Well, well Ptolemy, Who is you monther, and why whould she be in need of strangers to deliver something? Scin thinks maybe the mother is a cripple, or maybe this scamp is setting up an ambush in a blind alley. She was excited to see where this road went.
Don't be frightened son. What's your name?
Scin continues to scan the people traffic. Maybe we can talk to the Captian of the Watch afterwards. Inform him. maybe get some help in return.
How do people live like this? She scrunches her perfect nose We should get directions to the priest. Scin looks for a raggamuffin looking to earn a gold piece for guide work.
@ Elton, Yeah, I think everyone was waiting on you setting the scene... Are there guards at the gate? maybe a captain? A news crier? What type of traffic is there now, anything of interest. What type of establishments, and near the gate area? Merchants of different sorts? Can you paint a picture for us?
Scintillate shrugs her shoulders, and heads off down the road to Baldurs Gate.
Scint looks at Thorpe with sympathy. I understand the urge to mete out justice, but we have not been hired or given authority over this murder. She pauses and nods a little But let us say we do take this responsibility. It was a ritualized murder to gain favor from the god of murder by one of his cultists. The cultist would know to pick a stranger and keep his identity hidden to protect from lowly divinations. What do you imagine the dead boy will tell you other than someone tortured and killed him, he knows not who. We know the murderer heads to Baldurs Gate. Do we really want to give him an extra 24 hours before heading after him?
Scin nods. Then when we get to town, I will visit the temple and relay the message. She pauses and bows Unless you have further need, I bid you a fair day. Scin floats out of the temple, and looks at the others in the group. I have no more business to address here. Shall we move on to Baldur's gate?
We can get word to the priest for you, we were on our way to Baldur's gate anyway. What is the priest's name?
Scin floats to the church's double doors. She lands softly, and pushes the doors wide. She carries her grisly package into the temple. She pauses and bows her head to pay homage to the martyr god. She scans the church looking for a priest. Hello? A towns person has been martyred.
Scin carries the wrapped up body parts past Pandora and Thorin. Only blood and gore remain. Hopefully, a priest will aid in a peaceful rest for this unfortunate. With that she takes flight to carry the body to whatever place of worship this town has.
Scin steps out of the barn and makes some arcane gestures and sounds. He lithe body begins to rise higher and higher. She looks in the direction of Baldurs gate, looking for travellers in that direction. From her flying vantage point, it was possible to see movement she could not see from the ground. She returns to the barn, and retrieves a horse blanket and goes about the grisly task of collecting the poor souls body parts. She wraps up the blanket and carries his remains outside. I will take his remains to the church so they can prepare his body for burial.
Scin scans the scene. She cocks her head at the sight. It wasn't the first time she'd seen a torture killing. She only wished she had been here to stop something so sensless. The horse whose attention was captured elsewhere, captured her attention. The beautiful half-orc moves closer to the horse, and looks to see what it sees.
Scin cocks her head. That didn't sound like a scream of ecstasy. She tries to figure out where the scream came from.
Does this mean arcane spells don't work anymore? Can you post the effects on gameplay for those of us without the resource material?
I guess Baldurs Gate does sell hair gel
Butt-kicking for goodness!!!
ok. So we won't be able to upgrade what we have then?
I'm good with whatever, let me know what I need to do with my item list
I need to work on fluff, but here is the sorcerer
I had thought the debt would be the hook needed. Either she owed Abals directly or they bought the debt to secure her services. And as rewarding as being the city's version of Viagra is, she could easily be ensared if given a greater purpose. I saw her as the party investigator/interrogator and support. I saw her as being pregnant with RP possibilities. Just so I understand, You are looking for PCs who are semi-optimized combat oriented for this adventure?
I thought being recruited but the Abal's agency was a given. I'm guessing you mean the gestalt and skills are no use to your adventure. Too bad. Thanks for your consideration
