Ahiko runs to Kali's side and touches her with a healing hex
unsure if that will be enough, IF the hex had SOME effect, she follows that up with a touch of the wand.
After Asvig goes down, Vermundr tries to come down from his frenzy.
The young ulfen struggles to catch his breath and looks around through bloodshot eyes. "Is everyone okay?"
Shalelu smiles and says, "I should probably bring more arrows next time..."
"We need to search this place as quickly as we can, before that witch can summon any reinforcements."
Vermundr flashes Shalelu a smile. "You can have some of mine."
While Ahiko tends to Kali, he turns Asvig over and searches him.
You find chainmail, heavy wooden shield,
shortspear, throwing axes (2), platinum lion’s head armring
, fine felt cloak, gold neck
ring , gold ringed pin brooch
A young boy comes out of hiding and says, "Are you going to murder us or can we leave to go?"
"We're not here to kill anybody that doesn't need killing", the young ulfen explains while removing Asvig's jewelry.
"Where does Asvig keep prisoners. We're looking for an Ulf."
The boy says, "Well, normally in the barn out back but, there are no more prisoners. Ulf is supposed be joining Snorri Stone-eye."
"Who's he? Is he here?"
The boy says, "He was Asvig's Jarl. He should be having a funeral at dawn in his funeral ship."
Vermundr frowns and nods to his party. "Where's the ship?"
The thrall says, "I have no idea."
"We have to find a sword too... maybe we should search this place quickly before we leave."
The thrall says, "You should make haste, Asvig had further guests who were going to arrive. Your group looks a bit worse for wear and probably not up to the challenge of another battle."
He hears Ahiko and says, "What kind of a sword are you looking for?"
"An old sword from Minkai... a family heirloom. Have you seen it?"
The boy says, "Mina who? They also took a goofy looking curvy sword a weird looking Shamshir or a two handed saber..."
"That sounds like what we're looking for... thank you lad."
You leave the farm and make your way back to Kalsgard.
Ahiko observes the others making inroads diplomatically among the locals, having no real skill in that area herself. She merely smiles and tries to look and act innocuous while standing in the background.
Vermundr takes to the streets, asking around for news of a funeral barge belonging to Snorri Stone-eye.
You hit the taverns looking for information and run into man named Lothi.
With time to do so, on the way to the tavern, Ahiko uses her wand on Vermundr a few times, expecting there might be trouble when we find this funeral ship.
IF Kali is still with us and needs healing, here are 3 rolls on Kali.
Ahiko lets Vermundr do most of the talking since her diplomatic skills are somewhat lacking. She merely smiles demurely at his side and tries to look innocuous. She keeps Miso, her fox familiar, hidden under and behind her skirts while she stands at Vermundr's side.
When Vermundr meets Lothi, who I assume turns out to be a source of some information , she smiles and does say softly, "Well met, Lothi."
Lothi quietly strummed his harp which he had learned to conjure as a youth and reclines in his chair... Until a few moments ago the table in the corner had been his alone...
An ulfen willingly approaches Pale Lothi... This must be something "special".
The young ulfen pulls out a chair for Ahiko before taking a seat himself.
"The name's Vermundr. This is Ahiko. We hear you know a few things about a funeral ship we're after."
Funeral ships are quite a good affair for one of my reputation, whenever I went to one everyone cleared out and left all that food and ale sitting... Now as for a specific funeral ship which one are you speaking of and for which Jarl?
”One that’s holding a funeral at dawn – owned by Snorri Stone-eye.”
Lothi begins to empty the coffers of memory for information...
Know (nobility)
Know (local)
Know (religion, for funeral rights)
Pale
launched an hour after dawn from a peninsula just west of
Kalsgard called Spear-shaker’s Point that is often used for
the funeral rites of famous warriors.
Old Snorri in his younger years was a well respected sea borne raider, respected enough that his funeral ship will be launched from spear-shaker's point. It will be an hour after dawn, if your going to crash the funeral party I will accompany you... Crashing a funeral party is always a comical event, especially when the local Ulfen believe me to be the doom of their kind...
Vermundr cocks an eyebrow at the pale man. "We could always use another pair of hands. You any good with a blade?"
Lothi calmly taps the shortbow on his shoulder, I prefer strike at range... I also have some other 'talents" as well, so Ulfen are you sure you want a Jadwiga fighting besides you?
"Asvig's b!+!$ is still out there. I wouldn't mind having a jadwiga on our side to deal with theirs."
