The Portal (Army)

[Endovior]

The guard frowns.

"Field? You mean you want to camp outside the walls? That's a bit of a hike. You need to get past our walls and then past the ruins first. It'd make more sense to spend some time clearing out unused buildings, and stay in them instead."

He leans over to Astor again and whispers.

"That's what I suspected would happen... bad luck for you..."

Turning back to Johnny, he continues.

"If you want to see the Commander of the Guard, you'll have to come and meet him in person."

 

[Ranger Rick]

OOC: Instead of sending the tents to a field, Johnny sends them to the unused buildings.

"Yes I would like to see your CO immediately."

 

[Jarval]

He leans over to Astor again and whispers.

"That's what I suspected would happen... bad luck for you..."

"Well, thanks anyway." Astor replies quietly to the guard. "Even if I don't end up staying in one, it's always good to know where to find a good inn and... so forth..." He grins broadly.

Turning back to Johnny, Astor salutes smartly.

"Sir! Request permission to remain within the inhabited part of the city. I should be able to get a gauge of the mood within the city given a day or two, and find out the majority of the local rumours, if you think such intelligence might prove useful."

 

[khavren]

"Guardsmen? My pardon, but do you know of a temple of Boccob present? I am called Khavren Lightlord. I should pay my respects to any of my faith who happen to be present. Also, is there a library or sages quarter in this fair city?" turning aside for a moment the bearded man in chain tries to catch Johnny's eye and gesture for a word in his ear

 

[Endovior]

At Johnny's order, people begin moving outwards (this WILL require a few PCs... you're marching across the whole of the city, and then into abandoned buildings containing monsters and stuff)

As for Johnny's other request...

"The Captain of the Guards works out of Prison Keep, on the other side of town. You might also want to speak with Lord Melkolf, who is probably in his palace on Capital Hill."

As for Khavren's question:

"Boccob? I think there's a temple to him up by the University. That's on the other side of town, all the way over Capital Hill. That being said, if you're looking for books, they're probably at or around the University."

ooc: incidentally, I have a cheap ASCII map of Lindor up in the OOC thread. A more expensive version is forthcoming.

Ansila wonders off after the crowd., He will move up through the crowd so that he is positioned near the front but behind any obvious fighter types in armor. Once in position Ansila will look around to see if he can see anyone he knows.

 

[Ranger Rick]

OOC: I am confused. We have thousands of people. They need to be in a common area/location. There is no field and the abandoned buildings are across town and not really abandoned because they are filled with monsters.

Where should I send them?

 

[khavren]

"A word in your ear Johnny, I don't think the mage who summoned us co-ordinated with the people in charge of this city at all. And given that he said some of the leaders intended to flee, we should probably not be quick to put ourselves under thier authority. Perhaps we can muster our own forces, clear out a bivouack site in these abandoned areas and establish our own terriorty to control and protect first, then work on gathering more recruits from the natives. It seems most of the other terrans here are more the dull but responsive types, willing to follow any leader (ooc: NPCs), why not get them together and we can try out our new skills in combat. The maps we got show where we can go to start off."

 

[Endovior]

ooc note: you don't command everybody. you command most of one of the groups that met together for one meeting. there ARE other largish groups out there, being commanded by others. what you SHOULD do (and what has been recommended to you on more then one occaision) is march the group into the ruins, and find an abandoned castle or something, and clear out and use it as a headquarters... that's more then enough room for your group. anyone else can handle themselves. that's as much DM hint as I'm going to give.

 

[Ranger Rick]

This:

(this WILL require a few PCs... you're marching across the whole of the city, and then into abandoned buildings containing monsters and stuff)

Does not sound like this:

Johnny has a few of the people who have taken charge get everybody lined up and to proceed to an abandoned castle or something. This will take time so in the mean time Johhny will go meet with the CO.
