Vengeance in Mornonas

OOC Doghead, I provided the answers you were looking for in a previous thread.
----
Jath's horse slowly trot out of the city, down the King road. He makes it without problem through the gate. The soldiers were very busy verfying an incoming caravan and didn't really paid attention to him. He slowly go down the steep hill and passes through the wooden outside fortification. He then passes in front of the traveller's night camp with the large Inn. He then quickly hit the road and dissapears in the surrounding forest....

------

Jasper shouts at Solomon. "Solomon don't touch the door I strongly suspects it's magically trapped. From the aura I get it seems to be fairly powerfull magic.

"Let's just go. Joe is still alive, I think, and will be back. Let's seal up this room and leave."

"Yes, we shouldn't damage what's left of his house." Jasper will give the room a final once over before heading back out into Mornomas. He'll also attempt to reseal the door once everyone is out.
 

Jasper carefully looks around one final time but doesn't find anything new. The group head outside. Jraq, Trolm are patrolling around but didn't find anything suspicious other than what Solomon and Dai found earlier. The wizards and the firefighters are cleaning up the area. The wizards is searching for clues among the debris.

Jasper easily reseal the door. He simply close it and a magical mechanism automatically lock the access.

The wizard approaches Jasper and tells him that he will do his best to figure out what happened to his uncle. He quickly gives him his address inside the campus. He tells him to pass by whenever if he wants more information on what happened. The two men shake hand and the group leaves for the hotel.

The group quickly head for the hotel without anything special happening. As they enter the dark skinned elf still reading in the dark barely looks at them before returning to his reading.

The old men nods as Xavier asks his questions. "Nothing particularly flashy happened since the imposter is in place. But a lot has changed, subtile changes but changes nevertheless. I would say that violent crime have diminished. In the past robery in the various area were fairly common, nowaday it has become extremely rare. And usually when it occurs a few days later you find one or more bodies lying on the street or in some more unusual places.

Violence between various minor drug dealer has almost completly dissapear, no more people blasted in the street by an unknown person with a wand of lightning bolt or worse fireball.

But the amount of drug circulating on the street have dramatically increase. Prices have gone down and now almost anybody can afford a scratch of the yellow powder. More and more people are getting addicted and nobody seems to care. I tried to tell the authority but they seems to close their eyes on what is happening there.

Mornonas is the last major city before the northern forest and marsh. As you know this region was never completly under our control and most attempts to colonise further north all ended up in miserable failure. The Baron probably doesn't help but even the best of his predecessor were unable to secure the area.

The city is ruled by the Baron Vilral, who doesn't care about anything else than his own image and prestige. He doesn't care about the people, but he doesn't want to be noticed negatively by the king so he does the minimum to stay within the country's norm.

The more I talk to you the more I feel confident that you could continue where I failed young men.

The grand wizard who lives in the University tower, be very carefull of this men. He is extremely powerfull and through magic knows almost everything happening within the city walls. I don't know exactly how, but he always knows. But he never intervene in anything, unless it is directly related to the university.

One thing for sure the men I saw yesterday ordering the execution of two citizens wasn't my good old friend Jriok.


As he says that, Xavier notices great pain in the powerfull eyes of the elderly men sitting in front of him.

"With all the talking I forgot to ask you if you would like to eat something."

Xavier almost misses the mans offer in his surprise.

"I have not eaten all day, so a little food would be welcome.

"But first, if you would, what do you mean by 'execution'. The others I have spoken mentioned an affray, and that some men died, including two strangers. But they always seemed a little ... vague on this point. Most seemed to believe that the men had been killed in a fight after assaulting the temple or the guard, but none could really recall seeing it happen."
 

Solomon Kreel

Solomon makes sure all the doors and windows are locked as well as possible before retiring for the night. For good measure, he leans chairs &/or tables against the doors.

"Again we are injured, else we could have continued the fight today. I will try to aid whomever is injured tonight."

OOC: Solomon will attempt long term care on the injured party members, including himself (Heal +8; DC 15)

"Tommorrow we will take the fight to them again. Despite the risks, I must try again to penetrate their sanctuary underneath the temple. Perhaps we could take a different approach, through a nearby sewer tunnel. Or try to track the arsonists by Joe's house."
 

Jasper Conrad

"Tomorrow I would also like to look for my old professor that studied Erkanas again. If something untoward has happened to him as well... I can only take comfort from the fact that I hardly have any friends and family left for our enemies to strike." Jasper glances at Oculus as he speaks, then grows quiet for moment as he remembers all those who used to be close to him, but are now dead or missing. "Solomon, I'm beginning to understand why you were so eager to attack them. Soon I will have nothing left but revenge." He prepares for bed with a haunted look in his eyes.
 

[sblock]Jath will continue riding as long as he can into the evening before making camp for the night. I posted it this way, as I didn't know how to make a flavor text to say it...:)[/sblock]
 

Solomon Kreel

Solomon sighs and settles painfully into a chain in front of the door. It has been another long painful day. The second in a row and Solomon is tired. He nods thoughfully at Jasper's comments.

"We have lost many; it is true. But at least we are not alone. Joe still lives, I believe, Jasper. As does Karn, I suspect. Both should be able to take care of themselves as long as they stay low. There is another who is constantly in my thoughts, though I haven't mentioned her. This is my friend Jessica. Old Frendor Almat's daughter. Evidently she is still captive under the temple."

Solomon pauses and bows his head. Then raises his eyes to ther others'.

"She is more to me than a friend, actually. I would take her to be mine and leave this accursed city. She feels the same way about me, I believe. After all the deaths, her father can no longer stand in the way. Everything has changed, except for how I feel about her. That is why I must go back. Even more than vengence, I must attempt to save her from those demons. I can't ask you to come with me if you have other ideas. But I will return tomorrow. For her."

OOC: Does anyone have more healing spells left before night?
