Start of #KHT buffer: Tue Jul 29 20:45:46 2008 [17:42:01] [Two days of travel after the defeat of Szartharrax the white dragon, you finally see the gates of Fallcrest before you. It's mid-afternoon, and the weather seems fine.] [17:42:03] [Session Start] [17:42:26] Oh finally. We're home. [17:43:27] * Jisar looks around the group. "After things are all settled what are you guys going to go do? I'm hoping I could find more work." [17:44:24] "We've done well enough here. What's in that envelope, by the way?" [17:45:56] Good question. It's in draconic. [17:46:06] * Pramesh hands the letter over to Shav. [17:46:29] * Jisar scratches his head. "Does that mean kolbolds can write?" [17:46:49] * Shavozama opens the letter and starts reading it aloud, taking some time to translate. [17:47:32] "Szartharrax the White: [17:47:55] Greetings. I understand that you have recently managed to unite many of the bickering kobold bandit tribtes in the Nentir Valley. I would like to congratulate you. I am Irontooth. I would like to extend my hand to offer an alliance. Your kobolds have begun to accomplish much, but Fallcrest continues to be an obstacle to you, and Winterhaven continues to be a problem for me. [17:48:02] Let us work together and topple both, then after, turn our sights on the whole Nentir Vale. [17:48:06] - Irontooth. [17:48:13] It's not unlikely some can. They've got a head for learning, at least. [17:48:23] * Shav puts the letter away. [17:48:39] * Pramesh frowns. "It looks like I've found what I'm doing next." [17:48:59] * Jisar smiles. "Can I help!" [17:49:29] "Going to Winterhaven?" [17:50:16] * Pramesh nods. "It seems like the only right thing to do, with the potential of another bandit-lord preying on people here." [17:50:29] * Jisar nods [17:50:45] Plus, it'll do good for my doctor bills! [17:51:06] Maybe I'll be able to afford an expensive clerical visit! [17:52:58] * Pramesh nods. "First, we should go in and finish our business in Fallcrest." [17:53:23] * Jisar nods "Of course I need to see if my mother is ok as well." [17:53:51] And warn the people that the kobold threat's only supressed, rather than finished. I doubt it'll be long before they can recover from this and start raiding again. It wouldn't do for Fallcrest to get soft in the meantime. [17:54:04] * Pramesh heads inside the gates. [17:56:38] * You get a few glances your way as people notice you entering the town before they go back to their business. [17:57:57] * Jisar heads over to Goldcap's shop [17:58:12] *with his goods [17:58:29] "Well, we'll be well known enough here for awhile, hmm? I don't enjoy having too great a reputation, fame muddles morality." [17:59:27] * The door is open and Goldcap's sign hangs proudly. [17:59:29] These are my neighbors, they wouldn't treat me any differently. I'll always be that little rascal who stole apples [17:59:30] . [18:02:49] * Pramesh enters the store. [18:03:13] * THe dwarf finishes selling something to another customer and notices you arriving. "Ah, there you are. Glad to see you're all in one piece. Alright, let's head to the back room and talk about this." [18:03:34] * He opens up the back room. [18:03:45] "Hey Goldcap, do you want to wait for everyone else?" [18:05:47] "I think we're all here." he heads in. [18:06:03] * Jisar follows behind the group [18:06:45] "Anything happen while we were gone." [18:06:47] ? [18:07:39] * "Nothing much, business as usual. Speaking of which, how did your expedition turn out? [18:08:18] GREAT! We stopped most of the kolbolds and fought a dragon! [18:08:31] And we got your dragon hide, as well. [18:08:40] * Jisar pats his body. "And I'm still in one piece!" [18:08:59] * "A dragon? They had a dragon down there?" [18:09:20] Yup! and it shot ice from it's maw! [18:11:13] * He frowns. "A dragon... Nimozaran might want to hear about this... you're lucky to have escaped it. And with the hide, too." [18:11:36] * Jisar smiles. "With our hides, you mean!" [18:12:35] We didn't escape it so much as destroy it. [18:12:46] * He blinks. "Destroyed it?" [18:13:14] Yeah! There was cold dragon blood everywhere! [18:13:17] "Correct." [18:13:30] I think it may have somewhat... touched in the head. But, nonetheless, it's dead now. [18:15:10] * He shakes his head. "Amazing... well, in any case, you've more than earned your two hundred coins. The hide, if you please?" [18:15:35] * Pramesh nods, and hands it over. [18:15:37] * Jisar counts the count and sepereates it. [18:15:56] That's 40 each guys [18:16:14] Not bad at all, for a day [18:16:16] 's work. [18:16:41] * Jisar sticks his finger in the air, "a day's?" [18:16:56] Well, five if you include the riding. [18:16:59] Not that I'm complaining but it was more than a day Mr. Pramesh [18:17:49] It gives time to consider things. [18:17:52] * The dwarf hands over the coins readily and inspects the hide. "Good... good... now, about Nimozaran. He's a wizard local to this town, lives in a big old tower with some youth. Jisar, you know where he is, the seven-sided green tower, south side of town. He'd been wondering about how the kobolds managed to become such a huge threat, and I'm sure you can satisfy his curiosity." [18:18:31] * Jisar nods, "I was told I'm not allowed there but I think we can make an exception." [18:18:31] * Pramesh nods. "We'll be sure to visit him before we leave, then." [18:19:14] First, I have an appointment with the lord warden. But after that, certainly. [18:19:31] A pleasure doing business for you, sir. [18:20:00] Well how about we all meet up later. I have to check on my mom and I'm sure you guys would like to stop over at the pub. How about sundown? [18:20:15] * Pramesh nods. "Sundown, then." [18:20:41] * Jisar walk back to his house. [18:20:42] Oh! Who's going to see Nimozaran? [18:20:55] I'll be there. [18:21:33] * Pramesh nods, and takes a burlap-wrapped parcel from his pack. "Give this to him. It'll explain the threat." [18:21:42] * Pramesh heads off to the Lord Warden's office. [18:23:45] * Pramesh soon finds an old castle on a hill overlooking the town, surrounded by guards. Some tense when they see him, but relax quickly. [18:24:32] * "Welcome, traveller. What business do you have with Lord Markelhay?" [18:25:39] Good afternoon, sirs. I'd heard there was a bounty on kobolds. [18:27:13] I'd like to claim the bounty on Kobold Hall, specifically. [18:27:53] * "Really? That's certainly good news. Please, follow me. I will escort you to the Lord Warden." [18:28:11] * Pramesh nods and follows the guard. [18:28:14] * Ungyo follows along as well. [18:30:47] * The guard brings you into a very organized-looking room. Near the center is a balding, middle-aged human looking over some papers. He glances up. "Ah, welcome. I am Faren Markelhay. What brings you here? [18:32:06] * Pramesh takes the bone mask from his pack. "The kobolds at Kobold Hall have been killed. I was hoping to collect on their bounty, lord." [18:33:06] * His face brightens up. "Really? Excellent news. Do you have any proof of the leader's demise?" [18:33:29] This was the mask their priest wore, before we killed him. [18:34:30] We also claimed the head of the dragon that organized them, though it's in the hands of one of our travelling companions right now, to be studied by a wizard. [18:35:11] * "Oh, excellent. This should help our town breathe much more easily. Let's see..." [18:39:01] * He draws out payment for Pramesh. 100 gp for killing the leader, and an additional 180 after Pramesh regales him witht he tale of how many kobolds they killed off. [18:39:59] [Some time later...] [18:40:43] * A tall seven-sided pale green spire made od stone stands over the southern odge of town. [18:43:43] * Pramesh stands outside the tower, studying it for a way to enter [18:43:44] * Jisar taps his toe in impatience. [18:44:03] "Hey Pramesh! Where is everyone else?" [18:44:05] * Pramesh discovers a door with a crest on it. [18:44:23] * Shavozama shows up. [18:44:56] "Hey Shavozama! Is it just us three?" [18:45:43] * Haukea shows up. [18:46:14] Ok, is everyone ready to meet the wizard? [18:46:25] * Haukea looks up at the tower. "I can't wait." [18:46:50] I bet, maybe you could learn a little from him too. [18:47:26] * Ungyo shows up as well. [18:47:47] Well, we'll all here. [18:47:55] * Jisar heads into the tower [18:48:49] * Pramesh goes in, along with Haukea [18:48:58] * Ungyo nods, walking along. [18:49:41] * Inside, you find stairs and various rooms. Signs direct you to the top of the tower to speak with Nimozaran the Green. [18:50:16] * Jisar takes the stair case [18:50:36] * Pramesh and Haukea follow [18:51:17] "So many people to see, hmm?" [18:52:11] * Jisar shrugs. "I guess. but there are so many people here you've yet to meet." [18:52:39] "Agreed." [18:52:43] * At the top, you find an elderly man in green robes sitting in a chair. "Ah, guests. Wlecome to my tower. I am Nimozaran the Green, High Septarch of Fallcrest, and hte master of the Fallcrest Mage's Guild." [18:52:47] "good thing you know your way around." [18:53:07] * Ungyo bows, creaking as he does so. "Greetings, great wizard!" [18:53:14] * A completely unremarkable-looking male halfling looks up from a bookshelf. "I'm Tobolar Quickfoot. Apprentice." [18:53:58] Hey Tobo [18:54:05] * Nimozaran looks upon you. "What brings you to my tower? Have you decided to join the mage's guild? Come here to learn a ritual?" [18:54:31] You want to tell them Pramesh? [18:55:05] * Pramesh bows. "Sadly, we won't be in town long enough for Haukea to avail herself of your guild, presently. We heard you wanted to know why the kobolds became organized." [18:55:28] * He leans forward with interesting "Oh,y es. Most definitely." [18:56:22] A dragon had taken up among them, and rallied the tribes to it. Fortunately, we managed to kill it, though the safety in the vale could be short lived unless further measures are taken." [18:58:59] * "A dragon? Hm. Yes. I suspected that, but I couldn't be absolutely certain. Thank you for letting me know. Now I can focus my attention on other matters. I have a teleportation circle in this tower. For this service, I'll gladly let you make use of it." [18:59:50] * Pramesh nods [18:59:55] REALLY?! Free to come and go?! [19:00:21] Wow! a long way from not being allowed in here, eh Nimo? [19:00:52] * "So long as you behave yourself." [19:01:14] We need to reach Winterhaven, to stop what may be a related threat. Could we be portalled to there after dinner? [19:01:30] * Jisar pumps his fist [19:02:54] * "I'm afraid I don't know the correct sequence of sigils to go to Winterhaven. I haven't heard from them in some time." [19:03:33] Is everything ok? [19:04:34] * Pramesh frowns. "All the more reason to get there as soon as possible, then. We should purchase horses and leave at sunrise." [19:05:05] * "I'm not sure. But I do have something that can help you and make the trip easier." [19:05:24] Cheaper than horses? [19:05:52] * "Tolobar, do you remember that basket? Could you bring it here, please?" [19:06:02] * THe halfling complies, and brings over a basket, handing it to Pramesh. [19:07:24] * Pramesh takes the basket, hooking it over his arm [19:07:27] * Nimozaran thinks. "This basket should be able to provide you with a day's worth of food each day." [19:07:53] Huh? for all of us? For How long? [19:09:26] * "As many times as you like. It should give you as much food as you need to get through the day." [19:09:56] * Jisar scrunches his face into a ball of wrinkles. "Huh? How does it fit in there?" [19:10:21] * Haukea smirks. "A wizard did it." [19:11:04] * Jisar sits in silence as if he wants to make fun of Haukea before his silence changes to that of one of shame. [19:12:10] "Well, I am glad I do not have to eat, considering I might tire of having the same meal daily." [19:12:15] * Pramesh bows deeply towards the wizard. "Thank you for everything, sir. It's a shame for us to leave so soon, but it seems like another town may be in danger, and I don't want to delay when lives could be on the line. We'll need to make an early night." [19:13:02] * He nods. "Very well. Travel safely." [19:13:13] But Ungyo my rations have been dried oats and meat for out entire excursion. [19:13:43] ok guys. I guess I'll sleep at my mom's place. It's small otherwise I'd invite you over. [19:14:07] How long do you think we'll be gone for? [19:14:34] "Can't rightly say we'll be coming back this way." [19:14:56] * Pramesh nods. [19:15:10] hmmm? ok I'll just have to send things home from afar. I see people doing that all the time. [19:15:33] If we kill Irontooth, and it turns out he's the root of all this, we can go our own ways. But I doubt it'll be that easy [19:15:34] I have to take care of something at the inn so I'll go with you guys. [19:16:12] Oh, Pramesh did you get anything while you were reporting our progress? [19:16:38] Oh, yes. Two hundred and eighty gold. [19:16:58] Which comes out to... fifty-six each, I believe. [19:17:10] * Jisar 's eyes go wide. "EACH!? WoW!" [19:17:31] * Jisar calms down immensely. "oh, ok. ahem." [19:18:25] * Pramesh divvys up the money and heads out to the inn, along with Haukea [19:18:58] At the inn Jisar approaches the innkeeper. [19:23:16] * Ungyo walks up as well, checking out the pub area. [19:23:43] * An older female halfling looks over at JIsar. "Ah, welcome. I see you've got company. Thank you for coming to the Silver Unicorn. How many rooms will you be using?" [19:28:17] "Hiya Jeanie! I was wondering if I could get a room for an extended period?" [19:29:02] * "Well, it's 2 gold pieces per night per room." [19:30:23] So if I give you 120 will it last two months? Can I have it lowered if it's for so long? And you still prepare meals everyday, right? [19:33:16] * She blinks. "We do prepare meals every day, yes. I'll lower it to a hundred, but how did you come across so much?" [19:33:57] I met some adventurers who9 let me help them clear all the kolbolds that were hurting people. [19:35:02] * "My, it looks like you're making quite an impact. I have to thank you for that. Maybe more travelers will stay here instead of that no-good Nentir Inn." [19:35:07] ok, Thanks Jeanie. I'll bring my mother here tomorrow. [19:35:20] * Jisar hands the innkeeper 100 gold [19:36:27] * She accepts the payment. "Thank you. Wisara should be glad to hear about this." She turns to the rest of hte group. "Wisara Osterman is the owner of this establishment, but she's on break right now." [19:37:51] * Jisar turns to the group. "Ok guys, you can talk to Jeanie here. She'll set you up. Rest well. See you tomorrow morning." [19:40:10] * Pramesh nods. "See you then, everyone." He pays the inkeeper his dues and heads upstairs [19:46:24] * Jisar heads to the Moonsong Temple. [19:47:31] * The moonsong temple stands on top of a bluff, and dedicated to Sehanine, but includes shrines for Corellon, Melora, and Avandra. [19:47:52] * Ungyo , never tired or weary and with nothing better to do, follows Jisar along. [19:48:03] * One of the acolytes gives Jisar a friendly wave. [19:48:21] * Jisar welcomes the company [19:48:29] * Jisar returns the wave [19:48:38] Good tidings! [19:49:11] * "Welcome, Jisar. And your new friend. We haven't seen you around in a few days. I hope you are okay." [19:50:02] This is my companion, Ungyo, he and others helped me clear out the raiding kolbolds! We even slew a dragon. [19:51:06] I'm here for a reason however. [19:51:22] * "Really? Well, that's great news. You've done a great service for this town. Maybe the merchants will return now." [19:51:55] I hope so! That Half Elf is the only new business in town and he seems kinda weird. [19:52:31] * "Yeah... anyway, what brings you here?" [19:52:42] But I've come inquiring about your gifts here. As you may know my mother is ill and I was curious about donating for a blessing. [19:54:54] "I am willing to assist with this cause." [19:55:20] * "That'd normally run 150 gold pieces." [19:55:23] Thanks, Ungyo. [19:56:25] 150? I don't have that much. I'll be traveling with this group tomorrow morning. If I promise to donate the difference while I'm gone will you consider conducting the service? [19:56:40] I can have it delivered. [19:57:02] * Jisar produces his pouch with his remaining 31 gold [19:57:07] * "How much does your friend have?" [19:57:41] * Ungyo drops his share of the gold, paying for the rest. [19:58:00] "I cannot currently think up a better cause." [19:58:05] * Jisar looks over at Ungyo. "Thank you friend but you needn't suffer for my cause. [19:58:13] " [19:58:34] "Suffer? I have no want for food, and I see healing the sick as a primary goal of my existence." [19:59:10] I thank you and I will return the gold to you as soon as I possess it [19:59:29] "No need, friend." [19:59:51] "Your trust and respect are the only payments I require." [20:00:08] * Jisar tries to crack a smile through choked tears, "all me Swifty." [20:00:15] *Call [20:00:27] * "Well, tell you what. Avandra likes to see people free to travel. I'll talk to Her priests and acolytes, maybe they'll consider your job with the kobolds out there payment enough." [20:01:06] * Jisar bows his head in gratitude and hugs the monk. [20:02:09] "My mother will be staying at the Silver Unicorn. I spent all of gold making sure she is comfortable while I'm gone. I'll be leaving in the morn. [20:02:12] " [20:02:21] * "Wow. Must have been quite a haul." [20:03:16] "Well, the guard and Goldcap had rewards for peticular deeds that we suceeded in doing." [20:06:34] * "You've done quite a lot of work. You better get your rest. You earned it." [20:07:31] "Thank you" Jisar wipes his face. "I'll see you tomorrow Ungyo." [20:09:04] * Ungyo nods. [20:09:11] * Ungyo finds a safe place to stand around for the evening. [20:09:16] * Jisar heads off towards his mother. He delivers her to the Silver Unicorn and stays with her in her room until she settles. [20:10:21] [Session End] [20:10:25] In total.... [20:11:14] [20:03:38] Alright, 500 XP to the group for delaing with the dragon hide, 750 XP to the group for the Lord Warden, and 500 XP to the group for talking to Nimozaran [20:11:14] [20:03:53] In total, that's 350 XP each [20:11:14] [20:03:57] cool [20:11:14] [20:04:32] so that's 1015 in total for all of us? [20:11:14] [20:04:40] Yep, which should bring you to level 2. [20:11:50] People got 56 gp each for clearing out the kobolds for the Lord Warden [20:12:05] haha [20:12:17] Everyone got 40 gp each from delivering the dragon hide [20:12:55] Everyone lost 2 gp each for staying at the inn. Jisar paid 100 gp for two months at the inn for his mother. [20:13:03] The kobold mundane gear has NOT yet been sold. [20:13:50] You got a Basket of Provisions from Nimozaran. [20:14:03] You were also allowed to learn Nimozaran's teleport circle sigils. [20:15:08] Does that cover everything? [20:45:01] * Ungyo is now known as Mechazawa End of #KHT buffer Tue Jul 29 20:45:46 2008 Total changes: Everoyne gains 350 XP, putting them at 1015. Everoyne gains a net total of 94 gp, except Jisar, who loses 6. The group gains a Basket of Provisions and learns the sigils for Nimozaran's teleport circle.
