Vengeance in Mornonas

[doghead]

Xavier Roces

As Xavier finishes his sentence he notice the women dressed in very transparent cloth, half hidden behind a rich red curtain. He notices that the music is coming out of a small open boxes on her desk and multiple candles are releasing in the air the wonderfull odor.

"Don't be so modest, you know perfectly well why you are here." Still half hidden behind the curtain she smiles at him and make a subtle sign with the head telling him to approach. "Don't be shy put yourself at ease" The aroma, the music and the women are so tempting. The temptation is strong that Xavier can't understand why he feels like he his losing control (Will save roll 16+6) But he suddenly realises that his temptation is caused by more than the gorgeous women, the music or the delicious odor.

Xavier shakes his head to clear it. He reaches over and jerks open the wagon door.

"Oa! Up and heel!" The great grey wolfhound is up and through the door in one smooth bound.

"Oa, this is Sylla." Xavier looks back at Sylla. "Sylla, this is Oa. He is a Ereslain wolf hound. Beautiful isn't he." Xavier rubs the wolf hounds ears affectionately.

"Unfortunately, I think that I do understand why I am here. I was hoping for something a little less ... prosaic.

"Good night Sylla."

And with that Xavier leaves the wagon, taking care to keep an eye on Sylla. He heads back to the his horse keeping a sharp look out for trouble. And pretty certain that if Sylla is up to something, Volandor'th is in on it too. He picks up his saddle and slings it over his shoulder. Taking his horses reins, he heads in the direction of the inn with Oa padding along at his heels.

OOC I will wait for the other to post before I continue at Joe's house

The beautiful half naked women looks a bit scarred as the hound enter the caravan. Her mood then shifts to surprise as the young noble decides to leave her. As Xavier leaves he can see the women look at him by the window, (sense motive xxx+7) still not understanding why he left so quickly.

The half elf who returned around the fire, playing of his string instrument , stops and rises as he sees Xavier leaves. Xavier even from this distance 50' can see the half-elf looking at him straight in the eyes. Xavier can't say for sure (sense motive xxxx+7) how the half-elf feels about what just happened. One thing for sure is that he doesn't try to stop him. Once Xavier is about 100' from him mixed among the crowd is simply grabs his instrument, sits back and starts playing like nothing happened.

Xavier finally makes it to the bar. He enters the crowded place. The same four peoples are working at the bar and he notices a few places where he could sit, order and eat.

Xavier heads over to the counter where he inquires about rooms and stabling. If either are available, he will take them. Once that is sorted, he will find and empty place and get something to eat.

Jasper Conrad

Lost in his thoughts for a moment, Jasper suddenly realizes that the whole room is talking. He makes a mental list of their concerns and what he wants to say even as he moves into the center of the room and motions for them to be quiet. Once things have quieted down a bit he speaks up. "Everyone relax. We have to focus on the big objectives here. We can't just go attack the temple or the boat, because even if we don't get killed, we probably wouldn't catch Uder and get the orbs. And if we fail, there's nobody else to take up the fight." He looks solemnly across the group. "The key to Uder's plan is those orbs, and anything we do that isn't helping us get them is an unnecessary risk."

"Solomon, I have no reason to think to think that they have enough orcs to overrun the entire city. Or even that they would want to, since there's an army of goblins on the way. The concrete problems are big enough that we should avoid abstract ones."

"Tomorrow morning, Jraq, Trolm, myself, and maybe Oculus and Joe are going to speak with the baron about the goblins and Prumen. Dai and Solomon, you two need to lay low at least until tomorrow night. Maybe you could look around for the Almets with Karn, but don't get in a fight no matter what the circumstances may be. We don't have a lot to go on right now, but between the meeting with the baron and Oculus' investigation, that could easily change tomorrow."

Jasper looks like he's going to continue, but them stops and looks round the group to see what they think of what he has said.

Solomon Kreel

"OK. You have a plan for the morrow. Good. Karn, Dai and I are wanted and look distinctive. It would be dangerous for us to go out. Perhaps you could take a walk tomorrow. Go by the temple and the hotel where Gror stayed. Then come back and tell us what you've found. Don't get in any fights."

"Perhaps Dai and I could explore the sewers a bit. Does anyone know of entrances nearby? Also, does anyone have any more healing magic available today?"

 

[Ferrix]

Dai listens and watches his companions, he nods once in a while but remains mostly silent. "Be seem'n da best t'do 's rest. 'dere a spot 'e can sleep?"

OOC: I'll be away till the 4th, NPC me if need be.

 

[DarkMaster]

Joe answers Solomon's question. "You can access the sewer almost anywhere in the city. But it can be difficult to find your way to the temple from a nearby access. Has for healing magic wait a bit Joe's head towards his office coming out a minute later with a few herbs and potion he applied the herbs and offer potions to anyone injured.

OOC everybody in the room is now fully healed.

-----------------------------

Xavier takes rent a room and buys a good meal. Xavier eats the pork with vegetable at a nearby table surrounded by noisy drunk merchant. The activity in this room never seems to stop as people are leaving new one are coming in. No one in the room strikes the young noble interest.

Solomon Kreel

"One more thing, Joe, before I go to bed. Tonight I met an old Axyr veteran. I think he was a homeless begger. But he had some yellow paste in a bag and on his dagger. The way he acted it seemed to be a drug. Do you know what that might be?"

Xavier Roces, Human Male.

Xavier takes rent a room and buys a good meal. Xavier eats the pork with vegetable at a nearby table surrounded by noisy drunk merchant. The activity in this room never seems to stop as people are leaving new one are coming in. No one in the room strikes the young noble interest.

Xavier finishes his meal quietly before spending a little while over his ale, listen to the ebb and flow of the conversations around him. Nothing strikes him as being of interest so he eventually, after on last check on his horse and dog, retires for the night. For a while he considers keeping his hound with him, but eventually he decides to leave it with his horse.

For some reason, perhaps he was more rattled by the events in the caravan than he thought, Xavier double checks his door and window are latched, slips his daggar under his pillow and places his sword close to hand. With a final prayer to H., he climbs into bed.

Oculus heads towards the Kobold sailor, It's now around 10:30. The University street being magically lit make the trip relatively safe. As he gets outside the university district he takes the King's road which is usually busy at any hours of the day. This street is usually safe and most student looking for a bit of a entertaining in the port section of town usually takes it. Oculus walk down the steep road to the port section. As usual he crosses various kind of people. Brigand, thief, beggar, female of all races selling their body for a few coins, people selling various alchemical substances that makes you forget or gives you energy. He finally makes it to the Kobold sailor. The place is full as usual with various adventurers, sailors and locals looking for a bit of entertainement. Oculus also see a table of student drinking and having fun with female of doubtfull activity. At the bar the old Trey, the only kobold who served in the mergovian navy, is entertaining the people at the bar with various tricks and joke as he served his wonderfull homebreweed beer. Some say even the Empress of Axyr herself enjoy his beer. Nobody here knows for real, but it is true that his beer his imported through out Mergovie and around the city of Axyr.

Around the bar Oculus can notice two large dwarf who probably act as buncer for the place. They are talking to customer and seems fairly relax, but always seems to keep their eyes on the crowd.

The bar is located at the left end corner of the rather square hall. Right besides it their is a large stages with three musician on it. They are all adjusting their instruments. Their is one elf women, dressed in a very colorfull outfits. One human and one half elf similarly dressed are with her. The place is fairly crowded as usual.

(OOC Due to Christmas holiday I will wait a bit for Oculus before I NPC him).

--------

Xavier falls asleep, nervous. What will the night bring him.

-------

The soldier, Karn, Dai and Solomon go to bed early hopping that early tomorrow morning they will be fresh and ready to go.

OOC I don't know if Jasper wants to do more study, wait for Oculus or go with him, or just go to bed early.
