The search for Hrothgar...

[Grozer]

((The following is based on RP in game; the re-statements of NPCs conversations are my summaries/interpretations. Please correct me if necessary.))

As he did often, Ranan paced the grounds of the Thayan Enclave. Kept awake most nights by the swirling inner demons playing in his head, he walked the area lost in thought. Images of recent events filling the mind, something wasn't right. Whispers had reached his ears. Remains were found and Meriss attempted to raise them only to discover they were not of Hrothgar.

Ranan flinched as one of the voices shrilled in his head, "Who would believe they had found remains? Someone is looking... they must have come here! Dwarf failed us... punish him...kill him.. make him pay..."

"ENOUGH!" He yelled in frustration while throwing his hands up. Taking a breath he noticed the guards staring at back. They thought he was losing his mind. The dawn was breaking through and the Sergeant was assuming his post.

"Sergeant, have your men on alert... I think someone may be sneaking around...."

Staring him square in the eyes, the Sergeant stopped the priest mid-sentence. “An assassin was already here… killed two men with a sword as tall as my leg. He took nothing, but said he was looking for friend to lay him to rest.”

With scowl on his face and growl, Ranan dismissively walked away from the Sergeant and found one he could truly trust. Pulling his loyal friend aside, he whispered:

“You must find his remains, search the enclave… find the dwarf, he was supposed to dispose of the body. If he hasn’t, recover it, I have a much better plan.” A wicked grin crossed his face as a new plan began to crystallize. The demons within shrieked in delight, his Lord would be pleased.

With a nod, he watched the trusted one slip into the shadows and disappear.

Now to speak with Sister Tholara, she may know something more.

The man of the shadows makes his way to where he last say the dwarf. He searches the area throughly leaving nothing to chance. He spots dwarf's tracks leading away from him. He tracks the dwarf's heavy foot prints until they blend into the traffic that frequents the road. He struggles to keep the trail but continues on, praying that he doesn't lose the trail.

Come Thursday Oct, 6th at 9:00 am PST(thats pacific to you Brits!) I will login and dedicate the entirety of the day to RPing "The search for Hrothgar" This is not a DM sponsored event. If your looking for power treasure and Uber bad guys, well your out of luck for the treasure at least. I'm sure there will be a few Banites there though... he he.. anyways I digress. This is a mystery/scavenger hunt that will be based on 99% RPing not killing things.

So in summary anyone that wants to help rescue and raise hroth, before the banites do it, show up.

This is all pending any DM telling me no.. then its off. no questions asked. *shrugs* who knows maybe a dm will make an appearance. anyways come have fun RPing with us!

Not that this really makes much differance to anything, but I just wanted to say.... Korfuji is not that big. Its a slightly enlongated katana. Much like Myamoto Musashi's sword which is about 55" as opposed to the regular 42-45" Most of the extra length is in the handle, allowing for wider hand spacing, thus, extra force in the swing. Believe me, I would have taken regular Katana, but the fact that bioware saw it neccessary to NOT let me hold a katana in TWO hands, I opted for the Nodachi. As a Musashi fan, this fit a bit better anyway. Ok.. carry on. ;D

[henny]

Korfuji, Myamoto, Musashi, Nodachi, Katana? I must be getting old, I could have sworn we all spoke english here last week. What's a Myamota Musashi?

[Quadhund/Greenhouse]

//OOC: I might be able to show up at about 12:30pm central for about an hour. After that, I don't know when I'll be back again as I will be gone Thursday night through monday. If I'm lucky, I'll take off a bit early from work on thursday before I leave for the vacation. I guess we'll have to see.

[henny]

In light of the "Star's" scheduling cnflicts, I will get up extra early on thursay.. no guarantee when so all you brits and yanks on the east coast will have to wait for me. What time depends on how my date the night before goes.. um pg-14 thats right, I mean it all depends on how my social gathering with a very nice lady the day before goes. *shakes head, where's big bird?* ~said in a singsong fairy godmother lilt~

[Quadhund/Greenhouse]

//OOC: I can do thursday morning or I could do Tuesday night or Wednesday night ... boy scheduling things are always such hassles. Boy, i say we just leave the F-er dead cause it is too hard to bring his arse back

[Booze Hound]

*cries at the thought of Vind minus Hroth*

this really makes me and Vind sad. and it all happened while I am too busy with school! that's it, I'm dropping out again. ;D

Myamoto Musashi (sketchy spelling) is a famous Japanese dulest. He fought 56 successful duels and retired in a cave where he lived out the rest of his life. During that time, he wrote The Book of Five Rings" He was tall, over six feet, so his sword was made to match him.

[henny]

Daylight crests the hills and brings dawn to the little village of Isinhold, deep in the myth laden land of Cormyr. As light spreads across the land it illuminates a small temple in the village, a temple surrounded by a ring of heroes and legends of the lands. A shaft of light pierces one of the glass windows of the temple, falling across an altar which upon it sits a ordinary ..bucket. As the bucket emerges from the darkness, a low murmuring chant from all around it peaks to a near intolerable level as a small circle of druids emerge from the corners to slowly converge on it. Outside the voices are quite easily heard, and with a sudden blast of light that radiates outward from the temple, the voices are stilled. Slowly the dark spots dissipate from the eyes of all the onlookers and emerges from the temple... two deer. As they animals make a frenzied dash for the woods, Meriss the head druid emerges. He approaches a man who has lead the heroes and legends to this place in support for the fallen. "Manshin, the rebirth was successful. But as you saw. His remains were not in there... I will try again for you, but please, make sure it is him this time." With that Meriss slowly staggers back into the temple for a much needed rest. Looking around the heroes gather in small groups with one persistent question be re asked over and over. "Where is Hrothgar's real body?"

[henny]

An early start, as the sun rises, Louis sets out on his master's orders. "Find the dwarf, recover the body". Setting out north of redmist he finds the tracks intermingling with a heavy volume of others and soon looses sense of the trail...

[henny]

Stopping for a rest near an abandoned shack, Louis shecks for the dwarfs tracks, following what he can find and erasing them as he goes... Two branches of dwarven tracks lead off at a fork in the road. One heavy one light. Remembering that Guldar had passed through recently as well, Louis follows the lighter set, thinking that Marcus liked lighter armour. On to suzail....

[henny]

a nearby bandit camp reveals a scene of devestation.. bodies lie ripped in half everywhere.. examining the wounds.. Louis finds cuts low the ground and powerfully made, like those of the dwarf's axe.. he must be on the right trail.. a little farther north he finds a grassy area that has been covered in frost.. and an impression where it looks like a heavy object lay for some time before crawling away....

[henny]

Continuing north Louis is joined by another ordered by Ranan's command to join.. Marklar.. the archer. Ambushing a group of orcs they take the shaman hostage and torture out of him that he had indeed pursued a dwarf two days past, who escaped only by entering suzail. Slitting the shamans throat and leaving it to the wolves, they continue on to suzail.

[henny]

A long and exausting search of the city, finally lead the two to the very doors of the temple of tymora itself.. daring and brave, they venture into its hallowed halls..


"Marcus" Louis exclaims over the body he finds in the corner.. Raise him priestess.. he demands.. a priestess wanders over. and says.. we have tried.. and failed.. perhaps with some amber we might be more successful... I will return Louis responds and slips out into the night....

[henny]

A whispered rumor... a fright filled plea... the dwarf Guldar and the Holy man Gial both spring into action.. stories of evil affot in suzail .. bring them running...

[henny]

The paladin Gial, and the dwarf Guldar hear of Louis in suzail by a private message from a spying war wizard.. "see what evil he brings!" Springing in to action they hurry to suzail...

Guldar finds the dwarfs body in the temple and hears of the dark ones from he priestess.. bring me amber good dwarf and I will raise your stone brother for you...

[henny]

the heroes set ou from tymora's temple in search of the evil.. little known to them .. evil awaits and is ready.. the animals of the mistwood hide in terror this day!

[henny]

A meeting in the temple of good luck.. ranan,nathelio, louis,marklar, gial, guldar, crom.. many diffrent sides all want the same thing.. the dwarfs soul... who shall succeed first?

[henny]

A sense of urgency has ensnared Cormyr.. flawless amber.. the price for it has raised over 500% in the last few hours.. the call has gone out.. and yet to be answered.. everyone searches for it.. yet it is so hard a find that none have found it yet...

[henny]

After a daring raid, the necromancer and the master rouge slip out wit the body and take it to their darkest of temples for questioning.. now they await the dark cleric who shall raise the soul....

[henny]

: OOC: not sure what happened after this.. the story sort of got a life of its own and left me behind.. anyways if you can fill in the missing pieces please do!

[DM Valkyrie]

The servants of darkness all had gathered around the body. Discussion was held, and a quest determined, to find a piece of flawless amber, that the spirit could be raised and questioned....

And a piece of flawless amber was found, but the servants of darkness, on thier return to their darkened temple, found the door open, and the body gone...their searches revealed only wide muddy footprints to suggest why the door was open.....

Yet the foul odor of the dwarve's rotting corpse still filled the chamber....

[Quadhund/Greenhouse]

OOC: Can someone send me a pm of relevant hrothgar information? Would be helpful to know if im alive or not ;D

[henny]

I will right away quad

[DM Valkyrie]

The search continues...and some have no idea how close they are to finding him .....
