Session 1: Make contact with Bhjurba's Den

Kalimonsore was against the cave wall, his knees close to his chest and his head lowered, he was not asleep but neither awake, he felt the rooms atmosphere change as he looked up and opened his eyes as whispers came from Ysra about the people below, in hushed tones he spoke

"If they knew about this place they would have came up here, I know I'd rather stay up here then down there"

Kalimonsore looked towards the entrance to the cave.

"Could they have followed us, sand tracks, that things insides scattered across the desert.....what do we do?"

Leilara doesn't wake easily at first, but with one final word she bolts upward, fully alert. When the others explain the situation, she whispers her own plans.

"Well, if they're just blocking the way down we can try and talk to them. But if they prove to be hostile..." She twiddles her fingers menacingly. "We just get them to take a little nap and figure out if they're more than just bandits when they're properly trussed."

"At least we know there down there and they don't know we are up here, we have the higher ground, there's three options, let them leave, we talk to them or we get the upper hand and attack first, it's going to be hard tactically to get us but diplomacy should always come first in my opinion, I'd say we wait tho less risk."

Yrsa tries to pick up any conversation from below, while remaining out of sight beyond the edge of the cliff wall.

"I'd rather not delay any more than we have to, but I have a feeling it may come to a fight if we were to try speaking to them. They look like the unsavory sort."

Mar 26, 2016 12:23 am

Yrsa listens in as the strangers settle into their camp, and she manages to catch the end of their conversation.

"There ain't no treasure in the middle of the desert, ya fool." says the man sharpening his greataxe.

The dullard quickly responds, "There is! Back at the main camp, Cragcrawler and Lil Dustin told me they heard about a new dragon moved in near the mouth of the sea and brought a mountain of treasure!"

"Lil Dustin is a child, and the last time the boss took Cragcrawler's advice led to a failed raid!"

The two glare at each other from across the fire. There's an awkward silence. For a while, the only sound is the popping and sizzling of lizard kebabs roasting over the flames. The third man speaks while grabbing one of the lizards and taking a bite.

"What we do is up to the boss, for now we are just going to report back. Finish up and get some rest, all this talk is a waste of water."

Yrsa sits back, content to allow the group below to rest. She pulls her knees up to rest her arms upon them, and leans her head against the cavern wall. Her good eye closes, almost serene.

Mar 26, 2016 8:38 am

The rest of their conversation involves meaningless things: what they are going to eat the next day, the prostitutes they missed the most, and why the plants look so weird in the desert. Bhjurba's Den is mentioned, but not enough to glean information. Though, it does appear they know of the place pretty well.

Their camp is strategically placed where the shade will last the longest, and the dullard quickly starts making his bed. The man with the greataxe rests sitting against a rock hugging his axe, and the scarred man stays wide awake brewing some sort of drink over the fire.

Mar 26, 2016 12:10 pm

Kali looks to Ysra before looking around, he didn't like being in this position of not knowing who these people where and what there intentions where but he placed his head on the bedroll that had dried out more, he layed there before quietly speaking up

"If anything happens, even in the slightest just call out"

Kali turned around and held his sword close to him as he faced the wall just blankly staring at it, he didn't know if he'd get back to sleep or not

Mar 26, 2016 5:59 pm

Remaining still and relaxed, Yrsa's thoughts wrap around the party's consciousness. If they stay longer than overnight, we'll have to confront them; at the very least to get past.

Leilara is a bit pensive, with a half-cocked grin. "I bet news of this dragon would be quite welcome to Lady Tsira. Another source of wealth for the estate would be... quite useful I imagine. Well... assuming we can procure it."

Mar 26, 2016 6:24 pm

OOC:

dragon is Tsira and treasure is the "omen treasure horde" lol

OOC:

This occurred to Leilara about as well as it occurred to me. :D

"Sounds like we might have to figure out who's in charge of their little group. Maybe we should have a little talk with them? Can't have them going after Tsira while we're gone, can we?"

Mar 26, 2016 7:42 pm

They're going back to their camp, thinks Yrsa to the group. The keep is well-guarded by the others. I recall even Magnus' brother is there. But, if you want to chat, you could probably glean something useful if you ask the right questions. Or we can follow them.

"They've delayed us enough. If we want to find anything out from them, let's just ask. Otherwise they won't be worth the time we've spent on them already."

Mar 26, 2016 10:41 pm

OOC:

It would be possible to sneak past them, you'd just have slide down that rope one at a time. With a stealth check, naturally.

Fromt their discussion you can their camp is about 2 days away. I wouldn't advise following them, but any info you get about them you could send back to Tsira using that rune paper she gave to Yrsa.

Mar 26, 2016 11:17 pm

OOC:

Ah, I thought they were literally right below us.

Yrsa's eye pops open. "If you wish to speak to them, wait until they sleep. I'll see if I can charm the watchman into a private conversation with one or two of us, while the others keep cover."

Mar 28, 2016 8:08 am

Nothing else changes after you wait around, and the only one who seems awake is the man with the scar - now drinking whatever he brewed over the campfire.
