Chromeknight Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 QM Note - Party after loot distributed. I gave Fenimor 5 gold as he did take part in the battle and Nerwen said 5 to each hero. Sorrow rolled her eyes as the two Orcs talked exitedly in broken Common. "No reward is worth this!" Gorg has joined the party! Now that they had replaced the Sargassen, Sorrow inquired of the group: "I take it it is still your intention to visit this so-called medicine man? Fill Gorg in on the way, we have tarried long enough!" The party heads back out towards the Hovels, Vres Halpo guiding them towards the medicine man. Speaking rapidly in fluent orcish Nerwen conveys the essential details of their quest so far. Out of the corner of her eye, she also watches to see Sorrow's reaction to her choice of language, gauging how well she speaks the language of the greenskins. That done, she steps forward to ask Vres Which part of town is the medicine man's shop?
Rumble Strike Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Sorrow frowns, she cannot understand Orcish. Vres leads them back the way they came. When they go past the makeshift prison area he shudders. The party travel deeper into the hovels until they come to a dimly lit shop. It's not a shop in the traditional sense - there's no need for those in the Hovels, where everyone knows everyone else's business and there's not much call for window shopping. It's not the touristy part of Eubric. A strange looking humanoid with green, pebbly skin waves at Vres from the arches of his shop. Clearly he recognises the poor, dishevelled man. "Hallo hallo weary travellers! Vres bring friends to see Jurn?" Sorrow puts her head in her hands and motions for the party to answer.
Darth Nihilus Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 "Hello Jurn, we're here with Vres to visit his wife and find Laxadaisi Velomptromp. Perhaps you can help us with that?" Dak flashes his sweetest, most innocent smile, and subtly influences the man's mind to agree.
Chromeknight Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) A strange looking humanoid with green, pebbly skin waves at Vres from the arches of his shop. Clearly he recognises the poor, dishevelled man. "Hallo hallo weary travellers! Vres bring friends to see Jurn?" Sorrow puts her head in her hands and motions for the party to answer. Greeting Jurn, We are helping Vres to uncover the cause of the sickness that afflicts his wife and village. Do you have any thoughts on it? Also, does Vres owe you anything for the medicine? Turning to the party she says quietly. If we are able to cover the cost of the medicine that would be good. It will help build trust. Seeing Sorrow hang back, Nerwen gestures to include her in the conversation. This is Sorrow, she is a mystic working for the Ziegfrieds, we are also helping her locate a gemstone for her masters.

Rumble Strike Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 Jurn beams a smile at the party. "Elf has so many questions. Jurn happy to answer them! Jurn likes talking to new friends! Vres is Jurn's best customer. Jurn sells Vres many potions for sick Jui and others. Friend Vres need another potion? Cost is 30 gold. Jurn not know why Jui is sick. Jurn unhappy about that. Jurn think Sorrow is good name for someone who doesn't smile." At this, Sorrow scowls. Vres looks at the others, distraught. "I don't have that kind of money. I was hoping to do some chores or something for Jurn to pay him off." What will the party do?
Lordofdragonss Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Gorg thinks that we need help weaklings! Gorg is ready to give some moneys. Edited November 19, 2011 by Lordofdragonss
Bioniclover Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Gorg thinks that we need help weaklings! Gorg is ready to give some moneys. "Knifk will hand over 15 gold to help friend Vres!" Knifk says, happily giving up all his Gold.
Darth Nihilus Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 "Knifk will hand over 15 gold to help friend Vres!" Knifk says, happily giving up all his Gold. "Agreed. " Dak hands over 5 Gold to help pay for the medicine.
Lordofdragonss Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 So Gorg will give his 10! *Gives 10 gold*
Scubacarrot Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 "What exactly is IN the potion? And what is it for?"
Chromeknight Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 "What exactly is IN the potion? And what is it for?" Nerwen collects the money from the heroes who volunteered it and hand it over. I'll repay it from loot we'll collect. She says to Jurn Vres hasn't been able to tell us much about the sickness. And Guts has a good question, what's in the potion, what's it do?
Xarrzan Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 "Elf has so many questions. Jurn happy to answer them! Jurn likes talking to new friends! Vres is Jurn's best customer.

Jurn think Sorrow is good name for someone who doesn't smile." "Jurn, about how many others also require your potionsss for this particular ailment?"
Rumble Strike Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) With the selfless attitude of the party no more apparent than with the two Orcs, Nerwen gathers the necessary gold, pays Jurn and receives Jurn's Potion (Quest Item): Guts Holla (played by Scubacarrot) Level 2 Rogue Power: 5 Health: 8/8 Gold: 10 Inventory: Rusty Shortsword (WP:3), Potion, Venom, Bedroll Sarick Lanse (played by Xarrzan) Level 2 Mage Power: 5 Health: 6/6 Ether: 6/6 Gold: 15 Inventory: Healing Staff (WP:5, healing effect), Shark Fang Dagger (WP: 3),Opal Gem (Ice), Potion, Staff of Healing (HP:5) Dak Nikolus (played by darthnihilus) Level 2 Rogue Power: 5 Health: 8/8 Gold: 0 Inventory: Twin Longswords (WP:3), Venom, 2 Potions, Bedroll Nerwen Calmcacil (played by Chromeknight) ** Party Leader ** Level 2 Cleric Power: 5 Health: 6/10 Ether: 5/6 Gold: 5 Inventory: Wooden Staff (WP:3), Potion x2, Remedy, Fire Bomb, Jurn's Potion (Quest Item) Gorg (played by Lordofdragonss) Level 1 Barbarian Power: 4 Health: 8/8 Gold: 0 Inventory: Bone club (WP:3), a bottle of Mead, Potion Knifk (played by Bioniclover) Level 2 Knight Power: 5 Health: 9/11 Gold: 0 Inventory: Morning Star (WP:3), Wyrm Shield (SP:2), Potion The transaction then completed, the easy-going Jurn tries to answer their questions. "Jurn used to be apprentice for Guild of Invision. Guild full of Alchemists. Jurn had skill in alchemy and did well, but Jurn very clumsy. Poor Jurn kicked out of Guild for starting chemical fire. Jurn has to live in Hovels, but Jurn still has skills. Jurn takes ingredients and herbs to create special potions on order. Friend Vres say that in his village, several people get sick. Jurn creates potion to ease sickness, but Jurn cannot create potion to defeat sickness. Jurn has tried many things, many combinations, but none work. Jurn worried that sickness cannot be cured." Vres takes up the tale. "Jurn here has tried his best, but the ingredients he needs are not cheap. I used all my wages from the mine until it was shut down, but that has meant less money to pay for Jurn's help. Thnak you kind heroes for buying the potion. Can we go see Jui now? I am desperate to make sure she is OK." Edited November 23, 2011 by Rumble Strike
Xarrzan Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 "The priestess teachesss us that all sicknesses can be cured, it's just that finding the cure is the hardest part. Jurn, what ingridentsss do you require for your potion? Maybe we can find the ingredients on our way to see Jui."
Darth Nihilus Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 "Interesting. I have a theory, and I hope I'm on track here. I think that either: a. The Darkstar is causing the sickness. b. The Darkstar is the cure to the sickness. or c. The Darkstar is in the mine that Vres used to work at. Those are the best solutions to this problem I can think of. Let's continue on our way, shall we?"
Lordofdragonss Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 "Gorg thinks its nice idea snakeguy!" We can help! Do Jurn have ideas what could make this people sick?
Rumble Strike Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 "Let's see. For this batch, Jurn used 1 x Essense of Elmstone, 1 x Highflower Herb, 1 x Spiderlily Petal and.... Jurn forgets other ingredients. Jurn sorry. Jurn not know what causes sickness. Jurn want to cure sickness as much as anyone!" "It's clear this... halfwit is of no further use to us. I suggest moving on."
Chromeknight Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Jurn not know what causes sickness. Jurn want to cure sickness as much as anyone!" "It's clear this... halfwit is of no further use to us. I suggest moving on." Let's go then. To your village Vres. Lead the way. Are you all packed and ready for a trip Sorrow?
Rumble Strike Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 "I do not need to pack anything, Elf. Come on, Vres Halpo will lead us to his village." "Ve'er is not all that far, a night and a day to travel." The party leave Eubric and head towards Vres' village. They camp off the road, but with two Elvish heroes to call on for night watch they are uninterrupted in the night. Vres is very worried about his wife as they approach Ve'er. It is like a Western main street. The areas the party can go are: Laxadaisi's Magic Shop The Orcshead Tavern Vres' home The abandoned mine Where would the party like to go? Majority decision needed
Xarrzan Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 "I suggest we go to Vres' home. We can speak to his wife and give her the medicine."
Darth Nihilus Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 "I say we should go to the abondoned mine first, since that is the most likely place for the gem to be. Sorrow, perhaps one of the Orcs can accompany Vres to his home or Laxadaisi's shop, while the rest of us and you go to the mine to search for the Darkstar? Of course, we could go to the magic shop first, then Vres's house, then the tavern, then the mine, and we would have a much better chance to find what we are looking for. Nerwyn ,which way would you have us go? I will follow where you lead." Dak examines the town's inhabitants intently, not wanting to be caught off guard like he was when the bandits attacked in Eubric.
Bioniclover Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 "Maybe company split up? Gorg, Vres, and Knifk go to Vres's home to give medicine, then meet with Dak, Sorrow and Nerwen who go to magic shop, then meet Guts and Sarrick, who will question people at tavern. Then Party go to mine to search for Darkstar. Knifk thinks the most powerful enemies will be in mine so is okay to split up."

But if we do, I'd prefer to go to the magic shop rather than the Tavern."
Bioniclover Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 "I do not believe it is wise to split up. But if we do, I'd prefer to go to the magic shop rather than the Tavern." "Knifk randomly picked names for locations, so snakey man could go wherever he wanted if we splat up." OOC: "Splat up" is Knifk's bad grammar, not mine
