I took my gold off of my vault gold, cause I was shy out of pocket. So, I will go to the vault, come back with the 150, and then really get my curse removed.

OOC: Elodie will compensate everyone for the gold spent to remove curses when divvying up the money for the jewelry.

Recap ...

After the curses are removed, the entire party is together inside the temple of the gods.

The Band of Four has yet to split their latest haul (which would be 6137 gold 5 silver each, after the cost of curse removal is deducted. Plus another 4375 gold, after the guild has a chance to sell the consigned portion). Currently, the initial installment is still in the party's vault.

Swank is also here, disguised as a fisherman. Lindy, Halvar, and Flint are also present. Only Glory and Mittens are absent.

Earlier, Talmut and Jeremiah had discussed going to look for the cat. Halvar and Flint are aware of the plan, but the rest of the group is not. Not yet, anyway.

OOC: Does Talmut or Jeremiah intend to tell Gumphrey and Elodie where they are going? Are they going right away?

Swifthand Sat Dec 07, 2013 7:35 am

"Jeremiah and I left Mittens the cat out in the wilderness - we need to go search for him. Do you want to join us?"

Malazek Sat Dec 07, 2013 7:56 am

"Yeah, of course," answers Gumphrey.

Alpha Omega Sat Dec 07, 2013 10:23 am

"I am ready when you are Talmut."

Glitz Sat Dec 07, 2013 11:24 am

Elodie looks worried when Talmut suggests heading back out immediately. "You all have had your curses removed, but we are still weak from our adventures from earlier today, and almost completely out of potions. Maybe heading back into giant territory immediately isn't the best idea..."

Having voiced her concerns, Elodie sees that Jeremiah and Talmut are determined and concludes, "However, if you all are determined to get the cat back right away, I will assist in any way that I can."

OOC: Swifthand, you were correct. I calculated the time wrong. It is late afternoon (not late morning).

Swank wrote:He remains silent a he listens, as the others decide what to do.

And so ... the party rides off, again, in search of Mittens. The ride back takes a few hours, as usual, but it is otherwise uneventful. The sun is beginning to set behind the Angry Mountains, just as the Scopulus Arx comes into view.

OOC: Chance of Encounter was 20%. I rolled a 63.

As they round the hills, it begins to rain. It's not a heavy downpour, but it is a cold drizzle. Fortunately, the cloaks that Talmut crafted for you are keeping you plenty dry, but the sudden drop in temperature is chilling.

As your horses bring you to the base of the hill, you come across the giant ... face down in the dirt. He appears to be dead.

Glitz Sat Dec 07, 2013 12:56 pm

Elodie slides down off of her horse and approaches the giant. "I wonder what finished him off?"

She will inspect the giant's body and attempt to figure out what the cause of death was.

Healing check: 32 (18 + 14)

Swifthand Sun Dec 08, 2013 7:47 am

Talmur climbs off of Nakkamtu and and starts to wander around, softly calling out for the cat.

"Here, Mittens...."

Elodie finds heavy bruises, broken bones, and severe burns all over the giants body. She quickly determines that the giant was beaten and burned ... possibly by magic.

Talmut wrote:Talmut ... starts to wander around, softly calling out for the cat. "Here, Mittens...."

Almost as soon as the conjurer calls out, Mittens comes bounding toward you. When he reaches Talmut, he slows to a stop and cocks his head back. "Meow?"

Alpha Omega Sun Dec 08, 2013 1:11 pm

Jeremiah will dismount his horse and scoop up mittens.

"Pheww... Lets get back to town."

Glitz Sun Dec 08, 2013 3:22 pm

Elodie paces around the giant, checking for tracks and trying to piece together what happened. She turns to Lindy. "Did you all use any magic when you fought the giant?"

Nature check (tracking): 30 (14 + 16)

Glitz wrote:She turns to Lindy. "Did you all use any magic when you fought the giant?"

"Um, no ... and it ran away, anyway. We didn't kill it. This is about where we fought it, I think, but it ran away ... in ... that direction." As she finishes answering, Lindy points to the southwest, indicating which way the giant had ran.

Elodie wrote:Elodie paces around the giant, checking for tracks and trying to piece together what happened.

Elodie finds the giant's tracks, running in both directions (to and from the southwest). The tracks end about twenty feet from the corpse, where she also finds the boot-prints of Swank and the assistants. Other than that, there are only the prints of small animals in the area: rabbits, field mice, a few birds, and at least one cat.

Glitz Sun Dec 08, 2013 3:56 pm

"I'm not quite sure what killed this giant," she says. She looks suspiciously at the cat. "Mittens was here, but I don't think anyone else was. Maybe tomorrow I can transform and have a chat with our feline friend. I suppose we can head back to town now." Elodie mounts her horse, ready to leave with the rest of the group.

Alpha Omega Mon Dec 09, 2013 12:19 pm

Jeremiah will lead the party back to the adventurers guild.

OOC: Assuming they make it back to town safely, after the party has reached the Adventurers Guild, he will head directly over to the wizards home.

Swifthand Mon Dec 09, 2013 2:04 pm

Talmut heads back with the others. Upon arrival in town, he will get a bite to eat and then head to his room to write his report to Lady Winter.

19 on the die to write a good report

Malazek Mon Dec 09, 2013 8:04 pm

When the party returns to Umbrafall (well into the evening), Swank is waiting for them by the West Gate. He thanks Elodie for the use of her magical crown and returns it to her. He then tips his hat and says farewell to all of you.
- OOC: 151 has decided that he doesn't have time right now to play. So, he is out.

Talmut wrote:Talmut heads back with the others. Upon arrival in town, he will get a bite to eat and then head to his room to write his report to Lady Winter.

OOC: We'll use Knowledge: History for that roll, so that's 32 total. What sort of information did you want to include? Since you planned to include Elodie's sketch, I assume the mummies will be mentioned in the report. What else? A layout of the dungeon? A description of the flora and fauna?

Jeremiah wrote:Jeremiah ... will head directly over to the wizards home.

When he returns, he finds that the door is still locked.
- OOC: Did he take Mittens with him?

Glitz Mon Dec 09, 2013 8:11 pm

Once the group returns to town, Elodie heads to the inn and attempts to sketch the reptillian statue from the dungeon.

Profession: 9 (5 + 4)

Alpha Omega Tue Dec 10, 2013 7:42 am

Jeremiah will knock on the door to the wizards home.

OOC: Yes, the cat is with me..

Swifthand Tue Dec 10, 2013 3:47 pm

I will include a detailed description of Arx Scopolus: room dimensions, a map, descriptions of the statues, flora/fauna, mummies, and a special note about the magicked squid, highlighting that it still nests there.

Malazek Tue Dec 10, 2013 5:22 pm

Elodie's sketch doesn't live up to her expectations, but she feels it is acceptable.

Talmut wrote:I will include a detailed description of Arx Scopulus: room dimensions, a map, descriptions of the statues, flora/fauna, mummies, and a special note about the magicked squid, highlighting that it still nests there.

After Talmut finishes writing his report, he gives it a quick read through. He is more than satisfied with both the content and the craftsmanship ... but he can't help but feel that Elodie's sketch is "mediocre." In fact, it so unexceptional compared to his own contribution that it seems out of place.

Jeremiah wrote:Jeremiah will knock on the door to the wizards home.

Jeremiah knocks, but there is still no answer. Mittens looks up at him and asks "Meow?"

Alpha Omega Wed Dec 11, 2013 7:57 am

Seeing that the door is still locked, Jeremiah will head back to find Talmut and get the key for the house. He will tuck the cat safely in his bag, leaving a small gap for air to get in.

Assuming Talmut gives him the key, he will head back to the house immediately and let himself in.
