(YBA) Kalath in Wicht's Tomb Again

[Wicht]

"There is in the city of the bard a man by the name of Glengary who has been a nuisance to me of late but I do not wish to be seen as taking action against him directly. If you were to remove him from the picture I would have Dizzy let you down to see the Master. Provided of course that my name was never brought up in connection with the matter."

 

[graydoom]

"Glengary, eh. I'm willing. But I'd like some information first. Who is Glengary... what positions or responsibilities does he hold, who are his friends or allies, and who are his enemies? And most importantly, how shall I know him when I see him?"

"And where is the city of the bard?"

 

[Wicht]

"The city of the bard is located above the fires of hell and below the caves of the goblins and orcs. It can be reached through a crypt on the "path of tears," and is ruled by a bard.

"Glengary is a man in charge of an inn called 'The Whistling Dragon' and for reasons I need not share with you I wish him gone. Anyone in the city can direct you to the inn and once there you can work out for yourself how to deal with the miscreant. Bring me back the necklace he wears around his neck and I will let you down to see the master."

 

[graydoom]

"I know the crypt you speak of on the path of tears... it is the one that speaks of Rotting Rottger, is it not? How far below that crypt is the city of bards?"

 

[Wicht]

"The stairs lead down quite a ways and at the bottom of the stairs is a door leading into the city. The password for the door changes periodically, but at the moment it is 'decomposing.' And if you travel within the city be careful not to call it the city of bards it is the city of the bard and Rottger takes poorly to others plying their trade within its borders.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath nods.

"To the city of the bard, then. Don't be surprised if it takes me a while to get this done."

Kalath exits the tomb.

ooc: Is it possible to wait a day, and then continue on?

 

[Wicht]

sure

 

[graydoom]

Kalath waits a day in the cemetery, laying low and staying out of trouble for a bit. He starts back up once he know Girfang should be on duty again -- between lunch and dinner.

Once he has started back up again, Kalath heads north from Wicht's tomb, back onto the path of the dead and travels east until he reaches the entrance to the path of tears, which he enters. He approaches the imp's crypt, and knocks.

Unless something unexpected happens, he says "There is no password" after the imps respond and proceeds inwards, moving the torch to open the way down, and going down to the iron door. He knocks on large iron door and waits for the guard (hopefully, Girfang) to speak.

 

[Wicht]

Kalath lays low until the Dawn of the spear arrives. There seem to be no wolves around now and the cemetery seems remarkebly free of undead at the moment. Dawn gives way to noon and Kalath heads back to the Imps and gaining passage heads down the long long staircase to the iron door.

Knocking on the door brings a voice, "Who is there? What's the password?"

It is impossible to tell who the voice belongs to but it does seem to come from the top of the door.

 

[graydoom]

"The password is decomposing."
