Morganna studies the urchins for a while, and selects a "likely - looking" one (bright, not too shifty), and flashes a copper at him. When he comes over, she slips him the copper and says, "We're looking for a place to eat -- cheap, but good"

Harry Seldon · August 14, 2003, 11:00

Bandar struts over to the young dwarf. "M' boy, give me one o' your kabobs while I tell you about why today's yer lucky day..."

Bandar tosses him two coppers and procedes to explain how he single-handedly saved the dwarven race from destruction on numerous occassions.

"...and so now you can tell all yer friends that you've met Bandar the Dwarf! Good luck t' ya!"

Bandar wanders back to the group with what's left of his kabob.

Hot Mustard · August 14, 2003, 11:14

Rags sidles over to Bandar and makes some small talk. Then he heads over to the young kabob-selling dwarf himself.

"Sir Bandar has sent me to fetch him another kabob. A second one is only 1 copper, right?", says Rags, playing the part of a gopher for a mighty warrior.

Jon Miller · August 14, 2003, 14:56

(unmodified 14 on the bluff/intimidate) "uh, uh, yah sure," says the Urchin. "Morganna meanwhile finds an out of the way place that serves fried fish. It is delicious and is 2 copper a peice (you get a lot more food than a kabob).

Jon Miller · August 14, 2003, 14:58

(BTW, Felch is moving so Ostler is elsewhere right now (maybe at the Bard College, maybe chasing his own leads))

Harry Seldon · August 14, 2003, 16:58

Alright, where should we go next? We need better information than this.

The Mad Monk · August 15, 2003, 18:11

Morganna treats the urchin to the fish, throws in a couple extra coppers, and gets his name.

[OOC]I'm trying to cultivate an information source / occasional lackey here, perhaps not for this adventure, but over the long term.[/OOC]

Jon Miller · August 15, 2003, 18:40

(I would assume that those of you who are good with information (or Felch) would continue to look for some afterlunch)

Hot Mustard · August 15, 2003, 20:26

[OOC]I was hoping Bandar might point out someone who gave him some information before, that Rags might question them further.

If not, yes, he'll ask appropriate-looking characters about the underground city and bazaar, trying to get safe and accurate directions and entry instructions.[/OOC]

Yes.

I don't just ask people. If I notice 'shady' people talking and am in a spot where they won't notice me easily, I use "read lips" on them. I use "sense intent" as a gut reaction on truthfulness on those I do speak with, though I don't discount any of it.

Since I'm new around here and still feeling out the social structure, I try not to intimidate anyone.

Jon Miller · August 16, 2003, 15:11

I will take it that yuo are both using all your skills to gather information

Moganna gets a 12 (11+1)
Rags gets a 19 (14+5)

Rags finds a shady character who is willing to sell a map of a way to skullport for 3 sp

apparently (this is sometihng both of you have heard) the way is dangerous and there are many traps set by thieves (As well as the theives themselves)

both of you also hear of entrances, there is one at the "Red Inn" in the basement (there are also others, that you heard rumors about, just both of you heard about this one)

Jon Miller

Hot Mustard · August 18, 2003, 16:47

Rags shows everyone the map and shares his information.

"Should we scout the layout of the Red Inn today, or just show up tonight?", Rags asks everyone.

[OOC]
Sorry for the brief absence - (house-sitting last week and the power outage). Internet connection is a bit intermittent still, but should be okay.

Jon Miller · August 18, 2003, 17:37

(I assume that you decreased your sp to cover the cost than? I want youguys to take care of that

also, you can do your own rolls for the most part, try http://javascript.internet.com/games/dice-roller.html

and put down the roll plus your rank and attribute (And feat) modifiers (I will handle the rest)

also yuo can speak for minor NPCs so as to speed play and roleplaying)

Tarna who had been asking arround (6) shows up, " I haven't heard anything at all, except that the olives see, to be particularly good this year. Oh, a map huh? does it show where the Theives Brazaar is or only how to get to Skullport?"

[OOC]
RE: Silver, rolls, and NPCs - noted. Just go back and edit our character sheet posts then?
[/OOC]

"Olives? Yum. Just how to get there, but then we should be able to ask around for the Bazaar, or it might be very obvious once we get there.

I am going to head over to the Red Inn now - might as well make ourselves part of the scenery earlier rather than later. Then we might not arouse suspicion when we start looking for the entrance. Who's up for a drink?"

Jon Miller · August 21, 2003, 03:33

Tarna motions that she is up for one.

(there was the shole issue with the server and I think that maybe the others lost this thread, I will try PMing them)

The Mad Monk · August 26, 2003, 18:22

I go to the inn, purchase a flagon of mead, and find a place with my back to the wall and a good view of the room.

Felch · August 26, 2003, 20:17

I'm up for a drink.

(Sorry, I've been having internet difficulties since moving.)

Harry Seldon · August 27, 2003, 10:29

[ooc]At least I'm not the only one having problems getting online

[/ooc]

Bandar will tag along but stay out of the way of people with better information gathering skills.

Jon Miller · August 27, 2003, 18:58

(I have the biggest test of my life thursday and friday so I will not be on here continually (and if I am it will be a sign that I gave up))

The party reaches the Red Inn, which is an Inn and Tavern like you suspected, where they take a table along one wall. Tarna sits with her back to the rest of the room as does Bandar (so Ostler and Rags and Morganna are against the wall). A flagon of Mead is 4 cp (please spend from your CS). Right now the inn seems to be mostly empty. When questioned the manager relates that it is mostly busy in the evening. Right now all that is at the Inn is the day manager (a tired woman of about 50 with worn clothes and a foreign but hard to place accent) and yourselves. Occasionally very late risers come out of the only other doors to the place (which are in the back).

(BTW, more people are welcome to join if your are unsure, we will try to get moving again)

Jon Miller · August 27, 2003, 22:54

The people who are leaving late seem to be a rougher bunch. Ostler notes some who are known to be adventurers on the edge of the law.

Jon Miller · August 28, 2003, 01:04

(the person noted by Ostler is the well known adventurer Rothgoten who is rumored to do any deed if you pay enough money)

Harry Seldon · August 28, 2003, 10:51

What do you suppose is back there? Maybe someone should take a look...

Harry Seldon · September 9, 2003, 14:38

Bandar wanders around in circles waiting for order to return to the universe.

Jon Miller · September 9, 2003, 16:39

(I guess I should post, I have checked this daily (my test got over last week)

I am waiting for players to come back, basically)

The Mad Monk · September 10, 2003, 01:21

Morganna attempts to read lips on the rough characters.

Harry Seldon · September 11, 2003, 11:34

Bandar begins poking party members in an effort to provoke a response.

The Mad Monk · September 11, 2003, 13:33

Morganna's response to poking is a quick staff to the shins.

Harry Seldon · September 11, 2003, 13:38

Bandar cries out in suprise. "Looks like it's just me an you fer now, lass. Maybe we should see what information we can get on our own while we wait for the rest of our companions."

Jon Miller · September 11, 2003, 18:30

For some odd reason the party felt fairly lethargic and took a nap until evening. Morganna and Bandar (and Tarna) awaken to sounds of merryment and a fairly full tavern of seedy looking individuals.

Jon Miller

Hot Mustard · September 12, 2003, 04:00

Rags emerges from his coma...

Rags attempts to overhear conversations on the way to and from the bar, stopping to ask anyone who looks like they belong to the 'not-so-swift' family about the "way down".
