CorneliusMurdock Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 That is odd. Why would pill not be there?
Etzel Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 "Oh, was the pill golden in color? We saw it in here before..." Alexis looks in the cabinet, and on the floor. Alexis searched but can't find the golden pill (wonder why!). "Yes, it was! Have you been here in my office? Why? Did you touch anything?" That is odd. Why would pill not be there? "Well, you tell me! Apparently you were the last persons in here!" Jorke is starting to look really nervous and frenetically searches through all his drawers and shelves.
CorneliusMurdock Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Cronk did not take pill and Cronk takes great offense in such an accusation. If pill is not here, maybe Priestess has already been here and retrieved pill. Alexis, Cronk, and Jorke should go find Priestess and find out. OOC: Let's get this show on the road. Time is loot.
Masked Builder Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 "I didn't take it either. Cronk makes a good point. Let's go to her."
Etzel Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 "Hold it! This doesn't add up, you said Mandrea sent you to tell me to get the verita pill, why would she have gone and got it herself then? There is something fishy going on here..." Jorke slowly turns around and starts looking in his cabinet once more. Suddenly he spins around and throws a bottle at the floor while covering his face with a piece of cloth. The bottle shatters and a pungent smelling gas fills the room which causes Alexis and Cronk to start to cough uncontrollably and their eyes to tear. Meanwhile Jorke is trying to run past the heroes out of the room. The heroes must try to stop him despite all their disadvantages: PREPARE FOR BATTLE!

Masked Builder Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Alexis drinks a remedy, then shoots a darkness spell at Jorke from the back row. "Cronk, you want this remedy?" Battle Order: Cronk Alexis Alexis
CorneliusMurdock Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Next round, Alexis, Cronk would very much appreciate it. Cronk cannot see to bash right now. Cronk will use diplomacy from back row. Jorke, please calm down. Losing pill is indeed very upsetting but there is no reason to attack party. Just come with friends to Priestess Mandrea and Cronk is sure this can all be worked out. For Cronk's action, Cronk will feel Cronk's way to doorway and try to block exit by either closing door or, failing that, putting wide self in doorway.
Etzel Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 Round One of Battle against Jorke the Cleric >Alexis takes Remedy - Effects removed. >Alexis vs. Jorke - Damage (Alexis is stunned) Cronk tries Diplomacy - Fail Cronk Badly Poisoned - (44 health - 10 = 34 health) Cronk Blessed - (34 + 3 = 37 health) Alexis takes a remedy to get rid of the badly poisoned and blinded effect and then tries to hit Jorke with a darkness spell. But the cleric is faster and throws another bottle which stuns Alexis for the next turn. Cronk tries to talk diplomatically to Jorke, but the poisonous gas makes the orc unable to make any sounds but coughing. He then loses 10 health because of the same reason but regains 3 health thanks to his amulet.

CorneliusMurdock Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Cronk cannot physically attack Jorke but Cronk will hope that attempting to heal Jorke will keep Jorke occupied this round. Cronk will heal Jorke from back row. Jorke doesn't have to do this! Do not make this any worse than it is!
Etzel Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 Round Two of Battle against Jorke the Cleric Alexis is stunned Cronk heals Jorke - No heal Cronk Badly Poisoned - (37 health - 10 = 27 health) Cronk Blessed - (27 + 3 = 30 health) Cronk blindly tries to heal the cleric but can't make it work in all the disorder, however, it distracts Jorke from fleeing somehow.

I've also brought you a fourth bottle of my best beer, you seem to like it. To bad your friends missed the meal time yet again, will they never learn?" "Oh, I'm sure they will be around soon. Mmm, that food smells lovely!" Haldor finishes his drink, but then stands. "Wait, I think that I can hear noises coming from down the hallway. I wonder what's going on, I probably best go and take a look. My thanks for your hospitality." The nord exits the room, and begins to fast walk down the hallway toward the noises. When he reaches the Sanctuary he can hear the noises even better coming from the private rooms and quickly runs that way. Haldor will arrive to the battle at the end of next round.
Masked Builder Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 "Here you are Cronk." Alexis tosses him the remedy, then shoots a darkness spell at Jorke from the back row. Battle Order: Alexis Cronk Alexis
CorneliusMurdock Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Cronk cannot believe that worked. Cronk will bash Jorke from front row using Twin Broadswords.
Etzel Posted December 17, 2012 Author Posted December 17, 2012 Round Three of Battle against Jorke the Cleric Alexis uses Remedy on Cronk - Effects removed Cronk vs. Jorke - Special Damage Alexis vs. Jorke Cronk Blessed - (30 + 3 = 33 health) While Alexis helps Cronk remedy the negative effects, the cleric sees his chance and tries to escape. Cronk makes a dive for him but Jorke avoids the orc's grasping hands by inches and dashes out the door. The enemy has fled and the battle is over. No levels of experience are gained.

But... Just seconds after Jorke has disappeared through the door and loud bang is heard in the corridor, followed by clinging and clanging noises. Alexis and Cronk hurry out and are met with this sight: Haldor is slowly getting up while rubbing his forehead where a large dint is starting to form. Jorke the cleric lying across his legs, apparently unconscious with all his different potions and brews shattered around the corridor.

Masked Builder Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 "So, who wants what? Haldor and Cronk, can you two carry him to the priestess?"
CorneliusMurdock Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Cronk does not need anything. Yes, Cronk will help carry Jorke after Cronk heals Haldor and Cronk. Cronk thinks friends should hurry so Jorke does not regain consciousness before friends get to priestess.
Masked Builder Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 "I agree Cronk." Alexis keeps the Nostrum, Tonic, and Soma, hands the other items to Haldor. Then leads the way to the priestess.

Before the heroes get to move the knocked out cleric, priestess Mandrea arrives to the scene with the company of two soldiers in shining golden armor. "Oh by the Light! What has happened here? I only asked you to bring him to me, not this! Is...is he dead?" "Just knocked out, priestess. Jorke tried to escape but had a hard collision with Haldor, who thanks to his thick scull seems to be quite fine." "Blessed be Ennoc, thank you Haldor for your bravery. Who knows what that scum would've done if he had escaped." "Hrm, so this is the murderer then? We will make sure to question him thoroughly to find out if this murder of our commander was part of any bigger conspiracy. We have ways to make him talk..." "Yes, sir Jons. I will gladly hand over him to you for further investigation. I consider my part of this awful story to be over, I'm pleased that my brother's murderer has been caught and I don't want to think about it anymore." The soldiers picks up the cleric and leaves, and the priestess turns back to the heroes. "That was sir Jons, the second in command of the 2'nd Battalion of Light and Justice and a good friend of my brother, he will handle the matter from now on. As for you three, I owe you a lot to thank for. I don't have much to reward you for your services here, but I got some connections in Eubric that might help me with this. I'll write you a letter that you can bring to High Priestess Alisameth and she will take care of that. Thank you again!" The mission in the convent is completed. Does the heroes have anything else they want to do in the House of Ennoc's Children before returning to Eubric?
Scorpiox Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Haldor rubbed his head. "Ow... but it looks like I arrived just on-time. Good work on rooting out the bastard, Cronk." The nord steadied himself against a wall. "Sorry, where are my manners? Maybe something did happen to my head after all, or is it just a side-effect of the wine? I thank you for your hospitality here, Priestess, and I'm glad that we managed to sort out this grisly mess before Jorke could do any more harm. It is just sad that this had to happen at all, and I guess we'll never know why he did it. I hope that all goes well in the Convent for many more years to come." Haldor bowed low, and turned to his comrades. "You two did really well, you solved this lot without any help from me. I realise that I've been little other than a liability this quest. But before we go, there is something that I'd like to do first. Is there any chance that we can visit the novices one last time?"
CorneliusMurdock Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Priestess, Cronk is once again very sorry for loss. Cronk wishes bad things did not happen. May Ennoc guide priestess through this hard time. Haldor, Cronk knows Haldor try really hard. Sometimes fortune is not kind. These things happen. Cronk is ready to return to Eubric whenever friends are ready.
Masked Builder Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 "Thank you Mandrea, we are happy to have helped. Sure thing Haldor." Alexis heads to the novices.
Etzel Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 The heroes return to the novices room because Haldor has one last thing he wants to do before leaving the convent.
Scorpiox Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Haldor stepped into the room and cleared his throat loudly. "Um, hello folks. Before we depart, I just wanted to come back here to say how sorry I am for my actions earlier. I've had... things on my mind lately. But that is no excuse, I shouldn't have flipped like that. You did nothing wrong." He paused for a moment, collecting thoughts. "You'll all be pleased to know that it has all worked out fine now. We got the culprit, or rather Cronk did, so you don't have to worry any more. The Priestess will probably want to break the news to you properly at some time later, but I thought that telling you would put your minds at rest. Look, I'm really sorry for what I did. And I'll be going soon anyway, but I hope that you can forgive me, and not remember me solely as the bad person that I appear."
Etzel Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 "Apology accepted. So the murderer was caught? Lets go find the priestess girls, this we must hear about." "Of course we didn't do anything wrong. We were not the one shouting and making a scene... Uhm, except that fight between me and Najdalena... Sorry about that, it was childish of us." "..." "Bye bye! Come visit us anytime you want!" The heroes says good bye to the novices and walk over to the entry to prepare for departure. Priestess Mandrea meets the heroes in the entry as they are about to leave. "Thank you once again for your help. Here is the letter to High Priestess Alisameth I promised you. Just give it to her and she will make sure you get your reward. Farewell!" The heroes give the priestess their thanks and leave the House of Ennoc's Children. The journey back to Eubric doesn't offer much in terms of murders and mysteries, but that suits the heroes quite well. They arrive to the Temple of Ennoc in Eubric by the second day of traveling. "Welcome back heroes! I hope the letter was delivered as ordered?" The heroes assure the High Priestess that so was the case, and then proceeds to tell about the murder, the investigation that they took part in, and the capture of Jorke the cleric. Then they present the letter that priestess Mandrea had given them. "That is ill news you bring me, heroes. Sir Mandric might not had been the perfect paladin in all ways, but I never thought anyone would go as far as taking his life. This will have effects on our Order and me and the High Counsel will have much work to do the coming time, as we didn't have enough on our hands already. Mysterious problems have arisen in a lot of places we take part in... Ehum, but I thank you for your part in this, you have done the Order a big favor and you have earned a reward. Take this gold of 200 pieces each. I also think you will feel that this experience of trying to find out the murderer will have taken you to a whole new level."

Masked Builder Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 On the last night of travel, as Alexis sleeps. She dreams. She sees Firnen inside his house. She knows what happens next, and try as she might, she can't stop what's happening. Alexis' vision-enhanced hearing catches the door clicking shut. A flame comes through the door, and her hearing picks up a gruff voice saying, "His time has come." Firnen stares in shock, wondering why this is happening to him. Firnen desperately tries to put out the raging flames, but it is no use. The fire spreads at a rapid pace, quickly towering over him, and before Firnen can get to the door, a beam slams across the door and blocks his escape. He acknowledges that he is about to die and turns. Firnen sees something he wasn't expecting: a figure in a dark cloak, black as a moonless night, staring solidly back at him. Fire engulfs the rest of Firnen's house as Alexis begins to scream. Her vision fades. She bolts upright and finds herself still screaming. But manages to stop herself to not wake the others up. She gasps, trying to catch her breath.
