Act 2 Scene 2: “In Search of The Crown” (Game Thread)

[Nocturno]

He will lead the partial group to the front door.

Then burst out the front door after quietly unlocking it.

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLOOOOOO PEOPLE!"

[Chris1234]

Hearing no reply, Jerry shuts up.

[TristenC]

[Lol]
pyros moves through the house and bursts out the front! Only to realize he is on the opposite side of the building [West] from the barn... [East]

[mltillis]

Pytor grits his teeth before replying, anger tingeing upon his words. "I have no need for lies with you, domnișoară. With oamenii din oraș perhaps, but not with one of the people... I met Marta for the first time two nights ago. She knew the answers to the questions that have plagued me since my earliest days. Why I was left to be raised by Zanda. She wished for me to seek out my sister for aid. But that I can not do. I will not bring what follows upon another." Pytor returns the hammer to his belt. "Now if you will, I must be off. I should not dally too long in one spot."

[TristenC]

Adrestia stands stunned for a moment, as if poleaxed. Slowly her countenance changes from one of suspicion to... utter shock. S... sister... it... it can't be... You were... Reclaiming a bit of herself, she shakes off the stupor. In a more controlled voice she asks, My name is Adrastia Talindra Silvira... is this... familiar to you...?

[mltillis]

Pytor's anger fades and softens into a worried smile... "She said to give you her love... She is quite proud of you. Her words and thoughts drifted to you often over the last two days. Meeting you brings peace to my heart, knowing that there is another who will live on." He begins to walk towards his horse. "I must go. He will come for me. Tonight perhaps or a night many seasons from now, but he will come. Blood calls out for blood and he may seek to claim yours as well, if you are near."

[Nocturno]

Sheepishly Pyros goes back to meet with the rest of the group, pretty sure there is nothing else going on.

When he gets there, he asks Artanis... "Couldn't we track a cart? We tracked that wolfman back here..."

"Flock brother, do you see any other four legged beasts near by?"

[TristenC]

As Pytor moves to his horse, Adrastia gapes at the abrupt attempt. Wait! After all this time, you're just going to... Trotting behind him she takes hold of the horse's bridle so it won't take off. Who is hunting you? I don't know how much Marta told you but i've hunted abominations all my life. Some person hunting you is of no concern. I am traveling with these people for a time into the wild. If someone is hunting you, they will never find you where we're going.


As the gypsy woman is speaking, a trio of others finish jn the faem and join the rest ourside. One appears to be an Elven Child, of all things. Another is a young, blonde halfling woman, tall for her kind, and well armed and armored. The last is an elven man in mages robes with stark white hair and violet eyes. On his shoulder perches a raven fully 2 feet tall from beak to tail. As they step ourside, the raven takes flight, circling high.

The elven child speaks the redheaded man with the look of a woodsman. He checks the area near the barn and scrarches his beard. That's odd... wagon tracks go into the barn, but none come out... that's quite a trick...
In his head, Cross hears his familiar's response. No four-legs, no cages but those near you.

[Jenara]

Mira listens to the exchange silently, choosing for sometime not to speak... Not another one.. she muses.

"Wait, you two are related?" She finally speaks. "Ok, to anyone else this is going to sound pretty crazy, but.. were you somewhere else not so long ago? You were off doing something, or..." She sighs, "Leave the horse, come inside the house, Jerry has the right idea."

"Ok, I'm Mira, the cute couple are Jerry and Merrick, this is Adran, the Cute Blonde is Elsa, with her is Pyros (don't call him a thief), Cross is the one with the Raven on his shoulder. And finally Artanis is over there." She sighs once again. "We are all travellers, look, come in the house.. Sorry I didn't mean to be rude." Un notching the bolt she lets the crossbow fall over her shoulder again.

[Chris1234]

"Pleased to meet you," says Jerry with a curtsy. "As the good lady said, I'm Jerry."
Unless stopped, she goes inside and looks for a kettle to make some tea.

[mltillis]

"His name was Barsali when he lived. He was my cousin, though more like a brother to me. For a month now, he has haunted my dreams... Now he stalks my footsteps as well. There is nowhere that I will be able to evade him for long." Pytor looks Adrastia up and down. "If you have advice on such things, I would greatly welcome it. But I have earned my fate and would not see it visited upon you and your comrades."

Pytor turns to address Mira. "She is my sister. I was very young when the attack occurred. Too young to remain here safely. Marta sent me elsewhere, beyond this land... Two nights ago, Barsali's broken corpse chased me back."

As Jerry begins to turn away, Pytor steps away from Mira and Adrastia. "Milady, if I may?" Bowing deeply, he kisses the top of her hand. "This Mystra of whom you spoke is not known to me. Though I would suspect she is a deity of some note to have followers such as thee. I chose to ignore you and your words earlier and would apologize if you took it as a slight... You lack the hostile countenance and demeanor which your companions were presenting. When my weary mind perceived threats around me, you were not one... If I am not being to bold, may I" He offers Jerry his arm as they walk towards the farmhouse.

Adran quietly follows the others into the house.

[Jenara]

(Who is Adran talking to btw?)

[thawizkid]

Deleted

[Jenara]

"I think I understand, this place tends to draw you in. Bad Nightmares?" She asks conversationally.

Seeing that she had possibly gotten through to him she falls in behind the others her blade tapping her side which each movement.
