Kross Words

Character and players in the game tonight:
Glaive (Janielle), Ghoral (Bill), Jarlyn (Dennis), Perrol (Bob) and Kross (Heath)

We turn back time in the game for some additional game play.

After we leave 4 people to scout the location, we head back to the room.

We find Glaivein the corner, on the bed, legs pulled up to the chest, upset. She is upset, frightened and pissed. The gug looks 25, she said he tought her father. Said he know the magic and martial arts of the Ulronai, when he should not know. Glaive is saying “It is wrong.” Not being a Ulronai and knowing the martial arts and magic is a abomination.

We gear up with the armor and weapons.

We meet up with the scouts and find out the stuff from the last game.

Made Per by 7, there is someone shadowing us as we are we are going to the real Magistrate. Will tell the others and is able to point the guy out. Ghoral will conceal himself as we continue. The guy walks by, Ghoral come out  and grabs hims. Was told to follow us and see if we go to the real Magistrate. Said would report at the location that was scouted, in 2 hours. Off to the side we decide what to do. We tell him the good news and the bad news. We will tie the guy up and give him 5 CP coins (we are not the bad of guys here). He decides to swallow the coins.

We now do not need to go the the real Magistrate office. We can now go directly to the problem.

We find a one story building close by. We climb and stealth (by 9) across the roof. We see one guy actively looking around and is armed with a sword. The other guy is sitting down, but will see a sword handle poking out behind him.

We decide to use the normal arrows and not the blunted arrows. Kross will go back to the top of the building and fire from there. Glaive and Ghoral will team up. Jarlyn and Perrol will team up.

On the top of the roof, Kross will conceal himself (by 4). Kross will be giving the signal to start the battle. Kross will Set and Brace for the a shot. Spotted the close guy ( Per by 8 ), started looking towards Glaive and Ghoral and does not see them. Will fire at both. Hitting both guys,one in the left arm (for 7K damage) and the other guy in the right arm (for 6K damage). The signal has been given for the battle to begin.

Made concealment ( by 8 ) and spotted 4 guys inside. One guy is walking towards the door. Kross will signal the others by the door.

Note: Was not totally clear what was going to be done with the group we captured.

Mid-Morning

Kross will be going to the Mage Academy to do research on the Undead. (1 SP spent to use the library)

The others are going about some personal business.

• Glaive (Janielle) gos off with Ghoral and Perrol. She met up with some earthy type look. The others leave her with the guy.
• Ghoral (Bill) will be going out shopping (looking for something). Runs into his cousin and goes off to get a drink(s).
• Jarlyn (Dennis) will be going off to a temple to learn about resurrection.
• Perrol (Bill) is tagging along Ghoral to pick up another healing potion. Tags along with Ghoral to get a drink(s).

We get back for lunch (all except for Glaive). About midway thru lunch, a Messenger comes over to our table wearing the city colors. Ask if we are willing to meet with the Magistrate at the 2 o’clock hour and talk to him about the cut purse and the pocket thief. A map is drawn on how to get there.  Perrol will go up to the owner’s wife. She is going at 3 o’clock and says that the Magistrate is not needed unless there is a murder. Jarlyn points out that the paints cuff looked dirty, different for the outfit. We take our hand drawn map up and ask her if this is correct way to the Magistrate Office. She says No. The directions would take up to a poorer area / temporary place.

We are looking to hire someone to gave a look at the location. We all go out in the normal dress. For 1.5 SP we find 4 people (2 men / 2 youths).

We tell tell them what we are looking for them to find out:

1. Main Exits
2. Numbers of Exits
3. Type of  roof
4. Surrounding buildings
5. Look inside (if possible)
6. People hanging around

They ask if we have a ball. Say No. Say they can get one for 1 CP. The given to one of the kids and he runs off to get a rag ball.

We send them on their way. While they do that, we armor up. Kross will try to Concealment himself (fail by 3) for when they return. The 2 men come down the street talking normally and a little later the 2 kids appear kicking the ball. We go over what they find out what they found about the building they scouted.

Here is what they found out:

• The building is on a corner.
• The building is two stories tall.
• The roof is slightly tilted.
• On the East side of the building, there is a large gap (wide alley, fit horse card) between the two building. (The other building is two stores.)
• On the North side of the building, the building are close together, there is small gap alley and a possible exit door. (The other building has slanted roof.)

****

Note: We need to check out the real Magistrate office and see if is still in use. Also, maybe check with the real City Guard and tell them what is going on.

We head back to the room.

Perrol says that someone in the room. We notice nothing missing or added.

Glaive notice there are some skuff marks around Perrol’s stuff. Can not find anything else.

We go down to dinner. Glaive does a few songs and a tail or too.

About 20 min into Perrol songs, there is a brite flash of light (looks like the lighting strike that struck the chimney from before), from what looks like Perrol’s lute. Perrol is smoking and convulting on the ground. Kross is looking over the crowd. (Made roll by 9) See a table with some student mages. They are looking around themselves.

Kross will give Glaive a healing potions for healing of 3 Body. We have heard stories of assassins using these types of magic attacks.

Kross, Ghoral and Glaive goes over to the 3 student mages and asks some questions about what happened. Not complex magic, someone with some talent and normal intelligence, Journeyman Level mages, about half hour to set up, could study the needed spells.

Spend 2 SP for the room/food.

We do normal watches with 4 of us for the night. Nothing happens.

While others go down to the morning meal, Kross will stay with Perrol.  Perrol wakes up. He is asking what happened. Kross will tell him what happened.

During some down time, will go the Mage Academyto do some research on the Undead. (Will cost 1 SP a day to use the library.)

Its dinner time. We will all come down, including Perrol will come for dinner. Full house. Goes quiet for a few seconds when seeing Perrol. (Made Per by 3 and Streetwise by 2.) We all come together at the table, Pickpocket A, Cut Purse B , C is by door with blackjack and D has a hidden stiletto (5 ft from C, near the door). We are making a plan of attack. Kross is going to go over to theif D.

Perrol stares down C.
Kross will Vital Strike D for 6 NND Stun damage which dazes him.

<Battle over.>

Will give back what they stole.

The town guard is called. D is able to talk himself out of being arrested. Perrol has a few words and scares him away.

The inn keeper offers his thanks and 3 nights of free room and food.

After dinner we go up to the room. Perrol says that part of Glaive’s pack is glowing. Its ends up being the silver mirror that Glaive kept from Wickshine that is glowing.

The night passes.

We come down to get some breakfast.

A Mage Post Grad Student  (Professor Robes) and a Priest of the Skyfather (Mathious) walk into a bar, looks around, spots us and walks over to use. We offer them a seat, they wait for us to finish our food. They say have done some research. Found out there is no name for the religion and the evil god has no name.

The stone translates from a old dead language:

Lyca d’Rn’grn-krol n’frok,
(The wicked shrine in ruins,)
Ovrin d’ather-shlam,
(A shelter for the road-weary.)
Krachen ix esteny.
(A storm sets the course.)
Lyc’vothan-krol hoeth athen.
(A faithful heart points the way.)
O’skaldy, o’mogrn
(Over fire, beyond the smoke,)
Atreck covern athen.
(The enemy finds the path.)

The Priest says the coins and the urn have been destroyed.

The evil ones were killed off before they got a foothold (or so they thought). The evil ones had attacked elves and dworfs, before man came to the area.
They thank us for bring this to their attention. With enought followers a god can cross over into our plane. Perrol says that he see that a item is glowing. The item is shows them the Silver Mirror. The Mage says the mirror is magic and with a simple activation it could hide other magic item or rituals from being detected. (-6 to detect in game turms.)
