The Lost Tavern

[jemmus]

Theo catches a whiff of his chainmail. The scent floods his mind with memories and images of the turd-filled Eldar's mound in the stinking swamp. None of them are pleasant. Well, except for receiving the glowing bastard sword removed from the festering wound of the hideous creature. That part was a pleasant memory. The receiving part, not the removing part.

The Lost Tavern
The Ethereal Marketplace

In dire need of a washing, the group decides it might be best to find their way back to the Three Gnomes Tavern to get some rooms.

Paying the little old lady her asking price for the garments, they gladly accept directions along with her wares, walking back towards the familiar streets of the Weapons district. Despite the unbelievably drab surroundings, making it almost impossible to navigate these crowded streets where landmarks are few and far between, Cresty eventually sees Viktor again, standing on the sidewalk outside his prestigious shop. He raises an eyebrow high to the group when he sees you, but doesn’t comment.

The children you saw earlier are no longer around, but you’re certain now you should be able to find the tavern entrance again from here.

Tlachtga

"I think Viktor has seen the escapade with the children before."

She continues along towards the Tavern.

[gurusql]

Torbath

Torbath will continue to follow the group back.

[kruk]

Lerrick

The cleric breaths a sigh of relief to be back in somewhat familiar ground.


Cresty

Yes Tlachtga That's what I believe as well. I shall confront him. He waits for the rest of the party to catch up and then announces in a bold authoritative voice to the You knew that was going to happen. What's in this for you? Do you receive the weapons from the adventuring parties who fail to come back? Whatever happened to people making an honest living. So much evil. Explain yourself! The former paladin attempts to detect evil on Viktor.

it's work a try

[Quonundrum]

Andronichishche

Indeed Sir Crestbrook is back, at least in spirit. He hurries to try and catch up with the irate fighter before Viktor lays on another verbal assault ...

[jemmus]

Theo watches for the arms dealer's reaction to accusations made against him.

Viktor’s right eyebrow raises so high on his forehead once Cresty starts to berate him, you think it might actually fly off the man’s head. He doesn’t answer any of the accusations, but a few people nearby scatter from the street when the stoic man reaches into his vest to pull out what looks like a shiny steel wand.

He points the device at Cresty mid taunt, causing the former Paladin to instantly start shaking and convulsing, unable to even finish his final sentence. The effect wanes quickly, but the expression of complete disdain doesn’t leave Viktors face. He looks to Andron. “Get this man out ov my face immediately and I von’t report your group to the authorities.”

While Cresty slowly gets the feeling back in his extremities, Viktor makes a little adjustment to the tip of his shocking device. (turning it up to 11?)

[ravenn4544]

Alordan slowly steps away from Cresty - with a nonchalant whistle and eyes to the sky.

[Rex]

Tlachtga

Tlachtga just eyes Viktor and waits to see what happens.

[gurusql]

Torbath

Torbath does not understand why this hostility was required and waits to see what he needs to do next.

[Quonundrum]

Andronichishche

Andron momentarily stares in awe at Viktor's rod ... er, wand. Its similarity to the nurse golems' weapons was rather unexpected and unnerving. He quickly pulls upon the fighter's sleeve. "Come, Mr. Cresty, let the man be!" As he continues to usher the man away, he turns his head back to address Viktor. "Please excuse him. He was recently petrified and I think some rocks yet remain ..." Andron points to his head and twirls his index finger.

Also distinctly aware of the attention they're inviting, he pulls the hood of his robe up and gestures for the group to move along. "Let's get back to the tavern ..."

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"Agreed, lets head to the tavern."

She starts towards the tavern.

[jemmus]

Theo hastens to the tavern and his long-awaited bath. The one that everyone has been anxiously looking forward to. He wonders what became of the Eldar and the defecating swamp creatures that fed him. Are they ages after the thing's time? Or before it? And if so, will he have better luck with the ladies in the age?

[kruk]

Cresty

The fighter cringes in pain. He steadies himself after the initial shock. Not wanting to be the recipient of another blast he turns around with the others an moves towards the tavern. I never did trust the guy.


Lerrick

After the party moves a safe distance away from Viktor the cleric checks to see if the electrified fighter is ok.

Hoping to deescalate an already precarious situation, Andron quickly leads the group away without further action or response from the angry weapons dealer.

Following their memory, they move back through the crowded streets to find the door they believe leads back into Three Gnomes Tavern, where hot food and hot baths await.

Two disheveled young children stand nearby the closed door, reminding you of the urchins you met earlier.

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"A very interesting place but I am not sure we learned much here that will help us on the island. It does make an excellent place to retreat to if need be."

[ravenn4544]

Alordan nods. "I was thinking the same. Of course, this place is huge and I doubt we even scratched the surface."

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"Very true, but we have no idea where to look and not that much in the way of coin at the moment."

[gurusql]

Torbath

"Let's head back inside."
