| The Lady Barbara d'Ashe |
chris107: Just watching the Mamoa, Conan. He's very Hakeem
Sandor Sunneson: Evening Simon, Ingrid is cheeky
Smon: Momoa is quite Hakeem
Smon: GM: Malenn is looking quiet and thoughtful this morning...
Smon: GM: Malenn turns to her husband looking a little nervous.
Smon: "Hakeem, I have been thinking..." (she rarely says 'Hakeem', normally 'my love' or 'beloved')
Smon: Malenn: "This city, Ahyf. There is much evil, but also much good, if well hidden. I can feel it..."
chris107: "Your wisdom is rarely wrong my love."
Smon: She looks out the dining hall window, over the cobbled streets and down towards the distant harbour where sea-birds wheel in the morning air.
Smon: "Thank you." Malenn flashes a grateful smile.
Sandor Sunneson: OOC: Yes Malenn, it;s called AD&D
chris107: Hakeem listens to his wife most carfully
Sandor Sunneson: S: Do you feel at home here Malenn? Thank you for the encouraging words
Smon: Malenn turns to Sandor, and nods."I feel that this is a place where we could truly do good. Do you see that great Bastion, out by the harbour wall? The Serjeant tells me it is abandoned. It could be a training hall for the Knights of Mitra, replacing the one we have lost, now so long ago."
chris107: (Does the sending indicate if Sarene or Shieldbiter are with Alkarzad?)
Smon: "I am - still - a Paladin of Mitra."
Sandor Sunneson: S: For the first time I prayed to Ullr last night, asking him for a sign
Smon: (no, that was 25 words!)
chris107: Hakeem nods, smiling. "Yoi are indeed my beloved!"
Smon: Malenn turns back to Hakeem, laying a fair but strong hand on his, smiling.
chris107: "The Lions of Mitra would be most welcome."
Smon: "I feel alive here, my love. For the first time in a while, truly alive. Nerra..."
Smon: Here Malenn frowns.
Smon: "Nerra is a ghost. A dead city. I could feel myself becoming ghostly there, too. A pawn in the hands of others... Here, I am alive again."
Smon: Then she giggles gently. "And it is only a day to Thusia by horse!"
chris107: "Then here we will stay, with Prince Sandor's leave? I must secure the Lighthouse of St. Ulther but we can build a home here. In Port Sandor!"
Sandor Sunneson: It would be an honour to have you here,
Smon: "What is it you need from the Lighthouse, beloved? The war-galley plans Lord Bronze spoke of? Oriax's grimoires?" She shudders at the thought of those lascivious tomes.
chris107: "How will we bring Mitra'schosen here?"
Sandor Sunneson: There are plenty of large houses that would make a wonderful home
chris107: (Now the 1982 Conan soundtrack )
Smon: Malenn smiles warmly at Sandor. "I thank you, good Prince. I hope you find your happiness, as I have. If Hakeem agrees, I would be honoured to live here."
chris107: "Aye, that and we must not let those foul books and mirror fall into the hands of the Black Sun."
Smon: She turns to Hakeem - you notice the Serjeant coming in.
chris107: "If you are happy and the Prince willing. So be it!"
Smon: Now he's getting paid again, he's presumably back on duty.
Sandor Sunneson: S: I know I have suggested previously that we rebuild Trade as a new city, I had thought that rather than do that, we build up Ahyf instead
chris107: Maglor smiles at him.
chris107: M - "Sergeant?"
Smon: Malenn nods to Sandor, then looks at Hakeem. "I will seek for Mitra's Chosen among the humble folk of the city - including those newly freed. And in time, more will come..."
chris107: "They will flock to your banner my love!"
chris107: "And be a powerful force for your city, Sandor!"
Smon: Serjeant Hendryk: "Good morning, milords. Couple missing persons. One is nothing - the other more serious..." he looks apologetically at Beverly, who pales slightly.
Smon: Beverly: "One of the coin girls?"
chris107: M - "Go on..."
Smon: Hendryk nods: "Yup. One of the new ones, Sue - Hognun said he'd only just given her a job, after her master the Traitor Dragon skipped town?"
Smon: Beverly nods. "Yes."
Sandor Sunneson: Would be good investigating the black market
chris107: M "And the other?"
Sandor Sunneson: S: Probably the type of place that is currently inhabitaed by undesirables
Smon: Hendryk: "Well, apparently she wandered off a bit, get away from a couple sailors she didn't like the look of... rookie mistake. Anyway, next thing, there was a scream, Atesia and Moondew say they saw a couple grey figures dragging her into the sewer outflow."
chris107: M - "Can you take us there?"
Sandor Sunneson: S: Anyone fancy a fight today? Sure it would be more exciting than this politics bullshit
chris107: "It could be Goblins, it could be more sinister."
chris107: M - "It is your city my lord."
Sandor Sunneson: S: We shall go and investigate after breakfast
chris107: Hakeem just grins at the word FIGHT
Smon: Hendryk turns to Hakeem, bows slightly. "The other is a few days old - we missed it, what with the Liberation... Rolth's lover, the Lady Barbara D'Ashe. She was bathing when the mob reached Rolth's villa, set upon her. She fled into the sewers - probably got her throat cut by Goblins."
Smon: Hendryk: "Sue, though - Atesia was sure it were too big to be Goblins that took her." He shrugs.
chris107: H - "Then lets finish up breakfast and go take a look."
Sandor Sunneson: S: Can somebody send Thuarar a message 'Are Hakeem and Sarene also with the Ossary under the flag of the black sun question mark
Smon: Hendryk strokes his short well-oiled beard. "Very good, Milord. Do you require my assistance?"
chris107: M will wait until the sergeant leaves before he tells his story from the previous night (If he hasn't before)
Smon: GM: H dismisses the Serjeant and M recounts the night's events?
Sandor Sunneson: You are more than welcome to join us, see you back here in 30 mins?
chris107: M - "Thank you sergeant. Be ready if we call."
Sandor Sunneson: errr. H: I'm in charge here, capiche ??
Smon: Hendryk stifles a smirk at Sandor's correction of Hakeem.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will burst out laughing too
chris107: M whispers in his Lordships ear "We know the sergeant to be corrpt my lord, do we want him deep in our council?"
Smon: Malenn nods gravely to Hendryk. "Yes. As your new master Prince Sandor commands. Return here with some men in half an hour."
Sandor Sunneson: S: It's important we stay together team, and we build as a team
chris107: Hakeem shrugs.
Smon: Hendryk clicks his heels, bows and withdraws.
chris107: Maglor bows "As you wish my lord."
Sandor Sunneson: S: After yesterday, do we all go into the sewer or 1 of us stays ehere?
chris107: H to S "You'll choose a lot of bad ones to have on your side before you get it right. Hope it doesn't kill you."
Smon: Beverly pushes away the remains of her sausage. "I only knew Sue briefly... Poor thing. I don't think she was cut out to be a coin girl."
chris107: M - "We will search for her. All your girls are valuable to us."
chris107: H to S "You're in charge, remember?"
Smon: Beverly nods gratefully to Maglor. "Thank you. They're valuable to me too - even Atesia." she grins.
chris107: "I just do as I'm told."
Sandor Sunneson: S: I was going to get him and one soldier to come along, just to see how he does, He could be one that if he is spoken to correctly he maybe of use to us.
Sandor Sunneson: S: Glad you're listening big man!
Smon: Malenn: "Well. Shall I hold the fort, see about ordering those gongs, and the crossbows for our new levy?"
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: S: Maglor observed something interesting yesterday too
Sandor Sunneson: S: Maglor please recount last nights events
chris107: "My darling you are priceless!"
Smon: Malenn grins and gives Hakeem a kiss.
chris107: Maglor tells of what he saw and heard betwixt the Demonbrood and Atesia.
Smon: She definitely seems more lively away from Nerathi politics!
chris107: (Don't we all?)
Smon:
Smon: Does Maglor talk w Fr Camus, Beverly & Kogor present?
chris107: Hakeem is worried about his friend Thuruar however.
chris107: He does. He has to trust those he is working with and holds both Camus and Beverly in confidence
Smon: Camus: "A demonbrood?! In our fair city?!"
Sandor Sunneson: At the moment they are in the circle of trust. I know Simon that you plan to DM
Sandor Sunneson: change that as our DM
chris107: H to Sandor. "We could use Thuruar here. And he will be in danger so close to the Black Sun forces. He was with us at the closing of the gate afterall."
Smon: Beverly sighs, shakes her head as she reaches for a Ralluan cigarrette. "Vukas is a little ...enthusiastic... but he never causes trouble."
Sandor Sunneson: With the coming up of a war against the Ossary/Black Sun looking likely, whose side would he be on Bev?
Smon: >> I know Simon that you plan to DM Sandor Sunneson: change that as our DM<< I don't think you do know that.
chris107: M - "Vukas is planning to lighten our treasury at least and perhaps worse. We should nip this evil in the bud before it infects the city further."
Sandor Sunneson:
Smon: Maglor is from Anatal, he can roll INT+prof History DC 10
chris107 rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 20, (+4) = 24
Sandor Sunneson: high roll please Chris
chris107: Maglor is clever
Sandor Sunneson:
Sandor Sunneson: !!!
Smon: >>With the coming up of a war against the Ossary/Black Sun looking likely, whose side would he be on Bev?<< Bev looks to Sandor. "His own side. The winning side."
Sandor Sunneson: S looks forward to a history lesson from Maglor!
Smon: GM: OK, Maglor knows all about the several Skandik assaults on the Temple of the Lady of Wisdom, the repeated uncanny disasters that befell their armies and fleets.
Smon: The temple of the Lady of Wisdom is dedicated to Athena in her aspect as the goddess of knowledge. For over a thousand years (since ca 3380 BCCC) it has stood as a center for learning. When Zothay fell a century ago, Skandik longships soon attempted to raid but were destroyed in a sudden storm. Two more raids in the next twenty years met a similar fate. An army marching from Zothay was stricken by plague and arrived at the temple with only two out of every ten men able to walk. The temple made peace with Ossary and promised not to foment rebellion if left in peace. Today Vanir is the head priest and, while sympathetic to the ideas and ideals of Kritas and Perena of Zothay, is not willing to join them as it would break the peace treaty. The stone owls in the temple animate if the clerics are attacked. The grapes grown in the area are blessed by the goddess herself: unlike other wines, the ones produced here induce calm introspection instead of rowdy revelry.
chris107: (Odd that they would risk harbouring there then?)
chris107: Thank you.
Smon: Maglor knows that the Temple is 50 miles from Zothay.
chris107: Ah
Sandor Sunneson: S: We need to find out if Sarene and SB are there under the black sun flag, and how many ships in fleet are berthed there
chris107: M - A fire in the harbour with so many ships...."
Smon: Bottom right on this map, temple 3913 - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv6_iMeif4jGjS0YQq5YieivJH5A2PcdVXzIkHAiNsQBAO4QQiu-T58vXiP3LuooVthYvDRH2IH33MIiIgXbp8N2sy1-oH6govs8hqSDvA-F_QdyhG4QbI9V8LvtsHc5PlxtgeGysL7k4/s1600/Screenshot+2015-12-23+at+17.25.29+-+Edited.png
Smon: M also knows Skandik ships don't need to ride at anchor, they can be pushed up onto any beach.
Sandor Sunneson: That'c cause M is clever, be like M!
chris107: Hakeem remebers his last visit to see Thuruar..
chris107:
chris107: Not like H & S!
Smon: The Temple has a great view of the eastern sea approach to Zothay but is not within the domnion.
chris107: M "That would suggest the whole north could be in league withKing Alkazad. If so this is a sudden change indeed. Perhaps a reaction to recent news from Hara?"
Smon: Re Thuruar, he is Arch Priest of the temple and safe while there, the Skandiks definitely don't bother the Temple since losing 3 fleets.
Sandor Sunneson: Camus can you send a message to Thuarar asking if SB and Sarene are allied under the black sun flag and how many ships there are?
Smon: M knows Zothay had a Skandik governor, Kritas the Red, but there were rumours he was suddenly recalled to Ossary 2-3 months ago.
Smon: /roll d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 4, (+4) = 8
Smon: Camusm fails INT check. "I'm sorry, I don't recall meeting him ...?"
chris107: H "We will have enough time to worry about the bloody fleet. Let's clean up Prince Sandor's back yard first."
Smon: Kogor chuckles, rising. "Well, you seem to have matters well in hand here Hakeem, friends. I'm heading back home before someone burns the place down! Got some hobgoblin trouble down in Bratanis..."
chris107: H is very proud of his wife right now
chris107: H "Kogor, did my aunt give you any tips?"
chris107: "And stay safe my dwarven friend. Call if you need my help."
Smon: Malenn is still holding Hakeem's hand. Now she turns to Camus. "Father, I will also need your assistance. I need records of what supplies we do have, and what folks are in good standing with your church..."
Smon: Kogor grins at Hakeem. "More'n tips, friend! Powder!"
chris107:
Smon: He produces a switch of cloth wrap filled with orange dust.
chris107: "Remember Hakeem is a good name for a boy!"
Smon: "Yon Nefeti swears it'll get Opa up the duff 'fore the rains come!"
Smon: Kogor grins broadly. "Aye, brother! It is!"
chris107: "Fine news. Happy hunting!"
Smon: He strides forward and gives Hakeem a manly hug/backslap.
Smon: Kogor bids you all farewell, winks to Beverly, and strides out humming a happy tune.
chris107: "A good man that. Met him when I first came down from the hills."
Smon: Beverly looks after the dwarf, absently strokes the small K brand on her left thigh.
Smon: Malenn: "Aye, husband. We were there! Beverly and me." She smiles. "It seems so long ago."
chris107: "You know I don't agree with slavery, Beverly? And here we are doing something positive about it."
chris107: (Hakeem remembers Malenn rolling a 20!)
Smon: OOC recently reread episide 1 where Hakeem comes down from the hills and shags a certain blonde haired barmaid ...and never shags anyone else.
Smon: Yup!
chris107: (When you have the best....)
chris107: "Go get your sword oh mighty prince. We got some heads to chop."
Smon: (Yup!) Beverly looks to Hakeem eyes closed slightly, nods. "Where I come from it's been forbidden for centuries. Only on primitive worlds..."
Smon: "...is it still seen."
chris107: H nods and smiles at her warmly
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will get dolled up
chris107: H and M make their preperations. M donning a lone ranger style mask.
Smon: Beverly's eyes narrow: "You know I saw you kill that Orc? I asked you for help, that day."
chris107: (Can't be recognised if he's going to hold the office of spy master)
Smon: Her tone is a little cold.
chris107: "I remember."
chris107: "I was young and had just done a lot of bleeding. There were several more Orcs."
Smon: "I guess you were too wounded to help us. Then Aldo bought me... then Kogor bought me... then Ahyf and the docks."
chris107: "We both would not likely be here today if I had done more."
chris107: "But I am sorry ."
chris107: "And we will all try to make it up to you."
Smon: Beverly nods. "Of course. I meant no disrespect... What matters is you're here now, finally, sorting things out."
Smon: Malenn looks to her husband, then to Bev.
Smon: Malenn: "Beverly.... There will never be slavery here, ever again. We're going to stay in Ahyf and make things right."
chris107: "We were all here at the beggining. We will all be here to see how it ends."
chris107: Hakeem hugs his wife.
Smon: Beverly nods, looking very moved. She reaches out and takes Malenn's hand.
Smon: Malenn hugs H back.
Smon: Then after a long moment stands, teary-eyed. "Well... let's get to work!"
Smon: brb beer
chris107: "Lead on Prince Sandor!"
Smon: GM: What's the plan? Are you collecting Hendryk & a redshirt?
Smon: Where are you going?
chris107: Sandor is in charge.
chris107: It's his city after all.
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, Hendyrk and a redshirt and into the sewage system via the outlet we go
chris107: M looking mysterious with his hood up and mask on.
Sandor Sunneson: Hakeem, you see something suspicious, you rage!
Smon: GM: Hendryk returns after 30 minutes as ordered, Sandor chooses a likely looking lad from the Watchmen and you head for the docks with Sandor, Hakeem & Maglor.
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: OOC: The watchman could jump up a level if he survives
Smon: Hendryk: "Keep a sharp eye out, Watchman Jonas. Could be Goblins - or worse!"
Smon: Jonas gulps.
chris107: Maglor has a nagging suspision that Hendryk is leading us into a trap so will be most watchful PP20)
Smon: Down at the docks, looks like all the coin girls are sleeping sweet dreams, but a stout fishwife looks up from gutting red halibuts to direct you to the outflow gate.
Smon: Just west of the docks. The stench is amazing!

Smon: M doesn't see anyone particularly suspicious. A bleary eyed half-elf coin girl - Moondew - is just leaving the Airshark Inn, starting the day's work.
Sandor Sunneson: She looks tired
Sandor Sunneson: Hope that doesn't impact her efficiancy!
Smon: Hendryk: "Get down there and open that grate, Watchman Jonas."
Smon: Hendryk chortles at Sandor's quip.
chris107: "Please, allow me." Says M
Smon: "Very droll, milord. See those pointy ears? Half-elf. Barely needs sleep!"
chris107: He will scoot down to the gate alert for any traps.
chris107: M will rmember Hendryk's quip.

Smon: Maglor doesn't see anything unusual, but it's clear the welded-shut rusty chain holding grate shut was burst, probably from the inside, with considerable strength.
Smon: Probably not by goblins.
Sandor Sunneson: Chris, your roles are 20,13,9, please roll up, not down!!!
chris107: Is the break rusted over or fresh looking?
Sandor Sunneson:

Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will eye his group looking at how they are coping, especially Jonas and Hendryk
chris107: Then pushes at the gate and enters, relying on his dark vision.
Smon: Just the gurgling of the fetid waters... Then Hakeem with 18 Passive Survival notices the foot(?) print at water's edge.
Smon: Manlike, bare, but with elongated, talon-like toes.
Smon: The guards are watching with interest from above.
Smon: The gate is stiff, but opens at M's push.
chris107: "Your Demonbrood pal?"
Sandor Sunneson: S: Looks like it
Sandor Sunneson: S: Is it fairly fresh?

Smon: Notice anything Maglor?
chris107: Nice picture
chris107: Maglor wonders if he does?
Smon: GM: Narrow dry areas of the curved tunnel run on either side of the central sewer stream - at this time of year the 'water' level is low.
Smon: Manlike, bare, but with elongated, talon-like toes.
chris107: Ah!
chris107: Sorry I'm a bit dim sometimes
chris107: M sticks to the left hand dry side.
Smon: That's ok, Maglor is smart
chris107: Good job!
Smon: A short distance down, Maglor sees a waterfall - sewage-fall - splashing out from a wide pipe near the top of the east wall ahead, splashing down into the main sewer.
Smon: Looks like about a 3' wide pipe, 6'-9' above floor level.
chris107: He tries to make out anything lurking or hiding behind the water flow.
Smon: The sewer-fall is about 60' south from the outflow grate.

Smon: Looks like there are several dry archways past the bridge, 2 on W side, 1 on E.
Smon: yup

chris107: (In future can we assume if M is scouting it will be at half speed?)
chris107: M freezes
Smon: (yes) He just has time to press himself to the west wall before it can spot him.
chris107: (thanks) M looks closely at the filthy figure.
chris107: Trying to identify it.
Smon: It is bald, tall if not for the hunch, manlike, with red eyes that seem to glow with evil.
Smon: A foul grave stench emanates from it as it chews idly on a rat's hindquarters.

Smon: Maglor manages not to throw up...
Smon: The creature glances left at the bridge, frowns slightly, then turns right (south), throwing the rat's arse into the sewer flow.
chris107: Towards the gate? Between M and his friends?
Smon: "Better go make the deal..." it mutters to itself as it moves away at a good pace, deeper into the sewers.
Smon: no south
chris107: Ah, my map is upside down then
chris107: He waits for it to pass from sight then creeps back to get his friends.
Smon: You entered a pipe on the extreme north edge of town where it flows into the sea.
chris107: Cool, got it now, altered my map
Sandor Sunneson: Well done Maglor, ok folks, got a chance of taking them by surprise here.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will say
chris107: Does it head past the archways?
Sandor Sunneson: S: We all ready?
Smon: The creature moves away past several arches in the west wall then where the sewer turns right/east about 60' or so away it passes out of sight.

Smon: Maglor finds a hidden catch of the secret door opening sort. :
Smon:
chris107: M creeps up to it and inspects it
chris107: He listens first for sounds beyond and inspects the mechanism for traps
Smon: Looks like you flip catch and push door in.
Smon: Roll percep
chris107 rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 5, (+10) = 15
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 6,
Smon: don't see any traps or hear anything
chris107: He silently gestures how it's opened and slips back into the shadows
Sandor Sunneson: sorry,
chris107: Hakeem offers Sandor the honours.
Sandor Sunneson: Head towards door
Sandor Sunneson: Ready to rage
chris107: Hakeem at his shoulder, Maglor lurking to the side against the wall
chris107: Hakeem rages.
chris107: (Got to love unlimited Rages )
Smon: (we can assume you rage every 10 r)
Smon: (unless asleep)
Sandor Sunneson: Apush in door
chris107: (Cool)
Smon: Bill suggests this is why Hakeem so grouchy lately
Smon: The door opens...
chris107: hehe
Smon: You see a landing and a short flight of stone steps leading up. Soft golden light comes from down the steps.
chris107: (I wonder how Daddy would feel if I stole all his wages at the end of the month without asking?)
Smon: At the top of the steps iron gates stand open, and beyond is a great vaulted chamber.
chris107: Broad enough for two?
Smon: You should be roughly underneath the Town Hall, BTW.
Smon: yup
chris107: Cripes!
Smon: Maglor's sensitive ears pick up soft conversation.
chris107: Hakem moves forward, the Sword of Bondorr ignites.
Smon: Hakeem is first up the stairs, through the open gates and into a great collonnaded market hall.
Smon: Here and there cowled and cloaked figures, mostly human dwarf gnome & goblin, are in conversation.
chris107: Subteranian?
Smon: yup
Smon: Columns support the vaulted ceiling overhead.
chris107: "The Black Market!"
Smon: Round the nearest column a rusty iron staircase winds up to a platform near the ceiling.
chris107: How high?
Smon: Just west of it, about 20' from Hakeem, is a 10' high wooden raised platform on which stands a goblin sentry armed with bow, looking down at Hakeem.
Smon: At least 30' - the hillock of the town hall is about 150' so plenty of space underneath.
chris107: thanks
Smon: There are vendor tents along the walls.
chris107: Can we see what's on the platform?
Sandor Sunneson: Guess they are empty (no vendors)??
Smon: (no, way too high) In the centre of the Black Market is a slave pen and sales block.
Smon: No you see several occupied.
Smon: A pasty pale grey dwarf is buying rat on a stick from a Goblin vendor.
Smon: Just south of the slave pen is a largem brightly lit tent with sign - "The Cut Purse - C'mon In!"
Smon: Maglor joins Hakeem.
chris107: "That's where we're going!"
Sandor Sunneson: Well it does say Come in!
chris107: Maglor slips off into the crowd trusting to his cloak and cowl.
Smon: Maglor sees the clothed ghoul he saw earlier at the slave pens & block, talking with another ghoul, this one in tall hat & long coat.
chris107: Hakeem strides bo;dly towards the Cut Purse
chris107: M shadows him from among the crowd.
Smon: The slave pens appear empty, but kneeling on the slave block in a display stance is a beautiful naked blonde woman, eyes downcast, collared and chained.
Smon: A sign round her neck says "Babs d'Ashe - Noble - 500gp ONO"
chris107: (Does M recognise her?)
Smon: her face is unfamiliar
Smon: she has a *great* pic though for us bosom fans
chris107: (The slavers woman)
chris107: (Poetic justice)
chris107: hehe
Sandor Sunneson: lol

Smon: Dobricar: "Yeah, reckon you'll be doin' a lot more nabbin' coin girls now... 50 gold?"
Smon: "50?! Cut me own throat?!"
