Forboding HADB castle No. 3

Originally posted by Neb: As they ate, the sorcerer told them of why he was there, "My name is Neb, I am searching for an ancient treasure trove rumored to contain mighty artifacts and books of magic, but so far I've had no luck in my search, though I have learned that it is somewhere in this area," Neb reaches for the salt and winces painfully, "Augh! Damn it, I think I just tore open my wound again," A dark red stain on the back of his robe, near his right shoulder starts to spread, Neb says, "Do any of you two know any healing spells?"

Hiram grunts while chewing on a chunk of meat and point to Breanna, then goes back to eyeing the wench again. "You do have a one-track mind sometimes, Hiram," chuckles Breanna. "I can help you with your wound." She touches the sorcerers right shoulder. He feels a warmth spread through the wound and deep into the muscles. After a couple of minutes, Breanna returns to her seat. "There. Is that better? Now, about your quest. It seems we may be seeking the same trove. I, too am on a search for an ancient magical tome called The Book of Surchine. Shall we join forces and share in the bounty? By the way...let me formally introduce myself. I am Lady Breanna and my distracted companion here is Hiram."...

..... Neb almost chokes on his food, when he recovers he says, "The Book of Surchine? I've heard of it, but I NEVER believed that it might be in the treasure trove, thanks for the healing spell, I took a hit from a dragon's claw, it was quite a deep wound, I managed to get some others as well, most of the others have healed though."

"You are welcome for the healing. I have some herbs you can add to your ale that will help with the rest." Breanna hands a small packet to Neb. "As for the book, I can only hope that it indeed is there, in the Boogre Bear's lair. I have searched for it for many years. I have followed several false leads. But I will continue my search until my demise. It contains some of the most potent magical spells ever imagined. I wish to learn them and use one, in particular, to heal the land. Much evil has been springing up over the last few years and I feel that spell will quell the evil. For a while anyway. What interests you in the treasure trove? Or is it just to see what is there?"...

..... "Well, in addition to whatever else may be there, three things in particular interest me, the Sceptre of Time, the Tetrahedron of Power and the Ring of Revenge, they will be useful for any adventuring mage such as myself, but besides that I hope to use them to seal away the Shadelord for all eternity, I managed to banish him from this plane the last time we fought, but I suspect that he might be able to escape again, also, I want to see if there are any powerful items which can be used for divination purposes as I've had to dodge assasins several times on my way here." Just as Neb finishes his sentence, a dark-clad figure bursts through the door with a crossbow in his hands, the figure fires the crossbow at Neb, but the aim is off and the bolt sticks in Neb's sleeve instead of his head as was intended.....

Neb looks with disgust upon the dwarf as Hiram wolfs down his food with abandon. “Do tell, dwarf. Where are you from?” Hiram doesn’t even look up as he says “That’s fer me to know and you to wonder about, mageling” Breanna chides Hiram with a glance and replies to Neb’s inquiry. “Hiram is from far north in a mountainous region. I know this because of his last name. I studied dwarven geography and their language when I was a child. I’ve had a fondness for them for quite some time. She then looks at her companion and speaks in fluent dwarven. “Your noble heart beats strong, my friend. I am happy to have such a trustworthy friend.” Hiram drops his hill giant thigh bone and looks amazed. He replies in his language, “Thank you for the kindness, Breanna. Thy trust will not go unrewarded.”

Neb feels quite left out during this entire exchange and starts fiddling with his rice cakes. As the altercation starts with the assasin, Hiram rises quickly and grabs his hammer. Breanna starts to speak in the low guttteral language of the arcane.

Neb is about to cast a spell upon the first assasin when a second assasin breaks through a window and comes flying into the room, hitting Neb in the back and throwing him to the floor, Neb's spell is distorted and instead of consuming the first assasin in flames it causes one of the tables to come to life, the living table gallops out of the door and down the road.....

EDIT: Okay guys - still gotta run, but we'll have to clean this interaction up a bit to make it flow smoother!

With quick reflexes, Breanna flicks her hand at the figure and it disintegrates. She then sets about warding the inn. Since it is not a large structure, it does not take very long. Hiram fights off two more, smashing into them with his hammer. Neb eliminates three more before the wards are set. Once set, all three can breathe again for a moment..."Not these things again!" grumbles Hiram. "Yes, we've seen what can do in a small village some days ride from here," Breanna informs Neb. "Are these things after you? And are you hurt?"

OOC: Okay - gotta go for a while, lunchtime and then some work. Back in a while. I will check in though to see if it's "my" turn. C-ya in a bit!

OOC: Also just had to add - GOOD stuff there Hiram! I especially like the bit about me knowing the Dwarven language! COOL! Could come in handy later!

Have fun while I'm away boys! (teehee)

...... "Yes, these things have been chasing me for some time now, making two attempts to kill me while I rested at the ORT building, they've hunted me all the way here, I do not know if they have been hired to eliminate me or if they are followers of the Shadelord, but many of them are quite skilled, this group must have been apprentices, sent to test our strength before the stronger ones arrive, they also number mages and clerics among their number, many of these are skilled in shadow and life draining magics."

"Very well. Enemy of my enemy is my friend" Hiram replied. "I'm not speaking for Lady Breanna now, but I would suggest we rest up and make a plan." There is a grove nearby that is only for people of noble hearts. Ifn yer a noble mage, then you won't be have'n any problems there. You two can do that spell memberizing thing and I can get some sleep." Breanna agreed with her companion and gathered her things. Hiram and Neb carefully stepped outside to see if there were any more assasins. Neb turned toward the dwarf and said "I usually have no use for your kind, but you may travel with me to help me reach my goals." Hiram peered up at Neb and replied "You can stuff your cynicism in a sack mister mage" "I'm here to help the lady"

Breanna joined the two and was ready to travel once more.
