Navarre rested the spear on his shoulder, ears perked as well as they could under his slitted knight helm. He was actually surprised by the number of women who had looked for a job such as this. Navarre and a deathly pale old man inside a hooded black cloak - a necromancer - were the only men in the group, and the necromancer did not seem to be an insane old man like most of their kind were depicted.

The women seemed slightly different for that matter. Two of them still fulfilled traditional aspects of evil, except for the dwarven woman, who seemed well past her prime and kept smiling for no apparent reason, although her skills could have something to do with it. The other two were a self-proclaimed "seductress" who had red eyes, hair and a dress and looked much like a classical evil noblewoman, although her features indicated she could be around his age - you never know when dealing with people who deal with magic and daemonic powers - and a small woman in skimpy clothes with monsters by her side. After analyzing them, Navarre was left with the impression the elderly necromancer would certainly be better company than any of the women. At least he had the impression "Smear" was less insane than the rest.

"Well, as for my skills, I am good with spear and pike fighting and counterattacking both plain and sneak attacks, leading armies and, to a lesser extent, inspiring people to fight alongside me." he shrugged slightly, causing his full set of (stolen) plate armor to gleam dully under the light. His armor and weapons were extremely good but he felt they would still bring him trouble someday when the rightful owner came to retrieve them, although he did appreciate the fact he could be mistaken as a hero or neutral champion because of them. "I think I am not the best person to conduct negotiations or try persuasion."

"I think I'll bind some lesser wraiths for this, and have them panic random townsmen. The paladins should get distracted by hunting down these insignificant shadows, without alerting them to our presence."

Navarre eyed the wall, as if peering in the distance behind the protective barrier of stone. "I guess it is enough talking, let us go there and check how the situation really is. Before this, I may have a request for making it easier to achieve success..."

Try to find or obtain a seal or sign of nobility/heroism from anyone in the castle to make possible negotiations within the settlement easier and then leave for the town of Fade, ahead of the rest if needed be.

"Well, let's be swift, whatever we do."

Head out when allies are ready. No preparations necessary.

Go to the least out-of-the-way graveyard on the path to the town (not the town's graveyard) and grab some lesser wraith minions able to panic the townspeople through their dreams.

Syrin collects 4 enough food for a week long trip, 2 gets a map from the cartographer that shows the main tourist attractions of the region of Fade, and  2 a nun disguise that probably wasn't made for actual monasteries. The tag on the inside says "Sexy Nun Costume; polyester 55% cotton 45%, hand-wash only".


Navarre  6 manages to find from one of the closets labeled LOOT & PLUNDER a seal of a high-ranked paladin. It looks like metal disk that is chamfered, with a rose and a sword engraved in it.

Navarre leaves for Fade,  5 and arrives on a hill next to it with little incident. Pillars of cooking fire smoke rise calmly on this windless day, while the townsfolk go about their lives. It is noon.


Maldavia  2 gets lost on the way there. Currently, Maldavia is near a stream that is alarmingly deep for its width, and cold, too. It is rocky. Nearby, a bear is lapping water out of the stream.


Tali  3 finds a woodcutter's axe. Heavy, and not balanced for fighting.


Smear  1 finds the spookiest, most obscurely situated, and least frequented graveyard he can and tries to raise wraith minions.   4 He successfully creates three ghosts.

Maldavia gave an irritated sigh. If only bears were more receptive to speechcraft.

...or maybe they were? She'd never tried to recruit a bear before.

Tame bear.

Head for fade not noticing that the nun costume does not work

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

Navarre watched the small town from an advantange point, stopping only to look around and behind him and finding none of his companions. Figuring they'll eventually arrive and it is as good a time as any to start his mission, he lowered the visor of his helmet and moved down the hill with a firm stride, heading for the town right in front of him.

Start to perform the secret task given by the Dark Lord.
