Agna kneels down by the fallen figure, examining him for injury. When it becomes apparent that the man is dead as stone, she growls low and deep in her throat. "Thug and bully he might be, but this ain't right." She turns her angry gaze in the direction of the man leaving the scene. The shaman raises her voice. "Oi! What did you do to 'im?"

Seeing a dead body, I quickly check its pockets for coin and his head, neck and hands for jewelry. And his belt and boots for weapons

"Me? M'een drinking for the Frostmaiden all morn-hic!" he waves his hand around to no one "More likely his Ship mates did it".
OOC:
Gonna need a Sleight of Hand from Fizel if he wants to be discreet. Not sure if Izuhn wants to intervene between Agna and the drunk man :D
Feb 28, 2023 12:22 pm
Agna turns to Izuhn. "Traveler's dust? What's that you know of this, then?"
Feb 28, 2023 2:33 pm
Not really caring, but trying not to be too obvious, Fizel takes the loot and the note.

"Just that it's a drug popular on the streets of Luskan. I've heard it causes symptoms like what we just saw. Some say it's made from demon blood and eventually leads the user's astral form to the Abyss where it's consumed and the person dies the terrible death that we just witnessed."

Agna's eyebrows climb as the dwarf explains the drug's nature and provenance. This was the source of the dead man's affliction? She'd thought him attacked and the drunkard his assailant. "I knowed city life is unwholesome," she mutters aloud. "Too much time on idle folk's hands."

Everyone can see Fizel going through the dead body and taking anything of value he can find... even a bottle of booze!
OOC:
Well the drunk man find a new pub to be and you can make it to the deliverer's if there is nothing else you want to do/discuss here :D
Mar 1, 2023 3:57 pm
Izuhn is ready to put the grisly scene behind them, nodding his head in agreement with Agna. "Even the Dale offers kinder deaths than this."

On their way back to the Deliverers, Izuhn will question Fizel. "You know, if you need coin badly enough to take it from a dead man then we can always try and get some more from the Deliverers or pick up the rest of what they offered us."

"Nah, I just figured I'd do it before the town gaurds did. Also, there was this address I found, whatdaya make of it?" shows him the note

You all continue your way through the Harbor's span bridge and, as predicted by Krebbyg, you are quickly accosted as soon as you step into the Blood Island. You mention High Captain Kurth's name, show then the "rock" and wait as they do something to it. In no time they return and allow you to pass through the island to cross to the North Bank. As you do so, you notice the place is full of Ships’ thugs, and the only point of interest would be the guard tower and the barracks and armory buildings around it. Except for the "security check", you cross to the north bank without any problems. Arriving there, you quickly notice the black smoke still rising from the west and how the streets on the north bank are quieter.
OOC:
Going straight to the Ship or stopping by the Warehouse?

Agna hesitates, torn between marching to the warehouse to deliver a scolding or to leave the city behind at last.
Mar 2, 2023 10:41 pm
"I think I'd like to head straight to the ship to check our accommodations. We might need something from a shop before we go."
OOC:
looking around for a place to purchase citrus fruits and ginger

"I agree. Let's get our bearings there and we can see how much time is left before we depart." On the way Izuhn keeps an eye out in the areas that were once held the strange winter ritual. Where did all the festivities go? he thinks to himself.
OOC:
Also a roll to see if he recognizes or remembers the address.

Agna nods, setting her staff against a shoulder as she follows the dwarves' lead.

As you make your way to the Open Shore Harbor notice the hectic activity around a majestic two-masted sailing ship: the Icebreaker. It is now that you can see the source of the black smoke: a giant longship slowly burning, giganting white/blue chared corpses floating in the sea.

The crew is expecting you, the new recruits, and you are quickly shown to the plank leading up to the deck. Before you step into the wooden bridge, you notice a dark elf looking wistfully out at the sea as the north wind whips his white hair around him. He holds an ebon staff tipped with an effigy of a spider atop it, and clutches a parcel underneath his arm. He turns and looks at you for a moment.

Agna resolutely marches up the plank onto the ship.
Mar 3, 2023 12:46 pm
Carrying a sack of ginger and limes, Fizel follows Agna.
Mar 3, 2023 12:59 pm
Izuhn watches his two companions walk up the plank and board the ship. He stands torn, thinking the strange dark elf is probably one of their last clients. He hesitates a moment and finally, unable to resist, quickly runs over to the dark elf, collects the package, and returns to the ship.
OOC:
For the sake of moving the story along, I am happy to have the conversation "off screen" maybe in PM's or something.

OOC:
I'm good if you wanna play out the scene here too.
