CH. 14: Darkest Hour

[TristenC]

[That works, thanks jaded.]

"Gobax" will be around the market or High Hand so Shima should be able to find him easily enough. He will go with the dwarf once asked.

[Chris1234]

Shima will look for Gobax around taverns, inns & the market until either found or the day ends.
If found, "The person that gave us the job wants to see you to assess if you can help finish it off. That could give you the access you want.Going to come along?"

[JadedDM]

Kendra Synclair (Prefect's Mansion)
Norris nods. "I'll try. I just...didn't realize how much I relied on you. I don't have any family in this city, other than you. So I've been stuck in this room, by myself, for a month with no visitors beyond yourself. I feel like I'm going a bit mad, actually." He takes her hand in his and tries to smile.

[HorizonsDream]

Kendra looks down at their hands, and can't help but feel a few pangs of guilt. ~He just needs comfort right now,~ she thinks to herself. "I'll try to visit more until I can get you out. I should probably do that with my family too," she adds thoughtfully.

[JadedDM]

Kendra Synclair (Prefect's Mansion)
Norris nods and lets go of her hand. "I know you're doing what you can. It's just hard to hold on to hope in a place like this, nice as it may seem. Once this is settled and I can go home, we can be a family again and hopefully get things back to normal."

[TristenC]

[was Shima able to find Gobax? He will go with the dwarf once asked.]

[BishGada]

Glad that he had casted the protection spell successfully, Tulbas now casts 'Grease' spell around Jinali in hopes to keep her at bay. He also tries to keep distance from her as he recognizes the 'Shocking grasp' spell, as he is familiar with it too and practiced it a lot.

'Solid ground turns slippery,
Stable legs fumble,
Every step becomes treachery,
Will you care to gamble?'

======================================================================
(OOC: I assumed since Tulbas has learned shocking grasp himself, he can recognize it with Jinali)

[Haahque]

Haahqae will ask Miracle to enter via the hole and see if she can scout out the room/hallway that these cells are leading to. If it appears that there are more cells on the inside, he'll ask her to see if there's any gnomes or ferrits in any of said cells, if she can safely find out.

[JadedDM]

Haahqae (Outside Prefect's Mansion)
After an hour, Miracle finally returns. She reports there are rooms in the middle, but she detected no scent of anyone inside them, gnomish, ferret or otherwise.

Tulbas Erogund (Tower of Wayreth, Unknown Floor on AT 15)
Jinali lunges at Tulbas with her shocking hands, but it's a wild swing and he's able to get away from her and cast his spell. A puddle of grease forms at her feet. She begins slipping and sliding, but manages to get off the grease without falling.

Initiative
Tulbas (1d10+1): 9+1 = 10
Jinali (1d10+1): 6+1 = 7

Round 6!

Jinali attempts to touch Tulbas with Shocking Grasp while he is shielded (-6 hit) [TN 10] (1d20-6): 8-6 = 4, miss.
Tulbas casts Grease beneath Jinali 7 rounds.
----Jinali saves to stay on her feet [TN 12] (1d20): 18, pass.

(OOC: Actions for Round 7?)

Gobax (Market Street)
(OOC: I would assume so, unless there's some reason he wouldn't find you.)

[TristenC]

Then Gobsx goes with Shima

[Chris1234]

"I call her 'Jane' but actually have no idea of her real name. Apparently I'm 'John'," explains Shima en route. "I think it's something I started but I don't remember why."

He leads Gobax to the Grinning Goat and looks for the 'employer' (although the payment was to be in information.)

[HorizonsDream]

"Is there a normal after all of this?" Kendra asks. "You're married to a so called hero now."

[TristenC]

Gobax chucklesas he follows, Jane and John? Am i to be re-named as well?

Grubnick does the hourly check necessary on Shima's wounds.

[Chris1234]

"If you want," replies Shima. "Janet would be an unexpected name."

[JadedDM]

Kendra Synclair (Prefect's Mansion)
"Perhaps, but I would settle for just being able to live in my own home, work at my job and be with my wife," Norris admits. "Even if the rest of the city changes, I would at least want that to keep me grounded."

Gobax and Shima (Grinning Goat Tavern)
The two head for the Grinning Goat and enter. It's a run down dive with shady clientele and staff. The bartender is a man with an eyepatch. Sitting at the bar is a lithe blond woman dressed in leather. She casts a glance at the pair when they enter and frowns upon seeing them. "What's this? Why did you bring a goblin here?" she asks impatiently.
