[Unbounded World:The Aeterian Expedition] (Now With New And Improved Amulets!)

"Coconuts? You'd better use it to crack rocks or you'll never stop wondering wich of the two makes that hollow sound. So what's next? A night of ale and whores and we meet again here at sunrise or what? Or do we try to find a priest or mage to cast see invisible on us or find some scrolls or something, and then go on to a night of ale and whores?"

Teppic gives Skor a curious look.

"Well we can certainly tell where your interests lie. . . nevermind. I'm going to go in search of some assistance. . . .Try not to get yourselves into too much trouble."

[ooc - Teppic leaves his chambers and goes in search of someone to talk to. Higher end priests to discuss the "sleep" effect and possible causes/solutions. His superiors to see about getting stuff with which to solve said problem. . . and anyone else who owes him a favor :) ]
 

OOC - Trying to gather an army ? Could you be a little more specific who you're looking for, I'll make a brief list of options, if you have a better idea post that and I'll go with it too.

Higher End Priests
Head Librarian (Available) (15th level)
The Raiser (Likely to take a day) (17th level)
You could also petition an audience with one of the Wakeful Dead although this is likely to take at least a day to a week. (Levels vary from 9th to 23rd)

Superiors
Pharaoh (Tomorrow to a week depending on how much you pushed) (Likely to have some useful equipmentm the Pharaoh's treasure hoarde is vast.)
High Priest (Could probably get an audience today if you wanted it) (21st level)
Guard Captain (Today or Tomorrow) (17th level)

Others
Teppic could attempt to contact his brother (13th level).
Or request help from fellow members of his order, since he's the second highest ranking member. (Again levels vary as do classes.)
Teppic might also be able to call on some of his contacts in seedier areas of the city, that he's made over the years of tracking down the big fish. (Mostly low level but good for acquiring information and *cough*hard to acquire*cough* items *cough*of dubious legality*cough*.)

Lochan's gaze slides smoothly from Teppic to Skor as he departs, the half-dragon's crass manner meriting no more than a slight narrowing of the eyes.

Teppic heads out of his chambers and to the temple's library. He grabs the closest librarian and requests an audience with the head librarian as soon as possible.
 

The librarian nods and skurries off. Teppic soon finds himself escorted into the head librarian's office. Tavic the head librarian nods at you as you enter his office.

"Greetings Harrier, how may I be of assistance ? "
 

Teppic returns the librarian's greetings and bows slightly.

"Good day to you, Master Tavic. I am in the middle of executing a very difficult case and have come to you in hopes of gaining knowledge to aid me. Sufice to say that powerful, mystic forces are loose in the deserts, and it falls to myself and some companions to combat them. My target is a young blue dragon that seems to have disposed of two elder bronze dragons, including their bodies. It was also able to handily deal with my friends and I, sending many of us into a deep slumber seemingly at will. If we are to defeat this threat to Aeter, I could use any help you could offer in determining the method by which the blue so handily incapacitated us and any defences we might mount against such tactics, given the resources available to me."
 

Tavic nods and sits in thought for a minute before he gets up and heads out to the library returning soon after with a book.

"Yes, as I thought I remembered, the bronze dragons can breathe a cone of sleep. I am unsure precisely what you might use, but anything to strengthen your will, or to make you immune to magical sleep would seem to be the only methods, that would be effective. "
 

Skor, halfdragon barbarian monk.

Grinning from ear to ear at the cold and/or disgusted looks he's getting Skor bows deeply at the group of fellow adventurers. "Lady, and fine gentlemen. I can see that my form of entertainment is a little too base for your finer tastes. However, should you find yourself able to lower your high standards a little, you're more then welcome to join me as I unwind from almost getting killed, seeing one of my comrades in arms getting killed and then having to kill him again whilst the rest of you was taking a nap. So I greet thee farewell, and should you have need of me, just follow the noise downtown. I'll be here again in fighting condition at dawn tomorrow."

With that he departs for the night. Those wishing to join him are welcomed with a slap on the back and a friendly "We'll show these sons of camels who's the nastiest man in town." His plan is fairly simple : get out and have a good time, since tomorrow we can all be dead. He acts the dumb drunk barbarian cliche, while staying reasonably sober, accidentally knocking over his drink in a few bars, and getting "more drunk" when he switches from bar to bar, trying to see if someone takes the bait. When no trouble is forthcoming he'll seek out some ladies of negotiable virtue in a better-classed establishment and will give orders to be awakened just before dawn by the servants.

OOC: if anyone has any problems with the way I play the uncouth barbarian, let me know and I'll tone down a little.
 

Teppic nods along with the librarian's statement.

"So, she's controlling the bronze dragons in some way. . . either alive, or dead. . . so my options are to resist the effect or break the control and hope that the bronzes come out on my side. Well, thank you for your quick response."

Teppic bows once more and leaves the library at the end of the conversation.

[ooc - if Sollir shows up ever, he might try consulting with Talsia for a short while here. I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here. Who is the highest ranking Harrier? You mention I'm #2, is the guard captain #1, or seperate. Who knows about my mission already, i.e. the original quest for the sword?]
