Balgron shakes his head clearing the cobwebs, stands and swing his swords with precision hoping to catch the final Xivort Slasher.
Balgron shakes his head clearing the cobwebs, stands and swing his swords wildly hoping to catch a Xivort in the process.
Balgron lashes out at one of the Xivorts just before taking what would be a fatal blow.
Balgron tosses a lit sunrod into the center of the room then charges the Xivort Shadow Caller attempting to gore with his single horn, ignoring the Xivort Slashers along the way.
Balgron, seeing the Xivorts slashing at Tulgeihk, moves carefully into the room and in turn swings his blades wildly at the Xivorts, hoping to clear some room for the others to enter.
Balgron will reach into his pack for a sunrod, crack it, and toss it out into the room in front of him.
Balgron puts his shoulder into the door to attempt to break it down.
Balgron approaches the hideout cautiously, turning to see which of his fellow orphans are following. "Are you all coming or am I the only one brave enough to risk my life for that of Jolin's?" he asks his companions. He inspects the door and listens for movement inside.
I agree the search for Jolin part can continue. If we do encounter resistance, the encounter will likely take some time, so we can get a head start on Ostran and Lamander as their encounter likely isn't taking as long. If we all wait on Davi, then they'll likely be waiting for us to complete our encounter later anyways.
Balgron also notices a statue buried deep in the glass pile . It appears to be a statue of the saint of the Silver Flame church, and parts of it appear to be made of gold. It could be difficult, if not dangerous, to reach it though. Balgron covers the partially golden statue back up by moving glass shards back over top of it, "We can come back for this later, it would be nice to fill the orphanage's coffers, but right now we need to find Jolin before too much time passes. Balgron approaches the abandoned church cautiously, on the lookout for traps as the glass piles seem to funnel our approach.
Balgron draws his longsword and uses it pull the bodies from the pile of glass to inspect () them further. He ponders how long they have been dead. After that he draws his shortsword and uses both to aimlessly look through () the glass shards for anything of value or clues while keeping one eye on the building in front of him, knowing full well he's about to disobey the literal warning signs.
Dungeoneering isn't quite the right skill - History or Steetwise are a little closer. History Check, 1d20-1=16 Balgron approaches several bystanders, questioning a few about known cases of kidnapping in the past, where they occurred, how, and were they ever found again.
Balgron hoists himself up by standing on a cart in the street to get a better vantage point. He still sees nothing of the small blue humanoid. After getting more info from Kyleria, Balgron ponders where in Lower Dura a child could be held without any notice.
"As much as I want to see Mevtari through to the temple, I feel my keen eye would be better used scouring the streets for poor Jolin."
Balgron rushes into the kitchen, "Krovok, somethings wrong with Mevitari, he's collapsed, come quickly!"
"I, I, I, my mind was elsewhere, I think I saw her talking to someone, I thought it was another child at the time. It was a halfling, a gnome, or some small humanoid but with blue skin" Balgron wracks his mind to remember the details. "They were wearing a bright red cloak and a griffon mask. The kidnapper must have convinced her to wander off, she would never do that on her own."
Balgron holds the front door of the orphanage open as all enter. He takes a head count one by one. "Twenty-one, twenty-two," Balgron then points to himself, "Twenty-three." He steps back out into the street and looks both ways, seeing if there are any stragglers. Seeing none he reenters the orphanage. Starting to worry, he approaches Mevitari, "I only counted 23 upon returning, we're missing someone ... Jolin, has anyone seen Jolin?" Balgron's voice raises and becomes gruff with the final question.
"Where were you, Balgron?" "I was running the usual errands, food for the week and some cleaning supplies. I also picked up a few nuts and bolts out of the spare parts bin for you, nothing to get too excited about though." Balgron is taken by surprise as the wyvern does an unauthorized flyby, the pattern was already full of pegasi and glidewings. As the young rider lands his mount on the roof, Blagron follows Mevitari's orders by holding young ones back but quickly yields to their whining to pet the pegasus.
Balgron watches the races with a few peeks at Mevitari to see if he is harboring any animosity towards Balgron for being late and to see if he suspects Balgron was up to more than just errands.
Balgron's equipment, hide armor, swords, were recently acquired for being a messenger(smuggler) around the lower portions of Sharn. He will keep his equipment on his person under his clothing when wandering about, but while at the orphanage, he'll keep it hidden inside the mattress of his bed.
A medium sized minotaur with only a single horn comes racing through the crowd to the viewing area out of breath. "What have I missed? Are the races over yet?" Balgron was out running the morning's errands for Mevitari and got side tracked as usual on a side mission of his own. "Mevitari, I purchased the foodstuffs and cleaning supplies, and they are already in the pantry back at the orphanage." Balgron exhales as he hopes Mevitari will forgive him for not helping escort the young ones to the races. In actuality Balgron was running wagering money around town for some recently acquired "friends" outside the orphanage.
