Ill news is an ill guest

[Blazeguard]

Thorgrim cautiously enters the room, finds a chair and sits down. He scans the room carefully for any signs of danger or ambush. The fact that everyone seems to be dragging their feet over a life and death matter has him worried and on edge.

[tooleychris]

"I'll see if I can find a stout." says Lady Angela.
Thorgrim, Craxzus, and Throm enter the room and find a bed and a single stool. The door closes behind them and you hear the audible thunk of a deadbolt. A window opens in the door and she peers in. "Can't have word get out just yet. " she says. "Not when we are so close. You understand."
The window closes and all is silent.

[GreyWolfVT]

Throm nods "Aye. Dun wanna stir the masses an create a mass panic among tha people." and awaits the stout patiently though one might notice the dwarf smiling and licking his lips when thinking of it.

[Blazeguard]

As he hears the deadbolt slam home, Thorgrim rushes to the door and attempts to open it to no avail.

He curses to himself for not realizing it sooner.

"Throm, ye dunderhead! There be no stout 'acomin' for ye. She's in on it with them orcs and we be locked in here until the town is razed. We need to get out of here and stop her."

Once he calms down somewhat he will begin searching the room for a way out or anything that could help them escape.

[GreyWolfVT]

Throm "Eh durned witch she dun tempted me with stout. Curse her an the damn broom tha witch rode in on!" temper coming forth the dwarf starts to look around and smash anything that gets in his way and is not his two companions. Overturning furniture that is not secured down...so forth.

EDIT:The dwarf remembers his axe and the magical rings and tries summoning his axe to his hands.

[tooleychris]

Throms ax will attempt to reach Throm but there are too many barriers in between. It flies but does not teleport
"Ya'all just take it easy in there." says a stern voice from the other side of the door. "I'm only ta hold ya a couple days. You'll be fed an all as long as ya play nice. A whistle from me will bring a dozen guards to aid. saavy?"

[GreyWolfVT]

I know it wont teleport however it should be relatively close since they only just took it.
Savvy what you're captain Jack Sparrow now?

Throm "I'd play nicer if ya didna trap me in a durned room."

after turning over weapons you were escorted down stairs, down a hall, and into the room.

"Maybe and maybe no." the guard says.
"Whatcha all do ta peeve off da lady, anywho?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Throm "We came ta report an army o' orcs that'd be all we did." is the only reply the guard gets from the dwarf.

[Dram]

Craxuz gets into backpack. I got some potions in my pack. What potions do you guys have. Craxzus then has himself a idea. Guard could ya at least bring us a pitcher of stout my friend ask for. Bring yerself a glass too. Have a drink with us. May be the last one ya have. When them Orcs get here they will be drinking it all. Your head will be on a pike pole outside the gate.

[tooleychris]

There is silence outside the door. Then you hear a familiar voice. The one who guarded Master Ryan upstairs and took your weapons.
"You are relieved sir. Have they caused any trouble?"
The door guard responds "Just talk of orcs, sir. Drinking our mead and putting my head on a spike. Lady Angela told me to watch them till supper then I'd be relieved. I'm not sure..."
"I said you are relieved. Go finish your drills in the yard."
"Yes sir!"
A few moments pass.......
The window to your door opens and a familiar face comes into view. The soldier who took your weapons.
"Tell me," he says "You said the orcs were massing in the crater?" He looks very concerned.
"Would it surprise you if I told you lady Angela took that sector off of our patrols a month ago?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Throm gives the guard a look of hmm whats he about? "Dead serious. An nah that wouldna sprise me a bit. Dunno what is up with that gal."

[Blazeguard]

Thorgrim shakes his head, "Nay, after what she just did to us, it don't surprise me one bit. Yesterday? It woulda' surprised me yesterday...but not now. I just can't figure out what she be gettin' outta it though."

He continues searching the room carefully and then carefully unpacks his backpack and inventories his equipment.

[tooleychris]

"I've not figured out her game in its totality either but this I know." says the stern man. "Over the last year the quality of my mens armaments has diminished." he looks up and down the hall outside the door. "She was responsible for mercenary assignments in Elizabeth Bay previously but has taken to making those assignments here as well. And she has been steering you people to strange locations to explore....or more specifically, away from certain locations. He shakes his head and sighs. "I've taken my initial suspicions to Master Ryan but he was quickly angered. Quick to defend her. Too quick. I have known this man for years and he is honorable. I don't understand why he does not listen. Does not see. But you are not the first to cry orc uprising. I must know what it is you saw."

[GreyWolfVT]

Throm "Yah sure it be safe fer us ta talk like this? Aint you sure someone'll hear us?" pausing and finally shrugging "Eh hell wit it what theey gonna do hang meh? We saw an entire army o orc in that there crater mass camps more n we could take in our small force."

[Dram]

Craxzus- Whatever she planning it is happening very soon. In the next couples of days. Are the mercs loyal to the lady or the coin?

[GreyWolfVT]

Throm "Be bettin yer arse they be loyal ta coin. Tha're mercs."

[tooleychris]

"Indeed." says the guard. "When master Ryan brought up your contract you made no mention of pay. You didn't even try to leverage your information for coin. This is why I trusted to talk to you about this subject. Your motivation seemed more for the common good than enhancement of your personal wealth. The question is now, how to proceed. As long as Angela has hooks in Ryan we are powerless to act against the darkness that approaches. "

[GreyWolfVT]

Throm shrugs "Gettin' us outta here would be a start ya know."

[tooleychris]

The guard shakes his head.
"Lady Angela is comfortable knowing you are...restrained at that moment. Her attentions are elsewhere. I don't think it wise to alert her of ttouble before we are prepared to act."
