The Retrievers - Chapter 2

[Wilphe]

Pemberton Dram - Artist 2

Pemberton looks at Mindal; raises his eyebrows and dismounts - keeping his hands well apart from any weapons and moving in as a slow, deliberate and non-threatening way as possible. When Brenden starts being "Theatrical" he will ensure that he isn't in any of the guards' line of fire,
"Silvered weapons? Whatever it is you are on your guard against must be grave indeed. I assure you we are no part of it," he holds his arm out and proffers it to be cut, in the entirely expected event of nothing happening he will continue"It would appear then, that we are glad to come under your walls protection; for whatever horror haunts outside must be of great power to threaten such stalwarts as yourselves."

"We are travellers from the south; we wish only a place to rest up and as you can see we are not peniless vagrants but rather have enough coin to spend to pay our way."


OOC:
I suppose that's Diplomacy "We are not a threat"
&
Bluff "Please do not notice how I am not answering your questions"

"Blood?" Gripir raises an eyebrow, but when he sees Pemberton stepping forward to allow blood to be drawn, he follows suit.

Chapter - Attempting to enter the town

Unddreth stares at Brenden without even a hint of a smile on his face. "Pay particular attention to this one here boys as he might be trouble." When this is said all of the crossbows on the walls point their bolts directly at you. "No we are not a haven for the soulless Vampire spawn; we are actually allied with Silverymoon and are a member of the "Silver Marches Confederation". If you knew anything about these parts around here and if you happened to notice our specialized weapons you would realize what I am asking you this."

He then turns to Wilphe as he approaches and staring intently into your eyes he draws the finely crafted dagger across the palm of you hand. You a little with the pain but upon seeing no other reaction he seems satisfied. "You will be allowed into the city jut as long as you answer my questions I out forth to you already. We have valid reasons to fear any outsiders and no one is allowed into the city unless I deem them safe to enter. So if any of the others want inside they will have to dismount and go through the same treatment I just gave you."

 

[Wilphe]

OOC: Untrained knowledge check; Does he in fact know anything about these parts?

 

[Scotley]

Mindal Human Scout

Mindal bares an arm for the guard with a no nonsense approach, "My name is Mindal Delamber and I only come to your fair city to get in out of the weather and have a bit of food. I am from the Waterdeep area. Please take care in getting a sample from the horse as he is borrowed."

 

[Elocin]

OOC: Untrained knowledge check; Does he in fact know anything about these parts?

(OOC: Pemberton and Gripir can make knowledge checks to see if they know/remember anything about the area. Also you all can make your own skill check rolls just use invisibl castle and use your name when rolling and then post them here. This will help me aout a lot and will speed things up.)

 

[Erekose13]

Sten Temperlan, human cleric of Grumbar 2; hp 18/18; AC 17 (ff15); Spot/Listen +2.

Only after Pemberton, Mindal and Gripir have bleed does Sten step forward offering his name, "I am Sten Temperlan also from Waterdeep and here for the same food and shelter as the rest of our group." He holds out his arm which is covered in a criss-cross of scars from all the blood he has given to his faith.

 

[Lobo Lurker]

Unddreth stares at Brenden without even a hint of a smile on his face. "Pay particular attention to this one here boys as he might be trouble." When this is said all of the crossbows on the walls point their bolts directly at you. "No we are not a haven for the soulless Vampire spawn; we are actually allied with Silverymoon and are a member of the "Silver Marches Confederation". If you knew anything about these parts around here and if you happened to notice our specialized weapons you would realize what I am asking you this."

"Well, it just so happens that I don't recognize your specialized weapons... and you still haven't answered my question. Why do you need our blood? Blood can be put to a variety of uses... trust me on this. I am in a position to know." He folds his arms again, steadfastly ignoring the crossbows pointed in his direction (though his companions know the truth... he simply hasn't noticed them yet).

"I am Brenden of Thay. And I have no knowledge of the Silver Marshes... why don't you enlighten me? You ask for a precious gift, and grant nothing in return."

 

[Harvey]

Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1

Durnn has pretty much remained speechless during this whole exchange. "Umm..." "Well, if everybody else is willing to go through with it..."

"I'm Durnn of Waterdeep... and, well, I'm with them." Durnn holds out his palm hesitantly.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

"Gripirdorn. Saymasthares." Gripir says nothing after this, waiting to see what happens.
