Crashing the Party

The acrid smell of burning fills the hot night air in Borderton.  Smoke plumes ascend skywards towards the faint evening stars from two buidings--an inn and a warehouse--and the two dry, dusty acacia trees that flank the old statue of King Tanoch Dwarffriend are buring brightly.  Crowds mill through the town, aiding in the extinguishing of the fires or merely watching.

The party has attempted to track down the arsonist responsible for the fires, and had arrived at the burgomaster's manor--interpreting a riddle reportedly left by the arsonist giving clues as to the locales he intended to burn.  Shortly after arriving at the manor, a strange, thin man had shown up, garbed as a town watchman.  He had scaled the pallisade wall, attacking the monk Asher with a fireball.  Apparently using some form of magical coersion, he had vanished into the manor...in the company one of the soldiers from the garrison.  Simultaneously, the town alderman Savin Perysinos arrived, and ordered that the manor guards allow the party access to the manor and ordering his own men to surround and watch the manor.  Believing the burgomaster's life to be in danger, the alderman implored the party to find the arsonist and protect the  burgomaster.  Asher and Garryn climbed the pallisade wall in order to follow the arsonist and guard, and Villhalas, Dominique, Caylin, and Aine make their way into the manor from the front--accompanying Savin.  Clearly, the alderman believes that time is of the essence...

OOC:  Those of you who are up for playing, please roll initiatives.  I will post results, and we'll proceed in order.  Note that the manor map is up on the website, with areas that are not visible to the party browned-out.

Re: Crashing the Party

Savin, Dominique, and Vilhallas enter the manor, to be faced with a large, comfortably furnished entry hall and anteroom.  A large fireplace, unlit, dominates the eastern wall.  Two leather chairs face the fireplace and flank a small endtable with a crystal decanter and several glasses on it.  Rich rugs, apparently Cazistani in design, are scattered about the floor of the room.  A small, simple clerk's desk and chair are off to the west of the manor's front doors, and two suits of half-plate armor flank the doors themselves.  Three doors open to the north--a set of double doors in the center, and single doors to the left and right of these.  Two small, potted pear trees stand on either side of the double doors.  Other than the characters and Savin, no one else is in the room.

Re: Crashing the Party

Inhaling sharply at a thought that caught him by surprise, Hau'dn fills his lungs with the acrid burning fumes of smoke that throws him into a choked down fit of coughing as he tries to remain silent.  His eyes water badly as he tries to control his body's reaction to keep hidden.  With his focus on that, he is slow to react to much else.

IGA: Initiative 4.

Re: Crashing the Party

Asher nods to Garryn, "Let's remember that Barbarass is carrying a projectile fire weapon around his neck", as the memory of said weapon still burns his ego as much as his blistering skin.

OOC: I see the dice roller still hates me as well. But glad to be back.

17:09, Today: Asher Willbourne rolled 5 using 1d20+3. initiative.
