Topic: The Monster Hunters Collective
Subject: Further Investigation
"If you want to do science, you have to literally do something... I say we check out the rest of this church while we're here." Loudly enough for Roy to hear and object if he wishes to interrupt his prayer.
"If anything we might find a new weapon to use against some undead baddies! And besides... I'm borrrrrrrrreeeeddddddddd no more walking around asking people stuff. Let's EXPLORE!"
Brokkrok surveyed the interior of the church and was curious about the strange mushrooms growing behind the altar, but he was also respectful of the man spending his time with morning prayer.
Perhaps these had something to do with the premonition he had earlier as the voice of Loco Fungihammer rang inside the corridors of his mind:
“Shrooms live of the death of other things. Use them, but never become a shroom yourself.”
Pondering those words of exhortation, Brokkrok weighed his choices carefully, being ever mindful of the welfare of the entire group. It was not a wise thing to leave a curious comrade behind in an unknown structure ... especially a decaying temple.
"If the good doctor has no objections ... then I suggest that Traubon, Glitch and Ta'nil explore what is behind the door on the right. Gadget should have a nose for this sort of thing."
"Meanwhile ... our friend Arra can put her nose to good use ... as Alyanna and I join her in exploring the door to the left. There should still be plenty of daylight left to visit around the community ... once we have satisfied our curiosity here ... to ask further questions ... and we can visit the doctor later at his home ... when we are not intruding upon his prayer time."
If there is no objection from doctor Roy Pikarov then Brokkrok will respectfully proceed to the door on the left behind the altar.
If he does object, then Brokkrok will silently nod to the doctor respectfully and proceed to make his rounds of questioning the other members of the community with his companions.
No sense in making an enemy so early in the quest by not being sensitive to the privacy of the doctor, but once the doctor has returned home from prayer, then Brokkrok will want to satisfy his suspicions as to if the doctor merely wanted them to leave so he could pray privately ... or if he has something to hide that he did not want them to discover in the temple.
Will have to wait on the Update from Almerin and input from the others to go any further!

Topic: Monster Hunters Collective - Q/A
Subject: If We Split Up ...
..... then I propose that the characters of Jozan, Admiral and Takley investigate the door on the right (Admiral's weazel can sniff things out)
While the druid and Lady Dark's kitty can go with Brokkrok to explore the door on the left. Arra can sniff things out on the left hand side.
That way we are not too far removed from each other in case of trouble and I for one am curious as to what is behind each door!
The only reason that Brokkrok would leave the church is to give the doctor some respect for his prayer time!

Depending upon the reactions of each family and Granny Tapestry in the Update by Almerin any further questions or actions will have to wait until then.
Brokkrok is ready at a moments notice for any unexpected fight or if an alarm is shouted out when they finish their rounds he will spring into action!
His questions for clothing of the missing farmers is not meant in a demeaning way to Arra, but considers her to be an Expert Tracker (no matter what her race!) and he is letting her know that he has her back and hopefully she has his as comrades in arms [as an equal as much as possible for a Khord] should any trouble arise!
If anyone else has any further questions Please Post them here for Almerin to include in his Update on Monday!

After having my question answered in the PM by Almerin and then looking at the Map once again, it is my opinion that our time is better served by visiting some others while the doctor finishes his prayers!

Since doctor Roy Pikarov is not too thrilled about the remains of the skeleton being stored at his house, what can he tell us about the remains?
Human? Other? Unknown?
Any other reason he is not too thrilled besides the fear that the remains may become reanimated in his home?

01. & 02. Consider this a direct question to doctor Roy Pikarov: Where do the 2 doors on the right and left lead to?
17. Since the purse belongs to doctor Roy Pikarov we would like an explanation of his visits to the graveyard. Are the visits for burial purposes? Paying his respects to someone? Or does he just go to the graveyard to pray in general?

If you have a post in reaction to 'Along the Wagon Trail' then you probably have a few days to get it posted.
I will be busy during the week and hopefully will be able to get an update written this weekend (depends on each of you posting like I did for Rextugenous).
We are getting close to our first encounter with an enemy so I do need to have the Character Sheet from Raven with the Stat info when the time comes for me to roll the dice to resolve any conflicts!

Topic: The Leather Coats Avengers
Subject: REXTUGENOUS Breakfast Reflections
It had been a sobering journey for the last surviving Leather Coat. He had not expected the 12 riders to be eliminated from the equation so soon. At least not without the aid of Rextugenous and his 3 hand picked companions.
He would have preferred to make Tathlums from the heads of the fallen riders, but it was not his place to cut off their heads without the permission of his employer.
Instead, he followed the simple orders to spread the pitch over all the corpses, but he made mental notes of each Goblin Raider to be better prepared whenever the others were encountered. He noted their features, weapons and armor ... deciding how best to fight against their ilk in the not too distant future ... while specially noting what Lars had solemnly said about the dead remains:
"Best not to leave behind any parts of friend ... or foe ... to come back and haunt us! We learned the hard way long ago ... that the animated bodies of the UnDead ... have no allegiance to former friends ... or to former loved ones!"
This brought back the pain and sorrow of having to slay and behead his former Leather Coats companions in their decaying undead state! Rextugenous breathed an almost inaudible vow to avenge the 12 riders ... as well as the UnDead Leather Coats he was forced to put to rest several days ago!
What ordinarily would have been a humorous incident the previous night while on guard duty, was somewhat unnerving and a bit eery. Drog and Seg Kargar had almost seemed to be in heat in the partial privacy of their covered wagon. At least it had sounded that way as the wagon shifted numerous times during the times of his watch.
Even their amorous romp among the unseen treasures did not seem to be the ordinary mating rituals of Halflings ... but they were from a land far removed from where Rextugenous had encountered any Halflings ... so he dismissed the thoughts gnawing at his subconscious.
Then there were the Wolves that were prowling around the area on both sides of the wagons, but their glaring yellow eyes were all he had seen, as they moved along each time he took any steps in their direction to keep them away from the horses.
After he ate his breakfast and attended to his 'family' of weapons, the Paladin/Wizard/Bard broke forth into an oration to inspire his companions and comfort the exotic ladies they were hired to protect:
"We all have lost comrades
Whether long ago
Or in the day past
But one thing is sure
My deity Brigit is with me
And I am with you
So Fear Not My Friends!"
Rextugenous finds a place of privacy not far from the wagons to commune with Brigit and renew his focus on his granted spells. He is ever alert and vigilant for any signs of trouble before Fredrico orders the wagons to continue moving forward towards Lasch.

Topic: The Monster Hunters Collective
Subject: Graveyard Shift
Brokkrok watched his companions as they gathered around the table to eat their morning meal, from time to time he would exchange a few words when addressed, but as he thoughtfully chewed his breakfast, the Cleric of Therassor paid particular attention to Granny Tapestry as she served her simple meal to the adventurers.
Whatever was on his mind at the moment, the young Cleric of the Stalwart Blade did not volunteer to divulge what he was thinking, as he listened to his companions form their plan of action for investigating the graveyard immediately after satisfying their morning hunger.
When the time finally came to leave Granny Tapestry's Guesthouse, he purposely walked in the middle of his companions, neither leading nor following, observing how each member of the Collective acted and reacted. When they arrived at the graveyard, Brokkrok examined the ground and chose 3 small stones. His thinking was that he could cast a Magic Stone spell upon the stones and give them to Alyanna to use in her sling should any evil thing make itself known.
Brokkrok asked the group to join him in the corner of the graveyard, and started praying to his God. He held his concentration for a long time, scanning the graveyard for any sign of undeath, but found none.
"I call upon you now Stalwart Blade ... to aid us in our search for the evil that has terrified the defenseless citizens of this community!
"Smile upon each of my companions ... help them to do their part to unravel this dark mystery ... and protect each one of us this day!
"Grant me the ability and wisdom to wield The Burning Blade that you have so graciously bestowed upon me in days gone by!
"Forgive me for not using any of the spells you granted me yesterday ... especially the Detect Undead ... but as I search this day for the evil secluding itself in this community ... grant me once again the ability and wisdom to cast Cure Minor Wounds, Detect Magic, Inflict Minor Wounds, Light, Bless, Cure Light Wounds, Detect Undead and Magic Stone.
"May my blade and sword arm serve you with faith and honor ... I pray oh Ghardan Aglar ... smile upon your servant this day with your favor ... hear my humble cry ... on behalf of myself and those who are with me ... as I give you thanks ... oh Stalwart Blade!"
Then the young Cleric of the Stalwart Blade focused his concentration to utilize his newly granted Detect Undead spell. After several minutes of scanning the entire graveyard, there was no trace of any Undead lurking around the graveyard.
After that they decided to use their eyes and ears, and in Arra’s case, her nose, to try and find any clues to what was going on in Sedostra. Besides a long lost purse with some loose change, they found a strange mark circling on one of the branches of the cherry tree. It looked like some of the bark had been scraped off by something long and thin, like a rough wood file or a rope.
Brokkrok silently concurred with Glitch that the marking on the tree looked suspiciously like the rope one would use for a noose. He also noted the long lost purse and the loose change, but he withdrew a few steps from the group and looked long and hard at the Temple of Solaris, sensing a stirring within himself to go and investigate the structure.
He was not the only one whose attention was drawn to the Temple of Solaris. Traubon was already on his way, although Glitch was in the process of casting a Detect Magic spell.
Brokkrok decided to follow afterTraubon as he observed and then heard Arra declare that the Temple of Solaris was where she would prowl and search for any traces of the unknown evil.
She stared off towards the church, tail swishing now as she considered this.
"I shoud like to see what is happening therrrrre," she purred quietly, not sure if they wouuld accept her suggestions.
Brokkrok quickly strode to her right side and declared, "I am of like mind Arra! I will protect your flank while you follow your nose into yon Temple of Solaris!"
His blade was drawn as he kept one eye on Traubon and matched Arra stride for stride, confident that the others would be safe enough with Glitch ... watched over by his deity Therassor ... in answer to his earlier prayer at the graveyard.
Brokkrok is ready to strike with his Longsword and is almost absent mindedly gripping a flask of Holy Water with his left hand. He is also ready to Turn Undead when they all enter the Temple of Solaris should any Undead be lurking there!
