Group hug guys. *opens arms*
Gloom Goggles from the elf we took as a slave = 500?
total = 4710gp. (plus a few kits and cheap things) As for items I want... not sure.
All good. I don't mind letting others have the action and sitting back for a time.
wow I haven't posted for a while. Have been reading everything but didn't see anything new really to respond to. Still up in the stands watching the games though.
Can cursed items be intentionally made? The curse is not chosen if they are accidentally made I'm pretty sure. Seems rather expensive to 'design' an axe that explodes after 50 damage (not a whole lot of damage for 1 day really as we saw it happen in 1 battle) unless being a magic weapon the explosion doesn't actually destroy it? My guess is accidental. But, I bet they knew what they were putting in the pile of weapons though. ;) That was definitely for entertainment.
DM: He would use the Bird Feather Token that he snagged from the Xilres treasury and has been keeping for just this sort of occasion.
Letter to Home: Esteemed Parents, I am sending you an update on my current situation. I have been moved to Akropash to investigate a possible life changing incident that could have widespread repercussions for our business. Wether this bodes well or not I wait for your advisement. As well recently I have heard mention of a lost artifact of the Mother of Lusts. Such a thing would be cause for jubilation if it could be acquired. We would become wealthy beyond anything. The location is currently unknown and proceeding is difficult. As always business is running smoothly, there is at least some excitement here and I have begun connections with several resourceful contacts. L.
"Bravo. Well done." Lindale copies the attitude of the crowd but is glad that Bjorkus looks to be leading his team to win.
Chilling and waiting for people to start dying :D
Not hostile? plz. You don't have to be attacking someone to be have a hostile attitude towards them.
I think Bjorkus wants to die lol
Well with Lolth being the queen of spiders... maybe there is something there.
"Perhaps he will be killed. Perhaps being Targ's grants him special concessions. There seem a few that stand out from the rest. Where do your bets lie?"
Well that's an interesting turn of events. The paladin is a slave, or pretending to be... I wonder who owns him. "What brings you to visit us so openly Yix?" he doesn't turn around but keeps watching the crowd. "Others have been named for odder things I imagine. Tell me, would you know who owns the tiefling slave that just fought?"
The arena was indeed turning out to be quite a bit more entertaining than before. Though Lindale knew what was coming he did not expect them to loose the worm so soon in the day. As Bjorkus was swallowed by the work he thought that perhaps the half minotaur had met an untimely end but when he emerged victorious Lindale looked over to Haevish with a slight grin. Do you doubt me now?
With my +12 I take 10 to gather information on the self sufficiency and resources that Akropash has and the things that it imports/exports, what sustains the economy beside slaves and the river. Easy information to come by I would think. Guessing no iron mines or the like by their lack of metal weapons but their 'could' be salt/gems/quarries/what have you.
Since it's carved from what stone was there im guessing it's not exotic. Another question, any mines nearby?
Being next to a river its highly likely Dalton. Not that I know anything about rocks.
Before the games start he takes Ninnec and asks him about all the other slavers, who is more important than whom, most slaves, least slaves, who kills their slaves too often, etc. He also asks the best way to go about meeting or introducing himself to them. If appropriate he will suggest Toramin to accompany him as his personal slave for the day. "Come meet the competition." He doesn't watch Targ or Acera closely at all but instead those around him.
Ninnec says it a perfectly acceptable thing to do: He has Detect Thoughts ready when/if he meets the first one. Not the most important slaver, but one of the ones who also has a slave in the fights today. "Quite the spectacle these fights. Did you happen to catch the last round? If I were you I would bet on the half-bull again," he says with a smile, "Got the muscles to beat the toughest and just enough sense in him to find their weak spots."
"I guess you'll just have to owe me later. Perhaps help me stay alive if I ever need it."
Apologies guys! Busy drow. I thought I had posted last night but. I'll stop doing so much solo stuff I guess. Life is a bit crazy for me right now with my job.
"Yes. The circle seems safe. But I need to warn you. You are being watched. Someone wants to silence you. You need to lay low for a while. Are you hearing me?" If he doesn't seem to take this seriously or is drunk enough not to care Lindale thumps him against a wall to shake him out of it some. "I'm serious, you need to disappear for a little while or you could end up dead." Hopefully the man took his words to heart or more serious measures would be needed. After helping him home Lindale goes back to the inn.
"Well well. It looks like you could do with a rest. Here's another few rounds men." Lindale laughs at the clearly drunken man and offers him a hand. "How about we call it a night and get you home. You wouldn't want to miss the arena tomorrow. I'm new to these lands but I just had to stay and see the arena. Especially after Targ made the announcement today. Tomorrow will be remarkable, I'd bet everything on it." He slaps down another 10gp for the m men to drink away.
Lindale seen an opportunity open and heads over to the table with a set of drinks for them. "Your friend seems done. Shame. It just so happens that I have too many drinks and no one to share them with. Here, this is on me." He makes to sit down atthe table.
Lindale waits and watches, waiting for his target to move first.
Bad guys are mostly the same level as the PC's ;)
'Aries' socialises at the circle, keeping an eye out for the man Lucian had given him a picture of. If spotted he will wait and see how early or late he stays. If he stays very late 'Aries' leaves at midnight and waits in an alley nearby if possible for when the man leaves. If he leaves early he will also leave and try to follow him a little.
In the other Circle: Lindale grabs a drink and looks for Yix. "How goes the night my friend?"
After leaving the secret underground lair Lindale heads back to the city. The image won't quite be enough, I need to see the man. He wanders through the markets, observing those there, watching to see if he was being followed again, looking out for the man in the sketch he had, checking out some of the slaves(if there is a slave market/auction) and anything else that caught his eye.
Lindale makes sure to commit as much of the picture to memory before folding the paper inside his clothes.
"I will come to the the Circle tonight. If I can get a look at him tonight, I may be able to help. Why would the white cloaks want to watch you instead of the Serpents?" He takes the sketch and studies it.
I find it hilarious the amount of good rolls I get out of combat compared to the rolls I get in combat...
As long as he keeps them to himself then your good. Ah who am I kidding.
Finally he sees Lucian and his company and enters, nodding at him. "Of course." he says to the drink as he takes a seat. "It is rather useful. You can surface anywhere you want around Akropash? " "Not many alive would remember. I met an elf once who remembered the wars. Many things were lost. Only a few ever return."
"I wish to find him too. But the lead casing around the item hid any magical aura it might have had so tracking it that way won't work. They were a group of mercenaries that came out of no where and attacked us. Perhaps you know of the merchant who was transporting it." Lindale tells him of the merchant and being hired to protect his wagon and the item they didn't know they were really protecting. "Knowing who he was associated with might help. Find them, find their enemies. Eliminate possibilities. Just an idea."
Almost didnt recognise you there
Lindale warches the halfling return with blank face, Well done Heff. He has not much chance to say anything when the arrival of Targ is announced. He goes with the crowd, not wanting to miss the grand arrival and see Targ and Acera for himself if possible. He is not disappointed as he stands there. The giant of a man, almost to be mistaken for a brute soon shows that he has the intelligence to be where he is. How much Acera effected that though was unknown. "Death worms in the arena and more. He means what he said."
But it's only 2pm. :P
Wondering how I will 'find' you guys. Also still got to meet Lucien in the afternoon.
"Ok, I'll be back in the morning with the gold for you. Not a small amount after all. Thanks for not stabbing me with that." Lindale doesn't have anything else he needs to talk about here.
Does anyone think that the mask of stony demeanor is a silly item? I figured that if I could disguise over it with my normal disguise no one would ever see it to wonder.
He nods. Let's hope not... "I might know someone I can ask actually. You said you could acquire things for us. I might need to make use of a mask of stony demeanor. Think that's possible?
