Krovok turns to Ostran says, "So where is he now? Did a healer look at him? Why are you wanted for murder?"
While you're talking Krovok comes in and talks in his gruff, mumbling voice. "I've had a very confusing day. First, Jolin is missing. Then, Mevitari collapses. You leave apparently to take care of the situation. Then the Watch shows up and tells me that one of you," he stares at Ostran, "is wanted for murder. Then you all reappear with Jolin in your arms, covered in bluish blood. And Mevitari continues to be missing! Can someone please explain what is going on?"
You grab the chest and leave the scene quickly, Cogmin carrying Jolin. You make your way out of Fallen and ride the elevators to Middle Dura and Broken Arch. You are weary from battle and the business of the day and find the quiet orphanage much like you left it. Mevitari has not returned.
The throne itself is wooden and dilapidated. The chest is small and can easily be removed from under the throne.
And oprhans always need money, so Kyleria starts to carefully search the creatures. Under the throne is a small treasure chest.
1. Kyleria th lvl magic item
As far as you can tell, none of the bodies or the surrounding area reveals anything about why Jolin was taken. Jolin appears shaken, a little unsure of the the rest of you, but seems to trust Cogmin's gentle nature. Although he has known you most of his life, at least since he has been in the orphanage, he doesn't seem to recognize any of you.
Surveying the scene, you can see that what Kyleria said is essentially what happened. Also, Jolin seems in an odd state of nonrecognition.
Jolin appears to have no physical damage - perhaps he was in shock. You manage to gentle wake him. His eyes slowly open and he concentrates on Cogmin. He asks, "Who are you?"
Ostran and Lamander search the mostly deserted streets of Fallen for some time, but eventually come upon the sound of their party's voices in an abandoned church surrounded by glass shards.
There are no obvious reasons in the immediate vicinity for why Jolin was taken.
He rushes toward the shadowcaller and pierces into the xivort's heart. It dies. The combat is over. Jolin remains tied in the seat, unconcious.
"Lam,never tease an orc. They may tear your arm off", Ostran jokes as he walks up to him. "Shall we go find the others?" The orc runs away. The two of you are free to continue your search.
In addition, I'm going to roll a Religion check for you...
You're unaware of an orc icon to appear like; however, the orc, frightened, throws down your gold and plans to run away.
You hear the sound of someone being punched. Assuming you investigate, you see an orc beating on an elf.
Out of the corner of your eye, you see Ostran along the street looking at you without recognition.
You hit and the Shadowcaller gets a nosebleed as he squints in mental pain.
You are told to go to Fallen.
The guards eventually leave and Krovok slams the door shut. You are able to sneak out and learn quickly from a street urchin that you know that he saw your party headed to lower Dura.
He takes a swing at you.
Why don't you give me everything you have, and then we'll talk. He says, "Here's your orc," throws off a couple rags, and you find yourself about to be clubbed by an orc.
You kill the stirge!
You manage to sneak into the back way. Along the hallway, you notice that a couple of the orphans, around aged 10, have come down the stairs and appear to be listening to the conversation between Krokov and the Watchman.
The beggar: I have seen an orc. How much of that do you have? Beggar: Why don't you give me everything you have, and then we'll talk.
You find yourself soon lost among the abandoned buildings, slums and piles of broken glass. Eventually, you are approached by a humanoid creature, fairly bulky, wrapped around in bloody bandages and covered in ragged clothing. In a deep, grovelled voice, he says, "Can you spare some copper?" The beggar: I have seen an orc. How much of that do you have?
You kill the xivort, but not before he gets one final swipe at you as you move through the door. He misses!
Unfortunately a miss. Updated map
The Watchman is explaining that Ostran and his companion are wanted for murder. Krovok is explaining that that is impossible. The Watch wants to examine inside and Krovok won't let him without a search warrant. The two are hotly debating the issue.
The stirge immediately responds with an attack of its own - it bites at Balgron.
The stirge bites into Balgron, attaching itself and sucking out his blood with its long beak.
You don't notice the half-elf girl on your return. As you get closer to the orphanage, you notice two Watch guards having a heated argument with Krovok right outside the front entrance. It's hard to make out what you're saying from you distance.
Because I was unable to get a map up before, there may have been confusion. See updated map below. You will need to move up to the xivort to attack.
You find yourself soon lost among the abandoned buildings, slums and piles of broken glass. Eventually, you are approached by a humanoid creature, fairly bulky, wrapped around in bloody bandages and covered in ragged clothing. In a deep, grovelled voice, he says, "Can you spare some copper?"
Down in the streets you find out that this strange group of a minotaur, warforged, an orc and some girl went to an abandoned area of Fallen.
That misses the remaining xivort slasher.
He attacks Tulgeikh...
The shadow caller turns his attention to Cogmin. Shadow begins to surround Cogmin.
Cogmin fears not the shadows and he steps out from them unaffected.
The drunk man weakly swings at you, but then looks you in the eyes. He then smiles, says, "I didn't mean to swing at ya...yer a good person [hiccup]...so sorry." Then he goes to a corner and collapses, snoring loudly. The female halfling looks at you and says between the chewing, "How can I help you?"
1d20+8 You hear tell of a minotaur going downward, toward lower Dura, destination unclear.
The xivort makes a final lunge at Kyleria before her physic attack. He injures her, but she still turns his mind to mush.
You instantly kill the xivort, which quickly collapses with blood coming out of it's nose.
Ostran goes to the healer's place to find Kurala. You manage to sneak your way to the healer's place. Kurala's House of Healing is bustling this day, as people with minor injuries file in and exit completely healed filing out. The exterior is a circular stone building with a few windows, a small wooden door, a sign that labels the place, with a big Jorasco insignia underneath. You enter and you find a waiting room full of patients. A pretty teenage halfling chewing on some kind of plant leaf sits behind a desk and argues with a drunk man who seems to want service right away.
I've got to grab some information I don't have right now, but I will definitely have a response to this. For sure, you will find the healers' place - the same organization that was supposed to go to examine Mevitari.
X3 dies. Would you like to take your move action?
** spoiler omitted ** You successfully exit Upper Dura. You are alone, except for the revelers on the streets. What would you like to do?
Ostran is actually going to go back to the Temple where Mevitari is and hope that the House J rep is there. Hmmm...this is basically where you ran from. You can successfully enter the temple without notice, but most law-abiding citizens would turn you in. There's also the Watch crawling all over the place, inside and outside the temple, questioning people - including the healer from House Jorasco. Let me know if this is still what you want to do.
