Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Act 1- The Splitting of the Group
The group begins their journey together along a wide but beat up road. Along the road, they pass many tradesmen carrying goods from Earthsteel to Wintersteel. Near the end of the day, the group reaches the path up the mountain to Earthsteel, however, at the bottom of the path, is a gate and wall. At the gate, there is a bored looking dwarf guard."I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar."

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
During the day as the group is traveling Tralin shares his view of the situation.
"There are forces which are driving us towards Earthsteel so that we may be used as pawns in some game.
The letter received is from Anton Bartolie. A relative and supporter of mine if the letter is to be believed. I will not be working under the assumption that things are as they seem. I have not made my presence known before reaching the town of Wintersteel so it is unlikely that the letter could have reached me unless one of two things has taken place. The first and obvious one is that the letter is a fake. The second is that Anton is an ally but is involved in a higher level of power struggles than I'm currently aware of. Either way the individual will try to use me for his own game. I tell you this as temporary companions you will be subject to the dangers of association.
The other thing to consider is this quest to 'save the family.' Frankly, I have a hard time imaging a situation where a good man could be pressed to attack an inn and commit murder. It isn't like the guy hung back hoping that the others would do the deed. He moved up and attacked. I think that the family >if it exists< is also likely to be tragically flawed. You should prepare yourself for that. I believe that is the hook that has lured the rest of you towards becoming used.
So my advice is that as we move forward we question everything we see and everyone's motives."

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Daigorro laughs. My friend, I hunt necromancers for a living. Nothing is ever as it seems. The dead walk, light is dark, dark is light and the soul suffers. Believe me, I have seen through trials far worse than the machinations of merchants and politicians. He gets a curious look on his face, and then turns to his companions. I do not believe we have been properly introduced! I am known as Daigorro Kelan. I am, as you may have guessed, not particularly fond of necromancers, their servants or their masters. I am an assassin by trade, and an aspiring master of weapons. May I have the pleasure of your names? He removes his hat and performs a dramatic, sweeping bow.

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Kallista curtsies to her decidedly-lethal new friend. "Well met, Daigorro. I am Kallista. I haven't found such a handy title to my job yet, other than adventurer."
Upon reaching Earthsteel, she shouts out to the dwarf guard "Hail, Sir Dwarf! We are but a small band of humble adventurers, seeking entrance to the town!"

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Once through the gates, Daigorro speaks in hushed tones to his companions. So, where do we go from here?

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Don, unable to speak his name, merely sighs. His legs turn into crab legs and he scuttles through the gates. He looks around at the city.

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Wow... It's literally earthsteel DOn thinks as he moves toward the market. He, of course, didn't have any money, but a little window shopping wouldn't hurt. Maybe if he found an old hat or a jar sitting around he could find a container and do a little begging

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
An underground settlement? Oh, but they must have the finest of smithies! Alas, I lack the funds to go weapon shopping. The assassin sighs dramatically.
When he sees Don looking around, he gestures towards him. What ever are you looking for, my untalkative friend?My Homebrew

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Don Triumphantly points at the container for 2gp. He thinks, then decides that it is better not to steal, he didn't want to be driven out of the town that he was supposed to be saving. He digs deep down in his rags, fails to find anything, then digs even deeper and pulls out the two coins. He smacks them down on the table, grabs the container, and finds a good spot out of the way, but still very noticable, to sit.

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
What is he doing? asks Daigorro out loud, to no one in particular. He turns to Tralin and Kallista. I am going to visit the mayor's office, if indeed this town has a mayor, in order to inquire about our deceased outlaw friends and warn him of the danger to the city. I will then go to the local Temple of the Dark Lady to report to the ranking priest there. If anyone wishes to accompany me, they are welcome. Otherwise, I will meet you all at the local tavern tonight, yes?

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Kallista is distracted for a while by the sight of the dwarf-style city, then notices her weird mute companion scrambling around like a beggar and thwacks him lightly on the head with her spear. "Hey, no time for begging. We've got places to go, people to see. If all works out, you won't need to beg anyway." After that, she follows Daigorro.

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Don finds a bunch of scrap pieces of wood, some bent nails, and a badly made hammer. A dwarf approaches Tralin. "Greetings warrior, would you come with me?" He begins to go through the crowd, stops after a moment, turns and beckons for all of you to follow him.

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Ah, some direction at last! exclaims Daigorro in Elven to himself. Then, in Common, Why don't we follow this conveniently helpful dwarf? he asks the rest of the group, and he pulls his cloak tighter around him and moves to follow the dwarf. He has a sudden "eureka" expression, and taps the dwarf on the shoulder. May I have the pleasure of your name, good sir dwarf? I am known as Daigorro, and my companions are Tralin, Kallista and a talented mute who has had trouble conveying unto us his name. He tips his bowler hat and inclines his head.

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
Don writes on the wood and begins making a sign
mute and homeless. Every gp cou-
RAP!
Don reaches up and rubs his head. How come she always does that?...
He picks up his sign and follows after the others, studying the dwarf carefully.
SpoilerInsight: (1d20+2)[9]
At the mention of his lack of name, he spins his sign around and writes on the back
DON HOK
He then points at his name, his arms becoming furry with pride at his ingenuity.Last edited by GreenMuffin; 2010-02-11 at 11:02 PM.

Tralin simply nods and begins to follow waiting for the others to join in as desired. Is the dwarf businesslike, nervous, angry, impatient, etc?

Re: Around the Eye of the Storm Earth Group IC
The dwarf leads you through the crowd into a small tunnel. The tunnel leads to a small residential area. He approaches one of the houses and knocks. "Who is it?"
