Yttermayn's "Saga of the Dragon Cult" (IC)

[Voadam]

Jakobee waits patiently for the dwarf to enter but listens as he instead gives a speech. There is a missing link that bothers him in the speech however and he steps in and removes his hood out of respect for the holy grounds. "Pardon me. I am a traveller and came here merely seeking the shrine to pay my respects to the sunlord but I overheard you say there have been mutilations. I also heard you say to rid this town of the troubles you would seek to vanquish the ogre and kobolds in the hills. I did not, however hear you say why you believe the two are related. Did someone see them rampaging together?"

Thrindar : Male Dwarf Wizard (Evoker) 1

Thrindar looks up at Jakobee and shrugs. "I only report what I have learned from the farrier. Should you have additional queries for him I suggest you see him." At this time Toby has finished sniffing the last of those present. He returns to the dwarf's side and Thrindar nods as if in reply. "Toby and I are ready."

"The furrier commented Thindar that the ogre was acting hostile, unlike before. There was also some bodies, found with piercing wounds, tipical Kobold blades." Tuk says to the newcommer. "And anyhow, even for tolerant folks such as this town people, an ogre and his gang of Kobolds living so near of thier community is a potential risk." At this point Apeldan turns to face Jakobee "I'm not stupid anyways, I plan to speak before gripping his neck with my chains."

"As I said, I am new to the town and unfamiliar with the situation. Do the ogre and kobolds normally work together, with the ogre as their leader? Did the furrier know of any reason the ogre turned hostile? I had merely sought a blessing here but I offer my help in investigating and bringing murderers to justice. It is a worthy enough cause."

 

[Helfdan]

Roderic turns to the priest. "Do we know for a fact, Father, if the ogre and kobolds ARE working together?"

 

[Yttermayn]

The priest seems taken aback, probably by so many interested individuals so suddenly appearing. He recovers quickly though, looking at each of them as he speaks. "The woodsmen have seen them roam together, the ogre usually bullying the kobolds. They also seem to share the same cave."

 

[maddmic]

Grok looks up at the priest and asks simply, "So this what need taking care of?"

 

[Yttermayn]

"I believe so, but it dosn't explain everything- like the 'why' of the attacks, and the... altered... forest creatures. If it had only been one woodsman's story, I'd have assumed he'd been into his own hooch too much, but he really was bitten by something, and the bite is badly infected. The limb may have to come off if it dosn't get better soon. People have found other strange things. Baby birds fallen from the nest because they grew fingers instead of wings, someone saw a stoat that was moving along on at least a dozen legs, like a furry little centipede. I tell you, there is something un-natural going on in those hills." the preist shudders, and Grok and Roderic are reminded of the eery feeling that had been growing the last few days of thier journey.

Scrag finally speaks, "Kill wood man. Disease. Bad. Not...uh..." He appears to struggle with the next word and carefully enunciates each syllable, "Natch-u-ral."

 

[Helfdan]

Roderic stands, his friendly face turning serious as he looks in turn at each of the group, his eyes seeming to flash with conviction. "Then it is the will of Pelor and Heironeous that all of us have come to this place at this time. We must get to the root of this evil."
