Tefarek Posted April 8 Clone Share Posted April 8 (edited) Background You have discovered that Lord Thistledown, one of the leaders of Granary, was in league with the Drow. After capturing Thistledown, you met with Lord Wantys, one of the King's Council. Wantys informed you that Thistledown was dead, but that he had sold a powerful magical heirloom, called the Ruby of Lament to a powerful Drow family. The King is offering a 50,000 GP bounty for this gem, and your party of adventurers has signed on for this quest... Wantys said that the Ruby is likely located in the Drow City of Murder, called Che'el Venoch in Drowish. There are three main houses in Che'el Venoch: The most powerful is Llar Jora, or Three Rats. Their badge is obviously, three rats. The second most powerful is called P'Leik, or Suffering. Their badge is a black skull. The third House is called Ssinssrigg Vlos, or Lust of Blood. Their badge is a red drop. The House of Ssinssrigg Vlos bought the Ruby, and your party has been given badges of this House to help you on your journey. Before you went into the Underdark, you were given a bushel of Lantern Gold mushrooms. You are supposedly traders, looking to sell these valuable mushrooms to the Drow. Lord Wantys told you they are worth about 2,000 GP in the Underdark. %5Bhr%5D%5B%2Fhr%5D Your first day in the Underdark, you made it to the frontier town called Sun Town. Here, you spent the night, and you were faced with the choice of going west to a city called Demon Trench, which has a demonic population, or north to a city called Kiaransalee, which has an undead presence. You have decided to go through Kiaransalee. You and a Drow merchant train take a ferry across a large underground lake, and arrive at the other side. The merchant is going to Kiaransalee as well. Mart and Roderick move forward to propose to the Drow merchant that you travel together, with safety in numbers... The Dorw Merchant looks over Mart, then unexpectedly breaks out into a grin, and shakes Mart's hand. He points to himself, "I am Pielch." He listens to Roderick's offer that it safer to travel together, and he nods, "Agreed." He whistles for the pack lizards to get into a marching order, then he makes a brief introduction to everyone in your party. OOCOk, I am ready to roll again. Everyone please post something in this thread so I know you're still with us.

Balldanor Posted April 8 Clone Share Posted April 8 (edited) Thorgill whispers (well, in what passes as a whisper for him, anyways) Oi, try t' keep yer holy symbols away while we're wit' this group. If ye ha' to git it out, ye ha' to, but 'tis prolly better t' na' announce yerselves like tha' if ye kin avoid it. Turning to the merchant, he adds Ye kin refer t' me as Gill. Appreciate ha'in some travel companions down 'ere. Finally, he wanders over to where Sigille is standing and grins at the half-elf. E'en in this dank an' musty place, yer beauty stands out. What ye say we talk a bit on th' way? Edited April 8 by Balldanor (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blick Posted April 9 Clone Share Posted April 9 The group having agreed to travel with the merchant, Srileena turned her thoughts to the next destination. She had been guided on this path, and was trying to prepare herself as best she could for whatever outcome came of it. When the Pelorites started muttering prayers in front of the Drow merchant, and Thorgill reinforced it by pointedly mentioning their holy symbols before the same merchant, she sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose for a moment. Before they reached the city of Kiaransalee, she would likely have to kill the merchant and his companions so they did not speak of these things.

paladinred Posted April 9 Clone Share Posted April 9 Just to confirm 1. No holy symbols were mentioned or used 2. Please stop treating my post as though my characters are stupid, they would not mutter prayers in front of any drow. 3. They would not mutter anything within earshot of evil non believers. Thank you.

robert_gooey Posted April 10 Clone Share Posted April 10 Mart of Meadowvale Not entirely sure if he should be greeting a "happy" Drow., he hesitantly shakes his hand and tries to keep a straight face. He tries to repeat his name.. "Pi-eltch, Peeltch.. Peltch." perhaps Peach comes to mind....but I don't know if he even knows what that is. he shrugs and shakes the hand a bit better. More earnest. "Well Pieltch, are you familiar with this area?" Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tefarek Posted April 11 Author Clone Share Posted April 11 (edited) OOCMart had an exceptionally good CHA roll, so for whatever reason, the Drow merchant seems to have taken a liking to Mart. Jaco's CHA roll was pretty good too. Edited April 11 by Tefarek (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tefarek Posted April 12 Author Clone Share Posted April 12 (edited) Roderick asks, "So hows business. any paths to take when we return." OOC Doing a CHA roll for Roderick... label Pielch replies briefly, "Business good. I give you advice once we get where we are going." Mart says, "Well Pieltch, are you familiar with this area?" The Drow replies, "Yes, very. Tell your friends to follow my orders, and you will all be fine." Then Pielch takes Mart aside, and speaks to him quietly, occasionally gesturing toward the rest of your party. Once you are ready to go, the Drow merchant barks out an order in Drowish, and the four pack lizards begin to plod forward. The reptiles are all laden down with large chests. In addition to Pielch, there are six Drow guards for the caravan. Two Drow guards go to the front, and two Drow guards go to the back. The rest are in between, and you are free to go anywhere in the marching order, except ahead or behind the Drow. In spite of the size of the lizards, they are able to move faster than you can. The beasts effortlessly climb over the most difficult terrain without batting an eye...
