World of Warcraft - Against the Razormanes... Pt. 1

[Evil Ujio]

Groog and any that accompany him

Gulab’s shop is just a short jaunt away. The exterior has shelves with general goods available for purchase or barter; his eldest son sits in a chair and watches with narrowed eyes as Groog approaches, “Eh keep yer hands off the goods you mangy goblin! Father, that goblin is back!”

Gulab appears in the entryway almost immediately with an unctuous tusked smile; his gray-green skin is wrinkled in places and he wears loose fitting pants with boar-skin boots a black shirt and a straw hat. Gulab leans in the doorway and puts a piece of straw between his yellowed teeth as he speaks, “Welcome Master Groog, so you came back to apologize, or are you here to try and broker another poorly thought out deal?”

Garrak

Mirlus waits for the others to leave before he speaks, “I wish to speak of what you felt when you went to save the boy, if you believe these Razormanes to be dealing with the dark magics they may have been corrupted by the Shadow Council, or their agents. What do you know of the Shadow Council, Garrek?”

With his knowledge in religion, Garrak knows that the Shadow Council is a group dedicated to summoning demons and giving themselves over to dark powers. But beyond that most of what he knows is just rumor and legends, nothing concrete.

"Hmm, when we arrived at the Razormane camp, the place was permeated with fear, stunk of it. There was something else too, I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I could feel it," Garrak replies, "The Shadow Council though, I've never had any experience with them. All I know is that they summon demons and dabble in dark arts the rest of us have left behind."

All I know is that they summon demons and dabble in dark arts the rest of us have left behind."

“What you felt was the corruption made manifest in the air, the earth, the water, and the very soul of the place. Corrupted through foul magic,” the healer replies.

Mirlus sighs, “The Shadow Council worked with the Burning Legion back when our people dwelled on our home world of Draenor, created under the masterful yet cruel schemes of Gul’dan. It was the Shadow Council that began the original Horde; it was they that would have had us prostrate before Demon Masters; but their evil was broken and the Shadow Council was supposedly shattered… but perhaps evil, true evil is much harder to stamp out then most would like to believe.”

Mirlus takes a drink of the cactus firewine and walks outside looking at the village, waiting for Garrak to follow, “It is this ancient evil, which I believe we may be facing. If this is so, then the spirits give us favor for we will need their aid.”

He walks towards his squat home on the outskirts of the village facing the sea, “What you will see, and what you will learn may scare you; but the spirits are strong with you brother. You will persevere and you will be stronger for it.”

Groog Profit, Tinker Genius.

"Hoo, Hoo ! You will starve Your children, if You would talk like that to Your best customer. Did You have goodies that I insisted on ? And I will buy You ale as an apology ... I'm in generous mood today. What interesting You have ?"

Groog grinned to the fat goblin, and let the merchant to see bulging gold sack on his belt.

Decided to make Gulab an orc, since the village is mostly orc to begin with a goblin would be a rarity in these parts unless it was a traveling merchant… but he is a business savvy orc…

Gulab eyes the jingling purses of the party with a broader smile. He smacks his son on the head, “Get on yer feet boy, and fetch these customers some water,” he shakes his head, “children can be so rude at times, as I was saying, please come in, I am sure I have something on hand that may be interesting to your purses… and sensibilities.”

“Now please tell me what you need,” as he walks in side holding the door to his shop open, “I have odd trinkets from Ratchet, fine weapons from Ogrimmar, even a few more eccentric trinkets from across the sea. Or do you need something more mundane, did I mention that I would discount your purchases, being heroes and all…” his grin broadening, as he chews on the straw and pats his belly anxiously.

The boy returns with mugs of water for the ‘heroes’, a forced smile on his lips.

Talos lowers down to groogs hear and whispers "I could use some Rune master gear, wands, scolls or potions. Also, I might be able to get certain usally unatainable things that you surface dwellers can't get from the ocean, things to deep to fish for."


OOC: GM, I was wondering if I can go duting this time and try to find something like pearls, rare materials under the sea to sell to these guys to get some extra money.
Also, does anyone actual know in this game that Rune casting is the Arcane Magic, but it is used by the tauron so I assumed it was ok.

That sounds fine to me, he can go pearl diving if he chooses. Rune Magic is considered Arcane Magic and is such subjected to Arcane Corruption Rules, which I will be using from Magic and Mayhem… hope that answers your questions.

Gulab looks at the naga quizzically with an inherent look of fear in his eyes which is replaced by opportunity when he hears Talos speak, “You may be in luck my… friend; I received some magical potions in a shipment of varying capabilities. What you seek I may be able to provide, perhaps we can come to a deal?”

Groog Profit, Tinker Genius.

"Ratchet stuff You say ? Chmm ... as an expert, I'm sure You choosed the best ggodies they had. I'm looking for guns and grenades. As usual, but mostly after the grenades ... I won't mind old types, I can rebuild them."

Groog grinned to fat orc, still wondering from where he ... the orc, grow so goblinlike. It was slightly disturbing.

"And I will give You a tip, prepare for siege and send a warning to co-guilders. Razormanes might fell on us anytime."

He turned to Talos and smiled slightly. And thanked the kid for water.

"Yo ! Pearlhunting ... You know how to make profit my friend."

OOC: This is only reasonable, DM, for Gulab being and goblin-minded orc. Groog is looking for cheap grenades first, with little regard to safety. He can have not enough time to do them by himself. Razormanes might attack at every moment.

He walks towards his squat home on the outskirts of the village facing the sea, “What you will see, and what you will learn may scare you; but the spirits are strong with you brother. You will persevere and you will be stronger for it.”

"Indeed I shall," Garrak agrees as he follows, "It is important to know one's enemies, and now that the Council has reared its ugly head nearby it would be in my interest to become familiar with how they operate. As alien and evil as they would be, to not know them would be folly."

“Exactly,” Mirlus says as he enters his home, “knowledge is our most devastating weapon, but it could also jeopardize our souls; you must understand that we travel a dangerous road. Even your naga companion with his rune magic skirts closely to corruption; but knowledge is our weapon.”

Mirlus takes a seat with a heavy sigh, “My days of glory and action have passed, but you Garrak, you have the spark of youth; the spirits hold you in high regard; perhaps where others have failed you can succeed.”

His years weigh on him as he closes his eyes, “You will need training, but that is something that I can provide you, but I will nee your trust brother,” he finishes waiting for a reply.

Back at Gulab’s Shop

“Guns? Grenades… well you may just be in luck Groog, I had the pleasure of meeting a merchant who was in dire straights and unloading many of his goods at cost, and I have what he called a flintlock pistol and a blunderbuss on hand with ample ammunition; you must understand, such items are difficult to come by in these parts and I assure you, short of traveling to Ratchet or Thunderbluff you will not find a larger selection of firearms!” Gulab explains.

Gulab looks around his shop, “Oh you are in luck I have three bomb grenades whose previous owner no longer has any need for, these I could let go for a modest fee of fifty gold coins per grenade, a steal in these parts; I assure you!”

The fat orc grumbles at the mention of conflict, “Oh I assure you, I am well prepared for battle, and my purse is as well; with conflict and bloodshed comes profit,” he announces, “not that I espouse violence, I find it loathsome,” finishing with a well tempered grin.
