Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, IC01

"Ah, so it appears the old addage about the free lunch was right, or was it let the buyer beware? Anyways there's a saying and I'm sure you have it in this part of the country..." Xavier says to the barkeep.

Turning to the others he asks "So, what is the plan now? I'd like to know your thoughts on dealing with the hobgoblins or the basement"

"Now normally, being a homey sort and all, I'd say we need to help this gentleman out with his house. But if some of the rumors we've heard - and spoken with Wizard Crus about - are correct, I think we'd best wait to look into the basement until we've had a chance to really prepare for it. The hobgoblin situation, now, seems just the thing for us to get into a little trouble with. Liven up our journey, if you know what I mean."

"I believe the basement problem may be the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. We should probably wait on that one. I say we go to Lord Kyle and tell him of our intention to help with the Hobgoblins. We should get all the information we can about it like the Keep's location, layout, numbers, etc. Crus seemed to think it was a good idea." Kerlan looks around at the others for comments on his suggestion.
[SBLOCK=DM Only]OOC: I may be way off here but I'm guessing that the door is a hidden entrance to the Underdark. I doubt you'll tell me though. :p [/SBLOCK]
 

Boris Stenker

Boris looks flustered and says, "No free lunch! Why, Sir Wizard, I meant no offense when I gave you your meals at a reduced rate! I certainly wasn't trying to cajole you into helping me! If you feel that you've been treated unfairly by Boris Stenker, then I will make it right."

"No my good sir, I was referring to the great deal you received when purchasing this tavern. If the sellor was offering a great deal then there must be a catch, and now it appears you've found it. Your meals are delicious and I've had nothing but the fairest and most upstanding treatment from yourself, Boris" Xavier replies

Sorry for the colour changes. I obvious am struggling to keep my text in line and keep stealing Manny's text colour.

Boris Stenker

"Really?" Boris sniffles and wipes a tear away. "Well, okay, then, I thank you for saying that, Sir Wizard. We always aim to keep our customers happy here at the Lonesome Drake."
 

Capizzio has been completely quiet during the whole day, not inattentive mind you, just not talking either ... until now.

"in my *ahem* humble opinion, I would have to say that whatever is in your basement has stayed there and will remain there as long as none disturb it, them or, whatever. Therefor I would like to say that the inn will have no decrease in reputation.

However, the lord of the land has a problem with hobgoblins and they do not stay put undisturbed or disturbed and are more then likely raiding the countryside and bringing harm to all who are about. That i am afraid I find intollerable."

Though Capizzio's voice is not much louder then a whisper, his face is flushed with growing anger. An obvious chord has been struck with the Hobgoblin prescense.

"When I lived on the streets and a bully came in the neighborhood, I hated it. I wanted to do something about it! Well now I can."

The young wizzard's clenched fists pound on the table top to puchuate every word of the last sentance. He takes a moment to recompose himself and breaths a shuddering sigh before continueing, " Master Boris, you know where to find us if things change. There are bullies on the block and they need a good boot in the butt!"

He sits down, spent by his rare display of dark emotion. reguradless of the drain, he sits with his arms crossed and stares at an indistinct point somewhere infront of him.

"I have spoken of what i find to be of importantem grandem."
 

Boris Stenker

Boris looks somewhat taken aback by Capizzio's nearly silent, calm, but intense words, and says, "Yes, Wizard Capizzio, you are absoutely correct. I have waited this long to have this mysterious door investigated, and I can wait awhile more yet. I'm sure that I cannot even begin to fathom all of the difficult, arcane tasks that face such a group of wise wizards. Please, just get around to investigating my situation when it is convenient for you, Sir."
 

Capizzio suddenly appears appologetic at boris' reation.

"Master Boris, convenience or inconvenience is not the issue here, i am afraid. it is people. they are the issue. No ill has apperaeed at that door, as yet. I am not saying that there may or may not be something there. My professional curiosity is overwhelmiingly desiring to search that passage beyond. But the value of life is a priority. it is paramont."

Thought this speach is delivered tiredly, it is not without passion.
 

Boris smiles good naturedly and pours Capizzio more ale. ;)

[sblock=got it]dowloaded Paizo's Pathfinder. Looks kinda ok, but maybe a little bit too generous to the characters? I reserve final judgment on that until I read more of the system, learn combat, etc.[/sblock]
