The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter II

[Brother Shatterstone]

Mosslime: Finhead Saurial/Male

Mosslime nods his head in agreement at Ayden’s suggestion. Once down stairs Mosslime moves about slowly trying to avoid making any more noise why he scouts out any scents that he cannot find the source of.

OOC: If he can’t find the source of them then they must be hidden someway somehow right?

The strong scent of potatoes breaches Mosslime's senses as he searches about the cellar. Those with him eventually uncover a tin box hidden in the bottom of a bin. The box is marked "Property of O.M.T.C."

Drogo's search of the upstairs rooms ends quickly as before he can finish his trek up the stairs he hears some soft scuffing noises coming from the middle door of the guest's corridor, as if someone is trying to quietly move around inside, failing somewhat in doing so.

OOC: I will go over everyones changes shortly and post if anyone's missed anything.

 

[Verbatim]

Reaching into the dusty bin and praying that no spider would find his hand a tempting target, Ayden smiled broadly as his fingers brushed something metallic down there.

Pulling out the box, Ayden blew the dust covering away discovering the writing on top of it.

"Well Moss, perhaps the Mayor was not as clever as he thought. Hiding something this carelessly only proves that he was truly confident that he would never be caught."

Opening the box, Ayden hoped the proof they needed would be contained within.

 

[Majin]

Opening the tin box reveals nothing but a simple looking closed bag.

 

[Verbatim]

Looking over to Mosslime with an amused smile, Ayden posed a rhetorical question.

"Why would anyone want to place a bag in a box?"

Opening the mouth of the bag, Ayden reached inside and mentally wished the feel of paper beneath his fingers.

OOC: I have to go up to Maryland for the weekend, so this will be my last post until Sun afternoon. After finding out what/anything is in the bag, Ayden will seek out the others to either show them his discovery, or just to continue helping them look. If anything of interest is in the bag, but not the papers we are looking for, Ayden will still mention it to the others, but continue looking for proof of the Mayor's treachery.

Have a great weekend all, and be safe...

OOC: Maybe I'll see ya up here in MD Verbatim

Proving that the mayor was more careful with his business Ayden does not find anything incriminating in the bag, but this does not disappoint at all. Upon reaching into the bag it feels to Ayden like he's plunging his hand into an infinte void. Feeling around at the contents, he also notices the bag should weigh much more than it does. Emptying the contents of the bag reveals 200 platinum pieces, 500 gold pieces, a wand, a small emerald, and a vial of liquid.

drogo

OOC: Did noone come upstairs w/Drogo? Even Rex is outside.

Not wishing a conflict alone, Drogo backs away slightly, his eyes not leaving the guest door. Shifting his short spear into his left hand where he keeps his shield, he feels his right hand into his pouch, and, pulling out his signal whistle, gives a short burst.

 

[Jarval]

Andreas' eyes widen at the sight of the enormous wealth Ayden empties out of the bag, and widen yet further as he realizes the quantity of gold could never have fitted into the bag.

"Now that is quite a haul!" He says, taking the now empty bag from Ayden's hands. He sticks his hand, then his arm into the bag, grinning widely as he confirms his suspicions.

"Marvelous! An extra-dimensional space. How tremendously exciting..." He picks up a single coin from the pile of gold, and drops it into the sack. "Well well well... what a find."

Despite his obvious fascination with the bag, Andreas looks up at the sound of Drogo's whistle.

"Ah, it sounds as if Drogo may have found something interesting. Should we go and see what it is?" He asks cheerily, handing the bag back to Ayden. He starts up the stairs out of the cellar, then looks back down at his companions.

"For the Gods' sakes, don't put anything sharp in the magical bag. Very bad things can happen if you cut them..."

Calenthang helps put the small fortune back into the bag and stands to follow Andreas and assist Drogo. When he comes to his halfling companion, he smiles and gives a slight nod.
"How has your search went, friend Drogo?"

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity follows along with the others to meet Drogo. She will not take anything from the pile of loot until everyone else has had a chance to look through it and take what they want. [Sorry for not posting. I feel awkward coming in the middle of the scene. I'll post regularly when this is over.]
