Der Meistersinger (DM John) Friday October 23rd, 2020 5:11:25 PM
Lanliss, relieved to not be eaten, does not immediately follow the man’s words. Velarin awaits for the man to enter and affirms Tishe’s suggestion to use selling the pelts as a cover story. Edson sighs in relief.
Tishe’ awaits a better spokesperson. Barratore and Emrys keep their own counsel.
Abelard continues to smile as the Keeper’s react to his presence. A brief gust whips his cloak open, revealing an emerald green waistcoat decorated with musical notes and symbols in gold and silver. Hanging from his belt on a loop is a small slender wand.

Tishe’ looks left and looks right. No one is taking the shuttle. With a sigh, the diminutive human woman stands and approaches. She knows she won’t be able to bluff a bard as apparently powerful as this one, so she’s going to have to tell only the truth, but in a way that only tells the surface story.
“Many Shadows, Meistersinger, we have some rare pelts we want to sell to a rich noble. We are looking for a castle to try out luck. Do you have any information to help us on our way?”
(Dan K) AC: 39 (T 30 FF 34), CMD:43; HP: 246/246 Barratore Steelwind Monday October 26th, 2020 12:00:21 AM
Barratore steps in behind Tishe and ducks down a bit, "Excuse me, we are also just getting ready to head out this morning, but would be happy to speak with you outside." He nods at Tishes words, "Yes and we have several pelts we are looking to find buyers for.."
Barratore turns as hie exitst the doorway, "The day is not getting younger, we can talk and walk." With that he exits the house and tries to engage the stranger to move with him, "Might you know of a place where we could make the most of our goods?"
Edson Kazil - Shawn R; AC: 31(T 21, FF 20), CMD: 24 HP: 128/128 INVISIBLE Monday October 26th, 2020 7:54:04 AM
Edson follows in line behind Barratore and moves outside. This man seemed like the first person equipped to deal with the evils of this plane, and that was a red flag.

Emrys listens and watches intently. He considers every possibility as he rubs his chin.

V Smiles at Barratore's clever move to head us out of town while speaking with the gentleman. V will follow along listening to the conversation as the group walks.
Der Meistersinger (DM John) Monday October 26th, 2020 3:51:49 PM
Tishe’ initiates the response to Abelard, “Many Shadows, Meistersinger, we have some rare pelts we want to sell to a rich noble. We are looking for a castle to try out luck. Do you have any information to help us on our way?”
Barratore Barratore steps in behind Tishe and ducks down a bit, "Excuse me, we are also just getting ready to head out this morning, but would be happy to speak with you outside." He nods at Tishes words, "Yes and we have several pelts we are looking to find buyers for.."
Barratore turns as hie exits the doorway, "The day is not getting younger, we can talk and walk." With that he exits the house and tries to engage the stranger to move with him, "Might you know of a place where we could make the most of our goods?"
Edson follows Barratore’s lead, joining him as he leaves the house. Emrys silently watches and listens, carefully considering what he observes. Velarin approves of Barratore’s gambit and joins in.
Lanliss, remains speechless.
“Pelts?,” Abelard asks, obviously confused. After a moment, a thought appears to occur to him and his already pale face, completely drains of any remaining color. “Oh, my,” he manages to gasp. Hearing based perception DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { ”Um, that explains it,”} he mutters to himself.
When Barratore steps through the doorway, the Meistersinger nearly stumbles off the deck and into the mud in an attempt to not impede the massive warrior.
Eyes wide with surprise and possibly even fear, he sputters, “Um, um, might I enquire as to where you obtained these pelts? Please don’t tell me you acquired them here for that is the demesne of the lord of this land and he would not be best pleased to know there are poachers in his forests.” He continues to pace Barratore, his stylish boots picking up more mud in the process. “Where exactly are you headed? Perhaps if you told me your business here beyond selling these, um, pelts, I could save you much time and effort by pointing you in the proper direction.”

Lanliss starts to get more calm as he wasn't eaten. Without any way to exchange thoughts , Lanliss decides to do it in a different way.
"That explains what? Exactly ?" , Lanliss asks. Not showing any feeling of remorse or any luck of consideration that he just heard something he shouldn't have.
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 18(FF 18), hp 157/157 Tuesday October 27th, 2020 5:43:06 AM
Not being quite sure what to tell the man, and what to hold back, V says nothing, and waits for Barratore and Tishe' to continue the discussion, as they seem to have it well in hand, and it seemed Barratore wanted to follow his instincts here.
V inwardly curses the inability to have mental group communication. They had come to use it frequently, and it was extremely handy.
Edson Kazil - Shawn R; AC: 31(T 21, FF 20), CMD: 24 HP: 128/128 INVISIBLE Tuesday October 27th, 2020 7:59:18 AM
Edson lets Barratore and Tishe continue with the charade, but a smile did appear on his face when the newcomer was taken back by Barratore. Edson took him for granted, but was reminded everyone once in a while how intimidating he was.
(Dan K) AC: 39 (T 30 FF 34), CMD:43; HP: 246/246 Barratore Steelwind d20+17=18 ; Tuesday October 27th, 2020 12:10:11 PM
Barratore makes sure he does not run over the man nor out pace him so that the conversation can continue. "You will need to be more specific as to what you consider 'here' I suppose. Though I can assure you we did not poach them." Barratore overheard teh comment as well, but Lanliss has already asked and the fighter pauses a bit in the walk to allow everyone to come together and hear the answer.
"We do not wish to anger the lord of course, might he have a more formal and appropriate title? Our destination is that way." Barratore points further down the road that then leads out of town and back into the forest. Beyond the pelts I suppose we are travelling to see new things and meet new people. Like you good sir"
"So what lies down the roads from Unity?"
AC 26/ T26/ F26 CMD24 (Fdom of Move) HP 164/164 Tishe’ (SteveK) d20+25=32 ; Tuesday October 27th, 2020 3:28:17 PM
Tishe’s face hardens, overhearing the Meistersinger’s muttering. “And since you already know where we got the pelts, I think you would prefer we were to be on our way peacefully rather than... dealing with the Lord of this demense.” And Tishe’ looks pointedly at Abelard.
She looks around to make sure others aren’t around to hear before she continues. “You are the lord, here, aren’t you Abelard? And as a bard, you are magically holding all these people to your spells of niceness in town and fear in the woods. Well, it’s not going to work for us. You can point us down the road or we really mess up your ‘demense’.”
Tishe’ readies a Counterspell to counter any spell Abelard tried to sing up. And
Talking in the rain (DM John) Tuesday October 27th, 2020 5:01:03 PM
Velarin refrains from outwardly talking and curses the inability to communicate telepathically. Edson enjoys Barratore’s intimidation of the Meistersinger. Emrys watches and follows along.
Lanliss overhears the Meistersinger’s muttering and asks, “That explains what, exactly?”
Abelard looks startled as if unaware he spoke aloud, then recovering, he answers, “Um, why you are in town, of course.”
Barratore presses, “ You will need to be more specific as to what you consider 'here' I suppose. Though I can assure you we did not poach them."
He perks up considerably at the news that the pelts were not poached and answers, “By here, I mean Unity, where else?”
Barratore continues, “We do not wish to anger the lord of course, might he have a more formal and appropriate title? “
Abelard nods thoughtfully, “My apologies, I assumed you knew. He is the Dark Lord.”
When Barratore points that they are going back into the forest, he pales again and warns, “If you value your lives, do not go into the forest. That is His hunting preserve and no one enters without his leave and lives.”
The minotaur continues, “Beyond the pelts I suppose we are travelling to see new things and meet new people. Like you good sir” A bit dismayed, he asks, “You mean to tell me you are here entirely on a sightseeing tour?”
"So what lies down the roads from Unity?"
“The forest,” he answers
Then Tishe’ confronts Abelard “And since you already know where we got the pelts, I think you would prefer we were to be on our way peacefully rather than... dealing with the Lord of this demense.”
Abelard’s reaction resembles that of a mouse suddenly aware that a hawk is perched on the branch overhead, unable to run away for fear it will be seen, yet terrified to remain in the open.
Moments pass before the Meistersinger recovers. He stops still in the rain, expecting the others to stop with him. Softly he speaks, barely audible over the steady beat of the downpour, “Please. Don’t. You would not prevail and much grief would come of it. Rather, stay here, enjoy, meet the good people of Unity, but avoid the forest. The full moon concert is tomorrow night at the town amphitheatre. Come, join us. It is a time of great celebration.” He looks at each Keeper before continuing, “If any of you have musical ability, we would love to have you perform for us. It is an open stage.” He turns to go, parting with, “Should you need me, my house is opposite the amphitheatre stage. Good day.”
Surprisingly nimbly for one of his girth, he departs quickly down the rain stroked street, no doubt anxious to separate himself from the others.
The Keepers find themselves at an intersection. As for the rest of town, all buildings are brightly colored, with one exception. At one corner stands a two story building entirely of stone, except for its heavily reinforced door. Its only windows are small, located near the roof, and barred. The single door is atop a set of four steps placing it a few feet above street level.
A soft chuckle can be heard through the rain. A handsome halfling is standing on a covered second story balcony next door to the stone building. He waves to the strangers, “Welcome to Unity, Leaguers. I am of the Sages Guild myself. Name is Manfrit. If you come around to the side door, I will let you in out of the rain.” He chuckles as he looks at Barratore. “Um. It will be a bit tight, I’m afraid.”
(Dan K) AC: 39 (T 30 FF 34), CMD:43; HP: 246/246 Barratore Steelwind Tuesday October 27th, 2020 9:51:49 PM
Barratore straightens as he does not like games as such that he thinks this man is playing. The forest indeed. As he squares his shoulders to throttle down on him, the man.
Barratore listens to what he says in response to Tishe and his mind tries to take it in even as his warrior spirit of name and clan rage for the challenge. He musters a simple reply, "We cannot abide to stay here good sir."
The man departs and Barratore watches after him. "I believe him Tishe, but a good call to dare the truth from someone. We stand on better gorund." Barratore swivels towards the halfling and the only plain building. Sages Guild....in over his head
Barratore wheels and strides towards the door "Most palces are" He opens and pushes through the door
AC 26/ T26/ F26 CMD24 (Fdom of Move) HP 164/164 Tishe’ (SteveK) Wednesday October 28th, 2020 3:55:54 AM
Tishe’ shakes her head as if to clear it. “I don’t trust Unity, it is too... nice for a place like this. A trap for the unwary. And anyone who claims any power here must be a minion or the Dark Lord himself. I wasn’t dating truth, Sieur Barratorre, I was calling his bluff.”
The Halfling calls out. “Like this one. I don’t trust him, and think we should try our luck in the for-...”. Tishe’ doesn’t finish her sentence, for Barratorre has already made a commitment. Still wary of anything welcoming from this place, Tishe’ follows the minotaur.

V watches the exchanges and the departure of the Meistersinger, before being surprisingly engaged by the halfling. As he watches Barratore enter the mans residence, V moves to follow.
"I am in agreement with Barratore regarding the halfling Tishe'. This could prove interesting or informative, or both. I do agree that once this conversation is over, we need to get far from here as quickly as possible. Perhaps Emrys' windwalk spell might be our best answer. Assuming it works here."

Edson nods his head to Tishe. "You're right. It feels funny here. It feels too good, as if theyre compensating for something. Too idylic and lovely, when a short jaunt into the woods and you're dieing three times in a short span of time. We need to leave hear, and get far away... but maybe we should stay till tommorow? see if this gathering maybe tips us off to the lord of the lands. Maybe luck out and meet up with him. "
Emrys Myrridanmyl, Stephen F. ac17 hp125/125. rituals: Warding, Spiritual Healing, Charming, Contingency: BoL. Bless, True Seeing Wednesday October 28th, 2020 2:40:12 PM
"Agreed," he answers Velarin. "I can give the spell a try now, if you'd like. The magic should remain active for more than 20 hours if I put a little blood into it."
Manfrit (DM John) Wednesday October 28th, 2020 6:09:13 PM Barratore tells Abelard they cannot abide to stay here. At Manfrit’s call, he goes right in.
Tishe’ doesn’t trust Unity, says so, and include the halfling in her judgement...but follows Barratore when he commits to go see him. Velarin thinks the halfing could prove helpful, or at least interesting. He is, however, ready to leave and suggest windwalking. Edson agrees with Tishe’ and is ready to depart. Emrys offers to try the windwalk now, knowing it can last a long time. Lanliss follows the others into Manfrit’s place.
Manfrit’s place is the upper floor of the building adjacent to the stone structure and is reached by exterior wooden stairs. Eight visitors stretch the main room’s capacity, with one being large, it is quite “cozy” indeed. The halfling seems unaware, or perhaps unconcerned, of the tight quarters and is busily warming up what appears to be a very large pot of tea. The furnishings are sized for their inhabitant and are simple and functional. On the wall opposite a small shrine to Gargul sets on a shelf mounted to the wall, the smoke of several sticks of incense curl up to the ceiling, filling the room with a spicy aroma. The host is dressed simply in a tunic, vest, and leggings, all of gray and made of wool.
“Never mind the water,” he says as the group crowds in. “The rain should end tonight and I can open some windows to dry things out.”
As he moves about, trying to make places for each to sit, a silver amulet in the shape of the gray lidless eye bounces on a chain around his neck. The only other adornment he wears is a badge pinned to his chest in the shape of three silver interlocking rings. Fussing with the tea, he asks, “First off, what year is it in the Wold? I think I have been here about a year, but often time doesn’t move at the same pace in different planes.”

Barratore finds somewhere to sit and not be too uncomfortable and simply looks at the halfling for a bit. "Sages Guild huh. Just saved another couple of your friends a few days ago." Barratore sees no issue with the question and answers him with the year of the Wold
"So what brought you here and was here your actual intention" Barratore knows Manfrit already knows teh WLA badge he not only wears but has prominently displayed on his animated shield and decides that is the 'true' story he will go with.
"We are with the Woldian League and are frankly a bit lost. Can you help us with a bit of geography on where here is in relation to elsewhere?"

V takes the best look he can at the silver amulet and the badge(perception 46) from where he sits, and tries to figure out if each is magical in nature as well as what it's power is, and also the significance or meaning if they are symbolic. (knowledge arcane 43, religion 38, history 35, planes 45.

Edson squeezes through the crowded room. He keeps his mouth shut, but looks around making sure this is not some elaborate trap to end the keepers. Once sure there is nothing to hurt them, he finally speaks up.... " so,.. whats the skinny on this town.

Tishe’, when younger, had a mercurial attention span, but she was able to (mostly) compensate as she became more experienced and mature. This place, however... The Sorceress is visibly flip-flopping between fear, suspicion, and her natural belief that people are generally good.
Her suspicions melt away as she spots the Gargul emblem around his neck. “Anyone who would wear that in... here... is not on that person’s side.” She turns to Manfrit, “what is the last you know?”, she counters, but then will tell him the significant events that she knows of all the way back to her childhood and the Year of Ascension, the Rise of Eberyon, the Migration of the Southern Continent, the Sarr Rebirth, and the fall of the Gods of Testing. Tishe’ is counting on her companions to get the answers they seek in an even exchange of information from this Gargul-aligned person of the Sages Guild.
Manfrit (DM John) Thursday October 29th, 2020 4:50:00 PM
Lanliss listens for the moment. Barratore makes himself reasonably comfortable. He tells of the other guild members they rescued and gives him the date. He asks, "So what brought you here and was here your actual intention" then asks explains, "We are with the Woldian League and are frankly a bit lost. Can you help us with a bit of geography on where here is in relation to elsewhere?"
Velarin recognizes the amulet to be a holy symbol of Gargul and the badge to be that of an Associate level member in the Sages Guild. He listens to Manfrit’s response. Edson looks around the room carefully and finds nothing out of the ordinary or anything that appears to pose a potential threat. He asks " so,.. whats the skinny on this town. A peaceful little hamlet out of the storybooks, all in the middle of an infernal demon filled pocket dimension. Doesn't seem like it fits the surroundings. "
Tishe’ is comforted by the indications that they are with a devotee of Gargul and helps with the estimation of how long Manfrit has been out of the Wold.
Emrys waits for the call to leave.
It appears that Manfrit has been here about 5 years by Woldian reckoning though he feels only a year has passed. He is quite interested in news of the Wold, but eventually the Keepers turn the conversation to more immediate concerns.
Barratore asks "So what brought you here and was here your actual intention?" The halfling sets back on his stool and sighs as he reflects upon what is obviously a painful memory, before answering, “I accompanied a friend and fellow guild member here on a quest to learn more of this place. Grendus was slain by wolves. I assume you encountered the Lonely Road with its questions of my greatest need? Well, mine, being lost and alone, was sanctuary. That is how I ended up here.”
Barratore then asks about the geography. Manfrit answers, “This place is called Unity. I assume you know that already. This town and the surrounding forest are ruled by a man named Malghard. North of here is a place called Hallowight, purported to be inhabited by undead.” He pauses to look at the shrine before continuing, “It is of specific interest to me, but I fear I am not capable of safely going there alone as to leave this place and go to another requires another trip through the mist.” He visibly shudders at the memory.
He turns to face Edson when the elf asks about Unity’s appearance. “Dear sir, these good people are survivors. They live in a harsh land with constant danger. To venture into the neighboring woods is too dangerous to even consider. To go out most nights is to invite predators to your doorstep. We sing, we eat, we paint, we make joy when we can, for death can be a moment away. “
He leans in, lowering his voice to a bare whisper, “This land is overrun with werewolves. One does not tread lightly when the predator lives among you.
He then stands up and takes the few steps required to reach the stove. He lifts the pot and cheerfully asks, “Now who would like some tea?”
(Dan K) AC: 39 (T 30 FF 34), CMD:43; HP: 246/246 Barratore Steelwind Thursday October 29th, 2020 9:32:30 PM
Barratore listens to Manfrit and nods, he was suspecting something along those lines as soon as the bard said 'in, Unity.' "Werewolves fits the motif, but I am confused at why any would participate in a great outdoor concert under the stars and moon then. Like taking the kids to the Drop Off. I assume there will be chips." Barratore sits back a bit, he did not like tea but it felt he should excpet, maybe simply hold the cup until it was time to leave...
"Yes, Manfrit, thank you." turning a bit to the others, "We might need, pardon the expression, to go back into the mists with a more unified response."
Barratore hopes the others pick up on what he is implying as he knows they cannot say more if front on anyone.
"Manfrit, If we attend tonight, and it goies as I suspect, would it bring greater harm to the people of Unity long term. Will revenge be taken upon them?"
Lanliss Drakeguard Michael A; AC: 36 (T 19, FF 18), CMD:31 HP:127/220 Thursday October 29th, 2020 10:24:31 PM
Lanliss doesn't seem to understand what Barratore is trying to imply.
"Werewolves? ", He says softly as he thinks about the implications. "If we attend....we don't have to do we ?", he says after thinking.
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 18(FF 18), hp 157/157 Friday October 30th, 2020 6:42:09 AM
V listens carefully as the halfling speaks, and then responds as the others do, with more questions.
"I believe the Meistersinger said that tonight was the full moon. As Barratore said, shouldn't it be a night to lock and bar the doors and windows?"
"Also, Do you know if it's possible to travel between realms, above the mist? to fly over it? and lastly, what in Hallowight is of interest to you? surely the undead would be just as dangerous as the wolves?"
V also does not quite get what Barratore is trying to imply, but does not like the feel of this one bit. They should probably leave quickly. Picking fights with the areas monsters, or Lords of the land, would not help this stealth mission in the least.

Tishe' listens carefully to Manfrit, and the discussion of the Keepers. She assumes Barratorre's comment is something from minotaur culture, (the Sarr knows the others have twitted her about her own Southern Continent accent!), and chooses to ignore words like Dropoff and Chips.
Manfrit's own story makes the matronly woman remember her own answer to the Lonely Road. "I told the road I just wanted to help people. The people may be here in Unity for sanctuary, but doesn't that mean they need help even more? I want to get our mission done, but I want to be who I am as well. These people are victims of Koshe Marr, and need defending. I say we go to the concert and be ready to kill werewolves."

"Werewolves... of course it has to be werewolves. " Edson asks, as he poiltly declines any tea. He still wasn't sure about this whole situation, and drinking some tea wasn't his way of changing it.
" So... any townsfolk have a hankering for flesh? or just in the woods?"
Emrys Myrridanmyl, Stephen F. ac17 hp125/125. rituals: Warding, Spiritual Healing, Charming, Contingency: BoL. Bless, True Seeing Friday October 30th, 2020 4:50:42 PM
Emrys listens intently to the halflings answers ... particularly about the flying over the mist ... as mist. He thinks Wind Walk would be the perfect disguise and mode of travel ... they would be completely invisible to everything within the mists. "Or we can attempt to Shadow Walk ... we haven't done that in a while," he says in a hushed tone.
Manfrit (DM John) Saturday October 31st, 2020 11:29:10 AM
To clarify: This conversation with Manfrit occurs right after the conversation with the Meistersinger. The full moon festival Abelard invited the Keepers to is tomorrow night.
Barratore is not surprised to hear of werewolves. He asks if an outdoor concert is advised.
“Surprisingly,” responds the halfling, “It is the safest time to be out at night. I have not spoken to anyone who recalls anyone being attacked during the festival.”
Lanliss worries about werewolves and attending the full moon festival.
Velarin comments that the Meistersing said that tonight is the full moon and suggests staying inside seems more prudent and asks other questions.
Tishe’ shares her own answer to the Lonely Road and wonders if protecting the people of Unity from werewolves is why she was sent here.
Edson responds, “"Werewolves... of course it has to be werewolves.”
Emrys listens and ponders traveling by air or shadow.
Manfrit seems to enjoy the reaction to his revelation about the werewolves. As each asks there questions, the halfling attempts to answer.
Barratore: "Manfrit, If we attend [tomorrow] tonight, and it goes as I suspect, would it bring greater harm to the people of Unity long term. Will revenge be taken upon them?" The halfling pauses a moment to think about this before answering, “It should not be a problem. The festival has always been safe in the past. This is actually the one night when it is safe to be out.”
Lanliss: "If we attend....we don't have to do we ?" “You are visitors here with no obligations, but why would you miss the opportunity to see something new?” Of course, you are speaking to a member of the Sages Guild.
Valerin: "I believe the Meistersinger said that tonight was the full moon. As Barratore said, shouldn't it be a night to lock and bar the doors and windows?" Manfrit nods, then answers, “Here in Prohovia, every night is a full moon, sir.”
He then goes on to explain that though each night has a full moon, only one in thirty are red and that one is due tomorrow night. On each red moon there is a festival in Unity filled with singing and feasting.
Valerin: "Also, Do you know if it's possible to travel between realms, above the mist? to fly over it? " “As far as I know the mists are unavoidable. To move from realm to realm one must pass through them” Again he shudders at the thought.
Valerin: what in Hallowight is of interest to you? surely the undead would be just as dangerous as the wolves?“As a devotee of Gargul,” he pauses to look at the shrine on the wall, “I wish to see how such an abomination for myself. However, I am well aware of the danger which is why I remain here.”
Tishe’: I told the road I just wanted to help people. The people may be here in Unity for sanctuary, but doesn't that mean they need help even more? I want to get our mission done, but I want to be who I am as well. These people are victims of Koshe Marr, and need defending. I say we go to the concert and be ready to kill werewolves." Manfrit is shocked by the gentle appearing woman’s words, then he starts shaking his head slowly. “The werewolves rule. I fear even a group as formidable as you would not prevail, not to mention the collateral damage.”
Edson: " So... any townsfolk have a hankering for flesh? or just in the woods?" “The wolf folk typically leave Unity alone and don’t reside here.”
After a moment he tilts his head, then turns back to look at Tishe’. “Mission?” he asks, suddenly very intent. “What mission?”
Lanliss Drakeguard Michael A; AC: 36 (T 19, FF 18), CMD:31 HP:127/220 Sunday November 1st, 2020 6:01:59 PM
Lanliss keeps his mouth shouth.
'Why did she mention this ?', Lanliss ponders about what appears to be Tishe' mistake of mentioning their mission
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 18(FF 18), hp 157/157 Monday November 2nd, 2020 5:56:04 AM
V inwardly slaps his head as the Halfling caught Tishe's slip of the tongue. The wizard tries to quickly think of a way to explain it away, but being that diplomacy, sidestepping questions, and a quick tongue were relatively foreign to him.
Fortunately Lanliss was able to put the matter in question, leaving the best option at this point to exit.
V makes to stand and start heading for the door. "Well, we really should be going now. We have used up far too much of Manfrit's time and hospitality."
(Dan K) AC: 39 (T 30 FF 34), CMD:43; HP: 246/246 Barratore Steelwind Monday November 2nd, 2020 8:42:44 AM
Barratore leans back, "Every night is a full moon but some are red and on those nights, Unity has a festival where everyone is safe." Barratore inhales and tries to think, but the Mission is brought up, Manfrit asks and V gets all wierd. Barratore had no answer on that, but Manfrit had offered a few other things as well, like collateral damage if the group went werewolf hunting. It was that sort of thing he was concerned with.
V stands and Barratore tilts his head in a bit of confusion. Other than going into the mist, the group had nowhere to go. Barratore falls in line though, setting the undrank tea down, "Thank you, good tea."

Tishe’ curses her intemperate tongue, and no one with a more glib personality is stepping up... So the sorceress tries to cover herself. “We’re trying to recover a companion who was lost to Koshe Marr and looking for the realm where he died”, she lies, hopefully convincingly. “If you can’t help, we do need to be moving through the mists to find the right realm.”
Lanliss reacts to Tishe’s disclosure, but keeps to himself. Velarin does a mental face palm. He attempts to exit. Barratore considers the implications of attacking werewolves and is surprised that Velarin is trying to exit, but follows his lead. Tishe’ attempts to cover her slip with a lie. “We’re trying to recover a companion who was lost to Koshe Marr and looking for the realm where he died”, she lies, hopefully convincingly. “If you can’t help, we do need to be moving through the mists to find the right realm.”
Emrys and Edson watch and listen.
“Hmmm,” replies Manfrit to Tishe’s explanation. “Perhaps I can help you recover him or her if I knew more about the circumstances of his disappearance. How long ago did he disappear? Do you know which realm he went to?” He pauses a moment then suggest, “You might want to ask Lord Malghard. He’s actually a pleasant fellow.”
His body language clearly shows he would rather his visitors not leave, but he makes no move to stop them.

" Lord Malghard. Where is he located again?" he asks, trying to buy everyone some time to, and settle the situation.

Emrys' throat just became very dry. He takes a sip of a drink. He then realizes and thinks to himself, ... 'wait a minute, was that my drink' ... 'whose drink did I just sip?'
Emrys can't help but feel a sense of dread ... not from the strange taste he just experienced ... something more sinister in the air.

V is ready to head to the door as tishe' recovers the situation.
The Wizard sits back down to allow Tishe' to finish what she started. "My apologies for my apparent haste. As I'm sure you can understand, I am more than ready to finish what we need to do, and get out of Koshe Marr.
V thinks to himself that he needs to start working on his diplomatic abilities, as they were severely lacking. Fortunately, some of his friends did not have that hindrance.

Barratore, now standing in a hunch, looks about at the group. Imod help us, we look like noobs.
"Look, Manfrit." a bit more forceful than he intended.
Softening his tone a little, Barratore takes a knee "It's complicated and we dont know you and this is Koshe Marr. It's about as awful and deceiving of a place as you can get, so we're a bit edgy and when I get edgy, I get stabby. You seem a pleasant enough fellow, wearing the right stuff and all, but that is point and so we are going to keep our business close to vest. Our boy does not seem to be here and so we have to chat amongst ourselves as whether or not we show tonight or simply get moving. As far as realms go, we don't even know what realms there are or how they relate to each other.

Tishe’ nods vehemently to what Barratorre says, and gives a quick smile of thanks to Edison’s diversion. Both are no more than the truth. “I want to help others, and you have said helping here may be more harmful in the long run. That makes sense, Sieur Manfrit, but so does Sieur Barratorre. We can’t trust anything in the nightmare realm, and so asking more questions can only make it more dangerous for us... and for you. We know we won’t find what we are looking for here, so if you point us to a fog road that leads to a castle, we can be on our way.”
Manfrit (DM John) Tuesday November 3rd, 2020 5:35:40 PM
Edson attempts to change the subject with, “Lord Malghard. Where is he located again?” Lanliss watches Manfrit, hoping to gain enough information. Emrys nervously takes a sip and feels a sudden sense of dread. Velarin returns to his chair and explains “ My apologies for my apparent haste. As I'm sure you can understand, I am more than ready to finish what we need to do, and get out of Koshe Marr.
Barratore gets direct with Manfrit, “"It's complicated and we dont know you and this is Koshe Marr. It's about as awful and deceiving of a place as you can get, so we're a bit edgy and when I get edgy, I get stabby. You seem a pleasant enough fellow, wearing the right stuff and all, but that is point and so we are going to keep our business close to vest.

Tishe’ thankful to have recovered from her slip of the tongue, follows up “I want to help others, and you have said helping here may be more harmful in the long run. That makes sense, Sieur Manfrit, but so does Sieur Barratorre. We can’t trust anything in the nightmare realm, and so asking more questions can only make it more dangerous for us... and for you. We know we won’t find what we are looking for here, so if you point us to a fog road that leads to a castle, we can be on our way.”
Manfrit listens intently as Barratore and Tishe’ make their plea. He thinks awhile, using the refilling of the teapot as an excuse to do so. He then goes to a small desk and returns with some paper and a pen and sketches a crude map for Barratore. It reveals that he has little knowledge outside of Unity. There are three roads leading from Unity. One is from the gate that the Keepers entered on. One leads north through the mists to the realm of the undead and the third leads into the woods to Malghard’s lodge. As he sketches he explains, “I’m told that Malghard lives in a lodge. Although I have not seen it, what I have heard would indicate that it is not a castle. And I have heard nothing of a castle in Koshe Marr. I only know of the road to the undead realm. By all accounts it is no place for the living. If your friend went that way, then, I am sorry to say, he is probably lost forever.”

Edson listens intently to Manfrit's description and map. Barratore had a way with words, and here it was on display. The minotaur was blunt, but it worked.
AC 26/ T26/ F26 CMD24 (Fdom of Move) HP 164/164 Tishe’ (SteveK) Wednesday November 4th, 2020 3:51:30 AM
Tishe’ thanks Malafrit and looks at the map before looking at her companions. “I don’t want to stay here for the concert; it feels wrong. And our friend never went to a lodge, I suppose we have to go to the castle of undead next.” She looks to Velarin for confirmation on what the Keepers are going to do, and will agree to whatever his decision.
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 18(FF 18), hp 157/157 Wednesday November 4th, 2020 5:58:15 AM
"Agreed Tishe'. As much as I hate dealing with the undead, that is clearly our path. This Malghard sounds an awful lot like what we heard of the Huntsman before we came. As much as I would like to stay a day and swap spells for a more anti-undead repetoire, I personally think it best that we be on our way, and the quicker the better.

Barratore thanks Manfrit and departs with the group. Once alone, he agrees with V and Tishe.
"Castle sounds like our best next move...unfortunately. Frankly I do not think it will be THE castle we are looking for, Wardd does not like us that much. Any ideas how we get any useful information? I really don't feel we are any closer to anything than when we were first presented with nothing to go on. The mists will be all about our greatest need again right?
What if we all put forth that our greatest need is the see the castle of Marteus? Mist takes us there, we shoot in, swipe the gemstone engine thingy while our allies do the big distraction thing and get out?"
Lanliss quietly takes note of the map as Manfrit draws it. Edson is pleased with Barratore’s success. Tishe’ thanks Manfrit and suggests moving to the undead realm, while deferring to Velarin. Velarin agrees that the best course is to proceed there and without delay. Barratore waits until they leave Manfrit before commenting. He does not think that the castle they are looking for is in the undead realm. He then suggests returning to the mists and stating that their greatest need is seeing the castle of Marteus. Emrys follows along.
The halfling seems genuinely concerned for their safety, but does not try to dissuade them his final words being, “If you make it out and your path brings you back to Unity, please be sure to stop by.” He watches the Keepers from the open doorway as they return to the rain and mud, oblivious to the spatter of rain into his own entry way.
Back to Heimrich’s? To the road? Somewhere else?
Regardless of which direction the Keeper’s go, each notices a young man attempting to hide in the doorway of the green painted house on the corner across from the intersection leading to Manfrit’s and opposite of the stone building.

Lanliss tries to take every detail in....did they seem strange to him. Any detail could help. "We have company", He whispers to the group. "And they are not successful at hiding.", he adds quietly.

That sense of dread continues to plague him. The dry mouth is now accompanied by a faint scent of decay. He curses himself for not recognizing the taste of necromancy. Even his ring of undead control feels cold and tightly coiled around his finger. His need, as stated to the mist, was to discover the truth of his supernatural birth. Was this path to undeath leading him that conclusion?
"We could Wind Walk to our destination, but traveling as creatures of mist through the fog will make us virtually invisible to each other. We could easily become separated. We could Shadow Walk, while our path would be swift and hidden, this realm would be difficult to discern from behind the shadow's veil. We could easily overshoot our mark."

Edson chuckles to hiimself. When other people tried to do what he and Lanliss can do, and fail... it always makes him laugh.
"Young man, door of the green house watching us."
Waiting for a decision of where to go, Edson hops from foot to foot.

V talks as the group moves down the road toward the mists leading to the undead realm.
"Worth a shot Barratore. If it asks us our greatest need, the answer is to go to the castle of Marteus."
"Hope your fancy undead controlling ring is up to the task Emrys. looks like we are going it on foot. At least for now. The mists complicate the other options too much, and for all we know, they are some sort of dimensional movement. Nothing is for sure in this realm."
"I doubt Marteus's place is in the undead realm, so I think our best bet is to move through the undead realm as fast as possible once we get through the mists. The master of the realm is probably some hefty and nasty undead creature. Possibly a Liche or Vampire.
(Dan K) AC: 39 (T 30 FF 34), CMD:43; HP: 246/246 Barratore Steelwind Thursday November 5th, 2020 10:47:16 AM
Barratore is not up for Wind Walk, "Too long to get back to normal and we are not invulnerable in Mist form" Shadow Walk is a no go for the fighter as well The Realm of Shadow in Koshe Marr is not something he is eager to experience
"To Manfrit, If we can, I think we should try and get back here and help him get home. Lets, take the road towards the Castle and if we are asked we answer, if not we'll see what the castle has in store"
"Just a moment friends."
Barratore looks over at the young man and pivots to walk over to him. Dropping down to sit on his haunches, the minotaur takes in the boy. "And what curiosity do you have that I can solve young man?"

Tishe’ is tired of being watched, but is not... quite... ready to assault someone over it. “To the Mists to the Castle. Let’s go.”
And she sets off.
In the streets of Unity (DM John) Thursday November 5th, 2020 5:03:42 PM
Lanliss quietly informs the others they are being watched. Emrys continues to be plagued by a sense of dread. Perhaps his destiny lies in the realm of the undead? He offers wind walking or shadow walking as travel options. Edson is amused by the poor shadowing attempt and also informs the others of their observer. Velarin affirms the suggestion to confront the Road again and discusses the intricacies of this plane. He expresses doubt that the undead realm will be their final destination. Tishe’ is ready to move on and heads away from their watcher. Barratore, however, takes the direct approach and asks the boy “ "And what curiosity do you have that I can solve young man?"
As Barratore approaches, the young man’s eyes widen greatly and what little color he had in his already pale complexion completely flees his face. When Barratore speaks, the boy’s lips move, but no words come out. After a few seconds of failing to summon words, his eyes well up with tears, and the boy suddenly turns and runs away, his feet wildly splashing mud as he flees down the street.

Back into gray (DM John) Saturday November 7th, 2020 12:20:32 PM
Lanliss runs to stop the fleeing boy. Emrys says the boy acts as if he saw a ghost. Velarin proposes leaving for the mist immediately, and reminds Emrys of the efficacy of his antilife spell last time they were in the mists. Barratore stops Lanliss from his pursuit and requests protection spells. Tishe’ has no spells to add other than what are already active. Edson is amused by the reaction of their tail.
Resolute and guided by Manfrit’s sketched map, the Keepers ignore their not-so-discrete observer, and head toward the northern road intent on reaching the undead realm and experiencing the mists once again. The steady rains continue, turning the hard packed dirt of the streets to a soggy slog. The citizens of Unity stay mostly indoors, but an occasional rain drenched soul is seen quickly moving about, obviously on some necessary errand. As always, the residents keep out of the Keepers way, smiling and waving as they pass.
Once the travelers make it to the northern edge of town, they see it is surrounded by open ground just as the southern edge was. The forest edge is about a mile away. As they travel further away from town, the rain subsides, diminishing entirely by the time the Keepers have made it to the forest’s edge. The clouds, however, remain, enshrouding the countryside in depressing gloom.
About one hundred yards into the woods, a near solid wall of fog obscures the road ahead, stretching into the woods on either side. The Keepers, connected by hand and rope as before, once again enter the gray void.
Completely immersed in fog, there is no doubt that they are once again in the engulfing vapors that divide this realm. It is so thick that no one can see their hands at the ends of their arms. The road feels like packed earth, but neither eyes nor ears can confirm this. The fog is so heavy and thick, that beyond obstructing sight, it dampens sound as well. Once again the Keepers are in the cold clammy grip of this murky fog. It seeps into clothes and the very pores of the skin.
Before too long, the awaited voices return. Each Keeper is greeted with a cacophony of snickers and mirthless laughter. Then, silence. Silence made even more tangible by the dampening impact of the all encompassing fog.
Subjectively infinite moments pass before a single voice asks in a raspy whisper, “What is your greatest need?”

Bumps arise on Velarins arms as they approach the fog, and a minor feeling of dread fills him. "I hate this place" he mumbles to himself. "Retirement is starting to sound like a good idea".
V follows the others, as before, ignoring the voices as best as possible until hearing the voice that asks them their greatest need. V responds "My greatest need is to go to the castle of Marteus."

Barratore takes a deep breath and exhales for as long as he can to keep from having to breath in the mists for as long as possible. The others were counting on his strength here and Metascar' wisdom of battle and stories of glory were of no use to him now. It unnerved him greatly, that the fog, the silence and that unnerved him even more. Barratore draws his sword and grips it tightly and out in front of himself as his pace slows to ensure the others are keeping up.
The voices return as does the question and the minotaur issues a silent prayer to Imod that he suggestion is not the Keepers death sentence. Then utters aloud, "My greatest need is to find the castle of Marteus"
