Dharakk's page

Hearing the confrontation behind him and expecting the worst in front Dharakk heeds Viorr's advice and moved into the sewer.

Dharakk ignores the the voice from above and focuses on threats from the area in front of him, What was making that noise?

At Taryn's warning Dharakk stopped waiting to see if any danger presented itself. After a moment he whispered, "What sort of noise?"

Thanks.

Dharakk slowly descended the stairs the sound of rushing water below fills his ears. He tried to keep one eye on the path ahead and one eye on the large Minotaur directly behind him, Why did I go first, I don't fully trust this lot. With an annoyed grunt he continued down the stairs.

As they approach the narrow stairway Dharrak hesitates a second and weighs his options. After a few seconds he announced, "I'll go first."

Looks good to me.

We are now in the gameplay tread of this campaign where you just posted. Both groups have been combined for now.

Edit: Ninja'd

Happy Thanksgiving to those in the USA. Everyone else Happy Thursday!

"You heard the man," Dharak announced with a wink as he followed the goblin guide. Watching the Minotaur otu of the corner of his eye he mimics the creature and draws his great axe. "Good idea," he reluctantly concedes.

Dharakk stood silently with his arms crossed while Taryn and the Warforged continued the negotiations with their competitors. He smiled a overly toothy grin and nodded his head in agreement at Taryn's warning about betrayal.

Pink Eye moves forward and stands next to Ama looking down his large great axe strapped to his back he grins a toothy grin at the half orc and his axe and stands there ready to act if needed but relaxed saying

no problems unless you have one

He' a big one, Dharakk thought as he eyed the Minotaur. "Step back cow-man I'm talking to the girl," he retorted belligerently.

Seeing his hand move towards his weapon, and the space between them, still, Ama felt reasonably confident enough to raise an eyebrow at his reflexive gesture towards his weapon. "Doubtful", she said with a bit of a shrug. "They don't seem to be after what you all are after, so everyone can relax a bit. There is a bit of curiosity in that their employer seems to be the same house, though. Does that seem like something that would be done?"

Keeping his eye on the large Minotaur Dharak replied to Ama with a shrug of his shoulders, "Who can explain the way these House Lords think. Always scheming trying to improve their position in their house even if they have to climb over the copses of the own house members." Still glaring at the Minotaur he asks, "Anything else on your mind?"

Dharakk watched the other group approach and his hand moved of its own volition toward the haft of his great axe. The half orc turns his head to the side and spits waiting to see if the other group wants to fight or talk.

The nod from one of the others made her feel a little better, and she moved with a bit more confidence, stopping several steps away. "...It appears that there is some overlap", she began with an intrigued look on her face.

Guess its talk for now, Dharakk concluded as he heard Ama's words. "A little. Is it going to be a problem?" The half orc growled at the girl.

Thanks missed the link

Taryn tightens his grip on his hammer at Dharakk's words. Stepping up next to the large man he counsels, "there are more of them, and we have no idea what consequences might arise from getting into a fight in here... I think, perhaps, we should try diplomacy first."

Looking at Ama he lowers his weapon and gives an almost friendly nod.

Dharakk looked doubtful and spit on the ground as he replied, "We'll see but I make no promises."

Have fun!

Dharakk lowers his head and mutters, "Get ready this could be trouble." He places his callused hand on the haft of his great axe and waits for the group to approach.

When he realized he couldn't approach the other group without being spotted dharrak stopped in his tracks, "Can't do it without being spotted."

"and, I have worse news," he continues more softly, "not only do we have a rival in Ama, but we've attracted the attention of someone else as well... there was a shifter marking us until I spotted him; then he vanished into the crowd and I lost him..."

Dharakk looks around nonchalantly, "We'll probably get a lot of unwanted attention around these parts."

I'm fine with 4, we still have all the bases covered.

Dharakk shrugs his shoulders at Beylinda's suggestion, "Better than anything I can think of." He begins to inch his way closer to the other group.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Dharakk gazed around the chaotic market, " Hey that's Ama the librarian, over there." He shakes his head, "What's her angle in this?" Aloud he asks, "Should we talk to her or follow her?"

As the party worked its way lower and lower Dharakk kept his ears open. Little by little he was able to piece together that they needed to go to a place called the rat market.

He pulled his companions aside and suggested with a grin, "The best place to get information might be a place called the Rat Market. You might want to hold your breath or plug your nose because its on the lowest level."

Gather Info.: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

Thanks for the poke my computer didn't update the other post for some reason.

I'm good.

"Good point, it might be best if we stayed close tonight. Better safe then dead," Dharakk agreed with the half elf.

Dharakk agrees with Cardus, "Best if we get a full nights rest in comfort before we go."

Tired from his fruitless search Dharakk makes his way back to the Dragon and orders an ale while he waits for his companions. Hoping they had more luck then he did.

Sounds reasonable.

Dharakk will gather information

Dharak made his way around the city trying to scrounge up information but doesn't have much to show for his efforts.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + (3) = 11

I will be on the road Tuesday – Thursday please feel free to bot me as necessary. I do not foresee having any problems posting. However, tomorrow is going to be an 18 hour day and I might just hit the sack when I get to my hotel.

Dharrak slowly shakes his head, "Those numbers do mean anything to me. I was hoping one of you could shed some light on their meaning." He considers for a few moments, "Might be best if we just go down and take a look and see whats what. Regardless, we'll need to get supplies and some rest first."

I think we will be fine with 5. As we go along if appears that it will be a problem we can re-recruit. Having said that if everyone else strongly feels we need to add another player now I'll support that.

"Lets go get something to drink while we figure out our next move," Dharakk states as he heads to the nearest Inn.

Dharrak hurriedly copies down the information, We've got a map now we just have to figure out what it means.

When he is done copying he suggest, "Lets go somewhere we can talk."

Perhaps we should have a roll call and see who is still with the game? Some have not posted since the re-start.

Kn. Local: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 7 + (3) = 29

Dharakk watches Ama unroll the map and has a nagging thought about it. Eventually he places it and points out, "I think that's some sort of schematic of the Dorasharn Tower as well as the systems of sewers and tunnels that lie beneath it"

Dharrak peers over Amma's shoulder as she looks over the documents. After a few moments he asks gruffly, "What do them documents say girl?"

Welcome back.

thanks for the heads up! See you October 3rd.

I got nothing

All, I am going to be on the road for the next three days and won't be able to post until late in the evenings eastern time.

Int DC 10: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Dharakk pushes he way to the front of the group so he can get a closer look at the Professor's effects. About what I would expect, he thinks as Dolom pulls out most the the mundane items. Ah here we go, when the journal is removed from the satchel.

He begins to examine the journal, "Interesting, every page is blank. Rubbing his chin he asks himself, "Perhaps the writing is concealed by alchemical or magical means?"

He looks to Dolom while he picks up a blank sheet of paper and the red chalk, "Do you mind?" Without waiting for an answer he begins to trace the design on the front cover of the book. "I don't recognize it, do any of you? Dharakk asks his companions. He continues as he holds up the journal, "Can any of you lot detect magic on this?"

Reluctantly Dharakk disarms and awaits instruction.

Dharakk his surprised by the scowl the librarian gives him. He shrugs his shoulders, "I didn't say it," He pauses for a second and continues, "but he's right it would be nice if we could be taking a look at those books lass."

Looking a little uncertain at the physical appearance of the one that inquired about the letter, Ama gestured at her robes by way of explanation. "The Head Librarian. The late Professor had come to the Library to acquire a couple of books, only to find that those books had been falsely checked out. We were going to a friend of his that could help when he was killed." She tried to maintain her composure, but cracked a little at the memory from yesterday.

"Books, what sort of books?"Dharakk quizzically grumbles at the librarian.

Probably the best we can hope for," Darakk nod in agreement to the offer.

Dharrak stays close to the newcomer as she inches closer to his companions. After she mentions the professor he can't help but think, Now I really want to know what that letter says.

Glad it all went well!

Hope all goes well!

Dharrak tries to return the smile the woman gives him but his protruding incisors make it look more like a scowl, "Sergeants busy right now lass."

He extents his meaty hand, "I be Dharakk, and I'd be happy to deliver your letter for you." He hurriedly continues, "Not that it be any of me business but what does the letter say?"

K. Local: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 7 + (4) = 22

Dharakk approaches the woman and asks, "G'day Mistress, is there anything I can do to help a noble Librarian of Sharn?"

Congrats!

Dharakk nods his head in agreement with Carduus, "A lookout would be good. I'll stay outside and keep an eye pealed."
