Magnus will talk with the osler for about half an hour giving the others time to search and then excuse himself and meet up with them at the hotel.

To Twitch and Korren: "Afore tha disturbance ye mentioned ye might know where some Dwurs hid some heirlooms. I'd be very interesred in helping ye find it, provided I be getting me kins axe if'en its there". To everyone: "I sugest ye take care of ye personal bussiness' an meet at the Gyrfon on the morn ta find the cause of the curse".
“Well I have no desire to murder any of you yet, so it does appear new arrivals may not be immediately affected. If we are unaffected it is our duty to find out what is causing this insanity. We should start looking for clues at places that should provide some protection from this madness like the consecrated ground of a temple or the magical wards of arcane collage“.
"Hey, watch who you're calling cursed, I prefer to think of us as exciting to have around," grins Twitch as he sits at one of the chairs. "Anyhow, I was never really convinced that that old woman ever really knew what she was talking about. Make enough predictions of doom and you're bound to get one or two right." "Aye, I try ta stay away from all old ladies just in case there the real thing. I only see two of ya, guess the rumors of the disaster that happened in that last tomb ya robbed was true".
"I have heard tales of these 'storm riders', they where cursed by a god of storms and now wherever they ride they're followed by storm clouds and bad luck". "Are ye suggesting the gloom o'er the city is caused by a group of cursed mercenaries that ain't even here yet, not likely. Tis more likely something was left here in the city when the giants left. Istivin wasn’t retaken by force the giants and their masters just left letting the kings troops have the city. Lots of nasty things could’ve been left ta vex the humans.”
"Aye they twas possessed by somth'un, spell or creature I dina know. I spect that it's going on all o're the city fer a awhile. Perhaps the local temple would have a room safe from prying eyes where we kin talk".
Magnus kneels over Olaf and begins a healing prayer. Pulling the chisel from Olaf's arm and staunch the flow of blood until bone and flesh are healed. "by M's grace I mend the wounds inflicted upon you, praise by the maiden of valor".
"They'er possesed, knock them out before they kill each other". Subdual attack on the closest one, first attack=28 damage=6; second attack=19 damage=7
Magnus will get and try to interpose himself between the two fighiting, "Gents thar ain't noe reason ta be fighting o'er a spilt beer, now I sugest ya stop yer brawling afor my vows force me to stop the both of ya. Now sit on down and have the barkeep pour ya another round".
"Then more ale all round, Toots.
"Family business, an uncle sent me ta find sumpthin he left when the giants (spits on the floor) overran the city bout a decade ago". I shift my shield so the symbol of Mayaheine can be seen. "What you an your shifty friend doing in town? If yer up ta no good be warned that my vows will make me your foe if ya are ,not saying ya are but just saying". to Mitzi, "Thankyamuch, how much I owe ya Doll".
To Aerflae Windwaker: "Well elf is me or is the strangeness of the city particularly strong in this inn"? "All this weirdness is putting me off my ale and you know what happens when a Dwur is off his ale, headbustin starts". "Getcher own, ya mooch. I'm just saying this ain't the way a taverns suposed to be".

"Fried rice with boiled peas and scrambled goose eggs with a slab of ham with a tankard of your best dwur ale" I say looking for an open table near the coals.
"By the looks of things a miasma of gloom has descended upon your city. I have heard tales of shadows and disquiet intruding on the minds of the populace, perhaps after sufficient refreshment I could speak to the ones in charge and offer some advice or aid".
Brandishing my holy symbol,"I am Magnus Shalefist War-Preist of Mayaheine, protector of the downtrodden, enforcer of justice, and bastain of valor. In Mayaheine's name I have fought with your fathers to hold this land and fought with you to reclaim it".
With all the dry dwarven sarcasm I can muster "4 or 5 years if it gets in the gate faster".
"To the 'Rusty Beard' with all hast, the ale isn't going to drink itself ya know".
Thats humans for ya, no work ethic, no sense of pride in the quality of their buildings. The city looks the same as when it was reclaimed from the giants. I think I remember a few good pubs from the last time I was here, all of them far from this damm river.
Seems like we are only waiting for one character. Does everyone feel ok with me adding a few things for backgrounds, such as who you know when and why? I'm ok with it. In Magnus' backstory he traveled with the dwarves that warned Istivin of the giants army and stayed to fight with the kings armies.
Almost finished, I just need to double check my skills , pick magic items and come up with a background story. Couple of questions though:
Is it possible that Magnus was with the pary from Deepholm and stayed to whitness the capture and recovery of the city? Any limits on magical buffing Items other than gold?
I should have my dwarf cleric of Pelor up soon.Hay can you do that of Mayahene? She is LG but is much more tied to this story. Not a problen, converting to Mayahene now. The underwear the Mayahenes make you wear feels funny though (less room in the crotch).
