Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
After Tysalat heals people, and explains what happens. You all retire for the night. You wake up the morning and go down into the common area there is a few patrons and the innkeeper serving people.
"On another note, good job, Stormageddon; planting the seeds of doubt and mistrust now will go a long way towards culturing an atmosphere of paranoia and neuroticism, perfect for any evil masterminding which your devious plans might require; it hearkens backs to the hoary days when E.G. Gygax himself strode among us." - White Drake Under The Red Sky Campaign

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Tyslalat
Tyslalat sees how Maechus is holding his arm. Let me take care of that first.
Tyslalat invokes the healing of the lord and touches his arm. That should do it.
They didn't say an awful lot. They were thankful and spoke of some legend of creatures that call themselves the messengers that work for the banished one, but we can speak of this tomorrow.
They also gave us some gold and I will share that with the party tomorrow.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Caelain groans and rouses himself from his rest.
Well at least I was not woken by Tybalt seeking breakfast... Oh no...
Caelain rushes over to the corpses and discovers that a good chunk of the rats' innards are missing.
I guess I should have expected that... Stupid cat.
Caelain stumbles over to the furry lump atop the wagon and prods at it a couple times. Tybalt opens one eye and regards Caelain with a bored expression for a moment before stretching and slinking down from his ersatz bed.
I suppose I should meet with the others... I need to stop doing this; I am exhausted... At least I have good notes.
Caelain staggers out into the pale morning light, headed for the inn.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Kona emerged from her room in a far better state than that in which she had entered it; her flames were burning high and with them her spirits. She entered the common room with a wide smile on her face, obtaining breakfast from the innkeeper and intercepting Caelain as he staggered into the room.
Morning! How did things go with the keepers? And whatever it was you were doing with that kobold? All well, I hope.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Upon hearing Kona and Tysalat, Caelain's head jerks up from the ground and he manages to get out of his stupor... kinda.
I'm fine... I learned a lot from my dissections... Just a bit tired... Please tell me this godforsaken place has coffee...
Caelain stumbles past them in the general direction of the counter. Tybalt throws a reproachful look at Caelain and begins to wind around Tysalat's and Kona's ankles purring, as if in apology for his companion's lack of social grace.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Tysalat
Tysalat smiles at the cat.
I informed the keepers of the events, our actions and findings and they were thankful and presented me with 200 gp and said there was some legend about something called messangers, but they were unsure of more.
Tysalat puts the bag of gold on the table. 40 gold each i assume.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Caelain slowly walks back over to the party with his hands wrapped around his coffee cup.
Although my mental capabilities are still functioning somewhat below capacity, I receive the answer fifty upon dividing the two-hundred gold pieces amongst the four of us that were present in the crypt.
Upon saying this, he bends down to pet Tybalt. Tilting his head back up towards Kona, he continues.
The dissections went well, thank you for asking. Is the food here any good?
He ponders his half-empty cup for a moment before murmuring,
I will need more coffee, too...Last edited by White_Drake; 2013-05-21 at 04:33 PM.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
"So the messengers are some kind of organization?" Maechus flipped to the next page of his book without looking up. "That makes about as much sense as the ghoul being a literal messenger, I suppose. Especially since they did an awful job conveying any actual message other than 'die.'"
The chapter on maintaining proper stance and footwork; just what he was looking for. Perhaps it had some sort of provision for being attacked by the undead. "So, what's the plan, then? If nobody at the table knows about the messengers, and the Keepers do not know, is it even worth asking arou-oh, so that's what they meant by that..." He looked up, closing his book. "Sorry. Like I was saying, perhaps our time would be better served if we continued on our way to New Orcus. It's more likely to have information on something like this. Not to mention, we still have a caravan to bring in."Totally awesome avatar by Cuthalion.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
I agree with Maechus. We gain nothing by remaining here, and the people in New Orcus go hungry. Perhaps once we reach the city we can check its libraries for any mention of these "messengers".

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Kona had to fight to stop her jaw from dropping at the figure Tysalat named. She'd been given three gold and a mess of silver on setting out and it had been more money than she'd seen at once in her entire life and here they were speaking casually about ten times as much. She found her eyes lingering on the coin pouch as she spoke, images of massive piles of gold passing strangely through her mind.
Yes, right. We should move on. Of course.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Caelain looks mournfully at the small stack of gold on the table before sweeping it into his purse.
Well, it's nothing compared to what I had back in Oston, but it's a start.
With the caffeine working in his system, Caelain has finally regained some of his usual composure. He strolls up to the counter.
Barkeep! I will have whatever dish you are serving for breakfast, and another cup of coffee.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Kona scoops up her pile of coins almost immediately and deposits them in various places in her backpack and coin purse.
I'll get the carts ready to travel.
Kona heads out to the stables to make ready.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Caelain meticulously wipes his fingers clean with a pocket handkerchief before replacing it in his coat and rising from his seat.
Is everyone prepared for departure?

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Maechus had his nose once again buried in his book, reading up on the points he had already pored over many times since his adventure began. "Ready as I'll ever be, I suppose. I'll suppose I'll be taking the reins once more."
Maechus stepped out to the stables, giving the horses a quick glance before moving up to one of them. "We'll be in New Orcus soon. I'd appreciate it if you would behave until then." With a sigh, he alighted the cart, taking the reins. "Shall we be off, Miss Briggs?"

Absolutely.
Kona climbed aboard another of the carts and took up the reins.
Let's get going.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
As we submitted the hill, my eye fell on the city New Orcus for the first time in the morning sun. For the first time I saw beauty in the ways of the surface dwellers. No words of mine could truly do justice to the dazzling display of New Orcus in the early hours of the morning. Lights danced and colors without name came to life and died unnamed. New Orcus our last line of defense against the enemy. Hopefully the lights of the city will not blind those within as the enemy reaches their gates.
-High Emperor Tomack of Abany
Your journey south is met without challenge. You travel through the forest and up a hill coming to the top you see below you the City of New Orcus. It is mid-day now. You see a beautiful city with huge white walls. Three skyscrapers stand out amount the city. You make your way down the hill. As the hill levels out you see metallic post spaced out at 50 yard intervals that do not seem to have a purpose.
You pass between them and reach the outline farms of the city. The farms are small and the fields dirt is dry and cracked.
You finally reach the gates just before dinner time. Their is a squad of blackblades guarding the gates. They do not take an interest in you carts as they roll through.
You see the a bustling city of all sorts of people walking about. People selling wares just inside the gate. You are struck by the noise of people haggling, chatting, and debating about local politics."On another note, good job, Stormageddon; planting the seeds of doubt and mistrust now will go a long way towards culturing an atmosphere of paranoia and neuroticism, perfect for any evil masterminding which your devious plans might require; it hearkens backs to the hoary days when E.G.

Caelain smiles; he is back in his element.
Do we have any specific location this shipment is to be delivered unto?

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
As the city came into view Kona stared in open amazement. It was by far the largest city she had ever seen. On seeing the small farmlands she is torn between pity for their sorry state and pride that her home was so much larger and more productive. In the end her petty side won out and she bore a large grin as she passed through the fields. Within the gates her point of focus is in constant motion as she tries to absorb everything about her. Caelain's speech
does recall her attention though, as she remembers that there are still tasks to complete.
We could ask around. Vaul likely had some sort of contact who he was meant to deliver to, it can't be too hard to find who it is.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Tylsalat
Tylsalat looks at the city laid out before them. He has yet to be in any settlement nearly this size and wonders what it will be like.
That sounds like a good idea, though I am inclined to believe we should avoid telling people Vaul is dead at first.

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Maechus rubbed his eyes with one hand. Finally, New Orcus. The end of this whole rigamarole was in sight. Maybe now his luck might turn around, and his quest might take a few right turns. "I disagree, Mister Tysalat. We gain nothing by hiding Sir Vaul's fate, and it occurs to me that perhaps we should bring ourselves to the authorities as soon as possible and let them know the caravan's fate. It is more than likely that they should be able to help us locate our employer, or at least point us in the direction of where the trade caravans do their business. Frankly, the sooner we can unburden ourselves of this contract, the sooner we can get on with our lives."

Re: "Under the Red Sky" IC Pathfinder E6
Kona hadn't considered deception on the part of whoever they asked, but on consideration it fit perfectly with all the warnings her family and neighbors had given her about the city.
Wel we should be safe enough asking the Black Blades, right? We could start there.
Kona gestured to the nearest guard as she spoke.
