OOC:
Okay let me see -- yes a 15 nets you something and an 18 nets you more -- but -- Alchemy is Arcana based knowledge, Undead and Demons are Religion based knowledge, but yes there are Historical bits of information as well I suppose -- oh and thanks for reminding me I think it got lost in the general discussion over undead my bad
Lex thought about it for a bit, and he recalled that historically they used holy water and other holy things to combat undead and that salt was believed to be helpful against demons. Further he believed there was a particular alchemical mixture involving salt that might be used against demons but what it was or how to make it he did not know but nothing specifically geared towards undead.

OOC:
No worries, thank you
On the way to Mam's Inn, Lex reaches into his backpack and says Holy water for demons and salt for undead. Wait. No reverse that. Holy water for undead and salt for demons. Dammit. I'm out of salt. I suggest we pick up a bag or two before heading out. I've also heard of an alchemical formula for making a flask that would hurt undead but I can't remember the specifics. If you give me a month or two I could prepare something... No! I have a better idea. Let's capture a minor demon, imp or something and bring it back with us. Then I'll begin devising something.

"Thank you," Brindel replies to Katsmon and the group heads to the Rock Inn.

OOC:
Unless Mam's Inn is another name for Rock Inn, I think you didn't quite agree on directions. XD
Is it, actually? I'm not sure if Mam refers to a name or something else?

The group heads to their right in the direction of the Rock Inn and then Mams Inn upon getting to the Rock Inn Brindel veers off the road in its direction while Lex continues down the road towards Mams Inn. It is fairly obvious to the group that not everyone was on the same page at this point.

"Friend Lex, do I have my inns mixed up?" Brindel smiles. "Odd things seem to happen when a gnome is involved."
Jan 24, 2020 8:09 am
Well, the guide?... Mams Inm?... No?Lex seems quite flabergasted
Jan 24, 2020 2:50 pm
"Lex, please, I am sorry, the fault is all mine. My thoughts have been drawn to my battleaxe and what information the gnome Kezzel might have. I obviously didn't pay enough attention during the other conversations. Let us go to the Mams Inn first."

"Kendra and Kroog, my apologies for any confusion I have caused to you as well. It is an uncomfortable feeling to have your family history rewritten in so short a time."
OOC:
@DeJoker To be clear, those are Brindel's thoughts as he deals with the new information about the battleaxe, not mine personally.
Jan 24, 2020 2:57 pm
"Ehhh, no worries Brindel. Where are we going!?"

Kroog seems a bit perplexed on which Inn we're supposed to be going to.
Jan 25, 2020 4:02 am
Not at all. The inns are close to one another. Let's go to Mam's Inn first, get the information the group needs and then find out about your axe. I must admit I am very curious about it too!

The group leaves the Rock Inn behind and continues on down the road, they eventually hook up with the main north-south road which hooks up to the south gate. Near the gate but off to the right some they spy two of those knights that had been present when the caravan arrived, the well dressed Tiefling and the fFolk sitting at a outdoors table.

After crossing the road and weaving up through a path in the tents they arrive at the front entrance to Mams Inn. The thirty-foot building is made of stout looking trunks and the door is fairly large, looking like it could easily accommodate someone eight-foot tall and proportionally wide. The door latch and handle are about head height for Brindel and upon opening the door it becomes apparent why as the place has more Yrocs than would make any sane dwarf comfortable. Along with the Yrocs, though there are Humans, Uriaks, fFolk, and Tieflings as well. The decor inside the place is one of a more primitive nature as beast heads adorn the walls of the nearly ten-foot ceilinged common room. In the center of the room is a large fire pit with a the body of an animal roasting on a spit. As the group steps in there is a lull in the conversations as the folk present take in the new comers.

Then out of the crowd to the groups left steps a seven-foot tall Yroc female who puts her fists on her broad hips and declares, "Well dither me withers we got us a stumpy. Now if that is not a sight to beat all. Welcome stumpy what can I get ya."

The face of this Yroc bears an uncanny resemblance to the one on the sign.
Jan 25, 2020 10:26 am
Lex smiles at the Yroc. Hello, we are looking for someone named Shump. Do you know where he might be found?
Jan 25, 2020 10:42 am
The female scowls down at Lex, "Ya can see I'm talkin' to stumpy hare, so stable that mouth." She then looks back to Brindel
Jan 25, 2020 3:05 pm
Kendra starts to play a simple little tune on her flute, just to test the waters. If it seems well-received then she transforms it into a more common drinking song that most should be familiar with.
Jan 25, 2020 7:17 pm
Shump who is just as massive as the female Yroc is about to answer easily back to her when he hears his name mentioned. He turns around and says I be Shump. What it is you be looking to me for?

Description: Male 7'+, massive huge strong Yroc. He wears furious looking bone breastplate with a bone helmet over simple traveler's clothing. Must be used to traveling outside of town as he sports a leather waterskin and has a symbol on stout leather cord to some god you imagine. He has a dagger in his boot that is noticeable. Just one sole pouch on his wide leather weapon girdle. His battleaxe is over his back on his stuffed leather backpack and warhammer in holder on wide leather girdle with a handaxe in holder tends to catch the eye. Over his backpack also hangs a heavy crossbow.

Lex, pauses for a moment, uncertain what to do as he was clearly just insulted. Then Shump addresses him and his manners take over Pleased to meet you Shump. I am Lex and these are my companions. We seek to investigate this mysterious tower which can be seen from the north river. We've been sent to you. Do you know anything about it?

DeJoker sent a note to GeneCortess

Kendra ends her tune, gives a curtsy, and joins Lex and Shump

Brindel was taken aback the surprising array of people in the room, the heavy-handed and tactless decorations, and the manner of its proprietor. His observance of the surroundings was gratefully interrupted by Kendra's music. At least that's pleasant, he thinks.

"My apologies," Brindel says to Mamzrik. "This is my first time here. I think first I would like to find the rest of our group, then see what we would like to order."
