Ebberon DnD 3.5e 8 man party

[GimliFett]

Enyo ir'Bellona

The druid turns and glares at Anju once more. "Honor? Speak not of such to me! Look at my face! Matching burns cover the upper portions of my body. I watched my mother and sister burn while I writhed in agony. AND ALL WE DID WAS FLEE CYRE INTO AUNDAIR! Do not speak of honor to me Aundairian. It was one such as you that did this to a boy of fifteen and his family." A tear rolls down the young druid's nose, dropping off onto the hand that had been sliding slowly towards his scimitar. He shakes the drop from his hand and spins back towards the soldier and the beast master, body quivering in rage.

Enyo inhales deeply with closed eyes before looking once more to the scrap of paper he had been handed. "I can track, yes. I will take a look shortly. As far as this," he waves the torn page, "Maybe there is a cave system below us that connects to the sewers or natural run-offs of the town?"

OOC: I hope you're not taking this personally, Quallia! I'd built the character with issues with Aundairians before I knew anyone in the party was one.

[Qualia]

Anju d'Deneith

The warmage stands speachless, unable or unwilling to respond to the emotional outburst.

OOC: Not at all, it's great fun to have someone to bounce off of :)

Suddenly, Delano realized that he was standing in front of Lucy, gripping his quarterstaff in both hands so hard that his knuckles were turning white. Trying to shake off this unknowing protective act, he speaks calmly to all, "Everyone has their own story here. We're adventurers, are we not? Let us put them aside for right now and try to figure out what's going on. I Once heard that all real adventures begin in Sharn. Do you think that's what they were reffering to, where buildings are many?"

[drum-n-bass]

Hmmmmm... the halfling says pondering they may be referring to there. I would suggest it as a first starting point to look at, then if you don't find them maybe we try somewhere else. I will stay here in case anything happens around here and if i hear of any news i will report to you guys with my owl familiar. To make you passage faster i will get you guys tickets to the mainland and lightning rail tickets to Sharn, but that is all i can do.

[ColonelFuster]

"Very good. Troops, are we ready to be stereotypical adventurers?" Delano looks entirely too pleased at this prospect.

[Slamexo]

Turning her attention away from stroking the dogs, Lucy (who didn't notice Delano's protective stance earlier), gives him an unbias look.

"Meh, as long as this job pays well, I'm ready and willing."

[lukfugl]

"I promised to make those responsible taste my wrath, and so they shall. Though I must say I don't look forward to the trip back to the mainland." Jamben's face is already slightly pale at the prospect.

[Qualia]

Anju d'Deneith

The warmage turns to Jamben

"Have courage friend, none can stand against a righteous warrior following the path of righteousness."

[lukfugl]

Jamben laughs weakly. "Oh no. It's not any enemy or opposition that I fear. Rather the sea itself. And even then, I don't fear for my life, only my lunch," he says with a resigned smile.

[Sucrose]

Walter

...I'll have to get Miss Molly a very nice gift...

Walter sighs, then grins and nods.
"All right, I'm all for it. Friend, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd find some work at the pub where you found us. I imagine that they'll be wanting a little help."

[GimliFett]

Enyo ir'Bellona

The young druid shrugs, then calls out loudly as he holds a heavily gloved arm outstretched. "Procella!" Shortly thereafter a screech sounds from above as a dark-feathered eagle soars down and lands upon Enyo's arm. He gives it a piece of meat from his belt pouch. "We are ready."


OOC: Drum-n-Bass, I meant to ask previously. You mentioned "1st and a half level. Does that mean we have 500 xp?

[ColonelFuster]

"Away we go then!" Delano smiled and snapped, his dogs following behind.

[drum-n-bass]

As everyone boards the ship, you see him wave you off. Getting to the mainland you go forth on your expedition to mror holds for the lightning rails.

I will move this game faster. by skipping boring parts i dont want to describe

You find that the place the note was talking about was in Xendrix. Now in Stormreach, What do you do.

im sorry for the lack of dm ing in this game

i hope you will forgive me

[ColonelFuster]

"Well, here we are. If you don't mind, i'm going to gather some of the local rumors to see if there's any activity from our friends." Delano smiled at them. On the long trip, everyone had gotten to know each other pretty well, right? No duels to the death? Because it looks like we're playing Diablo, here.

Once the party arrives in Stormreach, Jamben announces drearily to the rest, "Well, we've found my new home, it appears. It doesn't look like much, but I suppose I can get used to a frontier town. I just cannot bear the thought of getting on another boat to go back home. I'm going to go recover with a pint of ale in yon tavern."

With that, the halfling makes his uneasy way into the tavern. "One pint of ale to start with, please." Onc ehe has his drink, Jamben decides he can try and gather any information he can about their quarry as well.

Gather Information: (1d20+1)[14]

OOC: What exactly did we learn in between the Lhazaar Principalities and here? Particularly, do we have any more information about the responsible parties that would aid us in gathering specific information?

[GimliFett]

Enyo ir'Bellona

Over the course of the trip, Enyo's attitude improved greatly towards everyone except Anju, to whom he was no longer openly hostile, anyway.

"It is said that long ago a minor Winter occured here in Xen'drik. It was an apocalypse that destroyed their civilization. Perhaps we can learn from it?"


OOC: Drum-n-Bass, I meant to ask previously. You mentioned "1st and a half level." Does that mean we have 500 xp?

[Slamexo]

Lucy Brickstone

Looking around at people wandering off and talking to each other, Lucy, not having really made the aquaintances of the others on the ship, decided to search the area for any rumours that might intrest her: ones about metals, blueprints, mysterious weapons and the like.

"Well, you guys can go do whatever, I'm going to go look for some stuff that might intrest me. I'll see you all in a bit!"

Then she heads off in to town in search of new materials and the like.

Anju d'Deneith

Over the course of the journey, the warmage would attempt to portray himself as some kind of military hero and potential leader. He will do his best to try and 'out-gentleman' the druid in a one upmanship competition.

Spoiler

Though how successful he is and whether Enyo ir'Bellona joins in is yet to be determined.

He will seek to get alongside Lucy and determine the extent of her smithing knowledge, and whether she would be willing, and able, to craft him a weapon befitting a warmage.

On arrival in Stormreach, Anju will seek to organise some accomodation for the group. Obviously Enyo's room will be next to/over the privy :)

[lukfugl]

OOC: You still there, drum-n-bass?

[drum-n-bass]

hmmm i was hoping for more roleplaying but i guess i have to deal with it
i will have something up later i still need to add to what i have

[lukfugl]

OOC: Sorry. Speaking for myself, I'm a little lost as to what I'm supposed to be roleplaying. Particularly, I'm not sure what we do or do not know at this point that would be driving our actions.

[drum-n-bass]

well i would like for you guys to be communicating with one another, maybe state if you are going to a tavern, whats its name, if you start talking to people, if you do something really bizarre
just try to be your character and play him out as a character i would rather not have me to say what is going to happen next i would rather the characters move it forward not me

[lukfugl]

I understand. I don't have a problem roleplaying my character out, but I'm feeling at a loss as to what my character knows that's motivating him in this place. We jumped from "headed to the mainland to continue investigating", to "ok, you found out the place from the note is in Xendrik". But we don't know *what* we learned that told us it was in Xendrik; I suspect our characters have some clue what to be asking about in taverns and such, but we as players don't. That makes it kind of difficult...

[drum-n-bass]

ok i will give you info tomorrow i am busy with stuff tonight
sorry for the waiting

[GimliFett]

Looking forward to getting more details. Sorry for lack of posts!
