Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
Don was a small bald man with a scraggy red beard. He looked middle aged. His hands looked they had seen some wear. Noah's beard, like the rest of him was huge. He had black hair and wood chippings covering every part of him.

"I should be on my way now." Theodore goes for his backpack. "My offer still stands, I need somewhere to stay the night. I would rather pay with work, but I should have enough coin too."

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
"There's a room spare upstairs. I don't want any more ruckus here. And I especially don't wanna see any more strangers die, so take the room and be glad. As I said, none'll offer you shelter 'ere. Pay me back by being gone tomorrow. The city, Frenai, you musta heard of it but you seem to be fresh outta water, is only a few miles out." Don explained, chucking a key.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
"I understand." He says, following Don upstairs.
Spoiler: oocWhat time it is? Is there still time to roll a cigar and smoke it outside? Or is it late enough that it would be weird to stay outside?

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
It's approaching dusk. Whether you wish to go outside is up to you.
Don points at a door at the end of a corridor. "That's yours. Don't bother anyone else or I'll throw you out quicker than a maiden's wink."Last edited by B3ZERKER; 2021-02-01 at 04:23 PM.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
"You won't even notice I'm here."
Spoiler: oocHere's Theodore plan:
1. Leave some of his stuff in the room (armor, spear, shield, backpack, adventuring gear) and go outside for a while. He thinks maybe someone will sneak inside to spy on him, so he leaves his coin purse as bait. He leaves 5 gp behind and take the rest.
2. Go out wearing a gambeson (padded armor that goes underneath the chain mail?), a buckler and a longsword - not battle-ready, but not vulnerable either. Take a look around while not drawing too much attention.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
The room was bare, with only a single candle and a bed. The window was barred and there was no table. Don turned around, knocking on a door near the stairs, with a softer voice than before. The reply was muffled but definitely female. Afterwards he headed downstairs.

If you are attempting to sneak out, please make a Stealth Check :D.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
You walk out casually. Noah and Don don't say a word, drinking as you leave.

No one is out in the streets, though there is candle light coming from the church.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
Eyes peek out of windows Theodore walks past. He reaches the wooden doors of the church. The symbol of the cross is emblazoned on either side of the stone walls.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
Theodore gets on his knees in front of the wooden doors and takes a couple of minutes to pray. A simple couple of sentences he has memorized ever since he was a young boy.
At the end, he looks up. Can he see the inside of the church? Can he be seen?

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
Apart from the walls, there are panes of painted glass, depicting the triumphs and sacrifices of saints. (Knowledge:Religion to learn more) You can't see through the painted glass.
You kneel down to pray in the cold however no one seems to take notice.

If Theodore is not exposed, he will grab the third he carries around his neck - effectively a very humble holy symbol - and activate his ability to Detect Evil. It works as the spells, so it has verbal and somatic components that might draw attention.
SpoilerEach round, you can turn to detect evil in a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
You can't sense anything from inside the church, however with the doors closed, it's possible the building itself is blocking the spell. There was an evil presence in the town recently. You couldn't recall any information from the painted glass. Cold winds brush past you as you pray.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
A few villagers step out of their homes and begin to approach you. One points and yells. "Whatta u doin'? Our church, not yours, so get gone with ye."

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
Theodore is taken by surprise by the villagers' menacing tone, which is clear in his voice. "I don't mean to disrespect. God knows you have been suffering enough without another outsider."
Then he waits for their reaction, hoping to squeeze some information about this evil presence without getting himself staked and burned alive.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
"What are ye doin' stalking around town? Either way, we don't want more strangers 'ere, so make ur prayers and go." The other villagers hollered in agreement, however didn't seem intent on violence.
The doors opened and Father Renauld asked calmly as he saw Theodore. "Please, friends, let us not interrupt one who seeks guidance with the Lord. Now how may I help you.. My apologies, I don't believe I know your name."
Renauld possessed an evil aura, though none of the Detect spells were always effective and alignments weren't a surefire way of judging one's character.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
"I'm Theodore. Father Bastian gave me that name... but I come from far away, so I don't expect anyone here to know his name."
Although he wasn't sure about that priest, he made Theodore uncomfortable, unnerved.
"Father Renauld, you're too kind, but I don't wanna make it worse around here. Maybe I should just go. Don't mean to cause no trouble, that I don't."

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
"This temple is always open to those who wish to pray, my child. However, it is late in the day, perhaps you should come back tomorrow?" Renauld asked, smiling eerily.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
"Stick to the road and you'll find your way to the city. It's a safe journey, Lord Arquis is very heavyhanded on bandits in his lands, as he should. Should you need supplies, I will gladly give them out of charity." Renauld answered.

Re: The Iron Tarot: Blood and Iron
"I shall find my way, then. Again, I'm grateful, father. Good man Don gave me something to eat and to drink, this should be more than enough supplies."
Theodore waits to be dismissed.
