Subject: Welcome Back My Friend
Nomad D2 is an old friend from the Inn in some of the Adventures that I used to DM and we may have played in another adventure together as PC Characters!
Actually, we both were introduced to the Inn and joined the Inn at the same time with a group that started an Adventure ... which ended up fizzling ... but Nomad D2 and I continued playing here at the Inn in other adventures!
His writing and consistency in Posting will certainly add a Positive Result to any group of Players and Adventures!

Topic: Murder in Baldur's Gate
Subject: REMEMBER ME
1480 DR
Sword Coast; Baldur's Gate
The Wide
"REMEMBER ME"
The crisp morning air that blew gently across the water of the Chionthar River brought the promise of a bright new day as Oskar Ungart stood tall in the saddle, wearing his Studded Leather Armor, armed with Cross Bow and War Hammer, while sitting astride his pony, named Pony, as he once again pondered these now familiar thoughts that were ever present in his mind.
"REMEMBER ME"
The Hill Dwarf War Cleric allowed Pony to set his own pace, as they would be at Baldur's Gate soon enough, so Oskar sat tall in the saddle with his brown hair and brown beard blowing freely in the wind against his Deep Tan Skin, at least as tall as a 5'0" 150 pound Hill Dwarf was able, allowing his thoughts to have their way this day.
"REMEMBER ME"
How could Oskar forget, as his thoughts drifted back over the past 65 years, reminding him of the great losses in this young Hill Dwarf's life.
"REMEMBER ME"
He had been raised a Stone Mason, greatly skilled in his craft. He could see the lovely face of the young Hill Dwarf maiden ... The One ... The Only One ... who had captured his young heart.
Oskar worked hard every day ... seemingly night and day ... while nursing a dream that motivated him to endure the long laborious hours at his assigned craft, in the hopes of one day amassing a small fortune to provide a comfortable life with a joyful family, to share with the love of his heart at his side.
But life can be cruel to even the noblest of dreams. His love was eventually betrothed to another, then soon married, to one of more nobler means and station among the Ungart Hill Dwarf Clan, breaking his young heart, turning sweet love to bitter, resulting in the chains of dark thoughts of murder, enticing him to rescue his lost love and carry her off to some far away land ... a place of living happily ever after ... but it was not to be.
Oskar soon realized that he must seclude himself in the depths of the nearby mountains, the sight of his love escorted by her husband of nobility having become too unbearable to carry within his tortured soul, in an effort to purge these dark thoughts of murder and darker desires to abduct the now married love of his heart, that flooded the passionate blood running through his veins; for if he truly loved her, then Oskar would let her go from that secret place in his heart, for she truly belonged to another.
He spent 12 long years battling these dark desires, especially when Bane, the Dwarf War God of Tyranny came seeking his tortured soul, promising him great reward, if only the young Hill Dwarf would let go of his restraints, allowing the Dark Dwarf War God to lead Oskar Ungart on to a life of vengeance and glory! However, Oskar resisted these dark temptations, continuing his quest to spiritually purge his tortured soul.
Oskar was able, over time, to resist the Dark Dwarf War God; choosing rather a path that would bring honor among friends and family, especially in the eyes of the lovely young maiden become wife to another, who he could never have and hold as his own ... never now ... never later!
During the final two years of his solitude, the recurring visions of a Wooden Shield and a Matching Amulet, both bearing the insignia of Balanced Scales resting upon a War Hammer, were ever before him night and day, as always with the words echoing ‘round about him in the deep caverns beneath the mountains, where he sought solace for his tormented soul:
"REMEMBER ME"
Oskar finally completed his spiritual seclusion, choosing to return to his Ungart Hill Dwarf Clan, in an effort to move on with his life in spite of his deep personal loss, while pondering upon the meaning of the visions of the Shield and Amulet.
But to his utter dismay, upon his return to the home of his Clan, all he found was the burnt rubble from the hideous remains of an Orc War Party ... that had desecrated and massacred his entire Clan!
Being a Stone Mason, he was able to build an adequate dwelling upon the remains of the desecrated rubble; fortunately, he also found hidden reserves of ale and food stuffs, from which he was able to sustain himself, all the while pondering the meaning of the Shield and the Amulet with the words:
"REMEMBER ME"
It was but a few months ago that a wandering Priest found his way to the desolate grave yard where Oskar Ungart was living in complete isolation and mourning.
The Lone Ungart Clan Hill Dwarf told his tale to the old Priest, who in turn persuaded Oskar to accompany him on a few days journey to a newly constructed Temple Shrine of Torm, the Dwarf God of Courage and Self Sacrifice, bearing the insignia of a White Right Gauntlet.
It was there that Oskar Ungart spent several weeks aiding the Priests with his Stone Mason skills, all the while sharing his tale of seclusion beneath the mountains and his recurring visions of the Shield and the Amulet, bearing the insignia of the Balanced Scales resting on the War Hammer, with the words:
"REMEMBER ME"
Shortly before Oskar had decided to leave the company of the Priests of Torm, the High Council of Torm Priests persuaded him to join their Circle for a time of Prayer and Consecration.
It was during this Circle of Consecration that the Priests brought forth a Wooden Shield and a Matching Amulet, with the insignia of the Balanced Scales resting upon a War Hammer!
Oskar was told of the passing of Tyr, the Dwarf God of Justice, who had bequeathed his powers and followers to his fellow deity, Torm.
The Old Priest had been searching for such a one as Oskar Ungart, to carry the memory of Tyr, the Dwarf God of Justice, with the divine powers bequeathed to Torm channeled to this Chosen One.
Oskar stayed on to learn of the Old Teachings of Tyr, until the sudden passing of the Old Priest. Then with the Blessing of the Council of Torm Priests, he was given the Shield, the Amulet, clothes, fishing gear, Studded Leather Armor, a War Hammer, a Light Cross Bow with Bolts, a pony that Oskar named Pony, plus a variety of other useful items for his journey, including Healing and Herbalism Kits.
"Your Fate Awaits At Baldur's Gate"
Oskar Ungart thought upon the Cryptic Message that the Council of Torm Priests had spoken in unison to him, during his final night among the Council.
Pony snorted and shook his mane, which brought Oskar back to the reality of this present morning, as festive sounds from the distant city greeted his ears.
Within the hour, Oskar Ungart had entered the city of Baldur's Gate, found a place to house Pony in good faith, with directions to a Shrine of Torm in the Twin Songs District on the northern side of the bridge to the southeast; as well as some friendly information as to where best to find gainful employment with his Stone Mason gifting!
Having met a trio of Dwarfs, who were grateful to find a new friendship with a rare War Cleric of Tyr, the Hill Dwarf was soon assured of more than ample food, drink, housing and an opportunity to ply his trade ... if he chose to stay in Baldur's Gate?
Escorted along the Trade Way, then through the Black Dragon Gate into the Upper City, by his trio of new friends, Oskar made slow progress among the revelers, stopping to eat and drink heartily with his newly found companions, before making their way through the light drizzle to The Wide.
Oskar took note of the colorful banners and flowers that decorated a spacious stage platform, before the gathered throng of festive Baldurans began cheering the oratory of Duke Abdel Adrian, as he stirred the assembled populace with the historic significance of their Returning Day celebration.
In the midst of the assorted revelers, Flaming Fist police force, the hawkers and the gawkers in the festive market place; Oskar Ungart kept a wary eye open for anything or anyone that might seem to be amiss, or for any fellow strangers who might seem to be out of place among the populace.
As he talks, you notice a disturbance to your right. Some-one is pushing roughly toward the platform. A cloaked and hooded figure emerges from the crowd, scrambled onto the podium, and strides towards Adrian, short-sword in hand.
The crowd grows panicked and starts to run, blocking the few guards as they try their way to the stage. The other officials run leaving only Abdel and his assailant on the platform. You notice one guard make it to the base of the stage but is suddenly stabbed and brought down by a hooded figure. Looking closer you all can see eight figures dressed in similar hoods and cloaks standing near the edge of the stage, kicking people away and keeping the stage clear of anyone who tries to intervene. The assailant lunges at Abdel who is armed with nothing but his gauntlets and plate armor, and the fight for survival begins.
Suddenly, as the Hooded Assassins made their move, causing the gathered citizens to stampede in panic, the Hill Dwarf War Cleric of Tyr stood his ground, surveying the scene before him!
His companions urged him to withdraw to a safe haven, but Oskar dismissed them, saying:
"Go! I Must Weigh the Scales of Justice!"
The Dwarf Trio had been with him long enough to understand that the War Cleric of Tyr had business to attend to, business of which the three had no training, so they quickly departed with well wishes and assurances that Oskar was welcome to join them in a nearby tavern, once the Hill Dwarf had indeed 'Weighed the Scales of Justice!'
"REMEMBER ME"
((OOC: Round 1.) Oskar Ungart loads his Cross Bow, while assessing Friend from Foe and determining exactly where the Balance of Justice would be best served in the midst of this mayhem!
Round 2.) Oskar Ungart intends to shoot a Bolt at a particular Hooded Assassin, in hopes of incapacitating his target, so the Hill Dwarf War Cleric may question him or her, as the case may be!
He will then arm himself with his War Hammer and make his way toward his target for either Interrogation or War!))

Topic: Murder in Baldur's Gate: Q&A
Subject: Making an Adjustment
Since Tyr the God of War is Dead, it would be helpful to know exactly when he 'Died' so I can write my opening post.
I have been dealing with a bit of 'Writer's Block' the past few days, but I know where I am going with the writing!
There will be an Adjustment to the Back Story that I will include in the Opening Post that is Not on the Character Sheet, but it is only a 'Major Minor' Adjustment to Oskar's Back Story in the light of the 'Death' of his deity!
I posted over at the 'Hidden Evil Q&A' that I had to write an opening post for 'Murder in Baldurs Gate' before I would have a post in 'Hidden Evil' by Friday, so I am working on it, but knowing when Tyr 'Died' would be helpful for my writing my Opening Post here!
Thank You

Guess we will huddle up and decide whether to pursue or head on to the town ???
My vote is to head towards town and see if we have any other Shamblers to dispatch and discover any 'Living' who may need our combined assistance

Topic: Murder in Baldur's Gate: Q&A
Subject: Tyr, God of Justice (War)
What information would Oskar Ungart have in regards to his deity or a Temple of Tyr, God of Justice (War) being already established in Baldurs Gate ?????
Are there any Priests of Tyr or followers of Tyr that are known to reside in Baldurs Gate ???
Also, as a Stone Mason, where would he find fellow Hill Dwarfs residing or having their places of business ???
These are questions that I need answered, before I can write a suitable opening post

Subject: Format for Posting
Hey Jozan
Is there any particular Format for Posting that you prefer us to use in regards to conversation, thoughts and including portions of previous posts in our posts ???
Some prefer Quotation Marks for Conversation/Dialogue and the use of Italics when a Character is expressing Thoughts.
Others allow the use of Color when a Character Talks or is expressing his or her Thoughts.

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again
Subject: No Blue Glow
Finarsil held her position as Maximus examined the area. She remained there when he returned to the group to report his findings; before volunteering to press further into the darkness.
Kadrin nodded at Maximus' report. "Good work, friend. The fiend is looking to play with our minds. Let's move in a bit further and see if Sparrow might have some insight in those tracks you found. Then we need to push forward, Behirs and Basilisks be damned."
The High Elf Bard had pressed in closer to the stone statues, still holding Dark Reaver ahead of her. There was no trace of a Dark Blue Glow from its blade.
Then in the company of the others she pressed forward, saying:
"Dark Reaver is not yet detecting any Undead presence in this vicinity!"
((OOC: Finarsil boldly moves forward, keeping pace behind Maximus, ever vigilant for a tell-tale Blue Glow emanating from the blade of Dark Reaver, ready to sound the alarm if any presence of Undead are within 60 feet. She is still encased with the Fire Shield as she gets acclimated to the cold interior of the cavern!))

Subject: Fire Shield and Dark Reaver
Finarsil quickly assessed the situation and decided to put her Ye' Cind Flute into its Compartment of Holding inside her Bracer of Ye' Cind on her right wrist.
Then she withdrew Dark Reaver (her +3/+6 vs Undead Long Sword with the Blade that Glows Blue when within 60 feet of Undead).
Humming an Old High Elven 'Boldness of the Bard' Tune to bolster her own courage, she strode with purpose towards the mouth of the Cavern for a closer look at the array of lifelike statues of stone that were illuminated by the Continual Light spell that Jerenion had cast into the darkness of the Cave's foreboding Maw.
The chill of the cold within the ominous cavern reached out to dissuade the High Elf Bard from daring to enter the mouth of the cave, but Galen and the Triplets were somewhere beyond those statues!
"Dark Reaver will reveal any nearby Undead, but I must do something about this uncanny cold chill that seeks to grip my body and my soul with its evil mockery!" Finarsil thought as she held her Long Sword aloft with her left hand.
Finarsil took a few steps closer towards the entrance of the cave, stopping suddenly; not because she was afraid to cross over the threshold with or without her fellow companions, but rather to employ another spell upon herself to hopefully combat the coldness of the interior!
"May Any Yonder Cold Based Creatures Yield
To the Flames of My Conjured Fire Shield!"
She waited a few moments for the Fire Shield spell to take its full effect, then without looking back to see if anyone would follow her inside, the High Elf Bard strode forward for a closer look at the Stone Statues, praying under her breath that Ye' Cind would reveal more about their true nature from any ancient lore that would come to her remembrance, while protecting the High Elf Bard from her own rashness and boldness!
((OOC: Finarsil has cast Fire Shield upon herself (the special powers of the Fire Shield are as follows: the flames are warm to the touch and any cold-based attacks are saved against with a +2 bonus; plus either half normal damage or no damage is sustained) while she holds Dark Reaver aloft and ahead of her, keeping a watchful eye for the telltale Blue Glow to warn her of any approaching Undead that may be lurking in the shadows!))
