Reclaiming Paphos

Dean takes the scroll and examines it. Thank you for your assistance with this.

He hands back a simple scroll. Opening it you skim the contents and learn the procedures that will need to be taken to gain control of a Paphos neighborhood, the Dock/Base or one of the remnants. Basically it requires a minimum number of people to reside within one of the neighborhoods, one of which must be recognized as a citizen or resident of the city, for a set period of time and then for the people to form an organization and select a form of leadership. You are confident that with the arrival of Lady Alagondar this should work and many of the requirements may already have been met. The expedition can likely sort out the remainder of the details in short order.

With the information on how to become recognized by the city in hand you have much to tell the expedition. As you talk Geis climbs out of the pack.

Geis

Other than the Node we arrived and left by I know of one other civil administrative office in that area. It is along the southern wall of the neighborhood.

But what are you plans now? Back to report to your people or on to the merchant district?

Skeeve says, "This scroll is too valuable to risk carrying around heedlessly. I would like to return to the base and provide it to the leadership so they may begin enacting these steps. This is what I have really been looking for, and I don't want to risk it!

"This really was worth the ring! Thank you!"

OOC:

Two points I want to make sure I understand.

First, if Lady Alagondar takes up residence in the Base, then we have our citizen, and so the other steps just need to be done? And when done, does that mean the residents will be promoted to citizens?

Second, just to be clear, is Geis talking about the goblin-controlled remnant or the merchant remnant?

Dean thanks your again and remind you that while grateful his home is not a shortcut for you to use as you please. But he will let you access another Remnant once other time if needed.

OOC:

1 basically yes
2 goblin controlled plaza

So, heading back to base to stay and talk to just hand off the scroll?

I agree, let's head back to Base, secure the scroll, talk with the leaders. Then we can leave again for Lady Alagondar quest.
Arc thanks Dean and Geis, with good expectations to meet again soon.

You make you easy back to base without incident

Skeeve says, "Well, if no one has anything they need to otherwise take care of, shall we head out to the other Remnant? Also, do we want to do our exploring during the day, or during the night?

"Let's head toward the Library first, then hit the Remnant we need. That way if we have to wait or camp a bit, we can do it from somewhere relatively safe."

Jun 12, 2024 3:17 pm

You set back out to the library after trekking through the swamp and following the trail through the grassy hills. It is now mid afternoon and you enter the large stone building to rest a bit from the heat of the day.

OOC:

Which stone building? The Library or a different stone building?

Jun 12, 2024 6:07 pm

Library

Jun 12, 2024 10:13 pm

That's what I thought. Just making sure.

So the group has to decide whether they we want to go in at night, or if we want to wait for morning.

OOC:

looking for an item would be easier during daylight I suppose? But I'm not entirely sure right now, are we marching into hostile environment?

Jun 13, 2024 4:54 am

The Remnant in question is being contested by multiple factions, none of whom really like you guys, so . . . . sure hostile is a word. The Item should be in the compoint on the southern end of the Remnant which is held by Hobgoblins at this time.

Hopefully we can use the hostilities among those factions as diversion. To enter and leave as fast as possible.
I wouldn't expect a fight with hobgoblins to be easy.

"I agree. If we can get them to fight each other, we'll be ahead of the game. And don't forget to use your new cloaks again. Every little bit helps!"

Also, don't forget that both Arc and Skeeve have a communication crystal. So we can talk with each other as Arc scouts, meaning he doesn't have to immediately come back to tell us what he sees going on every time.

OOC:

Skeeve's primary focus is retrieving the artifact. However, he has two secondary objects, if at all possible:
1) Making sure of who the various factions are and their relative power.
2) Identifying who the "mystery" group is.

I don't know if the secondary items are really possible, but he will be looking for opportunities to find that out.

Also, who's territory is the matrix node pad in, or do we not know yet?

Kaarik puts on the clothes bought by Skeeve and scrabs a bit of dirt on his face.
"Ready to go" he says trying to imitate Skeeve's human accent as best as he can.

OOC:

Skeeve's primary focus is retrieving the artifact. . . .

1) Making sure of who the various factions are and their relative power. Current factions = Hobgoblin, Orc, Lizardmen/Kobold, Gobin, Fey, Expedition, Undead/Necromancers. Ones seen in merchant district are underlined
2) Identifying who the "mystery" group is. Mystery group? You mean the ones that hired the goblins and are organizing the auction or something else?

3) Who's territory is the matrix node pad in, or do we not know yet? Best guess by Arc is the building is in contested or unclaimed territory

You head back to the merchant district and move cautiously as you know multiple factions are active in the area.
How do you wish to approach the Remnant? What gate are you aiming for? 2 gates per side NSEW
