Torgrun Stonethrower - Hill Dwarf Druid(Sheet) (XP and Loot)
right-aligned image


Torgrun followed along as best he could given the fact that he had joined the others in mid adventure not knowing all of the players and events involved, but it sounded to him that the only lead so far in trying to find anymore information may be with the Izzy fellow. "Aye, unless we got any other leads or any other questions for Me Walton, I agree with HS and say we pay a visit to the Izzy fella next," said Torgrun waiting for confirmation from the others before making his way out.

”Okay,” Rikke said, nodding in agreement. If Honeysuckle and Torgrun thought it was a good idea to go see Izim, then it must really be a good idea. She looked around and shrugged, ”I wonder if he looked through Hip-hop’s stuff? He wouldn’t let us look, but maybe he found something that might help us find the demon lady?”

"Once again Mr. Walton, your vast knowledge and intrinsic intellect have made our continuation of this quest possible. I only hope that in the future, any bets you place will be on us."

The Norseman stood and shrugged back into his pack, "Are you ready to go see Izim?" He asked everyone and no one in particular. Outside the tavern, "Let's try and establish what we're willing to reveal to Izim before we get there. Maybe just start with asking about the book and if he has a copy? I suppose he already suspects we're looking to make contact with the succubus. Since he's previously been in contact with her and is the only reason we know about her at all, we can possibly address our current quest. I'd like to keep the book and the charming scars a secret for now though, as well as our conversation with Brimley. I just can't make myself trust the man, the way he seemed to know everything at our first meeting - everything except for the tiny detail that his goblin servant was a barghest in disguise before sending him to accompany us."

Glanteth is planning to Guidance himself just before speaking with Izim for the sake of the insight check he'll be looking to make.

Rolen rubbed his hands together, and a rare smile crossed his face, "Improv, my favorite form of acting. Don't tell me too much about the fellow, or what he wants. It kinds of ruins the flow. Let me get the fellow talking and then you all can chime in with a few side questions."

The well-armed researchers make their way to the neighborhood, then through the threshold, of Ozurius Izim’s home, a place increasingly familiar to half the party.

Whatever his failings, Izim is at least easy to find. He invites the party to make themselves comfortable in the sitting room, though this involves some crowding. He does insist this time that Baern remain outdoors. “Wel-come back,” he says in his labored diction, “to my home, and to the cityyyy. I heeeard of your dis-a-peeearance, and of your return. And new friends, I seeeee” he notes.

“So Hip-hop did not kill you,” he observes. “Did you dispatch the fiiiiend?”

It was a short walk from The Inkpot and Quill to Izim's colorful townhouse. Just a few doors down, the Norseman halted the group. "You said you have some sort of ritual you wanted to perform, Honeysuckle?" As soon as the Minotaur completed his thing, Glanteth moved his head to the side in a "let's go" gesture. Just as Rikke pulls the huge steel ring knocker back and smacks it to the door, the Norseman reaches over and touches Rolen's shoulder. "casts Guidance on RolendVeiledning".

Glanteth is surprised by Izim's welcoming demeanor, but believes he manages to hide it. The plan had been to allow their newest member to make the inquiries, but Izim was asking him a question right out of the gate. Well, information gathering is usually a two-way passage, the Norseman reminded himself. "I'm a little surprised you've kept such careful track of us to know of our departure and return," Glanteth begins suspiciously. "But yes, we sent Hip-Hop back to Gehenna. Torgrun here played a significant role in accomplishing that," the Norseman puts a hand on the Dwarf's shoulder for a moment. "Oh... and I suppose you haven't met Rolen yet either," he gestures to the warlock in gleaming half-plate.

@SecertID, this sounds like a situation where the GM is rolling behind the screen. Generally, I'm going to try for a two-part interaction - Part 1 Insight into what motivates Izim and Part 2 - Persuading him to give us some information.

@Players, Rolen has no idea who Hip-Hop is and so will leave it up to

Rolen:
1d4 for Guidance
1d3 for Bolstering Magic
Insight +6
Persuasion +8

Rolen looked Izim up and down speculatively, "Alright, Step 1, get to know your audience. Step 2, entertain your audience. Step 3 collect payment. I guess adventuring and performing are not that different."

Rolen slid into the hail-good-fellow-well-met method and thought, "He consorts with Devils, and I with sentient weapons from Shadowfell. We might have some friends in common."

Rolen waved his cape aside to display the grey Half-Plate armor inscribed with black runes, "Does he know what they mean? Rolen wondered as he watched Izim's face closely for any signs of recognition. "I'm Rolen Stormwind lately returned from... Well let us just say, I recently returned to the Material Plane."

"I found that one of my former Adventuring Companions" Rolen gestured to Honeysuckle, "And his friends have been having a bit of a problem with some fiends. Another of their friends has recommended you as somewhat of an expert on fiends."

"Although, I must admit I'm curious. Anything associated with fiends tends to be dangerous. So, what motivates you to collect information on fiends, and what would you like in trade for answering a few of our questions?"

OOCA little reminder of what you probably already know: the Bolstering works like Bless, and lasts for a minute 10 minutes, but the Guidance is only for the next roll, so here I'll apply the Guidance to the Insight, going by what you said. I'll roll the Persuasion as necessary when things get more specific.

Izim listens to Rolen with the patient, somewhat bemused expression he often wears. "Did your new friends not tell you?" he asks rhetorically. "I am in the bus-i-ness of traaaade. When I 'collect' in-for-ma-tion, it is ooonly for its value. He seems sincere to Rolen.

"As for my ex-per-tise," Izim continues, "I am no scholar. But we can seee if I can help you. Tell me your questions, please. If I can answer them, I will tell you my price."

Honeysuckle
OOCBolstering Magic lasts for 10 minutes.

left-aligned image

"Yes...I expect...my awesome magic can, uhhh, help." Honeysuckle wasn't really sure how to transfer his powers, it was after all, quite wild. He closed his eyes to concentrate and started to do ritualistic hand gestures and chanting. Occasionally he cracked open an eye to check if the other were watching, and if they were impressed. He didn't particularly feel like the magic was coming, and so started to feel quite embarrassed. Finally, after he felt like he had milked the charade for too long, he waved his hands over Rolen's far an announced "It is done..." he said stoically, trying to hide his shame. He was magic now, this kind of thing was suppose to just happen for him!
As he finished, Glanteth gestured their departure and touched Rolan whilst saying Veiledning. Something in Honeysuckle's mind clicked....That it! I copy other magic person! He mimicked the cleric and softly whispered Veiled Edging. A small pulse of energy left his hand, and with a sigh of relief, Honeysuckle was free of his embarrassment.

”We’re looking for a book, and a succubus,” Rikke said, interjecting herself into a conversation that had been going smoothly without her. People didn’t take her too seriously, which was okay because she didn’t take herself too seriously either, but it sometimes helped to Help Rolen with his next conversation rollthrow them off of their game. ”Oh, if you have a bow that shoots lightning bolts, I’d really like one of those too, but first we need the book and the demon lady. But don’t forget about the bow because it would be really helpful for fighting all these demons and devils because it could shoot lightning and then everyone would be all happy because there would be less bad guys.”

Rolen is going for Persuasion, with advantage from Rikke and 1d3 from Honeysuckle.

As Rikke interjected, Rolen thought, "Amateur thespians, always trying to claim the limelight and stepping on your lines." However, no trace of Rolen's exasperation was in his voice as he picked up on Rikke's line. "As my learned colleague mentioned, we are in search of a Succubus - Miss Ignisora. She has been a naughty fiend and we need to have a few harsh words with her. Anything that you know about her - strengths, weaknesses, friends, enemies, location would be useful. Secondarily it appears that Miss Ignisora may not be on this plane, and so we are looking for a copy of Elurik's Access the Planes."

Rolen spares Rikke a glance, "As to the Bow of Lightening, it is my colleague's personal quest and so any information on the location, she would have to pay for personally."

As to the information that we have to offer, "My colleagues would be willing to share certain insights from their last adventure."

Torgrun's first impression of Izim was not the best. He looked a bit too slick and sneaky for his taste, with the handlebar mustache and opaque glasses in the not so bright room. He didn't know if he could trust the fellow although at the moment he was the only lead the group had. "Aye, pleased ta meetcha. Name's Torgrun, Torgrun Stonethrower." He didn't stick out a phlegm covered hand to shake as he normally did. He just nodded respectfully. give guidance to Rolen's next roll if he doesn't already have itPlacing a hand on Roland's shoulder, he said, "Aye, Rolen just joined our group so he aint knowin' the adventures we had. In fact I joined not too long ago meself so the others are knowin' more than me. But we'd be glad ta partake in any exchange of info if ya can help us."

Izim appears still to be pondering the full meaning of Rikke’s comments when Rolen presents his broad request. “Ah,” he says, “so that is the book you seek. Do you wish to own a copy, or to review one…or do you only seek to answer a partiiiicular question? Such a booook, to own, when you have a need for it…that is of some value, though likely within your means. If you wish only to access the tome, I will ask much less.

“Regarding Ignisora Jaala,”
he continues, “your new companions may not have informed you, Mis-ter Storrrrmwind, but I have already told them that she has recently spent significant tiiiime on this plane. You may still find her heeeere. I could provide you more in-for-ma-tion, but for reasons you can un-der-stand, I prefer to increase my distance at this tiiiime. If Miss Ignisora prevails over your companions, and now, over you as well, I would prefer that she did not pursue a ven-det-ta against me. Your report of your recent encounters in-ter-ests me little, in that context.”

Rolen chuckled, "An honest information broker, I appreciate that. However, we do need to find Ignisora Jaala's current location. At the same time, we shall make it clear that you were singularly unhelpful in the quest. Still forewarned is forearmed. Out of curiosity, what would convince you to part with a copy of Elurik's Accessing the Planes?"

Rolen gestured to his companions to display the book that they had acquired, "We have recently acquired a rather curious tome. It appears to lay out a ritual that rather than summoning someone, transports the caster to a location. Perhaps you might know someone who could provide some information on the destination of the ritual, for a suitable compensation of course."

Either Izim has already considered his prices, or he makes these decisions very quickly. "For the boook," he begins, "I would accept that magical helm you wear.

"For the answer to your ques-tion...assuuuming that I may obtain one...I would require something of no value to you at aaaall: a few drops of the blood of each of you."
