"I'll be there in a minute," Thelia said, "Gunnar is also wounded."
After she cast a cure on Gunnar, she went to the new guy to check his wounds and also cast a cure spell.

"Thanks," Thelia said to Raziel, accepting the cup of tea. When it was finished, she looked at the others.
"I'm quite done for the day," she said, "I'm going to sleep. See you guys back tomorrow morning."

"Thanks, Haziel" says Morgran... He sips the tea, feeling the warm liquid lower down the adrenaline. "I've been traveling for days, looking for Khedrum Valley ... I heard that the barbarian tribes are gathering a tournament in honor of Uthgard and Tempus, so I decided to join it. At the late afternoon, I could see the tents at distance and decided to travel at night to arrive as soon as possible, that's when the pack intercepted me. Thanks for your friends here, the beasts gave up on turning me into dinner. By the way, is it about this tournament that you are referring yourself? he says, directing to Sarah his question.

"Yeah, it is." - Gunnar interjects - "We came from a long way for this tournament... It sure is serendipitous that you have the same destination that we do. But then again... Why would you be walking round these parts if not for this tourney?"
Gunnar is getting ready for his watch as he speaks - "If you're alone, why don't you join us on the tournament? You surely can hold your own in a scrap."Last edited by amanamana; 2019-11-09 at 12:02 AM.

"Good Haela! Since I would ask you about joining the group, until we get there ... I am grateful to accept your invitation, if everyone agrees...". He answers, looking at the members of that group, feeling his luck changing a little.

Re: Tales of the Library: A rocky business, The Brutes, the Cunnings and the Wise[3.5
Raziel seems honest, indeed as confirmed by our new companion we are very near, below the valley it should be the barbarian encampment, I am not sure if we have reached the place in time or not, but from my calculation it should start in few days he tried to explain to you while scratching his beard.
Raziel looks puzzled at Morgran, that is very convenient, but I will not refuse any help, we will need it very much. he smiles at you with relief.
I agree with Gunnar, please accept our invitation we might need your muscles.. ehm your abilities he corrects himself very quickly
It is late in the evening, all of you are feeling tired, after having a little chat and a laugh all of you are caught in a deep sleep and wake up rested.
The next morning Alth comes back with some hunted food, he gathers some berries, mushrooms, and manage to hunt a grouse. after all of you have checked the edibility of the food you manage to prepare a delicious breakfast, you pack your things and resume your journey.
It is late in the morning when you manage to arrive in the Barbarian encampment. Kord and Uthgard flags can be seen from distance, there are an at least more than a hundred, for sure this tournament will not be unseen. The place consists of countless tents surrounded by a wooden stockade, there are two main gates, the north gates, and the south gates, you are coming from the south gates.
Two barbarians are standing tall near this gate, both of them are very muscular and their bodies are covered with pelts and furs, both of them are covered with scars, one of them has a great axe, while the other has two bastard swords, they both looks at the group and stop their eyes on Thelia and Sarah, then they move to inspect Gunnar, Morgran, Jeremi, Raziel, and Alth.
What do we got here... two participants and their servants, if you are here for the tournament then go and speak with our chieftain Amire, if you are here as artisans then go to the quartermaster Armug
they move aside and let you pass.

Re: Tales of the Library: A rocky business, The Brutes, the Cunnings and the Wise[3.5
"Okay..." - Gunnar seems puzzled by the guard's remark. As they walk past them and enter the tourney grounds, he turns to the elves - "They seem to think the two of you are the actual competitors... Maybe they regard elves more than the rest of us or they were expecting some elf delegation... Or maybe there's some archery competition about to happen or something like that. Either way, let's keep that in mind. We may be able to exploit this in some manner."

"I hope they don't expect us two to participate alone," Thelia said, "I'm certainly not the best fighter in this group. If it's a knowledge tournament, I'm more capable of course."

Re: Tales of the Library: A rocky business, The Brutes, the Cunnings and the Wise[3.5
Let us escorts you to your place, where you can place your tent. says one of the guards and he starts to guide you through the encampment
You enter the camp, it is full of tents, a lot of fireplaces, people are singing, dancing celebrating rites saying prayers, a lot of flags are blowing in the wind
Spoiler: Knoledge local CheckPlease roll this check, consider also the bonuses
a lot of barbarians are preparing for the upcoming tournament, somebody is maintaining his armor, someone is trying his spells, some groups are brawling, some of them are practicing with the bow. The atmosphere is relaxed and joyful even though the competition is skyrocketing.
Spoiler: Knowledge Arcanaplease roll this skill to check to identify spells
Some of the barbarians have big scars, some of them have runes painted on their bodies while others have tattoos.
Among them a tribe where the women are practicing for battles while men are preparing tents and foods, a woman glares intensely to Gunnar, while a female dwarf glare to Morgran, both of you fell flattered.
while you move within the small pathway you starts to feel overwhelmed by the barbarian presence around here, an ominous thought is rising in your mind, even though this trip from Fireshear to here has strenghten you, you are no match for them.
Spoiler: Level upFull hit dice and please prepare the new character sheet, also keep the sheets in the Out of Character trheads

Re: Tales of the Library: A rocky business, The Brutes, the Cunnings and the Wise[3.5
Thelia followed the guards, looking around and trying to identify as much as possible. She was delighted by the new things she saw, Always trying to expand her knowledge. But she really needed to know what was going on before they started the tournament.
Spoiler: OOC rolls
knowledge(local): (1d20+4)[16]
knowledge(arcana): (1d20+4)[10]
I don't remember any bonusses, so I don't think they're for me. I've just used the +4 I have on my sheet (the same for both rolls), so if I have extra bonusses, please just add them in.

Re: Tales of the Library: A rocky business, The Brutes, the Cunnings and the Wise[3.5
Looking and inspects all the blowings flags reveal that this tournament will be participated only by four barbarian tribes: Great Worms, Gray Wolf, Sky Raven and Sky Pony this camp has been set up by Great Worms tribes and you can recognize warriors serving as guards. from your books, you remember that only Great Worms are a trustworthy clan while the other three clans are not saints either scum.
there are also flags of Uthgard and Tempos, and some of the barbarians are problably part of the clergy of both deities.
Sarah notice that everything is out of the ordinary here the barbarians are loud and are chaotic some of them are fighting and brawling some of them are drunk.
Spoiler: OOCI will also consider the role as spellcraft
some people are practicing with illusion spells or invocation spell, just one of them is performing necromancy, while the tattoos hold magical power and probably could be activated, you are interested in those tattoos, maybe you can get one somewhere around.
you walk silently until you reach a tent, the two guards stop and show you a tent, is big enough for everyone also it is bigger on the inside, it is finely furnished, there are comfortable beds and even a sofà, there is a fire burning in the center of the tent and there is enough food for all of you.
Well Gunnar, what can I say, you shouldn't feel discouraged, maybe just give it a shot, first of all lets check the tournament rules and the prizes, we are here for the Stone, don't forget it we will find a way to have it He pauses takes his pipes, light it and a big smoke puff emerges from his lips
Of course you need to equip yourself and prepare, I've got something for you all, please gather around he moves towards Oscar and opens a crate, inside there are exotic-looking goods
take some of them, barbarian doesn't value coin or gold, I've done my researches and this should be enough to grant you a bargaining power of around 3000 gold coins he hands you some small crates with incense, minerals and piece of dark wood
Spoiler: Coinyou get Exotic good, these are not money and can be spent only here as a value of 3000 gp
now whoever would like to follow me, i will go to find some information he takes a small letters from his chest and heads for the exit

Thelia shivered as she noticed the necromancy. She was less and less sure of what was going on here. She also wondered what exactly they were casting and tried to figure it out, especially the necromancer.

When Raziel handed them the goods, she was astonished.

"Going down with honour? Yikes... I'd rather not go down. Honourably or otherwise." - He smirks a little - "How about winning or getting off easy? That sounds way better to me."
Getting closer to Raziel, he gets ready to follow. The camp sparked his curiosity and he'll take notes of all the different and unusual things he sees around.
