Sailing North

OCC: Terrible that work and making a living distracts us from playing :)............and if your married like Scotley....the wife keeps you busy with projects :)........

OCC::::Oh my a chance to be mean to Jaroth :)...........

For Jaroth
[sblock]8+7 = 15......Quikcly seraching his memory....Jaorth comes up with the factoid that poweder can be used as a mediume for the ingestion of powerful drugs and or poisions. Jaroth thinks that the blue powder has something to do with stunning and or mind altering a persons memories but can not place the exact reference....[/sblock]
 

Jaroth

[OOC: I have a trial starting on Tuesday. It should take 3-4 weeks. Hence, I'm at work :(]

Jaroth examines the powder, searching his brain for a reference. "I believe a poison or drug was administered to this man, and it seems to have been one that has a memory altering property. If we have the means to locate the source of this powder, we may yet find the person that is behind this."

He turns to the others, "I might add that Bertrand's man may have confirmed something for me. When I was studying at the bookseller's in Amster, I detected a powerful necromantic aura hidden behind one of the walls. I suspect that this aura emanated from the 'package' that the boy was there to pick up. Bertrand's man has sensed such an aura, as have I when I attempted to detect any dweomers on the boy. While it could be mere coincidence, I find it highly unlikely that we have two people aboard this ship skilled in the necromantic arts. We should begin to consider more direct methods of interrogation."
 

Vadric appears slightly annoyed at the suggestion that his and Anniston's faith may not have had a hand in driving off the fiend, but quickly decides that it isn't worth the argument. "A Deathbringer, eh? If we survive this night, perhaps tomorrow I can pray for more information concerning this demon." The preist then moves to examine the powder and the condition of the unconscious man. Perhaps his knowledge of the healing arts would provide somewhat more information than Jaroth's knowledge.

For Vadric
[sblock]Pausing and thinking ddeply, Vadric comes up with a reference to "zombie powder" which would have the same color as well as the same traints mentioned by Jaroth. The powder extremely rare and requires someone well versed in eithe the darker divene or arcane arts. The powder is reputed to place the recepitent under the control of the maker or thrower as well as casuing a great deal of memory loss if not the complete loss of memory and personality. The use of such powder while not openly condemend by the church is highly frowned on and the person making it will at the least have some very serious questions but to them often by an inquisitor.[/sblock]
 



Vadric looks around at his companions after examining the unconscious man. "This looks to be zombie powder. It is a foul substance that, per rumor, can put someone under the control of another. It requires one to be well-versed in the dark arts, and the Church of the Light frowns upon its use. I'm not sure who or what we are dealing with, but their is something evil going on."
 

Bertrand

"Yes, this ship seems to be full of evil. I'd not be at all surprised to dock somewhere in the depths of the abyss." He ruffles his dogs neck and considers the discussion. "I fear your logical deduction about necromancy and the young man will never stand up in a court of law if it comes to that. I suggest we get permission from the Captain before we commit ourselves further. The events of the evening will likely come under the scrutiny of the highest ecclesiastical courts, and I for one would prefer not to make any errors that could cause us problems later."
