Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Pharasma:
"I've heard of them. I do believe that there is information here to be found. Come, your friend here too. I'll show you to the archives we have here."

Team Rorin:
The girls eyes grow wide at the offer and they look at each other hopefully, but none of them seem to know anything else. "Sorry, ma'am, but we really don't know anything else about it. The memorial's that way, though, right down by the water near the edge of town. Are you going to go look at the blood? I heard there is so much blood that the water has turned red! My parents won't let me go see though, they told me to stay away from the memorial today."

Team Success:
"Thank you Father." Ingrid smiles warmly as they enter and head to the archives.

Team What is wrong with the children of Ravengro?:
Ravel thanks the girls, handing them three gold pieces. "We may check it out when our friends exit, if there is time left in the day."

team short ones:

Terrance looks at ake after a couple of hours I don't think that we are going to find anything else here, shall we go.

As helpful as this was, I still intend to advise the church, and my cousins to not stop here


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Pharasma:
"Of course, of course." Father Grimburrow sets about gathering particular books and scrolls for you that he thinks will be the most beneficial.

You get a +4 to your knowledge checks. For Harrowstone use history and local, for the Whispering Way use religion or arcana. If you do not have an appropriate knowledge skill you may use it untrained in the temple but without the +4 bonus. You both get to make rolls, once per day. If either of you are able to achieve the DC25 needed while researching Harrowstone, it will reveal to you a new topic to research. The temple can be used to research this new topic as well, though you'll need to come back the next day. Here is the link back to the info on Harrowstone and the Whispering Way.

Team Rorin:
The girls take the coins and curtsey, "Thanks ma'am!" and then run off together.


Team Ioann:

After sitting down, Ioann stares at his cup of tea. He does not even lift his head when Kendra speaks to him.

Can't, can't tell her... but what should I say? Lie? he takes a quick look at her no, no! She is a friend, I cannot do this to her... nor can I tell the truth. He sights before lifting his head to look at her. Staring at his childhood friend, Ioann lets get of his preoccupations for a moment.

"I cannot tell you, and please do not ask. But, I can say one thing: spending time here, as I used to, truly is a boon. Please, indulge me, and simply have tea with me, just like we used to."

Ioann smiles faintly, and takes a sip from his cup.


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Ioann:
Kendra watches you closely and you see many emotions flicker across her face, defiance and worry being the most prominent. Nevertheless, she drops the topic and instead says, "As you wish. I'm glad that you are finding pleasure in being here. It's been far too long since we've seen each other. I've missed you."

Team Pharasma:
Ingrid pores over the tomes and scrolls, crossrefencing everything she can find. Her mother's experience as an achivist coming in handy.

Knowledge History:Harrowstone: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 4 = 27 Ding Ding Ding!

Team Rorin:
Orin turns and smiles at Ravel. "That was kind of you to give those children the coin. And I do think we should inspect the memorial soon, once Terrance and Ake are free from the library." He puts a hand on hers that are looped around his arm. "And I can't really complain when a lovely women hangs onto me."


Male Human Alchemist 1 | hp 13/13 | AC13(15) T11 FF12(14) | Fort +3 Ref +3 Will +0 | Perception +4

Team Pharasma:
Gellius tries to pour through the library, but he's unable to figure out where anything is. "I don't get it. Stuff about Aroden is next to the Galt Gazeteer and the ecology of tieflings. Am I just using the wrong alphabet?"


Female Changeling (Green Widow) Witch (Dreamweaver)/2 HP: 9/9

Team Rorin:
"It's quite refreshing to have someone around here not be staring daggers at me. Tis a quaint but odd sort of town."


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Both researching teams can expect the research to have taken most of the day. Ravel and Orin, continue to wait outside if you like but it'll be awhile before they are done. You could go to the memorial while you wait. Otherwise, we'll assume that it's evening and the researching is done for the day.


Team Ioann:

Ioann nods to Kendra and starts reminiscing about the old days and professor Lorrimor. He brings these things up and discuss them with Kendra, remembering funny anecdotes and things they did together in the past. He seems to enjoy himself quite a lot during this time.

First, sorry for the quality of the post, but I had a bad day (nothing serious) but definitely not feeling really creative for the post. Also, how old is Kendra?


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Ioann:
It's all good, we all have bad days. Kendra is 25, she was 10 when her family moved to Ravengro after Petros retired from teaching. The concern in Kendra's eyes begins to abate as the two of you speak of the past, soon there is a sparkle in her eye and she is laughing merrily.

When the tea is gone, she says softly, "Well, I suppose I should leave you to your books again. I hope you find what you're looking for."


Male Human Alchemist 1 | hp 13/13 | AC13(15) T11 FF12(14) | Fort +3 Ref +3 Will +0 | Perception +4

Team Pharasma:
My assumption was that we'd go looking for weapons before heading back, since we're already here, but I may has misinterpreted stuff.


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Pharasma:
[ooc]I had figured you would want to plan that as a full group outing, or at least a good chunk of the group in case things went south. I also thought that you guys would want to reconvene to discuss what was found in your research, but really it's your guys' call.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

team short:

I am waiting on Ake to respond to my last missive.

Team Pharasma:
Yeah reconvening to compare notes and schedule to go looking for the weapons cache is definitely what I figured to be the best course of action.


Female Goblin hp13/13 Wizard 1

Team Short:
Yes my good dwarf, out work here is complete. We should rejoin our companions, share our findings and learn of theirs.

We take our leave of the Unfurling Scroll and hunt down...I mean find our companions.


Male (Channel 2/2 (Will DC 9) (D6)),(Acid Dart 7/7 (d6+1)),(Protection ability 7/7) Dwarf Cleric 1 (HP 9/9),(AC16/15, T 10/10, FF 16/15 +4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield)),(Saves F4, R1, W7 +4 vs Spell,SLA, +2 vs Poison),(CMB 2, CMD 12),Init 0, Perception 5 +2 vs Stonework

team short:

Aye, so we should. Hopefully without the use of fire
with that, Terrance leaves the Unfurled scroll, and casts about looking for the others.


Male Human Ranger 1

Team Roarin Rorin:
"No issue from me. What you matters little so long as you aren't, well, actually evil." They then wait for the Team Short to get done.


Ioann smiles to his childhood friend, a sincere smile. After walking the woman to the door, he sits back at his desk and continues reading Feeding Your Hunger.

Edited: Remove spoiler... it would not work... for some obscure reason.


Male Human Alchemist 1 | hp 13/13 | AC13(15) T11 FF12(14) | Fort +3 Ref +3 Will +0 | Perception +4

Team Pharasma:
Ah, I had a different idea of the scale of this operation. Yeah then, I'm ready to head back.


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

So team Pharasma is headed back, Team Rorin is waiting on Team Unfurling Scroll to go to the memorial and then back to the Lorrimor place?


Female Changeling (Green Widow) Witch (Dreamweaver)/2 HP: 9/9

Believe so.

Team The Good, The Bad, The Goblin:
Arm still locked around Orin's, Ravel greets Terrance and Ake with a smile and a wave. "I do hope you were able to find useful information from that bore. We... well we heard a rather interesting nursery rhyme from the children. It was in Varisian, but in the Common tongue it goes something like this," Ravel will softly sing the girls' rhyme, singing slowly so she can remember the words.
"Put her body on the bed.
Take a knife and lop her head.
Watch the blood come out the pipe.
Feeds the stirge, so nice and ripe.
Drops of red so sparkly bright.
Splatters spell her name just right.
With a hammer killed his wife.
Now he wants to claim your life.
Tricksy father tells a lie.
Listen close or you will die."

Ravel pauses a moment... "Not entirely sure what it means... and apparently the Harrowstone Memorial has been defaced with blood, so we thought we might investigate that as we had back to Lady Lorrimor's to convene with the others. So really that stodgy old breakwind did me a favor. We've learned quite a few things."


Male (Channel 2/2 (Will DC 9) (D6)),(Acid Dart 7/7 (d6+1)),(Protection ability 7/7) Dwarf Cleric 1 (HP 9/9),(AC16/15, T 10/10, FF 16/15 +4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield)),(Saves F4, R1, W7 +4 vs Spell,SLA, +2 vs Poison),(CMB 2, CMD 12),Init 0, Perception 5 +2 vs Stonework

Tall and short:

That rhyme is Disturbing to say the least. As for checking out the monument, I would say that we at least take a look.

With that, Terrance starts to stroll in the direction of the monument.


Female Goblin hp13/13 Wizard 1

Team The Good, the Bad and The Goblin:
That sounds like my tribes butchering song...Why are these longshanks having a problem with me, I wonder? I would fit right in with the children!


Male Human Ranger 1
Spoiler:
(HP 11, AC 16, Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +2, Init +4, +2 Perception)

Team Creepy But Catchy Music:
Orin nods at Ravel's suggestion. "We should go investigate. Markings of blood sound downright wrong, and it may give us a clue to further our work."

Glancing down at Ake, he shoots a grin at the Goblin. "Ah, you would. Cruel songs, short stature, penchant for fire. Yep, fit right in I suspect." He laughs loudly, probably the first time since learning of the Professor's death.


Female Changeling (Green Widow) Witch (Dreamweaver)/2 HP: 9/9

Team Tall, Grande, Venti...:
Chuckling, "Well, Ake, you fit right in with us," Ravel extends her hand for Ake. "Shall we, then?"


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Memorial Bound:
You make your way through the town, drawing the wary look from each stranger that you pass by. When you arrive you see that most of the blood has been cleaned up as best as can be and two young men are just starting to scrub at a large capital 'V' painted in the blood. The river's water has most certainly not turned red!


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Pharasma:
You make your way back to the Lorrimor estate without any problems. Kendra greets you warmly and offers you stew that she has made. She tells you that Ioann is still reading in his room, and the others have yet to return.

Team Ioann:
You hear the knock at the front door and then murmured voices as Kendra speaks to whomever has arrived.


Male (Channel 2/2 (Will DC 9) (D6)),(Acid Dart 7/7 (d6+1)),(Protection ability 7/7) Dwarf Cleric 1 (HP 9/9),(AC16/15, T 10/10, FF 16/15 +4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield)),(Saves F4, R1, W7 +4 vs Spell,SLA, +2 vs Poison),(CMB 2, CMD 12),Init 0, Perception 5 +2 vs Stonework

two heights:

Well, this doesn't look the best. indicating the blood I got a feeling that something bad is happening.

Looking at one of the individuals cleaning it.
Sir, has this been happening often, and if so how often?


Female Aasimar (Angelkin) Paladin of Pharasma (Undead Scourge) 2 HP: 19/19. Fort: +8 Reflex: +4 Will: +7 (+2 vs Evil effects and to stabilize when at negative HP/+2 racial bonus on saving throws against death effects, energy drain, negative energy, and spells/SLA

"That would be wonderful Kendra, how was your day?" Ingrid asks taking off her cloak.


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Memorial:
The young man looks at Terrance, his expression isn't quite as guarded as some of the older locals but he definitely still has that look about him it takes him a moment to answer, "I've never seen this before in my life."

"Oh, it was a bearable day I suppose. I stayed in mostly. It just doesn't hold much appeal to be offered either constant condolences or constant looks of pity. That is, of course, except for the few who refused to even meet my eyes out of shame for their deplorable behavior yesterday. I had a nice tea with Ioann, that was the highlight of my day. How about you, how was your day? Did you find what you went looking for?" As Kendra talks she prepares you both a bowl of stew and cuts off thick slices of bread.


Male (Channel 2/2 (Will DC 9) (D6)),(Acid Dart 7/7 (d6+1)),(Protection ability 7/7) Dwarf Cleric 1 (HP 9/9),(AC16/15, T 10/10, FF 16/15 +4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield)),(Saves F4, R1, W7 +4 vs Spell,SLA, +2 vs Poison),(CMB 2, CMD 12),Init 0, Perception 5 +2 vs Stonework

Team Cenotaph:

Sir Terrance addresses the young man that responded. Are you the only ones that clean the memorial, or are there others?
If so, have they also run into this?


Female Changeling (Green Widow) Witch (Dreamweaver)/2 HP: 9/9

Team Monumental:
Ravel bites her lower lip, then speaks up, knowing the townsfolk are hesitant. She speaks in the Common tongue for Ake's benefit. "Is the V significant?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19


Male Human Ranger 1
Spoiler:
(HP 11, AC 16, Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +2, Init +4, +2 Perception)

Team Down by the river:
Orin nods and speaks up as well. "It is a little odd. Maybe you all have some knowledge you'd be willing to part with on this unique vandalism?" Assist Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Memorial:
The young man shrugs, "No one normally cleans it but it couldn't just be left in such a mess, now could it? I'm sure the V is significant to whoever put it there, but how should I now what it means? We don't know nothing about it, we just got assigned to clean it up. If you ask me this punishment is unfair when all we did was hide Anne's chickens from her, she found them too, didn't she? Who are you anyway? I haven't seen any of you before. You come for the Lorrimor funeral? Is it true what they say, that he was a necromancer?"


Female Changeling (Green Widow) Witch (Dreamweaver)/2 HP: 9/9

Team Memorial:
Ravel bristles. "No, it is not true what they say. The Professor was no such thing. We are friends of the Lorrimors, and yes we came into town to pay our final respects to our dear friend. Thank you for the information, but I might have guessed that you would not know what the V stood for. You know what they say about fowl play." Ravel will take a look at the Memorial, seeing if there is anything to be read beneath the blood, before taking her leave.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8


Male Human Ranger 1
Spoiler:
(HP 11, AC 16, Fort +2, Ref +4, Will +2, Init +4, +2 Perception)

Team Memorial:
Orin sees Ravel is still shaken some about the Professor being called a necromancer. Despite his own desire to scold the folks, he decides to focus on trying to find any clues. Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13


Male (Channel 2/2 (Will DC 9) (D6)),(Acid Dart 7/7 (d6+1)),(Protection ability 7/7) Dwarf Cleric 1 (HP 9/9),(AC16/15, T 10/10, FF 16/15 +4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield)),(Saves F4, R1, W7 +4 vs Spell,SLA, +2 vs Poison),(CMB 2, CMD 12),Init 0, Perception 5 +2 vs Stonework

team memories:

You are right, it couldn't be left a mess, and yes, we did come to pay our respects.
Then he grimmaces. No, the professor was not a necromancer

Terrance then looks around.
perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23


Having finished reading, Ioann puts the book back in the chest before closing it. Hauling it over his shoulder, he proceeds to exit his room and walks downstairs. There, he briefly nods at the people that have returned to the house and before they can answer Kendra's question, he saks his own:

"Did you find the cache? Did it contain anything interesting?"


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Memorial:
The young men seem completely oblivious to the fact that they said something offensive, and Ravel's comments about fowl play soar over their heads. They stare at you blankly for a moment until one of them shrugs and says, "Oh, okay." The resume cleaning the monument. There is nothing more to be found on the memorial aside from splattered blood at the V. You could attempt to make a survival check to see if there perpetrator left any tracks.


Female Goblin hp13/13 Wizard 1

Team steamed and offended:
NO YOU...wonderful...hard working..young person. He was not a necromancer, or a devil worshiper or a demon worshiper either.

Audibly grinding her teeth, Ake remains near the group, although Cuddles snaps her pincers several times and waves her stinger about at her mistresses displeasure.


Male (Channel 2/2 (Will DC 9) (D6)),(Acid Dart 7/7 (d6+1)),(Protection ability 7/7) Dwarf Cleric 1 (HP 9/9),(AC16/15, T 10/10, FF 16/15 +4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield)),(Saves F4, R1, W7 +4 vs Spell,SLA, +2 vs Poison),(CMB 2, CMD 12),Init 0, Perception 5 +2 vs Stonework

team upset and bitter:

The frusteration starts to show with Terrance.
No one know a bloody thing.
survival: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
let us be off

survival check, untrained. was thinking of typing with the accent, but thought against, obviously he is starting to get angry, and it is affecting his skills :)

"Father Grimburrow was very helpful in our research. It actually yielded quiet a bit. When the others get back we can compare notes and go from there." she says smiling.

"I'm sorry you have to deal with all this. If there's anything I can do to make it easier on you please let me know Kendra."


Male Human Alchemist 1 | hp 13/13 | AC13(15) T11 FF12(14) | Fort +3 Ref +3 Will +0 | Perception +4

"Yes, the Pharasmans were most enlightening. Of course I do hope the blood gets cleaned up soon. There was a lot of it."


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

Team Memorial:
The young men have paused in their work now and are staring at the group of you looking somewhat worried, and a whole lot of confused.

"Cache, Ioann?"

"Thank you dear, Ingrid. Having you all here is helping so much more than I could ever express to you."

"Blood!? My goodness, has something happened to Father Grimburrow?" Kendra begins to move towards the door. "I must go to him at once."


Male Human Alchemist 1 | hp 13/13 | AC13(15) T11 FF12(14) | Fort +3 Ref +3 Will +0 | Perception +4

Gellius looks at Kendra quizzically. "What? Nothing's happened to Father Grimburrow. Where'd you get that from?

...

"Oh! Nonononononono, the blood was covering the monument to the Harrowstone guards! And it's was only rat blood, it's not like actual people were hurt."
