"Feel free he has shown that he is a coward and not worth saving, don't ask me what got into my head, strange days are ahead of us and I am sure this is not that last. I did not mean to kill the poor soul, I just have problems with authority. Perhaps we can work together and talk civily? Eh?" Saronis tries to be a bit diplomatic... Diplomacy Check.
Spot Check. Darn negative level.
Spot
Since you cannot see what is in front of you. Notice the group by the end of the dock. I have notice the influence of Xorit here
The guards get finish freeing the Dockmaster. There is a pause in the action.
The guard with bow manages to shoot the Shifter, who is now bleeding in the water. The guard stops to reload and moves away from the group. The Dockmaster looks over Saronis and says The Ogre said you that you would be tough and that there was a theft from Sharn. The Shifter is under arrest, as soon we fish him out of the Harbor. You are free to go and this “misunderstanding” is over. As he goes to leave, Tharivello notices a group of standing off in the distance whispering, they appear to be human but something seems off.
Tharivello replaces his wand in his satchel after casting. He watches the group in the distance warily, but says nothing on the matter. His wounds patch themselves over the course of about a minute, leaving him with merely bloodstained armor and robes.
Saronis nods, and looks at Cil, "Can you unsummon the webs? You know cancel the spell?"
Cil looks at Saronis and shrug, as if to say "I don't know"
She grasps her dagger and frowns at the webs, willing them to dissipate.
"Is the Ogre someone we should be aware of?"
"She should be able to, if that's the spell I believe it to be, though I'm rather surprised to have seen her cast that. No offense, Miss, but you don't seem the type to train much in magic."
"One of her new tricks I believe, very good use of it Cil." Saronis congratulates her on the ability.
"So, Cil do you remember who we were suppose to meet or the place we were suppose to find them now that we are here. It would have been much easier if they had just met us at the dock, for sure less messy." He questions.
The group as a whole remembers that they are looking for Cavallah the former leader of the gang. She maid her way to Stormreach to reach the ruins.
Spot check.
Thar after spotting the humans from earlier notices that talking to someone behind them. Saronis notices a dwarf that is wearing house Kundark colors.
Saronis whispers to Cil, "Oh great a house member, I sure hope he doesn't see the marks."
Cil smirks "We're in Xen'drik, what could he do to us here?" she replies.
"True, though he could make it unpleasant, though I sure hope he doesn't." Saronis whispers again.
So we are standing on the pier. The guards and dockmaster have headed back to town and have stopped to talk with a Dwarf of one of the houses.
Saronis nods to the group and heads towards town, blade still brandished.
Harash
I need you and friends to go to Xen’drik, to retrive an item for us. Cavallah has taken a spell book that the Sisters had just received from that area of the world. Cavallah and her associates have left already and I am assuming that Uldor is with her. I don’t know why Cavallah would leave our happy family. She has been serving the Sisters longer than I have and the Sisters want an explanation of why Cavallah would leave. Outside of returning the spellbook and getting the why Cavallah does not need to be alive. We have reason to suspect that this disaster here and Cavallah leaving are connected. I believe Cavallah is heading for excavation in Xendrick called Korromar. The site is believed to be a holy site from the Giant Empire from the days of old. House Kundarak is charge of the site and we have some good relationships with them. Of course we are using human agents to represent us. I need you to collect up your fellows and leave as soon you can.
As the group stands and looks around at the human group. A dwarf with red a beard wearing house Kundark colors approaches the group. He looks at Cil and Saronis and says By the looks of you, I would say I am suppose to meet you. Master Harash has sent word that some agents of his would be coming in. I am here to escort you to Korromar which lies in the north. As he address the group, he then notices Thar and then stops speaking.
He then bows very deeply to Thar.
My lord I am sorry for recognizing you. Master Harash would be most displeased with me. He told I was to afford you and your servants the best service. My Taran’de Kundark He makes a motion to the humans with him and to have them take up security around the group.
My lord when you ready I will take you and your servants to our best accommodations. That is good Sir if you are ready?
"Thar what have you not been telling us?" Saronis asks Thar inquisitively as he cocks his head to the side.
yes this was a insureance piece that Harash put in place when he gave the item you needed. He did not tell you directly.
"It's nothing of terrible importance, though I'm not sure why he's referred to you as my servants. As far as I know, this was just a bit of insurance placed by Harash."
"So you believe this one?" Pointing at the dwarf. "Lets get this on then."
The Dwarf seems to be astonished about what Thar says, but moves on. The group is taken to nice nearby. Master Thar, we will be leaving at dawn. Please have your servants ready by then.
The Dwarf leaves and the party has a chance to rest.
Tharivello nods. Very well. Thank you for your escort, and we'll all be ready by the appointed time.
"Okay Thar time to level with us, who are you?" Saronis questions Thar. He does not unpack, keeping weapons at hand. Just in case, he does not trust this situation.
At first Cil bristled a bit a being characterized as a servant, but then decided to enjoy herself a bit, throwing herself into the role. The entire way to the inn, addressing Thar as his lordship and Sir and generally acting extremely servant-ish.
Once at the inn and in their rooms, she rounds on Thar and seconds Saronis' question "Yeah, Thar... what's up with the Lordship stuff?"
Yes you are but you dont remember for now.
"I don't know. I'm certainly no lord, any more than you lot are my servants. I'm an archivist for the Aerenal, and that's it."
After Thar makes his statement. He remembers being in Library and being surrounded by lots of books. As he recalls this the there a painful memory and that's it.
The day dawns in Stormreach, there is sense of magic in the air. The group departs with the band of hirelings from house Kundark. The first day goes by without much issue. As the day winds down the party stops to make camp. The party consist of Thar,Cil,Saronis, Erdath, the dwarf guide, and three more hirelings.
The guard pull the first shifts in evening who else will take the rest of the night?
After his 4 hours of meditation Saronis would gear up once more, and relieve the guards.
Cil will take a watch after Saronis.
The first night goes by with out issue. As the second day begins, the Taren approaches the Thar and tells him. My lord I am familiar with this area, please be alert for any changes in the weather here. Also there are rumors of a bandits in the area so please be on guard.
As the day goes on there is no issues, camp is made and the first watch is set up.
Yet again Saronis meditates lightly, then will take the 3rd shift of guard duty.
Saronis hears some noise in the distance. It is too far to make out clearly, but is loud like a creature moving about. What do you do?
I first will tell Thar, who does not sleep. Make sure he is ready to wake up the group if need be. "I would suggest getting Cil up at least."
I prepare myself for a fight, activating the Iron ward diamond on my armor: DR 3/-. Crystal of Life Drinking attaches to weapon, each time a living creature is damage by a weapon with this crystal attached to it the wielder heals 3 hit points per hit. Also his Watch Lamp active, which is a globe of light that hovers above his head, giving light like a torch.
He will also summon up one of his powers, , shadow, hmmmm, interesting. He makes a minor image of himself and have it walk out 10 feet before him. He holds the other ability for later.
At that point Saronis will walk towards the sound, just 10 feet away from the camp site. Elven court blade of doom ready.
Spot check.
Listen check.
The noise that drew your attenton is 70ft away in the somewhere in the jungle. The thick forest blocks you from seeing clearly that far. You also notice a thick fog starting to roll in.
Having my minor image continue into the forest. I attempt to stay behind it, and move 30 feet into the forest.
Tharivello gets up, waking Cil. Saronis says there's something in the forest, he says, keeping an eye out.
Coming awake in a flash, Cil nods to Thar ,then gathers her weapons and leans in to whisper in Thar's ear "Where?"
Following Thar's pointed finger, she flashes a smile then follows Saronis, but taking a path about 10' to the left of the direction shown by Thar.
Move Silent
