"Haha! Dungeon? I'm sure that's hardly necessary..." Leilara gulps.
OOC:
How many guards are in the room again?

Rolls

CON Save - (1d20+4)

(16) + 4 = 20

OOC:
Three guards.
Leilara, you stifle a wave of nausea. You haven't felt this uneasy since that incident with the cloak, back in the Royal Museum of Eskilar. That cloak is definitely hundreds of miles away, stored safely within the city. Maybe something of similar arcane power is nearby?
Oct 19, 2016 2:02 pm
Leilara looks around, a bit frantic.
OOC:
Can I tell how nearby we're talking? Also, do the guards appear better armed and outfitted than we are?
Oct 19, 2016 4:26 pm
"It is a big city," observes Yrsa, mindful of Leilara's change in demeanor. "Who is your subordinate?"
Oct 19, 2016 11:51 pm
OOC:
They are near enough to tell that you were whispering, but not close enough to make out what you said. The look as well equipped at the other guards you saw earlier.
Bhjurba responds to Yrsa.

"A surgeon named Caulder. He was always a strange one, but was good at his craft. He went missing right before the revolt and I haven't had time to find out what happened."

"Distinguishing features? Telltale habits or behavior?" Yrsa asks, business-like.

OOC:
Shit, forgot that Magnus presented the tobacco. Whoopsie poopsie
Bhjurba starts to get annoyed at the questions, but his mood lightens when he sees Magnus's present.

"Human, light colored hair. Many of the buildings surrounding this tower were looted, but you should visit the hospital. It's where he spent most of his time."

He grabs a small pinch of the stuff brings it to his nose.

"Oh, this is the good stuff! I hear the Genera nobles spend all day smoking this stuff. You might be wearing Generan armor, but you're alright in my book."

He pauses for a moment and gently lays the box of tobacco onto the table, near the glasses of wine.

"What were your names, again?"

Magnus earns 150 XP for using his quest item!

"Magnus." the large human says simply.
Oct 20, 2016 4:00 pm
"I'm... I'm Leilara Thistlefeather. Uhhh... is it warm in here? It feels really warm in here. Please excuse me." Leilara sputters as she puts her hands on her knees, squats, and takes deep, measured breaths.
Oct 20, 2016 4:01 pm
"Yrsa," answers the pirate.

In the minds of both Leilara and Magnus, Yrsa's thoughts whisper, What's our play here? I'm not getting a sense from either of you if we want to take him out now, or complete his request first. Of course, Yrsa cannot receive a reply, but she hopes it prompts some visual or spoken cue from the others on what they wish to do.
Oct 20, 2016 4:04 pm
Magnus takes a seemingly relaxed stance and gently rests his hand near the hilt of his sword, nodding very slightly at Yrsa while Bhjurba sniffs the tobacco.
Oct 20, 2016 4:05 pm
Leilara looks a bit pale as she shakes her head vigorously.
OOC:
I kinda want to find this Calder fellow and figure out if we can use him to lower Bhjurba's guard and get him to wine and smoke up. Then maybe we can capture him? Alternatively, if you think we can take out these guards and knock out the dwarf AND escape I'm fine with that too.
Oct 20, 2016 4:48 pm
Yrsa watches Leilara out of the corner of her eye, and returns her attention to the dwarf. "Thank you for this opportunity to prove ourselves, Master Bhjurba," she says, offering a polite curtsey. "We request your permission to search the surrounding buildings and the hospital. We would also like to be able to question your guards and your staff in order to track down your surgeon."

To her companions, We'll find this Calder. Maybe it will drop Bhjurba's guard. What's the matter with (you|Leilara)?
Oct 20, 2016 5:05 pm
Leilara gives a smaller shake of her head as she collects fresh air, attempting to indicate we'll talk when we're outside.

Bhjurba nods and the guards move away from the exit door, allowing the group to exit.

"Happy hunting."
OOC:
The hospital is that building where Kilo is perched, not too far from the tower. Do you want to head straight out or make any stops?
Oct 21, 2016 4:02 pm
If they're around, or on the way, Yrsa would like to find the bearded guard or Gonzo to ask about Calder and get a better description. Otherwise, even if it's pitch-dark, she has no issue with stepping back out into the city for the building with the strange bird.
Oct 23, 2016 2:32 am
Gonzo and the guard captain with the beard should be in the barracks, near the gate. A line of torches lead the way back there, but that's all they lead to. The building with Kilo is about halfway down the torch trial. It is dark out, so anyone without low-light or dark vision will have to rely on a light source.
Oct 23, 2016 3:06 am
Leilara takes a DEEP breath as soon as she's in the fresh air.

"He's got something intensely magical in there. I mean, arcane enough that I could feel it in my gut. In a not so good way. I don't want to be on the receiving end of whatever that is, so we gotta walk him out of there unsuspecting somehow. I know we have the spells and muscle for it, but it has to be the right time...

Leilara looks back around the buildings.

"Perhaps after we find this Calder. I mean..." Her voice lowers to a whisper. "The slaves could probably use a medic too, right?"
Oct 24, 2016 3:01 pm
"Could you tell at all what the object might have been or done?" Magnus asks, cursing his lack of training in the arcane arts. He rubs his hand on the hilt of his sword to make himself feel better.
Oct 24, 2016 4:29 pm
Yrsa listens, interested in learning about whatever it is that has affected Leilara so.
