hoverfrog Posted April 11 Author Clone Share Posted April 11 THE MISTS OF THE MOURNLAND Chapter 1 Part 4: The Mists of the Mournland As far as you can tell the city on the horizon is indeed Metrol. The towers, second only in fame to Sharn, are quite distinctive, although the floating gardens are missing from the skyline. You set off on the Earth Sled in that direction, looking for a place to camp close by before darkness falls completely. The land seems mercifully clear of bodies unlike the battleground where you entered the Mournland and the border with Karrnath. There are one or two on the way, travellers caught in the Mist on their way to or from the capital but these are few and far between. Once again their perfectly preserved bodies could be sleeping or have fallen moments ago as far as you can tell. Antonio speculates as to the unusual leap forward, agreeing mostly with Roderick, "There are visitors who have said that things have moved around from before the Mourning. Streets in cities sometimes face the wrong way or a road leads to a completely different district. The Mist itself is said to confuse travellers. Sometimes a journey can take minutes and sometimes people just get lost in there and are never seen again." "Some say it is similar to the Traveller's Curse. You've heard of that, right?" He doesn't wait for an answer before continuing, "In Xen'drik it is said that you cannot find the same destination by the same path twice so people arrive at places earlier or later than they'd planned but never on time. It's a remnant of the Fall of the Giants when the dragons smashed their empire. All that magic unleashed at once upset the natural balance of things. I assume it is the same in the Mournland." You are forced to stop about ten miles from Metrol, fortunately at an inn that stands on the roadside. Bodies lie across the yard, lined up neatly with a cloth over each of their faces. It would appear that someone stopped here at some point in the past and emptied the inn. Going inside you find rooms made up and unused and some rooms left after having obviously been slept in. The common room is empty and the kitchen is too although firewood is cut and ready and a cooking pot is clean and available. There is a note pinned to the pantry door. "Sirs, I did not want to share a house with the dead but it felt strange to treat them like dead bodies. Nor I could not stay for days to bury all the bodies here. I have had to settle with moving them into the stable. I took for safekeeping all that the bodies had on them and placed their goods in a lockbox in the cellar for their kin if they should venture this way in the years to come. Signed. Brandon Black, formerly of Metrol." At the end on the note, in a different handwriting is the postscript, "Needed the stable for the night. The yard will have to do for them." Underneath that is another postscript in a much scruffier hand, third hand, "Found the cash box. Saved us a bit of work. Ta." In the bottom corner of the note is a warning, "Beware Ghostbeasts!!!" Show DC20 Knowledge (Local) Rumours of ghostbeasts in Metrol wandering the city at night, haven't gotten far beyond a small group of scavengers who have visited the city. These ghostbeasts are described by scavengers as being vaguely humanoid, with hairless, translucent skin. They apparently glow, as with a pale, internal light. Some scavengers believed they are ghosts of slain citizens, others that they are guardian spirits placed by the Cyran royal family to defend the city, and the rest didn't care, just trying to slay them if they crossed paths, for the ghostbeasts slaughtered those they caught out after dark.

FrancisJohn Posted April 11 Clone Share Posted April 11 (edited) ~ Remi Bréagach, Entrepreneur ~ Remi pauses for a moment to ponder the implications of a note warning about Ghostbeasts... "Whatever that means, it can't be good." He gestures towards the basement door. "If we are to squat here for the night, I'd imagine we should investigate the cellar first." A curious grins crosses Remi's face. He goes through the motions of casting his spell of dancing lights, wondering how the Mournland might shape them to ill effect.

fenrirlokison Posted April 14 Clone Share Posted April 14 (edited) Nox |AC: 17 | HP: 62/62 "I'll take a place with people right now over anything else at the moment. I need some flipping alcohol.", Nox groused. If the city ahead was what they were looking for, there was a chance there would be no one there. It occurred to Nox that there was perhaps a chance that there might be some abandoned alcohol. She kept the hope to herself and looked around to orient herself as well as looking for threats. She nods along to Antonio, the half-orc wouldn't be surprised at all if what happened in Cyre was some huge explosion of magic. She couldn't help but wonder maybe they would be better without magic, looked at her warforged arm, and wondered if Mace or any warforged would have been able to be made at all without it. Probably not. She gets a little lost in her thoughts, imaging that without magic people would just make something else that was powerfully destructive. Seeing the inn, she gets a bit hopeful, but seeing the people with the covered faces dampens her hope. Feelings mix as she reads the notes. She felt it was very trusting and foolish of Brandon Black to leave the items and a note indicating where they were. Taking things from the dead gave her mixed feelings in general. They were dead and no longer needed them. She could understand wanting to get them to next of kin of the one who died though, but felt that to be near impossible as well. Better to just take them and sell them. The items had just about as likely chance to end up with the dead's loved ones if not more so that way than by one person looking for them. Her hardened face depends into distaste at the mention of ghostbeasts. "Let's make sure to lock up and maybe put something in the way of the door and windows tonight. Don't know if these ghostbeasts are real, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are. It's said they only come out at night, guess they are nocturnal? Heard they have some sort of internal light, but you see right through them." Undead was one thing, these ghostbeasts honestly creeped her out. What if they are the spirts of the dead? She shook ever so slightly as a chill ran up her spin.

Pausing, Roderick looked over at the bodies laid out, a grimace working its way onto his face before being smoothed away. "I suppose I shouldn't be all that surprised." At Nox's comments, he looked away from the corpses, nodding at the half-orc, trying not to think about what was implied by the phrase 'ghostbeasts'.

I really do not like the thought of fighting something called a ghostbeast. Even magical weapons are of limited use against ghostly things. I think. Actually, I don't really know squat about ghostly beasts. It's not like I've ever fought one or been trained to fight one. Don't even know if holy water would affect them. Or is that just for undead.
