TiCaudata's Mish Mash Campaign

[TiCaudata]

[sblock=mn]The lizardfolk appear to have just charge blindly from the swamp, a short foray into the area indicates that there are a variety of trails they could have followed. There are probably only 10 dead lizardfolk on the pyre, and more injured appear to have escaped. There doesn't appear to be too many fresh militia bodies in this area, but some have sustained injuries.[/sblock]

Ava follows the others, trying to understand the anger that was just expressed towards her.

Angrod looks at Kote and Logan. "Unless you've gots better notions... I guess I'll look 'round... See what news there is."
[sblock=OOC]Unless someone else offers anything, Angrod will simply roam around the town using Gather Info +4 to learn anything that he can about news around the town generally, and the shipment in particular.[/sblock]

"Seems a good plan," Logan responds. He further informs the group, "Looks like the things just ran in willy-nilly. Some ended up getting away, too. Maybe it's just like the one says - lizards just attack the place for sport?"

"Hmmm. It seems like an odd thing to do...but would be a reasonably good tactic where they attempting to serve as a distraction for something else. It appears that these folk aren't much help for us. While I would would interested is looking after this lighthouse, I think our darling Ava is correct. We should at the very least secure our charge before spinning off to a new hunt. We shouldn't develop a reputation for abandoning tasks we've been put to, it might come back to us someday."

"Angrod, I believe you are the best equipped to help us locate someone who can tell us where the goods would have been coming in from. We'll need to know at least which direction to go. So, have at it. We'll mingle around and see what we can find out."

[sblock=Angrod]Angrod spends some time wandering the town looking for information. While the town is small, the port is bustling with activity, and there appears to be no loss of traffic in and out along the sea. He casually questions the harbor master about any missing ships and is met with a snarl. "Consarnit!! If I've'a told'em him once I've'a told'en him a thousand times! Even WITH these missing ships, I ain't got time to deal with merchants poking around looking for answers! Go talk to the blasted mayor you ragamuffin, good for nuttin' bounty hunter!"[/sblock]

After wandering about, looking for answers, Angrod eventually meets back up with the others.

"So... ah... word at the dock is that there's more'n one ship missin'."

The elf then adds, a bit more quietly, as he shrugs his shoulders, "And... ah... the harbormaster says we should, umm, ask the mayor..." Angrod coughs into his hand, and the look on his face either says "I guess so" or "I told you so," though it's not immediately apparent which.

 

[o3caudata]

"Good show. Lets see about this mayor. Perhaps we can offer our services as incentive for his help in locating our missing shipment. Give and take and all. Lets be quick about it."

 

[worthley]

Ava let's the complete lack of irony pass through her mind, and then begins to head toward the mayor's home. "Guess the gods really want us to meet the mayor."

 

[TiCaudata]

The mayor's house found quickly after only having to ask a couple times. Larger than its neighbors, the house appears to belong to someone who is wealthy, without the excesses of greed. On the signpost there is a posting that reads "Ship inquiries can be directed inside."

As the group enters the house, they find themselves quickly escorted to a courtyard where a middle aged man is pruning roses. He looks up, takes the measure of the party, and mutters "Oh Cuthbert! Not a NEW merchant demanding I find his ship."
