"Who should we ask fer help?"

"On tha one hand tha town guards might help, o tha seedy under-belly might be o help, o even gettin out o town might be a good idea."
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane sips at her drink. "Well... talking to that Lady guard might help..." She thinks out loud.

DM will assume that is the case, should no one else offer any suggestion.

For now the barkeep offers you a free round as his only customers....

I actually have something to post, but I am hella tired right now, and need to pass out for a bit.
Male Shadeling Shadowcaster Wizard 5(Shadow Subscool)/Veiled Illusionist 1

When Erky mentions the underbelly, Kheldor brightens visibly. A neat trick seeing as how he's cloaked in shadows "I believe the seedy underbelly might be a good way to go. Though that lady guard could be useful as well. Perhaps our friendly fire orc and I can hit the underworld and Ms Xane, Erk and Sir Res can talk to the guard??"
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Kheldor's good cheer seems contagious. Xane brightens as a 'Plan' seems to come together. :)

Kheldor and Gurukk

Spoiler:

You looking like vey unsavory types, soon you find out that Brindinford supports a small thieves’ guild, which operates under the front of a legitimate merchant company in Eastgate....though at the moment the name of the company is not something you know...

I will assume you head towards Eastgate

Erky, Xane and Respen

Spoiler:

You manage to track down (remember) that the guard barracks are at the corner of the wall that surrounds the Baron’s keep. It is a low stone building that juts out from the watch tower at the southeast corner of the Keep. I will assume you head towards the guard barracks

Male Shadeling Shadowcaster Wizard 5(Shadow Subscool)/Veiled Illusionist 1

Eastgate:

"As do I my fiery friend, as do I. Let us go talk to some in an effort to learn something useful"

He concentrates for a few moments, and his appearance shifts to that of a rather well off merchant with a slightly dangerous air about him. Using my Veil Pool power to adopt the disguise of a human merchant lord 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36 Disguise and the DC to disbelieve the illusion is 20

HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane gives Gurukk and Kheldor's arms friendly/reassuring squeezes before they leave the Pub.

"Remember, remind any one that threatens you they'll be finding me even more threatening..." She tells them before wandering off with Sir Respen and Erky.

At the Guard house:
Xane saunters up to the building they've been seeking and looks to either knock on the door or speak to whom ever is standing outside.

Kheldor and Gurukk
The seedy under-belly

Spoiler:

From one of the alleyways a youth approaches Gurukk. "Glad I found you, right this way."

This warehouse attached office and upstairs living quarters seems all the other busy businesses of Eastgate’s mercantile world. Perhaps your information was incorrect and the Gold Tabard Merchant Company is just a business like any other.

The lad leads you to a small hidden room and introduces you….”Thos, I was able to locate the heros.”

Thos is a well known Halfling rogue who used to live in the area, though many believe he is dead.

"Good job, welcome this situation is bad for business and I would like your help."

======================================================

Erky, Xane and Respen
The guard barracks

Spoiler:

You manage to track down the guard barracks at the corner of the wall that surrounds the Baron’s keep. It is a low stone building that juts out from the watch tower at the southeast corner of the Keep.

A couple of human guards and two barghests watch the entrance.

Watch is all they do as you pass into the building and find Lieutenant Shella, in her office at the barracks the strong, stocky woman with a square face, a hooked nose, and her big bastard sword lain across her desk, unsheathed with a whetstone, a leather strap and a cloth nearby.

Directly in front of her is a piece of paper and she appears to be scribbling furiously.

”Can’t you see I am busy here?’

Diplomacy check and role-playing…

For the office of the town guard

a hook on the wall holds a large iron key ring with a single brass key upon the ring….
Male Shadeling Shadowcaster Wizard 5(Shadow Subscool)/Veiled Illusionist 1

Uh, Kender, did you miss my uber disguise check? Unless the boy has true seeing, I look nothing like Kheldor, the hero.
M somewhat akin to a kender Y / MA

Sorry for the confusion, you are correct the boy only recognized Gurukk. The lad assumed that bringing even one person from the group constituted contact with the "heroes". Also assumed that he would bring anyone who was with one of the heroes along as well....So yes at this point no one knows who this rich merchant with Gurukk might be...

At the Captain's words Xane blinks. Raises a hand and opens her mouth as if to say something. Then stops and looks to Erky and Respen.

Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

For a moment Xane looks completely nonplussed...then she notices the door to the room is open. She steps over to it, glances out into the room/corridor beyond before gently but firmly shutting said portal and turning, leaning her weight back against it. Se smiles to Erky and Respen. (^_^)

Xane and the Shorts:
Respen moves up the Captain, "My dear Captain, can you spare some of your precious time to talk to the heroes of the city about the new laws and your new found partnership with these creatur....new troops?"

"It seems that right now you and your friends are just as much criminals as the rest of us. Can we count on you and your friends help?"

The rogues watch the merchant but don't really address him...

Erky, Xane and Respen
The guard barracks

Spoiler:

"Sir Respen I appreciate you and your friends in all the help you have given, I believe that really it is best you not interfere.”

”I recommend you stay indoors and obey the proclamation to the best of your ability.”

Xane nods again, seeming to totally agree with the Lady captain.

"Those dogs? They are real ugly..." She repeats, even emphasizing things...
M somewhat akin to a kender Y / MA

The Guard barracks

Spoiler:

"Honestly I am busy completing my reports, yes the dogs and other creatures are ugly."

Lt Shella is indeed scribbling furiously on some documents that seem to need an official signature and seat.

She dips her quill into her inkwell and continues writing.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

The Guard barracks:
Xane shuffles her feet for a few moments and looks embarrassed, even as she glances to her friends to see if they have any polite things/way to explain why the group is here... (>_>)
Male Halfling Paladin-2/ Rogue(investigator)-2/Inquistor-2

The Guard Barracks:
The elder halfling grinds his teeth with frustration at the Lieutenant's words then calms himself and replies to her, "Lieutenant Shella, I come here to warn you of the creatures your Leader has made a pact with are dangerous and will cause you more harm then any of the cults that we stopped. I hate to see a city I saved just to be destroyed from the inside. We won't keep you from your paperwork, just be careful and if you ever need to talk you know where to find me." The halfling stares as he salutes her, then bows and politely walks away.

Stare uses detect evil and reading her reaction to my comments.

Gurukk shrugs, "Gurukk is fine working with you, but Gurukk works for Shadow-m, err Gurukk means this guy here now. Once Gurukk is done with that sure we, err Gurukk would do it."

Thos @ Gurukk
"I appreciate your willingness. We were going to do something today."

”Look we were gonna look into this ourselves, we are discussing doing one of these things quietly tonight; scouting the Temple, scouting the Baron’s Keep, Investigating Eastgate merchant recruitment, or seekin aid from without.”

======================================================

Erky, Xane and Respen
The guard barracks

Spoiler:

"I am doing my best to keep you all safe. We of the town guard are not even sure what is going on. We are making arrangements for the worst."

She shows you some oils of magic weapon..."Most of the guards would just die turning on these things, and the few of us that might survive won't be able to without more of this." points at the oils.

"Please keep yourselves safe till the time comes."

Seedy under belly:

Kheldor stays quiet, just listening for the moment, though he does look around for anything of particular note Taking 10 on Perception for an 20

Seedy underbelly
Kheldor

Spoiler:

Several documents are arranged on the desk mostly they cover the possibilities that Thos was talking about having some member of the theives guild actually doing.

One report states that the Speaker is involved in recruiting merchants. Other documents are about the baron's keep and the best routes to scout the temple..

It appears as if the guild is going to do something, they are just not certain what....

Spoiler:
"Thank you for your time, we have learned alot and should probably re-group and find out what Kheldor an Gurukk have found out."

The Guard barracks:
Even though Xane scratches her head, seeming un-pleased by something, she nods and agrees with Erky.
M somewhat akin to a kender Y / MA

When you arrive back at the Inn you each get to summerize as above...

Or I can handwave and write a summary
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane plonks herself down and, after ordering another round for the gang, sighs as she mulls over what she, Erky and Respen didn't learn...
Male Halfling Paladin-2/ Rogue(investigator)-2/Inquistor-2

"It looks like the guards don't care for the creatures, but at the time they think they will be slaughtered by them. So they are waiting til they forced to take action againist them."
Male Gnome Fighter / Cleric

"Thas about right they err makin preparations to do somethin but Lt. Shelia herself wouldn't last long gainst them ugly dogs."

@ Edrukk
"What yah learn from tha other side o tha law?"
M somewhat akin to a kender Y / MA

Soon enough you compare notes:

Town guard
The guards are prepping in the event they have to defend themselves against the creatures, but they are far from ready to do so, they would prefer you guys stay under the radar until the right time to help them.

The Rogues guild
Offered to help in several ways: scouting the Temple, scouting the Baron’s Keep, Investigating Eastgate merchant rumors of recruitment, or seeking aid from beyond the city walls.
Male Gnome Fighter / Cleric

Erky takes another drink of ale...

"So aside from this list o obvious help it seems tha thieves guild could get us out o town or could do tha jail-break on tha young clerics?...if we ask em to?"
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane frowns, absently rubbing a hand through her hair,

"Why can't we just...I don't know... Just go and see the Baron. Confront him with the bad things that are happening. Wait for who ever is actually making this bad stuff happen pop up to protect their interests and 'BAM!" get them over and done with?"
Male Gnome Fighter / Cleric

"Well.....first we got to shut that gate down...that door for ugly dogs, or we will be fighting those over and over and what-ever else comes through it, till we die o sheer exhaustion."
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane's frown deepens, "What..'Gate'...?" She asks.
M somewhat akin to a kender Y / MA

You remember hearing a loud crash earlier, but were not sure what was going on. Erky did see it happen though and points you to outside.

After the Baron’s proclamation and the town criers have repeated the message a thunderous crash was heard. The dome of the Temple collapsed and a gout of flame streaked skyward.

At Erky's urging you look that way... sure enough
The fire continues to burn into the night glowing in the overcast sky, visible anywhere in town.

Several reports of hellish creatures coming forth from those same flames and stalking the town are repeated in quiet whispers.
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane's frown deepens. "So.. how do we smash this gate, thing?" She asks.
Male Halfling Paladin-2/ Rogue(investigator)-2/Inquistor-2

"I wonder, but I think the information we could use just went up in flame.." Respen says quietly as he watches the flames and whispers a prayer for the city.
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane glances to Respen, "Well... no. That's just a building. The people who were inside are all safe and sound in the Baron's Keep." She grins, though with little mirth, "Right handy, that."
Male Gnome Fighter / Cleric

"Well at least tha low level clerics they managed tah capture, are being held by tha town guard."

Erky scratches his head...."Wonder if Lt. Shelia got them fancy potions from tha temple err from tha clerics o tha temple."

"Maybe tha thieves guild would be willin to do tha jail break o tha clerics? Breakin people out o jail is not somethin I know much about an I am plenty recognizable."

"I honestly don't know what tah does."
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane sets her mug down. "We do what's right." She says firmly.

"So... I think I might wander home. It's getting late and I'm all wrung out from the days events." So saying Xane stands with a nods and a wink to her companions.
Male Halfling Paladin-2/ Rogue(investigator)-2/Inquistor-2

"What if we hire the guild to follow the beasts and collect information of the Baron's intentions. What do you think?" Respen asked the group.
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane nods, in response to Respen's question as she's about to head out/off for the night.

"Yeah. Any action is good action, I reckon.
Male Gnome Fighter / Cleric

"That'll work. Lets go ask them to do it."
HP 36 / 59,AC 18, Perc:+6,Init:+2,Fort:+6,Ref:+2,Wil:+0,

Xane brightens, happy that there's some action. :)
M somewhat akin to a kender Y / MA

You have no trouble finding your way back to the Gold Tabbard Merchant Company. The look outs and scouts of the guild have no problem noticing your approach.

Once you are safely inside Thos the guild leader rushes to meet you.

"So you have decided upon our assistance? What favor might we bestow upon you, before the day gets too late?"

As a note it is late afternoon....but that's ok the guild operates mostly at night anyway...
