Kaos Axe Hands

Kaos asks who ever has Rodrik's Hopeknife if he can see it. Then looks to see if it has anything engraved on it.
| Haskyll Stonereaver |
Ulfard also has the hopeknife.
| GM Mazra |
Sara will look at the receipt and then the hopeknife, "Where did you find this?" Sara will look very surprised. The Half-Orc continues, "I have heard that Rodrik is dead. He commissioned this knife a week ago. I did the initial work on it, but my apprentice Urnsul was tasked with finishing it. She did not show up for work this morning."
| Anga Runedaughter |
ah, cheer up laddie. Think of the appetite you are makin'. It'll make the food taste better
| GM Mazra |
Actually it was midmorning before Kurst approached the party. By now it is mid-afternoon. Your appetite is becoming voracious.
When you arrive at the boarding house you will notice that most of the patrons are Half-Orc. An elderly Half-Orc woman is running the place. When asked about Urnsul, she will respond, "We have not had anyone by that name staying here."
@Anga - Curious? What time zone are you in?
| Ulfgard Strongfist |
Stopping at a butchers shop to buy a sausage the dwarf happily munches his meal, just grunting. "Big strong lad, worked at the smithy? Just wanted to ask something about the work he made. He ain´t in no trouble."
| Haskyll Stonereaver |
I had wrapped it up, and passed it to Ulfgard after receiving it
Haskyll looks around the boarding house as Ulfgard asks the woman about Urnsul.

| Anga Runedaughter |
east coast Australia. I'm in north Queensland, city of Townsville. Where are you from?
| Haskyll Stonereaver |
Hey don't forget the one in north central Alberta Canada. :) So yes, the sun will not set on the party. :)

sense motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
ah see. Haskyll, have we a description of this urnsul? Mayhaps he was using a false name.
we are very international indeed
| Ulfgard Strongfist |
Germany, about as central as can be in Europe.
"Well lad, as I said, the half-orc works in a smithy. And I think, he ain´t in trouble, we just want him to ask about a work he did. That´s all! And if you do not have a smiths apprentice here, well maybe you know where he might life."
Ulfgard stands there about as non threatening as possible, still finishing his sausage between sentences.
| Haskyll Stonereaver |
Ah, yes, a false name, that might be the case.
Good lady, do you know of any of your renters who might be
Insert description of Urnsul here.
If you do, we just wish to ask him a question or two
| GM Mazra |
We will assume Sara Morninghawks has provided the party a description of Urnsul. It is a female Half-Orc with short cropped hair, many scars on her face and a jagged V-shaped tattoo on the center of her forehead. In other words she has very unique features.
The proprietor of the boardinghouse will say. "There has not been anyone with this description staying here."

Do you know anything about this graffiti we have see around town?
diplomacy : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
| GM Mazra |
The old female Half-Orc proprietor of the boarding house, she simply goes by the name Ragsda, will know nothing about the marks or anything at all about this Urnsul where she lived or otherwise.
It is a dead end clue. You have other clues to follow. You may ask Sara Morninghawk what more she may know about this Urnsul. Early on Kurst gave you some leads to follow besides Cham and the Ramblehouse.
| Haskyll Stonereaver |
Agreed, we can go back to her and find out more
| GM Mazra |
As evening approaches and you travel from the upper town back to the lower town, strangely you notice a small pack of wolves in the street. They appear to be rabid.
Kaos initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Anga initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Ulfgard initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Haskyll initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
Ragnir initiative: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5
Wolves initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
To move game play forward I took some liberties with the party's marching order. Let me know if you would prefer a change with future encounters.
Round One
Initiative order is the Wolves, Haskyll, Anga, Ulfgard, Kaos then Ragnir. New map is up.
| Anga Runedaughter |
Eek! Do wolves normally roam the streets of this town?
On her action
Anga casts mage armor, moving five feet if needed to cast safety.
| Haskyll Stonereaver |
I hope wolves don't normally frequent towns. :)
Round 1
Haskyll seeing the wolves close rapidly, steps clear of them Torag, grant us strength to see us through this trial

Drawing his axe Ulfgard slashes at the nearest wolf.

With a brutal savage chop the wolf is left in two pieces. Move back 5 foot
| Haskyll Stonereaver |
If a wolf has over 31 hp I will be officially scared. Nice hit
| Ragnir Brightaxe |
Ragnir turns on the wolf near him and swings he axe at it.
