Ardenas creases his brow for a moment, trying to recall if he's had his bowl of hot brown for the day, then shakes his head, grabs a bowl, and gets in line. | |||||||
Aoife player, 611 posts Leprechaun Priestess of Cerrunos Mon 26 Aug 2019 at 10:09 |
Aoife takes her tiny bowl and joins him. Half now, half later, she figures, will be plenty. | |||||||

An assortment of scurrilous characters areabout, including the star spangled Ludlow the mage... There are also two armed figures who greeted Mancini as he entered. | |||||||

Sederic will approach Ludlow, clearly a mage, and ask him about the ancient coins, and where they might be obtained... | |||||||
Mancini player, 256 posts Shrewd Guildsman, Rank 3 Charisma 2, Voice Tue 27 Aug 2019 at 15:04 |
As he entered two individuals asked Mancini about work. "There is always work at the Guild. Just keep your mouth shut and your ears open to find it", he replies , before finding his way to Ludlow and the other assorted associates. When he sees Ludlow Mancini's face sours briefly before turning unreadable once again. "Long time, no see, my friend." | |||||||

"This would be easier if they'd either put more meat in this stuff, or less. A little less and I could just eat it with a pretty clear conscience. A little more and I'd just find something else, or be sure to show up when the porridge is up." He looks at the tiny pile of tiny meat bits beside his bowl. "I never should have let Master Rethki talk me into becoming vegetarian." | |||||||

"Master Rethki said it would help with my magic, but now I think it was just an elf's version of a practical joke. "Master Albrecht never said anything about diet, other than constantly harping about balancing something he called 'carbs' against fats and 'protina' -- I never did get the explanation of what 'carbs' and 'protina' were, but there was a list of foods that provide each, and meat was on the 'protina' side. Lots of other stuff, too, though -- eggs, dairy, beans, nuts. So, as long as I get a chunk of cheese, a couple eggs, or a bowl full of beans of some kind every day, lack of meat won't weaken me. "And this hot brown has just enough to leave the taste, so every day I get my bowl and pick out the meat bits. "You want these?" | |||||||

The distractable mage looks up from the spread of colorful cards in front of him. "The primary thing which I know about coins, is that I require more of them to be entering my purse than departing. A situation that would encourage this circumstance is highly desireable, but I fear, not in the cards for me today... although the Devil seems to be." | |||||||
Grimaldi player, 488 posts Aralaise adventurer swordsman and wizard Thu 29 Aug 2019 at 06:54 |

Noting the strange coins the other arrivals were flashing around, Aoife wanders over and hops up on a seat. "I may have an idea where those coins came from...a shop I am actually looking for." | |||||||
Ardenas Barehand player, 1285 posts Human martial artist with a few spells on the side. Thu 29 Aug 2019 at 09:01 |

"Red goblins? I seem to recall Oly and me running across a couple of those, along with someone I remember as an elf, a few weeks ago when we were working with Mythos Songau. They were sculpting some black sand into columns and then the taller fellow did something magical and the stuff hardened. Seemed as if they were reinforcing the tunnel in that area. "Don't recall exactly where this was, but it was fairly close to the new lift platform Mythos built down there." | |||||||

Grimaldi player, 491 posts Aralaise adventurer swordsman and wizard Fri 30 Aug 2019 at 12:11 |
Grimaldi hesitated a moment, and grunted audibly. "I suppose I could...But I'm looking for work, and spectacles *Mancini* over there, doesn't seem so keen on sharing any news...So why should I help your group? I'll tell you this much though, I don't think they are related, but two separate phenomena." This message was last edited by the player at 12:13, Fri 30 Aug 2019. | |||||||

He leaned over to another member and ,after nonchalantly pointing at Sederic and Grimildi whispered, "What's the deal with those two? They seem useful pawns enough if you ply them with steady work, but can they be trusted?" (Ooc: Today: Mancini rolled 9 using 3d6. Current Affairs (Guild)- 15. Roll passes.) | |||||||

They seem reasonably reliable, they walked out on the late Broderick Liebert, but not during the expedition that left only a hired mage as a survivor. They avoid the more disreputable members of the guild, and recently did some simple guard work for Ashbury. Both are fighting spellcasters, and one has an apparently cursed sword that dances. | |||||||

Ardenas lifts his bowl to push the last of the hot brown into his mouth, then drops the bowl and spoon back on the table. he chews and swallows. "I'm not used to seeing very competent spellcasters with armor and swords -- I would have expected the lack of specialization to be a limiting factor." | |||||||
Grimaldi player, 493 posts Aralaise adventurer swordsman and wizard Sat 7 Sep 2019 at 15:04 |
Grimaldi replied, casually. "I'm a fair swordsman, and I rely on finesse, to win the day. I have many useful elemental spells. Spells useful for adventuring above and below ground,defensive spells, and more.. I know some about the undead. I know my way around the city, and I know how to get along in high society, and if the group needs to move discreetly, I can stealth along, or independently as needed.."

"However, I am confident of my ability to render him unconscious without killing, if I am protected from things I cannot parry or dodge long enough to get close. "It is also possible the one we seek is actually a demon of sorts, and killing his body on this plane may simply banish his spirit back to his home dimension until one of his minions is able to summon him back. As such, he is likely to be resistant or immune to damage done by common weapons." Ardenas lays a silver knuckleduster on the table. "Sederic, I understand your sword is magical? What about you, Grimaldi?" | |||||||
Sederic player, 318 posts half elven sword mage Sun 8 Sep 2019 at 11:34 |
"Hmmm. My sword is magical, and I am yet to meet something it does not harm. But not killing it is rather a...complication. Perhaps my best use is to deal with any allies he might have then. I am not big on the whole capturing demons idea though." | |||||||

"Nay, I do not possess any special weaponry, yet.. I can cause my sword to blaze with flames, and I have some nasty lightning spells. Demons aren't my forte', but any minions shouldn't be a problem for what I can deal out.. Most things that cross us tend to wind up dead. I'd hate for Sederic and I to be considered liabilities on your little endeavor here, but fair warning...Money is always a great motivator for overcoming our bloodlust."

Ardenas moves over to Mancini, lowers his voice and leans close to one ear. "Listen, I think we can do better. These two guys have magic and weapons -- one has magical weapons! Ludlow's too well known, too -- a half-blind idiot could spot that hair." | |||||||

"It seems Ludlow has decided not to honor our agreement. That will have to be with later. For now, and it being on such short notice, I am not disinclined to using the two spellswords. However, I did kind of want to see how they fought in mock combat. I never buy a cow without sampling the milk." | |||||||

He looks around for a second, and not immediately seeing his favorite guard, comments, "Say, have you seen him? Usually, I can spot him, even in disguise, but I haven't seen him since we left the cultists second lair..." | |||||||
Norman player, 16 posts Guard Sun 15 Sep 2019 at 15:23 |
Norman steps out of the kitchen, a bowl of hot brown in his hands. He looks at the others, "What?" [Private to Mancini: you can always direct him] This message was last edited by the GM at 16:17, Mon 16 Sept 2019. | |||||||
Mancini player, 263 posts Shrewd Guildsman, Rank 3 Charisma 2, Voice Sun 15 Sep 2019 at 21:09 |
He quietly informs Norman of his idea of testing Sederic and Grimildi in mock combat before accepting them in the group. "What do you think? Or do you know of a better way of testing the two? I just don't want myself or anyone else killed by these cultists and their dark desire," he said so that only Norman and Adrenas could hear. | |||||||
Norman player, 17 posts Guard Mon 16 Sep 2019 at 16:24 |
To speed the plot along: Norman escorts both men down to the arena, where they spar for several minutes, and then return. He tilts his head first toward Grimaldi, and then a little later to Sederic. "This guy is as good as I am. The one with the fancy sword is better. I have no idea how to gauge their spellcasting, but I guess they would be middle range, as neither has any guild standing beyond 'No Hassles'." | |||||||
Mancini player, 264 posts Shrewd Guildsman, Rank 3 Charisma 2, Voice Tue 17 Sep 2019 at 09:37 |

Sederic gives a start, obviously not having noticed the small Leprechaun. "Well then, little one. You have something to chop up, I am your man! Lead the way...no, I am pretty sure I was born here. Say, do all Leprechauns have a pot of..." The sudden glare from the smaller creatures ends that sentence right there. | |||||||

"In fact, I think the only one among us without some sort of magical ability, now, is Norman. Not sure what Mancini's thing is -- I didn't think he was a priest, but I saw him cast an exorcism not long ago. You two both have some magic, and I have just a little bit of Movement college -- not really my forte, but Master Albrecht said I should get trained once he detected I had the talent." He looks around suddenly, almost as if startled. "Wait, then there's Oly. But it's almost magical the way he can sneak around." | |||||||

He pauses for a second. "We definitely need to even the score if there is a demon in the mix. While we deal with the shop, I suggest we find some items to get Kalima back to this realm. Aoife, you still have that silk Kalima wanted on order? Also check out the area near the Temple Hill to see if anyone is worshipping Kalima's panthenon."

Outside, drawn by the explosion and smoke, a group of eight or nine approach; they are a motley group, mostly human, and including an armored orc, a green haired elven archer with a dog, another archer, a priest with a bladed staff, and a handful of others. The alleyway is more decrepit than others, and has some layers of graffiti. The building the smoke is coming out of is a shuttered tavern has an old sign that says "splithoof's" A few people down the unevenly cobbled street glare from their doorways. One looked like he was raising a switch to a child, but has become distracted by the noise and the arrival of the newcomers.

The odd hooded figure holding a glowing crustal rectangle and a gnarled staff points the tablet at Kalima. It has a number of odd devices at its belt, including a blown glass item with wires inside of it, a peculiar knife, and a greenish bladder. The subject of his interests, the celestial drmon slayer, is seven feet tall with four arms, obsidian skin and flaming red hair; she is surrounded by a bmglowing bolden aura. She has protruding fangs, and three eyes, wears a silken red and gold sari, cral bracelets, a garland of marigolds, and carries a spear. The hooded one holds up its tablet. And presses a jeweld stud on it. There is a flash of light, and those standing behind it can see an image of kalima on the other side of the device. A stange voice echoes in everyone's head.

In his exploration, he communicated to us that there was a demonic summoning in this direction. At least that is what I understood from his mind pictures.

In retrospect, Nodwin makes a note... He had been perhaps too forthright in his approach, and may have exposed the group to danger.

When nothing happens, he draws himself inward, breathes deeply, and begins again. This time, when he reaches the point where he had stopped, he begins to rise slowly into the air.

"We were originally after a bunch of cultists, ones seeking to summon a deity of pure darkness, older than the ones most of us understand and/or Revere as divine", Mancini said. "We managed to stop the cultists, but in pursuit of other cells of this evil cult, we learned that some demons are seeking to give mortals powers in exchange for favors.

The way I've always read the "Seek" type spells, is they give the nearest most "ping" and then stop. In this case, he'd find the nearest gate open or closed within 30 miles. If there are no Gates (noting the excluded Gate) within 30 miles, he'll ping on the nearest open gate within 300 miles. Are you treating the Modifiers as Qualifiers? If so... he'd be looking for the nearest "Open" Gate, expecting that any extradimensional shop that is "open for business" would have it's "door open".
If however you mean "you've found a handful of gates in active/deactive states, please clarify Distance and State of Openness and cast again"... than he'll continue slowly circling and refocus thusly: 13:47, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 15 using 3d6. Seek Gate 15. Open Gate, Nearest, Excluding the Bone Gate. Soooo... 0 MoS, he's good to pinpoint out to 200 yards.

Taking Jareth's information to heart, the four armed celestial steps to the door to the smoldering tavern and sniffs deeply.

"In his last mind picture, before we came here, the Ymid showed me a casting performed by grotesque people and flaminging demons, where they tried to bring a celestial into this town. Something about a divine servitor spirit fleshed in human sacrifice. Of note, he seems to have used the real names of the actual demons as footnotes. Can you verify this, and does the information help you at all? Can you expound on the information he provided? I assume this might be an area where you have expertise? Is it safe to guess that the multi-limbed image I also saw was you?" OOC Nodwin will offer up all the information he has on that mind picture, clarifying details as necessary. [Private to Nodwin Zideqick: the runes are the true names of demons, with bodies touched by flame, and bound by magic. The grotesqueries are human. The mathematical construct is an elder servitor's spirit, clad in the likeness of flesh by the sacrifices of its worshipers.

"I, at least, know next to nothing about you. Yet you seem to be enemies of the doomchildren, which makes you decent folks at least in that respect.

The three-dimensional figure drawn by the Ymid appears to indicate relative distanve between gates, all of which are within the city somewhere, and several are below ground , but without the context of say, an overlaid city map, it would be difficult to picture where, and this creature seems not to be overly concerned with Euclidean geometry. | |||||||

@Nodwin and company: you are about a quarter mile from home. Once out in the street, which shows definte signs of demonic oppression (the behavior of the locals, an unseasonable chill, the tendency of shutters to open slowly on their own, the faint reek of sulpher,), there are other signs; A scattering of dog turds laid out in a triangle with the longer angle pointing toward a couple of charcoal marks on the wall, in the same language as evil runes.

"It's a well known fact in religious circles. There are none so blind as those who choose not to see. You can lead people to the truth, and even explain it to them in detail. However, if their minds are not open, and if their heart is hard, it will not matter. You can't make them believe. And what people choose to believe dictates what they see, and how they interpret their surroundings. It's a sort of circle we must contend with daily as religious leaders. I didn't notice these signs myself when we arrived at the tavern, so I was just as blind to them as the townsfolk are now. Yet, after seeing what the Ymid showed us, and observing Kalima, I am now more sensitive to these signs. I never had to concern myself with such things before." | |||||||

As said. Getting everyone on the stairs takes a minute, the chalk door was open in 30 seconds. Definitely by the chalk: Mancini, Norman, Ymid. Peobably waiting still: Brodak, Mellaril, Jocelyn. Top of stairs: Sederic, followed by Grimaldi, Clarence, and Kalima. Kalima going up would slow things down, she is large. | |||||||

Occ Mancini was pming about actions. The books and curios are very attractive some are books omn all manner of topics, and there are many items that seem desireable, jeweled combs, fine looking knives, gilt cups, things that would make anyone's jealous heart pound... some Seem cheap but ornate, however. At the top of the stairs, Sederic can see a handsome fellow behind a counter with shelves behind him loaded with all manner of enticing oddments. A fellow looking like a goblin is also behind the counter, putting something on a shelf. | |||||||

"I am a simple businessman who runs a shop." To the chalk squad: You meander through the curving aisles of overstocked shelves. You can hear muffled voices, and see a yellowish looking goblin loading brightly colored cylindrical items onto a shelf from a basket.

Grimaldi is at the front of the shop, the chalk squad somewhere in the back aisles. There are, however, many interesting items on the shelves nearest to him, including a taxidermy monkey's paw inside a glass dome, a number of animal figurines, along with a great many figurines that resemble sahudese or desi deities, and a number of elaborately inlaid ornate boxes with insets of brass, silvet, and mother of pearl. Another shelf holds metal cylinders with a wide screw top on one end, and another holds some sort of thick whitish wands with some sort of lanyard hanging from them... There is also a display of potion bottles and jars of pastilles, and a few racks of weapons, many of which a cruel looking, but others are beautifully decorated. On the same rack are some other things you are not sure of, small black or silver l shaoed tubes, some with what look like an ivory or mother of pearl grip, and beside them are boxes of narrowbrass and silver cylinders with pointed or domed ends. | |||||||

Clarence, coming up behind Jareth, holds the lantern high, illuminating the room as they approach. He is not really sure what they are doing here, but he is following along anyway. Jareth seemed to be the strange creatures friend, and now that creature had found something that seemed nearly as strange, also with a group of adventurers, and they seemingly were traveling with them, perhaps out of morbid curiousity, to a shop that seemed to not really be here. It all hurt his mind to think about this. So much magic. So many strange things. What was real, what was not. And then they told him he could not travel the street with his giant spider. It was not magical. Spiders were nice. They ate pests, like rats. They could make curtains for you that could trap intruders. What was there not to like about them? The world was getting stranger, no doubt about it. He began his work holding a light for people that killed pests, but things were getting more weird by the day. And so he approached the top of the stairs...following some of the strangest creatures he had every heard of...included amoung his allies!

"Why, yes we do... right next to Mr. LeBial's gambit, the silver chased ebony puzzle box set with mother of pearl on the shelf over there." Jareth, make a roll, and hope you get a low result (as if it were a critical failure roll) Through the glass door you can see smooth gray pavement with a stone border, dropping down to a less smooth black pavement, seamed and cracked with patches and potholes and scattered with some debris. To one side of the door is a large wooden pole (really an upright barkless log) by this curb, with some scraps of parchment pinned to it. To the other side, you can see some kind of metal conveyance, as it is resting on odd looking wheels. Accross the black pavement anothe of these conveyances is stationed, painted mostly in yellow with a lantern on its roof. Beyond that are a number of glass fronted brick edifices, some with glowing red writing, and others with brightly colored signs.

Sederic needs no further direction. Hearing Kalima say there was a demon his eyes quickly followed hers to the running goblin, and he took off after it like a projectile, sword ready to be sated. He probably should stop when it left the room, if it got that far, but he will only stop when he strikes it with his blade.. | |||||||

One, we definitely don't want to aid those spreading mischief in these parts by allowing an easy source of supplies. Two, it is said the easiest place to hide something is in plain sight. Just because most of these things seem mundane, though curious, doesn't mean they all are. Do you know what all the items are, or all possible uses? Three, this place is pure chaos. Chaos is like a forever splitting fire. You put one bit out, and another flame springs to life. Even if you manage to put it out, the devastation is massive. Not to mention that while you have been dealing with the fire, your defenses have been left underprotected from the forces of evil." He turns towards Clearance, voice still low, "The original plan was for me to enter with a few more unsavory types and place a locator within the shop.

"The potion is otherworldly, and relieves itching, swelling, and anaphalaxis, offering relief from allergic symptoms, but may cause drowsiness. Do not operate heavy mill machinery or clockworks." Mancini sees the value of such an item, as being roughly the value of a healing potion, and ideal as something to make use of when entering an area with itching smoke. Norman successfully creeps behind him. Meanwhile something slams open the back door, and the metallic, musky and sour scent becomes stronger. Even with her bloodshot, watery eyes and runny nose, Kalima starts sniffing at it purposefully, and readies her spear. | |||||||

"Hey, none of that talk in here!" The storekeeper is slightly distracted by Mancini, and by Norman snatching him around his arms. Oly can filch any of the items under thr counter I mentioned (or pickpocket the bracelet) Meanwhile, Mario's arrow strikes true, but rebounds from the demon's belly with a loud Clang! His hide is like steel! Immediately after, he is obscured by pearlescent mist, as are Aoife and Kalima. | |||||||

[Private to GM: Remember he has a Sunbolt in his hand, conjured a few rounds back before he went through the door. It seemed prudent for him to just hold on to it, given everything. He will continue to do that for now. As the player, I know all hell has broken loose. Nodwin is getting oriented to the current state of crazy.] | |||||||

The demon is on the far side of the mist. You said centered on you and Kalima, that gives you only 3 yards without including the demon. That leaves the rest of the group on the other side of the mist, and they cannot see through it, so until the demon goes around the mist or through, he is obscured by it, and the assorted two to three yard high shelves. Oly is able to slip the bracelet off the shopkeeper's hand as he struggles with Norman. | |||||||

The tentacles, like treeroots, stiffen as the rear wall of the pentagram room slams into the doorway and struggles to push its way through.the walls and floor are starting to warp, and the shelves are shaking odd items loose. Sederic sees Meikka beside him, and as he reaches for it a jar falls and splashes on him, and his hair becomes lusterous and grows about hslf a foot, including facial hair and his eyebrows and lashes are quite bushy now, giving him -1 to vision rolls. The floor under Jareth is becoming soft and stretchy like a loose trampoline. So far the chalk doorway and the door with the free floating stairs are largely intact, but the glass is cracking on the third portal. The small demon, looking bruised and dazed struggkes to its knees, and glares at Kalima. The large, greviously injured demon attempts to ready his polearm for a second swing at the four armed celestial. The Ymid pockets a few items, and presses a jewel on its tablet, causing a bright flash near the assorted oeople who came through the gate.

each of you make a DX roll. you all get something success is 2 items, good crit is 3, (bad crit is something that injures you...) then roll for quality, like a reaction roll for each item, and also a weirdness magnet check for each item for those that have it. As to the "nearest door" folks are departing by the doors they came through - a dex check for anyone unencumbered, and a dodge roll may be needed for those who grabbed loot or shopkeepers to get out safely at this time through any of the three. The chalk door is narrowing, the free floating steps are wobbling, and the brass and glass door is cracking and buckling. make your rolls and post'em and we will sort out the results. | |||||||

He shifts his gaze to Kalima. "I can't claim to fully understand your need to hunt demons, and you've probably been doing it longer than any of us has been alive, with the possible exception of that elf lady in the group that joined up with us. But when you let hunting demons overtake any attempts at subtlety, you might wind up getting us mortals killed. "I don't know what happens to you if some demon overpowers you and cuts your heart out or lops off your head -- but we humans would die. Our spirits would be separated from our bodies and wind up wherever our beliefs and life actions send them. And for us, it's permanent. Forever." He turns to Sederic.

"That's probably my fault. People respond well to me, but I'm a healer not a soldier, or tactician. The floating magical shop was beyond what I had seen before, and most of my time there was just trying to get my bearings. Instead of organizing my group, my curiosity got the best of me. I saw all the novelties and that strange hunter type, and the distractions proved to be too much. Now that we are all out, and safe, what are our current plans? I assume we should examine the items we retained to make sure none of them are dangerous? And then probably take our friend to the Hadereum." Nodwin then leans his staff against his shoulder while he pulls out crystal ball containing a small castle with snow that falls when you shake it. "This items seems safe, but I don't know if the image inside is real. Maybe it contains another little room like the place where we just visited? I would not have thought that an hour ago, but now I have to consider all the possibilities." In his other hand, Nodwin pulls out a lightweight metal cylinder with a screw cap at the wider end. "And I don't know what this does at all. Perhaps I should unscrew it and look, but i was hoping one of the people with more experience could look at it first." OOC Are there any markings on the cylinder? In my mind I'm picturing one of those old 1950's cigar cases, is that accurate? | |||||||

With a Theology or Occultism roll, and something to investigate (like an item, or an altar, or runes, etc), anyone can determine the general nature of the Curse, once they're sure it is Cursed. And using Exorcism, anyone with Holiness* can try to remove the Curse, the long slow hard way. This takes 3 hours. Specifically Clerics† can pray over Blessed/Cursed Items (or areas) to determine the specifics of the Blessing/Curse. This is how most adventuring parties identify Holy magic items... it takes 4 hours and a Religious Ritual skill check. A critical failure while identifying a Curse triggers it on the Cleric. * Power Investiture (Holy) counts as Holiness for any test that requires Holiness. † I've seen GMs allow Holy Warriors who have Clerical Investment also do this. For Mages, Magery imperfectly 'detects' magical items and shifts in the magical area. And of course they have very specific spells for Detecting and Analyzing Magic. They have no way to detect curses except to "Barbarian it". | |||||||

Clarence has a silver hand mirror, which he can tell is magical. His reflection looks pretty good. Mancini has a worn leather wallet with a brass zipper closure. Inside is a greasy piece of wax paper wrapped around half a sausage. The silver chased, velvet lined ebony case contains a diamond necklace that looks to have a base worth of $10,000 Nodwin's cylinder has something faintly off about it. The snowglobe with the castle would be valuable for the quality of the glass alone, never mind the rest of it. The base has a plaque that says "Neuschwanstein" https://images.app.goo.gl/Rso7VrDhwrz1s92d7 Jareth's case contains a rosewood device inlade with silver, mother of pearl and ivory that looks like the stock of a crossbow without the bow. Also in the velvet lined case is a horn with a strap and a silver lid, a rod and brish, and a velvet bag with six spheres made of a strange iron. In addition to the bracelet with miniature enameled shields, Oly has a slim black book, two scrolls and a wooden case containing a small fine silver knife, and a matching silver pen.

OOC Thanks for the pointer Jareth. Nodwin has Power Investiture (Holy), and after a re-read your interpretation looks correct. I always thought this was more a function of True Faith, but in retrospect that looks like a misinterpretation.

Technically if Jareth fondles everything he could tell if it's got any Squid on it... and I suspect Aoife could lick everything and tell if it's got Bunny in it. :P gwythaint? That's what four rolls (against a 17) when Jareth pulls stuff out of the leather satchel to see if it's got team Squid in it? | |||||||

"No, I don't think it was like that. I believe it was more like some sort of transit station for their kind. The demon is no more because of Kalima and Aoife's efforts to keep it from escaping before the Eldritch came and devoured it along with the pocket dimension. But, the goblin, most likely moved on to wherever it fled." Mancini smiled ruefully.

Also, he will comment over his shoulder "I can come with you to see the Hadereum. They are religious people, and I am always happy to build connections with the appropriate bureaucrats. I still have a few details to clean up with them after assisting with these tasks." OOC Nodwin is young and a bit innocent, so he probably would not realize the dual nature of his comments... [Private to GM: Let's see, Nodwin just helped destroy a magic pocket dimension which was allowing demons to portal into the very neighborhood he was supposed to recover and protect. I would think that he should be able to lobby for "duty free" for all the healing potions the flock of Vejovis produce, or get some sort of legal status for their little neighborhood, or something else very cool. Mind you, that will take points I don't yet have to spend on the character, but it seems very worthy of at least something.] | |||||||

Nodwin's eyes get big. he pushes the thing out to the end of his reach, and his jaw twitches for a second, as if he wants to say something. He cocks his head and swallows, and then wipes the shocked look off his face as he looks at Jareth and asks "What the hell is this thing???" OOC Nodwin's personality profile says he should handle this reasonably well. However, he's a young kid, and has seen a lot over the last 24-48 hours. And, he has no experience with the ladies. This object has content he isn't comfortable with in himself, much less in an object. I went for 'limited freak out'. | |||||||

"Are you sure it is your ass it kisses? Some people might like that I spose...this mirror don't seem quite right, somehow..." He looks into it to try to work out why... | |||||||

Mellarill looks at Clarence as if he had just developed a horn ... No Dipstick, it don't kiss yer ass an' I damn sure I would nay kiss it! I'd kiss me own ass first and that'd be a pain ta do. You slo' er sumpin'? | |||||||

"That mirror may be playing with your mind, Clarence. Using your native vanity to draw you into something. That shop was connected with demonkind in some way, after all." Suddenly Mario's eyes get big and his hand goes to his quivers. "Crap! I'm down a silver arrow, wasn't time to look for it after it bounced off that demon. I need to get a bottomless quiver for those, but I'll probably never have the scratch to buy one." | |||||||

"If I don't look any different it probably does. That is what I was trying to work out." He puts the mirror away. | |||||||

He looks up at the sky to check the time by moon or bright stars -- or by the clock in the cathedral tower, if it's visible from here. "They're hunting demons? And doing it with a four-armed, three-eyed woman with flames for hair. Hope they've got their definitions straight." | |||||||

OOC I think we have basically completed our task, correct? Wouldn't the next step be back to the Junior House, or did we have another objective that I missed? | |||||||

You arrive safely at Junior house. Nodwin realizes that his presence at the Hadereum with the other group might do some good in acquiring more base for the church and team. | |||||||
Nodwin Zideqick player, 564 posts Initiate of Vejovis FP:7/13 HP:10/10 Tue 21 Apr 2020 at 20:05 |
OOC I had volunteered a number of posts back, because I thought exactly the same thing. Nodwin will hustle off to rejoin the other group when they arrive at the Hadereum. They should move slower with Kalima and a prisoner to escort. Let me know when I can start posting there. I don't know who has the best Merchant skill in the group. Nodwin will handl off to them if he knows that someone is skilled. Otherwise it will be Jareth, as he probably knows the most about the items as a Sage type. | |||||||

Clarence really has little idea about magic items, though he does try to learn some details. For now,. He just is glad to get back and see his arachnid friend, and he takes any food for him he can find on the way. | |||||||

"There were some items of interest. This device... has a purpose I cannot fathom...it is not magical, but may be somehow religious in nature " It displays a small red and green device with a garishly painted tin sphere on one side of the end. It presses a trigger on on side, and the sphere spins and opens like a whirling flower,buzzes, shooting red sparks and revealing a small statue of a gnome with a red pointed cap and red and white clothing, carrying a sack. A moment later, the sparks and noise stop and the sphere closes. "Then there is this fish... definitely an anomaly. It seems to allow for native level audio interpretation. Also, not of my kind. Such a thing must have been celestially created... and is therefore a foundation of the anti-ontological argument, and proof that the gods do not exist." Having put away the noise and spark maker, and withdraws a clear bladder of water, containing a small yellow fish. "This device, with the inscription 'Ronco' seems to perform all manner of vegetable preparation, it has five blades and an olive pitter. Interesting engineering."

"The fish translates? And the thing with the blades, yes, I can see that. And the spinner's religious?" He scratches his head. "Never seen anything like any of them. There's a stall down in the Artisan market that sells what they call 'prayer wheels', but you just spin those with your hand, they don't have any mechanical parts and they don't open up like that." | |||||||
