Ugh. That's a long time to worry.

Okay, one of Arista's distant relatives. =P

Nobody make eye contact. Maybe he'll go away.

Gregario's brow furrows as he processes the news. Godrick, an enemy of the church... The old paladin is conflicted for a time. Aiding Godrick would make him an accomplice an enemy by extension.

But after a moment, his path is clear. When he'd come to Zahvroma he was at his lowest and his faith had been weak. Now, even after the horrors this place had shown him, his bond with the Inheritor was the strongest it'd ever been and it wasn't the church he had to thank, it was Godrick and his brothers-in-arms.

"It'd be an honor", he answers.

Standing from his seat, Gregario finds that the weight of his years was just a little bit less of a burden alongside his new-found conviction. "I'll leave right away. Give my regards to the adventurers. I'd say my goodbyes but they're already dealing with quite a bit. I'll say a prayer to the Lady of Valor every day in their names."

Sure. Sounds good.

"Enjoying a drink near the docks and being reunited with their friends. The orc's back as well and the damphir too. If I didn't think this place was damned I'd say the gods are watching over them", Gregario explains.

"I'm glad to see the lords of Covington haven't driven you to madness. Valwick's done well under your leadership."

Gregario again found himself breathing a sigh of relief as the elf exited the tavern, in a rage, but at least without violence. After hurriedly finishing his drink (an effort that leaves the old paladin a bit dizzy) he shares a nod with Skaar and Sadanna. "I'm going to check in with Godrick. Gods know he must have given us up for dead by now. Be well."

I'm trying to come up with a graceful way for Gregario to depart. Maybe he'll leave with Godrick.

I hope Henry's feeling better.

Dawwwww.

Gregario puts up a hand to halt the defensive Arista but breathes a sigh of relief a moment later when the situation resolves itself.

"This is Skaar. He's a friend and a noble heart. Don't let his appearance deceive you. It was by his request that I joined their quest in his absence", the old paladin explains.

Posted to get things rolling.

A small smile creeps across Gregario's weathered features as he leads the party into the new town.

"It appears Harakhty has been hard at work", Gregario muses aloud speaking for the first time in what felt like days.

"I'm pleased to see the fort doing so well. A lot can happen in a month's time."

=(

Sorry guys, I need to crash early. I have errands to run at the break of dawn tomorrow.

Good night. =)

I'm getting ready for bed.

Gregario is around. He's just ready to return to the fort. He's worried about what kind of trouble has occurred in the month that we lost.

I'm out gambling tonight.

Gregario was still uncomfortable with the idea of lost time but he nods in understanding. "We need to return. Immediately. Thank you for the assistance."

Even though Sadhana had warned against the dangerous magic at work, Gregario is practically floored by the news. A month. He briefly wonders how much time would have been lost if they'd stayed in that cursed place a minute longer.

"Have there been any visitors looking for us? From the fort maybe?" he asks Umina.

Gregario's head swims as he struggles to make sense of the scene he's just witnessed. Who was this Godslayer and was he an enemy or a potential ally? What did destroying the crystals have to do with him? The old paladin groans as he feels a headache coming on but centers himself for now. He had to get everyone out of this rotting place.

"Come on, outside. Arista's right. We need to get back to the village."

What about the meds the doctor prescribed?

Gregario touches a hand to his head in an effort to remind himself of what was real. He briefly wonders if they were doing the right thing. Anything that aided the Dark Prince was likely evil but their task had been clear - the shards had to be destroyed. Was this a trick perhaps?

"End it Sadhana!"

Is everyone getting these visions? I thought it was just Sadhana.

How's the shoulder?

Got it added to the loot sheet.

"Come Sadhana. Your talents are needed below."

Does the serpentfolk have any gear?

"The crystal then", Gregario says with a nod.

"Another one of those damned masks", Gregario mutters at the sight of thing. "Do we destroy it? And what about the crystal out front?"

I don't recall, were we told to not destroy this crystal or did we just put it off because there was bigger problems to deal with first?

Gregario keeps his sword in hand in case more dangers appear.

"Can you get him conscious? We need to know what's happened here."

=(

Pneumonia maybe?

Gregario turns his attention toward the serpentfolk and levels his sword. "You! You're behind all of this? I will strike you down in Her name!"

Smite Evil

Sword: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 3 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 4 = 18

=(

I still have high hopes for 2014.

Ugh.

=(

Sorry to hear it. Take good care of her!

Rushing to Cyna's aid, Gregario takes another mighty swing with his sword at the lizardmen.

Sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Gregario presses the attack, bringing his sword to bear with little mercy.

Sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Gregario fends off the clumsy attacks directed his way before striking back with a vengeance.

”Don’t give up. Our enemy outnumbers us but are stronger still!” the paladins shouts.

Sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Fighting is hard!

That did it. Thanks!

Henry, it looks like I accidently posted as my DM alias in the gameplay thread. Do you mind editing the campaign and removing DM Feral as an active character?

Gregario grunts in surprise as the lizardfolk’s weapon strikes with deadly quickness, finding its way past his shield and into his side. The old paladin touches his wound briefly, willing it to mend before striking back.

LoH: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

Sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Alethiro is up!

Gregario advances cautiously with his shield held high and his sword at the ready.

Gregario pauses to study the massive door before sharing a glance with Sadhana. ”Nasty indeed. Prepare your spells. I have bad feeling about this.”

After everyone’s had a chance to cast their preparatory magics, the old paladin tries the doors.

After taking one more look around, Gregario leads the party to the hallway downstairs.

Gregario isn’t aware of Oblivion’s information. Is there an area we haven’t explored?

”That’s it? No signs of what’s corrupting this place.”

Gregario performs his usual checks, sweeping the room for the presence of evil.

Gregario nods in understanding and continues the search.

Getting that last room.

Gregario hands the ring to Sienna. "Do you know who's mark that is?"

After sweeping the room for signs of evil, Gregario searches the remnants of the desk.

Gregario tries the door to the southern room.
