Finding The Fall: Moral Decay in Taldor (Inactive)

Game Master Molech

A few goodly adventurers in the Duchy of Mulcrow in Taldor, though they begin their tale fighting for justice, benevolence, righteousness and tolerance, are doomed to become tainted and jaded through their ambitious adventures, only to tragically find that they have Fallen from grace into depravity, nefariousness, and villainy.

Aerodus laughs softly and shrugs. "I am a talented Warrior, I am beautiful and I am a skilled diplomat. I couldn't be a good musician too, that would be unfair to you mere mortals. I'd like to see you look this good at 86!" He smiled, leaning forward and running a hand down his jaw, to emphasise the lack of scar, wrinkle or blemish.

Raggo chuckles "I think I'm giving ya a run for ya money Aerodus!" He runs his hand down his own face, emphasizing the numerous scars and wrinkles in his tough battle worn skin.

Terra Takes a seat after greeting Cayosin, crossing her leg at the knee, and gestures for another drink before repeating what little information she gleaned during her efforts. See the info I was given before, too wore out from Origins to be up to looking back at it. "So, what have I missed? Does anyone else have more information on the problem?"

Cayosin looks at Aerodus with a smile, "Ok, I agree with a skilled warrior and diplomat. Beauty on the other hand belongs with the fine ladies at this table." Cayosin gestures with wide arms to include the all of women at the table.

Diplomacy (Cosette the Baker): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 Once Wulfrun and I arrive, I'll flirt a bit to try and get her to open up to me.


Cosette
Griffondale Baker
.
.
.

Cosette is in her late 20s to mid 30s, is somewhat plump but not at all grossly overweight. She's plain-looking, but has that certain glow one may expect from cheerful motherhood, despite not being married. (A good CHA despite not being readily attractive)

To Gregary
Ohh la la. Lord Gregary you say?...

That Luc is a bit of a trouble maker; he is often late and sometimes takes bread that is not meant for him. He has aspirations of one day being as famous as Beauregard The Blue or The Scarlet Knight, a great adventurer like yourself or even this strong Lady with you.

He often brags about how he will begin his fame by slaying the evil Ogre, Jojo, and then clean up the Verduran, as if the Druids of the Wood need his help.

I fear he will never be an accomplished baker but I hope you find him safe, should you go looking for him. I think Jojo must have him. Though, truth be told, Luc has been spying on Jojo for over a year now and has only disappeared since Cheliax has sent their devils to the Verduran.

I hope we are safe from the devils; I am ever so frightened.

Assuming I'm caught up by everyone.

Having heard what all was found, and about Cayosin's failure to get any information from Laurent, Terra says, "Why don't I go speak to this Laurent and see if I can get anything more from him. I'll make it as fast as I can." Getting up she saunters out and down to Laurent's house. She largely ignores the dogs and, before knocking takes a moment to make sure she looks good, then knocks on the door. When Laurent opens it he sees perhaps the most attractive thing he's ever had the chance to lay eyes on. She gives him a smile and says, "Hi, I'm Terra, and I've come for some information. I hear that you have seen the blue skinned devils yourself. My friends and I intend to deal with the situation and need to know where to find them. Would you be willing to do so Mister Bellaiche? I'd be very grateful." She lets her tone imply just how grateful she might be but makes no definite promises.

Diplomacy:
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Should I consider this a gather info check? If so I add +1 to my skill check. Also, should I looks at the previous batch of info that we Cayosin could have gotten for his check?

Laurent Bellaiche

Master Truffler

I saw the blue devils myself 40 miles north of here, practically skirting the Verduran, searching for Truffles with my dogs. There were four that I saw, though at first I only noticed one. They all had bald heads and carried these wicked little, hooked short swords.

Spoiler:
I saw them about 35 miles north and 2 miles east of where Jojo lairs -- right on the edge of the Verduran; they must have a nest or something there.

Let me describe where precisely I saw them, the geographic landmarks and features so you can track them more easily.

Well, I still think that there are some truffles to be found there -- if you can defend me if needed, I will go there personally and show you.

Terra Minora gets the 19 with her Gather Info and the Truffle Master gives her precise directions. Once you are in the area a DC 10 Survival check is all that will be need to find where Laurent Bellaiche saw the creatures.

Trailing a finger up the man's chin Terra says, "Thanks, I might just have to come back and let you know what we found out. If I see any truffles I'l make sure to bring you some." With that she turns to walk away, casting a lingering glance over her shoulder for just a moment.

Once she reaches her compatriots again, Terra gives Cayosin a slight smirk before she tells them, "I got directions. The location he saw the creatures was around thirty-five miles north and two east. He described several landmarks that will point the way to the area where he believes the lair may be."

Cayosin sighs, "Well since my best diplomacy skills involve physical leverage, I will remain here catching with with Mr. Beauty. Unless of course, he is leaving again? Besides, I think all of the contacts I have made dislike me in some fashion or another. However, I am ready to hit the road to Verduran at a moments notice! Regardless If we leave or don't leave tonight, I am taking Blarprymja out to sleep in nature and then meet you all here tomorrow."


The next morning, bright and early, you all set off from Griffondale to find the missing persons and discover the mystery of "the little blue devils probably from Cheliax."

As you leave you choose, finally, whether to go straight to the Verduran (and Jojo's is on the way) or if you want to veer off toward Nellus Alakart's keep. Alakart may know something now or he may just be another resource after you've found the creatures. You may even choose to stop by Rudwilla's, which is less out of the way than is Alakart's, and because there is a greater probability that she knows something different about the creatures (her source being Richard, the fur trapper now gone to Cassomir.

In any event, the wilds outside of the village, though they be made safe, sometimes contain a predator or bandit:

His head dropped back and his wings stretched to their full extension, the tips bristling, Aerodus rode at the head of the group, a smile painted on his face. The

"It is bloody beautiful weather out. The Dawn has blessed us and today, we will have answer!" He glanced back over his shoulder, smiling at his friends.

"Cayosin, Aliesah, how about a song? Wulfrun and Raggo can keep the beat on their breastplates. Perhaps Lord Crowley and Terra can join in also? I'll refrain, lest I spoil the mood!" He turned forward again and tightened his grip on his lance, staring around him for a moment.

Wulfrun raises a brow at Aerodus before shaking her head in a slow refusal. "The information from the baker leads me to think that Jojo may know the location of at least one of the missing. Jojo being an isolated ogre doesn't mean anything good will happen when six armed individuals show up though. However, we had agreed on visiting Alakart, and I think we will be visiting him one way or another eventually so ... All I'm saying is I do not know anything for certain, and visiting both places serves a purpose."

"Which way should we go Aerodus?"

Laughing wickedly at Aerodus' suggestion, Terra replies, "I've never been one for singing Aerodus, I much prefer dancing, the kind that two, or maybe three, do in the privacy of the bedchamber." She looks to see if anyone has begun to flush yet but otherwise drops the subject.

"Oh wulf, what kind of an attitude is that!" Raggo starts up a solid beat on his breastplate and lets forth a little ditty in a booming voice.

“OHHHHHHHHHH, LET YOUR SWORD REND FLESH!

At Terras suggestion Aerodus laughs softly and shakes his head with a rueful grin. "Ah of course, my apologies."

As the song dies down and eventually stops, Aerodus coughs in to the silence. "Raggo... Sing that if we ever must needs face a pitched battle. It was inspiring." He laughs before looking back over his shoulder.

"Personally Wulfrun I favour the Mage but I see the benefit of the Ogre too. Mage first then Ogre?"

"Aye, the Mage would be good to visit before the Ogre. Is this mage hostile or does he have more information or both?

"Probably friendly enough that he hasn't been burned as a warlock or witch by the locals, but unfriendly enough to live in semi isolation. Of course that may be more of a bearing of his intelligence more than friendliness." Wulfrun says pulling up next to Cayosin. "Apologies for almost running you over yesterday."

I believe it is the dwarf's singing that's keeping the random encounters away!

Gregary graciously allows Aerodus to take the lead of the group, keeping silent at his directions but agreeing when the consensus comes about that they ought to head in the direction of the mage first.

When Terra makes her salacious remark, he doesn't blush, but he does meet her gaze and wink, replying "It's refreshing to meet a woman so forward. Is this what all Calistrians are like, or are you the exception?"


After an eight hour day of riding through the Spring morning into afternoon, you all see a rise in the topography, a significant hillock, crowned with a decent sized tower -- brick and masonry -- that looks more akin to a squat military fist punching up from the hill than any arcane repository of eldritch might.

At its base are a small stable, a chicken coup, a vegetable garden and a quaint gazebo overlooking a rose garden, blooming in the sun. Only a few small copses of trees are in sight, providing nothing in the way of cover from the tower.

The carriage path on which you stand lazily approaches the tower before it continues meandering east toward Castle Grenwald.

As you ponder the day's conversations with each other you also wonder if the keep's builder, the Duke's cousin Rustin Ewerwall, was a military man, having built such a pragmatic keep without regard for aesthetics.

It is roughly 3:00pm.

Frowning distrustfully at the small stable and the Gazebo, Aerodus gives both a wide berth as he leads the way slowly up towards the building, keeping his pace to the others.

"I think We best approach the Keep itself. I don't like the look of the Gazebo. I'm afraid that if we go over there..." He frowned as he caught sight of the Rose Garden. "Aye... If I go over there I might stop for a drink and some food. I would be murder to move," He laughed softly, whistling quietly to urge the horse on.

"That it is, but...ugly." says Gregary, somewhat disgustingly. "A waste of effort, if you ask me. This place is looked upon far more frequently than it's beseiged."

He rides on his horse up towards the front gate, then, encouraging the others to follow along behind him. "Come on then, we've a meeting to have."

He calls out towards the castle, "Excuse me! I am looking for a Mister Alakart, I heard that he takes residence here and would like very much to speak to him!"

Besides, this may be the best path. We can always visit the witch later, if we need to.

Cayosin looks at Terra with a smile obviously with his man brain gears turning...

The looks at the Keep and laughs, "For a wizard, I think it is a sign of compensation. For a lord, perhaps it is more fitting? I agree we should knock on the door first before getting near the gardens or stables and possibly appear to be thieves instead of a party of adventurers. In addition, I think one person with the best person skills should go up to the front door. All of us up there could be intimidating and I surely don't possess the best of social skills unless it involves violence."

Aerodus nodded at Terra before smiling. "Aye I agree not all of us should go, but I would feel better if at least two of us went. So either you and I, Terra, or perhaps you and Lord Crowley?"


I think that after an evening together plus today's eight hour journey, not to mention your backgrounds, you've gotten to know who among you is pretty diplomatic and who is most perceptive, etc. You should be able to send your top diplomacy PCs up there if you want. Or you can all start to go.

Don't forget your two Perception checks; most should get the DC 9 but only one of you, coincidentally, can get the second with a nat 20. And if you have Geography....

I already did this, though.

Cayosin leans over to Aerodus and in a low voice with a smile, ::"Aerodus, you mean only Terra to behave herself? You imagine what would happen if she made one of her Calistria advances towards the wizard? The wizard would have a teenage accident at the door.":: Cayosin laughs in his low tone.


We have to back up a bit; sorry, chalk it up to another rookie mistake on my end (I wanted to give plenty of time for everyone to say where they are in answer to my question; we had talked about slowing down just a smidgen, and...).
.
.
.
You all arrive at the base of the hill near the stable, gazebo and such, where the path continues east, and quickly decide that Gregary and Terra Minora will climb the hill -- Wulfrun is heading up with them.

As the three begin the trek up, everyone except Aerodus (obviously concerned with the gazebo) hears the voice of a magic mouth, with perhaps just a hint of a ghost sound accompanying it:
Hear the voice of Nellus Alakart and respond before climbing the hill. Please say, travelers, "Friend" or "Foe" and briefly explain your intentions. Please hand any scripts, letters of introduction or scrolls to my assistant. I am watching.
.... Only six seconds later an Unseen Servant "appears" near the three who had just begun to climb the hill, hand outstretched in case any papers are forthcoming. Unusually, the illusionary being is "dressed" in the fashionable attire appropriate to Taldoran servants of nobility -- this Alakart must be interested in putting on the typical Taldoran airs, unlike so many wizards.
This was the DC 9 Perception. Really, I just wanted to create an atmosphere of uncertainty, asking for it.

No one notices that there is something, ...odd, about the tower and the grass immediately at its base. DC 31

Geography

Spoiler:
And likewise, no one has heard that Alakart enjoys his illusions -- despite not even being a "real" wizard or sorcerer.
