In-Character 2a Oh, what a tangled web we weave...

It seems a bit odd, really. Your walk here was short enough that Constable Thorsdun should have only just arrived before you.

Masov

'Alright then. I've got a relatively bad feeling about this - the Baron's general demeanor, Thorsdun's activities, his unidentified guards, and now this. Wonder if there's a back door or kitchen entry.

It's getting weird, at any rate, and we're missing two of our own. I'd want to go find them first.'

maps are down still, dunno if we had a view of the manor or not included

 

Woops! Forgot about the image problem. I'll see if I can get the maps back up today.

Kerrick Helmsworth

Kerrick nods at Masov. “I agree. I’ve got a bad feeling about this. I think we need to find our other two members, and after that, the time for subtlety may have ended.”

Hengist

"Agreed!"

So what is the party doing to find them? And where are those we haven't heard from (Miska, Andrew, and Aria), and what are they doing?

Andrew
“If we really want to I’m sure we could cut our way through.” Andrew says witnessing the failure with the door.

Hengist

"No, justice will just have to wait.  I'd say look for Kaul at the inn."

Warily backing off from the Baron's manor, the party heads back into the streets towards the Twelve Sheep rest house. The streets seem, if anything, emptier than earlier, with virtually no-one else about. Without encountering anyone on the way back to the rest house, the trip is entirely uneventful.

Once there, the group only has time to exchange pleasantries with their hostess, Illyana, before Kaul arrives, slipping through the front door, breathless and cradling his backpack in his arms. Gwydion still isn't present.

Hengist

I close the door...  "Hope you found something.  All I got was creeped out."

Kaul

"I found a weird box... a closed weird box, that now i have in my backpack, i faild to open it soi i dont know whats inside, but it cenrtanly look weird, all leafy and elvish"

"That and i almost run into the initiaties of the temple of Solis, they were heading to the carpenter´s workshop with constable Aramis Thorsdun"

Masov

'Wooden box? Maybe it'll break open. Let's go over to a secluded corner and have a look at it.'

'How many initiates? Any chance you overheard them saying anything? Were they armed? Did Gwydion get out or is he still in there, as far as you know?'

"that sounds like a good plan"

(DM: How many initiates? Were they armed?)

"I didnt heard anything, was to busy avoiding them"

[quote="koewn"]

Gwydion get out or is he still in there, as far as you know?'

[/quote]

"I dont know, but i didnt stay long, i belived that he was already out"

Kerrick Helmsworth

“I don’t think we have time to examine the box right now. We don’t know whether or not Gwydion got out safely, and we know that the constable left to fetch those initiates and bring them back.”

“We cannot take the risk that Gwydion was captured and is about to be an unwilling participant in a dark ritual. We must return to the workshop with all speed and find out what is going on there now.”

Kaul

"lets go then"

Hengist

*Looks longingly at the leafy lid of Kaul's chest, but, as stoic as he is suggestible, opens the door and takes point.*

"Don't forget your dog!"

Miska

"We should indeed find stout Gwydion, and find out what he has discovered" Miska says, looking at Kerrick for encouragement and support.
