The Psionicle, Part II

[Hand of Vecna]

Nathan calls out to the portly felow as he waddles off

"Make that three birds!"

Nathan then finds a large tables for he and his 5 companions (one preferably out-of-the-way) and sits in one of the chairs. He removes a chunk of amber from a hidden pocket and places it on the table.

"So, fellows, anyone worked out a battle-plan yet?"

As he and the others talk, he occassionally fiddles with the chunk of amber.

[[ yes, it is his Psicrystal... ]]

 

[Dalamar]

"I don't think we should make too strict plans 'cause we don't know what the weapon we'll get does. But if nobody has something against it, I could be the scout, seeing that my people are natural hiders and I can see in the dark."

Syld then yells at the innkeeper.
"Bring me the best you've got, and don't mind the cost!"

 

[Jarval]

"Sounds like a good idea. But as you say, we can't make any firm plans until we know more of the weapon.

"Speaking of which, it might make sense for me to carry any technological items we're given. Them interfering with my psionic abilities would probably matter less than for the rest of you."

 

[Zhure]

Osius winces.

"No bird, please, I'll stick with the chili. And I'll pay for my breakfast now, too. Early and hot, thank you 'keeper."

Turning to the group after the inkeeper leaves.

"Plans? I think we should keep it simple: get in, get out, avoid enemy contact. If we have to kill, kill 'em fast and as quiet as possible."

 

[GnomeWorks]

Shardorn calls out after the innkeeper, "I will also take the chili."

---

The innkeep returns with two bowls of chili, and places one before Shardorn and the other before Osius.

"The birds should be out in a jiffy. Hmm... 1 gold and 5 silver for each bird... 5 silver for the chili... that'll be... 7 gold for the evening meal."

Stated by Zhure
"...I'll pay for my breakfast now, too. Early and hot, thank you 'keeper."

He nods his head. "That'll be a gold, then."

Once you pay him, he hurries off to the back of the inn.

 

[Zhure]

Osius digs into the chili whole-heartedly.

"If I snore later, it means I'm sleeping peacefully.

I sure wish we could get a map of 'the target'. Or at least an inkling of where it'll be. And some kind of evacuation plan would be grand."

 

[GnomeWorks]

Shardorn begins to eat her chili with a little less enthusiasm than Osius.

"I believe," she says between mouthfuls, "that the entrance to the 'Kreen tunnels is out beyond the gates a little ways. That's what the Council said, anyway, if I remember correctly."

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"I agree with Osius on that one, but first we all need to get a good nights rest. By the way, when will that dwarf be back? I'm looking to get some more daggers myself, my last weapons were ruined in the battle with those Thri-Kreen."

Sahgrim sighs.

 

[Zhure]

"Get yourself a sling, it's the adventurer's friend. Also, suitable for us cheapies."

 

[Jarval]

Jansson rummages through his pack, looking to see what he will need in the morning.

"It's worrying that the 'Kreen tunnels have got close to the town. Still, we may solve some problems in the morrow."
