Turn Twenty FourActivate Gee Whiz I, shoot the two robbers who are unwounded.
…The two bank robbers advancing on him with their crossbows raised, Whiz utters the incantation that transforms his movements into a blur.
…Suddenly there is a crossbow bolt sticking out of the foot of one of the customers lying on the floor,
…and another sticking out of the side of one robber’s head!
Blood pours down the robber’s neck, but it doesn’t distract him from shooting back,
…although perhaps it does, as dashing forward he trips over a helpful customer and shoots himself straight through his arm! It looks severely mangled!
…The other robber quick shoots off a quick bolt at Whiz – as it bounces harmlessly off his protected shins the two criminals throw their crossbows to the floor and draw their daggers.
… … … … … …
Tag along with the raiding group. Intently inspect walls and floor, and possibly get a torch from somewhere.
Action: Try to find useless group/Join main plot.
Hmm, Sef... thinks Gervedder outside the temple on the other side of town.
There’s no reason for me to know what it or he is, since although it is one of the more popular and generally harmless cults, it is the cult of a world entirely different from my own, yet for some reason I find myself remembering tidbits of information I must have picked up somewhere. Perhaps reading one of Uldenago’s dusty library books… Ha! That great eejit. If I remember right, Sef was the offspring of a pair of middlingly popular gods who appeared on Istria in the form of a human to tell people everything there were doing wrong – and thus how far from godliness they were. Worshippers of other gods weren’t so keen on this so they hunted him across the northern wastes and stabbed him repeatedly, whereupon he became a vast and magical pine tree. He has been quite popular ever since – evergreen, one might s- no, let’s not – particularly amongst townsdwellers, washerwomen, and those fleeing the pursuit of unrighteous and possibly mistaken vengeance… Hmm, Anyway…He turns to his colleagues.
"So, no undead. Who’d have thought it. Good. Let's look inside the temple.""Oh! Hey guys, whatcha doing?" suddenly interrupts Medha, breathlessly. It looks like she has been dancing in honour of their victory all afternoon, and has just sprinted across town to find them
"Temple raids? Well count me in for this!"As Gervedder finishes fiddling with the gate and decides that fiddling is a waste of time and kicks it down Lady Foxglove also turns up – decidedly less out of breath and sweaty than Medha but just as miraculously.
…She is not, though, unlike Medha, usefully carrying an unlit torch.
Carefully step into the temple ruins after carefully (or, if that doesn't work, forcefully) opening the gate. Watch out for any tripwires and such. Also, try to remember if I know what Sef is.
Head in and search the place.
Go in the temple.
Breaking down the gate, the fivesome stride fearlessly through the run down cluttered graveyard towards the stone temple.
They approach the door, and push it creakingly open.
It’s dark, with a typically musty air and a comfortable room temperature. It doesn’t look like it’s been used as a temple for worship for decades, but it doesn’t look entirely unfrequented either. The floor is of well-crafted flagstones and the walls smooth reinforced masonry, Medha notices.
…Stumbling through the darkness, there’s a barely perceptible noise before a much more perceptible cry of
arrwwhg feck fecking FECK I’M HIT! I’m hit!Tackov starts rolling about on the ground with an arrow sticking out of his backside.
”Arwhgh! It feels kind of weird and stuff! My arse is going all numb!”Whilst Tackov rolls on the ground Gervedder quickly pokes his head round the corner to check they are safe to attend to the wind mage’s arse wound. Through a stone archway and in the near total darkness he can barely make out a large room with a spiral of gently shining blue stones decorating the floor – the traditional decoration of temples to Sef – and what appear to be headless statues dotting the room. This must have been the main room of worship.
No one can see far enough in to make anything out with any certainty, however – nothing, that is, until a dozen seconds later, when two shuffling forms loom into the middle of the room and moan their way towards the party.
They look like rotting peasants.
