Kross Words

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

We are taken to the lady’s waiting room. We find Julienne there with the Regent awake. The Regent sends the other away (except the Captain of the guards).  We take a seat. She thanks us for getting her on her feet.

Julienne got into the Regent’s room and surprised Bob. He had knocked her out. Julienne had found out that Bob had visited the temple for the post 150 to 200 years (by discription from the temple records).

The Captain asked why we on the grounds. Told that we were summoned by 4 palace guards (maybe on the side of the Lord Marshall).

We are going to pay a visit to the Lord Marshall. Will give Julienne 15 min to get to the Regent’s son. We are talking with the Regent while we wait.

We go. The Regent leads the way with her 8 guards and her Captain, with us behind them.

We see a maid that is Julienne, the Regent nods to her and Julienne leaves.

The Regent has a sturn look on her face and is getting some looks as she goes. Get to the door and open it directly.

The Captain walks in, the Lord Marshall (sitting at the desk) says “What is the meaning of . . . “. The Regent walks in with the guards.  “My Lady, how may I help you?” We knotice he is stressed. We walk in. (There are 6 guards are in and 2 are outside at the door.)

There is some talking between the Lord Marshall and the Regent. The Regent defers to us for what he he had for orginal summoned us for.  There is a slight pause before the Lord Marshall starts talking. ** From Jarlyn does his Detect Evil and see the Lord Marshall is EVIL and there is some evil in the floors below. ** Perrol is talking with the Lord Marshall.

Suddenly there is darkness. (Made my Perception roll.)
