Aelyn, Half-elven warlock
Aelyn hears Rexacor's comment and nods, "I'm planning on going back down in a moment to do just that. Information is always a good thing to have."
Once he finishes unpakking his belongings he goes back down the stairs and begins to speak with some of the locals, hoping to find out what can be done nearby to earn respect and reward. He doesn't speak with the old man or the man in the blue robes, but he does try to listen in on their conversation while he's sitting nearby.

Re: [4E] Keep on the Shadowfell, party of six [IC]
Disappointed, Tarin continues around town with his minder. He asks about Valthrun and Eilan and the Kobolds they'd encountered, but he seems much more halfhearted about the exploration. Mostly he just watches the town and looks at the moon and sighs. Partly at being forced away from the forest and partly at his own ineptitude in sneaking in tonight.

Re: [4E] Keep on the Shadowfell, party of six [IC]
Aelyn overhears the old man, and the man in the blue robes talking in hushed tones, most of it seems to be gossip. The older man, in peasants clothing does most of the talking. The robed man asks questions from time to time, but not much else.
Finally, something of interest comes up:
The elderly farmer scratches his stubbley beard:
Tell me Valthrun, do you think that uh...sealed rift might not be so sealed anymore? The kobolds have been so strange lately.
The man, apparently Valthrun responds:
I doubt that very much, in any case we shouldn't speak of that. We don't want a panic.
----------
Tarin continues walking about town, making awkward small talk with the escort.
Valthrun is the town sage, and scholar. He spends most of his time in his tower.
Eilan is an old farmer, and a bit of a historian...and more than a bit of a gossip.Currently playing as:

Resh, Dragonborn Paladin of Bahamut
By this time, Resh has said his goodbyes with Madame Staul and has arrived at the inn where he is now attempting to gather information from the innkeeper.
"Good Madame, I am hoping that you could tell me who in town could inform me of Douven Staul's studies other than his wife?"

Re: [4E] Keep on the Shadowfell, party of six [IC]
Emra decides to turn in for the night. It seems that her companions have the gathering of information covered, and she feels rather tired. She bids good night to her nearby comrades and the innkeeper, then heads to her room for sleep.

Rexacor, Dragonborn Warlord
Rexacor leaves his weapons and armour in the room, and puts on a simple gray tunic and trousers. He then goes downstairs, and looks for an older person who could tell him something about the history of the town, and especially the kobolds living nearby.
SpoilerKaras, do I need to make a check to get some information? If so, what skill should I use?
In any case, I rolled an [11], plus whatever the skill modifier for the appropriate skill is.Last edited by Lord Herman; 2008-07-30 at 09:05 AM.

Re: [4E] Keep on the Shadowfell, party of six [IC]
Salvana Wrafton looks up from her desk.
Hmm? Oh, you must be with the others. I think he talked with Valthrun a bit, and probably Lord Padraig, and Eilan probably pestered him about it. Valthrun has the blue robs, the Lord is rather obvious of course, and Eilan is the old farmer...probably bothering Valthrun.
-------------------------------
Rexacor changes into more civilian like clothes, and talks to some of the peasants about the kobolds.
One of the peasants, a large man named Thiai talks to Rexacor about them.
So, you had a run in with the kobold brigands? Annoying little dragon droppings! We've always had a few in the area, but they've really grown bold lately. Some of the traders have stopped coming, and I'm afraid others will if the attacks don't stop.
Another man, a merchant named Bairwin also chimes in:
They have made it a habit to bother travelers on the old King's Road. And yes, what was one a minor annoyance has been becoming a very real threat to the village commerce. Fewer and fewer travelers come our way these days, and even I have a harder and harder time keeping my shop stocked with the finest goods. I remember a trip I made to Clovermarsh once, the village was infested with them because they never fought back. I hope our kobolds...well, they aren't ours really of course, but I hope they don't get more bold or we'll have problems!
SpoilerIt is indeed Streetwise, giving you a total of 14

Re: [4E] Keep on the Shadowfell, party of six [IC]
Tarin dreams fitfully, haunted by images of a kobold flood pouring from the forest that was his home; of houses turning into bars, forming a cage that collapses on him; of his parent's faces distorted and raised as undead.

"Milord" he nods respectfully. "I am Resh, Paladin of Bahamut. I was wondering if I may have a word with you about a friend of mine, Douven Staul. He seems to have gone missing and, as the official of this town, I was hoping that you may have some clues as to his whereabouts."

Re: [4E] Keep on the Shadowfell, party of six [IC]
Well then! I've never heard anyone accuse the Dragonborn of being subtle. Paladins neither. But then, sometimes it is best to be direct. I believe he went missing about..oh say, about a week ago. I've been trying to rouse a militia, but the townfolk say the guard is sufficient, but aren't brave enough to look for him themselves. Here, I'll draw you a map to the dragon tomb..a bit simple I'm afraid, my cartography skills were never quite up to date. I hope you find him! I've never been there myself, but I know the general area where it is.
By the by, if I can also make it worth your while if you'd...take care of the kobolds for me. Anything the kobolds have is yours, along with a 100 gold piece commission.Currently playing as:

I thank you kindly, milord. If we manage to stumble upon the kobolds, I give you my word they will wish they had chosen another region to terrorize. Have a good night."
Resh once again bows and then heads to his chosen room, after asking the innkeeper which it was, to have a good night's sleep.
----------
Come dusk, Resh is the first to awaken and round up the party, knocking gently on the doors at first, then loudly if no answer comes.

Re: [4E] Keep on the Shadowfell, party of six [IC]
Tarin wakes from his fitful sleep and heads, a little more confidently, into town. Remembering the inn from his tour with the guard, and hoping that it will be less.. claustrophobic in the early morning, he heads inside to look for his friends.

"...and I believe that we will be able to find him with no problem at all. Also, he asked if we could look into the kobold situation while we were out. He's offering 100 gold for the job."

Re: [4E] Keep on the Shadowfell, party of six [IC]
Tarin looks uneasy, but makes his way over to the table with his companions. In spite of the awkwardness of his surroundings, he heartens visibly to be among friends.
"It looks like you were far more productive than me. Hopefully Douven has stayed well clear of this dragon."
Realizing that this is largely why they came into Winterhaven, Tarin brightens further.
"It will be good to be in the wilds again. If we lose our way, I might even be able to make up my usefulness in getting us to our quarry"

The party sets out, bright and early into the wilderness again. Tarin seems somewhat relieved to be back in the wild again. As the party walks down the road, the elf suddenly looks to the road ahead.

The dark green areas represent thick foliage, which provides lightly obscured concealment and cover for individuals attacking into, or out of those areas. They also count as difficult terrain.
The grey parts indicate boulders, which can be climbed with a DC 15 Athletics check, and it uses 4 squares of movement.

Two questions while i'm thinking about my turn
Do the boulders block LOS?
Are the kobolds aware of us?
I'm guessing the answer to both of these questions is yes, but if not I may change my actions around.

Tarin Bijon, Elf Ranger
Seeing the signs of an ambush, Tarin moves off the road towards the bushes and lets two arrows fly, hoping that the trees are kind to him. He calls back to the rest of the party:
"Steel yourselves friends!"
Move Action: 3 squares to the right, 7 squares up, just behind the bushes.
Minor Action: Hunters Quarry on the closer Dragonshield
Standard Action: Twin Strike on the closer Dragonshield.
Twin Strike Attack (1d20+6)[26] , (1d20+6)[17]
Twin Strike Damage (1d10+1)[9] (critical for 11) , (1d10+1)[7]
Hunter's Quarry Damage (1d6)[1]
Spoiler
Would it be possible to get a grid on the map so it's easier to specify locations and such. (If you're willing to trust us, maybe even edit permission on the spreadsheet so we can move ourselves)
