Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
”No not here, they wouldn’t try and take us here. It would be better for them to wait until we were on some remote mountain somewhere.” Garrik smiles though it still kind of just looks like he wants to have dinner. “Let’s go gather up Moskra and see is we can help your cause.”

Eugenia
Clearly not understanding the finer points of ambushes, Eugenia shrugs and slides off the firewood and turns to the old man.

Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
"Sure thing, jes follow me." Old man leads trio through city streets, takes winding, looping path. "Welcome to The Pink Panther," he says when there. Comfortable place. Namesake on sign.
"Will you all be wanting a room?" asks concierge in lobby. Fat. Rosy-cheeked. Dark-haired.
When you look behind you, the old man is gone.Spoiler: Moskra Rhadan

The old man's ultra-fast disappearance confirms her suspicions. Well, who was Eugenia to judge. Don't touch the nose!
"Just a small glass of wine for me, whatever you have."

An eyebrow raises. "We have wine, m'am, but it's for customers only, or guests of customers. Dining is by reservation only.
If you don't mind my asking, are you here to rent a room or are you here to lounge? If it's the former, I kindly suggest taking your business to a less exclusive establishment."Spoiler: Moskra Rhadan

Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
Garrik steps forward and in his best snooty voice says, "I ... apologize for my compatriots actions, we are here to meet Mr. Tnomal. We were told he would be here."

Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
"Oh..." says the innkeeper. "Him." Hands you a key. Room #130. "He's on there." Looks at all of you. Scowls. "Don't get up to any funny stuff in my rooms. This is a house of the gods after all."

Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
Room #130. Furnished: carpets, easy chairs. Man looking out window. Pointy ears. Holding wine glass.
"My name is Knotts Tnomal. I work for Moskra Rhadan," says the man. Turns around. Face sallow, young. Eyes dark. "I am his eyes, ears, mouth, and voice. Treat me as you would treat him."
Spoiler: OOCIf you've met Moskra, you can see a resemblance between him and Tnomal. His voice is completely different, however.Spoiler: Moskra Rhadan

Hagard follows the group inside up to this Mr. Tnomal's room. When Moskra appears to be absent once again he grows impatient. They'd only met once or twice nearly a century ago... Knotts looked similar, but was this an alter ego or someone else entirely? He wasn't sure, but something needed to be said.
"Seems we're already on the receiving end of his talent for not showing up. We've no quarrel with you, brother, but we already met his wrinkly old 'eyes and ears and fingers and eyebrows.' If Moskra is too cowardly to show himself to old..." he pauses for a moment, clearly about to say 'friends' or 'colleagues' and realizing they are neither. "... I'm not so sure someone unwilling to lay everything on the table in person is ready for what's to come."Last edited by miinstrel; 2021-06-25 at 05:04 PM.

Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
Knotts nods with Hagard. "Moskra has been dealing with much... adversity lately. He meant no slight by his absence, I assure you. I'm quite sure he trusts you all, but as they say, the walls have eyes and ears." A sip of wine. "If Moskra himself were to be found by his enemies, everything he's built would be lost. His absence is a move of prudence, not cowardliness."

Eugenia trails along, watching the three men navigate a slightly odd situation.
"Well, it seems like if Moskra's OTHER eyes and ears has already been briefed, and you already know about the situation at Mount Iramel, there's not much more to be talked about here.
"The old man said not to bother Moskra until we were sure we needed him, so I guess the other three of us could teleport to the mountain tonight, and send word back to him if find that we need a, uh, weapon. Or do you think he'd like to come with us?"Last edited by Toliudar; 2021-06-26 at 11:43 PM.

Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
Eugenia
Eugenia nods and turns to Garrik and Hagard.
"Trust requires trust. I concealed my identity this evening until I was certain I could trust all of you."
She pulls off the red hat.
"My name is Eugenia Valence. I'm actually halfling. For nearly seventy years, I have been a cantor, performer and travelling preacher for the Church. I have no place in the formal hierarchy, and clearly am here with no official sanction.
"But...I know how some of you feel about the Church. If this makes you not want to help in this, I of course understand. I'll head on without you. If you're not going to kill me, I'll ask for your discretion as well. As Garrik has alluded, he has people who rely on him. So do I. If I were seen to be associating with such notable figures as yourselves, it might go very hard on those people. As well, I flatter myself that I have attained a small degree of notoriety. I feared that my undisguised appearance would draw undue attention to our meeting.

Maybe he just had an axe to grind against their mysterious compatriot after the last time. Wanted to size him up again in person. What's a few more days after all these years...
Hagard folds his arms at the dragonborn's more diplomatic approach. "Perhaps some have less to lose than others," he adds gravely, remaining silent after Eugenia's question suggesting he had nothing further to add before they departed.

The halfling woman nods. She assumes that Moskra's minion would come or not, at his master's bidding.
"Thank you for making this leap of faith with me.
"I've arranged for a cover, a 'vacation' that I've taken for the next two weeks. So I'm ready to head to Wellspring now. If any of you need time to prepare for a journey, I of course understand. This has been a lot to take in. But if you're willing, I can teleport us to Wellspring tonight.""We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Kurt Vonnegut

"I am ready for such a journey," says Knotts. "I need only grab a few... insurance policies, first." Steps out of room; grabs backpack, weapons belt, cloak. "Moskra has rented this room for an additional month. If we need a place to fall back to, you are all welcome here. I can personally vouch for the innkeeper's discretion."

Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
Eugenia
Eugenia formed a mental image of the alley behind the Pen and Pauper, Wellspring's most prosperous if only questionably literary tavern, standing proudly on one side of the town square. Eugenia had very fond memories of gathering in this alley before performances tosmoke uppray devoutly with her band.
Taking Knotts' hand, Eugenia gestures for everyone to join together, and then she murmured the words of the teleport spell.

Re: High Level Epic 5E [IC]
Eugenia manages the casting without any difficulty, but you find yourselves not as close to Wellspring as you had thought you'd be. You find yourselves in some of the woods near it, the massive trees towering above you. It takes a few minutes to figure out your exact spot, but with a bit of tree climbing, you spot the road leading through the villages of this area. Your trek is not a difficult one, nor arduous, but it is only a few hours from night when you're approaching Wellspring.
The village is quieter than it should be-there's people there, you can see, but not as many fires or other lights as you would expect.I have a LOT of Homebrew!

Looking around their night-time surroundings, Eugenia offers a colourful if ultimately non-profane expression of dissatisfaction.
"Sorry, gentlemen. I think the town is this way."
Dread drops the floor of her stomach, and she glances up at Garrik.

You can feel the tenseness in the air as you walk into Wellspring. It's not dread-not yet, at least-but these folk are not at ease.

Knotts walks up to the woman. "Good day, ma'am. Sorry to bother you, but we're new here and you seem like a woman who knows this town well. We're looking for information about the various hardships this town has faced. Is there a place you recommend to get it?"
