Errants of Waterdeep [RP Thread]
Remembering the task at hand, the warrior looks to the farmer and speaks.
' Haven't got the time for a good browsing at the er... local wares. You ever heard of Esroh? Perhaps know whereabouts one could find him?'

Danahg tells you 'yeah, luckily i kept most of it in my mouth and nasal membranes, ugh'
Dlur group-says 'I have a dead horse that I'm dragging down the shaft with my 4 corpses. Anyone want to help me beat it?'
Calladuran: There are other games to play if you want to play with yourself.

Thalidyrr nods to the halfling and begins making his way to Khaiden, tapping him on the shoulder "We should leave, and see what we can find. Obviously this village hasn't been much help, but atleast we have a starting point. We should go find Tasan."
Thalidyrr begins walking to where the shriek was heard from.

Tasan listens half-heartedly to the farmer's comments and notices the rest of the party making their way to him. He smiles broadly at the farmer and in a very sincere voice asks the farmer to relate where the hermit might live because he seeks a cure for his ailing mother.

In short order, information is exchanged and provisions are obtained, and the intrepid errants find themselves at a crossroads outside of Minthka. The road is less hilly here, and to the east a dusty dirt trail leads on to the Black Griffin Road.
OOC: If there's anything you want to buy or sell in town, just note it on your sheet. I'll assume that you were able to find it if you can afford it, unless it's really bizarre.

As the party begins their walk down Black Griffin Road, they notice that they are not alone. Heavy signs of wear indicate that the road is in continual use. While some signs are obvious, such as horses hooves, boot prints, and wagon tracks, others are less easily identified. The road itself is not properly paved, but is better described as an area cleared of undergrowth and worn with use.
A dark forest lies to the north, while the area east is hilly. A side path descends to the south, but no tracks can be seen following it.

Birile stops and ponders.
"I'm going to try this path to the south, see what I can find. I doubt a hermit would make his abode well-known to outsiders..."
Birile heads to the south.

Slipping into the shadows along the trail, the halfling quietly makes his way south. After a couple hundred feet, the distinct smell of smoke begins to fill his nostrils.
Creeping carefully closer to the source, he begins to hear sounds of activity further south.
OOC: Make Spot and Listen checks, please. :D

Birile hears harsh, guttural sounds and the scraping of metal on stone. It would seem that some sort of communication is taking place within earshot, but the bard does not understand the language used. He isn't able to spot the sources of the smoke or sounds.
After a moment there is a rustle of movement, and the guttural voice grows harsh before the movement stops.

Deciding the hermit wasn't so far removed from civilization to make such noises (and not feeling quite safe), Birile decides to make his way back to the group.

A visitor!
A dark-cloaked figure seems to emerge from the shadows of the nearby trees. The figure winks at the group and continues walking westwards.
"Beware, for there are Zhentarim nearby", says the figure as he vanishes over the road's crest.
Adriorn Darkcloak leaves west.

Khaiden takes a seat on a rock, looking around impatiently.
"What in the Nine Hells is taking him so long? I know he is vertically challenged and his legs don't carry him far...but..."
The half-elf sighs, shrugs, and picks up a small stone and hurls it against the nearest tree, watching it ricochet into the brush.
He glances up and over at Tasan and Thalidyrr.
"I'm of the mind that we go find out what's keeping our mischievous minstrel if he doesn't arrive in the next few minutes."
He hurls another rock, this time at the nearest crow.

The unfortunate bird is struck by the rock, and takes off with a violent cawing.
Birile emerges from the path, barely ducking out of the way as a furious crow flies through he space where his head just was. He seems to have returned without incident.
Still cawing loudly, the bird flies south into the hills.

Birile flinches and gives a nervous laugh.
"Uh... well, to report on what's to the south... I'm not quite sure, frankly. I ran into someone and I'm rather certain I was lucky not to be spotted. I heard something very much like someone talking, but it was rather... unrefined speech and I couldn't get the gist of what was being said. I didn't get so much as a look at what was going on. I'm all for finding out what's going on over yonder, but... well, I'd like a tall fellow like Thalidyrr or Tasan to stand behind when I find out!"

Khaiden arches an eyebrow while watching the crow fly off.
"I'm all for anything that gets us moving. If that means obliterating something in our way of moving forward, so be it."
A small, sly grin crosses his face, still watching the scavenger's flight.

Distant and eyes glazed, Tasan muses upon the question a bit before answering.
"Much as the wind blows, I will follow whatever path presents itself. I care not what we do, as long as we do it with some urgency."

Carefully, the group retraces Birile's footsteps. The scent of smoke is still there, having grown stronger, and the conversation continues. None of you can understand the language used.

OOC: Of course I didn't take any proficiencies in the Language portion of Knowledge...blah. :P

Shevarash OOC: 'what can I say, I'm attracted to crazy chicks and really short dudes'
Khaiden and Thalidyrr manage to make out movement behind a particularly thick area of vegetation. It seems likely that that is the source of the noise and smoke.
Whatever is in there, it seems larger than a normal human. Nor is it alone - occasional words of a harsh, guttural language reach your ears. Khaiden's half-elven ears pick up a higher-pitched, muffled sound.

Just as the party is attempting to figure out what sort of figure is moving about behind cover, Tasan carelessly dislodges a loose pebble. It clatters amongst some other stones, resulting in a surprisingly loud noise. Shouts and exclamations instantly burst from the other side of the vegetation.
OOC: Roll initiatives! This is a good place to showcase surprise rounds. You each may take one standard action during the surprise round, reflecting the fact that you are more ready to act than whomever you are spying upon.

Approximately 120 feet from where the intrepid adventurers lie in wait, movement betrays a second creature behind the same screen of vegetation - doubtless the other party in the conversation, just as far away as the first. The land slopes gently away from the party and downward towards the speakers. There is no shortage of plant growth in this hilly land.
OOC: Initiatives - Thalidyrr, Birile, Khaiden, Tasan
The surprise round consists of just one standard action each (which can be used to take a move action if you prefer.) Thus, examples of valid actions include: shoot a bow, cast a spell, switch weapons, move behind a bush for concealment. See the link for details.

Thalidyrr sees the motion ahead and as things begin to unfold he breaks out into a flat out run, attempting to reach the unknowns ahead of him.
OOC: That'll be my round. Just moving as close as possible, so next one I can actually get an attack in.

'I'd see your bet, but unfortunately I'd be broke if I lost. Most likely I would.'
'However....' he says as he nods towards the two racing into the fray.
'What the hell. 10 gold says the halfling falls short,' the mage says with a heavy emphasis on the last word.

Two ruddy brown, hyena-headed humanoids break through the foilage, pausing only briefly when they see the group, and pushing forward to meet the two charging at them. They are clad in crude leather wrappings, bearing shields and axes in their hands.
OOC: Initiatives - Thalidyrr, gnolls, Birile, Khaiden, Tasan.
The enemies are now 30' away from Thalidyrr, 40' away from Birile, and 60' away from Tasan and Khaiden.

Thalidyrr continues his rush at his opponents, he could smell them from far enough back to realize what they were.

As he catches sight of the gnolls, Birile thinks to himself, Geez, they look a heck of a lot like a cleric I once knew.
As he sees Thalidyrr attack the first of the gnolls, Birile takes aim at the second one with his bow.

Thalidyrr dashes forward, driving his fist into an unprotected spot on the first gnoll. Augmented by the elf's ki, the blow stuns the gnoll. Its eyes take on a glassy sheen, and the axe drops from its hand while its shield dangles loosely.
The second gnoll closes with the monk, perhaps to protect its ally, perhaps simply eager for blood. Its axe strikes Thalidyrr a grazing blow even as Birile's arrow whistles overhead.
OOC: It is in melee, so there's a -4 ranged penalty to hit it without hitting your ally . . . which more than counters the -2 AC from charging.
Thalidyrr takes 3 damage.
Gnoll 1 takes 6 damage and stun.
