I'll look for hapless chumps to pickpocket.
You wander about but everyone in your area looks either penniless or too well guarded... Except ONE person, who is in a red cloak and he appears to be busy looking for someone, so he's not looking your way and he doesn't seem to notice you. (15+11) You sucessfully pick his pocket and pull out a gold pouch. Inside is 67 coins and a note, which reads the following:
Aurel has been spotted; convince or kill the halfling that was with him, and leave the others to your brothers and sisters. Failure is not an option.
You realize as you look up he's looking down at you and grinning. He grabs you by your collar and drags you into an alleyway. Despite any sounds or movements you do, no one seems to bother helping you. He goes in a bit and throws you down. He pulls out a widow's knife and walks towards you...
Search for the cart, trying to be alert
You wander around and stumble into a nearby alleyway that seems to go back towards that shop. You then hear something and you turn around and see a woman in a red cloak running straight towards you with a widow's knife in hand. Her hood is thrown back and you notice she has some resemblance to someone you know, AND she is NOT human, despite her looks. She grabs you before you can react and throws you down to the ground. You look up and see her pointing the knife at you...
Wrap up the sale and put the money with the leftover gold from the watchtower for later division. Return with Grot and Symon if he's staying with the cart to where everyone split up to make it easier for everyone to meet up again.
While he waits, Karl attempt to figure out if the short sword does more then light up before it's owner is turned into pate and bonemeal.
You do your business and walk away with a nice pile of gold and return to the cart. Grot putzes about town with the cart and you and Symon walk alongside it, and you try to identify the sword. (20+0) you find out its a basic +1 shortsword... But somehow, with your knowledge of magic, you tamper with the magics and it someone becomes something better; as if you evolved the magic with your own magical essence. It has become a vanguard's shortsword +1.
Power (daily): use this power whenever you make a charge attack. If you hit with your charge attack, all allies within 10 squares of you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls and gain your charisma modifier (+3) to damage rolls until the start of your next turn.
Grot stares blankly for a bit and you all wind up at a dead end. As Grot moves the cart around, you hear him gasp and the cart stops moving as he jumps into the cart to grab his short sword and cower. Symon and Karl turn around and are met with two men in very familiar red cloaks who block your way! They each pull up a widow's knife and symon notices they aren't human whatsoever; their abnormally longer incisors make you think of vampire but they aren't pointed. You also hear one mumble to one, "If the big guy causes trouble, you know what to do."
They approach you as the one closer to Symon speaks to you both. "Welcome to Atkatla gentlemen. We are from a noble house from afar and noticed you two came in with a goblin on a cart with a... Man... We wish to see privately. His name is Aurel. Would you kindly bring us to him? We don't mean any trouble..."
Karl notices their words are lies except about the noble part and finding Aurel. Symon notices it too.
Aurel:After your new contact walks away, you see the red cloaked man stand before you, hood thrown back, revealing that he looks a little like someone you know, only... Younger and thinner. He has a widow's knife in hand and he grins maliciously and speaks in Quori; "Finally, I found you, Aurel! We have never had the chance to meet since you were gone before I was born, but I assure you, you know my father and my grandfather... And you should know what they want of you." He charges with blinding speed at you!
Weston:You turn and are met with that man who was following you, hood thrown back. "I did not mean to startle you my good man. I am a noble from a faraway land and I couldn't help but notice you as you walked into town. My name is Elzeny, and I saw you were with a man who is of great interest to me. His name is Aurel, and I only wish to speak with him." He seems honest enough. He tosses you a handkerchief that is very ornate. "And please, wipe your tears my good sir, there will be no need for those." You hear a familiar grunt farthur down the alleyway.
Bouchart:The man grins a little as he walks towards you. "Little thief aren't ya?" He makes a weird half hiss half gurgling noise. "Here I was going to hire ya to help me before I kill ya, but now ya gone and angered me, so I'll kill you now, ya runt!"
Nadarr:You look up and the woman grins at you. "I'm here to give you an opportunity, dragonborn, and the only way you'll listen is if I got you in this position. I know you're close with Aurel, and I would have you know I'm hunting him. You bring me to him, I'll see to it you're rewarded immensely." She even gives a seducing wink as she extends her hand. You DO seem to see her as attractive for a non-human human.
Grot:Grot cowers in the wagon and keeps the sword handy. He turns around in the wagon and starts praying to the great goblin gods for strength and courage.
