WotA Axton (6:50:15 PM): or at least the mostly dead
AussieScum (6:50:23 PM): (( Well, I suppose he's
not gonna keel over and die immediately, but he's not exactly on the road to
recovery )) WotA Daere (6:50:47 PM): ::loud stage whisper::
"10 silver says I can still get an arrow in him even while he's

AussieScum (6:53:13 PM): (( He's negative, but
let's call it stable ))
AussieScum (6:53:23 PM): (( That'll do for me, Joe
))
WotA Dethel (6:54:07 PM): :CMW:
AussieScum (6:54:33 PM): He stirs. He's at the point where you could maybe
ask him a few questions before he succumbs to unconcsciousness again.
AussieScum (6:54:44 PM): If he, in fact knows anything. Or is willing to
speak....
WotA Axton (6:55:06 PM): need to get him active.....
WotA Axton (6:55:19 PM): i dont want a slave just laying around all day
WotA Eirlys (6:55:22 PM): ::watching and listening at doors,
letting the diplomats or intimidators handle this::
WotA Axton (6:55:46 PM): help watch the doors
WotA Jarek (6:56:09 PM): :: head over,
lean down 'conversationally' :: "Hey, bud. Feeling better? Good. So, tell
me... what's going on here?"
WotA Dethel (6:56:31 PM): :to the guard
after I bring him around:"Where is the dwarf?"
WotA Axton (6:57:00 PM): ((ah they r playing bad cop bad cop))
WotA Jarek (6:57:18 PM): (( I don't see any
knees being threatened. ))
AussieScum (6:57:29 PM): "Just kill me and be done with it"
AussieScum (6:57:36 PM): "At least you'll do it quicker than the
redhead"
WotA Axton (6:57:47 PM): no dont kill my new slave
WotA Daere (6:57:53 PM): "Hey, I can kill you quick en- oh, not me."
WotA Jarek (6:58:10 PM): :: shake head ::
"We might. But if you help us a little, you just might live."
AussieScum (6:58:42 PM): "Got nothing to lose I suppose...."
WotA Jarek (6:58:43 PM): :: shoot Axton a
not-so-hidden 'You're not helping' look ::
AussieScum (6:59:04 PM): "Dwarf was taken through that door" ::weakly points to the door to the south::
WotA Dethel (6:59:29 PM): "What lays beyond the door?"
WotA Dethel (6:59:44 PM): "Tells us what you know & I will heal
you and let you leave here"
WotA Dethel (6:59:58 PM): "The redhead won't be coming after
you..."
AussieScum (7:00:30 PM): "Rooms?"
WotA Jarek (7:00:40 PM): "Never been there?"
WotA Dethel (7:00:55 PM): "That's not good enough!"
AussieScum (7:01:18 PM): "Ain't been here long. My billet was here.
Was told not to go there"
AussieScum (7:01:34 PM): "You don't cross Borka..." *cough* :: he spits up a little blood ::
WotA Jarek (7:01:48 PM): "Ever told why? C'mon... someone must've
let slip something about what the dwarf was for."
WotA Dethel (7:02:23 PM): "And what your former friends can
do"
AussieScum (7:02:57 PM): "I take my pay. I don't cross the boss. She
let's me live."
AussieScum (7:03:08 PM): "That's how it works"
WotA Jarek (7:03:32 PM): :: stand, pull
longsword :: "Right. Well, like I said - 'might'. Can't say you've been helpful..."
WotA Axton (7:03:53 PM): NO!! dont kill him
AussieScum (7:04:07 PM): He looks alarmed, but resigned.
WotA Axton (7:04:14 PM): i can use a slave
AussieScum (7:04:22 PM): (( He's much more afraid
of her than you, apparently ))
WotA Dethel (7:05:02 PM): "Go, now"
WotA Jarek (7:05:08 PM): :: turn to Axton
:: "We are Not traipsing thru the countryside with some liability in
tow."
WotA Axton (7:05:31 PM): then u want to be my
slave
WotA Jarek (7:05:42 PM): :: give Dethel a
similarly disapproving look, coldcock the guy back into unconsciousness. ::
AussieScum (7:06:06 PM): (( Make me a hit roll,
Vic ))
AussieScum (7:06:11 PM): (( I'd love to see a 1 ))
WotA Jarek (7:06:24 PM): "Oh, yes, please. Such a life I have
always desired." :: sigh :: WotA Eirlys (7:06:38 PM): ::snickers quietly::
AussieScum (7:06:45 PM): OK, that's enough. You whack him one and he goes
back to sleep.
WotA Daere (7:07:09 PM): "We done here?"
WotA Axton (7:07:10 PM): tie him up\
WotA Jarek (7:07:11 PM): :: to Dethel ::
"We can free him later... though he never came anywhere near being
helpful."
WotA Jarek (7:07:30 PM): "I leave his life in your hands. But I
won't risk him raising an alarm."
WotA Axton (7:07:45 PM): and gag him
WotA Dethel (7:08:05 PM): "Fair enough"
WotA Jarek (7:08:15 PM): "Yeah, Daere, we're done. Dumb guard, what a surprise."
WotA Eirlys (7:08:25 PM): ::moves to the south door::
"I hope so - go down here now, or check out these other doors first?"
WotA Jarek (7:08:44 PM): "If they went south, do we want to clear
east before following - there's not much building left in that direction."
WotA Dethel (7:09:08 PM): "Sure, but let's move fast"
WotA Eirlys (7:09:09 PM): ((GOOMB!))
WotA Eirlys (7:09:23 PM): "Fine."
WotA Jarek (7:09:24 PM): :: grin at
Eirlys :: "East doors it is."
WotA Dethel (7:09:25 PM): "I'd hate to lose the Dwarf"
WotA Eirlys (7:09:32 PM): ::goes to L5, checks door:: AussieScum (7:09:53 PM): For traps etc? WotA Eirlys (7:10:04 PM): yup
WotA Daere (7:10:06 PM): "Pick a direction, I'll take rear guard."

while..."

WotA
Eirlys (7:10:27 PM): that's 29 :-) WotA Eirlys (7:10:52 PM): ::test the door, and try to
open it a little, quietly::
AussieScum (7:11:13 PM): It opens...
WotA Daere (7:11:28 PM): ((I'd have refilled my quiver, btw, since we said these guys had
arrows.))
WotA Eirlys (7:11:41 PM): And I see?
AussieScum (7:12:00 PM): Inside, it appears to be quarters of some sort.
Apparently empty. Door on the far end (but you know that already ;-) )

Eirlys (7:12:25 PM): :-)
WotA Eirlys (7:12:45 PM): go in, take 10 on search for 19 (plus assists)

Eirlys (7:15:03 PM): ((If you promise to tell
us there's nothing bad in L5 coming after us :-D ))
WotA Jarek (7:15:05 PM): (( sure. if he'd
pointed East, we would be here, checking south. NP. ))
WotA Jarek (7:15:28 PM): (( does the blade
reset? ))
AussieScum (7:15:31 PM): (( Nothing for the moment ;-) ))
AussieScum (7:15:42 PM): Well the blade has a man at the end of it.

hall, the ceiling is dark and unlit
AussieScum (8:40:17 PM): In the center of the room a bright fire burns on a
golden alter.
AussieScum (8:40:20 PM): altar
AussieScum (8:40:46 PM): Even from the stairs you can feel the heat of the

AussieScum (8:51:50 PM): Inside you see that wrapping BT for this evening
AussieScum (8:52:32 PM): The walls of this room have recently been painted
blood red. Five sconces hold lit torches, but their flames fail to hold the
dreary shadows at bay.
AussieScum (8:53:10 PM): A yellow sand pentagram occupies the middle of the
floor, and upon the elaborate design are several splatters of blood from the
Dwarf who hangs upside down above it.
AussieScum (8:53:29 PM): Upon the wall opposite from the door is a long,
narrow stone table serving as an altar.
AussieScum (8:54:02 PM): Upon it are two burning candles of black wax, a
dead rat, a thick leather-bound tome and several jars made from green and
orange clay.
AussieScum (8:54:13 PM): Two other figures stand in the dark chamber:
AussieScum (8:54:32 PM): One, a gray skinned Nothrog in dark robes with a
long, crooked nose
AussieScum (8:54:54 PM): The other, a tall, beautiful red-headed woman in
shiny chain shirt with a longsword at her hip.
AussieScum (8:55:14 PM): The Dwarf is bound and gagged, and suspended by a
rope that binds his feet.
AussieScum (8:55:34 PM): The rope passes through a metal ring set in the
shadowy ceiling and is tied to a peg in the altar.
AussieScum (8:55:50 PM): He looks weak and blood drips from his dangling
fingers.
AussieScum (8:55:52 PM): .
AussieScum (8:55:53 PM): .
AussieScum (8:55:54 PM): .
AussieScum (8:56:04 PM): Next time: Saving of the dwarf.
AussieScum (8:56:20 PM): Or, viscious death to the bad guys?
WotA Jarek (8:56:21 PM): argh. wanted to
finish... :(
WotA Daere (8:56:27 PM): ((Dunh dunh DUNNNH!!))
WotA Axton (8:56:31 PM): or both
WotA Daere (8:56:42 PM): ((I'm good for another half hour or so if we want to push. Up to y'all.))
AussieScum (8:56:42 PM): Still at least a whole other session to finish
this adventure. Rescuing the dwarf is not the end of it :-)
WotA Dethel (8:56:43 PM): I'm up for Both!
WotA Daere (8:56:50 PM): ((Ah, nm, then. :) ))
AussieScum (8:57:03 PM): We could free the dwarf if you wanted, but there's
still more :-)
