The characters start in the ‘The spoon’ an Inn.
It is Gwydion’s birthday and they are supposed to be celebrating it.
However since at the moment he has been left sitting on his own it
doesn’t seem so.
Gwydion’s hears a castle servant gossiping with some other people at
another table. He hears his masters name mentioned and turns to hear the fact that Luicen the mage, has just be killed.
His master is also his foster father and the most important person
in his life therefore he is slightly upset and worried.
Just a bit now...
He spends some time trying to get the servant to talk to him but
the servant is having too much attention from his tale to be bothered
talking to the stranger.
When the tale is over (an Gwydion says who he is)
the servant finally answers a question and directs him to the castle.
Gwydion promptly leaves the inn. Arty puzzeled at why he just ran off gets up and follows.
Reharl and Lassic see Gwydion run off and walk over to talk to the servant who ignores them as well, and merely says Gwydions gone to the castle. They head for it.
Reharl stopps and talks to carraig, a friend of their who happens to mention that the king has been poisoned and the heir kipnapped. The guards are searching for news.
He seems slightly shocked about the whole thing.
Arriabbiato ignores the fact that his friends have ran off and stays at the inn and starts chatting up the (human) bartender Sionna. Reharl had already got her name.
When Gwydion and Arty on the way to the castle notice a lot of activity
in the city, something’s up.
When they reach the castle, they get in strangely easily. They hear from a boy servant that Gwydions foster father is indeed dead. But the boy doesn’t know where the body was taken. He is directed to the council chambers and the
scared boy runs away.
They go in and talk to a noble called lord EL. He questions them but also answers some of their questions. They now know for certain that the king was poisoned, the heir kidnapped, the were nurses killed and that Lucien (Gwydion’s master) was trying to prevent the kipnappers escape.
They find out that his body is in the sanatarium and head up there.
They go to the hall and a guard called Regdara brings them to the body.
Reharl and Lassic also reach the castle they walk over and startle a servant who cuts himself on broken crockery.
He points in the direction of the council chambers. Lassic and Reharl go in that direction and promptly get lost.
Lassic is following Reharl and Reharl looks like he knows where he is going.
The others reach the santarium, there they meet 2 leeches and Illyana ‘The light of knowledge’.
Gwydion is directed to the body after explaining who he is.
He asks how long his master is dead (2 1/2), finds out that the most high ranking cleric is dead and no other one can be trusted into the castle.
He also is given his masters belongings, he finds his masters spell book
and scrying ball is missing. His masters amulate seems ok
Despite questioning the missing items cant be located.
He is asked why was his master at the castle?
Arriabbiato leaves the inn.
Lassic and Reharl spot a guard at a door, they walk over to ask
where they are. When the guard sees them he blows a whistle.
The guard looks very scared and starts asking when where their friend is?
Who are they?
What business have they? All the time he is glancing behind him.
They talk to him and say they are lost and looking for a friend a mage.
The guard asks How did they get in?
The say the just walked in past two guards.
The Guards says "You think we just let people walk in and out?"
Reharl then says their friend is a necromancer.
Lassic amazingly bluffs their way out of it.
And i mean amazingly...
The guard seems to believe them. Five other guards turn up. They guard at the door talks to them, one of those who arrives stays at the door and the rest escort them to the council chambers.
They talk to a lord, who ignores them but directs a servant to fill them in. They find out the others have gone to the santarium.
When the arrive they walk over to the other (the guards talk to regdara).
Arb gets to the castle to female guards are guarding it.
They cry halt and ask his business.
The gnome mage trys to cast charm person on them.
It effects the one on the left. The other one starts approaching
him while he trys to figure out how to get the other one let him in.
He gets kicked out and doesnt bother looking for any other way in.
Insted he returns to the spoon.
Gwydion asks for materials for scrying, illyandara kindly brings
them to them. Gwydion scrys a few times and fails till the last time.
In the last one he sees..
"His foster father master is talking to a tall blond man in a richly dressed room. He can not hear any words. They are looking at a scroll."
They tell Illyandara who tells them that is the king and he had been curious about a scroll and must have brought in Lucien as an expert to check it out.
Gwydion asks for wine to prevent a headache, he is refused by the leechs who seem to have something against it.
They do however give him a herb drink which tastes horrible but works.
The leeches refuse tell Gwydion what is in it.
They seem amused that he thought they would explain their craft to an
outsider. Arbio is now talking up a female dwarf.
G2 "Box of surprises"
An odd tale, pink rabbits are involved.
The main points are they found a map that leads them (possibly) to the group that killed lucien.
The pink rabbit tale is a vision the gnome had before
he took a hangover cure :)
"You are eating a carrot and it bits you, you drop it and turn..
There you see some pink rabbits..
You find yourself strangely attracted to one of them.. and it goes
from there..." ^_^
The rest of the group when they arrive back at the inn and our gnome
friend wakes up (and finds himself under a bucket/seat) hear him shout..
"take it like the rabbit you are"
The rest of the people in the inn are now wondering about him.
Later he also notices he is missing his backpack which contains
his spellbook.
Other things happen but they are not as funny. ^_^
Lassic met kara.
They got some maps and heard some news.
Highly amuising game i think.
Lassic got lucky.
Arty got locked up for a while and found out that all the
royal guards now hate the group.
The mage took an interesting oath
"I will take up where you (his master) left off by my blood and name"
He has no really idea what his master was previously doing. All he knows is that his master tried to stop the kipnappers escaping.
It was found out that the kipnappers have headed out the
west gate
They left the castle and are on the trail.
