'The Perilous (Chapter I, II, III, IV)

[UniversalMonster]

The Next Day::

THE NEXT DAY:

You note that the beds are masterwork quality, healing double the normal hp from rest. None of you have been injured of course, but its good to know.

You have already paid for your rooms, so there is only the matter of a quick checkout at the front desk. The worker at the desk is a matronly female human woman who seems uncomfortably large for the small fez on her head.

"Thank you for your stay.. If you have baggage, I can read you off an Unseen Servant or a Floating disc for a small fee...?" She inidicates a long scroll on her podium containing multiple copies of 'service-oriented' spells.

You don't really have enough baggage, and the fee of 50 gp seems a bit exorbitant.

A bleary-eyed dwarven wizard coming in from the long hallway you need to leave by has already conjured his own floating sphere, and is moving in a pair of heavy dwarven trunks. You walk past him and reach the end of the hallway where the same goblin is on duty.

"Back to Windfall? Right this way.. one at a time please. Or in pairs if you must. There's some sharp rubble on the other side so do be careful."

The end of the hallway dead end is a circular mosaic of a rough twisted looking face. When the goblin speaks the phrase "on your way..." a greyish blue light shimmers and warps your group back to the ruins of the temple of Baelith.


So you arrive back in Windfall, with your mounts all packed up and ready as well.

You can head directly towards Shabu's tower or do some shopping or whatever else your group decides.

'Wait" Sher runs after the wooden man as it continues up the hill "creature stop! - where is your master, where is Shabu?"

He persues the wooden man not knowing whether it understands his words but nonetheless with the inkling that this is not where such a thing ought to be...

 

[Lobo Lurker]

Thane stands and streches out his 7' frame. His joints audibly pop as he goes through a stretching routine.

Finishing, he thinks for a moment and begins strapping on his leather armor. You can see a set of heavier armor packed-up and strapped to his horse.

After checking all his weapons he remarks, "Well friends, what do you think? Shall we go and see if we can't find Sher Farid and then head off to Shabu's tower? Time is wasting after all."

"Before we leave, however, do we have enough water? Or... are you blessed with the proper spells for creating water Delmar?"

 

[Gideon]

Phelen

"Yeah, lets go!" Phelen already packed up is very restless often shifting in his chair and signing softly to himself.

 

[Scotley]

Belok Rogue/Psychic Warrior

Belok seems to be in a jovial mood after a couple of days of good food and a fine Inn. His armor is clean and polished and his hair freshly oiled and braided. Matilda, his Lizard is loaded with gear and he taps a couple of casks slung on the beast and says to Thane, "I have a pretty good supply of water, but we can always put some more on the wagon."

 

[Elocin]

Liliana Fighter/Warmage

As much as I enoyed the rest it will be good to be on the road again for some adventure. It might have been too quiet and relaxing the last couple of days and I am ready for some excitement. "Let all head on over to the stables and grab our mounts and see if we cna buy a wagon from there and grab some feed for our mounts as well. Then lets go pick up some barrels of water and food to place into the wagon and lets be off. I suggest letting me drive the wagon as then the fighters of the group are free to move in any direction if danger appears. If I need to I can just run to the back of the wagon and jump onto my mount and go from there. Were we going to use one of our mounts to pull the wagon or do we want to buy an additional mount? Also, if someone wants to ride with me they are more than welcome to as well."

"As soon as we are able to purchase the needed wagon, food, water and possible mount I say we head out of town in the direction of Sher's campsite and then head on to Shabu's tower at best possible speed. We can change directions or what not depending on the information Sher provides as well."

"Is there anything that I am forgetting about or does anyone else need to pick up some last minute details as well?"

 

[Scotley]

Belok Half-Giant Rogue/Psychic Warrior

"All things being equal I'd prefer to ride Matilda rather than have her pulling the wagon, but the truth is I'm not much of a mounted warrior and would be jumping down to fight anyway, so if we want to have her pull the wagon that's fine too." He looks at Lilliana with a humorous grin, "we just have to get a wagon with a really big seat or you'll have to sit in my lap."

"All things being equal I'd prefer to ride Matilda rather than have her pulling the wagon, but the truth is I'm not much of a mounted warrior and would be jumping down to fight anyway, so if we want to have her pull the wagon that's fine too." He looks at Lilliana with a humorous grin, "we just have to get a wagon with a really big seat or you'll have to sit in my lap."

With a look of hardened steel, "So what are you saying Belok? Are you saying sitting with me on the wagon we won't have enough room for the two of us? Are you suggesting that I have a fat ass or am I just big boned? Because if you are I just might have to teach you a very hard lesson." You can feel the air tense with magic as I glare into your eyes without blinking and then wink, letting the laughter flow through my body, as I then throw my arm over your shoulders and force you to start walking towards the stable, chucking all the way. Hoping you are not too shocked or startled that you will keep your feet and not knock both of us over.

Delmar, Dwarf Cleric

"Archimedes can pull the wagon. If I have to, I can ride with the cargo."

 

[Scotley]

Belok Half-Giant Rogue/Psychic Warrior

Stunned, Belok turns and allows himself to be walked toward the stables perhaps stumbling just a bit. Mentally slapping his forehead he thinks to himself, You just had to go and tease a Wizardess didn't you. Too many half naked women last night addled your brain didn't they? He gives himself another mental slap and continues on. He opens and closes his mouth a couple of times, but no words come out as he stuggles with the notion that saying something nice about the Wizardess' ass can now can only make things worse and finally stammers out, "well it looks like a nice day for a ride in the country doesn't it."
