Old Woman approaches Meltam.
Old Woman: Excuse me dear sir, my adorable little kitten has run into that warehouse. Can you kindly go get it for me? I don't have the strength to open the warehouse doors.
Volmaric and Slumbara have not arrived yet in this particular scene.
GM: Imagine the old woman from the beginning of the Incredibles
Meltam Perandus: Why sure, everyone knows cats cannot stand the smell of burning sandalwood! Let me go find some real quick and we can get dear kitten return home safe.
Old Woman: Oh really? I just happen to have some right here but I don't have a way to light it.
Meltam Perandus: Just a little bit of smoke should gently coerce the little fluff ball...
Meltam Perandus: Survival Successes = 1 [2d20 = 15]
Old Woman hands Meltam a 20lb pile of prepared and pressure treated Sandalwood.
Feneril (Slumbara): The dice thought you were playing regular D20 for a minute
Feneril (Slumbara): Newton doesn't like bedtime, so we have to stay very quiet until she is deep asleep
Meltam successfully lights the sandalwood on fire and enters the warehouse.
Ekhret: EGADS! You've found me!
Meltam Perandus: Hi hello?
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 33]
An imperious looking Stygian seems shocked at Meltam's appearance. In fact, he looks like ... a Stygian!
Meltam also is convinced he looks vaguely feline with that roll.
Ekhret: NO! I can't let him find me!
Meltam Perandus: did you want some warm milk?
Old Woman approaches Slumbara and Volmalric, who happen to be walking nearby.
Old Woman: Excuse me sirs, I happened to send a nice young Bossonian man into that wooden warehouse to retrieve my cat, he was carrying some sandalwood with him....
Meltam Perandus: I mean wait, good Stygian, son of a dark, depraved, and fallen cult of Set worshippers, what in Mitra's name are you doing in a dark warehouse!?
Ekhret: DIE FIEND! You will never take me alive!
Volmalric: Hmmm? Did something happen to him?
Slumbara: I think even Meltam can retrieve a cat
Slumbara: That does not sound like a job for slumbara
Slumbara: Unless the cat is a giant saber beast
Ekhret lashes at Meltam with a blast of magical energy, throwing him outside of the building. The sandalwood torch sails into the air, striking a pile of sawdust mixed with oil and igniting the building in a huge fireball.
Old Woman: EGADS!
There is an explosion.
Ekhret runs outside, fire trailing behind him.
Ekhret sees Slumbara.
Slumbara: I guess I was wrong, Meltam cannot handle a kitten
Ekhret: Friend Slumbara! You must protect me, HE IS COMING FOR ME!
Slumbara: Who? Meltam?
Slumbara: He is harmless
Ekhret runs over to cower behind Slumbara.
Slumbara draws his sword anyway just in case
Volmalric: It looks like it might not have been a kitten
Ekhret: I'm so glad you lived! It was amazing we survived that battle at all against...
Ekhret looks at Meltam.
Ekhret: THAT GUY! Yes, he was attacking us. He must be in league with the enemy.
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 23]
Volmalric: Hmmm, are you two friends?
Meltam Perandus appears dazed and confused at this turn of events. I just want to find a kitten?
Slumbara: No my friend, he is a working man like Slumbara
Kazemi (Volmalric): How out of control is the fireball?
Slumbara: I mean, weak and pathetic
Slumbara: but otherwise, like Slumbara
Volmalric stares up at the fireball as it expands through the sky
Slumbara: But before I protect you
Slumbara: We should discuss the matter of my back pay
The warehouse is ablaze, alarms are sounding out throughout the city. There are screams of, "Call the Watch! Call the Fire Brigade!"
Old Woman: Oh no! Skittles! My kitten is in danger!
Old Woman runs into the burning building.
Volmalric: Ma'am!
Volmalric follows after to pull her back
You hear a high pitched whistle, just at the edge of your range of hearing. Dogs nearby begin howling in pain.
Volmaric bravely stops the old woman from running into the burning building.
Feneril (Slumbara): Slumbara doesn't care about the fire, he is negotiating to get that paycheck he is owed
Slumbara: What is it you want me to protect you from friend?
Meltam Perandus: Lore 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 9]
Ekhret: The Horrible monster hunting for me!
Slumbara: Ok, we can discuss our terms as soon as you pay me for the last mission you hired you me for
Meltam Perandus: Sorcery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 16]
Ekhret: Yes, yes! I am happy to pay you, just protect me!
Meltam gets out a knife and pries the top off a jar he pulls out of his belongings.
Slumbara: Ok, just stay behind Slumbara
There is a shimmering, then it looks like a gossamer curtain tears free. A man dressed in flowing black robes wearing an ornate metal headdress steps from - somewhere - through a portal that should not exist.
Ekhret: In Set's NAME! He is HERE!
Slumbara: Meltam, what did you do now?
Okay, for the record, everyone just took 6 points of Resolve Damage AND 3 Mental Trauma.
Meltam Perandus: What? i was just trying to start a bucket brigade and put out this fire caused by your Stygian friendo.
Kazemi (Volmalric): And cue the second Demon that Meltam has unleashed upon the world
Old Woman dies of fright.
Feneril (Slumbara): BTW, are hero points not like Bennys?
Feneril (Slumbara): Because I don't have any
GM: I forgot to reset them. Hold please.
Slumbara shrugs his shoulders, and launches a wild attack at the man in the headdress
Slumbara: Melee 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Ekhret: Good Slumbara! Protect me!
Ekhret begins chanting to launch a powerful spell.
Meltam Perandus: Melee 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 32]
Volmalric: Meltam?! What on earth is that?
Volmalric drags the woman's body far enough from the fire so it won't catch and immolate
Meltam Perandus: Imma say it's dark Stygian magic. And there, is a dark Stygian practioner of magic. Coincidence?
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 11]
Tack (Meltam Perandus): (Science can't explain!)
Feneril (Slumbara): It sounds like it came after Ekhret
Feneril (Slumbara): So Meltam let it out of the jar, but it took a B-line for Ekhret
Feneril (Slumbara): Who was hiding behind Slumbara
Volmalric: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 11]
Meltam is huddled with wisps of smoke coming from his clothes next to the building across from the burning warehouse.
Feneril (Slumbara): So you both got -1 successes
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 18]
Volmalric: Why can't things just be normal around you?!
Meltam Perandus: Slumbara, is your might sufficeint to fell this sorcery?
Slumbara: The might of Slumbara is sufficient for any task
Volmalric: Healing 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 4 [2d20 = 6]
Meltam Perandus runs off into the warehouse fire. The cat will be saved!
Feneril (Slumbara): If she isn't dead yet, she definitely will be by the end of this scene
Feneril (Slumbara): AFK one sec
Volmalric determines the woman is quite dead of fright; however, he does gain a reroll on his next Healing check from a sudden flash of insight into the world of medicine.
Volmalric places a cloth over the old woman's face
The Stygian Sorcerer’s chanting, in some ancient tongue, reaches a crescendo and a shout. He gestures at the man wearing the head dress and a silvery glow surrounds the Stygian, as if he is gathering some phenomenal amount of power. Then he shrieks in pain as the glow turns a bright red. His skin gets translucent and then it begins to run like candle wax melting before a flame. Bones turn blackish as if they were wicks burning down. A gooey, viscous substance dribbles down his pant legs, and he is visibly shrinking into a wax puddle. The man wearing the headdress stops and chuckles. “Well, that went better than expected. There is no further need for this fracas, and I have other things which are more important. You are not my quarry, although you may lead me to it. Rest well, mortals.” There is the sound of a curtain tearing, and the man shimmers and disappears just as quickly as he came.
Ekhret screams in agony as he melts into a pile of goo.
Tack (Meltam Perandus): quick, some one spread the rumor that Slumbara's steely gaze did that, not a sorceror.
Slumbara: Wait, who is going to pay Slumbara
Slumbara searches the Sygian goo to see if he had Slumbara's money on him
Slumbara: Awareness - 8 Successes = 1 [2d20 = 20]
The Headdress man's departure sends burning lances of pain through your heads. You find it difficult to remain upright from the extreme pounding migraine.
City Watch: HALT!
City Watch: Get the Fire Brigade over here.
City Watch: You there, what you are doing?
Slumbara: Checking if this man is alive
Slumbara: Healing 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Volmalric: Writhing in pain
Slumbara: Nope, definitely dead
Meltam Perandus: Resistance 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 35]
A well-dressed man walks out of the shadows and points at Volmalric.
Jaunus Prethari: I saw everything, here is my official merchant credentials.
Jaunus Prethari: That man...
Jaunus Prethari gestures at Volmalric
Jaunus Prethari: murdered this old woman with sorcery, as well as her bodyguard.
Jaunus Prethari gestures at the puddle of goo on the ground.
Volmalric: Excuse me?!
Slumbara: That sounds more like Meltam than Volmalric
Slumbara: If we are being honest
Volmalric: Society 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 26]
Meltam Perandus: Sorcery 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 7]
City Watch: Wait, aren't these the people who killed the Velitrium soldiers?
Slumbara: I've never seen Volmalric kill anyone with sorcery
Volmalric blinks up in surprise at the man, pulling himself upright
Meltam Perandus: does this guy smell like bad magic?
Volmalric: That's because I'm not a sorcerer! I'm a devout follower of Mitra, I want nothing to do with the horrible mess that is magic
Feneril (Slumbara): Just use a hero point for overcome weakness
Feneril (Slumbara): Ignore all penalties till the end of the scene
Jaunus Prethari: I shall be happy to testify in a court of law, I believe I can request to have the trial held in the court of Astrus Prethari.
Feneril (Slumbara): That is what I did when I had 4 wounds
City Watch: Of course sir.
Volmalric is using a Hero Point
Feneril (Slumbara): But I wanted to make a daring double-action attack against a friendly scout
Volmalric is using a Hero Point
Volmalric: Persuade 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 28]
Volmalric: I had nothing to do with the black magic, Jaunus
City Watch: Hmm...well...we can figure this out later. For now we need to put out the fire.
Slumbara: I AM black magic, but I also didn't melt him into goo
Volmalric: Less to do with it than your ill-gotten father
Slumbara flexes
Jaunus Prethari: Nonsense, you are laden with evil. And probably blaming this kind hearted CAT-RETRIEVING man for all your mistakes.
Jaunus Prethari gestures to Meltam.
On cue, an aodrable kitten runs up to Meltam and begins licking his face.
City Watch: AWWWWW!
Volmalric: I'm blaming the pile of goo. The man was summoning something beyond his ability to control
City Watch: How cute!
Slumbara: Yeah, and he owes me money
Meltam Perandus puts out several small fires and smoldering bits of clothing.
Volmalric: Owed, not owes
City Watch: Fine, fine.
Meltam Perandus: Whew im so relieved.
City Watch: You all need to clear out.
City Watch: We'll sort this out in front of Megistrate Astrus tomorrow.
Meltam Perandus: Animal Handling 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 27]
City Watch gestures for a couple soldiers to escort the three of you back to a nearby inn.
Kitten: PURR! PURR!
Slumbara is using a Hero Point
Slumbara: Story declaration
The City Watch soldiers take you to a nearby inn called the "Smiling Lass" and usher you into the common room.
It smells of cheap perfume and the walls are garishly decorated. Somewhat attractive women in various stages of undress wave and smile at you as you enter.
City Watch: Excellent, this will do. After all, we are expensing this while we watch these criminals.
Women: Oooh!
City Watch: Yes, yes! These are hardened criminals, we are risking our lives to keep the city safe.
Slumbara: Yes, you might get the clap. Very dangerous
Slumbara: Bring me 10 of your best whores!
City Watch: Yes, we will need you to lock all the doors and bar the exits so these criminals cannot escape.
Women: YAY!
Slumbara throws 2 women and a man over his shoulders and runs upstairs
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 3 [2d20 = 11]
Women run around, barring the party and the guard from leaving.
Kitten: MEOW?
Meltam Perandus: Don't worry Skittles, we aren't criminals.
Kitten adorably uses paw to cover face to not see what is happening.
Volmalric: I never took you to be an animal person
Slumbara: Several other men and women follow Slumbara upstairs. A number of them come back down a few minutes later, before returning with whips, chains, blades, paddles, handcuffs, candles, gags, a cat-o-nine-tails and what looks like a very small iron maiden
Slumbara: For the rest of the night and into the morning, a cacophony of disturbing noises emanate from Slumbara's room as various male and female prostitutes come and go
Meltam Perandus: Well, certainly this pastime is more wholesome than whatever they have planned for tonight...
Jaunus Prethari makes a few dozen Persuade checks to convince people that Volmalric and his party are giving the prostitutes diseases, burning down buildings, and molesting sheep.
Skittles decides it is safest to go to sleep and imagine he is chasing mice and eating cheese rather than be exposed to what is actually going on.
Volmalric chooses the quietest corner to deal with the progressing headache and to try and blot out the unwholesome recent memories
Meltam Perandus: So....can you think of a way to actually....you know, at least make the two of us look innocent?
Meltam Perandus: I don't think anyone will use innocent to describe Slumbara this lifetime.
Slumbara: The sound of a horse whinnying can be heard from Slumbara's room
Skittles makes cute cat nuzzling noises in his sleep on Meltam's shoulder. (He's a small kitten, about 1lb in weight.)
GM: (Or less, I might be rounding up)
Volmalric: I'm planning on pinning this on the melted man, who I suspect was as upstanding a gentleman as that demon or Jaunus
The night...more or less...passes.
GM: Anything anyone wants to do before the City Watch comes to find the missing City Watch members?
Slumbara emerges from his room just after sunrise
Kazemi (Volmalric): MISSING city watch members?
Feneril (Slumbara): Yeah, the ones that went AWOL to go to a brothel while guarding prisoners
GM: Yes, the City Watch members supposed to be watching you, who actually spent all night in room #6 and #7 having a great time at the city's expense.
Feneril (Slumbara): It was very honorable of you NOT to just run off
Feneril (Slumbara): I mean, Slumbara had other plans
Feneril (Slumbara): But you could have just run off
Kazemi (Volmalric): I considered returning to the barracks to sleep off the traumatic headache, but figured that it's better to remain "good citizens" in light of the bother of the upcoming trial
Slumbara has a nice big breakfast while waiting for the city guard to show up
Feneril (Slumbara): I'm AFK for one sec as well
Feneril (Slumbara): back
Feneril (Slumbara): I don't know, he has been doing it since Deadlands, it seems pretty sustainable to me
City Watch: Oohh hoh! I guess we should take you over to the courthouse.
City Watch yawn and stretches.
Women blow kisses to brave City Guard.
Meltam Perandus: Sure.
Brothel Matron sends giant bill for one night of service to City Government.
Feneril (Slumbara): You tax dollars, hard at work
Skittles does super adorable REDDIT GOLD cat yawn.
Meltam Perandus: Surely civilization will come to rational conclusions in this wonderful world of Hyboria
Volmalric: Well, at least we have an honorable member added to our party
The City Watch takes you to the government building, where you are escorted into Captain Estarcus' office.
Meltam Perandus: Hey friend!
Jaunus Prethari: Yes, these horrible people! You should have seen the violence they inflicted last night.
Captain Estarcus: Oh, I thought that was who you meant Jaunus.
Captain Estarcus: Hello folks, everyone sit down.
Volmalric: Good morning, Captain
Jaunus Prethari: I don't understand why we are here, Magistrate Prethari's office is on the second floor.
Meltam Perandus Sits down in a dignified manner.
Volmalric sits down besides Meltam, shooting Jaunus a glare
Captain Estarcus: He's running a bit late today, he asked me to cover for him.
Slumbara leans against the wall
Jaunus Prethari: This can wait after all, these vagrants must be brought to justice!
Meltam Perandus: Jaunus what are the charges?
Captain Estarcus: Of course. So you told me your story at least....five times now. Would the accused like to say something in their defense?
Slumbara: As you know, I kill people by cutting off their heads
Slumbara: Not turning them into goo
Jaunus Prethari begins crafting brilliant letter to Volmalric's father about how his son his guilty of murder and bestial crimes and the scandal will cost 10000s of Gold to cover up.
Slumbara: Also he owed me money
Slumbara: So I would never kill him until he paid me
Volmalric: Yes, I'd like to say that Mr Jaunus Prethari is a shallow and petty man who witnessed the events last night and is attempting to settle a family grudge at the expense of the city
Captain Estarcus: What about the old woman and the building full of military supplies that burned down?
Slumbara: I suspect Meltam
Jaunus Prethari: LIES!
Slumbara: Well, not the old lady
Slumbara: But the building was not on fire, Meltam went in, then the building was on fire
Jaunus Prethari preps some DOOM pool points for pre-rolled '1's on his rebuttal.
Meltam Perandus: The old woman died of a combination of shock and age. You can hardly accuse us of being the casue of that.
Slumbara: The old lady was killed by the creepy magic man
Volmalric: LIES ARE ALL YOUR FATHER TAUGHT YOU
Volmalric clears his throat
Volmalric: The old woman appeared to have died of fright, which nearly killed me too
Volmalric: The melted man appears to have been some sort of sorcerer. Hence his status as melted.
Slumbara: He was my boss
Meltam Perandus: As for the fire, I presume someone was careless in storing wet tinder. No sooner did I enter the depot than i found myself engulfed!
Slumbara: He hired my company to fight some other sorcerer
Captain Estarcus: Hmmm....yes, yes.
Captain Estarcus is scribbling down notes in some sort of code on his desk.
Jaunus Prethari: Volmalric, your father is impotent and your mother lifts her skirts for any upright male within three baronies!
Slumbara to Volmalric
Slumbara: Is that true?
Volmalric: No it's not true, but you should ask Jaunus's father about the succubus spawn he mated with to give birth to his sons
Skittles runs off Meltam's shoudler on to the desk and begins swatting at the quill with a paw while lying on its back. More REDDIT GOLD from the cuteness.
Slumbara eats popcorn as Volmalric and Jaunus fight
Tack (Meltam Perandus): This is turning into Jerry Springer in an age undreamed of. =D
Feneril (Slumbara): Hence the popcorn
Jaunus Prethari: At least if she was a succubus men would want her. Your brother has a horse's tail so we know who that one's father is!
Volmalric: The fireball happened after Meltam emerged from the warehouse. He was airborn at the time, and blew right through the wall
Captain Estarcus is completely distracted watching Skittles play with the pen. He puts some coins in the desk so Skittles can bat them around like miniature soccer balls.
Meltam Perandus: Animal Handling 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 39]
Jaunus Prethari: Volmalric's hired lackey Meltam unleashed the horrors by opening a sealed Acheronian Canopic Jar! I saw it happen.
Volmalric: Wait, if that was a military warehouse, why was that sorcerer hiding inside of it?
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 25]
Feneril (Slumbara): I shall assist you
Volmalric: Opened a what?
Skittles HISSES
Slumbara: Ok, yeah I did see Meltam open a thing
Skittles LEAPS AT MELTAM WITH CLAWS OUT!
Slumbara: But Meltam is kind of stupid
Skittles: [2d20 = 23]
Skittles: [5d6 = 14]
Feneril (Slumbara): Do you need Slumbara to protect you from your kitten?
Skittles: MEOW!
Skittles licks Meltam's face and acts super cute.
Jaunus Prethari: Okay, the Kitten is really cute.
Slumbara puts his sword away
Meltam Perandus: The poor thing must have shocked nerves from last night. A creature of this innocence is surely ill-suited for a dangerous town on the frontier.
Meltam Perandus is using a Hero Point
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Jaunus Prethari: Yes, the cat is incredibly cute and ill-suited to frontier life.
Captain Estarcus: I especially like the long scarlet trails of slashes it has carved in your arms as it climbed up to your shoulder. Clearly it meant you no harm.
Skittles: MEOW?
Skittles licks Meltam's face adorably.
Meltam Perandus: It does not know its own power.
Meltam Perandus is using a Hero Point
Meltam Perandus: Animal Handling 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 3 [2d20 = 7]
Meltam Perandus: So.....Are there any real charges or is this just a spat between these two?
Slumbara: No, I think that they are both just going to call one anothers mother a whore
Skittles runs around Meltam like a cat having that "post-pooping moment of hyperactive glee" then runs back up his body to his shoulder and begins sleeping blissfully, curled around his neck.
Meltam Perandus purrfect.
Volmalric: I'm rather curious about what YOU were doing down there, Jaunus
Slumbara: Captain, in your official opinion as a peace officer, whose mother is a whore?
Volmalric subtly points at Jaunus
Captain Estarcus: I have no basis of reference, I have limited experience with either family. They are both dandified fops from the interior of Aquilonia.
Slumbara: I agree
Slumbara: Now that we've settled that, lets be off
Captain Estarcus: Err...yes.
Slumbara gets up and heads for the door
Jaunus Prethari: NEVER! They must stand trial. It is might right as the accuser!
Captain Estarcus: Ah yes.
Captain Estarcus: I have no choice but to sentence them to banishment. If you would step outside Jaunus, I will discuss it with them.
Jaunus Prethari: THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS.
Meltam Perandus: Much like your claims, good sir.
Captain Estarcus: Hmm...I'm sure you can file a complaint with your uncle and he and I will discuss it over beers tonight. Toodle-off.
Skittles rolls over, looks at Jaunus with aodrable cat eyes. HISSES loudly.
Jaunus Prethari flees prior to losing control of bowels.
Meltam Perandus takes note.
Meltam Perandus: Well if we are banished where will we go to?
Volmalric sighs as the boy leaves, leaning forward and rubbing his temples
Captain Estarcus: Ah, well, that's just a convenient excuse.
Captain Estarcus: So, I received some bad news last night, and I would like you to investigate it. As far as I can tell it has nothing to do with your hijinks last night, but it might be related.
Slumbara: I hope it wasn't related to MY hijinks last night
Meltam Perandus: Oh goodie, high adventure!
Captain Estarcus: A pair of mercenaries, Arqiite and Guto, murdered Captain Jehannus last night and have fled to the south.
Captain Estarcus: Find them, bring them back, dead if you have to.
Volmalric: Understood
Volmalric: Was Captain Jehannus involved in the incident last night?
GM: BACKGROUND STUFF....
Captain Jehannus was the commander of the Mercenary Unit that Meltam worked for prior to the start of the campaign. Arqiite (a Shemite) and Guto (a Bossonian) were also members of the same unit. Meltam had seen all 3 of them at different times over the past few days. He has no idea what they have been up to, or what would have caused the murder.
Captain Estarcus: Volmalric, not that I'm aware of.
Captain Estarcus: But I'm not ruling out anything.
Skittles snores with adorable kitty cuteness.
Volmalric nods his head
Slumbara: Well we'd better find their trail while it is still fresh
Slumbara: Where did they kill him?
Captain Estarcus: In the common room of a tavern near the south gate.
Volmalric: Also, I suspect that the Stygian sorcerer who melted last night was waiting inside of the warehouse. I'm not sure why, because most people don't just loiter inside warehouses, but it's another thing to look into
Captain Estarcus: Both men fled over the walls while the watch was distracted putting out a fire in the warehouse district.
Captain Estarcus rolls eyes as if to say, 'not sure how that happened....'
Slumbara: A fire that Meltam started... Meltam, do you know where these two men are?
Meltam Perandus: The scorceror that enlisted our fine, professional, mercenary services; in my appraisal, would he hire those two as goons to silence someone who knew too much?
Slumbara puts on his investigator's cap
Meltam Perandus: Intelligence - 8 Successes = 1 [2d20 = 17]
Meltam Perandus: I do not know where. I vaguely recall who they are.
Captain Estarcus: It's the Sleeping Badger Inn, when you get there, tell the barman, Aldus, that I sent you and I'll pay him the 5 coppers I owe him next time I see him.
Slumbara: Ok, I will forget all of that, but Ok!
Slumbara: Let's go kill Meltam's friends!
Slumbara: Wait
Slumbara stops
Slumbara: We're getting paid for this, right?
Meltam Perandus: Slumbara. In this case it may be best to take them alive.
Meltam Perandus: Perhaps that's not your style, but do try and remember, they extended you that courtesy once.
Meltam Perandus: Persuade 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 25]
Slumbara: Discipline 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 9]
Captain Estarcus: Yes, I counted him as a friend, and his family is offering a reward also. You shall get paid.
Slumbara: Great news, Slumbara is happy to help
Slumbara happily trundles out of the Captain's office, whistling
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 [2d20 = 15]
Volmalric: What do I know of the Jehannus and his prevoius Merc unit?
Slumbara heads towards the Sleeping Badget Inn (whenever Volmalric and Meltam join him outside)
Meltam Perandus: Thank you Captain. I pray that we will make the best of this further opportunity you have granted on us.
Feneril (Slumbara): I can be good for about another half hour, or stop whenever if it is too late
Meltam Perandus: Society 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 1 [2d20 = 22]
Meltam Perandus: ist here some sort of Mercenary registry in Hyboria? Some where you could look up records of service?
-> Meltam Perandus: Not in this area. There are some in other areas where Mercenary Units are more common.
Campaign saved.
