2 - 041: The Second Piece

[K Man]

Hero, Garor, Callian, Angelus, Caelith and Newt - Looking around, there doesn't appear to be much activity outside of Cannon's Foot, its inhabitants apparently quite content with staying inside the confines of the massive wall.

None of the lookouts appear to have noticed you yet.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
Krysta, Girud and Galdren - The Queen listens intently to your designs and requests, leaning an all-to-eager ear to your pleas. She answers in turn.



"I am pleased at your quick logic warrior. You shall have the elite eight of the Elven army to aid you, two scouts with the keenest of eyes and as for the knights, well you can ask them to accompany you as you see fit."

"For the magic, to teleport and return as necessary, we must send those of the arcance schooling over our priests and clerics. Though our divine can easily move over vast expanses quickly, they are limited to the woods and trees..."

"It is to this end that we shall ensure you have access to our vaults to stock all of your bags with healing so that the arcane casters can focus on spells to aid, enhance and damage those in your path."

The Queen addresses the solidity of the crystals.

"We have already exhausted that option warriors, the crystals, near as we can tell, are indestructible. We originally planned to break the original crystal into a thousand shards or more and send our army to meet The Master face to face, but when our greatest resources failed, we abandoned that plan. I assure you, there is no way to seperate these crystals. Interestingly enough, our sages still puzzle over how they were torn apart in the first place...but alas, that is a story for another day."

"Warriors, mages and scouts you will have and we will laden your bags with magical healing. Just bring me the crystals..."

You wonder if anything further needs to be addressed with the Queen. Mordrock and the Knights at the temple will have to be alerted to the plan...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuri, Sehanine and Romar - Yuri leaps on the last remaining Derro, bringing his fists upwards. [Attack Roll = Nat. 20! Crit Confirm, Success!] The Derro falls hopelessly beneath Yuri's grasp, the teeth sunken cleaning into his neck. [Damage Roll = 5+6+2 = 13] The Derro falls lifelessly to the floor, Yuri still attached to his neck.

[Romar, no need for a Spot Roll, Yuri made no attempt to hide the killing.]

The hallway is no empty, littered with three dead bodies and one unconscious one of a Derro..each with a glittering gem in their forehead.

You wonder what to do next...

(Sorry I was gonna post over the weekend but things came up)

Angelus looked around at his surroundings and closes his eyes as his mind is bombarded with memories once more. "Come it is not that far from here." He turns away from the awesome sight of the town and points to a forest. "It was there and hopefully it still is." He seems abnormally withdrawn as he starts to move toward the forest.

[Merovingian]

Without much else to do follow the sulking wizard.

[BluSpecs]

Garor follows the wizard on the lookout for anyone who may be watching them

Spot +3

{Updated for all you BOYD hungry players!}

[Hero]

Hero follows her prisoner.

[Fangor the Fierce]

"Your kindness at granting us the aid of your elite warriors is most welcome. The knights will be spoken to as well, to see their views and interest at having a part in destroying the Master. The map, will each of us be entitled to one of the maps, or is there only one map? As for the healing, any help would be welcome. But I must ask one more thing. Our current gear was adequate in granting us safe passage here. But with our new venture north, to the Master's doorstep as it may seem, we would be interested in gearing up for this enormous task and may need as much protection as we can receive. Are there any stows of weaponry, armour or other gear that we may have access to prior to leaving this grand city?"

Fumbling in her belt pouch, she procures the small purple gem that was found amongst the orcs near the river. "All that we can pay for this request is this mere gem. It's value is unknown to me, but it was found on one of the dead orcs that was slain on our journey."

She winces a bit, knowing that this small gem is probably not worth much, but shows that all that she may possess as payment for these kinds services rests in this one small gem. Knowing that the queen will probably throw the gem away, thinking it a trinket, she would rather show that her resolve is to pay for any services or goods that are given to her and her companions with whatever she has of value. After all, it's in her nature. She can not just stand by and take things without some form of payment. Sure, they may succeed in this new venture, and possibly have a new weapon with which to fight the Master with, but would she still intends on paying anything she can.

"One more thing your highness. It appears that the Master's army is full of orc, goblin and other such creatures. But it was also seen that they are all marked by his sign. And once we defeated them, they rose soon therafter as even stronger as undead hosts. I am sure you are aware of this, but would also like to know if there is any other way to stop these acts of maliciousness from bringing back his troops. I am sure with all your wisdom and resources, there may be a way to hamper the enemy forces that we are sure to meet."

OOC - She would like to be shown the armoury, smithy, and any other places that they may gain some items to aid them. Yeah, greedy at times, but she is human. And humans yearn for power as well. Plus, she is in this great elven city and there are sure to be some things that they can use... ;D

[Jevva]

Ah yes, Krysta once again says everything that needs to be said.

Galdren just nods

[GeneralMHB]

Yuri does nothing more than suck the Dark Dwarf dry, ignoring all around him in his blood-hungry frenzy.

[VemuKhaham]

Not considering the battle entirely done yet as Yuri seems to do, Romar bows down over the unconcious derro and takes his time to make sure he will remain 'asleep', hitting the derro on the head with his fist. He takes his silk rope and begins to tie up the dark dwarve.

As he does all the work it seems, he begins to get really out of patience with the vampire who shamelessly performs his sadistic ritual, right next to him. Not wanting to directly interfere himself, he decides to knock on the door without warning him, in the correct way the dwarves had told them to.

He looks to Yuri without emotion, nor does he make a move or say a word, but it is very certain that all he would want to do at this time is give in to his feelings of justice.

---

Automatic hit I believe, 1d3+3damage, non-leathal,
+3 use rope (I believe +2 for silk rope makes it +5, but I have no access to my books here at school to check it)

[TheUdjat]

Caelith moves with the group, taking out his longbow and an arrow to put it at the ready, eyeing the surroundings with keen elven eyes.

Or something like that. He's no ranger, but you get by with what you've got.

[Japic]

Krysta's pretty much got this. Hpefully we'll have access to what she asks. I do have some meager coin to offer as payment as well, but the Queen would probably just laugh at us.
