You arrive in the evening. It appears that most of the cobblers on Cobbler's row have closed shop. Several are walking together towards the Gray Mule, looking quite jovial.

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

As the heroes enter the Gray Mule, they see the place is somewhat empty. There is a delicious smell coming from the kitchen. A church bell sounds outside, indicating the end of the work day, and soon the place starts filling up with men - mostly cobblers judging by how they are dressed. They seem to all know each other. The bar patron (a man with a peg leg) starts serving up hot stew and mugs of beer to the hungry patrons, including you if so inclined

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

"No wench here, lad, but I've got beer" the one-legged barkeep, Dannod Harven, says as he plops a bowl of stew down in front of you along with a frothy mug of beer. As you sit and drink, discussing what you will do next in your adventuring career, eventually Atarin himself makes an appearance. Seeing you, he smiles and sits down with you.

He brings out a bag of gold quite casually, and plops it on the table. "There you go, gents! A little bonus...Thanks again for rescuing me!" it's clear to Alden that this man doesn't understand the dangers of thieves.

"Now, I have to go before the archaeological guild to request another group of students. Then I would love to have you back at the agreed rate of 10gp each per week for guard duty. I suspect we'll have trouble from both the Lakemen and the cultists. I'll be ready in two weeks time. So I will come looking here for you again then." With that he enjoys some wine and conversation, but his talk is about lakeman tools and loincloths, a bore to most of you.

Three women come into the tavern, one somewhat unattractive and gruff looking. The next a fairly attractive girl with long, dark hair and the last is a dazzling red-head. A few of the drunken cobblers whistle, calling out to the girls "Red Kirsten, here, girl!" "Molli, sing for us darling!" and a few say "Jennan, get your ass over here!" The woman (except for Jennan, who looks like she's not thrilled) smile and parade around the room flirting with the cobblers and other patrons. Red Kirsten talks to a few shoe workers but is looking at your table...

Half-listening to Atarin's story, Esteber notices when the three women (especially the two attractive ones) enter the establishment. He follows them with his eyes as he drink, eats, and pretends to listen to Atarin. When Red Kristen looks at their table, Esteber smiles back at her.

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

Esteber watches the woman, a prostitute no doubt...very attractive and has a spark of wit about her. She chats with a cobbler but looks again to your group.

Meanwhile Molli takes the small stage and begins singing. The whole place claps along:

In the shoemaker's shop
This refrain would never stop
As he tapped away
Working all the day.

At his bench there was he
Just as busy as a bee
Little time to lose
With the boots and shoes.

But his heart went pop
Inside the little shop
When a lovely girl
Set him all a whirl.

She had come to choose
Some pretty dancing shoes
And he heard her say
In her charming way,

"Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing,
Dancing, dancing all the day.
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing,
Dancing all my cares away."

Then he tapped and he stitched
For his fingers were bewitched
And he sewed a dream
Into every seam.

Making shoes, oh so neat
Just like magic on her feet
And he hoped she'd know
That he loved her so.

But she danced, danced, danced
As tho' she were entranced
Like a spinning top
All around the shop.

On her dainty feet
She whirled into the street
And he heard her say
As she danced away,

"Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing,
Dancing, dancing all the day.
"Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing,
Dancing all my cares away."

song imagine a bit more drunken polka style

The crowd cheers and beers are raised. After the revelry dies down, Red Kirsten comes over to your table. "Is this seat taken, boys?" She points at Esteber's lap.

The red haired woman introduces herself "Hello Gentlemen, I am Red Kirsten and by the way you are dressed and equipped I can see that you are adventurers." She smiles as she feels Esteber's arm.

"I am looking for some men of discreet professionalism to help me with a troubling task. One of my favorite and prized customers has suddenly become unavailable. His manservant refuses to let me in or allow him to see me. I am growing worried that something strange is afoot as the man is unmarried and our relationship is very private. I'm looking for someone to investigate and see if he is OK and find out what has happened as I am refused contact with him."

She sips Esteber's beer. "I would be willing to pay for your quiet investigative services."

The moon is large in the sky, casting a lot of light on the city. Shoehaven is a modest, three-story manor home with white brick walls covered in vines. As you approach the Manor House, you see the occasional eerie, greenish light from the third story windows. The first floor windows are barred.

After a moment, the door opens a crack. The room beyond is dark. The man at the door is clearly a butler, but he is disheveled, with his collar undone, he looks a bit dirty and tired, with his eyes red and his skin pale and sweaty.

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

You make your way around the back. One thing you notice is that the creeper vines are VERY dense on this side of the house. Some are thick as a man's arm. On the ground are pieces of broken stone finials - it is as if the vines grew very quickly, choking out the stone they entwined around.

The door to the kitchen area is partially obscured by vines and leaves. From the kitchen you can hear a clanking noise and see a reddish orange glow that seems in time to the clanking. The windows back here are barred on the ground level too.

You think you could part the vines, might have to hack one or two, to get access to the door. You look into the windows, the kitchen is dark. Occasionally, there is a flash of orange/red and a clanking noise. There are other windows that must look into other rooms. No light comes through those windows.

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

The torchlight provides some visibility into the dark kitchen. You hear flies buzzing and the smell of rot fills your nostrils. There is a pile of dishes in a wash basin, molded bread on a chopping block. The floor is covered in a fog, making it impossible to see the floor. You feel there is some sort of 'current' in the fog, and it flows from the doorway to the hall.

But what really disturbs you is the oven. The iron object has been warped or twisted, it now looks like a face, with the oven door a mouth. It actually laughs as you enter, filling the room with an eerie red/orange light from the fire within. "HUNGRY! ME EAT YOU!!!! BURRRN YOU!"

The small room to the north appears to be a fully stocked pantry. The eerie fog still streams in from the hallway. Occasionally weird lights flicker, playing tricks on your eyes. The door to the hall is partially open (updated map)

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

Esteber, with monsters about, maybe you'd better get rid of the torch and use that shield of yours. I'll light the way for us." Herja touches her own shield and it begins to glow. She picks up her sword and attempts to lay an enchantment on it as well. Her first attempt fizzles out but with a scowl Herja tries again and soon the sword also glows faintly.

She moves to Bart and does the same for Gertrude. Like before, it takes Herja a couple of tries.

"The enchantment will only last 2 minutes, so let's move!" Herja takes her place behind Bart and signals that she's ready to move on.

The door appears untrapped and unlocked. You hear nothing beyond. However, you all hear noises from down the hall. There you see the butler hiding on a small couch, peering over the arm at you.

About a week ago. The master had retired to his room, he had just finished entertaining a guest. I was preparing to clean the dishes and retire for the evening when the oven attacked me. I ran away and up stairs where I encountered the master, he was sleeping in his chair but I could not wake him.

Things got more peculiar and I stayed here in the vestibule. It has been this way since. I didn't know what to do...

The opponent only rolls DEF once, you're still making a single attack. Also, you need to roll on two separate CTNs; one at 21 and one at 1 (yeah I know), and if your first roll is not a Fumble (20), you then get to assign your rolls to each CTN as you please.

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

This sitting room contains comfortable looking furniture, a bookshelf full of cobbling-related books. Every flat surface of the room is literally covered with burning candles, making the room quite bright.

Sitting in a plush reading chair, with a large tome open beside it on an end table, is an older man. His eyes are rolled back in their sockets, showing only the whites. This must be Master Gallenar. Resting atop his head is an ornate crown. The design features a bronze tree on the front, embedded with pulsing green gemstones.

As soon as you step into the room, the candles begin to dissolve and come together into a nightmarish bipedal form!

If we kill the golem more monsters might appear from this guy's dreams so I think removing the crown is our best shot for now. But I'm not the strongest guy here, is there any "clever" way to do that? maybe prying it up using my bow as a crowbar? or has it any "button" or "mechanism" to deactivate it?

I'd rather spend a couple turns trying to figure out a better way of doing this than directly using my meager strenght.

"Herja, is Bart still alive?"

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

Galenar listens to your tale, wide eyed. He confirms seeing all of the nightmare creatures in his dreams.

His memory is foggy and he can't recall the recent days' events. When you ask about the crown, he knows Red Kirsten gave it to him but cannot remember where she got it or why she gave it to him. Galenar is extremely grateful to you all. He gives you each 100GP and asks for your discretion in the matter.

With that, it appears he is ready to retire for the evening (it is very early in the am hours now).

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

You make your way over to the city center, where Atarin is staying. You almost don't recognize him after a few days of proper eating and a bath. He's dressed more scholarly and has had a shave and haircut. He greets you, saying he's still ironing out the details of what is next for his archaeological delve on the coast. You show him the crown, describing the events, and he studies it carefully. His eyes light up and he exclaims.

"Ah... clearly an object from the time of the Earth Mother"

"The Earth Mother..." Herja ponders the name aloud.

"Yes, the proto-deity of Caera. During the Time of Twilight. Before the sun and moon, light and dark, good and evil. Our ancient history. When the separation of these forces shook the world and the Earth Mother sacrificed herself to save Caera and the Sundering occurred - the Godsfall. The creation of Helia, Baarn and all the other deities. Powerful entities that had to gather unto themselves worshipers to validate their power and continue their existences.

In the time of the Earth Mother, she was attended to by the Druun, an order of men who kept the secrets of her worship to themselves. This item is one of their relics. Astounding discovery! I wonder where it came from?

This part here that you have broken off, the oak tree with a face, this signifies dreams and portents. A druunic priest would have probably used this crown to speak to their deity and receive visions. To an unskilled person, this could have produced dire nightmares and uncontrolled wild magic side effects.

Even now rendered useless, it is a highly desirable artifact. I would suspect it would fetch 1,000 gold pieces from the right people. Some people within my circles, in fact. I could, for a fee to help fund my research, find a seller for you."

As the sun begins to set, you show off your new gear to your fellow adventurers, feeling an empty spot with Bart no longer with you, you trod over to the Grey Mule.

Cobblers and other merchants close shop and head over to the tavern. You catch some of their chatter - two old guys going on about faerie lights seen in the sky. How if they appear over your house at night, your wife is amorous and a little fun is had! The two men are eager for the event to occur at their homes as their wives have been dead fish.

The Mule is jumping, you look around and do not see Red Kirsten or the other two (Jennan and Molli) yet.

The Red Door tenements is a 4 story apartment where each apartment is accessed from a balcony walkway. There is a wooden stairway on the western side. Each floor above the ground floor has a flimsy looking wooden rail. Every door in the place is painted red- thus the name. Each floor has 6 apartments.

As the sun has set, the top (4th) floor of the tenement is quite busy. There are burly looking toughs drinking and laughing, occasionally punching each other in the arm in tests of strength and toughness. Several mean and raggedy dogs walk around the balcony, too. As you move closer, you also spy two more men on the stairs between floors 2 and 3. Several dogs walk around on the street near the tenement. People give both the dogs and the men wide berth.

The dogs immediately come over and stand expectantly in front of Roeban. The two toughs look shocked and quite pissed off. "Step off now or you're dead!" one says, holding his shortsword handle.

Standing behind Bart, Herja grips her sword.

OOC:

Is it possible to spellcast silently or quietly at least? Would Herja be able to cast Enchant Weapon without the Hounds noticing?

Roeban scratches the dogs behind the ears.

"Which Hounds of Camber don't we want to go messing with? These two hounds? Mmm, yes these two Hounds of Camber are a couple of dangerous hounds indeed, aren't they? Are all of your hounds so terrifying?"

Bart will laugh out loud at the new situation the toughs have for themselves. "Haha, looks like you might have to do your own fighting boys! Gertrude would prefer it that way anyway."

Bart will take one step forward, arms still crossed.

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

The two toughs look a bit concerned, clearly outnumbered. One makes a quick sharp whistle and the dogs heel. The two men (and the dogs) step back and carefully take the stairs back up to the fourth floor. One issues a warning "Stay outta Camber turf".

From the fourth floor the gangers eye you carefully. Eventually a larger, more burly man steps out, a small keg of beer under his arm. He looks down at you, whispering to his fellow gang members.

The men on the fourth floor keep an eye on you for a while, then go back to drinking. Someone pulls out a deck of cards and several go into one of the apartments.

You make your way to the tavern. When you open the door the crowd turns and their faces quickly drop to frowns. "Where are those lasses?" One patron says. "I ain't seen Red Kirsten in a day, Molli and Brennan either."

"Last time I saw Molli and Brennan they were talking to a few of them Hounds of Camber"

Re: Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

You make your way back to the Red Door Tenement, it's later at night now. There are no Hounds gang members on the 4th floor, but you can see lights on in some of the rooms and hear boisterous laughter. The stairway and balcony walkways are dark. What do you do?

Esteber makes his Perception roll.

I think Esteber was peeking a look at Herja's cleavage while he was above her on the stairs. :P

Alden spots two Camber gangers in the shadows of the 2nd floor stairwell. They were not hidden particularly well but it was clear that Esteber's mind was elsewhere and he would have walked into a knife had you not seen them first.

The gangers draw their sword and club and move to attack -
