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

Sher picks at the fried food lightly nodding along with the various ideas before adding "I have an axebeak, and potions too. My camp is outside the city so I will fetch them tonight and be back with you all in the morning..."

finally he summons the waitreess as asks if he may have fish unbattered and uncooked as all the grease is giving him indigestion. He then turns back to the planning

"If this Shabu is a notable mage then he will be known to the local Mages guild or college. Should we perhaps approach them also. Although no doubt the Weaver has already investigated there..."

"Axebeak rides sound like fun or at least new. I won't be staying in the Inn tonight unless that is a big problem. Mom is probably cooking something amazing right now. And really, no need to fill the belly with sub-family cooking." Phelen listens and kinda thinks to himself for a while "Does any one have some of those 'shady'ier contacts that they could tap? Did the scroll or our leacherous benefactor say if they had looked inside Shabu's tower? I mean he could just be there or he could have gotten killed by one of his creations. Besides being greedy we don't know what his specialty is or if he had servants. We should try to pick up that kind of info tonight." Phelen starts to reach for fried goodies then pulls back his hand. "Oh, also, if you want I can ask about the enchantments for cloaks. I learned to lie pretty good trying to fool mom and dad."
 

"I agree that it would be unwise to spend all of our advance payment prematurely. So, the general consensus is: A couple scrolls for both Liliana and Delwar, and a Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds for each of us?"

Thane listens to Phelen and smiles when he hears about mom and dad, but says nothing.
 

"It's Delmar, you know. 3 time jr. healer of the year in these parts, master Thane. Pious Pelor, you humans are mighty informal.

Getting back to Master Phelen's issue, I can see what I can find out back at the hospice where I've been earning my lodging. I don't know what the healers there will be able to tell me about Shabu.

It'll be vespers for me soon, I need to renew my faith and service to receive Pelor's blessing every dusk. True faith begins when darkness beckons, you know.


Muttering to himself while renew his munching, "Delwar, honestly, I should (mumble, chew, mumble, chew) every time!"

(Gather Info=0. Wow.)

Stifling a burp Belok says, "I think a wand of cures is a good idea if we can get something inexpensive."

OOC: Isn't book price for a wand of Cure Light Wounds only 750gp? BTW, I'm confused is he Delmar or Delwar?
 

Thane grows very rosy in the cheeks. He glances at his tankard of ale, and pushes it slowly away from him.

"My apologies master Delmar. I shall endevor to be more careful from here on in."

OOC: Sorry! Multiple campains and a language translation. :( I'll try and be more careful.

Pausing to wipe his mouth and have a another sip of ale, "Delmar has the right of it about the scrolls." Turning to the WarMage, "My dear you've noted that you are quite good at blowing things up, but could it be worthwhile to add a few more utilitarian spells in the form of scrolls to your collection. I'm thinking that we might need a Knock and perhaps Detect and Dispell Magic for your or Delmar if we are to enter a wizard's lair uninvited?

There are only a few spells I can cast from scrolls, as my focus is more on combat that anything else. In combat I am a force to be reckoned with but out of combat I only a few talents at my disposal," chuckling a bit to myself.

(ooc: I can only casts spells that appear on my spell list)

"Ok so the game plan as of right now is the following am I correct? First we finish this grand and tasty meal we are having as it is the best I have had in days. While here we will gather as much information as we can. Then since it is early evening and depending on that information we will head to the "Prismatic Spray" and spend the rest of the evening there. Some of us will be scribing scrolls while the rest of us can gain some information at that establishment. Come morning and after another good meal, we will set out to purchase the necessary items for our travel to Shabu's place."

"Sher on your way back to your camp, depending on its location. Could you keep an eye out to see if there is any movement out of town during the night? Always a good idea to know what is going on at the outskirts of town at night."

"I would suggest for the shopping we break into teams and get the shopping done with. For those of you that are familiar in magic go get the healing supplies and scrolls that we will need. For the mounts that need to be bought I would suggest someone that has a good knowledge in riding go and get ones that are of a good healthy stock. I think we are all in agreement as to how much we want to spend as this will leave us plenty of money to gather any more information we might need. I would then suggest that we meet back at the "Prismatic Spray" around noon to get back in touch with everyone and to touch base on how the info gathering is going. At which point we can discuss on our next course of action, whether it be heading out to Shabu’s place then or possibly another location depending on the information we have at the time. If we feel we need to do some more information gathering we can spend the rest of the afternoon digging it out of people. Then possibly another rest at the "Prismatic Spray" and then head off to Shabu's in the morning."


While we are doing the information gathering these are the things I think we should be asking about_:
1) Anything about Shabu - as we are potential clients looking for someone to make something magical for us.
2) The prismatic Spray - As this might be a local hangout for the mage, we might be able to find out a lot of about him.
3) Any other rumors that have been floating around town.
4) Possible creatures in the nearby area that lie on our way to Shabu’s tower.
5) Any information about our current employer would also be a good idea as well. You can never have enough information about your current employer.

"Anything else?"

"I think you have summed up our current tasks and objectives nicely. I fear I have relatively little knowledge of Magic or Mounts, so I shall spend my time trying to gather information. I'll start with the tavern keeper here and then the bazaar. I would like to take a hundred or so of the cash for such purposes and shall make an accounting of how I use it. Would anyone else care to join me?"

I wonder who else I know that might be helpful?

OOC: Sorry, I forgot how short the Warmage's list is. Also, Peter, as a Rogue, does Belok know anyone in the local underworld he could have a chat with? Finally, is there anyone else here that looks like they might be worth questioning?
 

"Do we know the direction to Shabu's tower, was that instruction upon the scroll?
If so I will prhaps be able to scout our route tonight as I return from my camp.

If not then perhaps we should ask for directions at this Prismatic Spray since he seems to be known there. It is consistent with our stated desire of acessing his skills as an enchanter. Other than this I have nothing further to add, your plan is sound
"

"Yes, Shabu's tower is located to the west of town about a days travel away. If you want to scout out a little bit of the direction I think everyone would be ok with that. I would suggest that if Delmar had the spell "Status" memorized (ooc, forget what level this spell is but bascially you know the direction of the person this is cast on and if they are getting hurt and I think it lasts a pretty long time. This way while you are scouting around if you get jumped we will know about it and hopefully come to your rescue in time) he would cast it on you so we can keep a tab on your whereabouts and make sure you stay safe. I am sure nothing evil would become of you but it is always better to play it safe."
