[Game Thread] Marshpointe Scouting Mission

[Bio]

Syl Link, wolf "Fine." Syl agrees, drawing her hood up over her head. "I'll do the worrying then." Doing something would help though, and the drow was happy to set to work in finding fresh herbs that would help liven up their meal. Err ... well, she was less un-happy at any rate. "Keep your eyes open for game too." she suggested to Krunch. It would of course be a good idea for the Lieutenant too, but she didn't feel comfortable giving such a suggestion to the commanding officer. With any luck, they could find themselves enjoying a rather pleasant meal, despite lacking in the conveniences of urbanity. "Hmm." Syl hummed with disappointment. "I was hoping for clearer water - would have been nice to get to wash up a bit." So much for that plan. The building was a curiosity; not for its being there nor for its recent construction. People were building buildings all the time, yes, even in swamps. But what was it dropping? Probably just water given the location. Could be some lichen letting excess water drip out of its tangled mass. If she were close enough, she would scan it for magic real quick - there was always the chance of foul magic being at play after the horrendous emanations she'd seen in town. A shudder made its way down the young woman's back at the memory. Might be a good idea to check the building out if all three of them didn't stick out so obtusely in this humans-only land.   AC/T/FF: 19/13/16 HP: 45 F/R/W: 7/5/9 1 hr/LWild Shape: 0/2   Drow: Detect Magic (at will), Dancing Lights 1/1, Darkness 1/1, Faerie Fire 1/1, Feather Fall 1/1, Levitate 1/1 4 Level 0s: Guidance, Light, Stabilize, Create Water 4 Level 1s: Magic Fang 2/2, Ray of Sickening 1/1, Entangle 1/1 4 Level 2s: Barkskin 2/2, Restoration, Lesser 1/1, Web Shelter 1/1 3 Level 3s: Daylight 1/1, Resist Energy (Communal) 1/1, Neutralize Poison 1/1

Krunch As the others motioned to Krunch, he stood up and grabbed his meager positions. Krunch pulled out a well-worn set of leather armor covered in patterns from medal studs from his backpack. He practically slid into the armor which now covered his flimsy clothing. Under his pack sat an odd shaped bow made of horn and a quiver, sprouting colorful feathers from the back of his arrows. Krunch fitted the quiver on his corded belt, his pack on his back and his bow he kept in his hand. He looked down at the pile of potential firewood. One piece caught his eye. He picked it up and placed it in his empty backpack. Good club. As he followed the other two, his eyes scanned the area for prey, as requested by the wolf’s double. He now carried three arrows, in between the fingers of his left hand, to prepare to fire in case needed.

Olodra T'Aik Olodra thinks for a moment. "Honestly, it's dark enough hat I think it's safe to explore that dripping building. It's at the edge of town, so I think we can take that risk. But I want to head back to the camp where the goblin is, check one more time if anyone else has re-grouped. Then they can either join us, or at least know where we're going." __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________   SHEET /// PICTURE HP: 57/57 | AC: 22/Touch:15/Flat:18 | Fort: 9/Ref: 9/Will: 7 | CMD: 22 | Initiative: +6 | Speed: 30' Perception: 4 | Knowledge (Religion/Nobility): 10 | Intimidate: 8 | Stealth: 11 | Diplomacy: 13 | Bluff: 11 Smite Evil (+3/+6): 2/2 | Lay on Hands (3d6): 8/10 | Angelic Bond (20ft aura of +3 AC, +3 Saves): 1/1 Panache: 3/3 Ongoing Effects None Actions

He looked at the lights from windows and doorways as they started going out. These people... did they have any idea on what the scummy incubus was even doing? Or... Did they allow it?! Ewis felt his body heat up in anger as he thought about the Incubus, his fist going red from a tightened grip on the net, wanting to scream to the Incubus and challenge him there and then. The red head could just imagine him impaling the demon through the heart, if one even existed, with his Hell-Slayer, preferably in front of the entire town and it's people. Take that bastard and pin him to the town square! Rip that monster open and expose him for what he truly was!! DESTROY HIS VERY-- The redhead took a deep breath and patted his cheeks. He was getting so worked up... What would the Lieutenant think of him right now? She would probably discipline him for letting his anger gain dominance within his mind. He had made his way out of the town gates, looking around for any sign of the group. Catching sight of Olodora (Barely) through the night, he made his way over, at least not before seeing if anyone was following. When he determined he wasn't, he ran toward the group, staying low. "Lieutenant. I got a fishing net." Was all Ewis reported, his previous anger still relaxing from his mental work up, his hands between the dark red and regular white skin. The redhead glanced over at the Goblin that was with Olodora and Syl, taking a deep breath.

Olodra T'Aik Seeing Ewis return with the necessary equipment, the drow Knight smiles. "Good work, Ewis. We are one step closer to hopefully rescuing those children. And yes, we *will* rescue them. Keep your cool, and let out that rage only against the right people. For now, while we walked the outskirts of town, we found one strange building that seems to be leaking. We don't know what the substance is, but we're going to go check it out. The goblin is with us. He has been sent by Blunt-Tooth to help. alright, stick to the shadows and follow *closely*. We won't be using any light sources ourselves, to make us effectively invisible to humans. Heh, that's one disadvantage of not having any non-humans working for you. You can't see CRAP in the dark!" She starts to lead the group back towards the strange building. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________   SHEET /// PICTURE HP: 57/57 | AC: 22/Touch:15/Flat:18 | Fort: 9/Ref: 9/Will: 7 | CMD: 22 | Initiative: +6 | Speed: 30' Perception: 4 | Knowledge (Religion/Nobility): 10 | Intimidate: 8 | Stealth: 11 | Diplomacy: 13 | Bluff: 11 Smite Evil (+3/+6): 2/2 | Lay on Hands (3d6): 8/10 | Angelic Bond (20ft aura of +3 AC, +3 Saves): 1/1 Panache: 3/3 Ongoing Effects None Actions

Ceraan felt a cold shiver creep up his spine the further down he went, and he felt that he shouldn't be down here...But that just proved it was somewhere he needed to be. He

pushed aside the feeling of dread and continued on...

Kubar slowly ambled his ass around the town back towards the pub and inn. He peeked inside and having not seen Ceraan he peers back outside and curses under his breath. Ewis was nowhere to be seen also. He wondered where they had gone too. Suspecting the lieutenant would not like him not having an answer to the whereabouts of the others, Kubar still disguised stepped into the pub leaving the ass behind tied to a pole. Kubar was not generally afraid of a bar fight. In fact he'd gotten into many during his time with the 69th Legion. They hadn't gotten their name as the 'Misbegotten Legion' just for having quartered their commander. Still, during those he had back up. Here he was going into the Lion's den alone. The knight gave a wry look, and walked straight towards the barkeep. Hey! Bartender. I'm looking for my lordling… left him here an hour back. He was looking for place to stay they night... He left the question un-asked hoping the bartender would just give him the information without much trouble.

[Bio]

Syl Link, wolf "Actually, I think just you should go Lieutenant." Being fully Drow, she would be able to see without a light source. The goblin probably could as well but ... Syl wasn't sure the fellow would be able to discypher any threats or unravel the mystery of the leaking building. ... or communicate anything he'd been able to find. He looked more a fighter than the clever sort. At any rate, "Must easier to spot, or hear, a whole troupe of Knights than a single person." Casting Guidance for a +1 to your next skill checka quick spell on the commander, the half-drow awaited her full-blooded Lieutenant's return.   AC/T/FF: 19/13/16 HP: 45 F/R/W: 7/5/9 1 hr/LWild Shape: 0/2   Drow: Detect Magic (at will), Dancing Lights 1/1, Darkness 1/1, Faerie Fire 1/1, Feather Fall 1/1, Levitate 1/1 4 Level 0s: Guidance, Light, Stabilize, Create Water 4 Level 1s: Magic Fang 2/2, Ray of Sickening 1/1, Entangle 1/1 4 Level 2s: Barkskin 2/2, Restoration, Lesser 1/1, Web Shelter 1/1 3 Level 3s: Daylight 1/1, Resist Energy (Communal) 1/1, Neutralize Poison 1/1

Most of the Party Kubar heard that Ceraan had gone to the Lord Fortin's house. Looking outside he saw Ewis rushing back to Olodra and the rest and so he followed after him. The two men arrived nearly one after the next and were able to relay their information to Olodra. The Loom, was rather undefended, and the group could head right there this moment. The real question in mind was if Ceraan could extricate himself from his predicament on his own or id they should attempt to rescue him. If so, should they destroy the Loom first?

Lord's Manner Ceraan pushes past the warding spell and into the Servants area. It is easy to tell where the kitchens are and servants walk through without a second glance at someone who is so obviously above their station. Most of the openings in the hallways are stairs up to other levels of the house or into the kitchens. Wandering a bit he finds a heavy oak door with a lock. A set of stairs near it also has a door and the walls have some arcane Looks like another warding and possibly a trap spellrunes on them.. The heavy Oak Door looks quite solid and the lock as well. No servants seem to be scurrying around this area. It seems more likely that it heads up to private quarters and possibly somewhere else.

Krunch Krunch still crouched stared up at the drow Me see in dark. Me help save many whelping. The double spoke and he glanced in her direction. Odd not want to go. Maybe double not to smart. Krunch stands up, with his weapons and nearly empty pack begins to follow the drow. No not just Lieutenant. Me go. Me try be quiet. Me hear well.

Syl Link, wolf "Fine." Syl said with a shrug, "You go. Tell us if there's anyone inside." Could be there was no one even in there, and they wouldn't even have to worry about being quiet at all.   AC/T/FF: 19/13/16 HP: 45 F/R/W: 7/5/9 1 hr/LWild Shape: 0/2   Drow: Detect Magic (at will), Dancing Lights 1/1, Darkness 1/1, Faerie Fire 1/1, Feather Fall 1/1, Levitate 1/1 4 Level 0s: Guidance, Light, Stabilize, Create Water 4 Level 1s: Magic Fang 2/2, Ray of Sickening 1/1, Entangle 1/1 4 Level 2s: Barkskin 2/2, Restoration, Lesser 1/1, Web Shelter 1/1 3 Level 3s: Daylight 1/1, Resist Energy (Communal) 1/1, Neutralize Poison 1/1

Kubar Bin Steverin Kubar got the info he wanted. Quickly but as non-chalantly as possible he got out of the tavern. Which meant he at least had one ale. Heading out of the door while wiping his face with the back of his hand, he undid his ass and by chance spotted Ewis. Quickly undoing the knot. Cam' on girl... And slowly trailed the other knight out of town. When he could he moved towards where the others should be waiting... Well frak... Where y'all headed to now? He asked Ewis as he approached from behind and saw that the others were getting ready to move out. The burly half-orc sighed and shook his head as he followed. Eh... Lieutenant. This might be bad timing for a debrief but pretty boy seems to have gotten himself invited into the Lord's manor... But there's more... Kubar quickly goes over all the information he was able to acquire.

[DoubleL1987]

Coming to the door, Ceraan eyed it, wondering for one rather foolish second if he should try and break it down, before shaking his head and stepping back. He had pushed his luck far enough, and being caught now would be very difficult to explain. tossing back the port in the glass, he headed back up the stairs and into the smoking room.

I should try and meet back up with the others...Hopefully it won't arouse too much suspicion if I say I need to go confer with my "servants"

[Ysolde]

Ceraan was very careful in his exit from the Lord's manor. By the time he was out the door the guards there seemed to be somewhat asleep. The guards at the gate just allowed him to leave as well, though there was some joking about just what he might need in his chest. Definitely jokes about sheep's intestines and other objects that were known to prevent young women from getting pregnant and questions about which servant he might be interested in.

The Paladin, somehow, ignored the rude japes and was able to exit and meet up with the others. He found them not too long afterward where they were discussing things with a Goblin. The goblin, apparently named Krunch, had investigated a building quite aways from town and had found out that it was a place of alchemy. No one was currently inside, but the huge vats and the like were being used to make a large amount of poisons and black powder. Indeed, the place was quite likely to explode with just a hint of a flame and Krunch had even had the wits to bring back a small barrel of the black powder letting the group know there were at least ten more.

[TYL]

Olodra T'Aik Question Can I get a summary of what Kubar learned? There's so much going on I'm a bit confused. and It's been a while so I don't remember all of the names anymore. Is Newt an incubus demon that is kidnapping little children for the local lord? We are planning on taking Newt out if possible? What else was learned? "Alright, Krunch has done some scouting and he did VERY well. There are more than 10 barrels of the black powder inside. I suggest we take half of the barrels and sneak them into the building producing the cloth. We detonate both sets of barrels at once, so we can destroy both the poisons and the cloth production. With the distraction this will surely cause, the guards will be drawn away from the lord's manor, and that's when we rush in. The question is, what is our main objective inside the manor? I suspect we won't have time to do everything we want. We can try to kill Newt. We can try to rescue the children. We can try to kill the lord. We want to choose the path that will delay operations here the most, or stop operations entirely, or turn the populace against the imperials." __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________   SHEET /// PICTURE HP: 57/57 | AC: 22/Touch:15/Flat:18 | Fort: 9/Ref: 9/Will: 7 | CMD: 22 | Initiative: +6 | Speed: 30' Perception: 4 | Knowledge (Religion/Nobility): 10 | Intimidate: 8 | Stealth: 11 | Diplomacy: 13 | Bluff: 11 Smite Evil (+3/+6): 2/2 | Lay on Hands (3d6): 8/10 | Angelic Bond (20ft aura of +3 AC, +3 Saves): 1/1 Panache: 3/3 Ongoing Effects None Actions
