[ic=Ded]
"By the Pale Lady!", Ded muttered as he braced himself, "That little halfling better not screw up my mission"[/ic]

Captain Obvious · October 14, 2006, 04:28:10 PM

[ooc] Ooh, mission is it? i'm intruigued.
BTW, do you have a physical description/past/some fluff description of Ded up here anywhere?
The original posting of your character looks like it's just crunch.[/ooc]

Endless_Helix · October 14, 2006, 05:28:21 PM

[ooc] Yeah... It's just crunch. But since he's a changeling.... Descriptions are kind of pointless... I'll reveal his history as it comes to me. The I've got the basics though.[/ooc]

Captain Obvious · October 14, 2006, 11:51:35 PM

[ic=Jeroen] Gathering his Raven, Jeroen heads up the stairs to the cabins and gestures for the others to follow.[/ic]

[ooc] I see.
What book are changelings from anyways? and what kind of stuff can they do? Like, can they actually shapechange, or is it just minor facial features?[/ooc]

[ic=Blackjack] Blackjack follows Jeroen up the stairs, repeatedly muttering curses in Halfling, and making up more as he thinks of other insulting things to say about Elves.[/ic]

[ooc]They're from the Ebberon Campaign Setting/Races of Ebberon books. They can basically use Disguise Self at will, except that the result is real instead of illusory. A true seeing spell reveals their true nature, and (my house rule) another changeling can tell a changeling on sight through pheromones. But of course, on the black market, you can buy OTHER pheromones...[/ooc]

[ic]You find yourselves in a small stone corridor, with steps spiralling upwards around an inner core, from which the noise seems to be emanating. Cracks in the core's boards flash blue and green light, giving the staircase an eerie look.[/ic]

Endless_Helix · October 15, 2006, 10:42:26 AM

[ooc] Good to know that I can spot changelings. That could be useful. [/ooc]

[ic=Ded] Ded gathers himself and begins up the staircase, on guard, and prepares to try to apologize if anything the halfling says gets too out of hand.[/ic]

Wensleydale · October 15, 2006, 10:52:24 AM

[ooc]Are you in genderless, natural form at the moment, or another?[/ooc]

Darkxarth · October 15, 2006, 11:30:46 AM

[ic=Blackjack] Blackjack simply continues to go up the stairs, still quietly voicing his thoughts about the Elf's parentage and mumbling statements disparaging his masculinity.[/ic]

Captain Obvious · October 15, 2006, 01:49:43 PM

[ic= Jeroen ] Upon arriving in the cabins (assuming we are not interrupted before we reach them) Jeroen closes the door and speaks to Wastep.
" Now that we have some privacy from those elves, you need to tell us everything you have learned, and then all of us need to decide what to do abou this mysterious package. Do we know where we need to pick it up yet? "

[ooc] Currently Ded looks like a human male with brown hair amd average height and weight (5'9" and about 150)[/ooc]

Wensleydale · October 15, 2006, 02:05:40 PM

[ooc]Good good.[/ooc]

[ic]You aren't interrupted.[/ic]

[ic=Wastep]Wastep closes his eyes and begins reciting from memory:
The Black City is in the center of the Wastes of Dorum--it's very, very old. The books I read mentioned Elvish and Elemental writings on the buildings--I can read elven of course; but not Aquan or Terran. I don't know of anything that speaks that anymore. Some mages, maybe? There were references to the spirits Limuet spoke of--ghosts, apparently; among other things--details are lacking. Several cases of insanity are also recorded, but I couldn't find a cause or even specific symptoms. From the way Limuet talked, it sounded permanent, but I doubt she ever took the time to learn about mental ailments.

[ooc]I embellished a little rather than straight up copying and pasting. If anything's incorrect, Wastep simply guessed wrong. :)
[/ooc]

Wensleydale · October 15, 2006, 04:37:48 PM

[ooc]I'm willing to go into downtime whenever you want. ;)[/ooc]

Captain Obvious · October 15, 2006, 10:23:13 PM

[ic= Jeroen ]
" Hmm...The Aquan and Terran may cause trouble. I cannot speak any, and i do not know the spell of tongues. Perhaps one of you are able to, but it not, be should either hire a sage, or look about gaining a scroll that would allow this. Are any of you capable of dealing with hostile spirits? For that matter, have you encountered them before. If no one else has, i suggest we follow my lead if we encounter them since i have seen them once or twice before. The madness though... I know of no way to deal with this. I guess we must simply bolster our wills and hope for the best. "
