Cutcobra Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Heckz puts on his Wicked Perfume. And dodges Throlar's attack in case the enamoring didn't work. "Basically, you're trying to hurt me because you didn't 'expect' this of me? Do me a favour and knock your head with a stick. Maybe that should help the situation. Now, you guys wanna wait for the innkeeper or." Edited January 19, 2015 by Cutcobra Quote
Kintobor Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) QM Note: Bwahaha! Okay, I'll let that fly! In an act of self defence, Heckz douses himself with his Wicked Perfume, causing Throlar to back away due to it's strong, almost suffocatingly sickening stench. There would be no fight now, but the tension still remained. The party decides to check Rollinger's corpse, to ensure that everything of his was still there and in one piece. As the party enters the common room, they find his body on a bloodied cot, his face deep in his pillow and three wounds in his back. The five items the party was tasked to deliver sit around his bed, almost tauntingly. The stench from the corpse was almost as bad as the odour coming off of Heckz. The deceased paladin's equipment was ripe for the taking... except it seemed as if all his equipment was either made to fit Rollinger or to unwieldily for anyone not trained in how to use it. The party gathers what they can and divides what they can.

Duvors Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Heckz puts on his Wicked Perfume. "Basically, you're trying to hurt me because you didn't 'expect' this of me? Do me a favour and knock your head with a stick. Maybe that should help the situation. Now, you guys wanna wait for the innkeeper or." "Okay, you're right, I fully expected it of you too, I have no right to persecute you for being a selfish bastard.""However I still want you to pay for that damn insult." Throlar lunged at Heckz, again, it was getting rather repetitive. Fortunately the perfume caused him to stop in his tracks and swiftly vomit out everything he ate last night, which was nothing. This caused him extreme pain. Quote
Khorne Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 "Are you so utterly self-absorbed that you don't even care that a man has just been killed? What in the BLUE BLOOMING BLAZES OF HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?" "Wow, wow, wow, little man, what's with all the dirty words?", Eric mockingly said. The Nord then shrugged, underlining the fact he really didn't care about Rollinger's death. "People die every day. It's the only certainty you have in life. In fact, Rollinger should be glad we're here to take care of his stuff now, so that it doens't go to waste." "The Paladin will be...", Eric didn't finish the sentence and merely coughed. He was going to say 'missed', but he'd be lying. The Nord didn't even know why he bothered started the sentence. "Whatever." Drawing his sword, Throlar finds blood dripping from his weapon. In fact, a weapon on all of the heroes was covered in blood... For a minute Eric turned his attention towards his weapon and noticed it was covered in blood, just like Throlar's and Heckz's weapons. He grabbed a towel from behind the bar and tried to clean his blade. Slowly he strode towards Rollinger's corpse while Heckz and Throlar were bickering. He took the Paladin's money and grinned widely. "Told them I had dibs on the money,", he thought while he pocketed the gold. "Eric, you are exempt from the maiming, to tell the truth I really didn't expect anything but callousness from you. Now Heckz, if you'll just close your eyes and hold still..." Throlar lunged at Heckz, whirling his sword over his head like a madman. He then commented on a remark Throlar had made some minutes earlier. "That's not really nice of you to exclude me from maiming. I like maiming others, too." "Tsk. 'Callous' is such a harsh word. I do care for others, there just not present here." he chuckled. The Nord knew Throlar meant Eric was exempt from being maimed by the Dwarf, but he deliberately twisted the Dwarf's words to spite him. Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Heckz laughed as Throlar failed at lunging him, "Oh no! Please not the vomit!" He said sarcastically. He then turned serious. "Don't get it in my shoes though."' He then grabbed all the other items and searched for the paladin's armour. "Eric, be a dear and pick the cursed items since you so deeply 'whatever' Rollinger." Quote
Duvors Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Before Eric could take the five items Throlar grabbed them instead. "Not to disobey orders, but I really don't trust you two with these. I understand you far too well. The person I don't understand however is the one who took our weapons in th night and killed our friend here. Oh, and that reminds me." Throlar took out his Elven longsword and wiped it clean on Heckz's expensive, snazzy, tailor-made shirt. He then bent down, turned over the body, and hefted it up from the cot, the smaller Throlar clearly staggering under it's weight. "The Paladin Order may want this." He then commented on a remark Throlar had made some minutes earlier. "That's not really nice of you to exclude me from maiming. I like maiming others, too." "Tsk. 'Callous' is such a harsh word. I do care for others, there just not present here." he chuckled. The Nord knew Throlar meant Eric was exempt from being maimed by the Dwarf, but he deliberately twisted the Dwarf's words to spite him. "Oh bugger up and sod off." Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Heckz looked at the approaching Throlar with his bloodied longsword. "If you do it you can start saying goodbye to the loot and the quest reward." Quote
Duvors Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Heckz looked at the approaching Throlar with his bloodied longsword. "If you do it you can start saying goodbye to the loot and the quest reward." "You know what? I don't care, at all." Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Heckz seemed 'calm', although his eyes and eyebrows were twitching. "I'm throwing you down the next well we see. Then I'll loot your corpse alongside Eric, if he's up to it." Heckz cleans his scythe with the bedsheets. Quote
Khorne Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Eric moved to fetch the Cursed Items, but the small Dwarf was surprisingly too fast and quickly took possession of the items himself. The Nord cursed inwardly, but figured he'd let it slide. The situation was volatile enough as it were. At least Eric still had the Cup. Heckz seemed 'calm', although his eyes and eyebrows were twitching. "I'm throwing you down the next well we see. Then I'll loot your corpse alongside Eric, if he's up to it." Heckz cleans his scythe with the bedsheets. Eric cracked his knuckles and chuckled. "Always up for some looting." "So, what's our next step?" Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 "So, what's our next step?" "Keep going, obviously. Unless we find a fancy tailor along the way." Quote
Kintobor Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 At least Eric still had the Cup. ... Or did he. Eric soon realizes that Throlar has the cup in his possession, seeing as how the five various objects circled Rollinger's death bed. He then bent down, turned over the body, and hefted it up from the cot, the smaller Throlar clearly staggering under it's weight. "The Paladin Order may want this." Throlar tries to heft the paladin's body up, but it's still too heavy to lift alone. It'd be pretty hard to convince people it wasn't a dead body should they encounter someone at the Weeping Inn or on the road with all of the deep and bloody wounds staining his back. Would the party take Rollinger's body? Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 "We've got two options: We take this stinking corpse and the Paladin's Order will probably blame us for his murder, or we don't take him and they question us. I say we don't, what do you think Eric?" He said, purposely ignoring Throlar. Quote
Khorne Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 "Obviously, we leave it behind. We already have all of Rollinger's valuables. His corpse certainly isn't a part of that. I do think, however, it's probably not wise to leave his body just lying around here." Eric looked around trying to find something that might help getting rid of the body, maybe a torch so they could burn Rollinger's corpse, but he didn't see anything at first sight. "Perhaps you can use your garnet to make hole in the ground and then we dump him there? Management will be back soon and I'd rather not be seen with the corpse of a dead Paladin in my vicinity." Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 "Very well then. Someone get the corpse. We'll go outside so we can bury him. Then we'll continue with our journey." Quote
Khorne Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Eric nodded in agreement and then simply motioned towards Throlar, not even bothering to help the poor Dwarf carry the weight of the dead Paladin. "Come on, let's take it outside already." Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 OoC: Kinto, I think you should have also removed the Wicked Perfume from Heckz' inventory. Quote
Kintobor Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 QM Note: Noted. Surprised I didn't do that early, because I swear I did. Once Throlar throws his two cents in (it's a two to one vote, and since the party leader wants to bury the body we'll be going with his say, but I still want to give Duvors a chance to speak up), I'll move you guys along. Quote
Duvors Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 "Oh shut up, if you're going to bury him make it quick, I want to leave this place as fast as possible." Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 "Hmm, I thought I heard something. It must have been the wind, so let the wind carry the body." Heckz commands the party outside. Quote
Khorne Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 As the party made their way outside, Eric noticed a shovel amongst Throlar's items and grinned widely. (I assume Throlar's shovel is strapped to a rucksack or something, like they do in the army ) . The Nord walked up next to Heckz and spoke. "Looks like you won't even have to spend Ether to dig us a hole.", Eric said while gesturing Throlar's shovel. He chuckled. "Dwarfs are born diggers, so they say." Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 "They also say real dwarves have beards. I was beggining to think we had shirt-ruining gnome amongst us." Heckz unpatiently taps his foot, waiting for Throlar to shovel. Quote
Duvors Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 "They also say real dwarves have beards. I was beggining to think we had shirt-ruining gnome amongst us." Heckz unpatiently taps his foot, waiting for Throlar to shovel. "I didn't want to say it again, so I won't." Throlar took his pickaxe and ripped a chunk of masonry from the wall. "Headstone." he said monosyllabically. At that he went outside and began to dig. Quote
Cutcobra Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 "Is anyone going to write something on this headstone or shall we keep going on?" Quote
Khorne Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Eric shook his head and rolled his eyes out of pure annoyance as Throlar ripped a chunk of masonry off the wall. The Nord wanted to protest, but simply threw his hands in the air and let things be. The whole reason of burying the corpse of the Paladin in a ditch besides the road was to cover up his death. Putting up a headstone next to his grave wasn't going to help keep things hidden. "Raving lunatic," Eric muttered under his breath and proceeded to carve some text on the improvised headstone with his sword. Here Lies Billy Bob. "Trampled by horses" RIP He laughed and grinned widely as he finished his epitaph. Quote
