Once the time shift has worn off, the group, Kree, Bruga and Senuviel find themselves huddled in a room that looks oddly familure.  The inn, the day before you all were brought before the king on this odd ly wicked quest to find that chaotic compass.   You had just worked out some actions about the poor gypsee and the warehouse issue that day.

You all feel as though time has shifted some from those days by gone, one Clair and Snare are not with you as they were the last time.  You have vague memories except Senuviel of things you did, went through and experienced.  Alas, you all realize that yes, it all must have been true because you have the gear, magical items and wounds to tell your story.

When you look out the window It is Dawn, do you have a full day yet before the kings men come to get you or is this the day?

Actions:

  Kree  looks around, he frowns,..I think we  should  be away..see if  we can find that slaver, before the King's  folks  come  and get us...if...indeed..they are really the King and his people...

Wow! That was ...hmmm...odd. Senuviel looks at himself and the others and then looks around remembering perfectly where he and his friends are. Seems odd enough. It fells to me as I've had left a dream but I still have the marks and scars upon me. Whatever did it to us must have been a powerful illusion or alteration spell. I only wonder, why. Is someone testing us? Are we cursed? Senuviel looks pensive What if we were granted a second chance by the gods or some other powerful being? What if we are just pawns on a sick divine game? Or just were we struck by some powerful spell that got out of control? The elf looks at his friends. Shall we go after the slavers as Kree suggests or stay and see if our endeavors with Thine Majesty would be different?

  Kree frowns,...if  we wait..and  get taken again..our friend will be at thier mercy once more, with our actions being the trigger  for what happens to them....if we go after the slaver  now?...we cannot be given the  oders, since we will never have been here....and..we have the advanatage of knowing where to look...I do not trust the king..nor...do i feel the need togo through, what we have already done? we do not even know, if those  we killed, will still be there...or..if they remain.....better to hunt the slaver, and work backwards...on our own, with no constraints  from  "his  highness"

Bruga pulls himself together. Whatever all this has been or would be, I think we should skedaddle. But I'm for a random direction something those who are...I guess... tracking us don't expect.

After considering his friends' words for a while, Senuviel replies. I guess you're right, Kree. Let's go on with your plan and let the unexpected to our royal friends.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 6):

DM Note: Only you three are "back" in the room in the inn.  Clair and Snare are not also back with you at that time period.  Neither are the two Dwarves nor the dead Goseric nor Keneally.

Bruga checks his gear and says Lead on.

Senuviel looks grim. After much thinking he says. Something is still amiss. We don't have the control of the situation here, yet. Have you two noticed that neither Claire and Snare nor the Dwarves and the holy wackos are here? Although we have traveled back to the inn I think we haven't exactly traveled back in time. Something's not quite right here, friends.

Y.eees, but what can we do? I'm for getting out of here.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 10):

Actions?

Normal inn sounds from the main common room.

  Kree's mood has  not improved  with this, new, problem...then..we go..now..and head to find the slaver.....we have an edge, he doesn't know ...that  we know...what we did not know....

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 12):

The group heads down stairs.  At first everything seems normal and what one would expect from the inn - 3 days ago - but little things are out of place, too many tables have few or no chairs, the bar only has 2 not 6 stools.  the fireplace mantel looks a bit singed and the normal waitress is not roving the tables getting/giving out drinks/food.  The people look the same as you go by, some look vaguely familure, the waitress and bar keep are or you think are the same people.

Bruga you come to the conclusion that this place had a big bar fight of some kind as you are seeing the after affects.

Even the door looks beaten to all get out as you pass into the streets.

Which way?

Street activity is normal, no, no kings guard are walking down the street toward you....yet :)

  Kree points in the direction  the slaver is  suppposed to be ,..That way..quickly, but not to stand out...Spread out  a bit, so we do not look that three folks together....


  He  pulls his hood over his head, and gives  that;s to Tymora and Beshaba for his bow....

Bruga window shops his wayh along  like one whose eyes are bigger than his purse.

Senuviel, hoods on, walks the other side of the way, he unstrings his long bow and uses it as a staff.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 16):

Um, are you heading out of town? to the docks? to the where houses? to the castle?

You meander down the street.  The normal shoppers and such are about, nothing looks out of the ordinary - on the outside but.....

(( at loss for directions?..but we want to go..where the Orc told us the  slaver was...))

  The  elf's eyes  shift now  and again.  at times he will stopp and look  at a building, or  up at the sky, using those movements to mask, him scanning the area.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 18):

OOC - The Orc, told you but it was in the underground city potentially far far away, remember that distance tunnel you went through.  Plus the access to all that area was in the castle some where.   You can go to the other city where you had escorted the wagon that had that "crazy" Priest in it you rescued.

Kree, a little boy in an ally way eyes you up and down then scoots off down the ally.

  Kree, Gives  a motion to Senuviel and slowly  moves to the alley, then sprints after the lad.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 20):

Awaiting Senuvile and Brugas actions/reactions to your actions before I post

Bruga walks after Kree, which means Kree is gettng further away.

Senuviel crosses the streets, the elf swears under his hood mostly to himself. He calmly walks towards the alley. Once in there, the warrior/mage sprints after Kree.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 23):

The lad turns and see's Kree then Senuviel sprint after him.  He chuckles and yells back, catch me if you can and dashes through an open door laughing all the way.

Kree, you can easily follow the lad since you can hear his laughter echo throughout the house and down a stair case.

No one else is in the house.   Kree, do you rush in after him?  Do you go down the stairs or out the back or up stairs or intot he back of the house or stand in the doorway or....

 Kree stops  at the  Door and moves  slightly to the side. The  kid already told him what he needed to know...now..he just..listened...pointing ot the otherside of the door  for Senuviel to stand...

Senuviel stops as soon as Kree gives the signal. The warrior/mage draws his sword and readies his shield. Where is the kid? Should we go after him?

  Kree  shakes his head  a bit, holding up  a finger to signal wait, his eyes  study the building  as he listens,...he wanted  me to chase him, elsewise he wouldn't have run...now he is taunting us  into a trap..of sorts..if he is  Guild? It may be  , just what we need to find the slaver....if he his  working for slavers?..well...it  would not be  such a good  thing  for us to go down there...

 He jerks his ehad towards the other  buildings,..there should be lookouts..or  back up...if  they are not here now?..Then  soon will be.....our only  question is...do we get trapped in another  building, or  head out  towards, where  our  slaver target  is going to be?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 27):

The lads echo is fading.....gone, the house is silent once more.

In reply to Clair Brandywhine (msg # 28):

You can hear a pin drop.  Kaping, clackaty click..... :)

Bruga waits by the door in the alley.

Senuviel seems annoyed yet concerned. Another damn house. So, shall we see what kind of ambush is prepared for us this time? Or shall we move back to the inn or even finda a different inn?

  ..there is  a trap....to be sure. If  we go in and fail, then we will lose  all chance   at finding that slaver. he looks at the door , his  eyes  narrow, just a bit,...but..if  we are able to deal with them, they could help us  find the slaver...

Senuviel sighs a deep sigh. Well then, you got a point, Kree. The elf then looks at Bruga. What say you, dear Honeyfinder? If you agree, then I guess you move ahead of us as usual, checking for traps and the stuff you do best. If you don´t object, of course. Senuviel lets a friendly smile go.

What?! You want to get into something that might be like, like....well, whatever it...whatever? I thought the idea is to make traks and then figure out what to do...though you tow seem to have slavers on the brain.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 34):

You three think standing in the doorway will sooner or later attract some type of attention form outside if not from inside (if there is anyone here). lol

  Motioning to Bruga..lets be at it then..Bruga..go first, be careful, Senuviel with your blade and shiled, Me rearguard with my bow

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 36):

Bruga, you go and check the stairs, no traps, squeeky steps but nothing happens all the way to the bottom.  at the very bottom of a well lit landing it opens into a 10 x 10 area with a low 3' wall circling the 10x10 area (Bruga can peak over if you like).  The landing is 1/4 way into this 10x10 area with 3' behind the stairs to the buildings main basement wall.  the area has an open ceiling floor plan.  beyond the wall on the two sides Left and right is an open area that goes about 10 more feet to the sides of the basement.  beyond the wall in front of you extends about 20 feet.  You see sitting at the far end 2 young boys (one Kree recognizes) sitting between an old white haired female in dusty drab worn robs.  the 2 lads are in street urchant rags.

She waves you three to come closer.  there is a worn throw rug from the low wall to her chair.  The lads from what you can see are just sitting there cross legged.

What do you do.

Senuviel sword in hand appraches the old lady cautiously. He nods at Kree and Bruga as he slowly moves forward.

Bruga shuffles toward the lady, which means that he's ready to step back from a trapdoor.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 39):

No traps, you get closer to her and stop about 8' away because you realize that who you see was/is that wicked mage women who set you up at the kings table BUT this lady is really old and frail the other one was younger and more vibrant.

She indicates for you to come and sit in front of her.  She has not spoken but indicates with a frail skinny hand to the rug by her feet.

The two street urchants are better dressed at closer inspection but still look about 10 and dirty.  Only a knife is at the side of each lad.  No weapons you can see on the lady.

Actions? Do you go up and sit or stay back or run or ??

  Kree stands back.  his bow up, and aimed  at the   woman, he is ready to turn it one one of the lads, if things do not go well.

 ....My fiends  and I have had a rather tough, and frustrating time.....I am of the mind to feather the three of you....give me a reason..and  I will.

 Now?...what is the reason for this lad to lead us down here...he was waiting  for us...if nay?..He is  very poor  at his craft....

Bruga turns and runs.

Senuviel sighs. He then looks at Kree from behind shoulders and nods at the archer. Th warrior/mage sheathes his sword, hangs his shield into his back and sits down. The elf touches one of his pouches, the components of his spell at his fingers and the magical words burn like fire in his mind. The elf sits in front of the woman, legs crossed, his eyes going from on lad to the other.

Alright, here we are and you kind of resemble someone old lady. Who are you? Why are we here? Speak your mind, will you? Says Senuviel in a polite but firm tone.

  Kree's eyes  watch all three. ready to loose  a shaft at the first sign of agression....he was not...very understanding at the moment...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 44):

OK, Bruga runs (Bruga, you can eavesdrop but we will PM your moves - evil DM laugh).

Kree stands with his bow drawn and ready, ah Kree, how long are you holding that bow drawn?  Sonner or later you will get tired - another evil DM laugh.

She alights her eye upon you Senuveil and smiles.  In a whisper - Welcome one Senuviel Alantir.  I appreciate your willingness to for see things in a different light.  She alomst phases in and out like a ghost but you feel she is the real McCoy alive and well but old.

In a horse but just bearly louder whisper she call out - Kree Quickshadow, do you still wish to stand and play a melody on your bow string or come sit and listen.

tck tck , shakes her head, Bruga Honeyfinder, hhmm, he shall find no honey where he goes this day, shame.

Turns her attention to you Senuveil, Time has played a cruel joke on you, me and a few others, Bruga Honeyfinder has set the hands of father time back - a ripple in time has occurred.  Weakly smiles, a good thing for me.....and you.

She stops talking and is calmly waiting for something.....

Acitons Kree, Senuveil?

Bruga I'll deal with your actions via PM, chuckle my pretty eh eh eh.. oopps wrong story :)

   Kreee lowers his  bow, placing the  newly created arrow in his  quvier. He  Holds  the bow in his left hand, ,, and rests his  right  hand  on the hilt  of his dirk, on his  right  hip. the  hilt of his Longsword, easy in reach on his left hip.

 He  walks  slowly towards His comrade, carful to stay away from the  rug, for now...I will listen, since Senuviel, seems to think it wise. But is will stand, lest we come to a .....disagreement?

Senuviel is pensive. So, you are saying we are not in our own time. Is it?

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 47):

She looks up as Kree stands near, still in a horse whisper she speaks

wise choice to not trust one you do not know master Kree. Looks beyond Kree, oh I see Bruga Honeyfinder has decided the grass in greener on this side of the wall.

Looks back to Senuviel, Very well master Senuviel, for now, I shall deal with you and you can deal with your companions.

Looking only at Senuveil she croaks in a horse voice just audible - Three days ago, time was different around here.  I was not as I am now nor was I who I was then.  A change has happened, an alter of time has occurred. A chance to right the wrong and wrong the right.  Your companion master Bruga gifted me three days, time I need.  she takes a long breath and you can definitely hear it fill her lungs like you have heard from dying men taking there last breath before.

She begins speaking again, There are 10 houses in the ally way of time.  This is the first house, find the puzzle pieces from each house and finish the puzzle for me, that is your quest, you will have three days less one second to complete the task.  If you do not finish in time, what little you saw at the inn will be what is to be and what was suppose to be will not be.

She shudders and takes another long breath, What I do you cannot do, but i can help you out, that is if you trust what I say is right.  From the Gypsee camps warlock, a drink was made, it will help you step out of time, but only once.  The Gypsee's name was Mulligan, and he gave it to me for he foresaw a time where I would need it.  Alas, his time was up before I could get much else out of him.

She takes another long breath and this time you notice she phased to a foggy image then back.  Oh, my time is running and so is yours.  Senuviel Alantir, if you want to get back to your real time, trust in me, take from the lad the drink to use in dire time and from the other lad the first piece of the puzzle.  Go find the other 9 but be careful, others want to stop you now that you have opened up time to them too.

She sits heavy into the chair staring into space, her eyes do not look like they see anymore.  The one lad to your left calmly stands and produces a small vial and offers it to you Senuviel while the other lad to the right stands and offers his out.   You notice one is larger then the other.

Bruga has returned.

Actions,

  The elf is more  or less confused. But  a task...that was something to concentrate on. His  hand  moves to his blade, but  does not  draw it , as the boys  put out ther ehand to Senuviel

Senuviel takes the vials from the lads, he then looks at his comrades. </aqua>You´ve listened to the woman, our time runs short. Let´s figure this puzzle out and set things alright, yes?</aqua>

I saw an old man, and I've a hunch he followed me back into this house. Regardless, I suggest we start with a house next door and work our way around. Presumably, we'll know what we're to find when and if we find it.

  Kree takes  one last look at the  woman, a scowl on his face,..Aye, let us be at it....at least, if gives  us something to work on....

  He will allow  Senuviel to elave  first as hw watches thier back, right before he turns, he says to the boy he chased,..why did you not...simply call me over?

Bruga looks back. "Thanks."

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 53):

You get one vial from the one lad then he sits down next to the lady.  The there lad having held out his hands to you all then follows like an obedient dog.

AS your about to go up the steps, the old man appears at he top.  He looks vaguely familure but you cannot put a finger on who.  Once he sees you are leaving with the lad he points a finger at you all and shouts, fools, my master will hear of this mockery and runs off at a good pace.

Bruga, looking back you see the old lady fade some, like a fog is between you all and her.  The lad at her feet is still as can be but his eyes watch you leave.


Actions?

..damn this to all the 9 hells...  Kree sprints up the stairs    in an effrot to run down the old man.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 55):

Kree roll a d20.

((ok rolled..it  won't paste, but its on the log))

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 57):

Every one else can also roll a D20 if they run up the steps after Kree but no matter what Bruga you will be a it behind the rest.

kree, you hit the top and keep going as you are right on his heals as he runs out the front into the ally way.   He is a fast bugger for as old as he looks.

To continue chasing him roll another d20 to see what happens.

The rest can too if they are still following you at a run.

  since his boiw , doesn't  require   knocking a real arrow?..Kree will judge  if he can get a shot into him, if not   he  will chase more...

If Bruga knows the local layout, he attempts to go around where the old man might run to. He'll guess the old man will turn to his left.

Senuviel sighs, stores the vials into his pouches and slowly moves after his comrades.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 61):

Kree, You can always shoot at the man, it will slow you down though if you stop aim and shoot else it is a -6 to hit shooting while running.

Bruga, roll percent to see how well you know the area

Senuviel, Bruga darts up the steps, catching up to you as you casually stroll up them.

Bruga pauses a moment to get his bearings at the top of the steps.

Kree is off chasing the old man though he looks to be fumbling with his bow as the old man who in fact turned left but is heading further into the ally way.

Actions, rolls.

  Kree's bow, in his left hand  as always,  when he turns the  corner, he will  take a deep breathe   and raise hos  bow, he will try to bring the man  down by aiming  for his waist, the one part that  it will not matter  if he  ducks, jumps of  twists....and fire...

20:39, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 15 using 1d20. Bow shot.
This message was last edited by the player at 00:40, Wed 03 Oct 2012.

Senuviel leaves the house to the alley, he studies his surroundings.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 64):

Kree you only fired one shot?  You could either fire another this round (bow has 2 shots/rd) or start running again.   I need damage rolled for the first arrow, it hit his back.

Senuviel studies the ally way and the builds once out

Senuviel analyzes the buldings around and seeing Kree shooting his arrows, the warrior/mage decides to go to his friend.

19:34, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 5 using 1d20. 2nd  shot.
19:34, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 8 using 1d8. Dam 1st arrow.
20:39, Yesterday: Kree Quickshadow rolled 15 using 1d20. Bow shot.

Kree sees his  arrow  Bite into the felow's back, he fires  another, then uses his well honed  running skills to  run down the wounded fellow ( or try to!)

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 67):

Kree's arrow bits deep into the old man, he stumbles a moment but continues on.  He runs into the third building down the ally way - the door was open.  It shuts as Kree rounds on the door.

-  Kree, you can try to charge and shoulder ram it, Stop and try to kick it in, stop and wait for Senuveil who is right behind you, keep running to the next building, give up and go home?  Ask Bruga for some tea :)

- Senuviel, the old man, wounded, makes it through the door as it closes in front of you and Kree.

You ran past a building on the right and one on the left.  there is, yup 10 buildings within this ally way before it ends at another main road.  For ease of Dming :)  you went into building #1 first, then out and chased the old man past Building #2 and #10 and #9 is across from you as he is in #3.

Bruga, what are you doing?

   Kree  stops  at the Door  and tries to give it a  kick open, if it opens he will go into the  door, but he  will be stalking...not rushing in like a bull....

Bruga continues going around the block.

(perhaps inventing jogging if anybody asks)

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 70):

Kree roll a d100.

Bruga, you are about a 1/4 way through the round about streets and you realize that it will be a bit longer to get "around" the block.  there are tiny passage ways a child, skinny teen or a 1/2 ling could fit through between each building but also you recall kobolds, goblins, even some elves and the rest of the "humanoids and monsters you do not want to mention" also could squeeze through these passages.

a 1/2ling jogging, now that will get some odd looks:

20:48, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 81 using 1d100. roll.

As Bruga jogs along, two halfling lasses come walking his way. He puffs out his chest, drawing their eyes, and eliciting sniggers. Chestfallen, he continues on his way.

Senuviel draws his sword and readies his shield, he nods at Kree, as soon as the elf kicks the door open, the warrior/mage carefully steps inside.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 74):

Oh Kree, seems that the door won that round.  You made a rather loud noise and the door looks beat up some but still standing lol.

Kree you can try again, roll another d100.

  Kree looks at Senuviel  and  shrugs, then gives the door another  Kick,

22:03, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 4 using 1d100. door.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 76):

Kree kicks the door down, not just open and as he steps aside to let Senuviel through two arrows fly out just missing both of you.

Senuviel you enter to hear a door close on the far side of the large room.   Obviously whoever shot those arrows knew you where there and ran after shooting them.

The room is large 20x20 making up the whole first floor.  there is a door to the right that the shooter may have run through (was just slammed shut) and a set of double stairs that wind up to the 2nd floor from the far wall (think The Clampets on Beverly Hillbillies front inside steps that hugged the wall going up).


Actions?

  Kree points tot he stairs,watch those..I will see if  i can catch  whomever  went through the door...look for blood from the old man...  he runs  towards the door, But  stays  to the side a bit..rather the straight towards it.

Senuviel does as he's said. He guards the stairs and searches the floor for blood stains.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 79):

Kree runs to the door, nothing happens.

Senuviel guards the stairs looking for blood.  No blood.

Do you open the door, go up the steps, leave???

  Kree, Once more  Kicks the door in anger, elven swear words about how the OPld one should have fell by now....






05:39, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 43 using 1d100. door

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 81):

Kree Again roll percent.

Bruga continues although he's pretty sure the old man didn't come this way.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 83):

OOC - Welcome back, Ihope your move went well.

Bruga - you see normal traffic as you circle the allyway.  you pass 5 houses then once on the main road you turn back toward the allyway.  Nothing is going on in the allyway.  5 houses on the right and 5 on the left.



Kree, that door is really really tough.  Or maybe it was dead bolted or you are just not having a good door busting day.   Please roll again :)

Senuviel, you definitely hear the sound of a crossbow being fired upstairs but strangely not at you.....

  Kree  spins  and Kicks the door  again.





20:25, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 31 using 1d100. door

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 85):

LOL. oh you kicked it good and you see that yes the door has a nice dead bolt system as the door buckles but does not break.  Your foot and leg are vibrating from the kick.

Further actions?

  Kree's head looks at the Ground, and slowly turns to Senuviel.... then  Jump kins the door, closer to the  lock.....

21:38, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 28 using 1d100. door
This message was last edited by the player at 01:38, Fri 12 Oct 2012.

Senuviel startles! I heard a crossbow being fired upstairs, Kree. Whispers the warrior/mage in elvish. Where´s Bruga? Maybe someone´s trying to shoot at him from upstairs.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 88):

Kree, the door deadbolt breaks and the door opens slightly.  do you push it all the way open?

Actions?

No you have not seen Bruga since you started chasing the old man into this building.

  The  elf  Kicks the  door  open, without entering the threshold....

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 90):

Kree, two arrows sail out of the dark room beyond the door you just kicked in.

One misses you cleanly the other almostt takes your ear off, but misses too.

Senuviel, you hear heavy armored foot steps above you one - like someone is in the roon above you on the 2nd floor.

Action?

  Kree ducks  a bit, MOves through the Door and  takes  a few steps to the right, his bow  up as he looks for the shooter.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 92):

Kree moves into he room - straight back against the wall a figure catches your eye - of course you hear the twang of a bow string ....  Make your attack rolls as you are under fire that is unless you want to keep being target practice.

Senuviel, booted footsteps above you in the 2nd floor room - do you go up to investigate or help Kree out?

In reply to Clair Brandywhine (msg # 93):

OOC - Kree - you better hit and kill him because - sorry to say - the DM just rolled 2 20's for 8 hp damage.  Lucky I do not use special 20 rules on arrows (x2 dam).

Fair play is you each shot at each other but he was expecting you so his first shot went off before yours but you can make up the time and shoot your second shot because of your special bow before his 2nd shot.  Now you just have to hit.  No pressure :)

It is the old man by the way.

  the  elf, decieded to surprise the fellow, and  he sprinted headlong towards tghe  fellow, with  a  little Juke here and there..he sole  purose  is to  slam the  guy into the wall as hard  as he can hit him.

Um err Kree, your last post above did not say juke or rush anyone but that you had stepped into the room bow ready.

I would strongly take back the rushing at the fellow since you would get nailed by two arrows as you charged.

He fired as you walked in while you raised your bow.

Shot to kill or get pin cushioned ;)

oh..well ..i thought your post meant this was  next turn...

   Kree Drops down to his  right Knee, to make his  target smaller, then fired off two shots  at the fellow.

19:10, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 6 using 1d8. 2nd dam.
19:10, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 3 using 1d8. 1st dam.
19:10, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 18 using 1d20. 2nd bow shot.
19:10, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 13 using 1d20. 1st bow shot.

Meanwhile, Bruga perhaps is around a corner.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 98):

Kree, luckily you drop him before he gets off his second shot.  You do get hit with the first arrow for 2 HP dam.  The old man dies of his wounds.  This room has no other exit - it looks like it was a storage room as remains of flour and wheat lay about on the ground.

Bruga, you have hustled about 1/2 way down the wally way - i assume back to the first set of houses where you hope to find Kree and Senuviel.  As you pass house #5 you sense a chile like something unnatural or rather large passed over you casting a shadow of dread but you do not see any physical shadow as yo run along.  You will make it easily next round to the house you presumed the other two are in unless you wish to stop and see what is going on in #5??

Senuviel - just awaiting your actions and then I will continue with the next round.

 He wills earch the old man's body, and  take a look around the floor to see what trcaks might be on the ground in the  flour and wheat. He will take note of  any weapons and such the man has on his as well.

OOC: sorry for the delay. I was away on the weekend visiting my mom and only returned yesterday and went straight to work.

Senuviel watches as Kree fights the hidden archer. Hearing the sound above him, the warrior/mage sheathes his swords as he recalls the words of a Sleep spell. Senuviel raises his shield as his other hand gets the necessary components for the spell. The elf waits - spell ready - for the armored man to show up at the stairs.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 101):

Kree, the floor is littered with foot prints, marks like items were dragged about in and out.  old man has a dagger, bow and a couple of arrows left.   apouch with 5 cp and 1 sp.  Who ever he worked for did not pay well unless he left his stuff behind and only carried what he might need.   You do notice a quiver with a couple more arrows is hung on the wall behind the door and another hook where a bow would have been.

Roll d6 for me. Kree.

Senuviel, the heavy booted steps stop above you.  Nothing else goes non.  Though you hear then see Bruga run to the doorway from outside all out of breath with a look like death himself was chasing him or he is late for diner.

Actions.

22:12, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 3 using 1d6. roll.


 Kree will take the Pouch and the  arrows, he will also take the other  quiver of  arrows, he will pulls on the hooks to see if they might  open somthing.

Senuviel inquiries Bruga. What have you seen, my friend, to make you look like as death itself has been chasing you?

After catching his breath, Bruga replies. I was trying to head the old man off if he went the way I guessed. Didn't see him. As a passed a house (#5 description), I felt a scarynesss.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 105):

Kree you do not find anything nor does the hook do anything.

OK, actions?

  He returns  to the room With Senuviel witht he  extra  quiver   on his belt. His bow, ready to bring up as he retruins to his  friend.

Senuviel, his face grim, speaks. Alright, I guess it´s better we solve the puzzle that old lady gave us. We might find some answers. Besides, I´m sick and tired of this cat and rat game.

well..the Old man is not going tell anyone , anything...here...some extra's for you...  he hands  him the quiver  of arrows  from the room.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 109):

Actions?  Upstairs to see what was making the noise or out the door?

  Kree nods tot he stairts  and  holds his Bow, this time, he takes the elad..going quickly...softly as he  is able...keep his eyes  focused above them.

Bruga softly goes up ahead with stone in sling. He gos toes first to check that what he's on is squeakless.

Senuviel goes last, his spell at ready.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 113):

Kree and Bruga - roll d6 for as you three march up the steps.

19:25, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 1 using 1d6. rolll.

Rolled a 3.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 116):

Kree, your foot thuds like a hollow spot as you walk up the stairs, do you stay put like you are standing on a land mind or lift your foot and continueon up the steps.

Bruga, you hear the hollow thud from Krees footfall.

Actions?

  Kree  will Jump as hard  as he is able, Up the stairs....

Bruga hopes to get up and out of the way.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 119):

Ok, well, I will await Senuviels actions since he is also at he bottom of the steps - Evil DM cackle ;)  Before Ipost what happens.

OOC - Lovely weather us US east coasters are going to get, anyone out this way - stay safe and batten down the hatches :)

Senuviel stops as he hears the sound. He falls back to the room in order to give his friends space in case they need a desperate jump.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 121):

when you all can,

Kree, send me a save roll first then a percentage roll please.

Bruga a percentage roll and a dex roll and if you fail teh dex a save roll to.

Senuviel a percent roll please.


Some big banging flash goes off as Kree tries to run up the steps.  Kree has set off something nasty, when all your rolls are done and I have power to post I'll let you know what happens.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 125):

Kree, you feel as though you have been whipped feet first across a field of cactus. You take 3 points of damage and find yourself staring up at the ceiling as you were thrown to the bottom of the steps.  Senuviel is looking down at you.

Bruga, You duck and are able to scoot around Kree as he sails to the bottom of the step.  You make it to the top of the steps though your ears are ringing a little.

Snuviel, You are able to get to the bottom of the steps about the same time Kree does though he is laying on his back while you are looking at him.

Actions?

 Looking up at the steps, he shakes his head to try and clear his head...you see anything up there?. He gets up slowly, taking inventory of his body.

Bruga looks around while wrist-whirling his sling.

Senuviel helps Kree stand up. <aqua> Are you all right?</red>

 The  elf  winces, there is more anger then pain in his voice,..aye..nicked up a bit...let us  find  out who wants to die...

Senuviel nods and sighs. Aye! This game tires me the most. The elf turns to Bruga. Can you see anything there, dear Halfling?

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 131):

Bruga see nothing but a hallway going left and right and two doors near each end.  Obviously it looks like two rooms at the least for the upstairs part.

No noise or movements.  Everything is still.

Actions.

DM hint -Potions of healing help the wounded when there is no Cleric around.

  Kree makes sure his blade is loose in its scabbard, his bow  in his left hand,..let us take a look, the  night is waning....

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 133):

Kree and Senuviel - assume you two go back up the stairs to Bruga, yes avoiding that step.

You have tow door to choose from one on the left and one on the right.

Actions?

  Kree  points to the one on the left, Bruga? You take that one, I will take the  one on the right..Listen...then try to open...Senuviel, stay in the middle, out  of the line-of-sight of the doors...be ready for anything...

Senuviel does as commanded.

Bruga goes to the door on the left and opens it. the only precaution he takes is to have the door partially shield him.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 137):

Kree your room consists of furniture stacked all about - do you go in and investigate?

Bruga, your room consists of a Dwarf - not anyone you know - He has an axe out i Chain mail - Well little thief, ready to die?

Bruga - I need a d10 init.  The Dwarf is advancing on you.

Actions?

  Kree will look around from the door way, before entering ( unless he hears from Bruga or Senuviel)

Rolled a 5.

No; not shriven.

OOC: If Senuviel can see the Dwarf, he's gonna cast his sleep spell on the warrior.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 141):

Kree you hear nothing about Bruga.  You see jumbles of furniture but some table legs catch your eye in the corner - they look like some type of elaborate designed legs for a table.

Senuviel you do not see the Dwarf as you are not able to see in the room and no one has shouted anything, yet

Bruga, go ahead and make your action (run, attack, talk, call out for help or order more tea)?   The Dwarf looks ready to pounce but you are quicker this round.

Good afternoon. Sorry about the noise...my name's Bruga Honeyfinder; what's yours? Please notice that I'm not releasing this stone. We have things to talk about; for example, saving our lives.

  he  steps slowly in, looking  for anything moving....

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 144):

Kree, as far as you can tell there is nothing moving in this room.  Just the odd table legs and other ornate looking furniture.

Bruga, The Dwarf pauses and looks you over with a confused look on his face.  HE growls back at you in a rough Dwarven Voice - Grr, put your weapon down and tell me who you are or I'll make hamburger meat out of you.  He has his hand ready to draw for his Battle Axe.

Senuviel - you do hear a rough Dwarven voice rumble in the room Bruga is in but you hear no screams or anything from Bruga.

Actions

Senuviel slowly and carefully walks towards Bruga. The elf doesn't draw his sword. The words of his spell burning in his mind.

  He will continue to look about the room, to see what is there...

Bruga obediently stows his stone and sling. Uh, Bruga Honeyfinder, a locksmith and a sometimes-ept adventurer, at your service...depending on your intentions. I have two companions are are epter than I. They tend to think before acting, though they then act with effect.

  Kree  will move  some of the objects  around, look into drawers and such, all the while, looking  for  hidey holes  and such..........

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 149):

The Dwarf hurmphs, locksmith you say, Bruga err.  Call me Grum. Two more, hhmm.  Best tell me why you are here then?

Kree, you find no hidy holes, secret things - just lots of furniture of all types and designs.

Senuviel, You see Bruga talking to a burly Dwarf in Chain.

Senuviel cautiously approaches the dwarf. Hail, noble warrior. Are you the guardian of this place? Says the elf as he bows to greet the dwarf.

  Kree will make his  way out  and head across the hall...

Honorable Grum...now that your axe and my neck are not nodding acquaintances..., my companions can tell you better than I. Suffice to say that we think we have a task that will twart some evil, and a minion of that evil, I guess, entered this house.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 153):

Looks about, Evil you do not say. Well I took one out earlier, a devil of a sneaky lizard dog if you ask me.  Took a bolt in the back from em to start with.  Looks again at the group, you three do not look like you would be hanging with Lizard Dogs, would ya???

Bruga shrugs. Well, I'm uneaten. But your back...does it need tending to?

Senuviel, a stern look in his eyes, says: I don't know what you're talking about, noble warrior. I've never seen a Lizard Dog before, and I've lived for quite a time, already.

  Kree came Up behind  Senuviel, catching the last remark,..Lizarddogs....Dwarf-folk call Kobolds that.... his eyes  study the dwarf, with the  Bow..seemingly..unready, he  would  seem to pose  no threat..however....

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 157):

YES, that is what you city folks call them.  So, you are hear to do what again?  I have more of my clan stuck about's this city street also looking for stuff.  What by chance are you looking for and by whom sent you?

  Kree  chuckles  at the words " cityfolk". The he looks to  Bruga and nods for him to extend the talk.

Bruga blushes but stands up to his full height...impressive height, if one is a halfling. He then fills the dwarf in on what's happening....

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 160):

Hugh, sounds like the same thing from us except it was a sneakier man meaner wanting these items he said they should be here.

hhmm, what you say we combine our clans and see about these two people.  I hate playing games and maybe we can play the game on them.

Three days was our tine limit.

Smiles, so did you guys find anything out of the ordinary in this place anyhow?

  Kree looks around and shakes his head,..us..being in this  place is odd....and now  we needs find what we seek..and perhaps..find the  fellow i wish to sink my blade into.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 162):

The DWarf chuckles, yes it is odd to be here, yes we should join and find whatever each was suppose to get, I am thinking they are one of the same and I'l add an axe blade for you to whomever you wish to slice up.

Lets finish looking about in this building and be off to the next.

  Kree  smiles  with  a nod to Bruga,..Lead the way,,I have rear Guard...

In reply to Clair Brandywhine (msg # 48):
Recap for ytou all =

The story reads from the mage women hwho has changed and aged:

Three days ago, time was different around here.  I was not as I am now nor was I who I was then.  A change has happened, an alter of time has occurred. A chance to right the wrong and wrong the right.  Your companion master Bruga gifted me three days, time I need.  she takes a long breath and you can definitely hear it fill her lungs like you have heard from dying men taking there last breath before.

She begins speaking again, There are 10 houses in the ally way of time.  This is the first house, find the puzzle pieces from each house and finish the puzzle for me, that is your quest, you will have three days less one second to complete the task.  If you do not finish in time, what little you saw at the inn will be what is to be and what was suppose to be will not be.

She shudders and takes another long breath, What I do you cannot do, but i can help you out, that is if you trust what I say is right.  From the Gypsee camps warlock, a drink was made, it will help you step out of time, but only once.  The Gypsee's name was Mulligan, and he gave it to me for he foresaw a time where I would need it.  Alas, his time was up before I could get much else out of him.

She takes another long breath and this time you notice she phased to a foggy image then back.  Oh, my time is running and so is yours.  Senuviel Alantir, if you want to get back to your real time, trust in me, take from the lad the drink to use in dire time and from the other lad the first piece of the puzzle.  Go find the other 9 but be careful, others want to stop you now that you have opened up time to them too.

She sits heavy into the chair staring into space, her eyes do not look like they see anymore.  The one lad to your left calmly stands and produces a small vial and offers it to you Senuviel while the other lad to the right stands and offers his out.   You notice one is larger then the other.

So you have a small bottle with one drink in it and a lad with one larger hand - this came out of building #1.  You are in the second building looking for puzzle peices to make somthing.  Kree searched one room and found odd items incuding chair legs that looked like roman numbers and this room had a freindly Dwarf willing to help along with his companions which you ahev yet to see.

Actions, do you recheck all the rooms in this building? Go to another building? or waht - remember time is ticking.

14:14, Today: Bruga Honeyfinder rolled 94 using 1d100. Find Traps etc.
14:14, Today: Bruga Honeyfinder rolled 5 using 1d6. Find Secret Doors.

Bruga dutifully goes through the rooms looking for, and not finding, any secr4et doors or traps.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 166):




Nope, did not find any.  You have an empty room donstairs where you killed that old man, the room the Dwarf was in, and the room with odd furnature in it namly odd designed table legs and some odd carved tables.

The Dwarf looks at Bruga, well, anything?  hhmm, what oddities in this room - looking over the items.  Well, what are you looking for?  Oddly nothing in there looks like what I am after, though I was not given details just when i find something to take it  back to - he describes a building on the other side of the allyway - Build #10.  Though he looks at the young lad from the buiding with the old mage in it is waiting at the front door for you all.  Who is he?

Actions?

21:45, Today: Bruga Honeyfinder rolled 83 using 1d100. Used Furniture Dealer.

Bruga examines the furniture for any disassembly or drawers, etc. He fails to find anything.

  Kree keeps watch,  he will look about  for hidden doors and the like, as well as traps, but  will foucs on not being surprised.

Senuviel gets his bow ready, knocks an arrow and covers Bruga.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 170):

The Dwarf watches with slight interest as Bruga goes through the furniture - Shrugs and asks once Bruga is through,

Little Bruga, what about those table legs you pushed into the corner, they look odd to me, bring them over if you please ?


Actions

Uh, they're heavy. Have some stuff, maybe writing on them. Anyway, I'm no good here.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 172):

The Dwarf moves over and examines the iron legs - hhmm, odd, these look like an old form of number system, this is a a 5, that is a um a 7 and oh yes, this is an 8.  Interesting -  So what puzzle do we have here??

Anything else friend Bruga?

Acitons?

Bruga looks around and starts counting objects or parts of objects he sees. While doing so, he says No 6. By the way, do you know why 6 is afraid of 7?

Senuviel sighs and facepalms at Bruga's joke. Rolling his eyes, the elf answers. Because 7, 8, 9; halfling. This is old. My grandfather use to tell this joke at dinner time. Senuviel chuckles but stays focused on his surveilling  of the area. The warrior/mage then addresses his elf comrade. Did you find anything odd or that can lead us to the solution of this puzzle, fellow Hunter?

Oh, well then...Why is 10 afraid of 9?
This message was last edited by the player at 01:19, Tue 27 Nov 2012.

You got me halfling, what's that?

..because..at ten..most things  blow up!

Oh, just wonderin'. Bruga looks to see if the floor is tiled.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 179):

lol, The Dwarf is not Amused by the jokes, he just shakes his head.

No the floor is wooden planks with no design that you can see.  Non of the other objects in the room catch your eye as different or out of place - well maybe the group in the room does but....

Actions - you have 3 iron table legs that are designed like Roman numbers, a young lad with one hand larger then the other that you think is still waiting outside and a very serious Dwarf with potential partners in other buildings/wondering around (from what he says).  It has been about 4 hours - near lunch time Bruga :)  you have 2 days and 19 hrs and 59 min left.  tic tic tic 10

  kree frowns, gather those  iron legs, and let us see what the odd lad wnats....then we may resume our search...

Bruga shrugs. Regrets. The numbers suggest nothing to me.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 182):

Assume no other change of plans - you all gather the three legs, go down and meet up with the lad.  The Dwarf seems anxious to move on.  The lad knows nothing other then to stick with your group.   Note: he is defenseless.

Actions - you are at the entrance to the building you just finished.

Do you go back to the old mage?
move on to another building?
do a song and dance routine in the middle of the street?

...let us go see the old man once more...then we shall move along.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 184):

DM? Old Man? Do you mean Old Mage?

oops..yep.

Bruga looks anew at the three legs. Maybe this is what we needed to gather. Lead on, Master Quickshadow.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 187):

Is that what you all do, go to the building where the old mage lady is at?

unless someone has  a better idea..Aye!

OOC: DM, please, are the potion containers of different size? Don't remember that.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 190):

OOC :
each potion bottle is the same size and the group has

2 potions of healing - 2 doses each total of 4 doses
1 potion if healing - 2 doses left
1 potin of healing 2 doses left

1 dose = 1 clw (no 1/2 dose shoots)

Others may have potions on them too, plus magic items.  i'll check the char info and let each know what they have.

Look, we're supposed to collect stuff. Let's assume we've done a tenth and move on to the next house.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 192):

The Dwarf clears his throat, well, my group also was out looking for stuff, might we check on them too and see what they found before we go to that old lady mage you chatted about?


actions?

Go back to mage?
On to another house?
Run around screaming the end is near!!
Run around screaming all hail the GM is back lol
Just run around screaming - Clair end this so the GM can continue.
Quietly whisper to Clair, lets finish this first.

In reply to Clair Brandywhine (msg # 193):

Actions???

  Looking about Kree says,..let us go back to the Mage, if  we did not find what we  need, we can come back out.....

Aye! Let's keep moving on.

Bruga takes his companions by the hands (or beards) (or goes himself) to the next house and politely but loudly knocks/rings/raps on the door.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 197):

OK, Bruga goes to the next house down the ally way say house #3.

Kree do you follow or go back to house #1

Senuviel do you follow Bruga or wait to see what Kree does?

OOC - Sorry, just trying to make sure I know what each of you are doing/going.

 If  Bruga  goes the other  way, Kree will take the  table legs  and go see the Mage.

Senuviel follows Bruga.

In reply to Senuviel Alantir (msg # 200):

OK then.   Kree takes the legs and heads back to house #1.

Bruga, Senuviel and the Dwarf head to House #3.  The Dwarf looks about and mumbles, my group should be around here somewhere?

No one answers when you knock.

Actions.

Attempting to look like he owns the place, Bruga tries to open the door. If it's locked, he mutters Where's the key go? and takes out some small imllements and picks the lock, if any.

20:11, Today: Bruga Honeyfinder rolled 24 using 1d100. Pick Lock <= 75 needed.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 202):

The door opens as you push on it.  It was already opened just not 100% closed.

You look inside and see a grizzly sight, 3 Kobolds dead on the floor, a Dwarf and several barrels smashed about with spoiled (for normal peeps consumption) food scattered about the bllod, body parts and unknown liquid.  It looks like a really  strong enemy tore through this place and both the Kobolds and Dwarf.

The Dwarf with you gasps upon seeing the room and rushes past you trying to gather the pieces of the Dwarf babbling, Corneilus dam fool.  then places the remains of the dwarf back on the floor scanning the room.

There is a double door to the right side of the house, this area is the left side of the house.  There is blood stains on the door.

Actions Bruga an dSenuviel?

Kree, you find the door open and the other lad greets you upon entering, Master Kree, back so soon with all the puzzle .. oh, is that all you have? chuckles - I guess the others are out still looking?

Bruga goes to the double door and tries to open one (or them). He does so in a way the puts the door between him and whatever. If it doesn't open, he tries to pick the lock if possible.

  Kree  frowns a little as he looks at the lad,we had a  few problems....are these...indeed..puzzle peices?..the others  are looking..I wiull go back  and aid them..after i find out if these are parts or nay?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 205):

Kree-


The lad shrugs, they might be pieces to the puzzle, hard to tell but I would guess they are since I have never seen anything like before.  I would guess if you find other odd pieces like this then they are part of the puzzle.

Hands you back the legs,

Oh, I think you have competition out there looking for the puzzle pieces, I was told to wait here for whomever gets back and makes the puzzle first will live the others will .. shrugs not sure she never said what will happen.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 204):

The door is not locked and can be easily opened, reveling a sparse room with an Ogre sitting trying to open a barrel grumbling, dumb puzzle, stupid lady, me want ... and he turns to look at you.

Actions

  Kree takes the Legs  back as he talks, he  fixes them into his  pack and nod,..the opthers  will kill those who try to kill them...... He turns  and heads back in the direction of the others...

Following Bruga and not thinking twice as he sees the Orc, Senuviel shoots his arrows.

As he mumbles I guess that concludes negotiations. , Bruga doesn't get out his dagger and, when he can, begins circling around.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 210):

Senuviel shots his arrows and hits the OGRE - doing 9 pts damage.   Bruga started to circle the Ogre while the Dwarf charges berserker style swinging his axe like a mad man.

You get init as the Ogre was taken by surprise and has lifted the barrel over his head either protecting it or ready to throw it at the Dwarf.

Actions Bruga and Senuviel



Kree as you walk out in to the Ally way - you see three Dwarves carrying some stuff heading down the ally way at you when you hear a roar out of house #3.



Next round with your gain of first swing the Dwarf does 12 pts of damage on the OGRE which staggers but is still up.

Actions?
 Senuviel?
 Bruga?
Kree?

  Kree Poitns  at the Dwarves,..Hail!  Dwarves?..U think we have  a member of your group.... before he can finish, he hears the roar and Points to Building 3 "..There!"

  He runs  with all speed towards the Building,  ready to use blade or  bow...

Senuviel shoots 2 more arrows but they are unable to hit the target. His arrows hit the barrel.

OOC: 00:12, Today: Senuviel Alantir rolled 5 using 1d20. To hit with bow. Arrow 2.
00:12, Today: Senuviel Alantir rolled 6 using 1d20. To Hit with Bow. Arrow 1.

Bruga waves his dagger at the back of the ogre's knees.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 214):

Bruga did you attack him???  Please roll to hit.

I did and rolled a 4; with the +4, it was an 8. As far as I know, the THAC0 is 18 at best.

At least I didn't roll a 1.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 216):

The Ogre, badly wounded avoids the arrows and dagger thrust and smashes the barrel down on the Dwarfs head.   The Dwarf is still standing but his head is stuck inside the barrel as brownish liquid gushes out around his neck.    You hear gurgling then nothing as the Dwarf steps into another swing in the direction of the Ogre, he totally blind and possibly drowning but still standing.

Kree you and the other 3 dwarves enter the house and see in the room to the left, Bruga, Senuviel with a barrel on what looks like the Dwarves head and a really pissed but heavily wounded Ogre standing over the Dwarf as the Dwarf swings at him.  the Ogre is preparing to pound his fists onto the Dwarf head through the barrel.

Actions?

  with a thought, Kree takes  a few stpes forward to give himself  a line-of-sight, and begins to loose arrows  , aiming at the Creature's chest.




18:25, Today: Kree Quickshadow rolled 4 using 1d8. 2nd dam.

Bruga, seeing the arrows ready to come, drops to the floor.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg # 219):

ACK, what happen to my post?????????

You kill the Ogre, the 3 Dwarves have odd items, resembling parts of a clock, plus you legs.  The barrel has a face design in it matching parts to the pieces the Dwarf brought along.

Sorry, I had a much better description of the encounter but alas it got lost.

Actions??

Ask the Dwarves which houses they went to?
Go with what you have back to the old lady mage?
?

Bruga asks for any informaiton abut other houses anybody knows and will go to the next house.

And so on...deadlines loom.

As Burga  asks  about the Houses, Kree Motions to the Dwarves to show them what they have, then sets the items  on the ground moving pieces inot place to see what they have...

 ..Right then?  Anyone see anything missing...for  what we precieve this to be?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 222):

The Dwarves pull out,

1. Pieces to make a large frame the size of a door but the pieces of the frame have symbols on it like magic writing/ruins as to why the Dwarves took that.

2. A small silver box with a hand print and a large copper box with a hand print.

3. Candles that have magic ruins on it that also are shaped like 1, 2, 3, and 11.

4. A glass pen and ink set stuck to a plate with magic ruins on it that forms the number 10.

5. Putter mugs that have ruins on them that are shaped like 4, 6 & 9.

6. A box with ruins on the side that have rubies in it that form the number 12.

Kree you have the legs that look like the numbers 5, 7 & 8.

Bruga pull up the Barrel lid that has a face on it.

The young lad with one hand smaller than the other is standing with you.


The 3 Dwarves say this is all we found in the other houses in the ally way.  We lost 5 fellow Dwarves in the process so this better be good and look to the Dwarf with you for further instructions.


As Kree tries to place the objects together to make sense of the puzzle .....

everyone roll a D20

Senuviel looks at puzzle pieces. The elf looks confused as he turns to Kree. We also got the potions, don't forget them.

As Kree tries to put the puzzle together two pieces click in sync and then glow a bright flash fills the room and all of them will quite suddenly find themselves standing in front of the Golden Trumpet Inn. In his hand Kree will still be holding one of the puzzle pieces.

Senuviel tries to reason what's just happened. What the... He then turns to his fellow friends. Well, I guess it's time for us to find out what's really going on here, aye? The warrior/mage then draws his sword, ready his shield and enters the Inn as he says. Kree, cover me, will ya? Bruga, stay in the shadows.

Bruga stays in the shadows (reminding himself that someday he'll need to work on his tan).

  Kree  has  his bow ready, as he nods to Senuviel, that he is ready.

Senuviel abruptly enters the inn, sword in hand, shield at ready. He dashes through the door in order to give Kree space to shoot his arrows as in the same time he scrutinizes the place looking for their foes and the blasted elf slaver.

OOC: Now, dear GM, I think it's up to you. ;)
