Today! ??? - The Hermit Legend New Player coming in for 4/25/20 game: Rogue – High Elf – Rita Slate - Pardis Game Summary for Saturday (04/18/2020): Opening Scene: Day 1: April 18; 10:00 am The party has been traveling the Timori road heading
for the town of Kellee, approaching from the east, looking for work, when a
wanted poster is spotted nailed to a tree for some fellow named Elgin the Wolf,
for murdering 5 citizens of Kellee, with a reward of 1,000 gold coin pieces and
signed by the town Reeve Dominond. A young fellow of average build, in his late teens,
with close cropped hair and gray eyes, wearing a leather cuirass and armed with
a footman’s mace, a young fellow haning by the road, sees the party and
approaches them. He wonders if the party is just passing through
Kellee or perhaps staying awhile and tells them his name is Eadgils. The party tells him they are looking for a place to
stay and if Eadgils knew Elgin. Eadgils mentions that they could stay at the Tall Mug
Inn. Xenia, invites him for a drink there later and Eadgils, accepts. Eadgils says, “ Oh
Elgin, is wanted for the murders around town. Go see Dominond the Reeve at town
hall over there (Points towards building)." The party then makes their way to
the town hall, hoping to see the Reeve and question about Elgin. The Town Hall is one of the
largest buildings in the whole of Kellee. It has sturdy stone walls and is
covered with a roof of thick terracotta tiles. The Town Hall is made up of
three sections. Rahfen and Barous start to enter the building when one of the
two guards stationed out front tells them to halt and state their business. After informing them about the wanted poster for Elgin and
wanting to see the Reeve about it. One guard enters and lets Dominond know
there is an interested party for the job. Moments later, the guard returns,
announces the party presence and waves them on inside. Dominond is setting behind a large wooden desk in a red wing
backed chair. Behind him is a fireplace with a portrait of what looks like the Reeve when he was a young man, sitting on the mantel
piece. There are two plush stools between the office’s door and the Reeve’s
desk, for visitors to use. The hardwood floor is mostly covered by an ornate
but worn rug, that is burgundy in color, with gold trim. As the party comes in
the door, the Reeve motions them in with a beckoning wave. He points to the
stools, and says, “Sit, sit” Reeve Dominond sees he needs more seats than the two stools in
his office provides, tells the guards to bring in a couple benches and tells
the party they have 5 minutes until a scheduled meeting is supposed to arrive. The Reeve provides the following details about Elgin to the
party: "Elgin has
led a group of highwaymen that have plagued the roads of Tepest, and Nova Vaasa
for the last five years. About four and a half months ago he and his band
raided a silver mine on the northern border. They killed the four dwarves that
ran the mine and made off with a fortune in silver. Shortly after that, two
months later, Elgin went mad and killed all his men, seven of them. After that
he started killing people who live north of the village. He has killed five in
all. All lived on farms in the surrounding countryside. The victims have all
died from stab wounds.” "I
don't have enough town guards to spare more time to investigate the murders, so
thus why I am making an offer. The last murder happened a couple weeks ago. We
believe they all occurred at night and random as we do not see any connections” Reeve
Dominond, proceeds to retrieve and unfurl two maps, one of the town of Kellee
and one of the region of Tepest. He points out the Tall Mug Inn on the Kellee
map for the party. From outside a guard announces
the Reeve’s next meeting has arrived, some fellow named Ingeld. As the party
files out of the town hall they greet and are greeted by Ingeld. Ingeld is a tall plump man, with a shaven head and a
pointed red beard. He wears a tunic style robe, that comes down to a few inches
below his knees. Ingeld’s robe has gold and silver coins sown to its trim. The
rest of the robe is a deep crimson. The party proceeds to the Tall Mug
Inn with Xenia hoping she could perform some tunes while there. When the
building is in sight and then enter this is what they see: The Tall Mug Inn is a long two-story building on the west side
of town. It is on the north side of the Timori Road, directly across from the
stables. The Inn, like most of the buildings in Kellee, has tall whitewashed
walls with dark timber supports and crossbeams. Large ornate flowers decorate
the front wall of the inn. Unlike most other buildings in the village the roof
of the Tall Mug is made of heavy terracotta tiles. The main entrance of the inn
opens into the dining room of the inn's tavern. It is a long low-ceilinged room
with a bar on the far end. Eight heavy oak tables are staggered down the length
of the room. As soon as they enter the
InnKeeper Aelswith, is greeting the party from behind the bar, telling them to
come on in and starts telling them the menu for the day and room prices. Aelswith is a plump middle-aged
woman with dishwater blond hair. She is friendly and outgoing. She
wears a tan and green dress with a bodice. Xenia, mentions Eadgils told the
party about the place and ask if she could sing. Aelswith says ok and she
proceeds to find a stool an starts playing her lute and sing a song. Rooms are 6 silvers with meals
included. Just having a meal is 15 coppers with additional beverages extra.
Breakfat is goat chops and eggs with apple cider. Rooms are on the 2 nd
floor. Rahfen, decides to hit on the
chamber maid Onela. Onela is a young mother in her early twenties. She has dark
brown hair that she wears in a bun, under her white kerchief. At work she
always wears a plain brown dress. Ricardo, orders a an ale, but
couldn’t stand the taste. Xenia kicks him in the shins telling him to just
choke it down.
Rafen, questions Onela about Elgin the Wolf and if she
knew the victims. Onela says, "I know that Alee-Onna, is Elgin's girlfriend. I don't know
much about the victims." , "Don’t know what she sees in em. Could av any man
in Kellee, she could. Why she lets em string her alongs more than I can reckon.
Shes so art broke ain’t left the hoos in nigh on a fortnight. I be bringing er
fresh greens and bread, sos I can check in on er every few days." , "I
might know some more, have any more change on you? Yes."
