A Game of Commoners I: Thread 2 (IC)

[rweird]

Okay, here is the second thread, continue where you left off.

Links and stuff:
All, please post what you say in bold refrain from writing in colors besides black. (I don't think we have enough colors that are different for that to work.) If you haven't finished your character please try to do so now. Dice rolls will be made using the forum roller. You all know what I posted at the bottom of page 1 on the first recruitment topic.

[Loki_42]

Overhearing Keharn discuss cleaning the gem, Erinar chants a few words of power and performs several complex gestures. He points to the gem and it suddenly becomes clean right before everone's eyes.

OOC:Using prestidigitation to clean the gem.

[rweird]

The gem is deep blue and the center swirls like the current at the base of a waterfall.

Trained Appraise DC 15:
You think it is worth 700 GP.

If you want to appraise untrained, make a roll and I'll tell you how valuable you think it is.

Knowledge (Arcana) DC 15:
This gem is the focus for a ritual that bound a water elemental and something else together, and brought them to this plane.

Knowledge (Arcana) DC 20:
The gem will create another with the right ritual.

Knowledge (The Planes) DC 15:
The other thing summoned was a demon from the abyss. They were bound together in the water elemental's body.

[Eric Scott]

Know. (Arcana): [roll0]

[rweird]

You think it has some magic about it though you don't know what.

[Loki_42]

Appraise(Untrained): [roll0]

Knowledge Arcana: [roll1]

Edit: "I'm not sure what that gem is for, but I'm sure it's important. We should hold onto it."

[rweird]

You think the Gem is worth 600 GP.

[GnomeGninjas]

That's a very pretty gem. What shall you be going to do with it?
Elbone tries to see how valuable it is. Appraise [roll0]

[Loki_42]

"I think we should hold on to it, maybe show it to some of the more skilled arcanists around town. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's important."

[rweird]

Elbone: You think it's worth 1000 GP.

[GnomeGninjas]

It is really valuable if you sell it you could probably buy a house for all the homeless people to live in. Elbone is completely amazed by how valuable it is.

[Loki_42]

"I really think selling it would be a bad idea, at least at this point. I really am sure it's got to be something special."

[Eric Scott]

What do you think would happen if I swallowed it? Probably indigestion, right?

[GnomeGninjas]

Perhaps. Maybe something magical would have though.

[Loki_42]

"I really doubt we should eat it, either. Perhaps I could hold onto it and head back to town, while the more combat ready among us see to this "flame"."

[GnomeGninjas]

Shall I take you to where I found the flame? Elbone will lead the group to the clearing with the flame if the answer is yes.

[Eric Scott]

Well Erinar if you really want to take the chance of being attacked by something and take the gem back to town... I won't try to stop you... also, Elbone I definitely would like to see where you found The Flame... Caunion says handing the gem to Erinar.

[Loki_42]

Taking the gem from Caunion, Erinar will head back to town and search for Galladai.

[GnomeGninjas]

Good luck not being robbed. Elbones says as Erinar walks away. Elbone leads Caunion to the clearing with the flame.

[rweird]

Erinar: You find Galladai sitting on a stumo at the edge of the woods, writing. He doesn't notice you until you are about 10 ft. away. What ho Erinar?

Flame Seekers: You find the flame in the clearing. A humaniod made of air is in the clearing as well. They seem to be shrieking and crackling at each other. They both turn as you approach.

[Loki_42]

"Well, me and my companions found a gem in the spot we were searching. We're not sure what it's for, but it has to be something special. Do you know anyone who could take a look at it, maybe figure out what it's for? I know it's got to have some kind of magic for it, why else would it be in just the spot we looked?"

[rweird]

Erinar: "I new a young wizard, a fine chap, though he's back in the mountains. Maybe the archives has something on it, or there might be a passing through magician. I can't say myself, though whatever it is, it would make a good tale. Once this is all finished you should write it."

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn follows Elbone and Caunion and stops once he see's the air and fire creatures.

"Wait, I think they've seen us. Do you know the man made of air? If he is fighting with the flame perhaps we can make an ally out of him. Either way, what exactly do we need to do to destroy the enemy? Will our regular weapons suffice or shall we need something more powerful?"

[rweird]

If someone is trained in Knowledge (Arcana) you might be able to figure it out.

[GnomeGninjas]

I don't know of the air man. Adressing the air thing he says Good airy humanlike creature, what causes you to crackle so, is the flame doing something to you?

[rweird]

The air thing shrieks and motions for to leave.

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone backs away a few steps.

[rweird]

The air thing motions for you to go further away.

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn moves away with Elbone, but makes sure that he can still see what's going on.

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone backs away to behinds a tree, from there he watches what is going on.

[Loki_42]

"It's what I plan to do. Thank you for your help." Deciding it would be the easiest for now, Erinar heads to the archives to search for information on the gem.

[rweird]

Erinar: The archivist comes out from behind some shelves. What can I help you with? he asks.

[Shazek]

Domas went with the Fire Seekers.

The belligerent half-orc growls in response to the airy being's attempt to shoo him away, and stands defiantly in the clearing.

[rweird]

The Flame blazes angrily at Domas and takes a step closer, hissing.

[Shazek]

Domas draws his Morningstar and stands his ground.

[rweird]

The air thing screeches and retreats out of the clearing were it perches on a branch. The Flame snaps at Domas, sending sparks into the sky as it 'paws' the ground. Its message is clear, leave or die.

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone watches the uncoming battle with horified fasination.

[Loki_42]

Erinar faces the archivist. "Well, I'm searching for any information on the pact made with the spirits, especially regarding the use of a gemstone. Do you know where I could find that?"

[rweird]

Erinar: "Spirit section, back of the archives, to the right, in the D section for Spirits, dealings with."

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn draws his weapon and stands next to Domas.

[rweird]

The Flame glows with agitation, searching to see hoe many others are with the two. Crackling at the wind thing, is flares, as if shooing it, immediately the air thing departs, flying over your heads, skimming the treetops towards town.

[Shazek]

Domas charges at the flame, swinging his weapon wildly.

Rolling initiative and attack here. If the elemental wins initiative and closes, Domas will do a standard attack. If not, then Domas will take a Full-round Action to Charge. If something that prevents charge and standard attack from happening, I'll figure it out then.

Initiative: [roll0]

Attack (With Charge bonus, -2 if charge fails.) [roll1]

Enirnar: Search Check/Knowledge check with +2 bonus if trained.

[Eric Scott]

Caunion will nock his bow take a 5ft step to M2...

[rweird]

Do you attack or anything?

[GnomeGninjas]

Everyone with in 20 ft of me including The flame would have had to make a will save to attack because of my aura of peace DC:11.

Elbone will move to F7.

[rweird]

will save (DC 11), failure means the flame didn't attack: [roll0]

[Eric Scott]

Nope, Caunion doesn't attack... he's just going to back away and only attack if needed.

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn moves to I4 and attacks.

Attack: [roll0]

Damage: [roll1]

[rweird]

Keharn: Will save verses Elbone's aura of peace?

[hobbitkniver]

(Sorry, thought I was outside the effect.)

Will: [roll0]

[rweird]

Keharn Misses the Flame.

[Shazek]

Using the contingency described in the first post of attempting a standard attack without the +2 from the charge. Here's the Will Save needed to attack.

[roll0]

[rweird]

Domas smashes the flame and it falls apart into embers that die.

Each of you gain 150 EXP.

[Shazek]

While the half-orc initially is elated at his victory, he soon becomes disillusioned. "Bah! I'd hoped for an actual challenge. I wonder why it left me alone after it charged. Bad tactics, that."

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone whispers to the spirits The flame is gone, have I done good?

[hobbitkniver]

"That was rather... fast. This is the second time we faced an elemental monste and defeated it more quickly than we expected. Do your wolf friends have any clues as to what should be our next step, Elbone?"

[rweird]

A shimmering spectral wolf and a shimmering spectral deer appear in the clearing. "Where has that air thing gone?" it asks, "I think its one of them, though it isn't tainted, they where allies." It growls.

[hobbitkniver]

They? Do you mean the fire and air creatures? It seemed like they were going to fight before we came. They didn't seem much like allies unless we just happened to catch them while they were arguing.

[GnomeGninjas]

What is the other elemental monste that you defeated?

[rweird]

<Yes, I'm afraid they where, the air creature brought a message in a scroll before you arrived. It seems that they can understand each other somehow.> The dear speaks into your minds directly.

[Loki_42]

What kind of knowledge check would I make, I have ranks in local and history. Can I use one of those?

[hobbitkniver]

"So we've got down fire and water. Let's track down air and earth. Any idea where they might be?"

[rweird]

Erinar: Probably history.

[GnomeGninjas]

Why earth, what has earth done? By water do you mean the grumpy water spirit we found it the creek. Did you slay it?

[hobbitkniver]

"I had assumed there would be an earth spirit to complete the set since we've seen water, fire and air. It may not be like the others, but it's definitely checking out in case it is. As for the water creature, we did slay it. Besides being dangerous to innocents traveling through the forest, that's what the guard captain requested."

[Loki_42]

Knowledge(History): [roll0]

[GnomeGninjas]

I sopose that it is good that you slew the water spirit. The nature spirits say it was like the flame.

[rweird]

Erinar:
There is mention of a gemstone in the story about the Golem that was destroyed at Ironfall Hill, in it there is a curious line about the Golems creation. "A jewel from the dark taken from its brothers, provide demonic drive to the infernal contraption, to serve as a heart for body of infernal steel." Further in the story it mentions the other gems being scattered to the winds at the machines demise and the wind taking one. Where the others came to rest is unknown.

Those that fought the Flame: "We know nothing more of the others, though this is grave news indeed, we shall go now to warn our kin." He says as they fade from view, leaving the four of you alone in the clearing, a few embers smoldering. in the center of the clearing, where the Flame had stood before it approached appears to be a fire circle.

[hobbitkniver]

"Hmm... did the spirits tell you anything that might help us, Elbone? They said that the air and fire were allies, but said it wasn't tainted. Perhaps all four elements were originally peaceful, but something has happened to the flame and water. The air seemed to still be peaceful and we haven't encountered the earth creature yet. It's too bad we couldn't communicate with the air or it might have been able to help us. In any event, we should probably examine this ring of flame that seems to have been left behind by the deceased fire monster. Has anyone seen anything like this before?"

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone likes the spirits are good but 2 of them got corupted explanation. If the air one is still good we might be able to get it to help us. Does anyone have a bird that could help us find the air spirit?

[hobbitkniver]

"You think a bird would know? Maybe we could try to attract one, but even if we did, how would we get it to know what we mean?"

[GnomeGninjas]

There was an orc in the town that comunicated with my friend the wolf. Maybe he could talk to a bird too?

[hobbitkniver]

"Let's head back then."

[rweird]

Flame Slayers: You arrive back at town without incident.

Erinar: Make spot/listen checks.

[hobbitkniver]

"Do you know where we can find him, Elbone?"

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone goes to the house with the tall weeds and knocks.

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn and the other follow Elbone but stand back a bit to let Elbone do the talking since he already knows the orc.

[rweird]

The orc answers the door, he is wearing an apron and the smell of baking bread wafts out the door behind him. "Why hello Elbone, how may I help you?" he asks.

[GnomeGninjas]

Hello sir. I'm wondering if you would help us find the air spirit. Maybe ask a bird for help?

[rweird]

"What is the 'Air Spirit'?" he asks raising an eyebrow.

[GnomeGninjas]

I'm not sure, the spirits say that it isn't corrupted though.

[rweird]

"Could you describe it, I need something to describe to the birds when I speak with them."

[GnomeGninjas]

It looks like a person made out of wind. Elbone turns to the others for help.

[hobbitkniver]

"That's basically all we know. It's a shimmering humanoid figure that looks much like a man, but is made out of air."

[rweird]

"I'll ask the birds what they know." He says and issues a bird call, several birds flap up to him and he begins chirping with them. After a few minutes he stops and they fly away. "They say 'bad wind here, kills birds, lurks under bell, dark wind man come once, bad thing, keep out of his way'. They kept on saying 'bad wind' and 'under bell' after that. Does that help?"

[GnomeGninjas]

So we should check out the bell for the bird killing wind it seems. Elbone doesn't like hearing about the bad wind killing birds because if it is the wind spirit than the wind spirit is evil.

[rweird]

"Good luck," says the orc "and if you have further need of me, I'll be here, though I think the bread may be burning, goodbye." he says turning towards the kitchen.

[hobbitkniver]

"What bell? Did anyone see a bell earlier or know if the town has a belltower? If not, this may be much harder."

[rweird]

Knowledge (Local DC 10):
The archives have a bell at the top.

[GnomeGninjas]

Knowledge:[roll0]

There is a bell in the top of the arcives. Perhaps it is what is being refered to?

[hobbitkniver]

"It's our best bet. Lets head there." Keharn goes to the archives.

[rweird]

You find Erinar in the archives.

[hobbitkniver]

"So, did you find anything out Erinar? We found out quite a bit actually. There's presumable four spirits and each one matches an element. We destroyed the water and also the fire so far and we also encountered the air. The air seemed to be arguing with the fire and seemed to be peaceful, but we fear that the air may have become corrupted by now because the birds fear it. Our theory is that the elements have existed for years peacefully, but are being corrupted or made evil in some way. We have made no contact with Earth so far. Oh, and this is Elbone, he's friends with the spirits and he's working with us as we seem to have similar goals."

[Loki_42]

OOC: Should I still make those checks? Sorry I was away for a while.

IC: "Indeed, I found out a lot too, and what I've found matches with what you said. It seems like the gems were used in the construction of the golem of Ironfall Hill. When it was destroyed, all the gems were scattered, and it seems like the wind took one. I wouldn't be too sure about trusting the wind, but if you think it's peaceful, I guess we could try talking to it."

[hobbitkniver]

"It seemed peaceful, but it wasn't really cooperative either. We'll do whatever it takes. We actually came here to look for the wind because we were told it was under a bell. Let's head up to the bell and see if we can find him."

[rweird]

Erinar, OoC: Yes.

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn goes to the area closest to the bell. (Assuming it isn't blocked off or anything.)

[rweird]

The area closest to the bell is at the center of the archives, a winding stair leads up to the tower itself.

[hobbitkniver]

"Well, lets go quickly in case the wind is moving. I'd like to get to it before it leaves." Keharn starts going up the stairs.

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone follows silently, hoping that they won't have to murder another evil spirit.

[rweird]

You reach the top of the tower. Looking down you see much of the archives spread out before you, though there is no sign of the spirit in the bell tower, several birds flutter away. Make spot checks.

[hobbitkniver]

Spot: [roll0]

[rweird]

Keharn:
You see a figure comprised of air flying between two shelves, holding a book.

[Loki_42]

Erinar will follow along with the others if he doesn't get anything out of these checks.

Spot: [roll0]
Listen: [roll1]

[Eric Scott]

Caunion would have followed the others as well...

Spot: [roll0]

[rweird]

Erinar: You notice nothing unusual.

Caunion:
You see a figure comprised of air flying between two shelves, holding a book.

[hobbitkniver]

"Show yourself spirit! If you are innocent, then you have nothing to fear." Keharn points it out to anyone who didn't see it.

[rweird]

The spirit flies outside of your line of vision, not seeming to hear, of it it did, not to understand.

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn looks around the room to see if the spirit is still there.

Search: [roll0]

[rweird]

So you go back down to search the archives?

[hobbitkniver]

Yes, unless he saw where the spirit flew.

[Eric Scott]

Does anyone else get the feeling that it might possibly be trying to learn something... or in the very least be helping to put books in their proper place... I'm only asking because it has shown no signs of hostility yet, and it would be a shame to force it to such extremes... Caunion says while going down to the general area that he saw the thing.

[rweird]

You see no sign of the spirit by the time you get down in the archives, though considering the shelves are high, and it can fly, meaning that it might be avoiding you, or just moving in a way you miss it, however, you hear hushed voices talking when you near the front of the archives.

[hobbitkniver]

"The birds seemed to think it was a dangerous monster, but perhaps we should not trust the orc? I think he seemed genuine though. Maybe we need to find the spirits that instructed us earlier and seek out the best course of action from them."

[Loki_42]

Erinar will investigate the thing he noticed.

[rweird]

Erinar, OoC: What exactly are you doing? I presume your investigating the spirit, or something in the books, not sure which.

[Loki_42]

Oh, I see what the problem is. I somehow read 'nothing unusual' as 'something unusual'. I'm following Keharn and the others.

[rweird]

Erinar: Okay.

[GnomeGninjas]

Perhaps books could work, alas I cannot read.

[Eric Scott]

Caunion will go towards the voices as quite as he can...

Move Silently: [roll0]

[rweird]

You reach a point near the archive's east wall, close to the front, the voices seem to be below you. Listen to make out what they're saying?

[Eric Scott]

Listen: [roll0]

[rweird]

You can't make out what is being said.

[Eric Scott]

Caunion will inform the others of the voices that he heard but couldn't make out.

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn tries to listen.

Listen: [roll0]

[rweird]

Keharn: You can't make out what is being said.

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone calls out to the voices. What are you speakers of beneath?

[rweird]

The voices fall silent.

[rweird]

People at the archives:

Spot check DC 15:
You see a woman in a hood sneaking towards the main doors.

Spot DC 20:
You see the spirit at the other side of the archives flying towards the you high up holding a heavy book.

Listen DC 15:
You hear the rustle of wind behind you, this is strange because you are in doors.

You may make an additional spot check, DC 20, if you previously got a 20 on your spot check, there is no need to do such.

Spot DC 20:
You see the spirit at the other side of the archives flying towards the you high up holding a heavy book.

[Eric Scott]

Spot: [roll0]

Listen: [roll1]

[Eric Scott]

Well this doesn't look to good... Caunion says noticing the spirit, he then begins moving towards the woman and says, Hello there, my name is Caunion. I'm a member of the city guard. And I would like to tell you that you look somewhat suspicious with sneaking towards the doors while hooded...

[Loki_42]

Listen: [roll0]
Spot: [roll1]

[hobbitkniver]

Listen: [roll0]
Spot: [roll1]

[rweird]

Caunion:
She pauses for a moment before running towards the archive doors. A book in her one hand and something made of metal in the other.

Others at the library: You see the swish of a cloak and the sound of footsteps running towards the archive doors.

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn rushes toward the door.

[rweird]

Everyone giving chase, roll initiative.

Keharn hasn't seen the woman yet, but just ran towards the sound of footsteps. "What happened? Why are they running?"

[GnomeGninjas]

Initiative [roll0]
Spot [roll1]
Listen [roll2]
Elbone will attempt to follow his friends. Since he has a speed of 15 this may be difficult.

[GnomeGninjas]

Aditional spot: [roll0]

[Eric Scott]

Well, there was a woman wearing a hood... all I did was tell her that I was a member of the city guard and that she looked somewhat suspicious... then she ran... all I wanted to do was warn her that you guys tend to jump to conclusions and that she would look less suspicious with the hood down but, I never got a chance... Caunion says sounding ever so slightly depressed.

[rweird]

A whirlwind flies down and a book falls towards Caunion. flies towards you, scattering books and raising a dustcloud some 45 ft. away in the opposite direction of the woman.

Canuion: Make a reflex save, DC 15 or take [roll0] damage from the book hitting you.

Everyone that goes before the woman go now.

If you pursue her (30 ft. to the corner), don't look if you don't:
You see her 40 ft. away at the door, she has it in one hand and is going to open it.

If you go into the dust cloud, don't look if you don't:
You only see dust, you can go forwards, to the left, or to the right, post which one you do.

[GnomeGninjas]

What is the women's initiative. I have no idea who goes first. this post assumes that I do.
Elbone double moves in pursuit of the woman, he only gets to the corner though.

[rweird]

The woman's initiative is 8.

[hobbitkniver]

Keharn chases the woman (I rolled a 20 for init).

[rweird]

Okay, I presume you approach as close as you can.

[Eric Scott]

Reflex: [roll0]

Caunion would also follow the woman... Double moving (40ft movement speed)

[rweird]

The woman opens the door, blocking Caunion (requires two squares of movement to pass) and dashes out of the archives. The whirlwind rises of the ground with more books and begins to rain them upon you (Reflex DC 15 negates each):

Elbone: 1 book that deals [roll0] damage on failed save.
Caunion: 2 books that deal [roll1] and [roll2] damage on a failed save
Keharn: 2 books that deal [roll3] and [roll4] damage on a failed save

It takes a humanoid form at the ceiling of the archives, blowing angrily at you.

Everyone's turn (as far as I know)

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone is hit it the shoulder by a book. It doesn't do much lasting harm but it hurts.
Reflex: [roll0]

[Eric Scott]

Reflex 1: [roll0]

Reflex 2: [roll1]

Caunion is hit in the head... he collapses unconscious (-1HP).

[GnomeGninjas]

When it is his turn Elbone shall stabilize Caunion. [roll0]

[hobbitkniver]

Reflex 1:[roll0]

Reflex 2:[roll1]

Keharn is also knocked unconscious.

[rweird]

The spirit flies out the bell tower and out of sight.

Bleed out/Elbone stabilizing you.

[GnomeGninjas]

If I can take ten I will if not
[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]
[roll6]
[roll7]
[roll8]

I'm starting with Caunion and then Keharn.

[rweird]

Caunion needs four rolls to stabilize, Keharn needs five before Elbone does such to determine how far into negatives you are.

[Eric Scott]

I'm perceiving that as, I am to roll four times to attempt to stabilize... if I interpreted it wrong, disregard...

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]

[rweird]

That is correct, from what I can tell you failed to stabilize on all your rolls. Meaning you'd loose 4 more health before you're stabilized by Elbone.

[hobbitkniver]

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]

[Loki_42]

Erinar rushes to his collapsed friends. "What was that thing? Are you all going to be okay?" He turns to Elbone, "Is there anything I can do? I'm not very good with medicine, but if you need me to do anything, I can try."

[rweird]

Okay, you'd loose another 5 health.

[GnomeGninjas]

Erinar rushes to his collapsed friends. "What was that thing? Are you all going to be okay?" He turns to Elbone, "Is there anything I can do? I'm not very good with medicine, but if you need me to do anything, I can try."

Just try to stop the bleeding. You could use there clothes as makeship bandages.

I'm not sure what we should do. rwierd has all ready calculated how long it takes to fix them.

[rweird]

Erinar: You can make the heal checks as well.

[Loki_42]

OOC: Could I make heal checks as aid another, and maybe get them healed faster? I was just mainly doing this for roleplay and to make sure everyone knew I was still in the game, but I'll try for a mechanical effect.

Erinar kneels next to Elbone, helping him hold the bandages and handing him supplies he needs.

Aid Another Heal checks:
[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]

[rweird]

Okay, in that case Caunion doesn't loose any health, and Keharn just looses 4.

[GnomeGninjas]

What now? We can't just leave 'em here.

[Loki_42]

"I agree, getting help for them has to be our first priority, no matter how much I want to get to the bottom of this. I know I couldn't handle this on my own even if I wanted too. Do you think we'd be able to carry them somewhere, possibly the guardhouse?"

OOC: How much do you guys weigh?

[hobbitkniver]

(115 pounds)

[Eric Scott]

…(125 Lbs)…

[GnomeGninjas]

I'm not strong so I don't think I could carry them well. I'm not fast either so I don't think I could run to guards. Perhaps your could run to get hep and I could guard them? Maybe we just call for help from here?

[rweird]

At that moment the archivist comes running. Looking from the scattered books to the people on the floor he asks "What happened? Are they alright? What should I do?"

[Loki_42]

"They were chasing... something, and it caused some books to fall on their heads. We've patched up the bleeding, but they still need help. I would run to the guards, but alas, my legs aren't what they used to be."

[rweird]

"I'll go get them!" He says and hastily departs.

[Loki_42]

Erinar pulls out his sling. "We should be ready in case one of those spirits comes back."

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone assumes a rather ridiculous looking fighting stance. It seems like he genuinely thinks that it would be an effective position for him to use to defend himself.

[rweird]

The guards and the archivist come rushing. The captain looks around. "You four" he says motioning to four guards, "Bring the unconscious ones to the barracks. You two" he says motioning at Elbone and Erinar, "Tell me what happened, from the beginning."

[Loki_42]

"Well, we've been investigating these gems that we found with spirits, and the others came to meet me here, at the archives. We spotted a woman, who we attempted to talk too, but she ran off when we spoke to her. The others gave pursuit, and these two had books fall onto their heads. The two of us patched them up, but they'll still need time to recover."

[rweird]

"Do you know what dropped the books?" He asks, looking around, concerned.

[Loki_42]

"Some kind of dust cloud. It may have been caused by the woman they were chasing."

[rweird]

"Do you think the dustcloud was a spirit?" the captain asks, concerned.

[Loki_42]

"It could have been. I'm not sure though. I definitely think both the woman and the dustcloud may have had something to do with the spirits."

[rweird]

"Do you have any idea where the woman went? Or the dustcloud for that matter."

[GnomeGninjas]

Nay, sir. I do not.

[Loki_42]

"I believe the woman ran off while we were tending to their wounds."

[rweird]

"I guess we should return to the barracks, tomorrow we could try to find her."

OoC: Are you ready to go to evening phase and then the next day?

[Eric Scott]

Yes, I am ready to die another day...

[Loki_42]

Yeah, I'm ready to move on.

During the evening phase, Erinar will return to the inn, and try to distract himself by practicing his storytelling.

Perform(Oratory): [roll0]

[rweird]

Potatoes...

[rweird]

Everyone gets 200 EXP.

Friday, June 14th, 3983:

The day dawns with a clear sky excepts for a mass of clouds gathered over the forest. There is no wind. People eye the clouds curiously as they gather, though they go about there business.

[Eric Scott]

Caunion will get up and attempt to get back to work, despite his injuries...

[rweird]

People that got to negative HP yesterday: You recover double HP during the night from a healer tending your wounds.

[Loki_42]

Unless anyone comes to get Erinar, he will return to Galladai for a lesson.

[GnomeGninjas]

Elbone will train his wolf.

[rweird]

Erinar: Galladai looks at you with concern when he you approach. "Are you alright?" he asks, "I heard something attacked you in the archives. What happened?"

[Loki_42]

"I am fine, but two of my allies were injured. I helped patch them up. We were researching the gem we found when a chase started with a woman. Somehow a gust of wind appeared and knocked some books on the heads of two of the guards. I don't know what they're plans are, but I'm going to try and lay back for a while."

[rweird]

Erinar: "If you wan to laid back for a while, you should either write or perform about the attack, there isn't much news around here, and people would be interested in some news about it."

[Loki_42]

Yes, that sounds good, the people need to know about what's happening. Erinar will begin working on writing a 15 gp novel about everything that's happened so far.
