Wrath of the Righteous

[section]

Medjai's brow plates lower as he shoots the caustic merchant a reproving look. "Be at ease, my lady. Horgus is a good man, but takes some getting used to . . . His wit is needle sharp."

"Wit," comes Shayuri's reply as she pulls the sack open and peers inside. She makes the word sound like a curse. "A sharp wit implies cleverness. Cutting mockery. Barbed quips. Pointed japes and gibes."

She looks up.

"I would call what I heard blunt. Like a club. Humor used to conceal true feelings that would otherwise be...unpopular."

Her expression softens a little. "I apologize if I seem ungrateful. My uncle always said I was proud enough for three people." The dark-skinned woman reaches up to rub her eyes. "I...can't bring myself to beg, but...I'm sure I would be of use to your company if you let me come with you. I know some magic."
 

Calloh, half-elf bard 1

"Shayuri, my friend Medjai has said all that needs to be said, I think, but I would know no comfort unless I also welcomed you to our ... our little 'family,' or whatever it is, and stated without equivocation that Horgus is not a spokesman for us all. In fact, I would go so far as to recommend that you pay him no more heed than you must." Calloh shoots Horgus a sideways glance, fairly daring him to make a defense.

Traits: 1. Riftwarden [Campaign Trait] 2. Courageous 3. Anatomist

History: Calloh was born to two adventurers, his mother was an elf champion and his father a human wizard. They were both Riftwardens who adventured into the Worldwound on a secret mission soon after Calloh was born. They left their newborn son with trusted allies, perhaps knowing that their odds of returning were slim. In any case, they met their doom in the Worldwound. Not long after their departure, the foster parents that they had chosen for their son noticed that a mark had appeared on the inside of Calloh's right leg – The Sign of the Seeker's Spiral. [Riftwarden Orphan Trait bonus of +2 on Concentration checks.] The mysterious circumstances of his parents' disappearance sparked an insatiable curiosity in Calloh. When he grew up, he was so intent on making new discoveries and learning new things that he almost seemed fearless when it came to new places, experiences, people, and creatures. [Couageous Trait bonus of +2 on Saves vs. Fear Effects.] Now that Calloh has fully come of age, he seeks to learn the destiny of his parents, hoping against hope that he may somehow find them alive and be able to bring them home safely. For his last trait, Calloh chooses Anatomist, which gives him +1 on rolls to confirm critical hits.

FYI -- Calloh is advancing as a Bard with an eye toward gaining levels in a PrC later. Arcane Archer and Eldritch Knight are his PrCs of interest at this time. Arcane Archer requires him to have a BAB of +6, which he would either obtain by being Bard3 Fighter4 -- CL7, or Bard2 Fighter5 also CL7. Eldritch Knight requires at least one level of fighter and 7th level in bard, so CL8. Or, Eldritch Knight could be pursued by adding a third class, sorcerer to the mix, making Bard2 Fighter1 Sorcerer5, which is also CL8. If he shaved the bard level off he could do that at CL7 as well, but when the third class enters the mix, Calloh will face some XP penalties that will probably make it cost-prohibitive. Realistically, then, we're looking at Arcane Archer at CL7, Bard4 Fighter3. Let's hope that this game continues in good health for a few more years, then!

Horgus snorts, "Whatever. Just remember which one of us has the drawstrings to the purse. If you live long enough to get me to my estate, you'll get 1000 gold, each. That goes for you too, Miss Shauryi. I have no intention of dying down here if I can avoid it."

"Enough with you posturing Horgus," Jorgun replies, quickly reaching the end of his tolerance with the man. "We all need to work together to reach the surface regardless of whatever carrots you try and dangle in front of our faces. If you wish tto make it to the surface alive you should perhaps learn to watch your tounge when it comes to your allies."

Jorgun turns to the young Qadiran. "Heed my comrades' advice and join us as we travel to the surface. Given what we've seen down in these catacombs venturing off alone would be a death sentence."

Shayuri closes the bag again, and hefts it up as she rises to her feet.

She gives Calloh and Jorgun a grateful nod. "Then I will, and am doubly indebted. It would be a fine joke indeed if I met my end now, like this."

Her voice took a bitter twist on her last sentence, but only for that moment.

"Are we ready to go then? I've seen enough of this particular cave to last any number of lifetimes."

"Just one moment," Jorgun says, staring at the body of the dwarf. "A thought just occured to me regarding this dwarf." Jorgun moves over toward the dead body, leaning down to investigate it. "I have to wonder if this dwarf originally came from our mysterious sanctuary..."
[sblock=Actions] Check the body for religiious iconography:
Perception: 1D20+6 = [19]+6 = 25

Identify any said iconography:
Knowledge (Religion): 1D20+5 = [13]+5 = 18

Calloh, half-elf bard 1

Calloh will attempt to aid Jorgun with his task of identifying any religious iconography that he finds on the dwarf.

OOC: Invisible castle gives me the message that the domain name for IC has expired, so no dice are available to roll there at this precise moment. However, I have located another online service at http://www.roll-dice-online.com/ which I am going to use for this aid another check and I got this result:


Number of sides:
Number of dice to roll:
Number of rolls:


Result

15 (Avg: 15,0)

(Total avg: 15,0)

Since Calloh has a +3 with all untrained knowledge skills, that result is actually an 18, which should provide a bonus to Jorgun.

Jorgun finds many things on the Dwarf's rapidly dying body. There are two potions and scrolls each, a hefty looking book, a dagger, a light crossbow, 10 bolts to go with it, seven platinum pieces, twenty seven gold coins and the spellcaster's dirty but ornate cloak. Finally, though, he finds what he is looking for. In amongst the coins is a small iron trinket, unpainted or adorned.

Screen Shot 2013-12-01 at 9.36.43 AM.png

While the little charm look enough, Jorgun and Calloh recognize it for what it is; the Abyssal symbol of Sifkesh, the Demoness of Madness and Suicide.
