Vengeance in Mornonas

Dai sighs, "'n it seems we're going t'be wanted soon 'nuff." Implying the dressed up militian, "'haps we should be follow'n 'em to make sure they don't be up to no good wit' the corpses."

"The Temple has been taken over by orcs and Gror's forces. I think they've opened some sort of gate and plan to sack the city. One more city to slaughter. There are way too many of them for us to fight. There is another door in the back of the Temple. We could try to see if we can spy on them from there. Has anyone seen the counselor or Frendor or his daughter?"

"Whoa, slow down. Who is Gror? What kind of gate? Are they extraplanar orcs? and why would you want to go in there if there's so many of them?" Jasper glances back at the group of militiamen. "And what happened to those city watchmen?"

Solomon Kreel

Solomon shakes his head at Dai's suggestion. "They were the uniform. Fighting them would only bring us more trouble. Gror is a militiaman from Pruman. One of the ringleaders of the masacre. We went inside to check it out. We were attacked. Orcs entered the temple, I know not how. I assume some sort of a magical gate, but perhaps through a tunnel. The watchmen were killed by the orcs after investigating the temple."

 

[Ferrix]

Dai glowers at Solomon, "I didn't suggest that we attack 'em, merely follow 'n watch."

Jraq and I followed the counselor here. He was heading to the temple, but when he saw the crowd he went into the sewers. If they connect in the sewers, orcs could be getting in through there too. But we need to deal with those militiamen first. Uncovering the counselor's plot won't be worth much if you're wanted for murder. Hmm... a speak with dead spell could clear things up quickly. Jasper looks at the militiamen again. Even detect evil would probably be sufficient. He pauses in thought for a moment. But they could clear out the temple while we're busy. Maybe.. maybe we should split up again. Jasper cringes internally even as he says it.

I wish Oculus was here. He'd be able to come up with a good plan.

Telic Freeman, Battered and Bruised Human Male

Telic holds his ground by the front of the church, resisting any entreaties to leave. There have been too many failures here today. Behind thoise doors lies his own personal hell, and hope of salvation. He doesn't press anyone else to stay, but he will beg a weapon from anyone who has a spare - even if its just a dagger.

After checking the doors to make sure that there is no way to open them, he returns his attention to the crowd. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he talks to them about the importance of standing firm in the face of evil, of the strength of the many if they stand together. He speaks of his own life. He speaks stories of people he has met and the ways they have demonstrated strength. He speaks quietly and firmly. He's not sure if he is speaking for himself or for the crowd.

When the militians emerge from the church, Telic turns to face them.

ooc: I asssume that the call for the town guard has gone out. Any idea on how long they usually take?

 

[DarkMaster]

OOC Doghead if you a bit higher in the thread you will notice that four Prumen militian came out with the bodies of the soldiers shouting that they've been attacked by three evil warrior. (that would be Telic, Solomon and Dai)

Also notice that the crowd is panicking and is not really paying attention, only caring about saving their own life.

 

[Manzanita]

Solomon

Solomon sighs. "I would follow the counselor. Can you show me where he entered the sewers? If you have plan for dealing with those militiamen, let us know. I am a warrior and scout. That would call for a diplomat, I think."

He listens briefly to Tellic, but sees the crowd is unlikely to be receptive. He pulls out a dagger and hands it to the warrior, sadly. "Tellic, come away from that door. They are many, powerful and ruthless. We will fiht another day, you and I. And it will be different then. I want to enter the sewers and pursue the counselor. You may come if you choose. You have saved my life today. You have done well."

-- At the university

Hl'lar smiles at Oculus reaction. "I just met the most beautiful human women of my entire life, last week in this university, we talk for about a minute but that was enough for her to steal my hearth. I 've been looking for her for the past few days without success. She is beautiful and wearing tatoo all over her face and maybe her body too but I didn't had the previlege to confirm He winks at Oculus "If you know what I mean". He then lowers his head. "Obviously she is not around anymore and I don't know where I can start my search

The old professor replies "Women with tatoo all over their body?

She then whispers to Oculus "What a strange coincidence"

Hl'lar eyes lit and he add "You know her?"

"No, No .... but Heee ..." She might be a good professor but she is really a poor liar.

OOC Obviously she never saw a living sorceress but she is thinking about some pictures and text on the book she researched. I will wait for your reply SilentSpace before I continue with you other actions. Don't worry if you can't post as often, as long as you let me know.

Hl'lar has been smitten by one of these witches. Just like me. Or... could it be the same witch? Could it be Valeria?

Oculus listens and observes the exchange between Hl'lar and the professor silently. It's also interesting that the professor is hiding her knowledge of the witches from Hl'lar. There is some sort of competition between them. Is it a friendly academic competition or a something more sinister?

But what was a witch doing here, at the university? Valeria, as enchanting as she was, didn't seem the intellectual type...

"Hl'lar, you said you met this tattooed woman here, at the University? What was she doing? And what did you speak about?"
