Waterbrick Down

"Well I've got a magnifying glass. What kind of detective would I be, otherwise?" Hoples inspects the bottle. "Manufacturer's mark of the glassworks here in Eubric alright."

The smell is definitely sewage, though given Eubric Freeport, that could include a lot of things! Hoke expends 1 ether to melt the bars and plunges into the darkness beyond. As the Mystic Knight moves forward blindingly, he treads on something that wriggles under his foot before pushing him into the water and attacking him. PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

As the creator of the class, I see the point of throwing cards being included. But it has already been firmly decided by Sandy that throwing cards fall under the throwing weapon category and I side with his opinion on throwing weapons already being very extensively available to other classes. I've said it before and I'll say it again, adapt your character to the class, not the other way around, stretch your imagination and make the class work for you as opposed to asking for adjustments. In the end, you'll probably have a more unique character than you originally intended.

Hoples turns to Althior. "Where's he off to?" Hoke continues on his way until he comes to a large sluice gate. The sewer is turning ranker as the Mystic Knight continues and he is now Poisoned (3).

Benji notes that the smell from the bottle and the reek of the sewers are two distinctly different smells.

A noxious smell greets the two heroes as they splash into the sewers below.

"Like I said, Swifthorn's is closed at this point, unless you intend on waking him up."

Aside from animal droppings and broken wall pieces, Benji finds nothing else. The Beastwarrior makes his way over to the shop, the windows are currently dark.

"Leofwein, the man doesn't look too well. Let me & Mr. Sanders go after Orel." Polly grabs her bear and rushes up to the prisoner and pours a potion down his throat from the back row.

The Party heads back to the Gardens and after a bit of digging, they do find some broken shards of glass in the footprints in the mud. Unfortunately there are only shards and not a complete bottle.

Well with the first player Minstrel, let the parodies begin!

"It was mentioned in the report, but no evidence was submitted." "Never seen anything like that before."

Skrall swayed into the marketplace, selling of his Shield for 25 Gold, the ogre moved over to Portia's. To the vendor's fright Skrall nearly upset the entire stand before clumsily pulling out 2 Smelling Salts, 1 Nostrum, 3 Remedies, and 5 Meads for 190 Gold, leaving him with 138 Gold.

Skrall ordered another tankard, downed it quickly and slowly stumbled his way down the stairs mumbling to Atramor and Arthur as he went, "I'll be seeing you gents at the docks."

"Swifthorn's establishment will be closed at this point. Are you planning on waking him?" The glassware does not match any of the bottles from either the Theater or the Lotus. Hoke does notice a small stamp on the bottom of the glass, but it is too small to be easily identifiable.

Barlin wrinkles his nose at the glass. "What on olgeia is that smell?" "Now that you mention it, one of the privates did note some broken glassware outside the Theater during our original investigation. Didn't think much of it at the time, doesn't mean there isn't more around the other sites." Benji notes that the smell doesn't leave a trail and is restricted to the bottle itself. Althior peers into the window, but the interior of the observatory is dark.

Hoke removes the clutter and finds: 20 Gold Buried just under the surface of the muk and mire of the street, Benji finds a shattered glass vial. The beastwarrior's sensitive nose picks out the distinct odor of noxious alchemical substances. The Mystic Knight spots claw marks up and down the columns, there appears to be no damage higher than 12 bricks.

"I've got the big one." Polly shoots out a bolt of Darkness at the Cyclops Brute from the Back Row.

Eubric is quiet as the heroes make their way to the observatory. "Well this is it, as you can see, someone or something almost took down one of the supporting columns."

Skrall glanced at the armor, the monk was right, he wasn't going to be needing it, "250 Gold."

Sun is great, but I generally use two regular 60W incandescent desk lamps, one positioned above the scene, the other in front of the scene. I then mess around with lighting using Picasa and sometimes Gimp. I think most people would probably cringe at my setup.

"Huh?"

Skrall drained his tankard, before replying to the monk. "Yes it is, straight from Strivvi too." "Wren was... is a soddin' nuisance. A soddin' ex-hero with a soddin' messiah complex."

"Why would they take the missionary man with them on horseback? I'd think they'd want to take him with the rest of the camp." Polly follows her cheeks red from the biting wind.

"Not for another month or so, Wigglepike's got me staring in some show about two dueling crime families living in Eubric, very bold on his part if I may say so." The heroes stick around for another hour or so, patrons come in and out, some of them clearly inebriated, some in hurried and secretive manner, others casually waltz in and out. Nothing however seems to strike the trio as suspicious or note-worthy.
