Call of the Forgotten Realms

Game Master Charles Evans 25

Seebo is more than willing to follow, as Nim leads the way to his room.

Just checking what Ashan has done, if anything, with regard to payment for his meal?

Ashan will be gathering his belongings and returning to this establishment after the meeting in Nim's room.
Payment can be deducted for the meal as it will be part of the room costs.

Sorry about the delay; haven't been feeling too well since Wednesday morning here, and am only up to posting again now.
I thought I had conveyed that the meal would need to be paid for, and that the cost could later be taken off a room for the night, but that might not be what Ashan understood - I will go back and check what was said here at some point.
Which room exactly is everyone going back to?
Seebo & Nim had a room and Nim has been to another one, although if he ever heard the number, I don't know that he would be able to remember what it was.
Edit:
Hmm. I find Mrs. Prestwick said '...If Mr. Ackanya here decides he still wants to stay, I'll see that the price of his meal if he eats here tonight is deducted from the cost of staying overnight...'

Ashan will in this case ask for the guys to wait until he has paid for his meal before proceeding to do the previously mentioned actions.
While paying for his room he will enquire if there is spare room at the inn, or would he need to share a room with his friends.

nim has indicated already that he wants to take seebo to the girl, thats the room he wants to go to

DC 13 Diplomacy check, Ashan, with regard to room inquiries?

Diplomacy roll : 1d20+6=23

"Three silver pieces sir, for dinner and the night.", the flustered maid responds to Ashan's inquiry, as he piles on the charm.
I posted the regular price was 8 back on Page 2 of the discussion thread.
Although Nim probably can't remember how much it was, and Seebo certainly doesn't, there might be a surprised look from someone at an adjacent table if they overheard that...

Seebo turns his head to hide his grin, as Ashan pours on the charm to get the cheaper price.
"Come on Nim, let's go to the room you are now in and talk"

nim takes his brother and Ashan to the room with the girl in, assuming she is still there!! he will ask seebo to take a look at her

Just going straight in, or any kind of knock or other announcement first?

i go straight in

Seebo will follow Nim's lead

"Mrs. Prestwck. Is that... ohhh!"
The maid sitting inside the room, in a chair positioned as close to the door as is conveniently possible, gives a start, as Nim comes in.
She seems very nervous and jumpy.

hello,im back now, thankyou for staying here, you can go now, here is somefink for your trouble (he gives her 1gp) (nim then notices that the maid is jumpy) what wrong wid you, has somefink happend?

Ashan is watching the hall outside to see if anyone is following or paying more attention than they should be.

"She's... she's... she's woken up, Mr. Murnig.", the maid glances fearfully into the room. "She's woken up and it's bad."

nim dashes over to the girl (can he see her?)

Yes, going into the room, Nim can see the girl. She's sitting up in the bed, huddled up, looking scared and confused.

nim stops and does not approach the girl,
brudder perhaps you talk to der girl first,
i am very big, she may be scared of me

Hmm, not sure if that's what's causing delays, but there seem to be a lot of temporarily disappearing posts around recently...
For if Seebo and/or Ashan move into the room, they can see a girl of eastern appearance (she looks to be of Mulan descent) huddled up in the bed in the room.

Seebo will move quietly towards the girl, speaking in a calming voice, "It's alright lassie we'll not harm you. We're here to help."

Ashan if he dosn't see anyone watching them will move to just inside the room and quietly close the door.

She backs up from Seebo as much as the bedboard allows, and says something in a language Seebo doesn't understand.
She's speaking Thayan...

Stopping his advances, seebo asks the all those in the room,"Can anyone understand what she is saying?"

I do not understand a word she is saying.

The maid makes a small, frightened noise.
"Mrs. Prestwick gave me a potion... The girl says she's the daughter of a powerful wizard in Thay... That's the place where the dreaded red wizards come from. "

Turning to the maid,"Please tell her we won't hurt her and we'll do our best to keep her safe."
Turning to the other two, "We need to get the autorities, but quietly."
"Nim, can you mind the door? Don't let in anyone you don't know, unless they are with either Ashan or myself."
"Ashan, It might be wise to go to Mr. Leafgreen, ask who in town he would trust, don't tell him who or whatwe have here, just be a bit vague. Then bring him and whoever he recommends here. This could get very ugly, very quickly."
Turning back to the maid, "After you have her calmed down a bit, please go and get Mrs. Prestwick"

The sage did say something about going out to look for plants this evening, although there was mention of a bar on his itinery too, if I recall correctly. (Apologies; bedtime here, and no time to go looking it up.)

i do what you say brudder!
if der wizard powerful he find der girl anyway by using der magic he has. why he not find her already,me hope he not dead!

charles!! damn my low int character!! did the place where the girl was previoulsy have wardings?? obvouisly you wont answer this!!

I have checked and the sage Leafgreen has indicated to at least Ashan that:

Looking at Nim, "I hope her father is alright too, I really don't want to tangle with a red mage and I'd much rather just give back the girl."
"Nim can you remember where you found her and what else was around?"
"Think hard, I know you're good at remembering things, what sort of pictures or symbols were near her?"

Seebo's memory probably isn't what it should be, about Mr Leafgreen, given his trauma

charles what does nim remember

Brudder, I fink that bronx could take us to where we found her, where is he?

Nim was there a short time ago at dinner when the Sable Bow man from the garrison brought that message from Bronx. Nim ought to remember that the man brought a message about Bronx, even if he can't recall what the man said!
As to the events of the morning, Nim probably remembers that it was snowing, so there was a cabin in the woods, and there were leaves on the floor in the cabin and a trapdoor and a cellar underneath with what looked to Nim like a magic circle, and the girl was down there. DC 15 Int to recall any more than that, I'd say.

"Me Leafgreen was heading out to collect some plants around the change of year; Although he was going to stop in at The Silver Tree for a time."
"Bronx has headed out with some men from the Sable Bow looking for that rogue who tossed your room."
Ashan will pause so everyone can digest that information.
"I could check if the sage is there, but I would not hold my breath."
Following Seebo's lead, "Nim, the girl appears healthy, how did you bring her here? And what was wrong with her that you did bring her back here?"
Ashan will try leading Nim through his memories, as he has some small skills in peicing together odd information.
Gather information skill attempt to see if that can help Nim's memory of events.

nim passes on the info he remembers to seebo

...Gather information skill attempt to see if that can help Nim's memory of events.

The Gather Information assists Nim in getting the events he described in approximately the right order. He also remembers that there was a woman in the cabin, but she got left behind when they were later attacked by nasty little fey on the way back to town.

"Nim think hard, can you draw me that symbol?"

1d20-2 int check i got a 15!

can nim draw it?

Nim/Raven:
I emailed you last night regarding where in the thread the description of the cellar is. Nim can probably remember general details about the cellar, and also that there was a matching circle upstairs. Maybe even that the woman in the cabin mentioned seeing something like this before somewhere else.

nim passes on this info to Seebo

brudder on der floor dere were many black candles around the circle
maybe der lady who was was us can help, i worried about her i hope she ok

Seebo tries to think about, some of the rights he's read about.(int 1d20=10)
Musing to aloud to himself, "I wonder if it's arcane rather than religious. If fey were involved then it's more likely that Ashan or Mr leafgreen will recognise the markings."

From a brief and not very descriptive account by Nim, a 10 isn't going to go very far, beyond, umm, yes it might have had some significance (and the relatively common knowledge that circles get occasionally used for calling/binding things)....
Don't know if any of the characters would make the assumption/guess or not, but I think the man from the garrison who delivered the message mentioned something about a cabin in the woods under investigation, too.

"We need more information." Ashan states flatly.
"I will have a quick look around town for Mr Leafgreen, then collect my gear and return it here. I think we should keep most of this to ourselves until more is known."
Ashan looks to Seebo briefly.
"You still need some rest, and as long as we can calm the girl, she should be safe here. Not much can be accomplished tonight anyway."
"If this sounds alright with you, I'll be off."
"We can get more information from the Sable Bow company in the morning."
If Seebo thinks this makes sense he will proceed out to check around for the sage.

"Alright you see if you can get Mr. Leafgreen, I'll try to calm the girl, Nim I'm afraid you'll have to watch the door."

i watch der door brudder no problem!
