Vengeance in Mornonas

-- In front of the temple
Nobody seems to react to Telic accusation, people are either scarred or they didn't see what happened.

After about two or three minutes you all hear the door unlock. The old man who seems now much weaker than when he met Telic for the first time. "Sorry, sergeant my old legs are not what they used to be and they were so many stairs, come on in, the bodies are behind the altar. The poor ones got backstabbed right in the middle of their prayers by these two ruffians they tried to escape but they finished them behind the altar. I hope this will be enough to convince you.

The old man points at the various blood track on the ground, obviously the bodies were moved behind the altar.

The sergeant looks at Telic, How can you accuse this poor man of hitting you with a blade. Obviously the poor man can barely move, crushed by the weight of his old armor. He then turns towards the priest. "Sorry, father to disturb the peace of your house of prayer but we need to see the body in order to testify"

the priest replies "No problem my son, Justice must be done"

The youngest soldier heads in front and the others follow.

--- Around the temple

Solomon is now looking at the western side of the temple. It is basically a mirror copy of the eastern side.

The halfling is now very close to Solomon. She then shouts "Sir, may I help you? Solomon looks carefully at the halfling and notices that she is a young female halfling wearing very short hair like a boy. She wears two very large hearing and she isn't particularly attractive. Her hair are brown as well as her eyes. She now hold her staff with two hands and her right leg seems as strong as her left one.

-- At the university

Hl'lar smiles at Oculus reaction. "I just met the most beautiful human women of my entire life, last week in this university, we talk for about a minute but that was enough for her to steal my hearth. I 've been looking for her for the past few days without success. She is beautiful and wearing tatoo all over her face and maybe her body too but I didn't had the previlege to confirm He winks at Oculus "If you know what I mean". He then lowers his head. "Obviously she is not around anymore and I don't know where I can start my search

The old professor replies "Women with tatoo all over their body?

She then whispers to Oculus "What a strange coincidence"

Hl'lar eyes lit and he add "You know her?"

"No, No .... but Heee ..." She might be a good professor but she is really a poor liar.

OOC Obviously she never saw a living sorceress but she is thinking about some pictures and text on the book she researched. I will wait for your reply SilentSpace before I continue with you other actions. Don't worry if you can't post as often, as long as you let me know.

Telic Freeman, Human Male Traveller.

The silence of the people saddens Telic. Justice is perhaps not as fair and impartial in Mornonas as it is should be.

Telic considers the priest with undisguised disgust.

As the sergeant and the guards move inside, Telic goes with them.

ooc: I assume they wouldn't leave him standing outside by himself. If the priest objects, Telic will ask him why, if the truth really does stand in his corner, does he fear allowing other voices to be heard?

Once inside Telic begins to walk the guards through the fight, pointing out the various indications of what he describes. He speaks simply and earnestly, avoiding all of the usual tricks of misdirection. He has no need to mislead or obfuscate here. But he does need them to believe him, or at least have reason enough to doubt the priest.

Telic suspects that the door behind the tapestry will prove to be a hidden one. But there is nothing he can do about that. He sticks to the plain truth, knowing that he will have to cross that bridge when he comes to it.

ooc: Some thoughts in the ooc thread - it got kinda long.
 


Dai will move with Telic, nodding once in a while, but more often than not keeping an eye on the guards and the priest. He is quite disgusted with the manner in which "justice" is conducted here, he knows all too well what justice might be for him.
 

Solomon

Solomon's left hand still holds his bow and an arrow. He raises his right hand, palm out towards the halfling. "Stay back, please. I have been the victim of unjust attack more than once today already. There are foul doings in the temple. You had best stay away from the area." He'll look around the courtyard in front of the temple, trying to figure out what's going on/.
 

---- In the temple

Dai, Telic and the four soldiers enter the temple. Things are awefully quiet.

Dai:
Dai notices a boots probably belonging to someone hidden behind the door, he quickly looks at the other door on the other side and can also notice that it isn't completly open and could also hide someone else

Telic:
Telic doesn't notice anything particularly wrong and quickly heads towards the pillar full of blood to describes the sequence of events

---Outside the temple

The young halfling then adds " I think you didn't understand me very well, this is the holy temple of Heireionous and you are clearly here to disturb it's peace. I will ask you once, may you leave this place or I will have to use more convincing mean "
The little halfling seems extremely serious and his obviously trying to intimidate Solomon without success. She firmly grasps her wand and slightly bends her knee ready for any attack.
 


Noticing the likely ambush, gives a word quickly, "Ie! The doors, men behind the doors." Relaxing his body, he waits for some reaction.
 

Jasper Conrad

DarkMaster said:
--- In the street ---
Jraq suddenly stops and then starts running making signs to Jasper.

Jasper can see that the temple is about 300 meters away.

"Huh?" is Jasper's first reaction when Jraq breaks into a run. Then he sees the hand signals and starts running after, trying to catch up. I hope he meant for me to run too.

OOC: Can Jasper still see the councilor?
 

Solomon Kreel

Solomon shakes his head and rolls his eyes. "Who is this Heironeous? Is he not a good of justice and order? I have been repeatedly provoked and attacked by those who claim to be his followers. I say to you, there are orcs in the hall of your god. And they mean no good for this city."

He nods at the door he had passed earlier. "Go and see for yourself, but leave me be. I have little patience now."
