+ | =====The Beginning===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM : **{What I am going to give you is the start up of the story line. Since Phil has no character yet, nothing of any real importance | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====The Insurance Company===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The three of you walk in to the offices of the company. As you have seen it many times before, it still seems dull to you all. As the small reception area takes up most of the space that you can see, the secretary, Miss Smith, as always, is behind a desk writing some kind of notes. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Mr. Jones :** [South Western drawl (( Matt does not bother typing pronunciation.)) ] Thank you Miss Smith. I will get to the point quickly. I have need of you skills to find some missing people. More to the point, almost a missing town. The company has insured many people in the town University, North Georgia. From the reports no one knows where they have gone. Any questions asks John Jones, looking at you in turn. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** A tall thin man lurking in the corner of the room, his hands caressing a red bound tome in a disturbing way comments dryly in his London accent ((Peter tends to over exaggerate pronunciation with his typing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **And what would der name o' dis place be? ((This character is inspired by CMOT Dibbler, See Terry Pratchett, writer)){assuming its not Hobb's End ((See the video - In the Mouth of Madness, starring Sam Neil)) }{as only 3 characters are present, I assume | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** John Jones stern face looks at Trevor with disgust. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Mr. Jones :** I have already said what the name of the town is called, Trevor. Its name is called University. God knows why. There is no places of research there. I can give you all a map of the town is you wish, with prominent places to visit. The main area outside the town is farms grow alfalfa, wheat and other vegetables. {I will give you of list of places in the town you can visit later on} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[swapping his monocle] Nah look 'ere guv, t' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **John Jones :** why, thank you too much, Trevor. I hope you will be able to accomplish this job without delay. By the way, It's you I find hard to understand, Trevor. [looking at the other two people] And will you accept this task for the company? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [looks up] Oh yes, I'm interested, but I' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **John Jones :** Thank you for accepting Xenobia, I am eternally grateful & | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** {I can give you a map of the town if you want.} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Mr. Jones searches through his desk, which has piles of paper all over. After a minute, you see him find what he was looking | ||
+ | |||
+ | **John Jones :** Here you go Xenobia. {I can give you the map when we next meet **[9]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Well tis obvious your profound speaking style has totally struck dumb {insert Phil's character' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Mr Jones :** Very well. I have for you and your companions, railway tickets for you to get to Georgia. For there it will be coach to the town. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Mr Jones sifts through his desk once again, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Mr Jones :** If there is nothing else, I hope you have a successful trip. I look forward in seeing you all soon. [Mr Jones opens the office door] Good day to you all. {ok guys, are you going to do any preparation | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DL : **Xenobia tries to find out any information she can about University, and the names of the people who have disappeared [asks Jones] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[goes to visit Doreen] [knocks on door] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **[opens door]An whit d'yew be wantin'? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Nah lissen 'ere mush, Day were gonna pay us after day won at the ' | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Well, funny 'ow life is i'nt it? I just come for a bit o' | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====The Town of University===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You get upon the morning train, to leave to University. What you know about the place you could hold in your hand. You settle into your 1 st class cabins and wait, passing the time by talking to one another {blah, blah. blah}. Your team has swelled to 5 people, Xenobia, her brother, Trevor, Doreen and a mysterious looking chap who wear hunting leathers | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The sad wails of the mourners float through the town and all but drown out the music made by a group of young boys and girls who pluck stringed musical instruments as they follow the grief sickened | ||
+ | |||
+ | [Xenobia walks up to the priest and taps him on the shoulder. ] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Excuse me, Vicar, I hope this isn't a bad time, but could I ask you a few questions? I'm Mrs Main-Waring, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** I don't suppose they have any decent scotch | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Then you can book us into the hotel. My luggage is over there. [She gestures to the pile of bags][Torquil grumbles, but goes and picks up the bags and leaves. ] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[makes a silent assessment of visible | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **Tis a wee bit on'a spooky side, taint it luv? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Nah don't you worry 'bout nuffin Dor, I been 'n worse situations and come owt laughin' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[addressing vicar] Yeah mush, whatsa funeral | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **[gestures violently to Trevor to rejoin her] How can ye be so cruel? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Its a gift. Lissen 'ere I don't wish to ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **& | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [in an aside to Trevor] You shouldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [to Vicar] Mr Trevor seems to think that my question was rude, but you see I have an inquiring mind, and I'm very direct. I hope I haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You look upon this priest and start a conversation | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Fr Abane :** The ceremony you witnessed was for a boy of twelve, a lad loved by all. We had no body to bury, and now we have only memories. In University, if someone is missing for more than 60 days, his memory is buried to put the family at peace. [the priest trembles and rubs his hands together. Visibly pale, he looks at you and offers a weak smile]. The boy we just laid to rest was the 12th victim this month. I would have liked to hold out hope that the youngster would have return, but I Could not put off the ceremony any longer. You see, the people here are a superstitious lot. They believe that if the dead are not buried within two months, their spirits are forever cast into hell, where all the forsaken and forgotten stay for eternity. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **Victim of what, Father? What has been happening here? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Fr Abane :** If I knew who was responsible, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [to Fr Abane] And the police can do nothing? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Fr Abane :** [sigh] Even some of the police have gone missing, came into town saying how they were going to find the fiend[s] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** {When you get your map [some have got it] you will see a buildings with numbers. } | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** {Here is the KEY! 1. Baggs farm 2. The Cemetery 3. Wepps Inn 4. Adventures Rest [Inn] 5. Horse ranch 6. Cattle ranch 7. Temple to the wind God 8. Alfalfa Farm 9. Church 10. Parsed Lips [pub] 11. Yearning | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **I would like to ask you if you know anyone | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Yehr, an as much as I don' like t'mix with the local constabulary, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Fr Abane :** Where you can mix with the local, well at one of the inns I suppose? Some of them can be pretty rough. You might have to watch yourself. [looks at Xenobia] Mr and Mrs Cobbler are still here [points to a couple by the grave] I don't think they will be able to help you much. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **[introduces herself] Mr and Mrs Cobbler, my condolences on this sad occasion. I lost my dear husband, so I can empathise | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You see Trevor leave, walking off towards the nearest inn. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Mr Cobbler gives Xenobia a hard cool chilling | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Mrs Cobbler :** Thank you Miss, but there not much to say. [cry, cry]. One day my little son was there, playing out the back of our house, and then he was gone. [cry, cry , cry etc] I only had my back turn for about 5 minutes, but when I next looked out back he was not there. I could not find him anywhere! [wail, cry, cry wail] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Mr Cobbler :** Haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [barely controlling her fury, speaks through | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [takes several deep breaths, and turns to Mrs Cobbler] Madam, if you feel the need to talk to someone who is here to help & | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **The Middle Inn [Xenobia nods regally and walks away] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **You have such a winning way with people, sis. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **Do be quiet, Torquil. Let's go to this hotel you've found. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DL : **Torquil waits gallantly as Doreen catches up to him. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **Here, let me take those bags for you, they look very heavy. Xennie showed me the map, and I think the hotel isn't too far from here. I'll buy you a drink, if it isn't too early in the morning for you. I have consumption, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **Why not indeed [wondering where Torquil got his map from]. Now do be a dear an help me with my luggage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **Of course, as you can tell by my heroic | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **So ah believe your affianced to that loverly | ||
+ | |||
+ | ? {ever the intrepid | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **Affianced to Xenobia? Good God, madam, of course not! She's my sister. Can't you see the family resemblance? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **Doreen hands Torquil a couple of suitcases which contain various skimpy {for the period} costumes which nevertheless seem quite weighty {could be the wrought iron lace}. Doreen {or TLD The Lovely Doreen} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **So, Mr. Featherstone, | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====The Middle Inn===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The Middle Inn seems a nice sort of place. Its a two story building which seems well kept. The prices seem reasonable as well. Insides you meet the owner, a Mr Darak, who seems rather odd to you both. He sees you enter his place, he looks at you with one eye open and says | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** Greetings, I am Darak, owner of this establishment & | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** And you are... ? [He suddenly twists his head to one side and starts to froth at the mouth. ] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** Have you heard from Aurelia lately? I sure miss her a lot. Haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **Doreen gasps in surprise at Darak' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **I require two rooms for myself, and my employer, who is presently engaged in business elsewhere [surreptitiously | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **Doreen gestures below the counter for Torquil to talk with out of earshot of the proprietor {after Torquil finishes talking to him}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** [to Darak] I will need a room for myself, and one for my sister, and there may be someone else as well, though I don't know whether he actually sleeps in a bed. Two nights should do it, for now. You don't look terribly busy. Here's the luggage [deposits the pile on the counter, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **[softly to one side] Was it just me, or did ye see it too? I dinnae trust yon publican. The spouting an frothing I c'n deal with what with his Amazingness as me boss an all, but his ravings of living for hundreds o' years leave me to guess at his sanity. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** Arrr..... People with information of the missing people? If we knew that lass, then we know where to find them! The whole problem is that nobody know nothing! It darn well depressing, one minute | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The innkeepers head twitches and he froths at the mouth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** I wish it would cool down because the cows are upsetting Captain Bristol' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **[quietly to Torquil] Ah don't know about you but this mon give me the willies. Lets just dump our stuff and get back to the other' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **A good plan, Doreen. [Torquil takes a quick look around the rooms] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **Ready when you are. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** Right you are young lass, right you are. Thank you all, I will take your luggage upstairs. [takes some bags and starts | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Doreen goes to find Trevor and Xenobia, talks to Trevor, then goes to the police station. Xenobia misses Doreen, enters the Inn and starts asking | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** Ahr young lass, how are you, fine I hope & | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [to herself] What an odd man, I wonder what he meant by that? I'm so far out of ideas its startling. Torquil? [goes back into the restaurant] where did Doreen go? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **The cop shop. You know, Xenobia, I think we're going about this the wrong way. You should be using your unearthly powers | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **No!!!!!!!!! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** [sighs] Okay, how's this for an idea? Let' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DL : **Maybe Torquil and Xenobia can be disappeared and come back, or maybe they can just spend a lot of time wondering around the town, wearing their ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia** : [after they' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **Xennie, your starting to get on my nerves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **Ladies don't drink scotch. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **You? A lady? Ha!! | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====A touch of liquer===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Trevor, you walk to the closest inn, the Parsed | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Man #1 :** What can I do for you, stranger & | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Well me fine codger, I was just finkin' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** This huge man looks you over, cracks his knuckles | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Man #1 :** Ok, sit down, I'll get what you want, my names Nansen. [He brings over 2 big mugs of ale] {you thinks its ale anyway} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Nansen :** So what are you doing in town stranger. You' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Nah, I'm nowt like that, mind ye if money do come me way, I'm of amind to keep it, if you know what I mean **[13]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | 5**Man at Bar :** So, your not round from here, stranger. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **'Tis unfortunate for you sir. Would ye care to try your luck instead at cards? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Man at Bar :** Ah, yeah, sounds good to me. How a bit of poker eh, I'm not to bad if I do say so myself. [Smile] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Ok, Trevor, you're playing cards. This guy plus a few others sit down with you and start playing. {are you going to cheat, I presume yes? Rock, paper, scissors time, see if your caught. I've picked mine. You got to trust me!} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Of course he is. [he even has his own cards] Rock | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You lay out the cards for a game of poker. You manage to slip them a few low cards while giving yourself the better cards. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **Trevor buys everyone a round of drinks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Pub patrons :** Hurrah! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Player :** thanks mate! Your not to bad. My names Ralf. Your a good player. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **{A high DEX is great, it even helps when your drunk. } Trevor has a few more drinks, and becomes quite tipsy [low CON]. He starts to show off some magic tricks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Crowd :** Gosh, Oh, Ar... Were all impressed [really they are]. Say Stranger, your pretty good with this magic stuff, maybe you know what happened to all these missing people. Maybe they all disappear by magic? Yeh right, says another, pull another rabbit out of your hat. A few coins come your way. {not bad for a cameo appearance!} | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Meanwhile, Xenobia and Torquil are wandering town trying to be stolen | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** After a futile hour or so you both come to realise, that nothing has happened to you. Deciding to go to the nearest pub, you enter and see a group of men playing cards, one of which is Trevor. By the look of Trevor' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** It seems all the patrons in this public house are rather drunk. They also seem to be watching Trevor performing his magic tricks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [watching Trevor' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **Not really, I.... Oh. You were being sarcastic. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **I think you should keep an eye on Trevor, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** [seeing Trevor] We're booked in to the Middle | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **Just a minute Torquil, I'm talking. and don' | ||
+ | |||
+ | (various impropriatorial comments pass between Xenobia and Trevor, sadly they are lost to antiquity **[14]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **I think its time we left, Torquil, go and get Trevor, he's looking a little worse for wear. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **No, wait, I just want to see the magic trick. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **Why on earth would I want to do that? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **Just a hunch, just to be on the safe side... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Trevor bought everyone a round of drinks which was the first thing to put them in a good mood. Also due to his low CON, he is now slightly drunk. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **An' wash thish, thish ish reaaly tricky, alaka - alaka - alakasumfin' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **An' for me nexsht trick I'll need a $50 bill, can anny one len'me a $50 bill? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Drunk #1 :** Sssure can, fffrriend. [Scruffy looking man stumbles up to you and hands you a $50 note]. Whatcha going to dooo with it, a? | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Drunk #7 :** Hick! [clunk! man falls off chair onto floor, where he stays] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Drunk #4 :** Or What? [Drunks start to crowd around | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The drunks starts to pile onto Trevor, one of them saying I going to find that other $40". Tables and chairs, drinks and patrons | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Burp | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Sorry I'll be serious. Sandwiches, no wait what were the choices again? Igneous, no Paprika Klatuu verata Noodles Ah whatever, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Rock. All these drunk fellas hurl themselves onto you and a huge brawl begins. Tables and chairs are use as clubs to smash there opponent. Trevor, you scramble out just as they all come together and they start to fight one another. They don't seem to have notice you at all. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** [to Trevor] Okay, lets get out of here while they' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [regarding Trevor with an expression of mild distaste] Is there anything more pitiful than a man who can't hold his liquor? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **He's doing alright, made 40 dollars, he did! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [eyes brighten with interest] Really? Clever | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Urr, me 'ead 'urts. Where' | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Trevor makes a feeble excuse as to why he is not sure where Doreen is and leaves) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You walk or stumble your way back to the hotel if you wish.... or you could go somewhere else! After much time Trevor makes it to his room where he passes out for a while... {ok guys where to next, or have you lost the map I gave you} Its seems a pretty nice kind of place, this Middle | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====The Cop Shop===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | (back to where Doreen chatted with Trevor) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Doreen excuses herself and makes her way to the Constabulary, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** [time is 3 : 00 pm ish] Doreen makes here way to the sheriffs office. Its a one story building on the main street, with a big sign on top, saying sheriff. As you approach the building you can see into the building [through the windows and partial glass door] you see a middle aged man sitting at a desk, staring at the desk top. As you open the door, he sees you and jumps to his feet. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Sheriff :** Afternoon M'am, can I help you! & | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **Yes indeed mah good man, I'm looking for a friend of mine who arrived recently to this picturesque town with its charming | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Sheriff :** My dear, I am sorry to tell you that many people have gone without trace, within the last few months. There' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **One Trevor, a thin rratty man in a top hat. Last I heard of him, he was going to check out this place for some reason or other - don't ask me, typical male really, he's probably gone off for a drink or cards or something. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Sheriff :** Hmmm..... First place I would look for is one of our many taverns, we have in this town. If he is not there, try where he is staying. If you have not found him by the end of today, come find me again, and we will do a proper search. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **That would be just like him, off to a soddin' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Sheriff :** Hmmm... Try one of the taverns around town and then try where he is staying. If he is not there come back to me, I'll help you look for him. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Doreen checks out the wrong Inns) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Doreen, fed up with trying to find Trevor goes to join Xenobia and Torquil | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Doreen is able to find Xenobia and Torquil at the Middle Inn. They don't seem that hard to find. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DL :** After spending a peaceful night in the Inn, Xenobia wakes up and goes down to breakfast. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **I think its time for tea. Are you joining us, Doreen? [goes into the tea room, assuming there is one, otherwise, we go somewhere with tea] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **Well, everyone, where do you suggest we go now? I think we should go for a walk in the woods. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do next? Trevor muttered something about going to talk to the police, which I think is a very good idea, and hopefully he'll come back with all sorts of useful information about the disappearances. [ha ha ha ha **[15]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** [adding a large splash of something from a metal flask to his tea] I reckon we should check out the woods. Strange things | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [watching Torquil drink] Ughh, that' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** [To Doreen] Did Trevor give you any idea when he'd be back? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Trevor wanders in. {coincidentally} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Urrgh. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **[in a load voice] Gotta headache have ye deary? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[sotto voce [small voice]] Sharrup, g' | ||

+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **yehr, yerh, whatever.. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen :**[grabs TATMOTU' | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====A Walk in the Black Forest===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Your group walks out into the only forest next to the town. The morning is cool but pleasant for a walk in the woods. The thing you notice most is the lack of sounds in the forest, no animal noises at all. The only noises that you hear are coming from yourselves. {how long are you wondering in the forest and how far do you travel into the forest} He he he!{only kidding **[16]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **We' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **To look for clues, of course! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **I see... And have we found any yet? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **No. And get that sarcastic look off your face. There should be birds tweeting, and rustles in the undergrowth, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen : **[to Xenobia & Torquil] Oh, I do wish you two would stop bickering | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Yeah, twas luverly an quiet before. | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[Thinks- Cor, do me poor abused ear' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[Thinks- I might just go over an 'ave a looksee] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Trevor carefully, so as not to make any large noises that may cause a further throb of his headache, makes his way towards | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The two ladies, and Torquil walk back to town {without getting lost, congrats}. Without wasting too much time you find the local hunters guild. The outside of this building is lighted and cheery | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Meanwhile, back in the forest) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The stone clearing is empty besides the pattern on the ground. You feel powerful magic radiating from the stones. You also see some dried blood on the stones. Other than that, there is nothing in the clearing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Well, that were a waste o' time. Think I' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Trevor, you wake up when you suddenly feel cold. You realise that it is evening, and it is getting dark. Trevor sneaks up over the spur and looks into the small valley below. About 200 metres away is a figure, wearing a brown robe, singing. Around this robed figure is a pattern | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[Thinks- Cor, strewth, It looks like I been sneakin' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[Thinks- Maybe I'll just set a spell **[17]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[casts Detect Magic and hides] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The whole circle glows with strong magic aura. The robe figure also glows magically. The figure does not notice other magicks | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** As you follow the figure {I presume you do} the figure heads into town and then towards the Temple of the Wind God. The clocked | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[Thinks- I'll scare 'im off][fires a shot into the air before charging down with gun ready]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** {When are you shooting, while he is still in the forest or in town? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** {Bugger, I forgot he left. did he take the sack? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** {yes} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** {Bugger, I follow {sorry}} Trevor follows | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** As I said before, you see him go into town and enter the temple. He has not noticed you following him. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Trevor at this point gives up and goes for a drink) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You make your way back to the pub. And start another drinking session. But you have not seen your friends for quite sometime. You wonder what has happened to them... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **Cor, wonder wat's happen' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** It's getting pretty late and you have seen no sign of them. **[18]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Trevor goes to check out the last place they said they were going to.. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Going to the huntsmen' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **An' would this 'ere temple be open at this time o' night? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Huntsman :** The front doors are open, but I don't know about the priest? They are rather strange if you ask me. I would be careful, if I were you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====The Temple===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | {meanwhile, while Trevor went off into the woods to sleep, Xenobia, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You go up to one of the men there and ask why everybody is so unhappy. A man who introduces himself as Harris starts to speak. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Harris :** In the past 12 months, we have not found a single track anywhere within two days travel of this town. Its as if the wildlife just left. Even the rabbit and chipmunk population has disappeared. If you ask us what's behind it, we say it is an evil someone - or many someones. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** thank you, sir. You do mean the temple of the wind god? Yes? [To the others]: Let's go to this temple, then. It sounds | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Traveling to the Temple you find it on a hill. The temple is huge with lots of spires and ornate carvings on the stone walls. The main double doors lead directly to a large cavernous room easily 120 feet x 150 feet. It has polished wooden floor which is dotted with woven rugs showing | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** Can I help you strangers, I am Malisha, Head priest of this temple of the wind. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Xenobia introduces everyone, and says why they have come visiting) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** It very sad that all these people have gone missing. But I don't know where they they have gone. We pray for there safe return. Please have some fruit and water. You all look hot and tired , so please have some refreshments. We have done our own search but have found nothing. Its all very sad. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Torquil asks about game, something mentioned at the Hunting Lodge) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** My dear sir, there is game out there if you look hard enough. Although you are right about much of the wildlife has disappeared and it becomes increasingly harder to find wild game for dinner. We all have a liking for wild rabbit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Man in robe :** Perhaps these strangers are saying we are involved in the missing animals in the forest. Just like all the other town folk. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** No, no, I'm sure these people did not mean it this way. Please, come into my office. [she geastures towards the back of the temple]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You follow Malisha and her group into the back part of the temple. This leads into a corridor and she takes the first door on the left. In this room are six chairs and a small low table in the middle. On the table are fruit and a bowl of water. Glasses hang from the bowl. Malisha | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** Please have a drink and food. The wind god is what we worship. All its elements, the wind, rain, lighting storms. The ability | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Xenobia, makes polite conversation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** It very sad that all these people have gone missing. But I don't know where they they have gone. We pray for there safe return. Please have some fruit and water. You all look hot and tired , so please have some refreshments. We have done our own search but have found nothing. Its all very sad. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Asked whether any of their own people have gone missing) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** None of our community have gone missing you know[she smiles] we are protected by our god you know. The towns folk distrust | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** [you are feeling very tired, your eyes are so heavy..... ] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [yawns] Do excuse me. [trying to concentrate] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** [looking at the other two, but unwilling to admit that he feels tired] I think its time that we were leaving you. Xenobia? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Xenobia, Torquil and Doreens eyes just can't seem to be kept open. Before you know you have fallen asleep in the chairs. Darkness | ||
+ | |||
+ | (some time passes) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Xenobia, Doreen and Torquil wake up with the biggest headache you ever had. Its dark and quiet, with the only sounds that you hear are that which comes from your companions. If you feel around you find you are in a small square room, with one door [which is locked] and the soft mats that you were lying on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Torquil starts trying to pick the lock, while Xenobia searches the room) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** After some time, you manage to open the door, with a satisfying snitch. Xenboia, on the other hand, has had no luck luck whats so ever. Nothing under the mats except floor and the wall feel very solid and don't move at all. Looking at the door, you see a long dark corridor, with a dull light coming from the end. The sounds of chanting? can be heard softly | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Torquil is sent to investigate the sounds) | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====A Tiff===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You sneak down the corridor. Up ahead the light is getting brighter. The end of the corridor is a arch way. Through the arch way is a dimly lit room, with 4 cloaked figures standing around and stone circle [which is on the floor]. They seem to be mumbling some kind of gibberish. Inside the circle pattern, is a rabbit, which is tied up and is struggling. Suddenly, the circle flashes with light, very intense, and a warm heat floods past you. You are blinded, for a moment. While the light flashed, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** [sneaks back to the others] there' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Absolutely. Doreen, Torquil, I have a plan that might work. Doreen, I want you to go back into the cell, and close the door. Then, starting screaming : Oh you fiends, what have you done? They' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Doreen lets fly some screams and some panicky | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** Oh. bloody hell. Charge! [Torquil charges the first robed figure, attempting to knock him over... what way does the door open? If possible, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You see Torquil barge into the cloaked figure and roll around in the door opening. In the scuffle, the figures hood comes of and a horrid sight is before you. A being with a egg like head, strange elongated | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Doreen rushes to Torquil' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Rock {well, it finally worked} The tentacles brush over your face, the feeling of fear sneaks into your heart. You feel as though | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Torquil - you are standing in an open field, the wind rushing past you. The sun is high in the sky, sending down a great warmth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DL : {**I win, and this is what I get? Cool!} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** Hello? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You say hello to this man. Cripes! No wonder you thought he looked familiar, he looks just like you. He smiles. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil 2 :** Hi. I'm Torquil and how do you do. My friends call me ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | (meanwhile, back in reality) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Horrible monster![Xenobia rushes to Torquil' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You rush in and touch this horrible beast. He seems unaware that you approach. You cast the spell, and he screams out in pain, rolling of Torquil and slowly getting to his feet. A voice from the corridor speaks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** Fool! You can't do anything right. [She flips back her hood, and you see that she also has an unhuman head.] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** Must I do everything myself. [You see her move her fingers and speak in an unknown language.] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** [to Doreen] The being writhes in pain after being struck by Xenobia spell. You rush in and grab what looks like his ears and drive home your hard knobbly knee between his legs. The beings howls in pain, and crumples to the floor. Past the doorway, Malisha finishes speaking and points a finger at you. You feel like an invisible hand is crawling through | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Paper | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Scissors [don't always pick rock, you guys] The beam of light strikes you and feel all numb. You suddenly realise that you can't see. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Odious, insufferable, | ||
+ | |||
+ | break her concentration]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Xenobia, you charge into Malisha and drive her into the floor. Unfortunately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Doreen, you feel really strange. As though you have had too much to drink. Your balance is really bad and you stumble and fall to the floor. Your sight has now returned but is kind of blurry, everything you see is in double. You see one of the things, lying on the ground twitching | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Torquil comes to, sees Xenobia struggling) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** A cry for help? [Torquil heads out to help Xenobia, as Doreen seems to be managing on her own quite nicely] | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Xenobia casts cause light on Malisha) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Xemobia, you cast your spell and you see Malisha | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Xen and Torquil continue to thrash the living | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen :** Och, I feel as bad as yon beastie looks. She tries to struggle to her feet, or at least kick the thing on the ground. Rock. {just in case} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You lay into the creature, even though it is in pain already. You feel a great satisfaction as you place your boot into its body. {it ain't getting up for a while, thats for sure}. Xenobia seems to be be busy with her own fight at the moment. No, Malisha is not going to get up. If you follow the corridor, it leads into the large room, with one other exit. The floor has a spiral circle on it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** Let's just get out of here, as quick as we can. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Wait... this spiral floor looks interesting- | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** No! We don't have time, and if you think by stepping over the pattern willy-nilly we're going to awake some dread demon of the outer most reaches, then you've been reading the wrong sort of books! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** But-- | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** No! We're leaving right now. [Torquil strides | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Torquil boldly strides across the room, towards | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Torquil!! [Xenobia screams. She looks very upset, and starts wringing her hands] Oh no, how could this happen? How do I change him back. Torquil... [Xenobia clicks her fingers, and starts motioning | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Yes, the spiral arcs across the doorway. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia** **:** Torquil, get over here right now! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil : **[rabbit noises] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia** **:** [sigh] I may have a spell that will help us. [Xenobia casts detect magic] Now, if we walk through this room without touching the bits that glow, we should be fine. Follow me, Doreen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen :** [holding head] I say, what ever did they use to knock me out? I swear your brother turned into a | ||
+ | |||
+ | rabbit & | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Doreen :** {or The Lovely Doreen [TLD]} I trust your perceptions me dear Xenobia, lead the way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** With difficulty, you manage to grab the rabbit | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** There she, is dreadful woman! Let's tie her up, and when she awakes, threaten her until she turns Torquil back into a human. Though, he | ||
+ | |||
+ | is a very cute rabbit. I had a pet rabbit when I was a child, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** Squeak! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Really? Are you sure, I was sure we called | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** Squeak. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [Xenobia finds something to secure Malisha, | ||
+ | |||
+ | knots. At least, they look very complicated to Xenobia] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You manage to tie up the beaten up Malisha with some torn off clothing. After a little persuasion, Malisha wakes up. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Malisha :** You little toads. You will all be punished, | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====MEANWHILE, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** [to Trevor] You go up to the Temple. The large doors are open, but the main room is dark and empty. There seems no one about the large room. Of to the other end of this room is a small corridor leading of into the darkness. The chanting has stopped below the stairs, and all is quiet in the temple. A minute later, you hear a scream from below, coming from a male voice. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** What's ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** The muttering stops, and a voice from down the stairs says whos there?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Trevor cautiously proceeds along with his hand close to his gun. [fast enough to be moving, but not fastenough to catch anyone/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Trevor - you sneak down the stairs. You see you are in a small 10 x 10 {shut up peter, I know what you are thinking **[20]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** Cor, wonder if'n that be Doreen. She do ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You can see that the corridor leads to the other end of the building. On one side are two doors and the other has one door. At the end of the corridor is a metal stair case, leading down. You can barely | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Trevor investigates) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Yes there is a door past the chamber. As to what they are doing, they seem to be eating some kind of fresh meat. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Trevor jogs forward warily {ie making sure he knows where his wallet and Red book **[21]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You sneak towards the scream. As you get close you notice, its more of a whinging type, complaining about being locked up, not have room service, etc. You then here a male voice, telling her to shut up and stop her whinging. As you come are a bend in the corridor, you are able to see a robed man talking to someone behind a closed door. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **Trevor creeps along a lot faster, hoping that there may be some reward type money for rescuing kidnapees [hoping its a kidnap] [also hoping he can get away with it]. BTW Matt, do I have shield or is that a different universe **[22]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** {Yes you do have shield}. You cast the spell and sneak up the corridor. The man is completely unaware that you are there and is still look through the door, talking to the prisoner. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC :** Feeling woozy after casting the spell, Trevor | ||
+ | |||
+ | briefly against it before continuing. {BTW what is Andrew' | ||
+ | |||
+ | (meanwhile, Andrew joins the game) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** [to Angelica] You hear footsteps approach your room. You hear a man voice speak from behind the door. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Man in Robe :** Be quiet you insufferable woman. Anymore | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** Oh blast, I'm afraid I'm in a real mess this time. They' | ||

+ | **DM :** [to Trevor] Your hear the man speak up ahead, it seems he taking to some young woman through a closed door. {refer to mail to andrew, cc to you} | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** Well what are you going to turn me into? A walrus perhaps? How about a fat, blubbery otter? Or a large moose? Ooops, silly me. You can't actually turn me into yourself I suppose! Oh well, you'll just have to let me go then. I mean, you don't actually believe that your so-called | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Man in Robe:** Thats it! I have enough of this. [you hear the rattle of keys and the door swings open. The man is in a robe and a hood covers his face. He flips back his hood and a terrify face he has. Nothing | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica : **[Major case of bad acne, kick him in the goolies.] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You drive home you shoe into his nether regions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** [to Trevor] You see the robed man open the door and walk inside the room. Moments later you hear a gasp and the robed man scrambles back out into the corridor. This guys head is really weird [etc, etc, you have heard it all before], you don't think it has notice you. You are close enough to jump, if you want to. The sound of an angry woman come out of the room ahead. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** you were in a rush, right **[23]**>> | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [Thinks- Now, I could jump 'im [he thinks with an accent too], bein' nice an' quiet like, but prob' | ||

+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Taken by surprise, you manage to surprise the man. He stumbles back and returns with a punch to the head. You feel dazed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** [lure him toward the door, then grab the door frame above my head and swing back, then plowing my feet into his chest as I swing forward through the doorway.] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Upon talking to this man, he looks up at you. His tentacles writhe as he looks at with complete hatred. Unfortunately, | ||

+ | **Trevor :** Cor strewth, blimey.[rushes towards sound]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You rush down the corridor that leads to a room. In this room is a spiral formation on the floor. You see xenobia draging a body onto the spiral floor. You notice that Xenobia is covered in blood, dripping in fact. Xenobia seems to have a look a glee on her face. Once the body was domped | ||
+ | |||
+ | **AM : **I've got another gurgling, sloppy sound for you - HUURUURGH! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** [Regaining her composure and not wanting to be left behind by the onrushing Trevor, Angelica runs forward. She stops, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [to Xenobia, staring at the rabbit] 'Ere ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Trevor!!! I am excessively glad to see you. Don't come into this room yet, its very dangerous. [Xenobia' | ||
+ | |||
+ | (Xenobia goes to leave the room) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** You make your way across the floor, following the spiral. After going around the room almost twice, you make it out the other door, carrying torquil. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [to Xenobia] & | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** This dreadful, vile creature, currently an unconscious rabbit, was a priestess called Malisha. She locked us up, and was going to sacrifice us all, but we tried to escape, and then Torquil got turned | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM : **Now thats not a very nice thing to say Xenobia, I thought Malisha was very nice | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DL : **Nice? Nice? Ha! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [quite miffed] Well I don't know about eatin', | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** [Continues to stagger forward after Trevor, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM: **Now that you are all together, you ponder what to do next. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** Now we bein' 'ere in the all togeva so to speak, what' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **AM: **You' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC: **Shh | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **[Notices Angelica sculking in the shadows, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Torquil :** Squeak | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** He says hello.[Trevor shoots rabbit{Malisha}, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM: **The rabbit splatters all over the place, and you feel a tiny bit better. When you find Doreen, you are overcome with sadness, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[Trevor spies Doreen' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [takes off top hat to barf into, looks at hat, evaluates hat, barfs on floor instead] Blech. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [Thinks- An I din't even pay 'er back wages, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **[erroneously [perhaps] assuming that Trevor | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [to Xenobia]Thanks[looks about his person in vain for a clean hankerchief to sniffle on, eventually giving up and running | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [to Xenobia]But I don' b' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** Trevor, we can have metaphysical discussions | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** Oh no, I'm not waiting here by myself! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** [overhearing Angelica] Yeah well at least it' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** I vowed never t' 'ave a clever idea in me life incase me foot falls off. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** [to Trevor] Oh my, how dreadful. Were you close?" | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[to Angelica]Nah, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **AM : **I meant Codswallop, but Doreen 'll do | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM : **Well guys what are you going to to now, after you have seen Doreens grisly remains. | ||
+ | |||
+ | (general consensus to leave) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM: **Besides the difficulty of getting out of the spiral | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** I want to go back to the hotel. [Xenobia | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | =====THE MIDDLE INN===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM: **Xenobia - with the rabbit, you make it to the hotel, without any problems. The innkeeper is waiting for you and lets you in. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** Fine day for a walk missy. Care for some dinner? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia : **[going slightly green]: ohh, no thank you. But I would like hot water sent up to my room, for I am going to bathe. And, it isn't exactly day, its night time. See? Its rather dark outside. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innkeeper :** Right you are miss, right you are. I'll go get the water for you, arrr. A bit later, he brings to your room, some hot water for the tub. Anything else? Not waiting for a reply, he leaves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** [Travels into the village with the rest of the party] Innkeeper, I expect your finest room. Send me up a hot meal, hot water for a bath, any oils and soaps you may have, your best bottle of wine, and send out for a fresh pair of pants and shirt and I'll also need a seamstress to adjust them." waits two seconds, "Well don't just stand there agape man, get to it!" " | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** goes up to room and waits expectantly for service, meanwhile finding a brush, and removing most of the knots and filth from her gorgeously long blonde hair. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **Is gorgeously, as an adjective, objective? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **AM : **Gorgeously, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Upon arriving back at the hotel and a short rest for some, you track down the sheriff and tell him of the evil deads of the temple [probably leaving out some of the more stranger parts. The sheriff and his deputies head out to the temple to check things out. After a through search | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DL : **Trevor suggest to the townspeople that the raze the temple to the ground. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** NO!!!" "It should be studied, to find out if it has any significant archealogical history- think of the knowledge!" | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** That's enough out of you Miss! The place harbours a Dark and Dreadful Evil and should be destroyed for the Common Good. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica : **Dark and dreadful evil? What, some guys with a bad case of acne? Priests with squids on their heads? Just because they turned whats is name into a rabbit you want to go and destroy what could be a very valuable find! Barbarian. Savage." | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** I still think Daddy would be interested in this temple." | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **Is Angelica staying in the same hotel? If so Trevor, being a connoseuir [sp?] of all things rich and corrupt would tend to hand around Angelica. Trevor mails a letter to Doreen' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **AM : **Angelica is staying in whatever is the most high class Hotel- if there is only one Hotel, then yes, Angelica is staying in the same Hotel as Trevor. However, Angelica is not normally the kind of woman who would associate herself with small, grubby, weasel faced men- especially if they have a predispostion to attach themselves to money in the same way a tick attaches itself to a dog. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PC : **Well, it was worth a try [for him anyway]. Trevor | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM : **Well, the towns citizens group together, and decide what must be done. In a angry group, they set fire to the temple and the surrounding land and cheer when the temple is burnt. All they care about is revenge, a means to strike the evil priests. Some don't even care if they were guilty... | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Home Again, Home Again, Jiggidy Jig===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Upon solving the mystery of the missing people at University, you decide [I decide, I going to finish this today] to take the train back to Boston. Any way, you need to get paid by Mr Jones. You make it back to Boston, uneventfully, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Miss Smith :** Welcome back! I hope you had a nice trip. I will go see if Mr Jones will see. [With that she gets up and goes to his office] | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [waiting outside for Miss Smith] Have we sorted out what we are going to tell Mr Jones, so that he gives us our money? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** Well, I guess I may as well tag along with you fellows. I think it may be a spot of fun. What exactly do you do anyway? | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** [to Angelica] We do all sorts of | ||
+ | |||
+ | things, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Angelica :** Saving the world... Hmm... Yes I think I could really get into that - especially if we get to blow the heads off evil scum sucking cultists! < | ||
+ | |||
+ | grin> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor : **[to Xenobia] Well I am not ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM : **Your group steps once again into Mr Jones office. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Mr. Jones :** Good to see you all again. I hope everything went well. So you found out what really was going on? Please tell me.... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Trevor :** Well yer see it were like this...[Trevor | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Mr Jones :** Yes.... It seems that you all have done a good job. Unfortunately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Xenobia :** thank you, Mr Jones. As always, its been... | ||
+ | |||
+ | **DM :** Mr Jones shows you out of the office, and bids you good day. As a final statement, he says he will contact you, when he has need of your services. | ||
