This is Council of Thieves AP. Westcrown, City of Twilight, once was the center of Aroden's faith, but now it symbolizes despair. By day, the city remains a vibrant center of trade; but, by night only those with a death wish venture out.

Orn's shows his toothy smile. Enjoying her arm. "They treated me well enough...especially, lately." he has trouble look on his face, "thought I'd not see you again...I was told I was sold to the fighting pits."

His eyes brighten up, "things much much better once nice lawyer come. Hope raised."

Truk felt a pang of anger at seeing Lucrezia wrapped around another orc's arm but he dismissed it quickly. This was his brother and he was finally free. He wasn't going to let some crazy idea of ownership over the beautiful ranger ruin the special day.

Love is patient...

Indeed. Madam Noguilt, let us go over any remainign details while these three get reaquainted.

Andrea casually gets the left-ove rmoney from Truk to pay any remaining fees.

Truk hands over the coin without a second thought.


"Oh I can get the permit and the paper work down for a paltry 300 gold, call it goodwill."

This has already cost Truk a fortune. What's another 300 gold?

Done! Thank you very much. Andrea counts out the money. (3014 gp left for Truk) I do hope you will be in Westcrown for a special event. Orsin is planning to do a special farewell performance. It seems he wishes to focus on some other matters and will be gathering the talents of Calseinica Nymmis and Robhal Nonon. I am certain that he would be more than delighted to give you an excellent seat in recognition of your help to us. Just be sure to pass the word along. Andrea winks slightly as she advertises for her friend.

He gives her a kiss on the forehead and rubs her shoulder. "I'm glad you've agreed to do with this me. I'll give you the details once they've been finalized. I'm thinking the Lovers' Duet from The Andoran Heresey? We can talk about it more later."

Before leaving, he stands in the threshold of her dressing room once more. "You really were lovely up there." He smiles and exits.

Andrea will leave with Orn,Lucrezia and Truk when they are ready. Let's head to the Hungry Hound for a meal. Orn is no doubt famished for good food after being in that cell.


Evil GM

John your mentor is in his study sipping a fine plum wine when you arrive. {b]"Welcome, you look well,"[/b] his eyes notices a few extra trinkets on the hellknight. "Looks like you are about ready for proper armor."


Evil GM

The Hound is hopping with business, more locals than ever seem to be there these days. The owners have a large table they have permanently reserved for you all. They appreciate the new business and the extra coin your their good fortune has brought them.

"Hullo there!"


Evil GM

Orsin you manage to find Andrea, Truk, Orn and Lucrezia at that Hungary Hound. There is basset hound at the end of bar, sleeping even with all the commotion going on. The bar is packed and overflowing, you see a stray piece of meat hit the floor and the hound quickly snatches it up, and resumes his sleeping position, before the man could bend to pick it up.

Lucrezia escorts Orn to their table and orders up a good bit of stew, cheese, bread, ale and whiskey. She sits to one side of Orn, giving Truk the option of either sitting next to her or sitting next to his brother.


Human, NPC

Gruum the rundown bar is everything you'd expect, it even has the seedy and down on their luck patrons there. All with shifty eyes and loking for a quick easy score.

Janiven takes a second to scout the den, [smaller]"be ready."[/smaller] She enters and flanked by her support. The two of you make your way to the bar, four ales and Hickufr" she tells the barkeep.

The barkeep scowls, "Who'sth astkin'" man missing his front teeth demands.

Truk happily takes a seat next to Lucrezia.

"So tell us brother? What happened in there?"

Grimm props up the bar and inhales his first ale.
We's askin. And make it 5 so the lady can have one too.


M NPC, half-orc Warrior/bouncer

His bushy single eyebrow raises when Truk sits next to Lucrezia, "Questions lots of questions...wanted to know about the missing girl" He pauses, "Little sleep at first, always woken up, then lots of water till I was so cold." He stops and shakes a bit. "Lots of questions about stolen property...law breaking.


Evil GM

Six ales with't showin' coin be stoopid fer me ta do." responds.

Grimm make a fame roll.

"Sounds like a rough time but I knew they wouldn't break you", Truk says with pride to his brother.

Truk puts an arm around Lucrezia and tips back his drink like a man without a care in the world.

"So what do you wanna do now?"

"Yes, instead of thinking of that horrible place, think now of what you want to do. You're a free man now and you never have to listen to anything that Alphonse says again."


M NPC, half-orc Warrior/bouncer

The low grumble begins again, it sounds like a building tidal wave.

"Thought of you" his eyes go to Lucrezia,"never expected my bro to claim you! His grumble continues. "Not what I'd expect from my flesh." His eyes on his traitorous sibling.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Andrea notices Truk putting his arm around Lucrezia and wiggles in between them. I'm sure that Orn and Lucrezia have a lot of catching up to do, bet Lucrezia has been rather lonely at night eh? Andrea winks at Orn.

Bluff to Truk: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Spoiler:
They have been involved. Orn misses Lucrezia dearly, wait for the right time to explain.

Andrea nods to Orsin as he walks in. Just in time Orsin, we are just going to celebrate not only Orn's release, but becoming a free man as well.

Made a mistake, did 1d10 instead of 1d20

Bluff: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

"First off, no one claims me. I am my own woman. Secondly, I thought you a lot too and was hoping to talk to the both you later about sharing my affections. Though I had hoped to let you enjoy your freedom and some good food and drink first."

Lucrezia lays a hand on each brothers arm. An affectionate gesture, but also one that will help her to stay between them in case things get heated.


Male Half-Orc Druid 8/Cleric 1 | HP: 116/116 l AC: 26 (30 with buffs, 32 vs the first 3 attacks per round) /T: 12/FF: 24 l Fort: +15*, Ref: +5*, W: +14* l Init: +0 l Per: +15; Low-light vision l Movement: 30 *Hardy: Gain +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities *Familiar:51/51

Truk initially raised a brow in confusion at his brother’s hostile attitude but as Andrea and Lucrezia begin speaking he quickly puts things together. Orn had mentioned that he and Lucrezia had had a tumble but he hadn’t said it was anything more than that. The younger but bigger orc’s immediately conflicted, he’d never wanted to hurt his brother but now that he had the perfect woman, he had no intention of letting her go. Truk found an involuntary growl rising in his own throat to rival Orns but he tried to push it down.

”I didn’t know she was that important to you Orn. You never said you loved her. You worked in a brothel, I figured you were ruttin’ with half the girls there.”


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Ahem, even if it was just having tumbles knowing that Lucrezia is worrying and waiting for him is what helped keep Orn going while in prison. All of us really messed up not speaking up about this before hand and just assuming it would be okay.

Andrea puts a calming hand on Orn's arm. Don't let mistakes drive a wedge between you and Truk. We can work things out so everyone can be happy.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Fair nuff call in this neighborhood. Fer yer trouble. Grimm and the Brothers o Westcrown keep good coin don't ye doub't

Grimm lays down the required coin and 2 extra gold.

M NPC, half-orc Warrior/bouncer

The two-half orcs are having a rumbling contest and the table begins to shake. "Share?" a confused look on his face,"like a leg o'lamb?" He frowns. "Orn was not rutting every girl at the grotto." He looks baffled by the time Orsin approaches.


Evil GM

Griim the toothless bartender's hand is lizard fast as he snatches up the coin, he quickly bites the metal with his back teeth to confirm they are gold. he nods his approval, I'll git 'im.

The gesture of placing gold on the bar gets three rough looking half-orcs attention. "Sqautty yer turn ti buy." One of them calls out.

"Orn, I don't think that Trouble here was very familiar with your habits back at the Grotto. Exact details can be discussed later on in private."

Truk remained silent as the girls tried to smooth things over. He matched his brother’s fierce glare with one of his own while the mad jumble of emotions going through his thoughts tried to sort itself out. On one hand, Orn was a rival for the woman he loved. He found himself wanting to flip over the Hound’s table, take Orn to the ground, and tear him apart - the two brothers hadn’t truly scrapped since they were pups but that fact wasn’t on his mind at the time. On the other hand, how would he know if Lucrezia felt the same about him if Truk had to pummel every other male that came within her sight? Not only that, this was his brother – the only family he had.

Love is Patient. Love is Kind.

The teachings of his goddess drifted through his thoughts wrestling with his alpha male male instincts.

Grimm places down his cup and wipes the froth frim his beard.
Bout time.
He matter of factly grabs his hammer, but keeps his shield on his back. If it came to blows he would not need it for these two.

Ye musta mistook me fer someone who likes Half breed pigs. Ye want coin from me BOY, speak with a weapon in hand. Now run along to yer whore den mother.

As Gruum is speaking there a loud WHACK on the bar from a studded club, "Ain't no fightin' in my bar ye god foresaken heap of dungpile." The sound of deep dwarven voice, "I'll be servin' orc f*ck'n stew ti'morrow" A nearby patron stops eatin from his bowl - momentarily, then shrugs and continues.

"Now. whose lookin' fer me" the gnarly scarred dwarf demands.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Andrea suddenly wishes Fiosa was here, she was much better at soothing over hurt feelings and handling bruised hearts. While Calistria was quite happy to encourage polygamy, when it came to deciding who ended up with who, there was no quarter given. Duels, backstabbing, seduction, all was fair in love and war to The Savored Sting.


M NPC, half-orc Warrior/bouncer

Orn eyes his brother then reaches for a pitcher of ale, he begins to drink form the pitcher directly. He drains the vessel in one long pull. He slams it down leans over Lucrezia and kisses her. His right eye never leaving his sibling.

Lucrezia returns his kiss, though she also keeps an eye on the younger sibling.

Do you remember what I was researching the last time I came to the library? Faelyn leans over to whisper. Wow! She smells good!

Truk's growl reaches a crescendo in response to Orn's challenge. Truk clenches his massives fists and stands with fire in his eyes. The aggression is undeniable in the air when the younger orc opens his mouth to speak.

Love is Patient, Love is Kind
It does not Envy, it does not Boast, it is not Proud.

Rather than say something harsh or throw a punch, Truk pounds the remainder of his drink, grabs Lucrezia to spin her around and kisses her fiercely. While doing so he squeezes her ass.

He watches his brother's reaction, making sure he gets an eyeful.


Fire Resist 10 Human Cleric 6,HP 40/40,Init+5F6R4W9,Per10AC18/11/17

Hopefully this will turn out with them having a threesome.

So Orsin, things go well with Ms. Nymmis?

Orsin's eyes dart back forth as the scene unfolds. This could go sour very quickly... Struggling to come up with any ideas, Orsin casts glibness under the table.

"You all might die in a few moments if you keep kissing each other and stop to give me your undivided attention."

Orn's big paw on Lucrezia's waist, as she is pulled towards his younger brother. Suddenly he looks at the bard, "Huh?"

Make another fame check Gruum.

Just what did you mean, Orsin? Truk, how about we let Orn and Lucrezia have a talk while we talk with Orsin here?

Truk breaks off his kiss but doesn't remove his own giant mitt from Lucrezia's rear at Orsin's completely believable warning.

"What's that Orsin? Is there trouble?"
