Duvik's Pass level 1 adventure IC

[Parlity]

The footpath to Duvik's Pass leaves the the heavily wooded bank of the river Trell. It climbs up the steep valley. When the trees thin out, you see other travelers on the path. The rooftops of the stone houses in Duvik's Pass are visible in the distance.

Quarion Amakiir

Spoiler

Your mentor's friend Lannonon talks into the air, "I'll send Quarion alone. One hour." Turning to you, he says, "I'm called back to town. Here," He reaches into his backpack and hands you a potion and a scroll case. "Mage armor. Lesser vigor. Take care of yourself. Stop this disease. We don't want it spreading further than Duvik's Pass." He swiftly shapeshifts into an elf-sized eagle and takes off.

Spoiler

Your mentor's friend gives you 1 potion of mage armor and a scroll case with 6 scrolls of lesser vigor. Without ranks in spellcraft, you can cast read magic to decipher the writing.

Duvik’s Pass has little recent history associated with it. It was a major fortification between warring kingdoms over 50 years ago. The river Trell and its tributaries here are unnavigable because of past magical battles. The pass is infrequently used. Goblins live in the woods and mountains in small family groups. They rarely cause trouble to armed travelers.

Zom

Zom walked with a stride of arrogance and almost a gleeful like step. It had been to long since he had taken on a difficult mission and was enjoying the thrill before the challenge, He reached up and for a moment he removed his goggles so that he could rub his eyes. He quickly re-dawned the goggles he growled menacingly at the light. It how ever did not dampen his good mood so he continued on towards his goal.

[dragonsamurai77]

Quarion heads toward the cave rather cautiously, knowing that others would be better suited for being in front. He loads an arrow on his bow, ready for anything to happen. His animal companion walks beside him. Quarion examines the scrolls carefully, knowing that he will have to save them for when the time is right.

Who will carry a light source?

Ilztas

Spoiler

You see travelers on the footpath.

[zagan]

Glist

Glist stop in his track upon seeing someone tunr into an eagle and flew off. He think to himself "Wow, I've heard about it but never seen it before. It's impressive."
Once he calm down he continue on his way toward the other traveller wondering if he knew anything about the problem at the mine.
"Hello stranger, my name is Glist please to met you. I'm going to Duvik's pass you too ?"

[Zefir]

After Terra saw this shift he ran to the man who talked to the away flying eagle.

"Hey you! Who was this man? He is a shapeshifter right? How can i get to him, because I need to ask him some questions."

[Anders Celsius]

Ilztas, of the house of Arkenett, walks down the path with his sight pointed low, to avoid the sun light. Even with his dark goggles, it bothers him. At least he is not blinded by it, but his vision is far from being optimal. They don't seem to make goggles for drows in the human lands, at least not for a price he could afford.
Low profile, big hood concealing as much as he can, he tries to avoid problems.
When he sees a group of travelers, he approaches silently and quietly. If they are the ones assigned to help him on his mission, good. If not, may fire rain on them, he doesn't want to care. Too many care too much for him, and not on a good way.

[dragonsamurai77]

He is my master, and I am afraid that he is unavailable at the moment. By the way, I am Quarion Amakiir, a druid, and this is my companion.

[Zefir]

"Oh thats bad for me. Well then, are you reaching to the mine? If this is the cause you are here i will stay near you, cause then i maybe get the chance to talk to him. My Name is terra, Terra Nova nice to meet another druid in this realm and nice to meet an wild elf of an other tribe."

Terra try to shake hands with Quarion.

Spoiler

Buy 1 scroll Mage Armore and 2 Heal light wounds

[zagan]

Glist

Glist wait patiently for Quarion to respond to is question wondering if he heard him.

[Devmaar]

Ubaidah walks up to the others,
Hello, are you all heading to Duvik's pass too? My name is Ubaidah, I would be honoured to accompany you.

[dragonsamurai77]

Yes, I am also going to Duvick's Pass. Nice to meet you also.

I shake hands with Terra.

[zagan]

Glist

Glist nod also and say, "We should be going, I believe the sitation is somewhat urgent"
With those word Glist turn around and continue toward Duvik's pass.

[dragonsamurai77]

Indeed.

I follow close behind.

[Devmaar]

Ubaidah strides onward, keeping pace with the rest of the group.

[Zefir]

"I am right behind you, cause i need to buy some things."

Terra try to catch up with Quarion.

[Sanity702]

Zom

Zom saw the group and his radar went off, he did not know if they would welcome him, but they seemed to be headed towards the same place... Thus he approached from the most visible route, once within distance he stopped and spoke out,

Zom, headed for Duvik's Pass, you go there to? Zom go with you and help? Zom strong and good fighter, he do well to kill things. He spoke proudly, the water orc stood with his shoulders back, and his chest out proud. He was known for his strength and was confident in it.

[Cardea]

Derrik

Derrik walks slowly behind the group of talkers. Talk talk talk, that's all people ever did these days. Two humans, an Orc, two Elves and a Dwarf. And their little dog too. It was an odd group, Derrik made note, and walked behind them at a safe distance away. He didn't make an effort to conceal himself or to quiet his footsteps.

[dragonsamurai77]

Of course, Zom, we'd be glad to have you.

Quarion turns around.

What about you, traveller, who are you?

[Anders Celsius]

Ilztas approaches the group silently, and after hearing a little bit from them, decides they don't seem a threat. Specially after seeing the water orc welcomed so easily, which kind of surprised him.
When he is going to speak to the group, he notices a seventh traveler, walking proudly, "arrogantly" he tells himself, with an expression of indifference and maybe even hostility. "One can never be too cautious" is what Ilztas decides, and waits to see how the wild elf's approach plays out.

[zagan]

Glist

Glist try to ignore the orc but chose to keep an eye on him just in case.

[Cardea]

Derrik

No one of notice. Just another traveler going into Duvik's path. Need another light?

He motions towards his backpack, which has one end of a torch jutting from it.

[Sanity702]

Zom

Why, Zom need light? Zom see just fine... Torch for those who are different.

Everyone except Derrik

Spoiler

Ahead of you, children gathering sticks of wood run away up the footpath. A gnome stays behind and walks down the path towards you. After a moment he sits down by the path. He is 5-10 minutes walk away from you.

Derrik

Spoiler

Far away, you hear a voice say, “Quickly, go home now.”

[zagan]

Glist

Glist was curious about what thta gnome could be doing here and look at the other questioningly.

[dragonsamurai77]

Quarion shrugs at Glist.

[Zefir]

"Wait a minute we take an orc with us? Is noone afraid of this fact, cause i heard they are like the wolfs in the forest hunting for people who walk at the late times on the street. "

Terra head around just to see how the other react.

"Zom you explain why coming here you understand?"

"And you human i dont think your mother called you 'No one of notice' will be nice to have a name to call you. And the one with the dark goggles can tell us his name, too."

[dragonsamurai77]

Not me. He seems trustworthy enough, and even if he did betray us, he'd be no match for all of us put together.
