Echlhin casts Heal upon himself after entering the inn, and after returning to find that the foes have left ends his Darkwalk and returns to where the old man was, to see if he is going to explain what just happened.

Tratain manages to avoid part of the more powerful of the two Fireballs, but the second one he is unable to dodge at all. At the end of it he is a little Crispy and alot annoyed.
He casts Heal on Himself and Monthor if he needs it. When the man walks out of the Alley he says "You Sir have a whole lot of explaining to do. Who were those men and why were they after you. They didn't seem to have any qualms killing anyone who got in their way. I would like an explanation now."

Reflex saves 31 and 31
--------------------------------
Monthor gladly accepts the heal spell from tratain. Cursing himself for not switching out his rings, Monthor puts on his ring of Energy Resistance. He then pokes a bit at the dead body. Monthor sees if any of the fighter's gear remains intake. If there's anything left, he then waves over his party mates. " This stuff is likely good quality but Me's a bit worried about the weapons. Anyone have a detect magic or a detect evil spell they can cast? "

Vedik relaxes slightly as the immediate threat seems to have passed. He turns his attention to the old man that seems to have started it all.
Bits and Pieces [DM Jeff] Tuesday June 2nd, 2009 4:38:51 PM
As most of the group moves to ask questions of the Old Man, his eyes are on Monthor. At first he shouts from within the silence spell and then, realizing his prediciment, hobbles towards the dwarf. "TOUCH NOTHING!"
The Old Man reaches into a bag at his waist and pulls a long cane out of it, much longer than the bag is. Carefully, he approaches the goo that Monthor is investigating. In his speech is nothing of the mysterious stranger of before. "These men were a Deathsquad. Agents of the Sons of Dread. Who you have recently aggrivated." The cane prods the clothing as it continues to melt, until he finds a small golden coin. He flicks it out of the mess and then drops the already-melting cane to the ground. The coin would almost be ignoreable if it were not for the glowing skull adorning it.
"My name is Vran. I was once an Agent of the Sons. The coins are cursed. The results can be... alarming." He pulls out a coin that is an exact replica of the one on the ground. "But now I am a servant of only the Great Eye. There are very few of them who know who I used to be. That may not be so for much longer... But regardless I have been charged with reminding you of the promise you made to Him and to help you on your way to that."

Echlhin listens to what Vran has to say, waiting for the group to respond to his statements as he has little knowledge as to what promises the Knights have made.

Tratain listens to what Vran has to say and then responds "I would like to know more about those men who attacked us, they seemed quite capable. I would like to know everything you know about them and if you know how we can find them. Also if you know anything about the Sons of Dread or where we might find them we would appreciate that knowledge as well. We have a bit of a score to settle with them."
Vedik AC 25 (13 touch) HP 214/214 Character SheetCurrent Spells Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 7:57:43 AM
Vedik nods, descending to the floor. "Yes, quite a score."
He listens to what the old priest has to say. This sort of inside information did not come lightly, nor cheaply, and the old dwarf respects that.
He reminds the group. "In the morning, I will by Alemi's grace be transformed. I plan to make arrangements for our teleportation to wherever we wish to destroy the orb. With luck, we can put that behind us and be ready within the day to deal fully with the Sons of Dread."
Plyf (AC:23; HP: 127/137) d20+5=14 ; Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 11:58:21 AM
Plyf is very happy that no innocents in the streets were harmed by the encounter and even more so that buildings also remain in tact.
Jumping lithly down to the ground from the roof, she rejoins the others and listens to Vran before asking.
"How does one actually leave the Sons of Dread and why would you want to? It takes an evil individual to want to join such an organization and to swear fealty to the undead is not something one takes lightly, so tell us your storey old man, if you have any chance of us believing you." She looks to her companions as she continues, "Otherwise, how do we know this isn't some elaborate trap, to make sure the orbs are together for therm to retreave?"
After a moment she asks, "What promise is he speaking of? I have made no promise, but I'm not opposed to helping you all with one, if you have declared an oath to perform an action."
Dwight hp 144, ac 26 Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 5:29:08 PM
Dwight nods and waits for Vran response, in particular he looks for a measure of proof, and perhaps some level of explanation before the grounds erupts again.
MonthorHit Points:(172 of 172) AC 32 (34 against evil) Wednesday June 3rd, 2009 7:53:51 PM
Monthor looks at the Old Man and what he did with the dead body...
" Safe to search him now? "
The Step-Son of Dread? [DM Jeff] Thursday June 4th, 2009 2:02:25 AM
At Monthor, Vran points as the goo. "Give it another moment to let his body... turn. And then salvage what you can." His choice of words appears to be accurate. Of the equipment that hasn't been turned to goo, there is a set of half-plate armor, and amulet, and his light pick. [OOC: I'm sure you'll do the work to find out. I'm writing this down right now so you know and I don't forget. +3 Mithril Half-Plate, Amulet of Natural Armor [+1], +1 Light Pick [Chaotic]. Also, the rest of the equipment... Dan and I just forgot. I'll have that ASAP.]
Vran sighes and shakes his head, not so much at the Knights but more at himself. The old man doesn't seem to notice that the coin is bouncing along his fingers. After all the Knights have their say, he sighes again and then begins to speak.
"Miss, I appreciate your idealized notions of right and wrong, bu-." He stops, glances at the coin and then to Plyf and then starts speaking again. "No. I won't make excuses. You are correct. Of the mistakes I've made, and there have been plently, those pacts... They will haunt me for the rest of my days. As for them, I cannot tell you much about that specific group. Little more than strangers. But they are one of many Dread Deathsquads. They are answerable to almost none but themselves. I... I led one. I will not detail what I did, but you know the Sons of Dread. I'm sure you can imagine it. And if you want to punish me for those crimes, I will go willingly."
"One day, I started seeing signs everywhere. Weird, unconnected images. If a woman was pregnant, I knew before she did. Sometimes I would see blood seeping out of cracks in the walls, but when I went to seek it out there would be nothing. For two years this happened. I thought I was going crazy. But then the dreams started... A lidless eye watching me. Always watching." He flips the coin over in his hand and on the side opposite the glowing skull is an eye. "And one day, this cursed coin was marked."
"The story itself is... perhaps unimpressive. You have all been called to defend and protect. And I'm sure you have callings that easily rival mine. But that was mine... One year ago, I was given a mission by the Sons that would require absolute secrecy for a great deal of time. Using that opportunity, I escaped and started following the visions Gargul gives me... Which leads me to why I was looking for you, the Gray Knights."
Plyf (AC:23; HP: 127/137) d20+7=8 ; Thursday June 4th, 2009 11:33:49 AM
Plyf folds her arms as he begins his likely well prepared speech on the rights and wrongs of the world, but as he claims responsibility for his acts, her defences are also lowered and she finds herself feeling a bit sorry for the old man. When he is finished she will remark, "I'm not the law in these parts and if anyone here wants to see you brought to justice, then I will agree, but instead, I curse you. I curse you o live until all the broken hearts you have caused are mended and all the wrongs you have done are made right two fold."
She leans up against the building of the tavern they were in and asks, "So, where is the rest of your "death squad"? Did you destroy them so that you could run away from your nefarious obligations or are they looking for you?"

The old dwarf softens somewhat in his stance towards the old man.
"I know what it means to be called by a god, and I can respect that, at least. I suggest we move out of the open, and discuss things further in private."
Dwight hp 144, ac 26 d20+6=9 ; d20+6=14 ; d20+15=24 ; Thursday June 4th, 2009 6:50:59 PM
Dwight, nods semi-understandingly as he has stood before a God before, a most uncomfortable position to be in given that Dwight had just awoken only to find himself dead.
"If we assume that to be true, to what end have you looked for and found us?" Dwight inquires impatiently hoping to get answers quicker than combatants return.
Sense motive (on plyf's question): 9 sense motive (on dwight's question): 14

Tratain waits and listens to what the man has to say. He wants to hear what the Man offers before asking any further questions.
