Maharal
"Leave the poor girl alone, Rynthel. She doesn't seem interested in your 'comfort'." Maharal's lip quirks into a smile at Rynthel's reaction. "You must excuse him. He tries that line on every pretty girl we come across.

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
"I most certainly do not. I'm merely trying to comfort someone who is quite obviously upset. Well, obvious to anyone who isn't oblivious, anyway. She's clearly had a difficult time lately, and I'm merely trying to lend a sympathetic ear, though I'm certain that my appearance is off-putting. Most people simply don't trust my kind."

KT stands and moves to the woman, "I.. apologize on behalf of my allies, Miss. Perhaps a change of subject would be best. I was wishing to discuss with you more about this of my kind and the wizard with him. What do you remember about them? Where were they going?"

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
I get this sort of thing all the time, but I prefer not to. She says, glaring slightly at the other twoI'm afraid I can't say much on this, Eledseri says, The wizard didn't say much, didn't give his name and went north about a year ago. I'm sorry if you've planned to find him, but I cannot tell you any more than that. She looks around at the group in general. Is there anything else that I can get you before retiring for the night?

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
"Forgive me, dear lady. I've had quite a bit to drink today, which seems to have quite thrown my manners for a loop. I have no doubt come across as being too forward. I meant no insult and certainly don't wish to impugn your honor. I merely thought that you seemed upset and could perhaps use a friendly ear. The offer still stands, though I can of course understand if you're not ready to talk about it, or don't wish to speak of your worries to a drow."

She frowns at Rynthiel. I think that drink addled your wits more than you realise, sir.

"Thank you again, Ms Eledseri. I apologise for my friend's behaviour. But in all sincerity, if you can glean any more information about the recent trouble, we may be able to make it worth your while."

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
Yes, I think you might want to take care of your friend, she says, frowning at the Drow and then crossing to the otherside of the room to pull the shutters closed on the windows.

Travok - Dwarf Battlemind
Travok smiles at the drow's unsuccessful attempts to talk to the woman. He can't decide for himself whether he's trying to pick her up or interrogate her, but he doesn't seem to be doing much of a job at either. Finishing his ale, he says, "I think I'll turn in for the night. Can you show us our rooms? Unlike certain others"--he glances at the constructs and the elf--"I need sleep."

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
Eledseri lights a few more candles and then leads you to your rooms, they're rather small and though well-aired and clean have the appearance of long disuse. There is a bed, a sturdy chair and a small table in each of them as well as a small bucket in the corner and a metal basin and jug on the table.
She leave a candle on the small table of each room and bids you goodnightLast edited by Katana_Geldar; 2010-08-31 at 07:07 PM.

Rynthel blows out his room's candle and settles down to trance for the night.

Maharal
Maharal seats himself at the table, creaking slightly as he settles down and constricts his joints into his normal sleep cycle. His eyes dim, but runes inscribed all over his body begin to glow with the reflected candlelight as they recharge their energies.

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
Aki lies awake for a while, turning over what he knows in his mind and seeing if it fits together. Concluding that there just isn't enough information for anything other than speculation, he finally closes his eyes to sleep.

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
The night passes uneventfully and the next morning dawns clear and bright.
Aki
You're awakened by the sound of something banging on your door as if trying to get in and not quite succeeding. Every so often you here a low muffled cry and the banging resumes.

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
"Interesting..."
Aki pulls on some clothes, trusting to the door to hold for a few minutes. He lifts his orb in one hand and, after a moment's thought, his knife in the other. Standing on the opposite side of the room, he raises his orb to the door and focuses his mind on the latch, willing it to open.
SpoilerStanding away from the door, using mage hand to open it. Or prestidigitation, whichever is appropriate. I'm sure one of them will do the trick.I write a gaming blog. It also hosts my gaming downloads:

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
You see a marmelade coloured cat sitting very firmly in the doorway as only a cat can. The cat enters the room, ignoring you completely, and goes directly to the patch of sun projected from your window.

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
KT had blocked the door and left something to lean precariously at the window. While he normally doesn't care about other people's presence, when he removes his plating to work on himself, he prefers a great amount of privacy. He takes the plates off and fastidiously works on his simple maintenance, cleaning and tightening the gears. After all, he is a five century old machine, and the trail dust of journeys can be quite bothersome. His work complete he puts his belongings up again and settles in to meditate for the night. His main spring, his heart so to speak, rewinds and tightens as he 'sleeps', readying him for another day. He places everything as it was before he entered and proceeds down to meet the others while they eat.

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
Rynthel has been up from his trance for several hours now and has been sitting quietly in the common room near the remains of the fire. He nods to the others as they appear.

Travok Bluesteel - Dwarf Battlemind
When he wakes up, Travok quickly washes and then stretches, working out kinks in his muscles. Once he feels he's ready, he puts on his armor, buckles on his craghammer, and slings his pack and shield across his back. Then he goes down to see the others.

Arthur
Arthur wakes early to greet the sunshine outside, and prays to Pelor as it began its majestic progress across the sky. When the sun has risen, Arthur makes the bed he has risen from before contemplating the road ahead. He gathers his gear, and moves to meet the rest of his travelling party downstairs.

Maharal
Having finished recharging earlier in the night, Maharal takes some time to record his thoughts in the private journal he keeps tucked in his pack. Hearing the sounds of dawn breaking outside, he stands and stretches himself before wandering over to the kitchen. Maharal has no real need for food, and his sense of taste is more on the academic side than something that he really evaluates for himself, but the process of cooking has always fascinated him. If Eledseri is in the kitchen, he'll try to get her to let him help with cooking breakfast.

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
Eledseri is nowhere to be seen, instead you see a halfling woman at the bar. In front of her is a wheel of cheese, a coarse round of bread and a rich-looking black sausage. There's also a flagon of pale-coloured ale that she serves you with a motherly smile.
"There you are ducks, nothing like a wee bit of tipple to bring out the colour in your cheeks," she says, her own cheeks red as apples suggesting she had had some herself. She serves you with a self-satisfied air, chatting freely. "Windermere Spakenberry's my name, but it'll be a darn sight pleasanter for you if you call me Win. Eledseri has me in at times to help her out, though with the way things are I wondered..." She shakes her head and smiles. "Poor lass, it's all I can do to help her. We've all suffered with these troubles but her more than most."
She opens the door to throw a bucket of dirty water outside, a marmelade cat manages to dart through the open door before she closes it.
Insight 15
SpoilerWindermere looks a lot more easy going than Eledseri, and the ale she has consumed probably has something to do with that. Probing her for information should be easy.

Maharal
"Good morning to you, Win. I had hoped to assist Eledseri with preparing the morning meal, but I see that you have already prepared a fine meal." Taking a seat but no food, he nods politely to her to continue. "What did you mean about her suffering more than most?"
SpoilerC'mon no whammies.

Re: [4E] Tomb of Horrors IC
And what does a metal man such as your self know about victuals, hey? Win asks Maharal. As for the other, I was talking too much, as usual, she adds with a grin.
