Save a Pinky Princess

[Klern]

It's a beautiful day for Jeremy Delcarte, a little red hair kid who play outside. His lizard run after him and jump on the little bag of his master. The little wizard turn on him to benefied of all ray of the sun. He goes to the library and take some book and put them on his bagage. He returnes outside, smile and sniff some fresh air. He plays a little with Goo, his familiar, and laugh a lot. When he want to comeback to his orphanage he saw a group of people walking in the street and they go to the castle. In that mass, he say a familiar face, Sparrow the friendly Bard. He run after him and scream. "He-oh! Sparrow!" He fall on the ground when he want to come near of his ''old friend".

Two hours ago, Sparrow, Nate, Kroatan, Helena, Kargin and a druid reseve a message of the King of Elizabeth City. In that letter, the monarch writtes he need their help for save his dother, the princess Elizabeth, and he want to see them after the midday. When the sun was high in the sky, the six aventurers walk to the castle, until they see a kid who call Sparrow.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

After the palace guard delivered the King's request to Sparrow, he escorted him to Elizabetha Square where he met a handful of other persons, each similarly surprised that they had been summoned by the King. He had only just made their acquaintance and begun walking with them toward the palace when he heard the familiar voice of Jeremy, one of the boys from the orphanage.

"Pardon me for a moment folks."

"Jeremy, are you alright?" Sparrow jogs towards the lad.

[Klern]

Jeremy smile and get up. "Yup!" He said with joy. "Sparrow? What are you here? Your look for someone? You want to see me? You want to visit the great and gentel king and Elizabeth? You want to see my nurse, Barbara? You want to teach me some trick? You want to play a song to me? You want to make some new friend? You want to help someone? Oh-oh! You here for play with my little and awsome lizard, Goo? You here for pray Pelor? You want to visit the library and read some book? Or you have a gift for my birthday?" He jump on place and smile, he look to much exited.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

"Sorry Jeremy, I can't talk now, but I'll come talk to you at the orphanage later." Assure that the boy was alright, he turns and walks back to the group.

[#Raptor]

Wandering along with the others, Kroatan thinks about the invitation from the king.

'I wonder what happend to the kings daughter... hmmm. I have no idea how he even knows about me, perhaps he had one of his servants regulary buying some of the raw meat i sell sometimes... '

Just in that moment, Sparrow tells him and the rest of the group to wait and sees him jogging off.

As he looks after Sparrow he sees him talking to a little redhaired boy. Or rather, the little boy talking very fast to sparrow while apparently being quite excited.

"Ah, i guess Sparrow is talking to one of the orphans. You know, he regulary tells them storys and stuff and... well, anyways - I'll see what this is about. Just wait here for a moment."

Leaving his donkey with the rest of the group, he slowly walks towards Sparrow and the boy, but then he already notices sparrow turning arround and walking back to the group. As they walk together, he asks Sparrow:

"One of the kids from the orphanage, mmh? What did he ask you?"

OOC:
Kroatan didn't overhear everything, he just noticed the little boy asking ALOT of questions.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

"He was just saying hi, wanted to know what we were doing. I told him I'll talk to him later - I sing for the kids at the orphanage fairly regularly."

[#Raptor]

"Oh, ok. I guess it's better that way, we probably shouldn't be late when we meet the King. I've just been thinking - do you have any idea what could have happend to the kings daughter?"

[Bonecrusher Doc]

As they rejoin the group, Sparrow says,
"I didn't even know the princess was missing, and I don't believe my little friend back there did either. It makes sense, though, that the King would want to keep that information quiet. And though I don't know the stories of you good people yet, I can assure you I have no idea why the King would summon me. Why not leave the matter to the royal troops? Do any of you know any more details?

[#Raptor]

"No, not at all... not that I'd know much about the royal familiy. To be honest, I haven't even ever seen the King. Did you?"

[Bonecrusher Doc]

"I've only seen him from a long distance off when he goes in or out of the palace gates. How about the rest of you folks? Why do you suppose you were chosen for the king's confidence in this matter?"

[Tacitus]

Kargin Runethane

To say that Kargin walked along in silence would be a blatant lie unlike any that one could ever be told without somehow breaking a Zone of Truth a couple miles away. While it was true he didn't say much thanks to a limited vocabulary he made enough noise with all the clanging of his armor that a deaf man could pinpoint him from a mile away. When addressed by Sparrow he glanced towards the bard through his visored helm, "I don't know. I'm a healer. I fix people. Maybe he thinks she needs me to heal her when we find her? Morenlikely he wants me to keep you all fixed so you guys can find her that much faster."

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

"Heh, actually you look more like a steelfortress on legs to me today, Kargin." The half-orc says, grinning slightly towards Kargin in a joking way "But perhaps it wasn't a bad idea to pack alot of armor... we really don't know what the king needs us for."

"Oh and another thing... maybe lets take the litte boy from before with us? Im sure he'd love to see the royal palace. I sure would have, at his age."

Looking over his shoulder, he shouts towards the boy "Hey little guy! Come along!"

[Bonecrusher Doc]

"I suppose it was rude for him to brush him off like that so quickly, but just tell him for now that we don't know exactly why the king wants to see us (which is truthful enough). I don't think the king would be pleased with us if we told his private concerns to an uninvited schoolboy."

"Jeremy, would you like to walk with us to the palace?"

[Klern]

Jeremy heards the voice of the half-orc and turn his self quickly, by fear. Imediatly, he heards the voice of Sparrow. "You really want... I can go with you?'' He saids with a giant smile on his face.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

"Yes, of course! Just remember you will have to leave if the guards ask you to."

[Klern]

The little kid jumps on place and screams, he looks very exited. "Oh! Thank you! Thank you! I'm so happy! Oh! Oh! Can I go see Barbara, my nurse. She was inside the castle or with the king. She probably helps the servant or cooks some food. Oh! I want to see Elizabeth to! She want to see me two week ago, she tell me she have important thing to tell me. Oh! I want to see the King to! I have a little request." He smile and continues to jump on place. He look his bard friend and jump on his hand. "Oh! Thank you! I can nerver thank you to much!" The lizard goes on the head on his master and he smile to the bard...

[Bonecrusher Doc]

"Let's go."

[Klern]

Jeremy run in front the guard and saies a little: ''Hi!'' And he past the entrance and wait his friend with a great little kid smile. ''Hihi! I'm think I'm a little exited.'' He laugh and smile again.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

Not having noticed the palace yet, Kroatan looks confused at Jeremy: "Huh? You know the king?" He looks at him with disbelief.

Taking a short look at the guard, he says: "Hello, the king wanted to see us."

He shows him the invitation, holding it in a way that the guard can't read the part about the kings missing daughter. "Or at least it says so, on this letter. May we pass?"

[Klern]

The guard with his shyning silver armor tooks the letter, reads it quickly and look the half-orc. "You can pass, Jeremy can guide you to the king, right kid?" He turns his serious face on the little mage and his lizard, they two smile. "Yup! We are ready for meet the king with them." He laughs and smile to the half-orc. "And yes, my dear new friend, I know the king, because he and his daughter came to see Barbara some time and Elizabeth plays with me so many time." He laugh again and look everybody face. "So! We have to see the king righ!" Jeremy does a wink to the people and go in front of the door for open hit.

The guard take the arm of Kroatan and says: "Don't be suprise bye this kids, ok? He lost his family some years ago and... Nevermind. Just take a look on this kid for me. I promise him to protect him in the city. If you have to go with him... He stop to talking and take a look behind him for see if Jeremy was already here. He takes his serious face again. "Anyway... Just have a nice audience with the king." He turn off and he never say a another word.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

Walking next to Kargin, he says:
"Can't say i would have expected that. But it really looks like the king is a nice person... i don't think most kings talk to regular orphans."

OOC:
Erm, about the letter part... i guess since my character can't read (singleclassed barbarians are illiterate) he guessed where it says anything about the princess being missing and got lucky - or somebody read it to him before, and has been showing him, kinda "see? Thats the part where it says he wants you to save the king". Well, that or he completly failed at hiding it, and the guard already knew about the princess.

[Klern]

The guard smiles a little bit. "Yes... Or king was brave and gentle. He's the most friendly king we never had." He turns off again and staies on his function.

[The_Shaman]

((Ok, let me know if Kothrag should be with you or you go to pick him up later))

[Klern]

Yes he was!

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

A tall-ish, slightly unkempt dwarf is walking around near the back, watching at some of the architectural ornaments. It's so gaudy, it is, why do they do it like that he says quietly, mumbling to himself. He paid little attention to the child, but spares the guard's armor and weapons a few look before nodding and continuing on his way.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sparrow hums quietly to himself, betraying perhaps of touch of nervousness. Despite his experience in entertaining crowds of people, he has never been around nobility before and is not quite sure how to act, especially considering the carefree way he usually behaves.

[Klern]

The aventurers enter the giant castle, Jeremy wait them inside. ''Everyone was ready?'' He laugh before continues to talk. ''Seriously, I guid you in the castle all the way to the king. He very nice, so you don't have to be nervouss, ok? Alright! Fallow me!'' Tke little kid start to go the stairway and wait the little group in front of the door. ''Behind that door, it's the audience room. The king was probably waiting for you. I leave you here, I have something to do. Byebye!'' He start to run to the left side.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sparrow quietly says to his companions, "I only knew young Jeremy as one of the boys who liked to sit and listen to my songs at the orphanage. I had no idea he had friends in high places! Shall we go in?

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

Unused to such noble surroundings, Kroatan looks arround in the castle, he's almost looking overwhelmed with this new impression.

As he hears sparrow talk, he answers "Yes..." then he stops again for a couple of secounds, apparently being distracted by the interior.

Suddenly realizing what sparrow just said, he nervously follows up with "Wait, what did you just say?" "Go in there? Right now? Maybe we should.. i don't know, pick somebody who does most of the talking?"

"Hey dwarf, whats your name again, Kothrag wasn't it? Don't you dwarfes know alot about kings?"


OOC:
Perhaps something about the general LG-Fighter Knightish image of dwarfes made Kroatan think dwarf = good with nobility. :smallwink:

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

The dwarf had at that point used the free moment to take out a piece of parchment with writing on it that looks like their typical script, and mutters something as it studies it. At the sound of Kroatan's voice, he jerks upward, and blinks at the man as he considers the question.

Yes, Kothrag. I'd appreciate it if you used it; not "dwarf." Do I look so short to you? If anything, gnomes should be called "dwarves" - barely more than a yard - our yards, that is. Really, now...

Er, what, the king? I'd presume he's in charge of the mining operations, deciding the trade policies, the merchant routes, equipping the militia, dispensing justice when the priests are too busy, seeing dignitaries... You know, the kind of things kings do. I presume that's what your kings do too, right?

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

Looking surprised and not being quite sure what to respond to the dwarfs rant about gnomes and dwarfes, he decides to only answer to the statement about kings and theyr dutys. Scratching his chin, he says:
"Uh... well, technically my people do not have a king, sure, some of us do life in a kingdom, but others decide to refer to theyr orcish side and join a clan, but those only have a tribe lea.."

He stops, overthinking what Kothrag must have meant. "Wait, you mean the king of Elizabetha? I dont know, but i guess you are right. But what i meant to say was... do you have any experience speaking with nobles? Or anybody else here?"

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sparrow

"Ah, sorry to interrupt, but even though I said I don't know much about these things, young Jeremy did say the King was probably waiting... Sparrow looks to the guard who makes no move to announce them or open the door for them... And I'm sure Kings don't like to be kept waiting. At any rate, a bard needn't have any fear of looking the fool! Sparrow assumes a confident posture, straightens his garments, and boldly pushes his way through the double doors.

[Klern]

When Sparrow enter the audience room, the little group saw someone with a purple robe who painting a sky blue flower in a green vase. He drop off his paintbrush on his easel and stop his paint. The stranger saws the bard in the front of the group and smile him. ''Hi, who are you and what can I do for you stranger?''

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sparrow bows his head but keeps his back straight, not sure if this is the real McCoy or not...
"Begging your pardon, we have been summoned for a royal audience. I can not speak for my companions, but I am Sparrow, a bard of this fair city."

[Klern]

The man smiles and laughs. ''Oh! My pardon sir. I sommun you and I don't remenber you face sorry, Sparrow. I saw you a lot pf time when you play some music on the orphanage.'' He goes on the golden chair in the center of the room and sits here. He takes a serious face before to continues to talk. ''So... You probably want to know, what I demand you to come here? I tell you... My beautiful and charming daughter was be kidnap a few wwek ago... He stops to talk for calm his emotion, before tear attacks his eyes.

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

The dwarf has gone in hesitantly after the others, and seems to be quite interested in the person in the room. He looks at him quite calmly until the man basically says that he is the one who called for them, and then he blinks with disbelief. He studies the man for a second, before murmuring to his nearest companion. Er... Is he the king? I, er, didn't imagine him like that.

[Klern]

The king laugh when he heards the comment and smile to Kothrag. ''Yes, I'm the king of this city. I know, I don't like formalities so, every time a have some guest, I a little... friendly with them.'' He laughs again.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

"Um...How may we be of service, your majesty?

[Klern]

The king turns to Sparrow. ''Well, I heard a rumor of the location where my daugther dissapears... I'm sorry to demand you your help, but can you looks from her? I can go by myself because I have to protect my kingdom and I don't want to inform the population of the disapperance of Elizabeth...'' He stops to talk and wait the reaction of the other.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

Reliefed that the king really is as nice as he was told, the half-orc slowly regains his confidence.

"So, you contacted us because you don't want the city guard to know about the disapearance of your daughter?"

[Klern]

He smiles to the half-orc and anwser him with his calm voice. ''That right. If I demand to the guard to do that... The villagers will interogate about what happend here and I don't want to scare them.''

[Bonecrusher Doc]

"Where do you suggest we start looking, your Majesty?

[Klern]

''I think you can go to the gaveyard, that the last place she goes... She want to see her mother grave... for a peaceful prayer.'' He looks down and more depress.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

"Oh... alright. So thats where we should start searching. What does she look like? Just asking so we don't bring the wrong girl back. And how long is she missing by now?"

[Klern]

''Elizabeth have long blonde hair with beautiful blue eyes. When she desappear... she have a pink dress with blue flowers on it. About the time... It was four days ago she desapear... He close his green eyes and murmurs : ''I wish she be alright...'' He take his compel smile and said: ''Before you go... Do you want to eat in the castle with me... I think it the first I can to for you now. Most, you are my guest.''

[The_Shaman]

The dwarf looks around, a little sad and very confused. This isn't right. Just isn't. I don't care how nice he is, he's a king. Kings don't normally invite people for dinner, they've got, uh, servants for that kind of thing. Don't they? It's all messed up with those humans... Next thing it will turn out this king doesn't know anything about mining!

I don't know how you do it, people, but I usually italicize thoughts. So unless anyone's a telepath here, you haven't actually heard all that.

He puts a hand in his belt and takes something small out.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sparrow

Of course we will dine with you, your Majesty. It would be our honor. And if you desire, I will sing for your entertainment.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

A growl can be heard from his stomach. "Oh... yes. I'd love to grab some food now... uh, I mean, thank you for your invitation."

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

The dwarf tugs at Sparrow's sleave nervously, and beckons him to bring his head closer before whispering Are, er, kings supposed to act like that? Er, are you sure this is the right one?

[Klern]

''This is all I can do for you now for thank you for search about my little Elizabeth...'' He looks sad, but smile a little. ''By the way, I don't like formallity, so yes I can told you to take some food with me.'' He smile and the tone of his voice was really serious.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sparrow

Sparrow whispers back to his companions:

"The very fact that he's acting so informal makes me think he must be the king. An impostor would be acting more...kingly. Besides, young Jeremy seemed to have practically been on first name basis with the king from the way he talked!

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

As the half-orc listens to sparrow, he nodds in silent agreement.
Then he wispers back "I think this makes sense. Lets get some food."

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

The dwarf looks up despairingly. Are you sure, he whispers at the one called Sparrow. Just, er, be careful. This can't be right...

[Klern]

The King snap his fingers and a big table, with some food on it, appears. ''Bon appetit!'' He saids before take some of chicken leg. A red wine was on each golden-cup. Some fruits was in the fruit bowl, like grape, apple, orange and other. And a lot more other food.

Jérémy enters room with a old women after his little footstep. ''Thank for the invitation your highness!'' He saids with his little child voice. The prietess of Pelor hold the red hair kid and takes a serious face on him. ''Jérémy! How many time a told you to become more polite with the king.'' She saids with reproach. The little kid looks really sad. ''Oooooh... I'm sorry Barbara...'' He turn over the king and saids: ''I'm sorry your highness...'' The king laughs and takes a charming smile. ''It's all right Jérémy. My daughter consider you like his eternal little brother.'' Jérémy smiles and takes a chair, fallow by the mother of the orphanage.

Barbara haves long gray hairs with his silver grays eyes. She wears a old silver white dress with the symbol of Pelor around his neck, like a pendant. She was very polite and good way with all she does. She talk about the orphanage to the king who listen her carefully and he saids her some advice. She smile to the purple dress king and continues to eat.

Jérémy eats really fast and reads a big book across him. Barbara take the books to the kid, who do some scolding to her. ''I just want to finish this one...'' He defends his self. ''No. You read it later. That really not polite when you read and eat in the sametime.'' Saids the maids with her strict, but peaceful old voice.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

He sits down, grabbing the biggest chicken leg he can see with his hands and bites a good chunk out of it.

"Your highness, thanks for the invitation..." He says, before chomping down some more chicken ... and for the food. I've been wondering, from where do you get your fresh meat? I don't mean to brag, but I regulary hunt animals and sell them in the citry - and maybe you would be interested in buying some of my prey regulary, after we brought your daughter back.", trying to extend his regular buyers network.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sparrow joins in the dinner but stays quiet for now.

[Klern]

The king smiles and turn to Kroatan. ''That a great idea! I tell that to my servant.'' Jérémy looks the hunter and start to speak really exited and quickly. ''Your a hunter? How can you hunt some animal and what species do you prefer to hunt or, you probably like big animal, so what is your most bigger animal your hunt? What weather do you prefer for your hunt or do you like to hunt during the day or the night? What weapon do you use for hunt? Do you like the forest around the kingdom and how do you pass the wood wall around him? You make a pacts with forest's people?'' Barbara looks tire when she saws the orphan and the king laughs.

[Bonecrusher Doc]

Sparrow excuses himself quietly from the table, but rather than going to the privy, he walks quickly out of the castle. With no explanation, he strides to a horse merchant and barters his weapons for a sturdy traveling horse. He fills up his waterskin at a well, then rides off into the sunset. A mile out of town he looks over his shoulder one last time. A gust of wind blows his hair back, revealing slightly pointed ears. Sparrow whispers in the wind:

"Good-bye, Elizabetha. You were my home for many years, but I have realized I do not belong to these people. I shall seek my family in the wilderness. I shall never see you again."

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

Slightly stumbled by Jeremys he trys to answer each question one by one. "So young and already so full of questions, huh?" He grins slightly, revealing some more of his left tusk. "Well, I hunt whatever will feed me well - and sell good, of course. The biggest I've ever hunted... would be... mmh, let me think about this one. Bisons, I think. They're really hard to take down tough. For hunting times... very warm summer days are a good time to hunt. All the animals will be lazy and sit around in the shadows, not taking much care. Very cold winter nights are the same. Easy to find some animals in a cave that are hiding from the weather then."

He takes a short break, chewing on some of the meat and overthinking Jeremys many, many questions. "So... what else where you asking again? Ah... right, yes - I know some of the forests people. Some of them pray to Obad-Hai, like I do."
Looking at Jeremy with a broad grin on his face, he asks: "So... where that all of your questions?"

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag sits down on the table, muttering quietly. He pokes his food a little with his fork before starting to eat it.

[Klern]

Jérémy jump on his chair exited by the answer of the half-orc. ''Wow! You pray Obad-Hai! His the great God for the forest! I heard a rumor which he bless some hunters who like woodlands and nature, it's that true? I really happy to see who people hears the forest's heart again. Oh! I like the symbol of Obad-Hai, his fantastic mask of oak leaves and acorns, but don't be offence Barbara, I continued to pray Pelor.'' He has a little childish laugh and continues eats some fresh foods. Barbara laughs too before to answer the kid. '' It alright Jérémy, I know you study a lot of things... Like God and magic.''

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

"Yes, I believe so - otherwise I wouldn't have such good hunts as I have sometimes." He answers, as he dips what must be about his fifth chicken leg so far into some sauce.

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn

What the heck could a King want with me?! It can't be because he's heard of me, or else he'd just throw my but in prison and be done with it. So what if I did a little Arson, nobody knew it was me, and I was saving the gold from that safe in the burning building. The fact that the two were happening at the same time doesn't mean anything. Chuckling a little at his rememberance of that time, and other times like it, the little Kobold walked up the the castle gates. Pulling out the note that was sent to him, he flashed it at the guards and kept walking not waiting for a response.

Walking straight foward, not taking any turns in the hallways, knowing how castles are usually built (not from audiences with he king either). Being a rather small person, he waited at the door for someone to assist him in opening it. Not because he couldn't, but because he didn't feel like exerting himself at the moment. He did mildly wonder if the guards had been following him the entire way or not, he didn't really care. After all, this time he wasn't stealing anything.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Rhadamanthys

Following, unnoticed, on the tail of the first Kobold (Rhadamanthys chuckled at the pun), came as second figure. He wears swathed in a worn, but nonetheless evidently high-quality robe, of a pale blue, but his reptilian, dragon-blooded nature was nonetheless obvious - the slightly bouncing, hopping stride gave enough hint to any observer - to say nothing of the large, obvious tail, that balanced out behind it.

He creeps up behind the Kobold waiting at the door, and suddenly, unexpectedly, pipes up with

Greetings, sir! May I assume that you too have received the call from the king of this land?

He brandishes a small not poking out from a scroll case.

[The_Shaman]

Kroatan

"Yes, I believe so - otherwise I wouldn't have such good hunts as I have sometimes." He answers, as he dips what must be about his fifth chicken leg so far into some sauce.

Kothrag

Or perhaps you have been graced by a deity of luck, the dwarf intervenes. The Gods often work in subtle ways to teach us their wisdom.

[Draik Tempest]

A little surprised that it was a fellow Kobold, and not a disgusting human, he resisted to stab him. Turning to face the other Kobold, he saw the note and heard that he too was invited to see the King. Why, yes, I was invited to see the king. I thought he needed the services of a bard, but seeing a fellow Kobold here, I wonder. Did your note say what you were called here for?

[Illiterate Scribe]

Rhadamanthys

Ahah, you as well. Judging from the note ...

The kobold fumbled with the latch on the scroll case.

... the matter concerns the king's daughter. Preliminary reconnaissance (actually, just asking some servants in a bar) says she's gone missing. Pity. Princesses should come affixed with some form of homing beacon, they get lost so often.

Shall we enter?

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

"That... would be possible." Kroatan reluctantly admits "But I don't believe so. I've been praying to Obad-Hai for a long time now, I don't know why some other god instead of the Obad-Hai would help me along when I don't pray to him."

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn
"I agree. We should go in" After speaking he opened the doors in front of them and walked inside.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

The door opens, but the huge Half-orc can't see anything walking in. As he stands up to get a better view, he sees 2 kobolds that were hidden from his sight by the table before. Apparently suprised by the little creatures he turns to the king. "Umm... your highness, did you invite two Kobolds in here?"

[Klern]

The king saws the two kobold after the remark of the half-orc. ''Ha yes! You two are Tinaldomurn and... Rhadamanthys
I guess? Well take a chair and eat with us.'' He wait his new invite take the two chair specialize for them. Jérémy say the two crature who have never see and he looks exated, before he start to talk and blizt them of a lot of questions, Barbara stop him with his hand on his mouth for tell him to not talk now and wait for later.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Rhadamanthys

Rhadamanthys leaps nimbly into one of the chairs that are pointed out up by the king. It's one that is uncomfortably close to the fire - not close enough to cause any damage to the chair, but still closer than most people would like.

So, friends - if we are to be working together, knowing names would be an excellent place to begin. My name is Rhadamanthys, erstwhile of the Reminscience Watchers tribe; my comrade here is Tinaldorum, I believe.

OoCIf you're wondering how he knew the name, remember that he's done a bit of background reading for this quest:smalltongue: !

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn
Smiling at being greeted by a King, Tinaldomurn gave a flourishing bow to the King and guests. "Thank you for the introduction. Yes, I am Tinaldomurn, adventurer and musician extrodinare." Smirking he walked over to the other chair, which was also close to the flames in the hearth.

As the flames danced in his eyes, Tinaldomurn smiled to everyone around him, "Ah, how I do love a good fire. It's always so cheerful to see the crackling flames dance along the wood." He smiled, and took a look around the table at what he assumed to be the other's invited on the mission.

And no, he's not talking about the logs in the fire.

[Tacitus]

Kargin

Having said so little up until this point the quite Pelorite looks up and it seems that he has only just noticed anything thats happened since they sat down. He had been so focused on making himself not look like a total idiot that he had kept to himself in his veritable fortress of steel plating. He slowly looked to the two newcomers and tried to focus on them for a moment before he spoke slowly and carefully, "Hello Rhad- Rha...Tina- T...friends. My name is Kargin Runethane, son of Julian." He honestly hoped they didn't try to strike up a conversation with him as he thought he was already making a fool out of himself by being unable to repeat their names.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

He sits down again after hearing the king speak. As the others have introduced themself, he beginns to speak.

"Ah... Alright then. My name is Kroatan. Nice to meet you."

[Illiterate Scribe]

Rhada-what?

Rhadamanthys leans across the table to shake the half-orc's hand. Unfortunately, due to the table being human-sized, rather than kobold-scale, he ends up almost clambering over it.

A pleasure to meet you, Kroatan.

He then turns to the Cleric, completely oblivious to the fact that he's clad in full-plate mail (although it may in fact be due to the fact that he doesn't want to draw attention to the fact that, under his robe, the kobold is himself wearing armour.

And how fare the flock of Pelor?

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn
Simply nodding at the two larger people, Tinaldomurn stands up on his chair and begins putting food onto his plate, mostly meats and only the ones that look a little undercooked. Sitting down again, Tinaldomurn looks at the half-orc and says, "If my name is too difficult to say, Tin, will do just fine." Inside his head, he thought, Ignorant savage. He's lucky he's wearing armor or I'd put a knife in his side. Smiling at the thought he began to eat the food on his plate, crunching the bones as he did so.

[Tacitus]

Kargin

The Pelorite only makes one short reply, and queitly at that, "The Shining One blesses all." Thereafter he goes back to eating, hoping his lack of words didn't make him seem rude outright.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Rhadamanthys

The kobold carries on, again seeming not to notice Kargin's taciturn responses.

Excellent, excellent; al'Asran's work and cause are good and just ones.

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

The dwarf looks on to the kobolds with obvious surprise, and perhaps a bit of distaste. When the king invites them to the table, he just says They... can? with growing confusion. He actually seems a bit... redder than normal.

[Klern]

After everything was eat, the king get up of his chair, snap his finguers and all dishes disappear. He looks every of his aventurer who going to save his daughter. ''I'm happy to see you before you going... and I wish you going to find my belove daughter...'' He looks a little deprese, but he smiles to them.

Jérémy stay up on his chair. ''I going too, your Highness! I want to seach Élizabeth! She's my friend after all.'' The king looks him and laughs. ''I'm happy you want to help her, but I think Barbara don't let you go, right?'' She smiles to the kid and approuve the king with his head. ''But... I can fight too! I can defend my self! I can use my magic for help them!'' Barbara clams Jérémy and tolds him his just a kid and it's for his sake she doesn't let him go. Sad, the little wizard sits on his chair with tear on his saphir blue eyes.

The king turn to the group of his daughter rescuer and said: ''You can go and I promise you to give you some money want you rescue her and she back to the castle.'' He smiles and the door opens for telling to them the audience was finish.

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn
Hoping out of his chair, Tinaldomurn snapped his fingers and spoke an Arcane word. The next instant a Violin appeared in his hand. Bowing to the King, he began to play as he walked out the door, a slow varying tone that picked up after a few seconds. He didn't care what it sounded like to other people, mainly because he was playing what was in his head.

He's taking 10 on his perform skill *has tried about 20 times to get the roller to work*
As a side note, the song he's playing is Voltaire - When You're Evil. He's not singing it though

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

The Half-orc replies to Tinaldomurn "Tinal... Tinaldomurn, wasn't it? I think I'll be fine, but thanks for the offer", he says with a rough smile.

As the king opens the door, he stands up but turns to the king.
"Alright, then we can get going as soon as Sparrow comes back... speaking of Sparrow, where is he? He's been gone for quite some time by now."

[Klern]

The king looks pensive, but he answer Kroatan. ''I don't know, sorry. I think he justs want to travel around the world or... be free.'' He smiles, but he looks to be don't sure about his answer.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

"Thats weird... altough he sometimes was kinda flighty. Oh well. He'll probably show up again in a few days. If he returns from whatever he does, maybe send him after us." The half-orc says, looking a bit saddened from the sudden disappearance of his friend.

Then he walks out the door, following the little kobold with the Violin. Then he speaks to the Kobolds: "So.. the last place the kings daughter was going to was the graveyard - unless any of you has a better idea, we should probably go there first."

((OOC: Draik, see my comment in the ooc thread. ^^ Also, you can't edit rolls into a old post, you've got to make 'em in a new one.))

[Tacitus]

Kargin

The Pelorite silently stands, which actually includes a lengthy clamor of his armor in the classic 'I'm a Cleric, I'm being loud!' theme. He gives a brief nod to the king and a partial bow before he too moves to leave.

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn
Still playing, it seemed like Tinaldomurn was ignoring the half-orc when he didin't speak for a few seconds. When he finally spoke, his words came out in a sing song voice. "To the graveyard, if you wish, for the princess dressed in Pink. However, don't be worried when you find, things best left in the grave." He chuckled to himself a little, and continued walking.


Thanks #Raptor *glares at the evil dice system*

[Klern]

The five aventures goes on the exit of the city, but when they want to quit, a little red hair kid run to the entrance, but he falls in ground and some books get out of his brown bag. ''Ouch...'' He said when he rub his head. He start to pick up his magic book and other which pull over the ground. ''Elizabeth...'' He sponges his sapphir blue eyes of his tears. ''I find you... alone if nobody want my help!'' He saids to himself.

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

Kothrag had already finished with the meal and was looking around at the hall, his left foot thumping at the sound of an unheard melody - and for a time the heard one. Afterwards, he steps off the chair and, with a slight "Errr" bows in the direction of the king and queen, We'd be happy to help, your majesty then backs down.

When they're out of the hall, he turns to the nearest humanoid and comments. Erm, who was that kid at the audience anyway? A page or some such?

((Ok, I'm getting confused here. Are there some clues as to where this princess can be?))

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

As he walks along with the group as they get out of the caste, he answers the Dwarf. "No, he was one of the orphans... but Sparrow knows him better than I do."

A few moments later, when they are about to exit the city he stops as he notices Jeremy falling to the ground. He walks up to him after deciding to talk him out of this. He kneels down to see face to face with the little boy and says: "Ok now... listen Jeremy. Its too dangerous out there for a young boy. Do you have any idea of monsters are out there? How about you just go to nurse... whatwashernameagain... Barbara? Just let us do the searching, I'm sure Elizabeth will be just fine when she returns."

((OOC: Aaah, sorry for not posting for so long!
@Shaman: Well, the last place she was going to was the graveyard. So... she might be there.))

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn
Finally ending the song on his violin, Tinaldomurn looked at the rest of the group, and then at Jeremy, who was being talked to by Kroatan. Flicking his tail a couple of times in annoyance, he walked over to the two. "Just let him come. Worse comes to worse I could always use a meat shi... er, I mean we could always use a wizard..." In a barely audible mutter he added, Ya, that's what I meant. He began twisting the plain band on his finger idly, pretending he hadn't said anything unusual.

[Klern]

Jérémy jumps on place and screams his joy. ''Oh! Thank you kobold man!'' He takes his book on ground, smiles to his new friends and starts to walk to the graveyard.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Rhadamanthys

The smaller, and more sparkly, of the kobolds, leads Jérémy aside.

My dear fellow - I am so sorry and embarassed to have to say this, but do you have any idea as to where the princess is? I, uh, forgot to ask.

[Klern]

Jérémy smiles to the kobold and laughs. ''Yup! She was probably in the graveyard, it was the last place she goes, I think we have to search there first or take some information or search... Well... The tomb of her mother was here, she want to see it last time I saw her.''

[Draik Tempest]

Urge... to... burn... rising... must resist... for now. Tinaldomurn stood there for a moment his hand reaching for his bag of holding, but he shoook his head and walked over to the Sparkly Kobold. "So, where is this graveyard?"

I'm just going to start rolling things in the OOC thread... this is getting ridiculus *get's irritated at the dice system*

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

But haven't the guards already checked there? Silly me, I should have asked that while we were eating with the king. I guess it all took me by surprise
Erm, Jerome, I don't think you should come. Really, I mean I mean it. But at least be careful, okay? he says as he walks alongside the others for the graveyard.

((we're using knowledge religion for anything related to the undead, right?))

[Klern]

''I'm be careful, I promise! Don't worry about me, I'm 12 year old you know?'' He laughs and continues to walk with his childish smile. Kothrag observes who Jérémy was a little too small for a child with his age.

[Draik Tempest]

Whistling, Tinaldomurn walked over to a building that seemed to be made mostly of wood and grabbed one of the flasks of oil out of the bag. Making sure he wasn't visible to the party, he poured the oil on the wood and then into a trail that led from the building. To top it off, he pulled a tindertwig from his pocket and struck it, lighting the oil on fire and smirking. Just for the hell of, he ripped off part of his cloak, stuck it into another pint of oil, lit that two, and threw it to the top of another building.

Rolling for the attack roll for that. [roll0]

The next instant, he was walking calmly back to the group, whistling a merry tune.

[Tacitus]

Kargin

Had he not been armored he would surely be rubbing his temples right now and muttering protest at bringing along the child.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

He looks at everyone for a moment before he says: "Well, I take it everbody is ready to move out?" Unless anyone disagrees, he'll start marching towards the graveyard.

[The_Shaman]

((Aren't we in the graveyard itself?))

Kothrag

The dwarf suddenly slows down and looks uncertainly. Erm... The guards. At the graveyard - the graveyard guards, or... I mean isn't there someone we should ask, in case they've seen or heard something?

[Klern]

The group takes a half day to go to the graveyard, which looks normal. Many tombs live here. Jérémy starts to run to the entrance and pass the old metal gate to wait other in the silence place. "The tomb of Elizabeth's mother was in this way. Fallow me!" He want to run ti the place but he dicide to wait the other, for be more carefully.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

He follows Jeremy, watching him closely so he won't run off on his own. "I don't know. Why would they put guards at a graveyard anyway?"

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldolmurn
Whistling still, the kobold simply shrugs and walks along with the boy, seeming not to care that he was following a child.

I like how people are ignoring the fire I made

[Klern]

Few minute later, Jérémy screams when he saws guard bodys around some grave and he starts to cry. He runs to the hand of the half-orc. ''What those people was dead? I'm scrare Kroatan...'' A cold wind pass by here and give a cold and bad sensation to the little red hair kid.

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

He looks at the corpses "Jeremy, stay behind me. The killers could still be here." He turns to Kothrag. "I guess its too late to ask those guys... lets check out what happend there. But be careful, everybody."

He pulls his greatclub out and takes a look around before he walks towards the dead guards.

[roll0]
[roll1]

((OOC: @Draik: Well, since our characters didn't see you making a fire... and I think by the time it would have been visible we'd already be a few kilometers out of the city.))

[The_Shaman]

Kothrag

((You said you were out of our sights, and we're clinically attention-challenged ;) ))

The dwarf shifts uncomfortably, looking at the dead guards. He approaches them carefully as if expecting them to rise again.

(([roll0] - heal to determine cause/time of death))

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn
Looking around, Tinaldomurn saw the body and shook his head. Amateurs. They positioned the body all wrong, and the least they could have done was put a few more wounds into it. Walking up to the group. He drew the longsword at his waist looked around. "What do you think? Graverobbers or necromancers?" He hoped it was the later. Necromancers had better stuff to steal.

He gazed around the cometary, looking for anything out of the ordinary and listening for movement.

[Klern]

Tinaldomurn saws a broken dagger next to one of guard body and few footsteps across tomb with red flower. The name scribe on it: Elizabetha Delîle, the queen of great heart and mother of Elizabeth, the princess. Some component of spell are around the dead bodys.

Kothrag looking the dead guard for determine the time of their death. It looks it been one week ago they dead by attack of some people with basic weapon, like dagger, sword and other more.

A strange wheezy breathing sounds next to the little group of aventurer. Jérémy heards it too and turn slowly his childish face and sream. "Look out! ZOMBIE!" He starts to shake in the dark nights who starts to fall.

Roll your initiative everyone.

The other kobold, who had been hanging about at the back of the party, kicking his feet a little, suddenly sparks into life. Under the voluminous robe that he wears, tiny muscles tense, and then propel him forward, a spark of resplendent light darting forward in the fading sun. As he moves, he draws his short blade, and, with a single fluid movement, slashes at the nearest shambler.

The Half-orc looks slightly puzzled as he gets hit by arcane energy sent from Kothrag and his size suddenly doubles.

The barbarian crushs one of the undead and pulverize him with his darkwood greatclub. Some of dead human skin scatter in the graveyard and on the aventurer, one piece of skin goes on Jérémy nose... and he screams of surprise.

"Prepare for the ice ball strike zombies of abyss, same no undead really leave theire... Scare my conjuration magic!" A ice blue ball appears on his finger's extremity with a frost mist around it. He takes a swing and throws the magic sphere on the undead after Kroatan. The orb of cold hit the zomby and freezes him. The frozen undead start to crack and falls on billion of cold dead's piece...

Excellent work, Jérémy! I reconsider any opinion that you were a liability - that's some nice ice work.

The smaller, more glow-y, kobold smiles as he spreads his claw fully open at the zombie in front of him - an aura of bright light pulses out from it at the nearest uninjured zombie, together with a small but fierce wave of heat. He sheathes his sword, but doesn't just stand there - rather, assuming a defensive stance.

Inspire Courage (Su): A bard with 3 or more ranks in a Perform skill can use song or poetics to inspire courage in his allies (including himself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities.

During this time, Jérémy search again on his bag. ''Where in the world I pack you away? Oh! I got it!'' He saids with his childish voice and his eternal entousiasm. He takes a iceberg wand and he point it on the night sky. ''By the encetral power of the hell of ice, I demand you to give me your power! Please come to me, power of the cold sphere! Ice orb, lesser! On the top of the wand, a cold orb appears and he throw to hit the zombies next to Kroatan. ''I wish you paid for hurting my half-orc friend!'' He pass close to miss him. ''Oups...

The shiny kobold just a little annoyed.

These zombies were bad enough to start with - they, however, were just zombies, they were animated, don't blame them, blame the animator - but there is something about the site of them drawing blood from his new friends that angers him.

With a tiny, high-pitched, squeal of rage, he whips the blade back across the zombie closest to him.

"If she was here, maybe I can find out where she went.. if you want you can help me. Look for any footprints leading away from the grave."

Kothrag

The dwarf picks up his wand and tries to clean himself a little. Then, he goes near one of the re-dead zombies and pokes it a little with a stick, busying himself with the corpse for a few moments. Those near him can hear a few soft clicks coming from his mouth as he clicks his tongue.

Kothrag thinks zombies was create by magic for one wizard and Kroatan saws some footsteps around the Elizabeth's mother gravestone. Only a pot of red flower was in front of the tomb.

Kroatan

Kroatan walks to the footsteps, then he points a finger at the print.
"Take a look at that... I don't know who made those footsteps, but maybe they belong to Elizabeth? Anybody else found something interesting?"

[Klern]

Jérémy come across Kroatan and show him what he finds. ''Take a look at this! This his a red rose, like the other one in the pot... Do you think it a link with the footstep?''

Kothrag

The dwarf mumbles something as he pokes the zombie one more time and heads towards the roses. He leans in to take a whiff and check if they're fresh.

Tinaldomurn
Tinaldomurn walked towards the roses, looking around for things that were out of place. He kept looking around, trying to spot another person besides them. As he looked, he laughed, "Whatever made those zombies is probably long gone from here, probably with the Princess. I hope they at least left something behind for the trouble they've caused."


Spot Check

Kothrag smells the pure scent of the rose. Jérémy gets up his hands before he talks. ''Oh! I remerber something! Elizabeth comes here with those flower to give them to her mother...'' He looks around him and he remembers he was in a graveyard. ''Oh right... To give them to the soul of her mother, sorry.''

Tinaldomurn saw a few footsteps and ground tracks next to the tomb of Elizabeth's mother.

[Draik Tempest]

Tinaldomurn
Without saying anything to the others, Tinaldomurn begins to follow the footsteps, after only a quick look at the rest of the group. He has his sword out and intended to stab anything he perceived as a threat to him.

Kroatan

Turning to Jeremy, he says: "Maybe, yes. How about we follow those tracks and find out? I haven't seen any other tracks leading away from the grave anyway."

[Klern]

The footsteps stop in front of the grave stone of Elizabeth mother. Jérémy sees them and said to the half-orc: ''But... All footsteps in front of the tomb... Do you think... Do you this they are ghost and the disappear with Elizabeth? Or they are a monstruious monster who eat princess on breakfast and people who want to help her on dinner? Or, maybe, there are some human who create some secret passage and hide them self underneth of us?'' He takes a long breath for calm him self and said more: '' I'm sorry... I think I'm just a little scare about what append to the princess... She important for the king and all people on the Kingdom of Elizabetha... We must find her... and save her!''

Just for fun... Everyone, can you roll some listen roll :smallwink:

[#Raptor]

Kroatan

"Huh?" The Half-orc looks on the ground in confusion... "Looks like you're right. Weird."

[roll0]

[Klern]

Kroatan heard some footstep under the tomb of the Elizabeth's mother.

Kroatan

"Shhhh! Listen! Theres something below us!" he whispers carefully.
