Vengeance in Mornonas

[Manzanita]

Solomon

Solomon eyes the captive and the dead halfling. Are either the one who accosted him behind the temple on the previous day.

"I am still sorely wounded (4 hps, right?). Does anyone have any curative powers left?"

Jasper Conrad

Truly, Jasper is a great wizard! He far surpasses me in arcane power.

Oculus smiles at his old friend "I'm sorry I couldn't warn you about the rogues, I was too busy bleeding to death!" he chuckles. "Thank you for saving my life, old friend." And turning to Jraq, "And good work, my new friend"



Oculus studies the halfling for a moment [Sense Motive +2. If it looks like Jasper is also sensing motive, he will make this an Aid Another check, telling Jasper what he senses]. Oculus will whisper, hopefully out of hearing range, in the Celestial tongue "Jasper, could he be an enemy of our enemy? How about you question him out here in the sewers, and I'll question the captured guard inside, and we can compare notes?"

Jasper replies in celestial; "I will see what I can learn."

He spends a few moments gathering his thoughts and deciding what to say before speaking to the halfling again. "I am sorry about your brother. I'm sorry that anyone had to die for this ridiculous scheme of Uder's. But you should know why I'm here. These people you are working with, they murdered my parents a few days ago, along with many of my friends. They truly are ruthless cold-blooded killers, and we need to stop them before they kill more innocent civilians... so I want to know anything you can tell me about them. How long have they been here? Who are their leaders? Where are they now?"

OOC: When Jasper hears that his uncle's house is being attacked, he will forget all about asking questions and urge the group to leave immediately. But I'm assuming that hasn't happened yet.

Sense Motive +7

 

[DarkMaster]

The halfling continues to cry after Jasper allegation. He doesn't answer any questions, simply increasing the intensity of his lamentation when Jasper pronouces the work killer, kill, murder and so on.

OOC I already roll sense motive, but I will allow a second roll, since I assume you really try to focus on him now

Jasper now able to fully observes him. Is really under the impression that the little halfling is playing a game, trying to destabilise him. He obviously noticed how Jasper was uncomfortable with the death of the other halfling and now is trying to play on his sensibility.

OOC I will let Jasper act on this new information before he hears the news about the attack.

----

Solomon doesn't recognise any of the halfling.

 

[DarkMaster]

The soldier looks at Oculus and answers "His lieutnant are part of the raid, I doubt Mok-Mok is with them he never leaves the sewer during the day. I don't know the Master, I never saw him. He is the leader of the organisation and his underground castle is an old burried ruin of the old city around which the sewer of Mornonas was build.

OOC Knowledge history (roll 11+9)

Oculus remembers learning about the old elven city of Gr'rag. What the men says is true. When the human pushed back the elven resistance in the eastern province, in their madness they destroyed most of their city and rebuilded theirs on top of them, but that happen such a long time ago that there aren't any elves around still alive to tell the story. He also remembers one of his teacher showing them millenium old card protected in magical case displaying maps of the various old city. He also remembers hearing about sewer construction plan stored in the archive of the library.

OOC I will let Jasper act on this new information before he hears the news about the attack.

He's not.. acting right. If he was some innocent they hired, he'd want to tell me this information. Well, I'll let him sit until he's done with this crying nonsense and then see what explanation he can come up with. "Keep an eye on him." Jasper says to Jraq, before moving into the next room to see if his companions are having more luck.

 

[DarkMaster]

Jraq continues to threathen the tied halfling. Seeing that his little performance had no effect on the young wizard the halfling stops it as Jasper leaves the room. Jasper hears him say something to Jraq but can't quite understand what he said. (listen 13+1).

Jraq doesn't react and continue his watch.

As Jasper enters the room he hears about his uncle house being the target of a raid.

Jasper Conrad

"He's talking about Joe! We have to go right now. If anything happened to him.." Jasper trails off, but the urgency in his voice is still obvious.

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

Solomon sighs. "Yes. We owe Joe much. And his is only involved because of us." His gaze strays towards the doors leading deeper into the compound. "We must try to help him. And then we must return. There are innocent people captive here. We are too weak to continue now. I have a plan. But for now, let us make haste."

 

[silentspace]

Oculus is ready to go.

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon Kreel

"Let's head back the way we came in. And throw the bridge into the pit after we cross over. We'll then have to redon our disguises, unfortunately, to return to Joe's house. As for the prisoners...the pit?"
