Baldwin the Merciful's - CoT Campaign
Game Master baldwin the merciful

To Lucrezia: Sorry. The Captain said there was some things going on here tonight that we were all unaware of.

"We will be taking our leave, fine sword-woman." He motions over to Faelyn, "We were simply conversing in a freer tongue" His men get up and march out but not without taking the last pot.

Lucrezia glares all around at everyone. "Am I going to have to deal with any trouble from these goings on?"

After the gnome leaves, Faelyn mouths to his group through the message spell: We need to speak in private as soon as possible.

Sunny continues to hover about near where the fellows are causing the ruckus...though, since it seems to be dying down with the Gnome taking charge she starts to drift away again.

Right back at him, Lucrezia sends: Andrea, Duncan and Orsin aren't here right now. How soon you wanting?

We probably need the whole group. There was an invisible duergar in here tonight. By the way, the gnome can see invisibility. He must be pretty powerful.

Andrea sings a little song that seems to have reached Glorian from the expanse of space.

'I' before 'e' except after 'c', or as sounded as 'a' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'

I'm bored. Whined Emily.

I was bored as well when I had to sit for lessons. We'll take a litle break.

Sunny moves closer to Lucrezia,

"Be everything okeys, then?" She asks the other woman, still keeping an eye on the disappearing rowdies.

"I think so. At least for now. The night is still young though so we may yet get the chance to throw someone else out on their face for misbehavin."

Sunny-you would hear our message conversation too.

Duncan walks in in uncustomary leather armor, a large shield in hand and a war hammer in his belt.
He quickly surveys the room and thanks Ragathiel that his new wizard ally and apparently, everybody else is departed.

What's goin on? To damn quiet for a bar. Barkeep, one round a mead on me so we can get some damn fun happenin in this dive!!

The tension cools when the gnome and Faelyn spoke.

The bar has calmed down when Duncan enters wearing uncustomary light armor and large shield. You can see Sunny buzzing around the room, while Lucrezia looks at boiling point. She is muttering something about needing a minotaur, mithral spurs and golden lasso."

Faelyn looks concerned, staring at the dice on the table.

There's hearty roar with Duncan's free mead offer. Aye, tank ye guud sir and buy yerself one to." A pleasant customer utters.

There's hearty roar with Duncan's free mead offer. Aye, tank ye guud sir and buy yerself one to." A pleasant customer utters.

Ha! One's just a start!

A couple good natured fellows slap you on the back thanking you for the drink.

A bit disappointed she isn't going to get the chance to break someone's face in, Lucrezia grabs a mead for herself and then wanders back over to where Duncan and Faelyn are.

Zzzzzzzzzzz..Oh Fiosa, I just can't eat any more of your dumpling stew..Zzzzz..

"Allright Faelyn, now that they left, what were you two really saying to each other in that pretty little language of yours? I'm guessing you weren't exchanging pledges of eternal love."

Irrisen Icewine Duncan. Thank you. He looks up at Lucrezia. Well...it started out with me telling him that I did not appreciate him casting a spell on me and that I would gladly return the favor. Then I told him his dogs could head back to the ship if they couldn't act civilized. Finally, I told him that I also didn't appreciate him setting me up with the dagger. That is when he told me there was an invisible Duergar in here this evening.

Zzz..Yes..Summon a Shadowbeast..I can do it..Zzzz

Andrea rolls over and flops and arm across Fiosa, domestic bliss seemingly come at last to the troubled priestess.

Lucrezia finally looks more puzzled than frustrated now. "Seriously? An invisible Duergar just roaming about here? That's a rather ridiculous thing to say?"

Well someone or something dropped the dagger next to me. I figured it was the gnome. Either way, the troubling thing is that he can see through invisibility. If we end up fighting them at the docks, we need to have a plan to deal with him.

Lucrezia shrugs. "Shoot him from a distance with lots of arrows?"

Unless he puts up a wind wall. I wanted to go invisible and summon a giant toad to swallow his tiny arse!

"He wouldn't even know the first few were coming to put up s&++."

Let's hope he doesn't practice divination. Maybe I should get some rest. Do you know if everyone is planning on meeting tomorrow?

After finishing her numbers and silly sing song rhymes she snuggles down between Andrea and Fiosa.

The rest of the evening is uneventful at the Grotto. The talent is busy as their rooms ar filled with paying clients. Orn's eyes are heavy as he taps another keg getting the place ready for the morning. Silas busies himself cleaning the bar while his wife closes up the kitchen.

Alphonse has not been seen all evening.

Yay!.

Mm..Have to see if I can get something made for Emily. Something that will carry a Sanctuary spell. m..Maybe Alistar can advise..Zzzz

Andrea sleeps until the morning and then heads out to meet with the others.

Hey there Lucrezia, I had a great idea. How about I try to summon a shadow beast and we can see hwat exactly the fuss is about?

Yeah, umm bout the Derugar. Lucrezia, there any private rooms here?

"Uhm, well, lots of private rooms, this is a brothel. Except as busy as it is tonight they're all in use. We can head to my room upstairs though. Just don't mind the clothes on the floor."

Hopping into a private room as one becomes availabile at Lucrezia's suggestion, Duncan comes clean,
Gotta make my apologies, the Derugar was me in disguise and invisible. Was trying to catch yer boss alone so's he could have an accident. Them kids today done it fer me an this has been going on too long. We can't save the world but ending that scumbag is a sure way to help the kids her.
As fer the dagger, I was trying to start a ruckus t'get his guards t' leave the door.

You letting Faelyn in on this confession, Duncan?

"I sure wouldn't mind something unpleasant happening to that fatass lecher. He can't even keep his hands of my ass. I'm sure he's going to be testing out all the "new talent" personally. Poor kids. Probably why he's been so scarce tonight. I ain't seem him out in the main room at all tonight and that's kinda unusual when we are so busy. I swear watches just to get a hard on just thinking about the money that he'll be bringing in from the customers. He's even been pushing me to take on some clients since offers started coming in for me since we were in that thrice be damned six-fold play."

Yep. Thankfully my saves vs Magic are really high ;)

Faelyn is shocked for a moment and then breaks out in laughter. I am not sure how much help I require to cause a ruckus, but that sure added a spark. He listens to the two discuss Alphonse and nods his head in agreement. I wouldn't mind seeing that fat slob get his.

Asuming it is the next day
John will head to pickup his armor the first thing in the morning. He willthen head over to the grotto to meet with everyone else.

Sunny spends the evening being her usual, friendly self. Though, should any of the patrons inquire, she herself is a paying customer and hence not on the menu. (^_~)

Eventually Sunny will be toddling off to bed. Come the morning she will see if Tracy, or any of the girls, wish to go out and do a bit of shopping.

Or are the bouncer and are the one who will be bouncing people out of they get too grabby. :)

Sunny understands 'Fun'...again her motto be 'Be nice. Until t'is time t' not be nice'. (^_^)

The Patrick Swayze model to bouncing.

The next day at the Grotto is hopping quite early. The friendly tavern folk are earning morning silvers, the joys of commerce. The smell of fresh rolls and ham filtrates the air.

John you are greeted by Silas daughter, Raenny, who shows you to large table and waits for your breakfast order. "Others aren't up yet..get you something to eat and drink?"

*Laughs @ Dm understanding the humor* (^_^)

As the morning lite filters into her room Sunny snuggles against whom ever is sharing her mattress. (^_^)

Faelyn gets up early and heads down to the common room. He picks a remote table and studies his daily spells. He then pulls out the new spell book and begins focusing on it.

Faelyn you see the big human, introduced as John he was late arriving at the Grulios house yesterday, sitting at a table by himself when you come to the common room.

Sunny all the of staff were busy last night, so they aren't therer for snuggling but you were able to find a couple friendly sailors to keep you company. The familiar smell of sea salt fills the room.

There is soft nudge and whisper, "I need to go Orsin." She kisses you sensuously, then slithers out of bed.

Not t'be a bother, but I think Sunny be more interested in more exotic types of fair. Folks of a nautical persuasion be dime a dozen t'her. Jus' sayin'. Also, thought I'd posted that Sunny were 'getting in quick' with paying fer certain people's attention? She doesn't want the person she plans to go shopping with all tuckered out. (^_^)
