At Brie’s, Loni looks deeply into Accalon’s eyes and says “Absolutely nothing is bothering me. Now that you’re safe.” She kisses the warrior again, and adds her hand over Beatrice’s, helping to clean him. Accalon still senses that she’s just a little less relaxed than she has been in his arms before, but it’s clear to him she either won’t talk about it, or doesn’t even realize it. Bea says “What they’re saying about Modrin? Well, I did hear the girls mention that he seems so honest. And incorruptible.” Her face gets serious for moment, and she says “One even said, if someone were to take down Brie, it might be him. I hope for her sake, that doesn’t get back to Brie.”

T’aria says goodbye and, after asking a few locals and avoiding a few guards, soon finds the largest alchemist shop in the city, with a sign that says “Elixander’s Elixirs”. The place must be well stocked given it’s large size, and given that one of it’s patrons, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline, is walking out with a large box in his arms, presumably filled with things just bought there. Entering the shop, T’aria finds the place meticulously ordered. Even, orderly tables on which are neat rows of various flasks, each labeled clearly, some with obvious benefits, such as Light Wound Curative and Skin of Iron Balm. But others labels include “Beholder Spittle”, “Half-elf Blood”, and even “Draconic Nasal Discharge”. Before she can look around any further, a loud voice says “Wipe you feet!” A tall male elf appears from behind a counter, as he says “If you track any filth in here, I’ll make a couple dozen components from your hide… after I clean it, of course.” Then he puts on a broad smile that looks entirely fake, and says “How can I help you?”
[OOC Yes, the man with the receding hairline who left is Boone, taking stuff to Aligor. It’s acceptable to ride horses around town. Not many do, as the poor can’t afford a horse, and the rich generally use rented carriages. But some prosperous people have their own horse and use it to get around town. So, it depends how T’aria wants to look. Riding means prosperous, not riding means your probably some lackey taking someone else’s horse somewhere.]
At Boone’s the next morning, Aligor moves to the door and unlocks it. He tries to be stealthy about it, but the loud clicking lock just won’t cooperate. Sunedilar swings his chain at the blond man, but goes a bit over his head. Lydia calls upon her dark god, and for the briefest moment Hectaras stops moving, but then he shakes off the paralysis of her spell. He curses, knowing he’s dealing with a warrior, a spellcaster, and potentially whoever is in Boone’s shop, plus the effect of this damned spell. He brings his fingers to his lips, making a loud, distinctive whistling sound. Then he runs around the side of Boone’s shop, drawing his short sword as he does, and just narrowly avoid Sunedilar’s still swirling chain. Azallin takes this all in, and realizes his efforts would work better away from the man with the swirling chain, so he backs further down and across the street. Then he gestures, and 3 bolts of magic energy shoot from his fingertips, flying unerringly into Lydia.
[OOC I would have allowed the unlocking and opening of the door to be in the same move-equivalent action, if Aligor had wanted. Instead, Aligor rolled Move Silently 4+2=6 vs Hex’s good Listen check. Drinking two cure light wounds potions recovered 9 HPs for Aligor. Sunedilar rolls 4+8=AC 12, missed his flatfooted AC. We’re using 3.5 rules on Hold Person, so Hex’ll get a save each round for 3 rounds, succeeded this round. Sunedilar got an Attack of Opportunity when Hex ran, rolled 9+8=AC 17, missed. Lydia takes 10 points of damage from 3 magic missiles.]
Meanwhile, a few blocks away, Accalon and T’aria are heading to Boone’s to find out where to meet Aligor this morning. They hear the odd whistling sound Hex produced, then far ahead, over 100 feet, they see a man dressed in loose black clothing cast 3 magical missiles at some target out of their sight, behind a building.
[I’m assuming, of course, that Accalon and T’aria would come together, which can be roleplayed, if desired, in their ongoing “flashback” during the previous day. Would they come mounted, or on foot? Don’t know if Accalon has a horse or not, or if it was at Brie’s.
I don’t want to make a new map already, so character’s new postions: Aligor-P8, Bane-Q8, Azallin- E3, Hectaras-T6. Accalon and T’aria are 100 feet “north” of position A4, on the road.
Characters by initiative, damage:
Aligor, HPs:27/37
Bane, unhurt
T’aria, unhurt (probably; she’s at HPs: 5/13 with no healing)
Sundilar, unhurt
Lydia, HPs:10/20
Hectaras, unhurt
Azallin, unhurt
Accalon, HPs:29/32]
