Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC01

Fumbling in a pouch, Tylara tosses out some walnut shells and an apple core from a snack aboard the barge, before locating a somewhat battered ticket. "Sorry, there's a little Ogre blood on one corner, but I think it is still legible," she notes passing it over.

"No, no, no, no, no!" :eek: says the apoplectic clerk. "Just give it to the Captain/Purser when you board the vessel! She makes a disgusted face and begins to brush away Tylara's garbage from her desk.

The clerk duly notes in the passenger manifest that all of you will be returning to Pembrose tomorrow.

OOC: Now what? want to advance to the next wandering monster encouner your arrival in Pembrose?
 


Pembrose

Very well: After an uneventful boat ride, downstream this time, you arrive in Pembrose on Saturday evening, June 2,2112 Y.M. and make straight for The Lonesome Drake Inn and Brewery. Boris and Irma Stenker greet you as old friends. "Ahh, my good friends the wizards return from Twain! Shall I put you back in the same rooms as before?" Not waiting for an answer, he does so. The rooms at the Lonesom Drake are as quiet and comfortable as you remember, and after a fine meal cooked by Irma, and entertainment by Elwynn the bard, you retire for the night. When next you post, it will be Sunday morning, June 3, 2112.
 

Boris says, "But, if you find yourselves staying in Quail Valley for awhile, and you have time to help a poor ol' innkeeper like me, maybe you could swing back by and take a look at something for me."
During breakfast Kerlan asks Boris about the "problem" he spoke to us about before leaving.

Capizzio eventuall just sat and listened to conversation around him, wowed at the arcutectural features of the tower (wondering if there were any secret passages about), tailed along with the crew and produced a ticket from somewhere within the folds of his clothing and remained pretty quiet during the trip to pembrose, keeping his mind busy with taking a guard post on the barge. upon his return to pemborse he was fighting off the creeping edge of bordom as he watched children in the streets. at breakfast he was getting restless until Kerlan asks boris of the 'problem' previously spoken of. he listens intently to what boris has to say.
 

OOC: Last time you were in Pembrose, I was trying to steer you away from Boris's "problem" until you got a bit of experience under your belts. If you're sure that's what you want to do now, though, I'll sure let you. You have been warned. Let the chips fall where they may.


Boris says, "Oh, I'm so glad that you didn't forget about me! I've ah, got this situation down in my basement that I really wish you'd take a look at for me. There's a door down there, and I can't imagine what it leads to! When I bought the place it was all barricaded up and everything. I haven't disturbed it, mind you, but it's always bothered me not knowing what was behind it."

"Barricaded? Hmmm. That implies some sort of danger was associated with the door. Either something tragic happened in the room behind that door, or ....." Kerlan's sentence trails off. He appears to be pondering the possibilities. "I'm not sure, but if I'm right then I don't believe we are prepard right now to investigate. I believe that you may want to put the barricade back up, just in case. Do you happen to know anything unusual about any of the previous owners?"
 

Boris Stenker

"Oh, bless me! I haven't gone NEAR the barricade!" Boris crosses himself and shakes violently. "And I don't know about anything that may have happened with the previous owners. Although, I will say that the man that I bought the place from seemed awfully anxious to be rid of it! I just thought it was my good fortune, though."
