Re: [IC] Death & Taxes (Session 1)

CESN says:

"Hello there! Who may you be?" Nekurr quickly jumps into a serious posture as a naughty child caught stealing candy! "Ah yes, Kelis Isle. I heard he was working now somewhere south. Tamalir was my guess." the cleric shows his hand to the good looking man "Nekurr, cleric of Fortuna. I'm a friend of Kelis. Met him through Rathin, you know her? That are related and she wanted me to help him turn his luck when he was in a bad place. I haven't seen her in awhile now. Anyway, I was planning on surprising him to make sure he was doing well"

Nera rolls her eyes and lightly bats a paw at Nekurr's head. "You made that up after drinking too much the other night. Again. Thinking Fortuna blessed you with riches for doing nothing but squandering coin. Stupid drinking games make you a stupid priest." She chides him like a younger brother, looking vaguely irritated during her speech.

Turning to face the fancy-pants she puts on a smile, ignoring whatever rebuking Nekurr may try and engage in. "Now I don't think you are drunk or lying. What's it like, working with him? If the priest will tell a take it should at least be truthful?"

OOC:

I've have a busy week so a bit behind.

Are Nera's questions a fair use of her advantage and successes?

Re: [IC] Death & Taxes (Session 1)

The group of hunters seem to take Bruv for a potential score—perhaps hoping to hire them on as guides. A surly, bearded Human who goes by the name "Raddy the Cleaver" does most of the talking:

emsquared says:

"Oi wanna hunt the lion-lizards and musk-deer of the fens, bot Oi don't wanna sleep an eat wit 'em... Anywhere on or near the swamp ta get a hot meal and dry bed? Even if just some accommodating folks' stable, er sumpin'?"

"If'n you're lookin' t'hunt the Blackwing, you're gonna get dirty, brother. It can pay well, though—better'n robbin' caravans and the like. Ya gotta unnerstan' huntin' the swamp ain't 'xactly legal under Baron's Law. We hear scuttlebutt of a hunter who tried to stay in a village somewhere on the Flametail, but they turned the sorry sot over to th'authorities! Best to stay hidden, we say."

emsquared says:

"Oi've 'eard dere's lizard folk thereabouts... kin ya tell me anythin' about em? Maybe 'ow ta make peace wit em, if Oi foind myself having angered em?"

"Vermin if you ask us, right fellas! Kill 'em on sight. They don't have much patience for hunters. Claim the swamp's 'sacred' to 'em or some cockamamie like that. There's a Gnome they likes, but we ain't seen him in months."

emsquared says:

"Any friendly advoice, fer what else someone not from these parts might need ta know?"

"If you're gonna go trompin' through the swamp, you gotta have a guide. That's where us comes in. Blackwing's a deathtrap otherwise. Now if you'll 'scuse us..." He looks to the drunken Dwarf and then to his companions. "We got a bit of bui'ness to 'tend to. You know where to find us if you want to know where the good kills is at."

OOC:

No worries; we all have busy times. 3 successes is good enough to cover for Nekurr (and your employer) and to get a bit of info out of him, sure.

The man looks from Nera to Nekurr and back again. "I suppose this must be some peculiar custom of your people? I've never met a Felinoid Hybrid, you see!" He smiles as if very proud of himself. "I wish I could tell you anything about this Isle fellow. He seemed competent enough, maybe a bit rough around the edges. He was hired only about a month ago and then sent on his first assignment. I'm guessing he must still be on the road. Some of the more remote villages can be a chore to reach, let me tell you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I apologize for bothering you." He gives a short bow and then heads out the door toward the stables.

Gilga Oakenwheel gives a lopsided grin. "I take it you don't want word of your quest for Kelis Isle to get out. Is that fair?"

OOC:

I think we're good to wrap up this scene. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to do before we move on to morning.

Re: [IC] Death & Taxes (Session 1)

"We generally try to work as discreetly as possible and, in this particular case, we probably want to find some evidence before we say something" Nekurr explains the situation to Gilga, before thanking her and leaving to rest.

OOC:

i probably won’t be posting for a week or so, but feel free to NPC Nekurr as required ;)

Nera eyes up the wealthy looking man as he saunters away, silently wondering how heavy his purse is. Never met a fe-li-noyd? Must live under a rock, or a nice roof.

OOC:

Safe travels, CESN!

GIlda nods. "Your secret's safe with me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I really should retire for the evening. I'm staying in the third room to the left at the top of the stairs." She looks to Tronus and smiles ever so slightly. "Gets kind of cold in the evenings." She collects her cards, bows, and heads for the stairs.

OOC:

Let's let emsquared decide if he needs/wants anything more from the ruffians. Interceding on the drunken Dwarf's behalf will take a Coercion check versus RP + setback setback for their numbers. Or just let it happen and go to bed. Up to you!

Re: [IC] Death & Taxes (Session 1)

When you return to the common room at sunrise, the tavern is much calmer than it was last night. You notice the rough-looking Humans and Orc Bruv met are outside saddling up their horses, now joined by the Orc woman whom you noticed flirting with the drunken Dwarf the night before. Otherwise, only a few lone travelers sit at the tavern tables, eating a breakfast of bread, milk, and sausage. It's easy enough to find your own table out of earshot, allowing you to discuss what you've learned as you eat, and make plans for how to reach Buzzards' Ford.

OOC:

Feel free to discuss things IC or OOC. I'm leaving the ruffians outside in case you decide to incorporate them into your plans (especially for a northern/swamp approach).

"Oi gotta tell ya mates, the picture Oi'm gettin' of 'is place is a weird one.

A 'istory of people using 'allucinogens and... Oi dunno, a cult? An extremely insular town and people. Protection of the lands boi the Baron. Sacred grounds of lizard-folk...", he shakes his head, "Moi sources may not be the most reliable, but sounds loik we're in for a strange trip.

Any of ye 'eard anythin' about a gnome?"

Re: [IC] Death & Taxes (Session 1)

"I know of a merchant who's frequented the area, had a nicer time with the lizard folk then the people of Buzzard's Ford when it came to trading." Tronus states with a bit of odd pep in his step before he relays what he heard for advise from an old friend as well as Nekurr's green moment and the person to be mindful of they meet as well, "Seems our man went from desperation and debauchery to dedicated and decent which seems odd to me for various reasons considering why we're here."

"They told me they hadn't seen 'im for a while. Bot Oi'm sure a great thinkin' moind loike yours can 'elp 'em remember, eh?

They're roight outside, go ask 'em.", Bruv gestures to the hunters loading up their horses outside.

I could try streetwise?

OOC:

Reminder: Tronus met this merchant in Nornholt, so no need to ask the guys outside. Tronus would know the Gnome is back where you started from. Also remember that Nera is wearing armor crafted by lizard men and sold by said merchant.

"The Merchant was back in Nornholt that's where I got the information on the lizard folk being a point to contact if we take the back way around Buzzard since they're at least civil enough to take money for goods, can't be all bad if you'll trade with someone new, Nera's wearing some of his goods locally made by the lizard folk tribe. Decent little fellow. Food first, find later, I'm hungry." Tronus states looking around for breakfast.
