The Return (The Heros of Mergovie)

[DarkMaster]

Trolm grieving the lost of his friend steps on the monster and pierce his neck with the blade of his sword. But visibely that do not seems to be enough to calm down his hate.

Oculus looks around to see who needs his help first. Solomon seems to be the most injured of the two, his internal organs spilled on the ground Oculus wonder how he can still be alive. He rushes to him and cast his CLW (roll 4+1) The spell regives Solomon's body a form that can sustain life and most of the bleeding seems to have stop (Solomon now at -1/-9 stable) Oculus then heads towards Dai.

Oculus can't determine his state so he doesn't take a chance and cast his cure minor wound at him (Dai stabilised at -5 so he is now at -4). Trolm who started to loot the Ogre and Orc brings back a potion of cure moderate wounds and 2 potions of cure light wounds(They assume so from past experience meeting the orcs). He also says that he suspect that the other Orc also have one.

Oculus gives one of the CLW potion to Dai (2+3 Dai now at 1) Dai slowly regains conciousness. At the same time Trolm went to give the potion to Solomon (roll 4+3) His injury seems to cure themselves the half-orc opens his eyes but quickly falls back uncounscious as his rage end. Trolm pick up another potion on one of the Orc and gives it to Solomon again (1+3 Solomon now at 2)Solomon wakes up not knowing how he can still be alive.

Jasper appears in the doorstep.

"Thank Fharlanghn, and all the merciful gods," Oculus says as his friends recover. "Quickly, let's take what we can and get out of here." He quickly explains the situation to Dai and Solomon.

Oculus says a prayer over Jraq's body as the others prepare to leave. He suggests taking Jraq's body with them, to give him a proper burial, if they can.

 

[Ferrix]

Dai lets out a curse in his native tongue and clutches what was nearly a severed arm, still in pain. "D'ya think we can do a bit better next time?"

Solomon Kreel

Solomon rises, looking confused. He keeps glancing around, as though looking for someone who is not there. "I....I...where did he go?" Shaking his head, he takes a deep breath and focuses on the room.

"Yes. We must go. We will take Jraq's body. Can one of you wizards detect for magic before we go? And thank you, Trolm and Oculus, for saving my life yet again. I am forever in your debt."

Solomon picks up Jraq's body and slings it over his shoulder, keeping his axe in the other hand. "We have much to think about." He waits to make sure Trolm, or someone, takes the head.

Once they begin walking, closing the doors behind them, Solomon starts to talk again. "The orc leader fled. Even though he could have defeated us. Something scared him, and it wasn't me. I think it was the lightening bolt. We must bear that in mind. The orcs fear magic. Also, there were no witnesses to our near defeat. As long as they don't find Jraq's body, all they know is that we came, killed 3 militiamen, 3 orcs, and an ogre. They may come to fear us. I don't want them to find Jraq's body. But we can't very well carry it across town with us either. We need to keep an eye out for a place to bury or hide it.

OOC: What equipment does Jraq have? Otherwise, out net is one potion of CMW? Solomon does want to search the bodies as well, taking any keys or other valuables.

Jasper Conrad

Jasper watches from the doorway as his companions rise, too overcome with over abandoning them to say anything. He simply focuses his attention on the floor as they prepare to leave.

Once they begin walking, closing the doors behind them, Solomon starts to talk again. "The orc leader fled. Even though he could have defeated us. Something scared him, and it wasn't me. I think it was the lightening bolt. We must bear that in mind. The orcs fear magic. Also, there were no witnesses to our near defeat.

But we can't very well carry it across town with us either. We need to keep an eye out for a place to bury or hide it.

"I.. I think it was the lightning bolt. I cast it from a scroll, but if he didn't notice that he would assume that I'm a significantly more powerful wizard than he expected." Jasper looks up at Solomon while speaking, then his eyes trail along Jraq's body to where his head should be, and Jasper returns his focus to the floor.

 

[DarkMaster]

OOC assuming a relatively quick search of the bodies and area

(search roll Solomon 9+4, Jasper 12+4, Oculus 2+4, Dai 11, Trolm 13)

A quick search of the room and body reveals the following.
On the ground they find the a beautifully crafted Black wood bow (The leader bow)
On the Orcs they find a total of 200 drar, 1 CLW potion per Orc 3 were used so 2 left and 5 similar sets of key, 5 studded leather, 5 falchion and a few uninteresting personal things, like bone dice,bone and metal religious statue, garbage.
on the Ogre, Large studded leather made of high quality bull leather, A finely crafted large greataxe, 1000drar, and a silver shiny ring on his left hand. A special set of key obviously very different from the one found on the orc and a Cure Moderate wound potion.

The beds are empty

The ring, the bow and the potions (obviously) radiate magic.

Trolm pick up the head of his deceased friend. Promising himself to kill all those who are responsible for all these death. He do not seems disgusted by it a bit. Seeing how Jasper seems to avoid it, he quickly store it in a bag.

The group gets back to the sewer and walk back towards where they came from (I don't really know where you want to go back?) As they walk down the sewers Trolm asks Solomon. "I wonder where we will bury Jraq's body, in this rat hole." He pauses a few second and continues "But I agree we can't let them know that we lost one of our"

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon is shocked to find the bow of the orc leader, obviously a powerful and important item. "He really WAS scared." Solomon mutters.

Having collected all the transportable valuables, they'll head back the way they came. "We're too badly wounded to fight again. Let's head back to our hotel. Hopefully we can find a place to bury Jraq on the way."

OOC: I guess we won't take any of the ogre's armor or weapons. Just too big to handle or carry about in town without attracting attention.

 

[Ferrix]

Dai takes an interested look at the ring, he had heard of rings which protect the wearer from physical harm, and after today's events could use such an item. On the way out, he sings quietly a litany for the dead.

OOC: Dai could shoulder perhaps the greataxe and armor, he's not really encumbered at all

 

[DarkMaster]

OOC Dai can take them on his shoulder without problem.

(Listen Oculus 6+3, Jasper 10+3, Solomon 15+7, Dai 6+2, Trolm 11).

As the group continues their escape down the sewer tunnel. Solomon pauses his walk as he hears a very subtle metalic sound. He concentrates a few second on the source of the sound. As the other becomes quiet it is clear to Solomon that this is the sound of people walking in armor and that it's coming from both sides of the tunnel. He also notices various level of intensity on both sides. It looks like his enemy is moving in the sewer in at least three of four different group and they are not that far from them.

 

[Manzanita]

"Shhhh" Solomon halts and holds up his hand. "They're after us." he whispers. "We must exit these sewers. Extinguish our lights. Everyone take hands; I will lead us."

Solomon reduces their pace and tries to keep everyone silent. Looking down, does it appear they are leaving tracks? He'll also keep glancing up to see if he can see a grate to the streets above.
