Heroica RPG- Quest # 55: Sang Des Hommes

[herrJJ]

"I wonder where this path is leading us. I'd prefer to go straight ahead. We should probably mark our way to not get confused by this labyrinth."

[-obelix-]

Thalion nodded, "It is as good a heading as the other. I say straight too."

[Wedge09]

"Ok, I agree to go on straight ahead." After saying that, Alexander tries to dig the ground in search of treasure.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

The path continues a long way... Will the party continue?

[herrJJ]

"Onwards, I say."

[PsyKater]

"Let's turn around! I have a bad feeling!"

[-obelix-]

"Yes, lets continue onward. It looks like there is something in the distance in this direction..."

[Wedge09]

Note to QM: There is no treasure after digging??

"Personally I think that road is equal to the other and therefore I'm for continuing onwards. However, I think a good idea to prepare for any bad encounters." After saying that, Alexander tries to dig a second time in search for treasure.

[PsyKater]

"Yes, lets continue onward. It looks like there is something in the distance in this direction..."

"Yeh, there seem people standing. Ah, you will deal with those."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

The path leads to a dead end, but it appears to have a camp of some sort. There are crates and barrels. No one seems to be around. Alexander digs, and finds a buried 5 gold. What does the party do?

Thalion looks around for anyone, and searches two crates, a barrel and a tent.

Edited December 16, 2012 by -obelix-

[Wedge09]

Alexander prepare himself and searches carefully the surrounding area, the tent, the two crates and the barrel as Thalion. "It seems quite abandoned but sometimes looks can be deceiving."

After that Alexander tries to dig another time.

To QM: I try to dig but if you don't want to give me any reward I don't have any problem; I'd like to dig for all the quest, battle excluded

[HeinzWilhelm]

Janek has been quiet for some time. "Please my old bones aches" he said "maybes we can stops and rests? Maybes something to eat and drink in this barrel?"

[PsyKater]

Amma looks between the shrubbery if she can find something useful.

"Let's turn around then. I told you that this was a bad idea."

Edited December 16, 2012 by PsyKater

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Thalion looks around for anyone, and searches two crates, a barrel and a tent.

No one is around. In the tent you find a folded up piece of paper sealed by wax. If you opened it, you couldn't put it back. The crates contain some spare swords and helmets. Though without knights or barbarians, they were useless.

Alexander prepare himself and searches carefully the surrounding area, the tent, the two crates and the barrel as Thalion. "It seems quite abandoned but sometimes looks can be deceiving."

After that Alexander tries to dig another time.

To QM: I try to dig but if you don't want to give me any reward I don't have any problem; I'd like to dig for all the quest, battle excluded

You take a closer look, you find that the occupants of this camp are close by and have only left recently. They could be back soon. (Also, you got 5 gold, I meant that to be closer to the camp. But you dig again, and find nothing. You'll have to choose better spots than out in the wilderness.)

Janek has been quiet for some time. "Please my old bones aches" he said "maybes we can stops and rests? Maybes something to eat and drink in this barrel?"

You look in the barrel, and find a strange red liquid with a weird smell.

Nothing is found in the shrubbery.

[Wedge09]

Seeing the result of his search, Alexander says: "I think that the paper sealed with wax is very important as the strange re liquid with a weird smell. In my opinion, but maybe I'm wrong, this would seems to be a camp for some kind of messenger carrying the paper sealed with wax escorted by several guards but they recently fled in a hurry. I think it's better to be prepared for any eventuality."

After that he turns to Thalion and the other party to sees their thoughts.

[PsyKater]

"Don't open the letter! It may be cursed! But maybe we should take it with us.

Can we hide somewhere to find out who this belongs to. They may come back soon." says Amma, looking around for a place to hide.

[-obelix-]

"I agree, we shouldn't open the letter, who knows what it is or who it belongs too. We could however take it with us, but that is a risk I am not willing to take." Thalion thinks for a moment, "Well, we have two options; we can either sit here and wait for whoever is stationed in this camp to show up, or we can go back and try a different route? I think we should go back and try another path. Trent, the person who left the note in the Hall, has still not shown himself to us. I find that very odd..."

[herrJJ]

"I think we should open the letter. Maybe there is useful information in it", Nessa proclaims and adding in her thoughts 'perhaps information about my gem or the dwarf.' Nobody could hear that though but she got a certain expression on her face by these thoughts.

Nessa also checks the surrounding for more clous like the high grass or the big leaves on the ground.

"We should also see where the other ways are leading us", Nessa suggests.

She gets a feeling that she has absolutely no idea of these quest things. Perhaps she should just start to get more into it... More participating...

[Vash the Stampede]

Sorry I have not been active, real life suddenly slapped me in the face.from tomorrow onwards I should be able to check in often.

"I agree it's odd our hirer hasn't showed up. Perhaps we should head back on the other path."

[PsyKater]

"I told you."

[Capt.JohnPaul]

So do you open the letter or not?

Also, you recall Trent is waiting at the town under siege.

[Wedge09]

"If you allow me, I have an idea. I'm also of the idea that the letter may be enchanted but the content could be usefull. Therefore I propose that: one of the heroes with the lowest level could offer himself to open the letter and undergo any spells. My is only an idea and if Thalion and others disagree I have no problem. If we make nothing I agree to return to the last intersection and change path. "

I know my idea could be sadistic but I think it is a possible way to know the content of the letter.

[herrJJ]

"At least someone who understands me!" Nessa said. "I say let the dwarf open it. He... I mean she is the smallest one of us. So any negative effects would probably be less harmful on him... eehh her."

OOC: Oh man, someone's bitchy today. I told her not to be, but she never listens to me

[PsyKater]

Amma looks angry at the girly elf. "Do you still have a problem with me? I said 'do not open the letter'. So I certainly won't do it."

ooc: party leader / QM: If you always do the opposite of what Amma does, it will be ok. I'm just roleplaying. Amma is kind of ... screwy at the moment (always wanting the opposite of what the majority wants). If there is something I really want, I will emphasize it in ooc. ;)
