Chapter 1: The Beginning

The three of you have become the newest members of The Empire's Special Task force, answering directly to the King or one of his advisers. You are escorted through the Great Hall by 8 Elite Guard. The Great Hell is enormous, probably the size of 3 barracks. There are banners hanging, as well as the heads of many creatures. Pillars line an area leading to the front of the room. The pillars appear to be made out of solid gold.

At the front of the room, you notice 4 people.

King Fainrill is obvious, with his crown and deep crimson plate mail armor. Eliza Warcloak, the King's warpriestess, stands just behind him to the right, wearing black chainmail and a scowl that could freeze a dragon's heart. Next to her is Eris Dragonbain, the King's general, wearing solid gold chainmail and a matching longsword on his back. On the other side of the King is Felspar Highstorm, the King's Wizard, wearing a bright purple robe, leaning on his staff.

You reach about 10' in front of the group and the elite guard leaves you.

What do you do?

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

Edwin stood in the presence of greatness, and he knew it. The glimmer of light across the gilt surfaces in the room immediately struck his eyes. The opulence, it would be so easy to take just a little - No Eddie, no. Those days are behind you. Focus. Rules and etiquette and such. he thought to himself as he dipped from the waist, bowing towards the king in deference, one hand steadying his rapier as he straightened back up.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

May walked sure, confident but alert. She takes a careful look around the room. She finds peace in knowing that she isn't the greenest around but she can't be sure enough. She attempts to take account of the parade of heads before stopping abruptly as the entourage left.

She starts favouring her left leg and takes a wide relaxed stance. She locks eyes with the four before giving a smirk, a click of the tongue, and a shallow bow.

She begins scratching her side as her eyes starts to wander again.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

Jorrel advanced with a sure and steady gait, chainmail quietly jingling with each step. As he approached the throne he kept his eyes firmly forward, never once wavering to quench his curiosity.

He stopped smartly the required distance from his royal majesty and stood rigidly at attention for three heartbeats before dropping to one knee with his head bowed. His time as a soldier, and his subsequent time as a cripple, had robbed him of any illusions he may have had concerning the moral superiority of the nobility, but he still recognised the king as being the chosen representative of his god on this plane, and he would accept that divine mandate as an absolute.

All we mortals can err, it is only natural, but we must trust that the gods can see into the hearts of men and would not let someone unworthy sit atop the throne.

As the thought of unworthies entered his head, his mind drifted to those beside him in this audience. He hadn't much chance to get the measure of them, but each in their own way seemed to be... flawed. They had recoiled when confronted with his scarred appearance, but then again few didn't. Still, somebody had decided they were worthy of joining this Task Force, and of being in the Royal presence, so Jorrel was willing to give them the benefit if the doubt. For now.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

The King spoke I’m told you are three of our most promising recruits. We shall see. You have been selected to be a part of an elite group that answers directly to me or one of the other three behind me. Do your missions exactly as instructed and you shall be rewarded generously. Are we understood? Excellent. Your first mission is nothing difficult, merely a retrieval. I have a package waiting for me in Veritas and you need to bring it back. Eris will be accompaning you to see how you do in real life situations. He will not get involved in any combat that may occur unless you are about to die? Do we understand?

The King smiles and his eyes move between each of you. One last thing. Hold out your right arms, palm up. He then claps his hands and this haggard looking elf limps into the room with a glowing red branding iron. You need the mark of the Empire if you’re going to be part of my special group.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

Jorrel stood and removed his glove without hesitation. He proffered his hand to the elf and, as the hot iron seared his flesh, he closed his eyes and accepted the pain. Pain had been his only companion for years; it was comforting, familiar, even reassuring. And this searing pain coursed through him and seemed to energise him for the mission ahead.

When it was over he was almost sad, though he tried not to show it. He clutched his right wrist gingerly and examined his new scar.

Shame, he thought wryly, that was pretty much the only part of my body which didn't have a scar.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

Aye sir. Edwin says simply before moving forward, baring his arm as asked. Not the first brand that's been seared into my body. he thought bitterly, thinking of the small symbol on the inside of his left wrist.

When the iron touched his skin, he struggled not to pull it away. Even if it wasn't his first mark, it didn't make the experience enjoyable, by any stretch. Gritting his teeth, he shakes his head when the brand pulls away. Looking down, he inspected the singed flesh, not eager to pull the leather sleeve back down on top of it just yet.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

May complies. She makes short work of her bracers but as the elf turns towards her, she can't help but feel that something is amiss. She is also weary that she doesn't seem to have seen the brand on others before. Unsure whether that is a bane or a boon, she waits for the pang to hit and yearns that it goes away quick.

Excellent! the King exclaims. There is a cart at the gates that you may ride to Veritas. Should be about a three days journey, barring any storms or miscreants. Go there, seek out Kashin Soiltwister in his workshop and retrieve my item, then return. Simple as that. Should be back in a weeks time. Any questions?

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

Jorrel nods at the kings answer, although he doesn't really know why. Instead of worrying about it he asks a question of his own,

"Sire, I am forever at your service and I look forward to performing this mission to the best of my ability. The mission itself does not concern me, it seems trivial. But that leads me to wonder why you would send three of us, who you call the most promising recruits, on such an easy mission. Forgive me if I am speaking out of line, sire."

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

That is a valid question. This mission has two reasons to it. Firstly, I want to see how well you can follow simple orders once you are actually in the field. Secondly, this item is of extreme importance and it cannot be trusted in the hands of ordinary soldiers and especially not civilians. The King stares at you with a look that you can't quite read.

She keenly waits for that awkward moment of silence before blurting "Off to the cart then." She gives a small curtsy and slowly backs away. "Prostration is weird. Why do people do it anyway? Is it about height? The juicy angle for the neck? Glib groveling?" she think to herself as she tries not to think about the stiffening scar.

I sure do hope the ride isn't bumpy. Hi Eddie and Jorrel. The name is May. Do you think our 'appointee' is going to indulge us with a look beneath that golden cage?"

Edwin grimaces. Always with this question. Always with the same looks afterwards. Well, better they know now and not later. THAT didn't work well last time. he thinks to himself. He tugs the glove off his left hand and pushes the sleeve back, showing the inch wide brand on the inside of his left wrist, marking him as part of a group of erstwhile youths.

Gave me my choice when I got caught. Serve time in uniform or in bars. Uniform seemed a better chance to make a heap o' coin.

"Now, keep a wide headroom from me or I couldn't guarantee you staying whole. You go batten down the hatches and I'll take first watch."

She looks for a good perch and then dumps her pack. She fluffs it up soon after to support her lower back as she reclines. She barks "Go sleep." as soon as she feels the conversation has ended.

Edwin slips back down the hill just enough that he can right himself to sprint back to the group. He skids to a halt as he gets near enough to speak without shouting.

Three bandits, with three hostages. The cart is rolled and they are counting out gold. If we are to try saving these folks, we would need to either make our approach seem innocent, which, with you here sir that's not likely to succeed. The other option is to hit them hard and fast, not giving them a chance to harm the folk tied up on the ground.

As he talks he climbs into the drivers' seat and stashes his unsheathed sword just behind the seat, out of sight. With his cloak wrapped tight around him nobody would be able to spot his armour unless they were right on top of him, and by then it would be too late.

As she sees the approach, she gives Eddie a cursory glance as to gauge his intentions. "Well, we're pulling them from the hearties so I guess the works" she thinks to herself. She plants herself firmly and starts minding her breath. "Maybe a little bit closer. Just a few more paces chums." She pulls out a dagger and gingerly runs it through the seams and studs of her bracers. She makes a measured rhythmic clicking noise that she believes to be vaguely discernable from their distance with the troop.

He stands up on the footrest of the cart and ever so slowly reaches back, then lifts his greatsword high, moving very slowly so they can get the best possible view of every one of its sixty-four inches. He then flourishes it as he jumps down to the left of the cart.

"Not a good day to be a bandit," he says as he saunters towards them.

The bandits suddenly find they are being advanced upon from two fronts and Jorrel decides that with their attention split, now is the time to pick up the pace. He heads directly for the lead bandit, sword held in a guard position in front, and murder in his eyes. Just as he’s almost on top of the man, Jorrel continues his thought from before,

"No, not a good day at all," and he swings his greatsword...

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

A part of Jorrel, a very deep part, felt sympathy for these bandits; they were barely more than kids, desperate pathetic kids. But the rest of him was out for justice, and the hearrtache that these unfortunates had wrought more than justified their fate. He felt the familiar anger boiling up, infusing his muscles with a frantic energy. He could see his allies boxing them in and he knew the fight was over, they just didn’t know it yet.

Time for them to find out, he thought, swinging his sword round in a long wide strike from behind himself, aiming up under the arm of the one who hadn’t yet been injured...

It’s just the opening the final bandit needs, and he thrusts his sword deep into Jorrel’s midrif. The pain explodes through him and, just for a moment, he is back in the hospice, his old wounds healing, and the power of a god is just beyond reach.

He was going to die, but at least he could have served some useful purpose for ten bleedin' minutes before you did him in. Edwin says levelly.

I swear, the tactical foresight the gods gave a stump in the mud. How this one ever rose to this military position without a working appreciation for information flow will forever be beyond me. he thinks to himself as he stows the rapier and draws a dagger, slicing through the prisoners' bonds.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

Jorrel leans back against the cart. Now that the Adrenalin has worn off the pain of his wound is really taking over. But now isn’t the time to enjoy it, he can see his life blood leaking away. He props his sword against the wheel then removes his chain and vest. The wound is deep, and the scar will eventually be at home among its brothers. He sees the family staring at his grotesque body, trying to shield the boy from the sight although he is peeking. Jorrel resists the temptation to roar, to scare them, so instead he just gets on with tending the wound. He covers the cut with both hands and closes his eyes, reaching deep into the pain, deep down to where he can feel his god...

When he takes his hand away the wound is significantly reduced, with just a little bit of blood weeping from the corner.

Jorrel watches the General ride off as the others start clearing the scene. He can't shake the feeling that something here is just wrong. First of all the whispering and passing of... something. Of course that was probably totally innocent, most likely words of condolence and a gift to help them get started up in a new life. But. But it just seemed odd. And now the General telling them to "do what you want". A phrase that Jorrel had never in all his years in the army heard any senior officer say to one of their juniors.

He snaps out of his reverie and sets to work helping the others, trying not to make it obvious that he is deliberately bending at his wound to cause the maximum amount of pain. As he works he watches his new companions, wondering if they too are wondering about the General.

Probably not, he supposes, not really military types.

"Odd one that, he says, gesturing after the retreating horse, "I've never met a General so... unconcerned with his subordinates. I suppose being in a special task force has it's benefits.

Jorrel just grunts in response to Eris as he gets his bedroll ready and then sits with his rations. The stars are bright, so it will be a cold night, but these are the kinds of nights that Jorrel had always loved best. He could stare at the heavens for hours, lost in their depths. He wondered if the gods similarly stared back down in wonder, or if this world was little more than an anthill to them. Lost in his thoughts he doesn't immediately realise that he starts telling the group a story,

"I 'member back in the early days of the Killmane Conquests. The stinkin' dwarfs were still an organised force back then, and they used to make sport of smashin' our patrols in the mountains. The patrol would make camp for the night, in a nice sheltered spot like this'n, and in the mornin' all that'd be left is ashes from their fire. Well ol' Cap'n Hornfast, he got tired of bein' scared of those short-ass basts, an' he decided to do somethin' about it. He sent a patrol out, as usual. Then as night fell, the whole rest o' the detachment, we crept out o' our own camp and surrounded that hollow. We caught the little blighters comin' up from some hidden burrow, lookin' ta sneak in ta camp and slaughter our men. It wasn't humans who were slaughtered that night, ah can tell ya'. We took our torches and cleared out that whole tunnel, we foun' whole families of that filth cowerin' under there and we showed no more mercy than they would us.

"The long an' short o' it is; we saved human lives. Those basts woulda saw every one o' our kind cloven in two, but we got to 'em first. An' I'd gladly go back an' do it all again. But ah take no pleasure in killin' those of me own race, even bandits like those back on the road. An' ah think that any time we can take ta help humans down on their luck, well that's the opposite o' wastin' time."

This entire time he had been staring at the fire, but now he looks the General dead in the eye,

"With respect, sir."

If you think for one second that I give a damn about you, then you need to think again. The King may have you as part of this special little task force, but from what I can tell, you’re easily replaceable. Without taking a breath, he whips his head around to Jorrel. The humans were saved. Their items weren’t salvageable so we wasted time cleaning up. You wanted to help them? Do what I did and give them enough gold to start over in the capital. I gave them 5000 gold, what did you give them. Soldier. Eris really emphasizes the last word.

With the sun low on the horizon, Edwin hears some chittering in the distance - like something or things talking. With the light as low as it is, Edwin can't quite make out anything other than the sounds, which appear to be getting closer and closer.

Jorrel still stands there, breath coming in huge gulps, while he lets the pain of his wounds engulf him. After some time he stretches his back and cracks his shoulders, before wiping the gore from his sword with one of the kobold’s cloaks. He finds a rock to sit on and peels off his armor, examining the wound underneath for a time before calling on the power of his god to knit close the wound.

He looks up as Edwin takes the daggers and grins,

"I prefer they know it was me who killed ‘em, whoever they are."

He glances at the still-catatonic May and quickly looks away, then whispers to Edwin,

"I’ve seen this before. She won’t be much more help on this mission. We should drop her at the next inn."

Edwin shakes his head at May's dressing down. How she got into the group to begin with is beyond me. Seizing up like that in the face of the enemy. Gods above only know what would have happened had it been something more dangerous than these little scalies. he thinks quietly as he starts packing his own gear up, getting ready to move out.

You certainly seem able to take a beating Jorrel. We could likely use that advantageously in the future. If you can draw their eye, I can pincushion them pretty neatly.

Jorrel grins at Edwin,

It'd be my distinct pleasure, he says, a note of grim humor in his voice, "wouldn't want yer pretty clothes gettin' torn by some nasty sword, would we."

Jorrel then squeezes Edwin's shoulder in a sign of camaraderie, the closest he will come to giving any kind of compliment.

"Not long until it's light. Ya'd better get some rest while ya still can."

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

You push through the day. The skies are clear and the temperature is good. Your travel makes good time. The sun is where it would be in late afternoon when the mountain peaks over the plains. As you approach the mountain, you see a city built into it. You see different layers going up the mountain and presumably within. At the front of the city is a large wall and sturdy gate. As you approach, the human guards look down, see Eris, and immediately open the gates.

You enter the city. For those that have never been, it's a wonder. Rock homes and shops are everywhere. Steel, rock, and iron dominate the scenery. You see dwarves running to and fro, all of them seem to be unarmed with the exception of a few with picks and shovels. Everything seems to be mechanical, which is highly uncommon everywhere except here. You leave your cart at the stables and Eris tells you to follow him.

Eris leads you to a shop, not too far into the city. A sign on the outside reads Kashin's Inventions. Inside is like nothing you have ever seen: vials of various sizes and shapes and colors are everywhere, sometimes dripping into each other, weapons and items of all shapes and sizes hang on walls and lie in cases. There are only two people in the store, a gnome who seems to be moving from vial to vial talking to himself, and a female human behind a counter.

As they head through the city, Edwin is amazed at the sheer size of most of the things. The only real time the wonder leaves his eyes is when a sneer of disdain fills them at the sight of the dwarves.

Edwin looks at Jorrel before turning back to the two folks in the shop.

There was no mention of intermediaries of any kind. Though if you can help, so be it. Edwin says, keeping his voice steady. Is the package for the king ready?

The woman sighs. Unfortunately for the last few weeks, Kashin has been declining mentally. He's rather old, even for gnomes. He mostly gets his jobs done on time, but this one he could not. You know the ore he was babbling about? He doesn't have any, hasn't for some time. About three weeks ago or supplier stopped delivering for no reason. The only way the package is getting made, is for someone to retrieve the ore.

Edwin looks at the woman with a momentary blank stare. Well, my compatriots seem to have abandoned me along the way. If the only way this package is getting made is with this ore, it would seem that I would be well-served to recover the ore, now wouldn't it? Provided I can do that, what kind of time delay is there in producing the king's package? Additionally, has anyone sent word back to the king that his package was to be delayed because of this supply issue? he says, mind already running down the list of things that need to be done in short order.

Also, I hate to be a burden, but I'm new to town and my escort is no longer here. Where would you recommend as a place to bunk down for the night? Preferably someplace I may be able to find a few willing souls to help me in recovering the ore?

Well, I guess here's the details. I was sent down here with a handful of other soldiers to pick up a package for the King from Kashin's shop. It would appear that the doddering old fool hasn't realized he wasn't even given the materials to produce the King's package. Per his assistant, it should only be a few hours of work once he gets the ore. Apparently, we should be able to get the ore for Kashin from the mines to the south side of the city. If we move quickly, we should be able to make it back before shops all close. Edwin says, simply and straightforward.

It takes a long time for you to move the rocks, about 8 hours. Finally, you manage to remove enough rubble that you can get the miners out. About a dozen humans and elves climb through the hole you managed to make. As they clamor out of the tunnel, they thank you.

I would assume that the mines would have a list of standing orders for master Kashin, would they not? Edwin says flatly.

The human shrugs his shoulders. Kashin has his own people that purchase ore from miners, not necessarily a standing order. That being said, if it is for Kashin, its 100% Bauxiliam Ore. This mountain is the only provider of the ore on the continent and it's full of magical properties. If you go back towards the way you came in and instead of going straight to us, you would go to your left. Travel down that tunnel for a bit then take a right. There should be some more miners that can direct you from there.

As you make your way through the maze-like tunnels, following the instructions the human gives you, you manage to make it to a group of miners, primarily dwarves with the foreman being a tall, gray human. Keep it up boys and drinks'll be on me! He shouts encouragement to them.

Aye, bauxilium ore. Tunnel closed or not, the king is depending on the item from Kashin, and that can't be done until we recover the ore the gentleman was supposed to receive. We were told you could provide further directions. he says, feeling a familiar dislike for administrative red tape rising up in the back of his mind.

You make your way deeper into the cave. The torches and lanterns become fewer and farther apart. The tunnels get narrow and shorter, until you can barely move through them without crouching. A bright light suddenly shines about 100' feet in front of you and you look up to see a wooden door with a small dwarf standing in front of it.

For the suplex, i'm going to say that if you succeed on your grapple, the next turn you can attempt a suplex as a strength attack. The DC will be small since drakes are not large creatures. Although, the drake attack happens before your attack, so please watch order.

Looking bloodied and beaten, the drake releases a cone of fire from his mouth.

Edwin takes a moment and pulls a small cloth from his pocket and wipes down his blade. Slipping it back into its sheath, he sets about recovering arrows from wherever they were in the room. After that, he will quietly inspect the dragon, looking for any loose scales he could collect or any strange markings or indicators about how it came to be in the space.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

Exiting the healing waters Orrin accompanies his companions back into the room with the baffling puzzle.

"Perhaps we need to get the colors in chromatic order from nw to se...kind of clockwise? I have to admit this has me quite perplexed. Or maybe we need to press all the buttons on all the boxes simultaeneously!

Did we ever determine the use of these gloves?

Thanks Bigdogg, hadn't even thought of that myself *lol*

Herod grabs everyone and lines them up onto each corner (Kozma to the northeast, Orrin to the northwest, Edwin to the southeast, and Guille walks to the southwest.
Okay, we need to figure out the best way to make every cube the same color simultaneously. Let us try to push the buttons at the same time and see what happens. On the count of 3, everyone push the left-most button. One...two...three... He pushes the left-most button, and hopes the others do the same.

As you all push the same button, the colors cycle and return to what they were. Nothing seems to happen. Guile remembers that you have to all push a button that changes the color on each individual box to the same color, not all press the same button.

Guille walks up to Kozma. Kothma, plees poosh numero dos from the left. Guille points to the second button from the left.

Guille walks up to Orrin. Orreeen, el numero uno, por favor. The button farthest on the left. Guille points to the button farthest to the left.

Guille walks up to Edwin. Edvin, por fis poosh el numero cuatro. Guille points to the button farthest to the right.

He then walks to the southwest box and says, Again, on tres.Uno...dos...tres! Guille pushes the third button.

Re: Chapter 1: The Beginning

@Guille other than the bluish tinge to the amulet, you don't see or know anything about this blade.

@Orrin while examining it closely, you see a faded script on the back that you do not recognize. You can't recall any information about an amulet like this.

The amulets are hemp rope attached to a wooden circle. It has a bluish tint to it, that seems unnatural.

Well either the ghost will bring us to what we need to lay to rest or these "magic" items will kills us. Either way I haven't made enough renown to die like this yet. Kozma scratches at the amulet on his arm. Either way, what ever we do we should do it quickly!
