  1. Skrall pushed his way next to Karie, "Please pay no mind to the squabbling, we're here to help, Mam. Good to see some remnants of civilization still survive."
  2. "I'm sure your work was... unappreciated. Yeh, that's the place. As fer names, I'd suggest something simple and unmemorable if yer shootin' for stayin' behind the curtain and all that." "I know a book that could fix that for ya..."
  3. "Though what that way is, we may never know. Or wish to..." The ogre chuckled.
  4. "Southern Ennon originally, for the past 5 years or so, Eubric Freeport. So it all comes down to numbers then? Realism, something I can understand. Though why you're bothering to even spread this information when you have intentions of staying anonymous, beats me." The ogre paused at Lind's eloquent waxing and Jinnipher's questioning, "I'd think there wasn't enough meat nor conversation to satisfy the dragon."
  5. The Party decides to retire for the evening and after a restful night of sleep all awaken to the sounds of the bustling streets in the morning. Dumora is no where to be seen and the tavern is mostly bare though the cyclops barmaid is busy sweeping the floor.
  6. "Yeesh, ya know how many times I've heard that one? 'My plans are too incomprehensible for you to understand? Greater good and all that soddin' stuff.' Give it a break my good sir, ya may think ya have influence, but ya'll soon find yer just in the dark as the rest of us." Skrall shrugged and plodded on.
  7. "So he'd rather not take credit for his accomplishments or he fears interference?"
  8. "How tragic." Skrall shrugged his shoulders, "Sounds like he needs a better PR manager. How much further do we have?"
  9. "Dependin' on your point of view. And where exactly is here?"
  10. "Bit too convenient for my liking," Skrall grumbled. "Lead the way, Mr. Ex-arch angel."
  11. Skrall pockets his spent smoke bomb as the Party retreats from the dragon, "The question is who's the tyrant?" As the group moved through the woods and encountered the stranger, the Hunter made sure to down another mead. "There will be if ya mean to stand in our way."
  12. While there's no rule against it (and I don't think there should be) it might be considered "bad form" by other players if you're giving all your extra gold to your second character so they can advance more quickly. The possibility then exists for unbalanced parties where in one player is loaded to the gills with equipment and consumables because they're a second character, and the other is still scraping by because it's the player's first character.
  13. "Having jussst heard about it myssself, no." "A flask is at least 200 Gold. I'll be most interested if you track down the culprits." With that Nur heads back to the Rusty Mine-cart where he finds Tesni and Atramor still lounging about the tavern.
  14. "Huh, latch must of slipped." "And if you think facing a fully grown apparently explosive dragon head-on in there is a good idea, then you are incredibly naive. I'm surprisingly with Lind on this one, we should make for cover or at least a more defensible position until we're ready to come at the dragon on our terms. Any thoughts from the rest of ya?" The ogre looked expectantly around.
  15. Skrall opens the door as Jinnipher enters. Upon seeing the dragon, the ogre sighs and attempts to grab both Lind and Jinnipher by the collars and haul them out of the cathedral before closing the door quickly behind. "Now might not be the best time for a direct encounter."
  16. "Yes, something like thought projection, if that's what you want to call it. My brain simply exists on more than one plane of reality." The mind-flayer turns swirling a flask of purple solution. "The acid is terribly expensive, the amount stolen took me nearly a month to centrifuge. Quite potent stuff really, I doubt the cretins who stole it knew what they took, probably dissolved one of their arms off by now."
  17. Skrall closed the door behind Lind, he wasn't keen on letting any more fog out whatever was inside. The ogre walked over to the shrine and inspected the sword.
  18. Downstairs, Nur finds a Mind-flayer hard at work with a chemistry-set. The voice echoes again, though he keeps his back turned and his eyes on his work. "Hava, if you please. That idiot wouldn't know the difference between 50 Shades of Bley and Gone with the Winds." The alchemist continues mixing. "Alchemist's Acid, able to nearly dissolve any known material. A vial of it was missing the night the drill was stolen. Why an interest, you don't seem like a member of the city guard."
  19. Tesnii noted the Naga leaving with Nur as Ellaria headed upstairs to bed. The Dwarf in the corner and the were-lion throwing darts were trading lively insults back and forth as a Mouse-headed man enters the tavern and makes his way over to the shrouded figure. The two sit facing each other and quickly move their hands back in forth in quick gestures as if having some sort of conversation. Rip nods as the dwarf returns to his work on the machine. "Aside from the gigantic hole left from the machine? No, upsetted all of my library though, books scattered everywhere, took me a couple days to put everything back, but nothing missing. Boogie brains downstairs might be interested in talking to you though." A voice once again echos in Nur's head. "Such an ingrate is he not?"
  20. "I'll take the first watch, though I'll doubt we'll have any issues." Skrall propped up a chair facing a window, "In the morning we'll head to the cathedral." Loot Distribution: Skrall: Mead, 50 Gold Karie: Grand Potion, 50 Gold Jinnipher: Grand Potion, 50 Gold Warlen: Deadly Venom, 50 Gold Flynn: Grand Potion, Ruby
  21. "We built the Hulett at the depot, decreased unloading times by nearly 50%. The foreman Xor's a swell chum of mine, say hello for me if you're going out there." Nur glanced around him, he noted a few Dwarves working at a forge near the back of the room, a raccoon headed individual on the second story organizing a library, and a green skinned individual tending to a chemistry set off to his right.
  22. "We can rent this particular machine as it's simply a prototype, but most our work is done on a custom basis or contract work. Were you interested in commissioning something?"
  23. "I've got ya covered, Karie." Skrall reloads and fires at Scorpio from the back row marking the humanoid nature as opposed to the vermin tendencies. "Sandman, try another shot at that guy again, would you?" Battle Order: Skrall Karie Sandman Flynn Jinnipher Warlen
  24. "I've got ya covered, Karie." Skrall reloads and fires at Scorpio from the back row marking the humanoid nature as opposed to the vermin tendencies. "Sandman, try another shot at that guy again, would you?" Battle Order: Skrall Karie Sandman Flynn Jinnipher Warlen
  25. The shrouded figure slowly nodded. "NO IDEA, KIND OF HARD TO MISS THOUGH, BORE A WHOLE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WALL AFTERWARDS. THAT'S ALL THEY SURPRISINGLY TOOK." A voice echoes in Nur's head. "That and a vial of Alchemist's Acid." "WE'D APPRECIATE THE HELP IN TRACKING THE THING DOWN. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE GRUB P-500 LOAD WORKER, I'LL LEAVE YOU TO RIP." The dwarf indicated another mechanic working upon the machine. The dwarf wiped an oil stain off his hands and smiled at the pair. "Hullo there, name's Rip. The Grub's a good work horse, newly designed to be operated by a single individual. Its drill can cut through a foot of stone in under a minute and it's load bearing arm can hoist up to a ton of material. She's powered on alchemical batteries and ether cores and has a charge that'll last a good 5 days of continuous work."
