Saashaa here


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

I am assuming that we have everyone now, so I'm posting a link to Medieval York to represent the town of York.

Your adventure begins at York, just at the village green, known as St. John's Grene (still pronounced "green").

The maps speak a thousand words at this point. Everyone introduce yourselves and then we can get the main adventure out of the way.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

What's the adventure hook? Are we just wandering in the town of York, or have we been summoned for a purpose?

A nondescript man wandered the St. John's Grene, looking in the stalls and peddlar's carts, examining what's for sale.
5'9", brown hair, green eyes, he might be a fellow merchant, although he is carrying perhaps more steel than a normal merchant - a longspear and a crossbow are evident. The clothes and gear are a little battered, but well made and cared for.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

On the green is a board, full of want ads for jobs. Three of the jobs is asking for adventurers.

One is from the farmers, something has been stealing livestock in the middle of the night. See farmer Joseph for details.

One is posted for adventurers wanted to go travel to the mountains and see if they can bring back Hustler Dick, who jumped a gold claim.

The last is from the Adventuring Cow Company. Adventurers wanted to go explore a dungeon and to retrieve any gold. The Company asks for ten percent of the treasure for anyone who signs on with them.

Clad in the clothes of various cultures bought or scavenged along the way a salt and pepper furred wolfman stands with a fu Manchu mustached owl on his shoulder and a solid black wolf at his side. He looks at the strange board many wondering if he is capable of reading it or just perplexed at the strange sight. Few approaches as the wolf itself seem quite alarming.

Other than that the Wolfman wears leathers plated onto corded fabric with a spear in one hand and a free hand that seemed strangely an eerie almost ethereal white blue in color.


LG male Orc Brawler 5 | AC: 24 (T: 13, FF: 21) | HP: 31 / 49 | Perc +9 | F +6, R +7, W +2

A bald and rough looking orc stands looking at the town's job board. He is slightly shorter than an average orc but his frame is by no means lacking. His muscle is very well balanced across his body. Covering this beautifully physiqued build is a scratched but quality looking breastplate with a pristine large black shield. Though the shield looks magnificent, what really catches the eye about this orc is a distinct lack of any crests. A knight in appearance in every way, down to the heavy mace at his side, but no crest on a single article of clothing.

"I find myself drawn to helping Joseph," the orc says gruffly, his words fighting past his pronounced tusks. "What about you?"


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

"I take it you're looking for a job as well?" asks the non-descript man Take 10 on disguise + 10 hat of disguise + 4 Cha -2 different race = DC 22 to notice something is off about the "man" . "I have no objection to helping the farmer, and a friend to watch you back on such ventures is always a help. My name is Jonathan, Jonathan Tarquirian."


Male Undead Unchained Monk (Scaled Fist) 5

Vargos eyes the jobs board, seeing a few folks gathered around it, adventurers if he'd guess by their build, and confident stance. Adventurers tend to want to kill Vargos simply for being an undead. Still, he has just as much of a right as any to look for a job. His entire belonging was slung over his shoulder in a bag that could likely use replacing. Vargos dressed simply, in the garb of his monastery, though nowadays it hardly resembles it, what being tattered at the ankle and the sleeves cut off. Around his neck was his sole prized possession, though it is of no value, a necklace of iron beads to remind him of home and ground him in humility. His grumbling stomach didn't seem to care about a possible fracas, grumbling to let Vargos know he needed to get moving.

With a sigh Vargos walks up to the job board, overhearing some of the men speaking to one another. He hoped there would be no trouble here.

The farmer job appealed to him. What better way to show the folks some goodness can come from undeads by helping a man in need? Although, exploring a dungeon with gold seemed rather more lucrative... Vargos sighed again, weighing his options.


Male Wolven Shaman

Whisper watched the other men as they conversed. He narrowed his eyes and began to sniff the air about them wondering what shorts of smells they gave off. AS he did he began to speak a weird language and his Bird, Oi'che. As they converse the bird then nods and speaks.

"Hello, I am Oi'Che servant and guide to Whisper" he gestures to Whisper with his beak before he continues."Whisper seeks to take these jobs as well and was wondering if you might be willing to work alongside him to complete them." The owl says in a wise and elderly voice. It's common clear and concise.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Jonathan turns to the newcomer and looks him up and down. A wolven, not common in these parts, he thinks. "Your far from home and I've never heard of a Wolven who could speak a civilized tongue. Well Whisper, be true to your salt, and I'll not have problems working with anyone. The name's Jonathan, Jonathan Tarquirian.


Male Undead Unchained Monk (Scaled Fist) 5

Vargos was surprised to see the bird with the wolven speak. Momentarily forgetting himself, Vargos smiled. "How exquisite! I've always wanted to see a talking bird," he cranes his neck this way and that way to get a better look at the bird. Hid mood lifted, Vargos waved off his usual concerns. "I am Vargos. Dead, but not quite dead, as you can see. I travel the lands and my feet have taken me to you. Perhaps it is fate." Vargos offers his hand first to the bird, and then to the wolven.


LG male Orc Brawler 5 | AC: 24 (T: 13, FF: 21) | HP: 31 / 49 | Perc +9 | F +6, R +7, W +2

Bedik scoffs at Jonathan, which sounds half grunt from behind the tusks, "I am no servant or slave. I do not work jobs. I help people because that is my duty."

He regards Vargos with unconcealed skepticism, and then Whisper and Oi'Che with piqued curiosity. It seems that Bedik is not a hard one to read.

"I am Bedik, knight of the people. I am a defender of the weak and avenger of the victimized." At this he clenches his fist in emphasis.


Male Wolven Shaman

Whisper tilts his head and talks out the side of his mouth to his bird. As he watches his hands begin to move one the bright white and small the other strong and matching.

"Master Johnathan was it, I Oi'Che a gift from the great Elders speak for Whisper, for like all Wolven can not properly speak with non-wolven. We do not hide our bond for the Ancestors willed it." The bird is stoic but Whispers' brows scowl at the strange-smelling Johnathan as he looks to Vargos.

"Vargos it is true, My ancestors lead me here, we read it in the wind and the bones, even the entrails of our food spoke signs of where to go. And thankfully our friend Skydancer was with us for more plentiful food, As for me talking, well that is a gift given to Whisper to aid him in his fateful journey"

The bird then shifts too Bedik."Bedik, aiding your people is not a bad thing, being compensated via reward for doing that is not bad either, Without these posting how would we have known that they needed aid? Yes coin is offered but as I have found out the sense of community is less observed and communicated in these 'civilized lands', So honor these peoples requests and in their graciousness accept the rewards given, you'll be surprised as to what relationships and honor you receive from your ancestors" With that Whisper stops talking and goes back to looking at the job board and points to the post about the farmers.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Clouds start to move in. First it was one cloud, now their are five, and one of them is huge. Still, no rain will come this night. Adventure awaits the brave.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

"Well, Bedik wants to help Joseph the farmer, I am willing to do this, and so, I think, is Whisper. If Vargos agrees, our decision is made." Looking up at the clouds, he continues "It's cloudy, but it doesn't look like it will rain. Shall we try and find Farmer Joseph, so we can try and solve his problems tonight? I can see in the dark, 90 ft darkvision how about the rest of you?"


Vargos was delighted at hearing the bird speak and respond to him. Someone else was speaking, and he was taken aback that there was another undead there with them that he hadn't noticed. That bird truly captured his attention.

Silently refocusing, Vargos nods to all of them. "I wish to speak to this farmer and hear his plight. As the saying goes, if you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path."

Vargos wasn't keen on companions, but if they're all seeking the same thing...

Note the aforementioned undead is disguised as a human, with a DC 22 disguise...


Male Wolven Shaman

Whisper nods to the words Johnathan speaks and steps forward to then indicate that they should try for apprehending Hustler Dick. he wished to try and help as much as he can before he would listen to the likes of the Adventurers Guild.

"I am sorry Whisper, have I mis-stated your intent? You wish to pursue this claim jumper, rather than deal with the farmer's problem?


Male Wolven Shaman

Whisper shakes his head and points first at the farmer then the Claim jumper and then the Adventurers guild. He then repeats it in order. He then points at each of those gathered and then repeats. He hoped they would get the message as he hated communicating with Oi'Che all the time.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Watching Whisper's pantomime intently, Jonathan exclaims :"Oh, you think the first job we should try is the farmer, the second is the claim jumper, and finally the dungeon thing. Ok, let's go find farmer Joseph - the poster says a 1/4 mile north on the highway, the third farmhouse past the Monke bridge " With that, Jonathan starts walking...


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

The farmer is outside, trying to sell his crops at the north market of York. He is trying not to let the disappearance of his livestock get the best of him.


Male Undead Unchained Monk (Scaled Fist) 5

Vargos walked alongside with his new companions, though he kept his thoughts to himself. Not one much for talking, he stays silent and let the others do the talking when they reach the farmer.

[OOC: Sorry about the mistake for recognizing an undead, it was too late for me to edit my post, but we can just play it as if it didn't happen.]


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

not a problem


Male Wolven Shaman

Whisper nods as he points at Johnathan and then points to his nose. He then follows with his Wolf at his side. he begins to walk. Taking in the smells and sights of the civilized world.


LG male Orc Brawler 5 | AC: 24 (T: 13, FF: 21) | HP: 31 / 49 | Perc +9 | F +6, R +7, W +2

Bedik squints his eyes at the crew before him for a few moments before nodding with a grunt, "I will accompany you to help Joseph and then the claim jumper. Society exists because we have laws and traditions. Those who break these are dishonorable and must be punished."

With another nod he follows the eclectic group.


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Jonathan pipes up, "Assuming that whatever is carrying off Joseph's livestock leaves tracks, is anyone hear good at tracking? More of a city boy myself."


Male Wolven Shaman

Whisper waits for them to look his direction, He was trained somewhat in hunting yet was injured before he finished. he will never be able to be a hunter like the rest of his pack generation. So he became a shaman after speaking with Oi'Che.

Whisper confers with his ancestral guide and after a minute the bird-wise and stoic turns to speak to the group."Whisper though a wolven and quite knowledgeable with woodlore, however, our mutual assistant Skydancer here is an adept hunter, he is quite skilled to track down prey for us and then we can slay it an then prep it. He is also a well-trained animal, it won't be hard and we might get lunch on the way too."

"What Whisper is more worried about is that such a motley crew who are not entirely human.how would this farmer react? Whisper hasn't gotten the most welcoming of receptions here in these human-centric lands."


LG male Orc Brawler 5 | AC: 24 (T: 13, FF: 21) | HP: 31 / 49 | Perc +9 | F +6, R +7, W +2

Bedik puffs out his chest, "As a knight, Joseph will trust my judgement in companions. Just allow me to speak to him."


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

"Lead the way, Sir Knight", Jonathan is happy to let the knight handle the diplomacy.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

You find Joseph hawking, or selling, his wares at the North Market. He is selling vegetables at the moment. Celery and carrots mostly. He's not selling any herbs and his stall is next to the breadmaker's stall.


LG male Orc Brawler 5 | AC: 24 (T: 13, FF: 21) | HP: 31 / 49 | Perc +9 | F +6, R +7, W +2

Bendik confidently strides up to Joseph. "Are you farmer Joseph?" he starts gruffly, but friendly. "I am Knight Bendik and I would aid you with your missing cattle." Bendik offers his hand in shake.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

"Well, hello Knight Bendik, yes I have some missing cattle," said Joseph as he shook your hand. "I have two cows missing already. Someone has been stealing them in the middle of the night."


LG male Orc Brawler 5 | AC: 24 (T: 13, FF: 21) | HP: 31 / 49 | Perc +9 | F +6, R +7, W +2

Bendik nods his head, "Yes. We will post up with your cattle this night. Where is your farm?"


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

"North of here, about half way to the Abbey."


LG male Orc Brawler 5 | AC: 24 (T: 13, FF: 21) | HP: 31 / 49 | Perc +9 | F +6, R +7, W +2

Bendik grunts in affirmation, "I serve the common folk." With that, he begins trudging in a random direction (unless the farmer pointed when he said north, then he'll head in the pointed direction).


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

The farmer stops you and points in the right direction of his farm. "That way, noble savage," he says.


LG male Orc Brawler 5 | AC: 24 (T: 13, FF: 21) | HP: 31 / 49 | Perc +9 | F +6, R +7, W +2

Bendik smiles and nods, "Many thanks."


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

LoL: random direction! noble savage!

With a bemused smile, Jonathan takes in this exchange, shakes his head and follows Bendik off to the farm.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Anyone else following Bendik?


Male Wolven Shaman

Whisper looks at the Cows and then the fence while they are talking, he begins to look for tracks and what not on the exterior of the fence.

Survival: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Does he notice anything


M Undead Sorcerer (Wildblooded - Umbral) 5, HP 20/35

Is it Bendik or Bedik? I ask because the profile says Bedik, but in thread, everyone is saying Bendik

As the group heads to the farm, Jonathan asks, "So what is you plan, Ser Bendik?"

He notices some tracks leading off out of the pasture.


Male Wolven Shaman

Whisper begins to follow a for a few and then looks at the others. He makes a simple gesture for you to follow and see if this is where it leads.


Male Undead Unchained Monk (Scaled Fist) 5

Vargos watched the exchange with a bemused look. This Knight Bendik fellow had a certain rough charm about him.

As the farmer corrects the knight onto the proper path, Vargos exchanged a look with the man and gave a nod, but otherwise stayed silent and followed them.

Arriving at the farm, the wolven seemed to look about for tracks, before motioning to the others to follow. Vargos shrugs his shoulder, nods once again, and followed. His eyes were alert, but otherwise Vargos walked with a relaxed gait.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Perception check to look about as Vargos follows Whisper the tracker.
