The War Between Slovaria and Islomere!

The party members are all in seperate locations. The closest town is Slovaria. It is highly guarded by the Slovarian Guard. Travelers are welcome to the town. The economy is average with Inns and Shops. Since the war between Slovaria and Islomere has ended recently. Things are somewhat back to normal.

<OvErHanDeD> You just all happen to walk up at the same time and the guards stop you. Asking for Identification.
<OvErHanDeD> Everything checks out as they explain they just don't want any problems from left over islomerians
<OvErHanDeD> They point towards the tavern. Explaining this is a good place to start for newcomers.
<OvErHanDeD> You walk up to a medium sized building with a sign barely hanging from its post with a picture of a wine
glass and a bed on it
<OvErHanDeD> The windows are frosted over from smoke stains
<Tranc> (nods to the guards, putting his fake badge away continuing to the tavern he requested)
<Tranc> knocks on the door before trying to enter the tavern, is it locked?)
<OvErHanDeD> nope
<Tranc> opens the door slowly looking into the room)3" hello, is anyone here?"
<OvErHanDeD> you walk in and see roughly 20 tables in the middle with about four chairs each there is booths all around
hugging the walls
<OvErHanDeD> You find out the reason it was so quiet before you entered was the dancing had stopped and is in
intermission the patrons are just back to talking under there breaths
<OvErHanDeD> The lighting is very dim in the place There is a few placks that have specials on dinner food and lodging
<OvErHanDeD> The tavern bar runs 30 feet long with only one person behind it while the wenches run ragged filling the
patrons drinks and bringing out the food
<OvErHanDeD> now for your Question some drunken Human says " Of clourse dares someone hhlere clome on in
<OvErHanDeD> and falls off his chair at the same time
To bones >: !roll1d8
<bones> OvErHanDeD rolled [1d8] : 2
<OvErHanDeD> As he falls down He bruises his arm slightly...........>

<Juliomartell> The dear half lion looking figure just stands there looking over all that ponderous human on the floor, gruffing a
bit as he makes himself scarce over sitting at a bare table for himself. Once plopped down, he took a look around in silence
just to listen to the nearby chatter that goes within the room.
<Tranc> as the man drops, i change my view to something that will keep my attention and not seem so pointless... off in the
distance i spot the bartender/barkeep. with his new found determination i walk up to barkeep) 3"excuse me sir how much
3is a room for a week?"
<OvErHanDeD> The barkeep says "About 30cp a night for now we have just finished with a major war so business has been
slow
<OvErHanDeD> "
<Juliomartell> His ears flicker under his hood while he sat there listening, apparently silent upon being known. "..."
<OvErHanDeD> the barkeep gazes over at the private fellow for a second then gets back to what he was doing
<OvErHanDeD> Barkeep "Hey you are you staying here at the inn or what"

<Juliomartell> he took a bit of a look back up over at the barkeep and gave a shrug. "Well I can take a 2 hour nap here and
there...depends how much do you charge for 2 hours for one night at a room or corner?"
<OvErHanDeD> "30cp either way you slice it!"
<Juliomartell> "Hmm. Well I can offer a gold piece, what will that get me?"
OvErHanDeD scratches head
<OvErHanDeD> "2hours and an ail!"
<Juliomartell> he nodded. "Well If that's a good deal then very well." going on over and plopping himself down as he placed a
gold piece onto the counter. "one ale please."
<Juliomartell> "and 2 hours of resting.
<OvErHanDeD> "or is that 2nights and an ale"
<OvErHanDeD> "hmm we dont see much gold anymore"
OvErHanDeD Turns around and grabs a big mug and fills to the top with Ale
<OvErHanDeD> "Here ya go! Enjoy the festivities while they last!
<Juliomartell> He gave a nod as he took the ale and just gave it a slow bit of swigging, enjoying the savoring tastes before he
plops it down after and sighs. "...delicious." he chuckled, looking up at the bartender. "Anything happening around here
besides the end of that war?"
<OvErHanDeD> "Nothing much except some small skirmishes here and there!" "Shoulda beenhere a week agao thats when
all problems occured"
<Juliomartell> "Oh well. If you want you can detail them just to pass the time away."
<OvErHanDeD> "Hang on!" "What can I get you!" A 6ft. human with long brown hair comes up to the bar"
<OvErHanDeD> "I'll just have another one of those" as he puts his empty glass on the table
OvErHanDeD Barkeep fills his drink and he turns around and walks away
<Juliomartell> He gave a bit of an on looking glance at the human that sat by him. "...so what's your story?"
<OvErHanDeD> "Just resting and having a drink how about you?"

<Juliomartell> "just minding my own...can't say much..." He took a look away while holding his hood more closely, his seating
adjusting.
<OvErHanDeD> "What are you shy of We all have seen all kinds in here!"
<Juliomartell> "Well I just like to keep to myself thank you very much. It's a habbit." he speaks gruffly.
OvErHanDeD Chuckles
<OvErHanDeD> "Your the one who had interest in what I was doing not the other way around stranger!"
<OvErHanDeD> (in a grinning pleasent tone not threatening)
<Juliomartell> He seemed rather silent before a smirk became upon his hidden features as he turned again. "good point ...
well then I just keep to myself about me while wondering about others."
<OvErHanDeD> so of course i kinda threw everyone in a tavern
<OvErHanDeD> "No problem stranger" "Maybe we meet again sometime"
<OvErHanDeD> "Or talk later"
OvErHanDeD One of the bartresses walks up to you and asks if you want another
<OvErHanDeD> ((ok i made that up sue me lol)
<Juliomartell> He gives a smirk over at the bartress and gave a nod. "Maybe. I wouldn't need too much."
OvErHanDeD She smiles and wonders off
OvErHanDeD !!!!!Suddenly the roofs of the Tavern are ripped off Fire breathing dragons are everywhere
<OvErHanDeD> j/k
<OvErHanDeD> She comes back with a smaller glass and gives to you
<Juliomartell> He nodded and just went along with enjoying his beverage. "Hmm..."
<OvErHanDeD> A dark looking fellow with gray hair mistakenely sits down next you looks like he has been drinking all day
long
<Juliomartell> He only takes a minor silence at the sight as he turned to look the man over. "..." he keeps his silence for a bit
while he took a look back at the barkeep just minding his own for the time being.

OvErHanDeD He doesn't take note that you are not paying attention to him and just starts rambling anyways
<OvErHanDeD> "Ahhh all the dam feeves lately I dont care No i really don't blah blah"
<OvErHanDeD> "You a weird looking fing."
OvErHanDeD Starts luaghing
<OvErHanDeD> "Would you care to drance"
<OvErHanDeD> "Oh ya get his atention I nreed another wron"
<Juliomartell> He just keeps silent while hearing that and gave a look the other way. "... "then just looks back at the person.
"What about those thieves you said?"
<OvErHanDeD> "Hey bartress another one"
<OvErHanDeD> "All the feeves you know"
<Juliomartell> "...don't know any."
<OvErHanDeD> "Oh wait"
<OvErHanDeD> ....pauses like in deep thought
<OvErHanDeD> rolling his eyes
<OvErHanDeD> "I can tell your not from around here are you
<OvErHanDeD> "Yup i knew it"
<Juliomartell> "not really. I travel, I just like to go from place to place."
<OvErHanDeD> "so what you were talking about teeves were you:
<OvErHanDeD> "Oh wait that was me"
<Juliomartell> already he can feel this knight is going off his rocker...
<OvErHanDeD> (no this isnt the knight"
<Juliomartell> this guy*
<OvErHanDeD> Anyhoo let me get back to this story I started about 10 minutes ago with you
OvErHanDeD scratches head
<OvErHanDeD> "Or did I"
<Juliomartell> "you."
<OvErHanDeD> "Oh ya"
<Juliomartell> "you said you know something about thieves in the area."
<OvErHanDeD> "Well they were saying that these..." Ya I know"
<OvErHanDeD> "Im at the best part"
<Juliomartell> "thank god..." he muttered.
<OvErHanDeD> "These feeves or teeves as you call em..Some say they are the left over peoples from Ishcolomere"
<OvErHanDeD> "trying to loot the villages here...Or maybe..my personal thing as they are trying to mix in among us"
<OvErHanDeD> "So you could be one of them for all I know..."
<OvErHanDeD> "Are you one of them?"
<Juliomartell> "You said I wasn't from around here."
<Juliomartell> "And you can't recognize me as one of them"
<Juliomartell> "so no."
<OvErHanDeD> "Ya I kinda figured you were"
<OvErHanDeD> "Anyways.."
<Juliomartell> "I'm sorry but what were you saying again?"
<OvErHanDeD> "They had gotten the head of the statue in the center of town ...I don't believe it myself but itwas gone like
someone chopped it right off"
<Juliomartell> "Hmm..."
<Juliomartell> Ishcolomere you say?"
<OvErHanDeD> "Blah blah" Burp "Did you see the siz of the gords we have here"
<OvErHanDeD> "Ya Islomere thats what I said
<Juliomartell> "Hmm..."
<OvErHanDeD> "how do you take the head of a statue"
<OvErHanDeD> "But the funny thing is thats been here since i wers a yungin"
<Juliomartell> "Simple, either with a spell or a rather strong cleaving weapon meant to cut stone like wood."
<OvErHanDeD> "Ya my thoughts exacly"
Tranc has left the room
<OvErHanDeD> "I just cant imagine those flashy red things for eyes could be worth anything there just ugly"
<bones> Juliomartell rolled [1d20+16] : 17 + 16 = 33.

<OvErHanDeD> You feel that the statue has been around for hundreds of years, indeed it was chopped off with actually a
blunt object, The red flashy things are of great value, and the guy your sitting with is highly drunk!
<Juliomartell> "hmm...."
<OvErHanDeD> You also know now that there is 20 tables in the bar 10 rooms upstairs with only three occupied
<bones> Juliomartell rolled [1d20+16] : 12 + 16 = 28.
<OvErHanDeD> You know that the drunk who is now passed out with his head in his arms at his table was actually not
making up the story about the thieves - they are the ones who took the head of the great statue but its to shady to tell if
the theives are from Islomere
<Juliomartell> "Hmm..." he slowly brings himself on up as he starts to head on out the door. "I have to do some talking..."
OvErHanDeD Where you heading!
<Juliomartell> Where the character so far goes is out on the town to gather information upon whom may have seen sightings of
these so called thieves.
<Juliomartell> a gather information check while using an inspiration point to add +5 to my roll.
<bones> Juliomartell rolled [1d20+20] : 18 + 20 = 38.
<OvErHanDeD> You see a biulding with a leather tapestry hanging outside with a sword and sheild sewn into it
<Juliomartell> The figure didn't say much of it though, giving it a once over and a smirk as he goes over and starts to enter on
into the area with silence in his step each way.
<OvErHanDeD> You get a glimpse of the beheaded statue off in the distance as you walk over to the weaponsmith
<Juliomartell> He only takes pause at the thought and examining it. His eyes skim over at the curiosity of the design as well
as the knocking off of a statues head. "Hmm..." he steps on over to it only to examine how the event happen from just
searching it.
<Juliomartell> ((can help tell or explain details that might help identify the kind of weapon used to do it.))
<bones> Juliomartell rolled [1d20+16] : 6 + 16 = 22.
<OvErHanDeD> It wasn't a sharp weapon as you see the jagged edges on the neck
<OvErHanDeD> theres small stone all over the ground
<OvErHanDeD> you figure it had to be at night sometime
<Juliomartell> "Hmm..."
<OvErHanDeD> You see someone else admiring the healess statue
<OvErHanDeD> headless
<Juliomartell> "quite the curiosity...so not many were around to see the incident..." Then he took a bit of a look over at the
other person with a skimming of his features as well as his posture.
<lordspecineff13> The figure turns, having noticed the other's presence. It appeared to be a tall female with Oriental facial
features, and dark hair. Her figure is covered up in great armor, and she carried a katana at her side. She nods her head
lightly, eyeing the other one cautiously.
<Juliomartell> He just keeps silent where he stands as he looks the female over. "Scuse me...but do you have any
considerable idea upon as who may have actually beheaded this thing with quite the bludgeoning weapon?"
<lordspecineff13> The female warrior shakes her head quickly. "No, but whoever it was, would be a worthy challenge.
Speaking of which, have you heard of the thieves about this area?"
OvErHanDeD The Knight you saw earlier walks past you shaking his head "Here we go again" then takes off into the
distance
<lordspecineff13> The female blinks, looking in the direction of the knight. "Wait, what?"
<Juliomartell> "Yea, people who are shady enough to be considered from a nearby area... I can't say that it's something I'm
familiar with."
<OvErHanDeD> (He just kept going)
<lordspecineff13> "Well, I've not the faintest clue where to find thieves either. And this beheader interests me more."
<Juliomartell> "Well then, I think I may be upon a lead which can bring forth the ones in charge." Turning to the direction of the
weapon smith shop and heading onward over to the entry. "Care to follow?"
OvErHanDeD As you start losing interest in the statue you do notice a bright glaring powder type substance at the base of
the statue
<Juliomartell> He takes pause at the feeling as he turns to take a glance at the substance. "...hello..."
<lordspecineff13> The female warrior grins. "It's better than standing here. And what's that you've found there?"
<Juliomartell> "Not sure..."
<Juliomartell> "I'm asking myself the same question..."
<lordspecineff13> "Try licking it?"
<OvErHanDeD> (Do you lick it?)
<Juliomartell> Hmm
<Juliomartell> ((I just examine it.))
<Juliomartell> ((any knowledge or spellcraft check I can make?))
<OvErHanDeD> I would say both
<Juliomartell> ((We'll go down the knowledge ladder then first.))
<Juliomartell> (there's arcana, religion, or planes to figure the source of what or where the slime would have come from.))
<Juliomartell> ((then there's spellcraft.))
<Juliomartell> first roll is arcana, then the next one is religion, the third one is planes, and the 4th will be plain spellcraft.
<bones> Juliomartell rolled [1d20+16] : 6 + 16 = 22.
<bones> Juliomartell rolled [1d20+16] : 20 + 16 = 36.
<bones> Juliomartell rolled [1d20+16] : 11 + 16 = 27.
<bones> Juliomartell rolled [1d20+16] : 8 + 16 = 24.
<OvErHanDeD> Ok
<OvErHanDeD> Ok there doesnt seem to be any ties to the ancients
<Juliomartell> arcane knowledge roll is 22, religion roll is 36, planes roll is 27, and spellcraft roll is 24
<OvErHanDeD> Very stron religious feelings from it. But there is nothing specific as a God or nothing
<Juliomartell> "Hmm...." SLowly going into a meditative concentration to search the 36 knowledge roll he had to figure a proper
allocation of what the knowledge would be.
<OvErHanDeD> You can tell that this substance isnt from this area
<lordspecineff13> "Figured it out?"
<Juliomartell> "a foreign substance so far...strong religious ties..possibly from a figure back in history that used this kind of
source in the wrong ways..."
