* Is out like a light*

Follows the old man, hand on sword hilt, wary of where he will lead him

Grunts and follows the old man,standing as erect as a kobold can get.

Ian leads you into a back alley. He hastily explains, "It is not safe here. You are one of many... people to arrive this day. More are fated to arrive the next. You are not safe, none of you are, no matter where you go. My, ah, employers have prevented me from saying more, but find Duncan mac Greggor. He is an assosciate, he can help you."

Ian gives you directions to Duncan's house. It is a few miles to the east. He also tells you that Duncan frequents The Rusty Blade, a local tavern. The wiry old fellow then bolts off into the shadows.

Mounts his pony ((I forgot I had this bad boy)) and rides towards duncan's house.

(open lock: 17 +3 = 20)

The door unlocks, allowing the afternoon sun to shine in. Outside in the alley all you see are a few tattered shreds of clothing and a scorched area of cobblestone.

I snatch one of the scraps of clothing and hurriedly shut the door before attempting to re-lock it.

[Purely out of character: It might be a good idea to bracket comments, like this.]

((this is also a good way ))

"Damn"

Johan and Alastar

The shred of clothing appears to be made from burlap. It is scorched around the edges. Fascinating.

Ryu

You begin riding toward Duncan's house. Arrival to be detailed later...

---

Torg

You awake with a groan. Your head hurts and you feel like you just chugged a few gallons of dwarvish ale. Speaking of dwarves, one is poking you in the ribs with a stick.

"Get up," he says gruffly. The stout fellow is well armed and armored, and seemingly incarcerated in the same small cell as you. You have all your equipment.

"That durn fool dark man get ye?" the dwarf asks.

Rukh, you have just arrived in Inverness. Oddly enough, no one seems to notice your unusual heritage. The commoners seem preoccupied, and your warrior instinct tells you that not all is right with the town...

Ryu

You arrive at a small cabin as the sun begins to set. It is plain and appears to be abandoned. You see no sign of activity in the area.

Inside the shack, I turn my head, thinking I heard something. Another visitor? I wonder.

[Listen: 19 +4 = 23 (!)]

Well all he said was I`d be useful thats all thn I guess he cast a spell on me.....* I look at the dwarf rolling a 23 wohoo does he have any nordic items on him? I speak in Norse* < Are you from around here or Scandanavia?>

Perhaps...

I send my viper to peek out from under the door.

Taking my hat off as the sun set, I take in a deep breath then ride around the cabin, looking for any form of foot trail or the like.

Spot: 15 -1 = 14

"Quit yer jabberin'! Are ye gonna help me find a way outta 'ere er not?"

The stocky dwarf begins testing each bar in the cell, to little avail. "Moradin's hammer! I've ne'er seen such solid construction from all ye daft tall elfies er whate'er ye are. I think we be waitin' fer a bit..."

*I search the cell myself 12+4=16*

Johan and Alastar

Your viper spots a pair of booted feet before being slammed into the wall as Duncan bursts in.

"We must move again. Time is against us. They know you are hiding here, and there are others as well. We leave for my cabin, to the east."

He leads you out onto the street, where three white steeds wait patiently. "I hope you can ride," he says dryly, hopping on the nearest.

I pick up and cuddle my beloved familiar as I follow him, and hop on a horse.

I should be able to control the animal, unless we get into combat...

[This is going to be fun.]

I hop on a horse and prepare to follow Duncan.

You find nothing of interest. Whoever has imprisoned you has done so well.

Soft footsteps echo outside the cell as a cloaked figure stops in front of your cell.

"Ah, both of you are awake. Good. The Master requires you be conscious for the ritual."

The dwarf does not seem to like his situation and boldly proclaims, "Too bad ye won't be! Lemme outta 'ere and I'll turn ye into meat stew! I'll drink the blood from yer skull! I'll-" He is cut short by some unseen force and collapses on the floor. The dark figure sighs, "I wish he wouldn't do that... No matter, time is on our side. I'll see you in a few hours."

*I keep quiet *

Rukh stands near entrance of city, trying to decide which way to go.
*GRMBPLMGRMLP*
"Neeeeed foooood."
That direction is as good as any, he decides and begins slowly walking ahead desperately seeking for opportunities to earn lunch.

Johan and Alastar

You arrive at Duncan's cabin. A kobold is milling about the place and notices your arrival.

---

Ryu

You note the arrival of a human, half-elf and elf.

---

All

"You must be Ryu, the kobold. Ian informed me you might be here. Come... we should rest inside, it grows late. Kenji has been taken care of, he is already here. We have much to do in the morning..."
