Teko Wednesday January 10th, 2001 10:29:58 PM
"I'm interested myself as to what's on that paper", Teko says, and he looks on as Nonam examines it.
DM Kent Thursday January 11th, 2001 8:20:38 AM
The piece of envelope hasn't changed it still only has a part of what is probably a towns name on it.
Lorna looks a bit uneasy at the mention of a spell being placed on her but warily nods her head.
Lyric looks at Jus, nods, and as he gets ready to leave turns and asks with a slight grin, "Just how secure do you want them?"
The Three have now arrived at the Mayor's party headquarters and are at the door. There is noone visible around and no sound out side of normal night noises can be heard.
Nonam Thursday January 11th, 2001 9:41:59 AM
Nonam glances at the paper and passes it to Teko. "I assume we should take a journey to Brinkwater. Other than that, who can say?" After the long walk across the street, Nonam pauses in front of the High Lord Mayor's, "Why aren't there any guards at the door?"
Gareth Thursday January 11th, 2001 3:30:30 PM
The warrior looks around warily. "My, my. I'm really hoping this is not a bad sign. Of course, it might be merely the way things are for parties. We really didn't see all the nobles arrive when we came to see the mayor upon our arrival back from Menzo either.". He knocks on the door, pauses, and opens it if nobody answers. He stands ready to draw his sword, but refrains fearing his actions might not be looked upon kindly if they are being watched by the guards.
Jus (7 Stoneskins) Thursday January 11th, 2001 3:50:51 PM
"I've got a bad feeling about this...", Jus says, like he's quoting something. "Does anyone else smell a setup? If Lyric was around, I'd send him off to find some priests. If nothing else, it wouldn't hurt to have them so we can prove we're telling the truth. Then again, if the drow can replace us, who knows who else has been doppleganged."
Jus gives Lorna's hand a reassuring sqeeze, knowning these comments probably isn't helping her any.
"Nonam, I don't suppose you have Whispering Wind memorized? What about you, Teko and Tericus? Do you have a way to quickly contact one of the chapels?"
Teko Thursday January 11th, 2001 10:02:47 PM
"Sorry, I don't have anything of the kind," Teko says. He looks around briefly and continues, "At least we made it this far."
Tericus Friday January 12th, 2001 1:19:54 AM
"Sorry Jus, no I dont." Tericus says to Jus. "About the best I can do is detect magic right now."
Onrad Friday January 12th, 2001 12:31:39 PM
Onrad looks at Lorna and says, "Hey, she looks like a stone giant in miniature. No offense, but very funny."
Onrad gets very serious when no one is around the Mayor's Castle. It's closed up for the night. Cause during the day, the central area is open to the outside. They use magic to keep the elements inside and out.
He looses the peace bonds on his swords and prepares to split his pants.
Nonam Monday January 15th, 2001 10:02:34 AM
"Sorry, Jus. I only know spells that blow things up."
Onrad Tuesday January 16th, 2001 12:27:16 PM
When no one comes to the door, Onrad knocks again. LOUDLY!
Lets Party(dm sam) Wednesday January 17th, 2001 7:51:36 PM
while everyone stands around a few feet from the door, Onrad finally gets fustrated and bangs on the door loudly. after what seems like an eternity(really about 2 minuets) a man answers the door. "May I help you?" he asks
Tericus Wednesday January 17th, 2001 7:52:45 PM
when he sees the door open, Tericus walks next to Onrad and says. "I think we are expected, arnt we Onrad?"
Teko Wednesday January 17th, 2001 10:39:50 PM
While they wait, Teko stays alert for any surprises, glancing periodically in all directions.
Onrad Wednesday January 17th, 2001 11:57:05 PM
"We're here for the party. We are The Three!"
Onrad looks for a sign of recognition in the guards face. He also looks past the guard for a sign of the party.
Nonam Thursday January 18th, 2001 7:25:51 AM
Nonam stands regally and waits to be taken to the party.
Gareth Thursday January 18th, 2001 11:53:00 AM
The warrior looks at the person answering the door carefully and then looks past him seeing what may lie beyond which looks unusual.
Onrad Thursday January 18th, 2001 1:19:07 PM
He turns to Gareth. "I think this guy is deaf."
"HEY! WE'RE HERE FOR THE PARTY! WE'RE THE THREE!"
There, that should help.
Jus (7 Stoneskins) Thursday January 18th, 2001 5:29:22 PM
Despite the foreboding that a fight is imminent, Jus can't help but smile as Onrad's character shows through. Jus leans over to Lorna and whispers -- a little loudly -- , "Never mind Onrad; he's still a kid. He just looks old for his age."
Hoping a fight doesn't break out, but ready to protect Lorna if one does, Jus begins to think about finding a safe house for the people that have helped The Three. "Becoming Dragons is too much responsibility and too little fun," Jus ponders to himself.
Party? Whose Party(dm sam) Friday January 19th, 2001 9:32:29 AM
the well dressed man(not dressed like a guard) seems polite enough until Onrad declares who you all are. "Ah yes, The Three." he says with an obvious sneer. "You are expected." and he holds open the door for everyone to enter.
Tericus Friday January 19th, 2001 9:33:10 AM
not liking the man's attitude, Tericus none the less enters the door
Nonam Friday January 19th, 2001 10:40:43 AM
Nonam steps backward and takes a look up at the building to make certain that it's the right one before he follows everyone in. As he walks through he slips his hand into his pocket so that he can pull out his wand if necessary.
Gareth d20=15 Friday January 19th, 2001 12:21:48 PM
The warrior moves into the building with a smile for the doorman. "Sorry for our 'loud' announcement, we have had a very trying afternoon and are under a bit of stress. I thank you for letting us in." (CHA by 3).
Jus (7 Stoneskins) Friday January 19th, 2001 4:19:58 PM
Jus escorts Lorna inside, conversing politely while also looking around the room they enter. Loud enough for everyone to hear, Jus prods Gareth, "Tired? You must be getting out of shape; you'd better get with Onrad and learn some excersises before it's too late."
In a little more serious tone, but still to everyone, Jus continues, "But I can make a safe bet that those losers posing as us today will feel a lot worse once we catch them."
Onrad Friday January 19th, 2001 4:40:43 PM
Onrad skips in looking to be the first to spot the beautiful unattached ladies!
He turns to Gareth and says, "Workout hour before dawn. We'll get you back into shape friend. No flabby bellies in The Three!"
Turning on his most winning smile and his experience at such functions, he begins mingling and flirting.
DM Kent Monday January 22nd, 2001 8:46:03 AM
as the three make there way inside, the doorman all but ignores them as he makes his way towards the ballrooms large, closed, double, doors. As Gareth makes his semi apology, the door man merely nods and then just under his breath says, "Nothing more than I expected, from a bunch of boors."
As he gets to the doors he stands aside to let you all prepare to enter and without so much as a "are you ready," opens the doors. After a few seconds, almost as if it is an after thought, he steps forward and announces, The Adventures and Heroes of the City, The Three.
It is hard to say but his announcement almost seems to be mocking you.
As your introduction is made there is a moment of absolute silence in the hall and then many hushed side conversations immediately start up. At the far end of the hall you see Sturdevant holding court, as it were. As you see him he looks up and beckons you to come to him.
As you approach some snatches of the conversations you overhear are:
"I hear they are responsible for the drow coming among us."
"Did you hear about the inn they trashed because they weren't given credit?"
"I heard they went on a three day binge and tore up five inns and a brothel in the quarter."
"No I can't believe any of that, I have dealt with them before and they have always comporte themselves with the utmost nobility."
"Hey, they don't look like ogres."
"Yeah? Well looks can be deciving, I heard....."
As you finally reach Sturdevant, The smile that came so easily the last time you met, appears to be very strained and all but pasted in to place. He faces you all as you arrive and you notice something that you haven't seen before. The Mayor is wearing a sword.
Nonam d20=9 Monday January 22nd, 2001 9:36:59 AM
Nonam recognizes this form of mistrust though he hasn't faced it in a long time. In the past he would simply have left town to move on, but now he has too much invested in this life and these... friends. Recognizing that this is a time for diplomacy, he lets go of his wand and slowly removes his hand from his robe pocket. Then he silently walks toward Sturtevent with his head held high. When reaching the platform, he bows low. When he rises, he clasps his hands together down by his waist in an attempt to look as peaceful as possible. (Ch by 10)
Gareth d20=7 Monday January 22nd, 2001 9:55:54 AM
Noticing all the comments and the mayors demeanor, the warrior says in an even diplomatice tone (CHA by 11). "Its seems someone has been determined to sully our name. It would appear that we've had a lot of things attributed to our credit while we slept this afternoon. Perhaps we should compare notes so you can determine that we are not the ones you should be worried about?".
Onrad Monday January 22nd, 2001 12:19:50 PM
Onrad, realizing that it was Jus' place to stand on the other side of Gareth from Nonam, takes a place in the party's second row, between Tericus and Teko. He bows in turn.
He silently thanks his mother and granny for teaching him the ways of the court when he was a lad.
Unconsciously, he reaches for his holy symbol of Wardd and brings it out. He says a silent prayer for luck and for grace.
