Dungeon Master (GM):Hello Folks! Maevis Silverleaf:Hello Balen:evening all Dungeon Master (GM):Hermit Legend and maybe Devin are also
coming in. Jack J.:good evening Dungeon Master (GM):ok, we can get underway here. We left
off, just after cutting down the native from between the snake statues. Jack J.:did we search the area? Dungeon Master (GM):oh yes that you did do and found 2 sacks
with coins and gold discs and a coil of finely made rope. #NWP-Investigation Zura The Human Fighter Says, "Thank you for saving me." Jack J.:Sheila is down to just 1 CLW, we could use a rest Zura The Human Fighter Says, "I am Zura, son of the Matriarch of Tanaroa
Waycombe" [This is a fellow you are actually looking for!] Maevis Silverleaf The Half Elf Bard Says, "Why were you tied up here?" Zura The Human Fighter Says, "I was caught trying to enter the city stealthly
and because of whom i am they recoqnized me and felt i was fit for a
feast." Zura The Human Fighter Says, "You see. My people fear the Forbidden City and will
not come past the tar pits south of here. But, I needed to see for myself what
is going on here." Jack J.:I dont know the background of the quest can you fill
me in quickly? Balen The Human Bard Says, "If you are the son of the Matriarch, won't she
be sending someone to FIND you? How did you get captured?" Dungeon Master (GM):Ok, Simply put, you were given the quest
when it was learned by the Matriarch that you were coming to the Forbidden city
and she feared that this is where her son disappeared to when others refused to
take a stand against the Yuan-Ti, when it was learned they were up to no good. Jack J.:ok thanks Dungeon Master (GM):you're welcome! Zura:I think i answered Balen's question for him! He now
remembers he was given the quest as a side mission. Balen The Human Bard Says, "Or are WE supposed to be the "rescue
party"?" Balen The Human Bard looks to the others and nods his head toward the way they
came Balen The Human Bard Says, "So we grab the kid here, head out the way we
came and we are done? Is THAT the plan?" Maevis Silverleaf: Maevis Silverleaf The Half Elf Bard Says, "We are the rescue party I'm thinking" Zura:hmmm, ok, this game doesn't have a handout where it
least the quests given by npcs and if you accomplished it. Maevis Silverleaf: Maevis Silverleaf The Half Elf Bard Says, "I would like to try to get to this city, just so
I can say that I saw it." Jack J.:Coal: Should we bring him back, and come back and do
some more exploring? Zura The Human Fighter Says, "I can return to the jungle, and hide there till
i recover, and then head back to Tanaroa, I will tell my mother you are
here." Balen The Human Bard Says, "Hmmmm, ok, so maybe, should we know WHY it's
called The FORBIDDEN City? Zura, do you know?" Coal Blackstone The Human Ranger Says, "And can you tell us anything about it?" Zura The Human Fighter Says, "It was forbidden because the ancient Kopru, once
lived here." Balen The Human Bard Shrugs, Says, "And should we know who, or WHAT a Kopru
is?" Coal Blackstone The Human Ranger Says, "what aKopru?" Zura: Zura, describes the Kopru, as amphibians of great
intelligence and power. Their heads are smooth with large eyes and a tentacled, sphinctered mouths. They have human-like torsos
and two arms ending in webbed, clawed hands. From the waist down their bodies
consist of three fluke-like tails, each ending in a sharp ripping claw. Zura The Human Fighter Says, "The city has since been inhabited by other, like
the Yuan-Ti. Because of the evil here and to protect my people from getting
killed. The city was Forbidden." Zura The Human Fighter Says, "Be careful here, there are other in the temple
including the yuan-ti priest that ordered me tied up here, headhunters, newts
of fire, and lizard men." [anything more to say
to Zura?] Balen The Human Bard Says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Let's get back to the
"Because of the evil here". Care to elaborate?" Coal Blackstone The Human Ranger Says, "Zura, What are you not telling us? Are you
holding back?" Maevis Silverleaf The Half Elf Bard Says, "Yuan ti headhunters newts of fire, what more do
we need?" Zura The Human Fighter Says, "When the evil Kopru took over the city as their
own, my ancestors fled the city and forbade us to ever return. They built the
huge gate that protects the city and others of my people set up villages on
other smaller isles around it." Coal Blackstone The Human Ranger Says, "I would be suprised if there isnt someone or
something that all the denizens are afraid of or obey" Zura The Human Fighter Says, "I believe mongrelmen and tasloi dwell in the
city as well." Freeman3294:Hey guys sorry im late Zura The Human Fighter Says, "The Yuan-Ti mention of their Demon Lord
Sertrous. It's the lord this temple is dedicated to." Hello Freeman!
Freeman3294:Hey what did I miss?
