Syr comes back with his construction crew and donates his time and money to get the accomidations better at the Plantation/Orhpanage. His construction boss sits down with Buckle, Kaye, Katrin, and Lilly and start drawing out plans for the needed work and buildings. After several hours the scope of the needed work is decided upon and the supervisor (Syr Do you have names for these people? Don't want to just make them up if you do.) tells you with the current crew of 6 man, he will be there for about 5 months. They are going to build 3 cottages, 1 barracks type building and several storage sheds for supplies and add on an outdoor kitchen to help with the food production. The cost of the project will come in around 3,000 gps for materials, labor and supplies for the work force.
That could be cut down to 2,000 if we lumber surrounding trees to help make planks but that will extend the time out to 7 months.
(Syr you need to cut you weekly profits in half during this period since half your work force is here...doing not profit stuff.)
Angus searches around but isn't able to locate any of his Plateau City friends. Still he enjoys his time at the library doing his research.
On the 5th day, the group mostly track each other down and met at the Samson. They all seem refreshed and ready to move on. They discuss if they want to go to the temples and check out this possible test.
OOC LOOT!!!
From the meadow battle you got a Staff of Fire! OH yeah, you leat a giant chop in in half....never mind You also received 359 gps, 75 pps and two rubies worth 100 gps each. You looted 2 potions from the ogre mage
From the 1/2 orc leader you stole his magic longsword.
From the caves you got a total of 9,683 gps a pearl necklace worth 1,500, 10 potions (6 identified as cure moderate potions)and 1 greatsword with magic and a large steel shield with magic.

Bin takes his profit from the business and hands it back to Syr as donations to the orphanage to help get it built bigger and better.
"We should keep the potions. No need in selling them when we have others here that can use them later. Any idea what the other six are? Two from the ogre mage and four from the stash? I can lend a try to see what they are."
Spellcraft on potions. Potions: 12 (Nat. 1), 23, 27, 20, 23, 20 Long Sword 1/2 orc leader 18 Great Sword from giant 26 Large Shield from Giant 17 (Pretty lousy rolls in general.)
"How much do you think we can get for the unusable magic?"
Angus Sunday May 20th, 2007 10:17:42 AM
Angus slaps Bin on the back "Thanks for backing me up on identifing the potions. It is good to have two people check each other. What did you find?"
Angus looks around at those assembled "I wanted to go back tot he library, does someone want to go to the catacombs and identify the remaining items? Do we keep the cure potions in the party? I think we should and spread them around."
Xenia Sunday May 20th, 2007 11:20:30 AM "You feeling alright, Wynn?" The dark girl scoots her chair up next to his. Taking his arm, she cuddles in. "I mean, you been sorta really thoughtful lately. Anything on your mind?"
"I'll go with you, Belkie. Always did like the Cathedral of Light. Get this feeling of coming back to it. Even the first time I ever went. Weerd, huh?"
"I'll take the stuff into the Catcombs for a look tomorrow too, Bin. See how much we got. Need to resupply some stuff. And watching Angus when we fought that Mage Ogre Guy gave me some ideas too."
She rests her head on Wynn's shoulder. So strong and warm.
"Wonder where Mira and those guys are," she murmurs, sleepy, cat content. "Probs out saving Plateau City from more evil cults. You think?"
DM George Sunday May 20th, 2007 3:56:35 PM
ooc Everyone gets 1 hero point for the last module
Belkior gets 2 total for his bravery in taking some hits while curing his friends
Wynn could have gotten an extra but already rewarded him
Xenia gets 2 (total) for standing up to foes beyond her capabilities
Lang gets 2 (total) for going toe to toe with the giant.
Please add them to your character sheets
Wynn Sunday May 20th, 2007 8:41:36 PM
"I'm alright", he answers Xenia, hoping the uncertainty he feels isn't carried in the tone of his voice. "I just needed some time to think through a few things".
When Xenia leaves with Belkior, the bard goes back to his journal and finishes chronicling his experience inside the burning longhouse.
Belkior Sunday May 20th, 2007 10:10:06 PM
The halfling cleric nods to Xenia, eager to both see the Cathedral of Light and visit the Catacombs. Belkior has some ideas for spending any cash or items that he receives as his share.
"Let's go, Xenia. We can stop by the Catacombs on the way there, get the items appraised and then go to the Cathedral."
Belkior will walk lightly through the streets of Plateau City. Going back to the Cathedral of Light is always enjoyable, for this was where he first entered the priesthood of Alemi and began studying healing. He still remembers the joy he felt as enlightenment came to him.
After stopping at the Catacombs, Belkior will lead the way to the Cathedral. Once he and Xenia are inside the imposing front doors of the Cathedral, Belkior will look for one of the junio acolytes that serve as door wardens.
"We'd like to speak to an elder, as early as possible. Can you help us?"
Xenia - OoC Sunday May 20th, 2007 10:25:04 PM
In line at the Catacombs now. Identifying and selling:

Lang heads with Xenia when she goes to the catacombs. He wants to get the price on a few items for their next adventure.
Syr Monday May 21st, 2007 12:22:04 AM
Syr smiles at those who donated back to the orphanage, "Thanks guys, you know how much they need it."
Syr ducks out early one morning to visit the Catacombs. Mumbling to himself as he quietly shuts the door, "I sure hope that mind freak isn't working today."
DM George Monday May 21st, 2007 10:33:50 PM
The group gathers together for a meal and discusses loot, buying more magic and a discussion starts on what to do next. Should they stay here in the Plateau City or head back to the Floating City. Where will they go.
OOC Guys I am almost finished with the module and almost ready to send it to Jerry. I don't know how quickly I am gonna get it back so give me a couple of ideas for some stuff you might want to fill in with.
I will state that you want to spend your money now. Where you are going will not have access to the Catacombs and you won't be able to go shopping for real time months.
Bin Monday May 21st, 2007 11:27:17 PM
Meeting back up with his comrades, Bin relates stories of his week on the road. He also goes shopping with his money.
OOC: Will do Catacombs this week.
Xenia Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 10:53:00 AM
"Hey, Bin, I think you should do more Divinations," the rogue says as they make their way to the Cathedral of Light. "I mean, if this is gonna be as big a thing as it's all talked up to be, then we should, you know, find out as much about it as we can."
"You think they'll be able to tell us anything there, Belkie?" she asks the halfling.
"You know, I think I'll put off buying anything at the Catacombs until we find out what the gods can tell us. Whatcha thing about that, huh?"
Angus Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 11:50:15 AM
Angus exclaims "Excellent work Xenia and Bin. I am off to the Catacombs to spend some of our hard earned booty. See ya soom."
Bin Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 2:29:35 PM
Bin ponders Xenia's question and asks her, "What types of questions do you have for Domi, Xenia? I am still not powerful enough to hold a one on one conversation with him, but I can get some yes or no answers pretty easily. Keep in mind, if Domi does not have the answer, he can not provide one. I can ask nine questions though."
Bin Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 3:07:03 PM
Bin's proposed questions for a Commune spell.
Will this test occur during our next adventure? Will this test be a test for the Wold? Will this test be a test, just for this group? Will we be seperated from our properties? Can this test be prevented, or stopped? Is this test a natural disaster? Is this test a divine test? Will we remain in the Wold?
These are just a few suggestions. Bin would like to hear input from the others before he casts the spell.
Xenia (2nd Illegal Post) Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 3:22:04 PM
The rogue considers the question.
"How about ... When will this test be coming to us?"
Hmmmm ...
"Or, how 'bout ... What sort of critters are we gonna run into in this test?"
OoC: Have you tried using Divination instead of Commune? Or possibly use a mix of the two?
Bin (3rd illegal post) Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 3:56:54 PM
"Divination spell, in itself, is a very short term spell. I can have an answer about a subject in regard to one week. The Commune spell, on the other hand, is less informative verbally, has long lasting information on a particular subject, but it must be in a yes or no question. If the power of Domi decides to impart more to me then thatm it is both possible and a blessing, but I would never think that would happen."
Then to answer her question, "Asking when the test will come or what creatures we will face are not yes or no questions, in regard to the Commune spell, but if I were to cast a Divination spell now in regard to this week, I can find that answer for you. Do you want me to find out if the test will start this week?"
OOC: I wouldn't know how to use a mix of the two. Is that possible?
Xenia - OoC Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 4:11:31 PM
1) Prepare at least one Commune and one Divination. 2) Cast Commune. Ask if the test will come within one week. 2) If Yes, cast Divination. Ask what kind of critters we will be forced to fight in the test.
Wynn Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 5:37:09 PM
"Perhaps we should ask questions about the kinds of creatures we might face or the elements that might test us, for example, 'Will we be tested by the undead?" or we could ask 'Will resistance to electricity be a boon to us?' These might help us better prepare for what lies ahead. "
Lang & Sunshine Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 9:21:31 PM
Lang continues to wait patiently in line at the catacombs.
Belkior Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 10:00:57 PM
The halfling cleric wonders what he might learn from the elder at the Cathedral. Bin and Xenia seem determined to learn as much as they can about the coming test and he wants to be prepared for it.
DM George "Attention" Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 10:32:48 PM
The group ponders ways of finding out about their fate and futures. Should they ask the Gods? Will the Gods even answer? Do the Gods even know? Only time and actually casting the spells will tell.
As the group eats their meals and ponders, Wynn notices a very attractive human female checking him out. She seems to be staring at him in frank curiosity.
He also notices that the waitress seems to be hovering over him, looking to refill his platter or goblet of wine. She seems to be rubbing her breasts on his shoulder and arm alot as she reaches over him.
Angus Tuesday May 22nd, 2007 11:03:08 PM
Angus waits in the catacombs, but want to live vicariously through Wynn.
Xenia Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 9:32:38 AM
Sometimes it's not always pretty. Being the girl who sees everything that goes on. A small fuse burns spark bright in the heart and mind of the flame headed rogue. But when you got the best guy in the Wold, other girls are gonna look. Question is ... whacha gonna do about it?
"Hey Wynn," Xenia scoots in pushing the wait girl out of the way, "you see that human girl over there? She's checking you out. She's ... I mean, kinda cute, huh?"
Al - OoC Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 11:23:09 AM
Both Syr and Lang are now being helped in the Catacombs.
-----------------------
Angus is jealous as he is being ignored......
Bin Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 12:48:54 PM
Bin first casts his Divination spell.
"Oh great god of defenders, please share with us if in this week we will have begun the test of which you spoke?"
Bin will hear this response before going into a Commune spell.
(ooc: Just put my ticket in at Catacombs.)
Syr Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 7:35:54 PM
Oblivious to the looks Wynn is getting, Syr concentrates on thoughts of Business, wondering how Dotta, Noria and the others are completing the work on the orphanage.
Wynn Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 7:59:52 PM
The half-elf notices the girl from across the room and flashes her a quick smile before returning his attention to the matters at hand. He deftly slips the serving girl a tip for her 'extra efforts' before Xenia manages to supplant her.
"Who? The one across the room? Do you think she knows me from somewhere? Should I go over and inquire?" he asks Xenia with all innocence.
If Wynn has any idea of the effect he is having on women he does not let on to Xenia
Xenia Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 8:47:10 PM
"Ooooo!" The ire turns up a notch. "Wynn! You gotta know she's, like, wanting you!" Xenia's voice is a low whisper filled with the volume of intensity.
"But I don't mind, Wynn. I love you. And I want for you what makes you happy. Even ... " Her lip trembles and forces itself to a pout of its own volition until the girl rogue pulls it back to the shape of firm resolution. "Even if it means you wanna see other girls."
"I love you. And I want you to be happy."
Belkior Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 10:02:34 PM
The halfling cleric picks at his meal, wondering what they might do.
"Bin, given enough time, I can cast some divination spells, too. Let me memorize them and I'll cast them after you do yours. That way I might be able to get some clarification of the answers that you receive."
After he says this, Belkior will scratch some figures on a scrap of parchment. Anyone who looks over his shoulder can't really tell what he is doing, but Belkior will answer if asked.
OOC - Assuming one week (7 days) for enchantment. If this isn't correct, please let me know.
Lang & Sunshine Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 10:30:30 PM
"Bin, maybe you can try to find out how we are going to get to this test."
"I'm hungry. What are we doing for dinner?"
DM George Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 11:13:52 PM
Bin casts his spell and asks his God about the timing of the upcoming test. He finds finds himself in another place, everything around him is a grey mist. He feels a presence but can't see where it is. The test is coming. The test is coming soon. Prepare yourselves
The barmaid looks at Xenia with disdain and leans down to and starts whispering in Wynn's ear. "A big powerful man like you deserves better than this slip of a girl. Come away with me and I will show you how a real woman treats a real man like you." The barmaid almost looks surprised at herself as she whispers these words but starts caressing the Bard's arm in any case.
Angus d20+9=28 Wednesday May 23rd, 2007 11:52:40 PM
Angus sets his wine glass down and watches Wynn's reaction. At the same time, he pulls out his flute and begins to play a tune. Angus thinks to himself, lets change the tune in the room.
Perform 28
The moment seems to grab Angus and his flute comes alive. The tune is livly and spirited. "Bin, this lass needs to dance. Lets see what Domi taught you." Angus points at the Barmaid hovering over Wynn with his flute.
Bin Thursday May 24th, 2007 10:02:04 AM
"I don't think this is what the lady needs at all." Bin casts a quick DETECT MAGIC spell and looks directly at the bar maid. Then looks at the other women giving him the looks as well. "I find it all to convienent for some ladies finding Wynn so attractive." Looking to Wynn, "Not that you arn't, but I think it's rather odd that they would be so bold with a known woman as dangerous as yourself Xenia, around. I think there me some outside influence involved. Perhaps, our test has arrived?"
Xenia Thursday May 24th, 2007 12:07:26 PM
Just having her here's gotta be putting pressure on him. That's not what being together is about. He needs to be free to do what he wants. Xenia draws close to Wynn's ear.
"I'll be at home, Hon."
Wood scrapes on wood as she pushes back her chair and stands.
"You know, what you say to Wynn is between you and Wynn." The rogue levels her green eyes at the waitress. "But that Curly Lip look and the Slip of a Girl thing, that's between me and you. I don't like the disrespect. And I know where you work. You don't shape up, I'm gonna come back and punch your lights."
With that, she turns and leaves the inn, making her way back to their new place up on Merchant Level.
Wynn Thursday May 24th, 2007 8:22:45 PM
Xenia's words shock the half-elf.
You gotta know she's, like, wanting you...but I don't mind...I want for you what makes you happy...even if it means you wanna see other girls...
The bard looks at the half-drow in disbelief as a confusion of thoughts flood his mind and the girl makes a dash for the door.
Wynn jumps up, brushing past the bar-maid, and follows Xenia out into the street in front of Sampsons. Grabbing Xenia's elbow firmly, he spins her around. "Xenia! How can you be so cruel! I thought you..." the words hang in the air unsaid, searching her face, he fixes his green eyes on hers, "...this sudden...but I..." Wynn crushes the rogue to his chest, inhaling the smell of her, then thrusts her back, holding her away from him, both hands on her shoulders, to maintain the distance. In a voice husky with emotion, he changes the subject.
"A test is coming. A quest that will test the metal of our party. We do not know from what quarter the request will come, nor when, nor from whom. Regardless, the Crimson Shield's must be ready. We must be strong, prepared, and working together as one mighty force for good, against an evil we do not yet know." Wynn searches the dark face, before continuing, "I felt it when he spoke to me after the...fire. Bin knows it. In your bones, you must know it."
Wynn removes his hands from Xenia's shoulders. Even as the passion leaves him, he feels a new strength, a confidence, in what he has said. Turning, his hand on the door, Wynn speaks softly, "I'm going back...to gather information...learn what I can. Are you coming?"
Lang & Sunshine Thursday May 24th, 2007 10:07:18 PM
Lang grabs a drink and watches the cat fight that appears to be happening. That Wynn, he always gets the girls.
Lang ponders what to buy from the catacombs as it has thrown wrinkle in his plans.
Belkior Thursday May 24th, 2007 10:23:52 PM
The halfling cleric is distracted as the barmaid accosts Wynn, and the subsequent ... discussion ... between Xenia and the barmaid. The results of Bin's spell trouble him since he was expecting more information. When Belkior looks around, he looks for Bin and Angus.
"Should I cast as well? Do you think that Alemi would provide more information?"
Then Belkior tries to get his companions to discuss what magic items he should make.
Xenia Thursday May 24th, 2007 10:26:04 PM
Xenia blinks in surprise, her arms had automatically sought him as his had reached for her.
"I ... I thought you might want some time ... Wynn."
Then she slips her hand into his.
"I'm with you. Always."
(Krypes, how could I forget we were still in Plateau City?"
DM George Thursday May 24th, 2007 10:40:48 PM
Xenia makes her speech and runs out of the bar, only to be followed by Wynn. The other Crimson Shields can see that every woman's eye from young to old seems to follow the Bard out the door and then sigh with disappointment at his disappearance.
Bin casts his detect magic and doesn't see any magic on the barmaid. When he looks at Wynn, he does notice some kind of magic surrounds his new friend.
The general discussion continues on Catacomb purchases and such until Lang looks up to see a well built teenager standing before him. He sees pleasant enough if not a little nervous. "Uhhhmmm excuse me sir but my friends bet me that I couldn't beat you in an arm wrestling contest. Would you care to have a go?"
Angus d20+9=22 Thursday May 24th, 2007 11:49:32 PM
Angus give a low whistle when Xenia and Wynn leave "Women can be so entangling." and he looks at the barmaid. "Are you going to behave yourself lass."
When the youth approaches Lang, Angus has to stifle a laugh "Just be careful he does not eat your arm lad. That is if you are not strong enough and he happens to rip it off. It has been known to happen from time to time."
Bluff 22
Syr d20+21=40 Friday May 25th, 2007 1:20:14 AM
Syr wakes up from his revere to approach the challenger. Standing toe to toe with the youth he glares at him, "Kid, are you SURE that you want to do that? I mean, I've got some arms myself but I wouldn't take on the bugbear here." (Intimidate 40!)
Turning away, he winks at Lang before resuming his seat. Leaning over to Bin, "Continuing on this test theme... You know maybe Wynn's test is temptation? Lesse Xenia's is her self-esteem? Lang here is either humor or arm strength, I dunno which? What do ya think?"
Xenia d20+7=14 Friday May 25th, 2007 9:32:01 AM
Sliver had always been the Soft one. Xenia's adoptive mother had always been there with the smile or the quiet words, turning eyes and kindly thoughts to herself while Marcus had worked the keen, hard, business end of things. Even as a small dark child, Xenia had a sense for the teamwork that was at play. But she'd never developed a full appreciation for the depth of it until working with Wynn here, now.
(Aide Another 14, Gather Information +2 to Wynn)
Lang & Sunshine Friday May 25th, 2007 2:35:23 PM
Lang is enjoying the down time when the boy comes over and challenges him to a strength test.
Lang looks the kid up and down, noting that he appears to be fit. Something doesn't feel right, but Lang can't put his finger on it.
"What reason do I have to arm wrestle you? Where is the challenge in it for me? Perhaps you should challenge someone else."
Lang continues to sit with his friends, scratching Sunshine behind the ears.
Bin d20+9=23 Friday May 25th, 2007 4:56:11 PM
"There you are lad. You can save face with your friends, now your offer has been refused. Actually, we have rather important matters to attend to if you don't mind?"
Bin continues with his friends, "It seems Wynn's new blessing may well have a curse attached to it. He is much more attractive with the blessing, I am guessing." Bin apologizes to the barmaid if she is still around.
Bin then casts his Commune spell, with the plan that Belkior will do one for back up questions.
#1 Will this test be in the form of a natural disaster? #2 Will this test involve us staying near our properties. #3 Will this test have us in conflict with the living? #4 Will this test involve us facing hostile elements? #5 Will this test involve us in comflict with extra planar creatures? #6 Will there be a leader or leaders we must defeat? #7 Will we encounter undead on this test? #8 Is there something we need and do not have, that is necessary to complete this test? #9a (If 8 is yes)Is that "something" we have a chance of getting during the tset? #9b (If 8 is no) Will we be leaving civilization?
Actions: Diplomacy 23 on young man to see him off. Cast Commune spell
DM George Friday May 25th, 2007 8:41:49 PM
The youth being rebuffed looks both relieved and disappointed at the same time but does retreat back to his friends. There is some backslapping and it looks to be good natured teasing going on.
Bin casts his commune and his answers come:
#1 Will this test be in the form of a natural disaster? NO #2 Will this test involve us staying near our properties. NO #3 Will this test have us in conflict with the living? Yes #4 Will this test involve us facing hostile elements? Unclear #5 Will this test involve us in comflict with extra planar creatures? Unclear #6 Will there be a leader or leaders we must defeat? Yes #7 Will we encounter undead on this test? Unclear #8 Is there something we need and do not have, that is necessary to complete this test? No #9a (If 8 is yes)Is that "something" we have a chance of getting during the tset? #9b (If 8 is no) Will we be leaving civilization? Yes
Bin comes out of his spell looking thoughtful.
The lass looks at Angus and smiles, "I thought I was behaving myself but your friend is so sexy. He almost seems to glow."
Buzz Saturday May 26th, 2007 1:32:55 PM
Bin smiles at the girl. He wonders why he would give such power over woment o a bard instead of a priest. Then he answers his question out loud, no one ever having heard the question, "Priests would never get any work done if we had that kind of power. How about another round please?"
Looking thoughtful to the group he responds to his own spell. "It seems we better pack our bags, we are going on safari."
Belkior Saturday May 26th, 2007 10:24:30 PM
The halfling cleric excuses himself, motioning towards the outside and vaguely towards the nearest Catacombs outlet.
"Is anyone else going? I wouldn't mind the company, if you are."
With that, Belkior takes his leave and goes to the Catacombs. The halfling will be busy over the next several days working on some new items for himself and the party.

Giving the halfling a small wave as he leaves, "Been there, done that. Ask for TJ, very helpful chap."
Now genuinely perplexed by the attention the bard is receiving, he calls out as he reenters, "Hey Wynn, what's your secret? One of those fancy new soaps?"
Wynn d20+13=31 Sunday May 27th, 2007 6:47:12 PM
The bard re-enters Sampsons and makes his way over to the bar where he engages the barkeep and any others in idle conversation. For his part he tells of the groups adventures. Whenever he hears anything intriguing he probes for further information. [Gather information =31]
When Syr asks how he does it, he shrugs and replies "Just good looking I guess".
Xenia Sunday May 27th, 2007 10:42:35 PM
"Um, yeah. Alright. I'll go with you, Belkie."
It's harder work than you'd think, but he makes it look so easy. That's the conclusion the rogue comes up with after spending the time next to Wynn, sitting, smiling, listening, occasionally adding a comment that might steer the things in the right direction for, Wynn.
"Be back in a bit ... " The rogue brushes aside his gorgeous hair and puts a kiss inside his ear. " ... Mister Just Good Looking." Mmmmm ...
"Be right back."
Lang & Sunshine Sunday May 27th, 2007 10:57:12 PM
Lang and Sunshine follow Belkior out the door. Yeah we got to get back there and finish our order. With that they head to the catacombs.
Bin Monday May 28th, 2007 9:24:03 AM
"I have done so as well, good luck on what you may find. I was expecting a time period that they would need to have my armor fixed to my size, but they probly dug up a suit in back that once belonged to an elf."
"I hope that mt Dwarven plate won't be a hindrence where we are going."
Wynn, if you have the disguise skill, perhaps you could ugly yourself up a little, so the bugbears and priests might have a shot at the ladies as well." Bin elbows the ranger in the side softly in jest.

OOC Still looking for some character sheets. Need to get them in folks. Want to start the new module on Wed. so any business that needs to be done, needs to be done tomorrow.
The group sees to be actively trying to stay out of trouble with the locals. No cat fights or arm wrestling these week. They discuss plans but no reaction to Bin's question and answers from his God. Guess we are getting a little blaise.
They group finishes their planning and several make a last minute trip to the Catacombs to make some last minute purchases.
Belkior Monday May 28th, 2007 10:04:25 PM
The halfling cleric checks in with his companions when he takes an occasional break from crafting some magic items. Belkior wants to discuss what Bin learned from his spell.
"So, we're going to be doing some fighting and going into the wilderness. We might, or might not, be fighting undead or outsiders. And we might have to endure hard conditions."
"Am I the only one who isn't surprised by those answers? Should I ask Alemi for similar advice, perhaps concentrating on some aspects?"
Angus Tuesday May 29th, 2007 8:39:09 AM
Angus is still waiting for his items at the Catacombs desk.

OOC: Will send you the updated character sheet as soon as I get my Catacombs trasaction complete. Everything is done but that.

"We will need to notify our workers that we will be gone for awhile. That way they don't think we packed up and left them two properties on the Merchant Level."
"I also suggest we stock up on minor things like oil and Holy Water. I don't know when we will again find a proper font to make the water, and oil pits are rare enough in themselves."
"The real question is, should we get horses or a wagon?" OOC:Didn't we take some out to the orphanage, along with the wagon? Did we bring them here?
"Perhaps those are some of the questions Belkior can ask when he does his Commune to Alemi."
Bin drinks quite a bit and enjoys himself. Who knows when they will get this opportunity again, if ever?
Xenia Tuesday May 29th, 2007 3:28:15 PM
"You know, I can think of all kinds of things to bring with, Bin," Xenia says as she is slipping out the door. "Problem is, if we bring stuff for which we need a horse and cart, what do we do with the horse and cart if we can't bring them along. 'Specially that poor horse?"
"Awful convenient, that what Florin could do. Magicing his horse outta nowhere whenever he wanted. I wouldn't mind being able to do that."
"Hey, Belkie, whyn'cha ask Alemi if we'll be doing most of this test outside under the open sky, huh? I'd like to know what the field is gonna be like, if you get my meaning?"
Syr Tuesday May 29th, 2007 8:59:32 PM
Moving up to bin and nudging him slightly with a shoulder, "What? Won't wear any elf's armor?"
Nodding at Bin, he smiles, "Not a problem Bin, I left instructions with the construction company for the next couple months. We still seem to be doing well and have a slight backlog of orders now that half the group is working on the farm."

The group is scattered, some doing shopping, some sitting around and talking. All of them no matter where they are, grab their heads in blinding pain. It seems like something is scrying them. Something or someone is digging around in their heads, searching, questing. The searcher is definitely not friendly and all of the Crimson Shields are driven to their knees and then to the floor. They roll around in pain unable to control themselves. The pain is overwhelming and when they are all just praying for death, the pain is gone.
The are left with a feeling of disdain and contempt.
As the Shields pick themselves up, they notice people staring at them and realize that they are a mess. How long were they rolling around. It felt like forever. Several vomited from the pain, others couldn't hold their bowels. All of them need to get cleaned up.
I need character sheets from Wynn and Lang. I need them by tomorrow. If not, you will be stuck with your character sheets that I presently have for the next module. No fun so get them in!!!

Angus slowly rises as he spits to clear his mouth "Yuck." Angus is carrying wine, but that does not seem appropriot for the moment, he needs water. Angus looks for the nearest inn or water trough so that he can douse his head. Now sopping wet, Angus looks around to see who else felt that invasion as he holds his head.
"What is the name of creation was that?"
Xenia - From the Catacombs Wednesday May 30th, 2007 11:24:16 AM
"Looks like you got some new treats at the snack baAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ... "
The slim dark girl raises up her hands to grip her head and falls backwards and out of sight. A sick hollow thump comes from the other side of the counter followed by rapid staccato bursts as her feet kick out at all wood surfaces in her thrashing fit.
The one long raw scream with its desperate panicked thrashing goes on and on. Then abruptly it stops. Up from the silence that follows drifts a soft incoherent whimper.
Bin Wednesday May 30th, 2007 12:20:06 PM
Mid drink, the pain hits him, he drops his mug and grabs his head. The sound of pottery breaking on the floor, drowned aout by the cry of pain. If Bin hadn't drank so much, he might have had better muscle control, alas, that is not the case. He soils himeself as well as vomits up along the table. The sudden shock passing, the pain does not. He reaches over with one hand and grabs his Holy Symbol, and begins chanting prayers to Domi for forgiveness on his transactions. Surely, he has upset his god. It finally passes and as lucidity returns, he realizes all the shields were effected and not just him.
With a disgusted look on his face, he calls over to the barmaid, careful in his attempt to avoid being called poopy pants. "I need a room to clean up in please."
He then looks back to the group, I kind of wish I had held off on that Commune spell. I have thought of a few new questions to ask.
Wynn d20+7=23 Wednesday May 30th, 2007 5:47:32 PM
The bard is in mid-conversation with one of the barmaids when the probing begins. His ale falls to the floor as his hands go for his head. He manages to stagger out of Sampson's to the street before the pain drops him to his knees. Unable to fight the effects of the intrusion, Wynn passes out, only to awaken to the questioning looks of several bystanders, including the rather attractive barmaid. He is drenched in a cold sweat and excuses himself to get cleaned up and changed.
Syr Wednesday May 30th, 2007 7:15:32 PM
Rasing from behind the now broken bench, Syr wipes his cheek, "Bin, mind if I join you for that clean up?" Moving with the halfling, he comments, "I got the feeling something was watching me and something not nice, how about you? Methinks that I'm not gonna like this test."
Lang & Sunshine Wednesday May 30th, 2007 9:05:01 PM
Lang sinks to his knees from the pain in his head. It goes on for what seems forever and then finally lets up.
He picks himself up off the street oblivious to the stares from the people around him. He has one thought on his mind and that is to find his friends ... and a bath.
