Brody looks over the note the Queen had found on the body, realizing that perhaps this body has something to do with the job he just agreed to take. He looks around at the others he had recently met that also agreed to the job. "Is it just me or does this note seem like this guy has something to do with the job we just signed up for? Was he going to be our contact with the abbey to take us there? If so how will we get there now? It seems they have a rat within their midst spying on them and sabatoging them as well to make them vulnerable. " he waits for his companions to respond as he listens and looks around.

OOC

 

 

[Rudolf]

People approach from the outside, and you hear the clink of armor as they move. They are clad in blue cloaks like the man you found on the floor, and each carries chainmail and a longsword. There are five younger monks, led by one older man in breastplate who still looks like a capable warrior but has boils and a rash on his arms.

The older man introduces himself “I am Brother Sidanus, and we are looking for…ah.”

 

He moves to the body resting in the bed, and feels for a pulse. Finding none, he bows his head. “Sister Arden, will you lead us in prayer?”

 

One of the young monks looks briefly surprised, and then begins the Prayer for the Valiant.

 

 

[MrNeech]

"I suspect you're right," Orin quietly says to Brody, gesturing toward the notes that Q found in the dead monk's hand. The young man briefly steps outside so he can call for Badger without interrupting the rites for the fallen monk. He waits a moment to make sure the animal has heard, and then steps back into the inn - lowering his head respectfully as the newly-arrived members of the abbey continue their ritual.

Igni nods at Brody's assessment. "Either this was the rat or this one discovered that note as evidence of the rat and was attacked. But surely if he discovered a traitor in their midst he would just go to the Abbott? There's more to this than we know," the dwarf mused thoughtfully.

He looked up as the contingent of monks arrived. They were heavily armed and armoured for a religious order, although Igni himself could hardly talk. If he had to guess he'd think this group had set out specifically to track down their deceased colleague and had come prepared for a fight if necessary. Perhaps the deceased man was the cultist of Hextor and they had been hunting him.

Igni bowed his head and followed along respectfully with the prayer, joining in as much as was appropriate for one who followed a different faith. Once it was done he approached Brother Sidanus, showing his holy symbol of Tharmekhul to identify himself as a fellow cleric. "Igni Firebeard," he introduced himself. "Pleased to meet you, although I wish it were under better circumstances. Sorry for yer loss." He then indicated the arms and armour of the group. "You've come ready for a fight though. What has happened?"

“Lord Heironeous welcomes all who do battle against evil. And yes, we are a militant order. One does not defend the weak with good will alone.”

 

The younger woman who led the prayer interrupts. “There was a…beast of war outside. It resembles a wardog, but it is like no dog I’ve ever seen. Does it belong to you, master dwarf?”

 

[paladinred]

Name: Queen Mhiryaana III

Race:  Pixie

Classes: Pixie 5//Ardent 5

The Queen

Queen Mhiryaana eyed the newcomers with at least a little suspicion, she hid the note and then surely if there had been such a creature outside then would not Badger have at least sensed it? She introduced herself to the newly arrived "well met good sirs and good ladies, my name is Queen Mhiryaana III and I too offer my condolences. Do you know why he was here? you see this is the meeting place for adventurers. Some are ....err...not on the straight and narrow as it were" she said as the lilitu demon Zyxoni sat and enjoyed a bottle of wine with the ghoul sorceress Abbi just inside the doorway into the main room.

 

Q said "I would like to help you find his killer, the war hound must have had a handler. And that handler would be working for someone of power, there must be plenty of them around here" the little pixie says.

 

[Barrigan]

Igni nodded at Brother Sidanus' words. It was wise to be pragmatic in matters like this. Lofty ideals were one thing but they were worth little if one was not willing to defend them. "Well said. But why were you looking for this man? Had he done something?"

The question from the young woman confused Igni for a minute. "Beast of war? No, I don't have anything like that. What did it look like?" Then an odd thought occurred to him. "...wait, are you talking about the badger?"

[Rudolf]

The younger woman nods. “No badger is that big. And how would you train it? It’s a wild animal.”

 

 

[Rudolf]

“Let that be a lesson then, brethren. There is much in this world that is unknown. And much that is unknown is dangerous.”

 

“Our abbey is having trouble with goblins. They are not strong enough to mount a direct attack, so instead they ambush those who travel to and from our lands. Brother Orden was expected some time ago, and when he did not appear, we left to look for him. It appears we were too late.

 

We thank you for doing what you could, travelers. May we borrow the bed for the night?”

 

After the cook nods, crying, Brother Sidanus gestures, and the six younger monks pick up the bed and walk out the door with it and their fallen comrade.

 

 

 

 

[MrNeech]

A bit concerned now, Orin continues to keep one eye out for Badger. He's grown so used to the animal that he takes it for granted that others would find the sight of the striped animal in his suit of leather armor to be as perfectly normal as he does. Best to make something of an introduction now - if a tragic encounter hasn't already occurred, best to nip one in the bud before it does.

"A badger travels with me as a companion. He was a gift," Orin refrains from mentioning that he was gifted by grateful goblins, given Sidanus' revelation. "Like many such companions, he is clever and was reared from a young age to work with a handler."

The young farmer finishes with an open-handed -what can you do?- gesture, as if to indicate that it's perfectly normal to travel with a small burrowing mammal trained to battle.

"I only regret we were unable to do more for your Brother Orden." Orin bows his head for a moment, before returning his gaze to the group's employers. "When did the trouble with the goblins begin?"

Queen Mhiryaana flew through the door and her thoughts were, if ever they have hurt that badger. The little pixie flew around the front of the Inn and gained some height so that she could get a better view, she flew around the Inn with her eyes peeled.

Q finds the badger after a while, lying on a pile of leaves.

The Queen

Queen Mhiryaana flew down to badger and looked him over to see if he was ok, if he needed first aid she would use a charge from her healing belt.

 

[Rudolf]

Badger is unhurt, but happy to see Q, and follows her around making his usual snorting sounds.

 

[Rudolf]

“Goblin trouble has lasted several months now. If only they would stand and face us in a proper battle! But no, they sneak off and hide, and we are not well-suited for digging them out of their hiding-places.

 

If that beast of yours is as well-trained as you claim, the Abbot may be interested in speaking with you.”
