    Edwin ponders the death of Tamoko with a smile.

    "Yes, I never should have let this knave go, what could I have been thinking?"
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    OOC: @Delvarian - What? No comment about being cut to the bone by Minsc's wit? Hrm...

    IC:
    Taken aback by Edwin's illiteracy, Minsc couldn't help but correct the Man-Witch. "It is not knafe. It is knife. As in tiny sword." It was important that they name weapons properly, for Boo was easily confused by hero business. "Now, let us find this evil. Butts shall be kicked in liberal measure!"

    OOC Boo can get confused? :)
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    OOC: When wrong weapons are called out. Minsc says so, at least. Nobody said Boo said so. Maybe it's Minsc who's confused, and he's assuming that Boo is as well. 8INT/6WIS is all kind of stupid!

    ooc: if Edwin had to comment ever time he was cut to the bone by Minsc's wit he wouldn't have time for anything else ;)

    OOC @Delvarian - Truly, Edwin will soon sound like Xan...

    Okay. My roof is finally fixed. Yay! Now, back to the game. Okay, Tamoko got knifed in the back, and is dead. Alora and Mazzy are looking for Ned, the man who killed her. There are two rooms here, one to the north, and one to the south. But they don't know if he's in either one, and their companion with the lantern, Minsc, hasn't yet left the ballroom.

    strangest Way i have read these yet (going down the highway in the bed of a truck in misting rain and cold weather) but still enjoyable! You guys are great cant wait to keep reading.

    *No longer feeling wanted in Town, Eldoth sets off for adventure, armed to the teeth and packing a lute! I arrive at the entrance to the manor shortly after Tamoko's most unfortunate death. Noticing the door is open I enter and light my own lantern and head in, dagger held in main hand, lantern in off. Lute is on my back with backpack and bow.*

    Ooooh, Ravenloft... And bummer of a way for Tamoko to go, but being choked to death by mold spores wasn't much fun, either. It was even more disturbing due to the seasonal allergies currently making me sneeze constantly. All I need = more killer spores. :) Hope you guys catch Ned before he catches you...

    Eldoth, coming in, feels something ghost by him in the darkness...
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    Minsc follow Mini-Minsc-ette and Tiny-Yoshim-ette toward the doorway, keeping the lantern high in one hand, while the other carries his Sword of Boo, +0. He stays behind the two, up to reaching the door, when he pushes the lantern through the gap. "Sword, meet evil," he calls into the room. "Evil, meet sword!!!"

    OOC: Minsc was bringing light for them per Alora's postie. I was afk when that part came in, but I've always assumed that was what I was doing (aside from emotionally scarring Edwin for life, of course)
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Okay... :)
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    So, who is going into the northern room first?
  • EvinfuiltEvinfuilt Member Posts: 505
    *hearing Minscs voice echo through the halls*
    Hello... I hear you, please put down your sword, I'm coming in and I'm uh, not evil, nope. I see your light, here I come.
    *Approaches the rather large looking meat shield and puts dagger away*

    Greetings all, you have been honored to now be in the presence of Eldoth Kron, poet, musician... lover. I assume you are all here for a reason, yes, no? No matter.

    *Pulls out lute and starts playing an uplifting tune*

    OOC: I am now playing bard song to raise morale and earn trust

    I see before me such beauty in all sizes, truly I am most fortunate.

    Why was I born with such contemporaries? You've made your choice, let me know when it changes.

    *Eldoth scribbles some notes down in his diary*

    OOC: I love that eldoth already used Oscar Wilde quotes...

    Minsc focused his eye on the newcomer with the girly little instrument. "Stand and deliver, so that my hamster might have a better look at you." Having been overcome by evil (which killed evil, so it sort of cancelled out in the big world of evil) already, Minsc was suspicious of unexpected newcomers. "Unless you wish to be met with sword and boot!" After a squeak from his pauldron, he added, "And hamster."

    Edwin, Xan can any of you make sure this "newcomer" isn't our assassin wearing a new face?

    OOC Paranoid? Me? What gives you this absurd idea? :)
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    Edwin sighs, once again his intellect is wasted on the fools he is forced to travel about with, their ignorance of magic once again sinking to a new low. He smirks at Mazzy and shakes his head.

    "I am afraid I have no such spell, but if you like I can simply kill the man and set your worries at ease. I am of course here to cast spells at the parties whim."
  • mlnevesemlnevese Member, Moderator Posts: 10,214
    No. I don't think we should kill him before he does something to deserve it. We didn't kill you, after all.
  • EvinfuiltEvinfuilt Member Posts: 505
    *strumming a more dreadful melody*

    Oh, is that how it's to be little one, you have nothing to fear of me. Only true friends stab you in the front. *stops music and grabs a bar of soap from backpack* Here, clean yourself, since you lack wit and intellect at least you could aim for beauty.

    *back to the dreadful melody*

    To you, dear brute, Minsc I hear? It is better to be beautiful than to be good. I fear for you a lonely life, but don't dread, it shall not be long. Now be nice to me, I was kind enough to pick up a treat in town that your little hamster may enjoy.

    *takes a swig of wine and then changes to an upbeat piece*

    Robed one *motioning towards Edwin*, tell me, what has happened and how may I be of assistance. I have come quite prepared, and I dare say you look like you could use some of my courage *offers some of the wine*

    wow i'm so far out of the loop i didn't even know about these incoming re-releases..happy happy joy joy! and on a more pertinent note, thanks to all you skilled people for livening up my weekend that i've spent reading your fine adventuring. superb dm'ing too, made me all nostalgic! kudos! *couldn't suck up any harder even with a straw*
  • reedmilfamreedmilfam Member Posts: 2,808
    Minsc scratched at the back of his head and wondered what the newcomer was trying to do. He made little sense, and seemed to make a poor hero. "Mazzy does not aim for beauty, little man. She aims with sword." It was as if Edwin had copied himself and made another imbecile. Boo thought that, together, they made a half-wit, which was saying something. "Let us find this evil assassin, lest he stab us all in hard to reach places!"

    @rufus_hobart - glad to have made happiness for you.

    "Yer a friend o'theirs?" Eldoth hears a male voice whisper in his ear. "You deserve to die, too, then." He feels a cold length of metal enter his back, and a weird heat overtakes his veins. He takes 4 points of damage to the back, but thankfully makes his save vs. poison. Minsc and the others see a movement in the darkness before Eldoth gasps, blood running from his mouth as he nearly falls over.
