Age of The End (D&D 5E) (IC)

[Sherwood]

Beorin looks over at the growing drama that is starting to draw attention and sighs. "Ey, now. Lets not be doing all that. We are comrades in arms here, and we need to remember the task at hand. If there is the risk of these demon lords to ever escape, we must try to put a stop to that for the sake of the whole world, and I have a sneaking suspicion that this item we're transporting has something to do with this. Lets try and find this person we're supposed to be delivering this package to. I'm willing to split off and search either location of this tavern or the library. I would just suggest that we all use caution, and stick in groups to stay safe."

 

[Psychie]

Athaclenna slides up to stand next to Shalia and adds her own calming words. "Beorin is right. We can't afford to let anything get between us and our goal of stopping the Twelve from turning our world into a literal Hell." She looks at Vrail and says, "I can go to the tavern, but I won't step foot in the library." She shudders. "Too many books."

As the storm continues to thunder overhead, a human man walks by pulling a cart full of talismans... though he seems to mostly be selling Sun and Rain Tags

What is a Sun and Rain Tag?

 

[TyranntX]

What is a Sun and Rain Tag?

They are talismans, singe use magic items. these ones in particular change the weather. Given you roll high enough for potency

 

[Felis]

"Yes, let's please try not to fight at a time like this," Diella hurries to agree with Beorin and Athaclenna, then turns to Toryk in an attempt to present a compromise. "For the moment, how about you just let Shalia check on Evora? I'm sure it would give her some peace of mind to see Evora is doing alright, and then we can get moving."

She decides to not mention anything about not taking his irritation about her earlier meddling out on the tiefling. Right now is no time to be delving into lengthy discussions. Another thing she'll have to save for later - when they don't have to outpace a storm that may or may not be quite natural. Diella takes to bobbing up and down on her toes anxiously as thunder keeps rumbling overhead.

 

[dr xenon]

With an exasperated sigh Vrail looks back at the building drama and speaks to Shalia.

"If you don't mind - we do have a task at hand - one that may have an impact greater than a single life. And if you haven't noticed the portents - it's urgency seems to be growing! I am going to the tavern. I suggest two others go to the library, and quickly, to see if a Suarian is in there. He should not be difficult to spot!"

With that he turns back and plods inexorably forward.

"Get her out of that chest now! I don't care about the stupid lies you think justify your horrible treatment of a woman who appears to very sweet and a lover of animals. You are lucky that we need you for this mission." Shalia is still extremely angry at the gnoll, but her the words of allies at least causes her to change her mind about burning down the chest for now even though she still wants to do it. "Heroes are supposed to save all the lives they can just like that hero in my favorite book, and I'm not going to let this jerk ruin the health of Evora and possible ruin our chances of saving others over a dumb chest."

A pair of guards approach you and D. Rex , they are fallowed by a tall individual in a long black trench coat and a matching hat (about 7ft tall)

"Everything alright over here?" a guard inquires, raising a brow in suspicion

 

[D. Rex]

Gnoll looked from Diella to Shalia. He then gave a savage grin, "Fine then. See for yourself." He said, reaching into his pocket and pulling a key from it to hand them. "Be don't be dare saying I didn't warn you."




At the present of the guard, Toryk raised an eye brow, "Not really. Kids these days have no respect for what be happening between consensual adults." The gnoll rolled his eyes, "They be acting like they never visited the basement of a brothel before. But they be thirsty enough to have been." Toryk let out a loud guffawing laugh,"No sirs. Just a couple gals that can't handle a few kinks." He grinned. "And figure it be a better idea to cry foul than ask what is going on."

The gnoll huffed and dropped his reign in exasperation, leaning towards the guard. "I mean, you been there, ain'tcha, The old lady asks you to smack her on the rump in the middle of a good lay and all her friends think you now be some sort of monster. Can't of no fun these days, now can ye?"

The Guards and strange individual look at you for a moment.

But they are sadly, not buying it.

"Sir I'm going to need to ask you to step aside as we inspect your cart" said the same guard, as the trio begin to investigate your vehicle

 

[D. Rex]

Toryk grins innocently..

 

[D. Rex]

Toryl shrugged and stepped down off the vehicle. "At your leisure then, gentleman." He said gesturing at the cart.

The two guards start to look over the cart while the trench coat guy keeps their focus on you... They spot nothing illegal on your vehicle (though you were never carrying nay contraband to begin with), but they to take notice of a chest. "Sir, what is in this lock box of yours." The second guard asks

Scratching behind his own ears, Toryk tries to recall everything he has in there. "Gold mostly. Some minor valuables. Me kinky lass. Some papers. One of those fancy tool kits. And the writs of sale for me horses and wagon." He answered honestly.

The guards look at you once more, they surprisingly believe you and leave the chest alone. "Sorry for bothering you sir, we have heard word of a slave caravan from hell roaming about these parts and assumed you may have had one stashed in there." one of the guard's apologized with a tip of is metal hat. "You are free to go." said the other guard, as the two humans walk away and continue their patrol. The trench coat guy sticks around for a bit, and says something in a language you don't speak. (but Vrail CAN) and then follows the guards

Spoiler: If Vrail is interested in overhearing

Watch yourself Gnoll, those hell knights are more vicious than the rumors would let you believe.

Never underestimate the power of honesty. Its an odd duck of a weapon. Nevertheless, he nodded politely at the guards, "And a good day be to you. Oh, I understand, worry ye not."

Though at the mention of the hell slavers, his eyes narrowed and he leaned forward. "Slavers from hell? I hope you no be meaning them Deohendran boys. I ran into some a few years back. A bad bad lot they be. You men be careful now. They a vengeful lot."

"If I see anything, I'll be letting you know. A bad bad lot." He repeated. "Nay would I want to tangle with them again if I could help. But you listen here, they be a crafty bunch. When I saw 'em, it be on a ship. Would no surprise me if they paid off authorities for easy transfer." He suggested.

"Oh, and before ye go, I do not suppose you be knowing where we can find one [insert the saurians name here]? Figured I be trusting your word then some glazed eyed ankle biter."

Toryk looked to the goblin. "No offense meant, of course."

Is Hopsek close enough to hear (if it’s a language Hopsek speaks, which I believe he speaks all of the same languages Vrail does.)?

Yeah, you speak Modern Saurian. so you can understand

 

[Ilikepie]

Shalia quickly releases Evora from the evil chest that was holding her prisoner. "Are you okay? Did that mean jerk hurt you?" Shalia says in a very worried tone as she attempts to help Evora out of the chest. She then glances over towards Athaclenna. "Can you please check if she needs any healing after trapped in that horrible chest for so long". Shalia is a bit upset that the gnoll didn't get arrested for this despite the fact that Shalia still kind of needs him for their mission.

 

[Pumpkin Spice Cyanide]

Evora who had been unbound and able to get comfortable enough to fall asleep in the chest awoke, casually sitting up.
She blinked her tired eyes for a moment and looked around. Her lose gown had gotten caught underneath her and was pulled down her arm and off her shoulder revealing more than she'd prefer to in a more conscious mindframe.

She hadn't been able to get very restful sleep the night before because of her punishment, so the extra time in the box had actually proven to be a blessing in disguise.

It took a moment for her to get her bearings and realize what had happened. At which point her eyes widened in surprise.

"What? Mean jer- What time is it?" She asked, looking at Shalia and then around for Toryk; the one who she had thought would be releasing her.
"Whe-where's Master Toryk?"

Ilikepie

 

[Chuckles]

Hopsek either ignored or failed to connect Toryk’s comment to himself. However he just overheard what trench coat mumbles and casts a curious look at Vrail, assuming the Saurian also heard. He didn’t know what hell knights were and he didn’t know why the Gnoll would need to be careful of them, but the whole thing sounded very glorious.

”Vrail‘s friends bicker, Hopsek feels like home. No bickering on raids, but at home? Goblins bicker. Bicker bicker bicker.” his head bounces from side to side with each ’bicker’ to accent the point. ”City dwellers look down on goblin clans. Hopsek thinks not so different though. Bicker bicker. Vrail tells friends hurry, maybe Saurian not wait all day for them to bicker. Maybe Saurian leave Birth. Hurry, find him.”

"He is over there" Shalia points towards the gnoll in annoyance. "I have no idea what time it is, maybe one of the others know. I'm not the best at telling time and I don't have a watch. Some kind of storm that seems to be unnatural has started that may have created by the hell knights and the group is considering splitting up to find the person we need to give the item to and we need everyone ready in case we get attacked by hell knights over the item. You can't help anyone if we get attacked if you are trapped in this dumb chest." Shalia unhappily decides against saying bad of the gnoll at the moment and decides to focus on the serious issue that they are facing with their mission.
