Vengeance in Mornonas

[Manzanita]

Solomon

Solomon pays little attention to the exchanges with the guards. He is intent on his lookout, but too restless to stay put. He decides to try to circle the temple. He'll be on the lookout for other doors or windows where he might be able to look in, or even shoot through. He'll also try to stay out of sight of the old man.

 

[Kangaxx]

Jasper Conrad

Jasper will take a moment to try to spot the name of the ship. If he can't see one, he'll just try to note any distinguishing features so could recognize it again later or describe it. Then he continues tailing the councilor.

 

[Ferrix]

Dai will lean lightly on his staff, taking a moment to let his muscles relax. He just shakes his head at the old priest, letting Telic do the talking for now.

 

[DarkMaster]

--- In front of the temple

Telic just realised that the men he killed outside before they assaulted the temple has dissapeared.

"Sergeant, Don't be fool by this man, he has a really sharp tongue, ....

The sergeant looks at the old man then lowers his eyes on Telic and then Dai. He stays a while on Dai, observing him carefully. He then smiles a little and says "Soldiers, arrest these two mens on charges of disrupting the social peace" The priest eyes suddenly light and he adds. "I hope you will bring them to the "hotel", these two don't deserves better The sergeant replies back in a neutral tone "Of course"

---Around the temple

Solomon starts moving around the temple. He notices a small door provinding access on the east sides of it, probably a bit behind the altar. He also notices that he could enter the temple by accessing the upper portion. The upper part supports the top but instead of being surrounded by walls, beautifully carved arch are supporting it. Solomon also notices that behind the Altar room there is no sizeable building that could have hold so many orcs. Solomon still have to inspect the western wing of the temple.

--At the small dock.

Jasper can easily read the name of the boat "Vernita", Jasper recognises this name (Knowledge the plane (roll 7+8) It's the same as one of Neyrul demi-godess daugther.
Jasper then continue to follow Jraq. Jasper can now see the partly crumbled tower of the the old temple of Heireionous.

--- At the university

Solomon Kreel

Solomon will continue on around the temple. He then plans to tell Tellic and Dai about any entry points he's found. Instead, it looks like he'll probably find them arrested...

Telic Freeman, Human Male Traveller.

A wave of loathing sweeps over Telic as he listens to the sergeants smug smile. I should not have expected any more from petty bullies town bullies. But he bites back the scathing response that first springs to his tongue. Critisising him will only make him did his heels in deeper.

Telic bows slightly and hold out his hands.

"Of course," he responds quietly. "There is the law, and procedure to follow. I don't expect you to let bloody men walk the streets, or the site of a bloody fight go unchecked." Telic pauses for a moment.

"Mornonos is known for its rule of law and the order within its walls. I will show you anything you wish to see inside, answer any questions, and accept any truthsayer you wish to use. I'm not so sure that the priest will be so accommodating."

Telic wonders if he has misjudged the man. It doesn't really matter. If the man is nothing but a stooge for the cities elite, then there was nothing he could have done anyways. Telic wonders if he should have put on a scene - embarressed the guard into investigating the church. But something tells him that that wouldn't have been helpful. He hopes that he is right. But now all he can do is hope.

-- In front of the temple
The soldiers hesitate to execute the captains order, the younger one says "Shouldn't we investigate the church, sergeant?"

The sergeant pauses for a second and before he can reply.
I told you the man had a sharp tongue, Give me a minute, I will open the doors for you. He then points Telic and Dai and adds "You too will looks like fools when the proof are exposed. I don't understand why you want to dig your own hole." the old men then dissapears.

The sergeant pointing his swords towards Telic and Dai. "Nobody move until I say so, please put your weapons on the ground"

--- around the church

Solomon crossing a few streets to circle the temple notices that a young halfling seems to be following him. The halfling does it's best to hide among the crowd but Solomon noticed him. The halfling is dressed with very rough cloths almost like a beggar and he his carrying a staff. He seems to be using the staff to help him walk, his right leg do not seems to be strong enough.

OOC: Sorry, RL has been a bit of drag as of late...

Oculus and the professor return in the main library. You both starts to make research books in the book of research (OOC A magical database. You tell your key words and the blank pages fill in with the results of your search, It also provides the location of the nearest copy of known books.).

All of a sudden the professor says "We need to find the holy book, the one depicting all the rituals, it contains the key to Enirdnas secrets. Too bad this book was never repertoriated in the book of research, it's obviously not in this library. I hope Uder will go back to gather more information about ...

"Heeeerm... about what" Hl'lar adds, appearing in Oculus back almost from nowhere. How can Oculus have missed him. "The old Uder is still on something as I can see. Don't worry for me, I am here for the greatest treasure on heart.... he pauses looks in the air with a smile, then lowering back his head to look at Oculus with his eyes wide open "I am here for LOVE"

"For Love?" Oculus asks. Immediately his thoughts turn back to Valeria. She was so beautiful, and yet he had spent so little time with her. Where was she now? He would have to search her out again, and soon...

"Really?" Oculus asks. "Love is the best reason of all. But what do you mean you are here for love?"

* * *

After Hl'lar leaves, he'll ask the professor more about the holy book with the key to Enirdnas secrets. After hearing a bit more, he'll exclaim "Maybe I can help find the book for you! I have some friends who might be very interested in this! What do you think?"
* * *

Oculus makes a mental note of the students Hl'lar was talking to, and when there is a lull, Oculus will excuse himself from the professor to take a break, and chat a bit with the students, to see what they are doing for Hl'lar.

Telic Freeman, Human male traveller

Telic nods at the sword in the guard's hands, then lifts his arms to show them that he has no other weapons, not even a breadknife.

"The truth is powerful thing. I have no fear of it. But then I am not the one hiding behind locked doors. Although it pains me to think so, I fear that the priest does not feel the same way."

Telic looks around at the crowd, then back to the gurads. "I can not say for sure, but there may still be some here who saw the start of this whole sorry affair. The priest drew and swung his weapon as we stood at the door seeking entrance, and a man with a knife came at us from over there. Thats when the mayhem started. When two men with crossbows shot at us from up there, we had little choice but to seek refuge inside, such that it was as it turns out."

Solomon Kreel

Solomon stares breifly behind him, then turns back to his task at hand, hoping the halfling will not know he has been observed. Solomon will pick up his pace. He has already found a means of ingress, and now circles just for his own knowledge's sake. He wants to get back to the others before acting. If he sees them in trouble, he will try to stay hidden, but try to keep his back to a wall, and take frequent glances back, so as not to be taken from behind by the halfling.
