Session 3
PCs: Corren, Tim Long, Ham Ton, Ferric
Missiledine: Meanwhile...To recap....
Docportal: I think we are in the town.
Missiledine: You have just taken rooms at the inn, it is almost full dark
Dukejr01: Right. Corren puts his gear away and goes down for beer, food, and beer.
Dukejr01: He tries to get a table where he can put his back to something
Docportal: I am going to bed.
Missiledine: Tim and Ham are sharing a room?
Docportal: Yes
Missiledine: ok
FinLongham: Yes. I think I will also hit the sack.
Missiledine: Its funny, there is a plethora of adventurer/mercenary types in town and all the perimiter tables are full, tho the center has several
open tables
Dukejr01: lol
Dukejr01: <sorry was making coffee>
Dukejr01: Corren grins and takes the center table ostentasciously.
FinLongham: <That sounds good.>
Dukejr01: <Starbucks French roast>
Dukejr01: Corren will try the Brown Ale here. He looks around at the other mercs. familiar faces?
Missiledine: The inn is known as 'The Crossbow' and is the only inn with rooms left
FinLongham: <MMMMmmmmm>
Missiledine: Hmm, maybe.. But none from Ham's crowd of friends
Dukejr01: good thing. If I remember correctly, there were 4 other adventuring groups in the Crow.
FinLongham: Hey I did not doing anythig wrong.
FinLongham: Just lose my robe.
Missiledine: 3 groups, other than yours... that you noticed anyway
Dukejr01: right. Is Rolb down too?
Missiledine: Aye, he's settling into his second round while waiting for his supper
Dukejr01: Corren compares the Brown here. then tries another kind.
Dukejr01: Corren sizes up the competition. were there any other bars in town?
Missiledine: The common room is now pretty full, between local customers and all the obvious outsiders....
Missiledine: Several taverns and another inn
Dukejr01: okay.
Missiledine: Looking around the room you would guess that there are forty, maybe forty two obvious fighter types present, none of whom look,
'Local'
Dukejr01: lol. this is a fun easter hunt
Missiledine: At the moment you and Rolb are holding down the last table with any empty chairs
Docportal: <I am in bed right? My little sister just try to cook some jars with suger in them and they blew up and I have to clean up.>
Missiledine: You notice one man, in armor like all the others, having talked to the inn keeper, now looking around for a seat
Dukejr01: <waiting for Ty's charactor to conveniently need a table... :-D>
Missiledine: <Yes, you are asleep... go help>
ElwingFD: wow, I just follow the plot hook right to the table
Dukejr01: Corren drinks....
Dukejr01: <lol>
Missiledine: <I love realing in a big fat PC!>
Missiledine: reeling
Missiledine: <Now to gut him, clean him and cook him up!>
Dukejr01: Corren looks over his would-be tablemate
ElwingFD: "is this seat taken?"
Missiledine: He appears to be in his 20's, with black hair and leather armor and a hooded cloak
Missiledine: about 5'10"
Dukejr01: Corren looks around at the other occupied tables... "Why not?"
Missiledine: "Nah, sit yerself... Are ye in town fer the convention?" One man asks
ElwingFD: I sit down ...um why am I here?
Missiledine: <To get rich?>
ElwingFD: yeah, but how can I get rich here, I never got the storyline
Missiledine: oh... sorry, wrong address again
Dukejr01: A merchant's son has been kidnapped. there is a 20k reward
ElwingFD: ah..find a brat get a check
Missiledine: <Info on the way>
Dukejr01: "Corren"
ElwingFD: so what is this convention?
Missiledine: <All the other reward seekers>
Dukejr01: "Everyone who wants a piece of the reward, I expect."
Dukejr01: Is the food any good? Corren also checks what the new guy has for weapons.
Missiledine: "I'm Rolb," The older man introduces himself. "What's yer name?"
ElwingFD: "Ferric", as he looks to order his meal
Missiledine: <The only weapon you see is a staff.>
Dukejr01: k.
Missiledine: The food is quite good and the service is prompt, surprising considering the number of customers
Missiledine: "So,"Asks Rolb. "Are ye here to find the wee little lost bairn? "
Dukejr01: "How old is this kid, anyway?"
ElwingFD: "maybe....the money seems right.."
Dukejr01: "All by yourself?"
Missiledine: The boy, Paldar Junuk is 14.
Dukejr01: <doing my part to get this over?
Dukejr01: >
FinLongham: I Well come out of the coset now. And join Rolb and Corren at the table
ElwingFD: Ferric turns to Corren, "if necessary"
Missiledine: ok
Dukejr01: "Good luck with that. Sleep will be a premium."
Missiledine: <You will have to search around for a chair>
Dukejr01: WE only have three at our table?
Missiledine: "Aye, its always better ta have some help."
Missiledine: <People have snagged them to other tables>
Dukejr01: I see.
FinLongham: I look around for a chair.
Missiledine: It will take a minute, but you find one
Missiledine: Rolb says, "Ferrick, this is Ham Ton"
Missiledine: As the other guy drags up a chair
ElwingFD: Ferric nods
Missiledine: "There is one more of our party off gettin his beauty rest."
Dukejr01: Corren chuckles.
Missiledine: "So, er, Ferric. What is your line? Sell sword, wizard, Druid, troublemaker?"
FinLongham: <This is confusing. I know Corren and Tim, Who was the other play last week?>
ElwingFD: Ferric smiles..."I do like the troublemaker moniker"
Missiledine: <There was no other player last week, other than Doc>
Missiledine: Rolb is the NPC
Dukejr01: Da merc
Missiledine: "Aye, well we all fall into that category a bit!" Rolb laughs
FinLongham: <Oh ok. I thought you were playing Elwing charater.>
Dukejr01: "Some more often than others."
Missiledine: <No... Elwing is Ferric>
ElwingFD: besides, Elwing is a fairy dragon :-)
Missiledine: <A fairy...what?>
Dukejr01: I wouldn't want to meet a poofter dragon
ElwingFD: oh come on Mr. I've memorized the Monster Manual
Missiledine: <...in drag?>
Missiledine: <LOL>
Dukejr01: Corren drowns his sorrows in another beer,
Missiledine: "Well then, as one troublemaker to another, why don't ya throw in with us?"
Dukejr01: <cuts to the chase>
Dukejr01: "I want to know what good he will be first, eh?"
ElwingFD: another side effect of the plot hook
Missiledine: "We've agreed to an equal split, after expenses, with shares being forwarded to our next of kin as it wewre."
Missiledine: were
Dukejr01: Corren nods. "make a list"
FinLongham: "Hello Ferric, I am a Druid/Mage. Yes, join us.."
Dukejr01: lol
ElwingFD: Hey Fin...don't I know your brothers Fingolfin, Finrod, and Finerfin? :-)
FinLongham: Nope.
ElwingFD: Ferric thinks for a moment..."hmmm....it may be a prudent idea, but really..splitting shares for those not capable of staying alive?"
Missiledine: "Would you rather have yer throat slit for your share?"
ElwingFD: uh, guess he's not a LOTR fan
Dukejr01: "Tends to cut down on "buddies" putting a knife in another's back for fewer shares" Corren agrees
FinLongham: "Yes, we don't want that going on."
ElwingFD: Ferric grins "are you saying that you don't trust your fellow adventurers?"
Dukejr01: Corren looks at Rolb "My friend is smarter than your average bear"
Missiledine: "Considering that no one really knows each other all that well."
Dukejr01: "I trust Rolb. You... I just met."
Missiledine: "So, what do ye say?"
Dukejr01: <lets get going already!>
FinLongham: <Yes>
ElwingFD: "my philosophy is if you cant keep yourself alive, you (or your relatives) don't deserve the money. I have to wonder why you would come to a
conclusion of getting a knife in your back?"
Missiledine: "And I wonder why you would be willing to trust complete strangers on a matter of that much gold?"\
ElwingFD: "I trust my abilities"
Missiledine: "Ah, so you dunno have to sleep or eat or take a shit?"
Dukejr01: "That would be handy"
FinLongham: "Yes handy."
ElwingFD: Ferric thinks.."well truth be told, I feel less trustfull of you with this arangement than without....seems you don't even trust yourself"
Dukejr01: Corren looks at Rolb. Shrugs.
Dukejr01: "Suit yourself. Good luck to you."
FinLongham: "Well we may not trust one another but we are willing to work together."
Missiledine: Rolb drinks his drink
Dukejr01: Corren's attention returns to his food.
FinLongham: I look around, make sure the my 'freinds' don't show up.
Missiledine: You don't see any of them present... maybe the other inn
Dukejr01: :-) I wouldn;'t worry too much. Unless the use "Seeker"
Dukejr01: <sorry, for got to bracket that<> >
FinLongham: I will stay put. I look around for anyother group that looks out of place.
Dukejr01: "Should we check out the other establishments?"
Missiledine: The room is full of 'out of place people, at least forty of them without counting yourselves
Missiledine: Rolb shrugs, "Go ahead if you want... I dunno see the point myself."
FinLongham: "No, I just think we sould stay here. For now."
Docportal: <Can I come out and play?> I come out and try to find a chair
Missiledine: "Ah, sleeping beauty awakes! Have a nice nap?"
Dukejr01: Corren finishes his beer. "Back before long, I expect" He gets up and goes to the ither inn.
Docportal: Yes, I am ready to go find this boy.
Docportal: "Oh forget that it is still dark."
Docportal: "So anything happen this time?"
FinLongham: "Nope, I stay out of trouble."
ElwingFD: Ferric finishes his meal and gets up to leave...
Missiledine: "Ah, Tim Long, this is Ferric." Rolb introduces the stranger at the table
FinLongham: "So are you in or out Ferric?"
ElwingFD: "good day to you all"
Docportal: "Hello Ferric."
ElwingFD: Ferric nods as he walks away
Missiledine: "well, I wonder what he does?" Rolb says as he sips his drink
Docportal: "Hey Ham, you want to find some trouble?"
FinLongham: "What do you mean Tim?"
Dukejr01: Let me know when corren arrives at hte inn
Dukejr01: other inn
Docportal: "Lets go find that group from last night."
Missiledine: Well, you are finishing yor drink, in preperation of leaving, when all of thge sudden you feel a searing pain on your right leg! Looking
down you discover that your chair's leg is on fire!
Missiledine: (Corren that is)
Dukejr01: Corren stands up. picks the chair up and holds it off the floor. "Well now. how rude"
Dukejr01: how big a afire? enough to douse with beer?
Missiledine: Your britches are smoldering
Missiledine: yeah, a pint would do it
FinLongham: I cast creat water and put the fire out.
Dukejr01: Corren douses it with beer.
Dukejr01: HE sees the mage creating water. and says. "Great." and stops wasting beer,
Missiledine: The room is laughing as you stand there smoking and now wet from all the water that materialized
Dukejr01: Corren makes sure his leg is not on fire.
Dukejr01: He takes a bow. "Thank you."
Docportal: "That was fun any more things go wrong?"
Missiledine: the water took care of it, and pretty well soaked you from the waist down
FinLongham: "You are welcome."
Dukejr01: Corren sighs. "Seems I wet myself. Pardon me."
Dukejr01: Corren goes and changes his pants.
FinLongham: I look around to see if my 'friends' have showed up.
Missiledine: No, you dont see anyone
FinLongham: "Lets wait untill corren get back from changing. Then we three can go look for trouble. Tim"
Docportal: "Sounds great to me."
Docportal: Tell us when corren comes back.
Missiledine: Corren returns a few minutes later, wearing armor
Dukejr01: Corren sits. "These are dry."
Missiledine: Rolb laughs
Docportal: <That a point am I were my armor?>
Dukejr01: Any serious damage to the chair?
Missiledine: since you just got up, not likely
Missiledine: No, its still serviceable, a bit scorched tho
Dukejr01: Corren goes to apologise to the bartender.
FinLongham: "Corren would you like to go look for trouble with Tim and Me?"
Missiledine: He laughs and waves it off
Dukejr01: Corren nods thanks.
Dukejr01: "WEll, I want an early start tomorrow, and I am still feeling my late night last night. I was planning on going to the other in to see what was what there.
Probably stay for only one beer. Interested?
Docportal: "Yeah we come but we will leave the beer."
Dukejr01: Back in one beer. Rolb
Docportal: "I want to find the 4 poeple that took Ham robe from him."
FinLongham: "That would be nice to get back."
Dukejr01: "Oh, that. Might want to let that one go."
Docportal: "But it would put one group out of the way. If we take all there stuff."
Dukejr01: Corren looks puzzled. "That would be illegal unless they attacked us or committed a crime. Not to mention dishonorable."
Docportal: "Who said anything about being Honorable?"
FinLongham: "I am with Tim."
Dukejr01: "And I am not going to fight somebody over a piece of cloth. I am sorry you lost it, maybe if you talk to them again, you could laugh it off and tell them
you were just trying to learn more about the reward and such. no different than everybody else."
FinLongham: I could give that a shoot but only you are there to take them on. Untill me and Tim can cast.
FinLongham: "If there start a fight."
Docportal: <Yo host are we there yet?>
Missiledine: Waiting to see if everyone really was going... the inn isn't very far. It's named 'The Green Goat"
Missiledine: From the sounds of music and laughter there is clearly a party in full swing!
Missiledine: Going in you find that the common room is as crowded here as at the last inn... But the bulk of the fighter types seem to have their
attention centered on a well dressed older man who has a serving wench on his knee and is teasing her to much laughter
Dukejr01: "I suggest asking politely. If they say No, then let it rest. Fortunes of war and all that. WE have better thngs to do than get wounded fighting some men in
the same line of work we are in. possession is 9/10ths of the law. I am afraid you have ittle recorse in recovering it than asking politely.
Dukejr01: Great. Corren bellies up to the bar.
Missiledine: Ham, looking around you see at one table, your group of 'friends' from last night
Missiledine: they seem to be talking quietly amongst themselves
FinLongham: Ok backup, less get this over with.
FinLongham: I walk over to they table.
Dukejr01: "Just go talk to them. They won't attack you."
Docportal: I stay with ham.
Dukejr01: "I will keep an eye on you. I will not let them twist your arm behind your back and walk outside.
Dukejr01: what do the "friends" look like anyway?
FinLongham: "Can I join you all for a little?"
Missiledine: As you step up to the table, their attention centers on you... The one who you were unable to place last night looks at you with a frown
Missiledine: "Do we know you..." He asks
FinLongham: "In a way."
Missiledine: "Ahh, turn around please."
FinLongham: I do a 360.
Missiledine: "Yes, I remember you." The others nod in agreement
FinLongham: "Now befor you get mad or anything. I would like to say I am sorry for last night.I also would like my robe return. Pleas."
Missiledine: There are three fighter types, all in chainmail with swords or axes. One of these is a fairly attractive woman. One man is, you would judge from his robes and lack of large amounts of steel, to be a mage. The one talkin is hard to judge, he waers leather armor and has a shortsword and daggar on his belt
Docportal: I try to remeber they faces for later.
Missiledine: ok, the man says, "Your robe? That's back in Drunmore, keeping some beggar warm I'm sure."... no
Missiledine: all present, at least in body
Docportal: <I only see 5 people on my list. I thought there were 6>
Dukejr01: olb is an NPC
Dukejr01: olb
Dukejr01: Rolb. :-)
FinLongham: "Well I would like to explan last night to you but you can guess what I was doing."
Missiledine: "Spying." He says flatly
Missiledine: "Or trying to steal something." Says the woman
FinLongham: "I am looking for infromation, not items yet."
FinLongham: "You seem to know where this boy is. So how about you tell me something more. to pay for the robe."
Missiledine: One of the fighters was taking a drink, he snorts and chokes at that..."Pay you!? Hah!" The other man waves him to silence. "You think we owe you something?"
Dukejr01: What can Corren see from where he is?
Missiledine: They are just talking
Dukejr01: k
Dukejr01: Corren splits his attention. he keeps one eye on them while he watches the floor show
FinLongham: "At most I got only part of the conversation. Nowere close to $20."
Missiledine: Everyone at the table begins laughing, "Oh! That's a good one!" The man says. "You are going to charge by the word!"
FinLongham: "That what my pice is. By the word."
Docportal: "Ok Ham, That is enought. We don't need a fight on our hands. Lets go."
Missiledine: "Here's a couple words to add to the tab... Bugger off!"
Missiledine: "Ya best listen to your friend, spy. Go away before ya get hurt!" Sneers one of the fighters
FinLongham: "Let me correct your grammar. Sir, It is Bug Off!"
Missiledine: "Nah ya fool, to bugger has nothin to do with bugs." Says the mage
Dukejr01: Can Corren see a heated exchange?
Missiledine: "It has more to do with your anatomy." He finishes
Missiledine: <Uhmm, yes, things seem to be warming up a bit>
Dukejr01: Corren finishes up his beer and strolls over. he stops a couple paces away.
FinLongham: "Well you know you are the Bugs."
Missiledine: The group exchanges puzzled glances. "I think we've been insulted." Says the leader.
Missiledine: "I'm not sure." Says the woman, "But lets kick his ass anyway."
Dukejr01: is corren there for that?
Missiledine: <He hears it>
Docportal: I back up a little ready myself.
FinLongham: I stand up and ready to deffend myself
Missiledine: "Oh, does your friend want some too?" Asks the other fighter as he stands up... "The more the merrier!"
Missiledine: They are all getting to their feet, the mage is backing off a bit
Dukejr01: Corren Looks a bit perplexed. at the exchange. Rolls his eyes. when the woman says "kick his ass anyway." He stifles a laugh.
Dukejr01: "Excuse me." Corren says.
Missiledine: "What? Another one? They need to smoke this place to clear the nits."
Dukejr01: He steps up to Ham. "I suggest that you apologise."
FinLongham: For WHAT?
Missiledine: "Oh don't make him do that! I want to send him home with his teeth in a cup!" The fighter growls
FinLongham: "These Bugs, insulted me."
Dukejr01: Corren sighs. "Well, first. there are more of them. Second. I have already told you that I am not going to fight over some piece of cloth. I suggested that you ask nicely, and if they said "No" that you drop it. Okay?"
Missiledine: "That tore it! He called us bugs again!" Growls the fighter. The third fighter, who hasn't said anything yet, says "I don't get it? Why bugs?"
Dukejr01: "Bugs? what kind of an insult is that?"
Dukejr01: Corren exchanges a grin with that third guy
Missiledine: He seems a bit slow on the uptake, but seems to make up for it with lots and lots of muscles..
Dukejr01: Guys like that are nice to have around.
Docportal: On our side maybe.
FinLongham: "They called me a Bugger."
Dukejr01: <snort>
Missiledine: "Enough of this!" Growls the leader. "Either apologize nicely or prepare to taste my boot going down your throat!"
Dukejr01: Corren sighs exasperately. "I will explain "Bugger" later. Understand something. If you are going to start a fight over every insult, you had better be able to back it up."
FinLongham: "How about this I buy you and beer for this miss understand. And then we could talk about this boy."
Dukejr01: Corren blinks.
Missiledine: "We have nothing to talk about with you!" The man replies through gritted teeth
FinLongham: At lest let me get you a beer or something. I would be willing to trade information with you.
Dukejr01: Corren sighs and goes back to the bar.
Missiledine: By now the tables around you have grown quiet and everyone is watching expectently
Docportal: "Maybe you should give them a beer. Leave them alone."
Missiledine: You hear a voice say, "I've got five that says they'll turn him into dogmeat before I can count ten!"
Docportal: "Or say something nice."
ElwingFD: you have lovely eyes
Missiledine: <LOL>
Dukejr01: <that was funny>
Docportal: <yes>
Missiledine: <Still LOL>
FinLongham: "If I apologize you do you want a beer?"
Missiledine: They all look at each other for a moment, "Err, yeah. Beer all around and then we get to see your back again as you leave."
FinLongham: "Ok fair enought I guess. I am Sorry for what has been said". Then looking at the Mage, "You have lovely eyes."
FinLongham: "Barkeep Beer for this table on me."
ElwingFD: just don't bugger him :-)
Dukejr01: <lol>
Missiledine: The room around the table is laughing now... The mage growls something but his companions start to laugh at him
Missiledine: "Get out of here!" Laughs the leader, "before your turned into something unnatural!"
Docportal: I stand down and go to where corren
Missiledine: The bartender sends over a tray of beer
FinLongham: "Good Day to yall." I go to over to Tim and Corren.
Dukejr01: Corren just shakes his head.
Dukejr01: Stares into his beer.
Missiledine: They all sit down again, talking amongst themselves and laughing at their mage.
Docportal: Corren Pick this guy up so he will behave. and lets go.
Dukejr01: Corren looks regretfully at his beer.
FinLongham: "Now look here you will not have him carring me out of this place."
Dukejr01: Corren shrugs. "Okay"
Dukejr01: Beer is good
Missiledine: <Ok guys, I'm sorry AIM cut so much out of tonight, but I need to close up here. I have an early day tomorrow and a dog that wants out>
FinLongham: "I am the spy of this group. I will do as I pleas."
Dukejr01: k.
Missiledine: lol
Docportal: <K>
ElwingFD: I just want to know if the mage spoke with a lisp :-)
Docportal: Corren get him before we get in real trouble.
Dukejr01: "Lets go hitthe rack."
Missiledine: save it for next time!
Dukejr01: Corren puts word to action
