Fluer does her best to keep her gear securely upon her person...And take note of who might be wishing to make what's hers...there's.
Not quite understanding why Andrea was using such foul language, (since in Westcrown any learned person could speak, infernal- it was a good bet The greybeard, Faelyn, Fiosa and Areal all spoke it) Duncan answers back in common, despising the use of the lower tongue.
Torch bearers is a good idea, but I ain't fer putting young ones at risk, what yer suggesting is better left for Dottari or trained warriors at least.
Im not talking about fighting Shadowbeats, just escorting people home. Perhaps even lighting up poorer parts of town with such torches. If we can find a way of keeping the torches from being stolen, putting them in the stone somehow via magic or stonecraft it would let them have little islands like in the richer parts of westcrown.
Areal head cocks when the nasty tongue is spoken he responds," vklsundiuqoy-Koy Jupinkaq Hooinim zxeriewj!!"
His normally calm demeanor show a bit of rage.
Jniven simply looks at Andrea and shakes her head disapprovingly as she steps closer to Areal.
Fluer you see three people two men and one woman near you, but you are not certain with one tried to pick your pocket, as you adjust your gear.
"Heya guys, unfortunately we couldn't find Sunny's body and it looks like someone may have dragged it off, perhaps to the docks. We also found out that the only ship that departed from those docks last night belonged to the Grulios family."
Lucrezia makes her way over to the table that has the crux sitting upon it. Shall I go ahead and take a crack at getting that thing opened now?"
Lucrezia feels the holy goodness in her body as she works the crux puzzle. As the she works the lock, the first rune glows.
Skip along and find somewhere to set things down to have a check through and see if anything's missing. Other wise, keep asking questions and searching for Sunny. (^_^)
Fluer your questions regarding Sunny eventually lead you a place called the Grotto - a brothel. "I d'ink she works 'da sheets." a weathered looking man tells you, as he holds out his hand for a silver piece.
Fluer would raise an eyebrow at the comment, but thank the fellow and part with 5 Copper. Thence head off to find this 'Grotto'...
"Why am I not surprised" Fluer mutters to no on but her self as she moves on.
It is probably best that everyone not involved in disabling the crux go into another room. Talbard can you cast anything to help with the disabling of the device?
Faelyn leads whoever is willing into another room.
Fluer you look a bit confused with your directions.
Talbard responds, "If the girl doesn't get it opened, I can try to suppress the magic." He steps back to the doorway entrance.
Andrea keeps casting Guidance on Lucrezia.
Andrea keeps casting Guidance on Lucrezia.
Andrea remembers to cast Resist Energy-Communal and sets it to resist fire (10 points) and divides the duration between herself and Lucrezia.
Lucrezia you fingers burn wiht the obvious failed attempt.
Once Talbard sees the burning fingers he casts energy resistance fire on Lucrezia.
Crux update:
one Rune is discovered but Lucrezia has missed 2 of the 8 chances before it reshuffles. She currently has +1 to open the crux from having one rune glowing, and +1 guidance. I assume Andrea will continue to cast before each attempt.[/ooc]
Lucrezia curses loudly in both common and elven each time her fingers get singed. She knows that the crux needs opened though, so she will keep trying.
Duncan shuffles into the other room and waits by the door with his Bastard Sword in hand should something nasty get teleported in.
Patience Girl, ye'll get it.
Lucrezia your next six attempts fail, each time a quick fiery burst stings your delicate fingers. The crux reshuffles its code and the process renews itself.
Meanwhile Talbard suggests "You all may want to refill those tankards and goblets, she's gonna be a while."
Lucrezia beginning with your roll of a 32, which is a 33 given Andrea's guidance, that succeeds. The second attempt fails, singing your fingers. the third attempt succeeds with the guidance and bonus one from correct rune. Your fourth and fifth attempt fails both singing your fingers. the sixth attempt succeeds. Your seventh attempt succeed with your bonuses.
You can see there are 4 of the 8 runes are lit. You have 3 of the 8 miss attempts before it reshuffles.
If this takes a while I can pray for a Prayer in the morning and Moment of Greatness.
Fluer continues to politely ask for directions etc.
The crux makes a clicking sound as the last rune glows red, then changes to silver color. All the runes appear to be in order. When looking at the crux Lucrezia you can see that it will take about 18 seconds or so to unfold the box as the multidimensional box unfolds.
Lucrezia gasps excitedly. "Oh my god, I think I got it."
Finally! Let us see what this thing holds. Everyone back up a bit in case someone decided to throw something nasty inside for the giggles.
Andrea casts Blessing of the Watch.Magic Circle Against Evil,Owl's Wisdom and prepares Summon Monster 2
Duncan casts Divine Favor on himself and spits on his hands, ready to fight, If something bad comes out John, stay beside me, i got a new trick that'll help us fight together.
Why do people spit in their hands? Wouldn't it just make your grip slippery? /joke
As Lucrezia unfolds the box it becomes larger and larger, very similar to a bag of holding, and there are several interesting items.
The first item pulled from the first fold in the box is a Leather Portfolio: This leather-bound portfolio bears a single mark on its cover—an embossed and very stylized letter “D.” AS the items is placed on the table.
Knowledge Local:
The second item is Silver Box.
The third item are three scrolls in a waterproof case.
The forth item are a pair Wands: They are a matched pair of slender oak wands.
The last item is a Erinyes Head: The strangest object in the crux is the
severed head of the erinyes a severed head that immediately begins shrieking and screaming as soon as the crux is opened.You piss-ant piece of dire rate shyte...may your eyes pop out and rot in boil sewage like your rest of the filthy hoard that put me in that box."
SON OF A !!!! Andrea yanks out her morning star.
As Faelyn looks at the "D" the shrieking begins as Lucrezia put the severed head on the table. Faelyn realizes that the "D" Stands for something.
"Hey cutie don't f*%%ing ignore me!" the head shrieks. "I'm talking to you."
That is the symbol for Delvehaven. It is one of the Pathfinder lodges.
Just what the hell is this head thing? How can a devil survive without a body if this is a devil?
Even after the mistreatment, it is possible to tell that erinye's was once quite beautiful, with crimson red hair that somehow still defies the abuse it has received. Her sinister eyes, though, reveal her devilish heritage, as does her penchant for litanies of curses and ramblings in Infernal.
The language turns foul in infernal, "niut knirkdyal, haouorhs kksnoy dwar..vleianbakyhd andadh hyealkzzxkc."
"handsome...yeh, you...no-brains but cute as hell..." her eyes gazing at Orsin, "let me show you the talents of my tongue..."She stretches her mouth wide and wiggles her tongue in a lewd way towards Orsin.
"Don't you worry sweatie I've been locked away but I switch hit for you." her eyes focusing on Lucrezia.
"Shut your filthy f!*~ing mouth you gods be damned foul smelling piece of h**$#**%&. You look more like a severed trolls arse than a devil's head. If you can't keep a civil tongue in your severed head we can cut it out, shove a diseased rat in your mouth and then sew it shut."
Quite the tongue you have on you, best be careful it doesn't get cut off
Andrea casts Detect Magic and Guidance on the wands to try to see what they are.
#1
#2
Unfortunatly, Andrea gets too distracted by all the yelling to concentrate.
Faelyn laughs out loud. I kind of like this little head thing. Can I have her?
Lucrezia snickers and gives Faelyn a wink. "Why Faelyn? Thinking about your own little head?"
Faelyn laughs out loud. I kind of like this little head thing. Can I have her?
Maybe put in on a leash and take it out for walks.
