I have to apologize to everyone. What was intended to be a week's hiatus has developed into more than that, and my priorities have developed quite a bit as well. I won't be able to participate in these games for a while yet. A may be back later on, but I don't want to promise what I don't know. For now, I'll say that I am on leave for an unknown amount of time. Thank you all for playing with me. I've enjoyed your company very much.
Apparently our fearless guide has been scared senseless. Touchstone shrugs and follows Nimt inside.
Touchstone follows Nimt, but whispers to Balinor [b]Do you know this man?
Meh, alright. Touchstone tosses the box up to Grima. We were told you would have payment.
Now, wait just a minute. What business do you have with this poison? And why was our errand made to be so secret?
Well, we were hired to bring this box of poison to some fellow named Grima. Of course, we didn't know it was poison to start with. Would you be the man of the hour, then?
Touchstone readies his sling if the man proves hostile. Who's that? Do you live here?
Touchstone marches up to the front door and knocks politely three times. If there's no answer, he will try to open the door. If it is locked, he will attempt to pick it.
Touchstone is specifically looking for signs of who lives/lived there and how long it has been since they were there.
Touchstone investigates the area around the house briefly , the approaches a window to look in, sling drawn and loaded.
would you come with us? You are obviously more aware of the dangers within.
Touchstone ponders Nimt's question briefly, then answers Well, I guess if it's poison or something that would pretty incriminating. I don't know, really. I'm just curious, and this seemed like as good an opportunity as any to check it out. Touchstone turns to the axe-man Who are you? And how do you know Grima and Finch? Why are trying to warn us?
Can anyone identify this? I don't know a darned thing about alchemy.
Touchstone pulls out the box from his pack. Well, I don't know what else, but I'm certainly opening this.
Touchstone loads his sling and pulls his dagger, awaiting the man's response.
Meh, lets move on and if he shows up, so be it. I'm ready to proceed to whatever is at the end of these woods. Or something, at least.
Touchstone decides better of his weapon, and switches out his spear for a flask of oil and his flint and steel. I vote that we stay on the path. I'm not fond of trees.
Actually, I've been playing on these forums for about a month, and that's all the pathfinder I've done. I owned the pdf rulebooks since they first came out as a hobbyist, but I haven't actually played until now. I'm GMing a couple games here, too. What about you?
Touchstone uses his spear to brush away as many spiderwebs as possible, and loosens his dagger in its sheath. Sometime giant spiders would get in the mines back home, but we always chased them away before they could make webs like these. This is nasty. And creepy.
Yeah, no worries here. I'm just impatient, that's all.
Touchstone marches out the door, expecting the rest of the crew to follow him. Once he is a ways away from the tavern he says So, did any of you notice that axe-man from last night? It seemed like he was watching us.
Sorry. I'm just excited. Touchstone hangs his head earnestly. To Nimt, he replies, much more quietly now, Indeed we are, sir. I'm always up for some help.
Ditto. Just jump in right now.
Touchstone takes the package, tucks it in his incredibly full pack, and heads back over to the crew. Ready to go?
Touchstone says to his friends before entering the tavern Well, I hope Grima isn't really responsible for the murders, but I guess gold is gold. He marches through the door, finds Grima, and says, from across the tavern, Well met! He waits to get closer before continuing quietly Where is the package? We're ready to go.
Hey, Tanrak, if you click the button at the bottom of your textbox that says "show," you can see a list of all the forum functions.
Spoiler:
Hiding things from people, Italics are for In or out of character thinking URLs are for Linking things Dice are for dice.
Very well. I'll take this "confidential" package to Grima. Do we need to take it now, or can we wait until morning? Touchstone walks back over to his companions and says Is anyone else going to do this with me? I'll give you even splits.
So, you're saying that you want me to deliver a package to Grima, and then he might have more work for me? What kind of wages am I looking at? And what kind of package? Touchstone eyes the fellow in the corner, making sure he makes eye contact, so that the hatchet-man can tell he's well aware of his presence.
I'm just a simple traveler, but I hear that you know much of this area. Can you tell me where I can find work? I've taken a liking to these parts, especially now that I've invested my bow and blade in the town's defense. I would rather like to stay here for a while.
Touchstone, wary of sitting still for too long, decides to go chat with the pale man in the corner. Hello, sir! My name is Touchstone Borisson. May I make your acquaintance?
Touchstone nods to Brevan. Indeed, I would hate to ruin everyone's good time. Our companions here are awfully quiet, wouldn't you say? Anyway, I'm in need of an emptying, if you know what I mean. Touchstone excuses himself to the restroom, stopping by Lachtopher on the way back. So, good man, can you tell me anything about that fellow in the corner? Touchstone indicates the pale man. And did you see his companion? They weren't enjoying any of your fine drinks.
Touchstone leans over to Brevan and whispers Were you looking at those fellows in the corner, too? They seem to be the only ones not celebrating. And they both looked pretty shifty to boot. Out of habit, Touchstone pulls his dagger an inch out of his thigh holster for easy access.
When are we starting this thing?
Where is everybody?
Touchstone happily surveys the room, amused at all of the drunken fools, since he, being a dwarf, has already put back several ales with no sign of lessened mental acuity. He casually kicks back and enjoys the company of his new companions at the table in the center of the room.
He finds it a bit amusing that the couple in the corner thinks that they can be secretive in a tavern, especially since he is quite sober, but generally just casts an eye over every few minutes to avoid an accidental eye-lock.
Alright! I'll keep an eye out for when we start.
I actually don't have much in the way of "soft" skills. Touchstone is quite practical and doesn't care for socialising.
May I join in your second party? This alias is a dwarven rogue (burglar) with a focus on creative problem solving. His parents fell ill and were unable to provide for his family, so he turned to thievery, but was quickly discovered and banished from his tribe. I'm currently GMing several games on the forums, but haven't been able to join a game to play. I can post at least once every day, usually 2-3. |
