Vengeance in Mornonas

[Kangaxx]

Jasper Conrad

OOC: Since Telic's altered actions have removed the problem Jasper was so worried about...

"Ok, let's go to the sewers. But we should leave someone here to watch Telic's back and get him back to the inn afterwards." He looks across the group, hoping for a volunteer.

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

Solomon pauses, his bow and arrow still in hand. If Tellic is attacked, he will start shooting. "Yes Jasper. If Tellic is not attacked, we should go. I hate to waste time, but we can't leave Tellic just yet."

---- At the university

Hl'lar eyes lit when he hears Oculus interest for the women. "Obviously you know her too. Why would I tell you all that? What is your little relationship with Uder, what are you too doing? He pauses and makes a large smile revealing his golden teeth and adds with a sarcastic tone "You know ... Nothings for free in this world.

He knows! How does he know? Is it that obvious? Well, its too late to worry about that now. I have to see what I can learn.

"What do you mean by that Hl'lar? Why not tell me? You met a tattooed woman for a few moments here in the University, and was smitten by her. That's a great story, a story of Love at First Sight. It's the stuff that the great Romantic tales are made of. Except that the great stories always have a little bit more detail than that! Like what was she doing when you first saw her? What she was wearing? What did you speak about? You shouldn't tell stories like that unless you're willing to give a few details!"

"As to what I'm doing with Uder, I'm just a student here at the University. I saw my professor here sitting with Uder, looking like they were researching something important. The professor introduced me to him, and Uder invited me to join them. So here I am. Uder's a historian and an archeologist, and we've been researching ancient arcana."

"See? That's how you tell a story! It's a boring story, about how a university student met a professor in a library to do some research. It's nothing at all like your story, of falling in love with a strange tattooed woman! Except, even though my story should be boring, if we told it in a tavern, mine would be more interesting than yours, because at least I can give a few details, you know, paint a little picture with words!"

 

[DarkMaster]

Hl'lar looks at the Oculus for a long moment not saying a word. Once Oculus his done he starts to rub his lips with his finger and says"You see, I wasn't expecting anything exciting from you young men. Pointing at Oculus as he says "you". He continued visibely amused by the student attempts to fool him"What I am interest in is what Uder is researching" He pauses for a second and makes a big sigh "But I guess your are not ready to share information with me, too bad we could have been very good friend ... Mhh ... at least very good business partner

Even if the man seems quite an actor and probably don't say everything he knows, Oculus feels that he could somehow trust this men.

 

[DarkMaster]

Seeing the crowd reaction the guards let Telic approaches. Telic doesn't feel that these men are evil. Telic kneels and observes the body they are all visibely dead. All of them have at least three arrow stuck in their body.Telic cannot see them very well since they are face down on the ground.

One of the militian adds nervously looking at Telic "We checked them they are dead already. (roll spot 11 + 1) Telic notices that the man is visibely shaking and (sense motive roll 14+1) horrified by what just happened.
The one who seems to be in charge looks back at Telic putting the blade of his sword on Telic's neck and whispers to him "Enough, don't say a word, get away from this city and I will spare your life" Telic doesn't feel an ounce of hesitation in this man voices.

OOC Notice that I just indicate the skill roll you succeeded in. I don't reveal the failed one to reduces the meta-gaming.

 

[doghead]

Telic Freeman, Human Male Traveller.

Telic knows he can not do what the mans asks. He knows because, to his shame, he considers it. But he can not walk away from such evil. And he cannot allow to pass untaken such an opportunity to strike at corruption that has permiated into the heart of 'Authority'. Too weaken its hold over people. He is a servant of Olidammara. But a cold shiver passes down his spine at the touch of the naked steel against his neck.

"I do not have a bow."

The idea planted, Telic switches tack again, leaving the listeners to see the implications of that fact themselves.

"Terrible evils have been done by men of power in Meringove. But now those actions are exposed in the harsh light of day for all to see. A terrible reckoning is coming for those men. Its not too late for you to step away from that path and their fate."

Telic wonders what his own fate will be. And if it is to be decided here and now by the man with the cold voice.

ooc: No problem. I don't tell my players the results when they succeed either. That way they can't distinguish a success from a bad failure.

 

[Ferrix]

Dai begins to meander his way through the crowd, hopefully getting slightly closer to Telic, he doesn't want to abandon the warrior if things turn for the worse.

OOC: If it looks like combat will break out, Dai will move in as quickly as possible to aid Telic; if Telic goes down and they flee, he'll move in and heal Telic with his wand of CLW; if Telic goes down and they stay, he'll rush in and snag Telic and move for his companions where he can more safely heal him.

 

[DarkMaster]

As Dai is approaching the guards, the leader of their group pulls out a pair of manacles. He approaches Telic and whispers with a very mean tone "I am no fool, I won't kill you here in front of the temple for the whole city to know about our little secret" He then raises his head back up and tells the crowd " I will bring this men to a house of justice where he will receive a fair trial according to the Mergovian law" The three other soldiers stay silent. Some people in the crowd seems satisfied by the soldiers answers, but others look at them suspiciously. The soldier is about to put the manacle on Telic hand. Dai is about 20' from them and the rest of the party is about 80' from there.

Gnarll who kind of developed an affection for the knigth and is not yet fully aware of the situation says "What did he do, why are these Prumen militian here?
This man saved my life I can let them execute him. . The half ogre heads towards the guards hopping he can convince them to release Telic.

 

[doghead]

Telic Freeman, Human Male Paladin.

"I understand," Telic responds quietly and he gets to his feet.

Once he is up he steps away and raises his arms in a gesture of appeasment. But his eyes are hard.

"We will stay here and wait for the guard." Telic announces clearly. "If you speak the truth, then you have no good reason to fear their arrival. I know that I have no reason to fear them. But twice you have tried to kill me. You must excuse me for suspecting that you wish to try again. I will not go with you."

ooc: DarkMaster - Could you give me a Spot check to notice Dai and Gnarll. Spot +1.

 

[DarkMaster]

The soldier put the manacle on Telic. Telic notices Dai who just got out of the crowd and is about 15' feet from them. He also notices Gnarll head further back.

The soldier notices Dai. He shouts to the crowd "Stop this men, he was with him, his hands carry the blood of these man" Dai notices two dwarfs, and three humans who seems to be factory workers approach him. "Let's get him guy, we probably can get a good reward for him. and one of the dwarf adds "Yeah, lets get rid of these trouble makers.
