[D&D] Round 7

Sat Apr 19 03:19:46 UTC 2008

Okay, I still need to know WHERE Vander and Drusilla are going to go looking
for the necromancers guild.  Another thing is that Drusilla's bear friend
probably doesn't want to follow the group around without her for an extended
amount of time.  If the ranger is able to take care of it, that might be
okay, but it will just wonder off if she is gone for too long and she will
have to go find it.

Also where do you guys plan on finding salt peter?  Jim suggested you guys
go to the Ungardt mines to find out if they have found any mithril, does
anyone else support this plan?  You will definitely need more of the black
goo if your planning on making any explosives with it, seeing as Nooka has
used up the stuff that you guys had while experimenting with it.

About 5 days have passed at this point.  You find out that a band of knights
and a small elite army was sent from the queen to bolster the cities
defenses.  Apparently L'Roy is still in charge of the city guard and the
knights are mainly just their in case pirates attack.  From talking to a
couple of the guards you guys discover that many of the guards were getting
restless on their shifts so L'Roy decided to have the shifts rotated (which
is why there is a different set of guards at the graveyard now).  So far
they have not gotten too suspicious, but the shift will probably happen
again soon and they will be moved to another part of the city.

Giffal you heard some rumors when you were in the dock district trying to
find out more information about the thieves guild about pirates moving up
along the coast attacking the coastal cities.  This is probably why the
small force was sent to bolster the cities defenses since they do not have
any defense against attacks from the sea right now.

After being in town for a few days, you all become aware of the bleak mood
that everyone is in.  It seems that there is an overwhelming feeling of doom
slowly sweeping over the city.  The weather has also become more depressing,
as the last 5 days have been rather cloudy and it even began raining a
little the last 2 days.  A storm could also help protect against attacks
from the sea, so this could also be considered a blessing if one a storm
does come.

The last night that you guys spent in the crypt, Skiahn awoke to something
scratching around while he was asleep on the roof.  It vanished pretty
quickly before he could get a good look at it, but seemed vaguely humanoid
in size.  In the morning he searched for tracks and found some strange
tracks that seemed to look like large rodents ...
