Recapture Waterdeep!

[tardisvalkyrie]

you are approached by the three remaining members of the Waterdeep royal family, "we have heard of your accomplishments, and we are here to offer you a chance for glory, gold, slaughter, and target practice, as you probably understand, Waterdeep was take by a goblin/demonic army, and we would like to retake our city, save our people, and beat the demons off, back into the abyss. will you help us?"

[Quakes]

Your city is not far from our own homes. If someone does not repel the demon army, then likely they will spread, and we will be one of their targets.

On a personal note, demons have no place in the natural world. I will assist you in ridding our plane of thwir corrupting presence.

[Stake A Vamp]

i am most certainly in, i like the squeal of dying goblins:amused:

[whovian4life]

it would be an honor to assist you, could you, however, should we recapture the city, i imagine some stations would be available that we would be able to fill, such as weapons master... hmmm:smallwink:

Alav was leaning carelessly against a carriage.

"I assume you have some kind of plan or idea, and the incentive to make it worth our while?"

of course, you have the drow, so skullport is open to you, and we will give you positions of some prestige in our court, and your pick from our personal army, along with the prestige that comes with reclaiming a major city for the forces of good, im sure the church of helm will reward your sacrifice (not meaning your life, but injury and effort, of course) to close the gate to the abyss, we would recommend you reclaim an outlying farm and use that as a rallying point to strike out from, remember, the goblins will probably have looted our armories, feel free to recapture and re purpose those arms and armor.

The dwarf sniffs a bit before answering, "Fine fine fine, what is your latest intelligence? How many goblins? Who rules there now? What sort of resistance are we looking at?"

one of the nobles, the oldest, turns to another and says "i like this one, he has his prioritys straight". he then turns to grunyar and says "we know that the goblins number in the tens of hundreds, and there is about one demon to ten goblins, and that this entire army is controlled by a vrock named ezecraviel, and that few demons leave the keep, as, while they are on this plane via the portal, they die as if they were in the abyss" any other questions, those are the basics.

[shugyosha]

Grunyar

"Five of us against thousands of goblins and hundreds of demons... No great odds..." he looks at the others then asks, "What's a Vrock?"

why would we face them all at once, now five of us, against thirty goblins, those are satisfactory odds she says smirking confidently:smallcool: also, a vrock is a form of vulture-like demon, very destructive, they can fly, the drow often use them against svibnerblin settlements, the end result is rather difficult to describe while in proper company she jerks her head in the direction of the royal family, suffice it to say, it is dangerous

Well, we can't know anything until we start. And very goblin patrol killed is one less for their army. Let's see about retaking some farms, eh?

[tardisvalkyrie]

the nobles turn to you and say "good work, the drow should be able to get you as far as skullport , from there there is a series of tunnels that lead to the surface, from there, farms are scattered every which way"

[Umoon]

Alav straightened his posture and strode around the caravan.

"Well the good news is, if its actually a vrock, it shouldn't be that hard to outmaneuver."

[tardisvalkyrie]

one of the nobles turn to alav and say "you do realize that it can fly...right?"

[Stake A Vamp]

Johysis turns and begins walking toward her house (well, camp in the woods on the outskirts of the village) and shouts back "i'm going to get my stuff, then i will be at the docks, aranging our transport to skullport when you are done asking questions, get over there and fill me in, please get your stuff first." and trots off

[Umoon]

one of the nobles turn to alav and say "you do realize that it can fly...right?"

Alav smiles and responds, "Why, yes of course."

[tardisvalkyrie]

Alav smiles and responds, "Why, yes of course."

one of the nobles smirks and says "then, outmaneuver seems a rather poor choice of words."

[tardisvalkyrie]

(also, could we all edit our first post to include our character sheet at the bottom)

and has anyone got ranks in knowledge (local) or knowledge (nobility)

[shugyosha]

Grunyar

"Does any know what hurt and kill these demons?" he asks.

[Umoon]

Grunyar

"Does any know what hurt and kill these demons?" he asks.

"Cold Iron or a blessed weapon would sting a little more than normal."

Alav turned to the remaining nobles. "How come there hasn't been an attempt to take the city back yet?"

[tardisvalkyrie]

"Cold Iron or a blessed weapon would sting a little more than normal."

Alav turned to the remaining nobles. "How come there hasn't been an attempt to take the city back yet?"

"im afraid there has, the nearby nations attempted this, and were turned back by the horde" they say uneasily "but that was twenty years ago, the time is ripe for another try."

[shugyosha]

Grunyar

"What did that nation send?" the dwarf asks skeptically. "An army or just a scouting party?"

[tardisvalkyrie]

"well, i wouldn't exactly say an army, so much as a large contingent of their forces..." the old man says "besides, you are an elite strike force, not a bunch of blundering commoners recruited right from the farms."

[shugyosha]

Grunyar

"No matter how good we are, its still 5 against thousands, an army would have a better chance. We'll go, but you better find some reinforcements that we can call upon." He looks at the other, "Ready?"

we don't expect you to fight them all, just destroy the portal and assasinate their leaders

He smirks at Grunyar and remarks, "Now that seems up our alley. Let's meet back up at camp and discuss our plan. We'll probably want some kind of reconnaissance to begin with."

With a nod to the noble Alav began walking away.

[shugyosha]

Grunyar

"Yes, but let's meet up with our Drow at the docks. That ones better at being sneaky."

[Umoon]

We arrive at the docks.

[Quakes]

What he said ^

[tardisvalkyrie]

you arrive at the docks to find johanis attempting to skewer a local vagrant, and lanlis trying to talk her down "one more time " the drow yells "i told you last time that if you ever did that again i would skewer you, and then you did it again, ill feed you to the sharks!" and the vagrant yelling "i didn't mean anything by is, honest"

[shugyosha]

Grunyar

The Dwarf sighs then says to the drow, "Quit fooling around and let's go."

[Quakes]

Windfall

Agreed, we have more important considerations than this boy.

To the vagrant he says Run along, and consider this a gift. But you should consider the direction you've taken with your life. clean yourself, and find some honest work. There will be jobs aplenty when the City of Splendors is reclaimed.

[tardisvalkyrie]

the vagrant scampers off, and a man resembling a very unlucky sailor aproaches johonyss, saying "passage to skull-port, with these overlanders with you, this is not easily done, it will require you to trade i two favors, to be specified later" and to the rest of you he says "to the city of splendors eh, well, heed this warning, there are too many to kill on yur own, but remove the leaders, and the goblis will kill eachother over the food"

[shugyosha]

Grunyar

"Good to know," the dwarf says with a nod. Then looks to see if everyone is here.

OCC: Head count.

[Quakes]

We well know the dangers. Just do your job, and you will be rewarded. And we reserve the right to choose your favors at our discretion. Our time is valuable as well.
