The Reconquista: Part I (Shadows over Istivin)

[Branding Opportunity]

OOC: Buh. Missed that.

So they're renovating the whole front of the temple to prevent more falling-statue accidents?

OOC: Yup, adding supports to the statues and making sure the structure as a whole is sound.

Morley looks over the shrine, but adds nothing to the conversation, he seems lost in thought.

 

[Ranger Rick]

"Now, if that's the sort of squabbling, petty vulture tearing the heart out of the motherland that your friend meant," Reivik comments loudly, "I find myself in whole-hearted agreement!"

"I agree 100%. Maybe that is why we need to look around for a day and a half before meeting him."



Upon hearing that it was 5 urchins crushed, George also gives the lady a piece of silver, only grabs 5 flowers than gives the rest back to the lady and sets those 5 flowers on the shrine. George's head is down and he is reverently silent.

Walking to his companions, he says "Copper for platnium, it was Latalya or Anastasia who did that......That move sounds so Annie like, but I think only Latalya could pull it off. Of course I could be wrong. With all of the strangers in town, it could be anyone......Where do you thik they might be?"

"Like the lady said, safe in Pelor's arms. With any luck they'll be sitting down to a fine meal which we can join. I'm sure they will have an exciting story to tell this evening." Morley looks at the fallen stone and where the statue fell. "It would take something pretty strong to knock off that stuff don't you think?"

 

[Ranger Rick]

George looks at Morley, "You want to solve this mystery? I thought you where hungry? OK, Lets us figure out what caused the block of stone to fall. Lead the way and I shall be your faithful Mr. Watson. Or do you want Revik to fill that part?"

"I don't know that I have the skills to solve this one, but perhaps our 'Master Builder' can shed some light on it?"

 

[Hypersmurf]

"What caused the block to fall?" Reivik shrugs. "How many dwarves do you count on that construction crew?"

"I'm not sure how much I can tell you - I've worked as a labourer on walls before, but it was just grunt work - the engineers are the ones who know the wheres and the whys."

Nevertheless, he gives the wall a careful looking-over from the street.

OOC: Stonecunning gives a +2 to my untrained Architecture and Engineering Does the wall actually appear at all unsafe?

I'd also like to cast a Detect Magic, and see if there's anything odd about the temple... lingering auras, or curses, or what-have-you.

 

[Ranger Rick]

George at a loss, looks around the crowd to see if there is anyone to ask what happened. Lacking that perception, he sits down at a shady spot if possible. For dective purposes, he than assumes some physicaly pushed the block. He now looks for the retreating path the 'pusher' would have taken. (spot/listen + 17). Edit: George uses his "hand of glory" to activate see invisibility.

When Morley walks near, George calls him over, "Morley, can you track in the dark? I ask because maybe tonight we can climb up there and see what we can find. I recommend you go invisible though."

 

[Scotley]

"With a little time to prepare the right spells I could try and track after dark. Invisibility, however, I'll need help with. You're thinking I need to start up there?" he says pointing to the place from which the stone fell. "I can get up there easy enough."

"Aye, I think we need to start at the last known point. However, I am leery of being spotted. Therefore night and invisibility. To easy to be seen even if we are invisible in daylight. Also I can switch back and forth easy enough so we can better coordinate movement.”

OOC: I slip me ring on and off and use my hide skill +10. Morley would be able to find me and using listen we do not need to be tripping over each other. Than again if I can get a see invisibility and as well as Morley we can be very stealth.
