feeling a bit better now that they have made it to the healers. He remains quite, as this is Polh's element not his. He glances at Tai a lot to make sure she is ok, still very concerned for their healer...

 

[Delemental]

Tai notices Zane's worried glance, and smiles back at him, trying to reassure him that she'll be all right now. She continues to follow Master Tellarr down the stairs, content to let Pohl do the speaking right now.

Zanick 'Zane' Marcela, human wizard

When catch, Zane blushes and looks down at his feet for a second and then returns Tai's smile... he waits for the healing to begin, and will make sure that he is last to receive it

 

[DarkMaster]

The group follow the halfling down the oak stairs. About a floor below you all enter a large room. The door leading to this room is more sober, same quality of wood but no carving. You enter a what seems to be a messy library in the middle of the 40x30 room there is some kind of bed with various pieces of medical equipment around. A large section of the northern wall is filled with potions of all sort, a smaller section on the right seems to contains various scrolls. The rest of the 10' high walls are covered with shelves full of various books. Close to the door near the southern wall a small sofa and a coffee table sized for an halfling can be seen. The table is covered with papers, notes, books and a few lead pencils.

(Pohl Diplomacy roll 12+1+5Circumstancial ) The halfling turns towards Pohl. And starts looking at his injury "Assassins you say, in the lowest level of Sharn. He then heads towards Tai to look at her injury. "You also mention that you were looking for an old artifact. I wish I was younger, I woulnd't hesitate a second to help you He pauses and head towards the wizards. Looking at his injury he tells him. "You don't seems to be as "adventurous" than your other friend.....I wish I could have done like you, abandon my books and live the real life, but at the time I didn't see thing like now.

The halfling seems absent for a few seconds and heads towards Gretchen "That one seems in very bad shape" He looks carefuly at the injury that was made by the rapier "A quarter of an inch on the right and she wouldn't be with us, the persons who attacked her with the rapier knew where to strike or was really lucky, That was a very effective blow indeed"

He raises his heads and looks at Tai and Pohl "So do you want magical or conventional healing?

 

[DEFCON 1]

Pohl glances at the priestess for confirmation as he says to the halfling...

'Magical, please. Our duties to the ones who hired us require that we return to that cesspool and root out the evildoers that would stand in our way. I know it'll cost a bit more gold, but we just don't have the time for conventional healing... especially not for our shifter friend here. If we waited for her to heal naturally, we'd be here through the holidays, eh?'

He grins at Tellarr and then reaches for his purse to withdraw the pieces of gold.

 

[DarkMaster]

The halfling nods at Pohl's requests. He goes get a pot on the table, opens it and startst to apply a kind of blue cream on the wounds of the shifter. A few seconds later Gretchen comes back to consciousness. All her wounds have completly dissapears, we can't even see a scar where the Rapier came in. The halfling smiles at the shifter as she opens her eyes. "You are ready to continue your exploration of Sharn underdark. "

He turns towards Tai "You mention that you were in search of an artifact in the sewers of Sharn. I own an interesting collection myself and might be interested in buying it at a very good price. Think about it, and if you are interested bring it back to me and I will give you a price" He turns back towards his working table replaces the cream on the table. He then slightly turns his head towards the group and subtlely smiling he adds "So who's next?

 

[Guest 11456]

Grechen : Female Shifter Rogue 1

The young shifter slowly opens her eyes and is startled to see a halfling looking down at her. As she looks around the room she sees that she is no longer in the sewers and in fact is in a residence. "Huh!? Yeah." She rubs where the rapier had pierced her. Or at least that is what she had remembered. "I guess I am OK." She turns to her companions. "What happened? I thought I was hit here." She points to where the rapier hit. "But apparently not. Where are we?"

 

[DEFCON 1]

'You are at the abode of Master Healer Tellarr, young lady. Our fight against the three assassins did not go well, and we've been forced back to the higher ground to lick our wounds. Master Tellarr has only now brought you back to consciousness.'

Pohl turns to the halfling and shows him the deep cuts still on his back from where the shifter clawed him.

'I also would love some of your healing, if you might Master Tellarr. Judging on the skill with which Gretchen has recovered, it is obvious we have come to the right place.'

Pohl removes his leathers and lifts his tunic so that the halfling can reach his wounds.
