Stay frozen for a second. Wait for anything else to happen. Nothing? Good. "I should probably continue with my job..." shaking off the horrible feeling, I will head towards the nearest person, and ask them if there is a good way to find a specific person in this city.

Nobody gave me a he or she, I'm pretty sure I assumed male. Oh well, it was late. Anyone has a problem with their gender then tell me.

Tarran Smith

You try to rise from your bunk, [Soak roll 2+1] and a shooting pain goes through your chest. You manage to sit up in bed, but you don't think you're up to walking yet. A young Tamir priestess sees you moving and walks over, offering you a small bowl of broth, her four eyes watch you intently. It smells good, and being hit in the chest with a bit of masonry gave you something of a hunger, you drink a few swallows before she takes it away again. Never saying a word, you're kind of glad, the voice coming from the stomach thing is a little strange at this best of times. The broth is nice, warming and surprisingly filling. You entertain a brief thought of just going back to sleep, then the voices come back.

"Can - It - Understand - Us?" Heavens above, the voice is addressing you, specifically you. You wonder if strange voices are a standard part of being blasted by magical rubble.


Lür Celant

You head to the tower, crossing through the outer ring of lean-to hawkers and the shining inner ring of permanent shops. Crowds have already begun to gather around the smoking tower, and you have to squeeze your way to the front to take a look at the square. Watchers are combing it, putting every piece of rubble into large stone pots bound with rune inscribed lead straps. They certainly aren't taking any chances with this stuff. Now, you could offer you inestimable services to one of the guards now, and hope for good things to happen. At best you'll get a job analyzing bits of rubble, it might pay well if you found something though. On the other hand you could try to get one of the bits of rubble, examine it yourself, and then turn your findings over and claim you know exactly what caused this. It probably won't be true, but anything for a bit of shine and jangle.


Marcus Zeicaust

After the awful feeling fades you continue on with the job, asking one of the folk about how to find a specific person in the city. The elderly woman laughs so hard she nearly drops her basket and you feel that she's in danger of creaking apart. "Find someone? Every mother knows a spell to find her children, you just have to have something personal. When people don't have something personal that's when they find people like you." She hobbles away, continuing to laugh wheezily. Crazy old woman. Not deterred you make some general inquiries about your mark, [Luck 4] [Gather Information 5+1] from man claiming to be the lover of one the girls the ritualist murdered you get some general information about the ritualist himself, as well as a silver ring that used to belong to the murdered girl.

The ritualist's name is Elerion Kiel, a Aoul with heavy scarring on his right hand. Supposedly he travels from place to place in the city, murdering in the victims own house. Of course that means he was able to bypass the wards that protect those homes, so he must have found a way to become an invited guest.


Varmin Zero

Remarking on your general dislike of towers you look around. The temple of Tulm is a large square building with a flat ceiling, carving decorates everything. The room your in now has a couple rows of pews behind another couple rows of kneeling pads. The altar itself is as high as your chest, inlaid with silver and platinum. A slim rune covered dagger for taking vows is balanced on the altar, the edge of the knife looks to be of bright Holikite. Three doors lead off of the room, behind you is the door to the outside, to your left is the door to the priests quarters, and to your right is the door to the wing reserved for all who shelter in the temple, recently converted into an infirmary for the victims of the blast.


Eveyo

You're out of the blast zone but you help a few people who were injured by the blast, [Luck 3] watchers come and take them off your hands after a bit. Probing their wounds none too gently for any embedded pieces of rubble. Interesting. The people who don't have actual wounds you help as best you are able, setting a shoulder here and helping calm a skitzy horse there. All the while talking about the complete lack of protection the Gods are giving, Reactions range from grim nods to laughs, with a fair amount of scowling and walking off thrown in. After helping right a small peddlers cart you find something peculiar, a shard of hot marble that doesn't cool in your hands.

[Magic roll 2] Your abilities are in ritual work, and while you know something like this would be a powerful component of power, you can't fathom what created it or how so much energy got trapped inside and bound.

"God, Tarran, you're hearing things. Calm down, they aren't real." Get ready to stand.

Yes, I do intend to ignore the gods for as long as possible. Or at least until I get bored. :P

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Oh.

In that case, I'll ignore them for twice as long, since unlike gods they can't smite me in an instant. :P

Hmm, now isn't this interesting, see if i can't get closer to the blast to investigate, and snare a few more shards

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!

ask to help collect rubble
...What? That doesn't make sense. You're going to ask people if you can help collect rubble? Why would you need to ask?

Yes it does make sense, and no the Watchers aren't going to let you unless you pass a helluva speech check. Too great a chance you'll pocket something.

Think of the rubble of a magical explosion like the rubble from exploding dirty bomb, there's all kinds of interesting stuff in it that normal people shouldn't have. Like that shard Eveyo got a hold of.

Oh, you're right, it does.

Anyway, can you put the names of the player on the statuses so I don't have to check the first post every time I want to know? Because everyone but me picked a name vastly different from their forum name.

Continue asking around, and start pondering on how lucky I am. If I'm feeling lucky, start looking randomly for an Aoul of that description.

Spoiler: Eveyo/Wolfchild (click to show/hide)


Tarran

You prepare to swing your legs out of bed and actually stand up, now that you've been awake for a couple of minutes the pain has receded to a general throb in your chest. You also spend some quality time ignoring the voices in your head.

"Oh for all the broken swords at Idiira! Centuries trapped and not only do we get a shaman savage, he's an unbeliever too." As the voice speaks you begin to develop the shadow of a headache, more like something in your head is having a headache. Silence reigns in your head for a few minutes before the other voice breaks in. "... I admit this is not how I expected to be awakened. He'll come around, we would not have been placed in him if he would not.  The first voice cuts in again with a bit of acid. "Yes, I'm sure that's it. There's no possible way we have been abandoned as a lost gambit." With that the voices in your head brood in silence.


Lür Celant

You bow with a flourish to the guards and introduce yourself as Lür Celant, a professional in the the field of magical mishaps. You inform the guard of your indispensable services. [Lie 2 + Speech 3+1 Vs Difficulty 10] The heavily built human stares at you and says absolutely nothing, his hands finger an ornate man-catcher though.

You don't think you impressed him.


Marcus Zeicaust

You continue asking questions around in the slums, [Luck 1] you don't find anyone else willing to talk about him and you feel that one of those people was distinctly on your Mark's side. Best keep all bodily fluids to yourself until the man is dead. You ponder your luck and draw out a thin copper coin, tossing it into the air. [Luck 3] It lands with the worn image of the Tower of Lords up.


Varmint Zero

You walk out of the temple and into the square, rubble is strewn here and there, and a pair of Watchmen immediately move to flank you and escort you away from the square. Several groups of people are collecting rubble and placing it into binding urns, [Magic 3] it isn't anything certain but you pick up a general vibe of heavy magic coming off the rubble.


Eveyo

You work your way through the gathering throngs, [Search 4-1 crowd] searching through every nook and cranny you can conveniently search on the way through. If you hadn't been looking for it you wouldn't have seen it, but in a planter under a sill you find another piece of marble. It's smaller than the last one, only as large as the last joint of your thumb, the power though is the same. Your added height lets you see over the heads of the rest of the crowd, and into the square. The Shadow side of the tower wasn't too badly damaged, and consequently there aren't as many Watch on this side of the river.
