Topic: A Single Stone... Q/A
Subject: Moving Along
I have stated my Question for the bandit in a Game Post, so that should help move things along from Tek's perspective!
By the way, Brundel sent me a PM Message, so I mentioned the 'A Single Stone...' game and suggested he contact Tek as to his intentions of continuing playing this game!

Topic: A Single Stone...
Subject: One Pressing Question
Adelror listened intently as Bailox interrogated the prisoner, focused upon the facial expressions and body language of the filth that had helped cause so much grief among the innocents.
He had noticed the sly wink from Bailox, informing the Duskarn Cleric of Dareen that the mighty warrior was merely bluffing, but the War Cleric would rather his comrade were not bluffing!
However, the bandit's scream when Bailox gave the shaft of the arrow a small twist, was more to his liking, a small price to pay for the deaths and injuries inflicted upon those the adventurers had so recently rescued from harm!
"Now, you will tell us: why did you take these people? Who put you up to it? Where can we find them? How large a force do we face? What sort of defenses do they have? Answer now, and answer truthfully, or before this day is done you shall beg me for a thousand deaths."
As the bandit responded to Bailox, the Duskarn silently, without changing his grim expression, analyzed every reaction to each of the questions.
Once Bailox had finished and stepped aside, the War Cleric of Dareen stepped forward with a far more menacing look than Bailox had posed a few moments earlier!
Adelror the Avenger made a thoughtful gesture with his sword, waving it slowly in the face of the bandit, before resting its point below the throat of the bandit, having absorbed the answers in response to the questions levied by Bailox.
"Now What Can You Tell Me About Your Victims? Especially the One Who Escaped Your Clutches? The One Named Ellice!"
Adelror thrust his face forward almost nose to nose towards the bandit, slightly leaning upon his sword as he did so, allowing the point of his sword to make a slight cut on the bandits exposed skin!
After giving a detailed description of Ellice, the War Cleric of Dareen lifted his sword and drove the pommel against the forehead of the captive bandit, then grimaced with a slight satisfaction, while the Duskarn awaited the response from the bandit, allowing him a few moments to compose himself for a proper answer!

Good Advice Ziklag!
Best to hang on to the Fire Stick for now and Not Attack the Beaked Dragon!
Thanks for the reminder about Jozan being flooded out a few weeks ago!
I really prefer everyone make it back to the Toothless Dragon Tavern to Level Up!

..... Ody, Archangel and Brundel.
I do realize that Tuned_Out is still with us, as is probably Angelic, Ziklag and Tann!
Am figuring that Kamina will still be playing, once the month of August passes to free up some personal time ???
Biggest Question is Jozan and Salvator ?????
I do not want to Kill their Characters!
Would rather they made it back to the Tavern alive!

Topic: A Single Stone... Q/A
Subject: What I Know
Tann posted that Brundel has dropped out of Trilogy because of personal time constraints and a heavy load of scheduling in Real Life matters.
I sent him a PM in regards to my game, but have not heard from him!
Salvator is in my game and has not responded to any PM Messages for weeks (now extending to months!)
As for Adelror, a Post can be written, but it may be a day or so before I can get that done!
I am interested in proceeding, if there are enough players!

Topic: A Single Stone... Q/A
Subject: Like I Said Above in the Q/A
The only question Adelror would have in addition to the questions already asked in game by Duncan/Bailox is about Ellice and if the bandit knows her?
Also mentioned I was waiting on you to find out the status of the game, or if you were going to Update based on the questions asked by Bailox in game ?????

Every Seeker should be on the narrow flight of stairs, which the Beaked Dragon is unable to climb up!
And yes, the bearers of the treasure chest made it up the stairs after they regained their footing!

Topic: Treasure Seekers QnA
Subject: Hmmmmmmm Culling Characters or Red Alert
There is a scenario at my fingertips that I would consider bringing into play to kill off the characters of the Players who have disappeared from the Game!
However, in most usual cases I do my best Not to Kill off Characters, but we do have 10 and some of the Players have gone inactive and have Not Contacted Me regarding why they have disappeared from playing!
But for personal reasons I would rather Not put such a scenario into play at this present time!
So Please Choose Wisely!
Your Characters are Still Level One and are Rookies!
If I do decide to start Culling the Number of Current Characters to make the game more manageable with the Active Players, we will run the risk of any or all Current Characters also being slain by the Grim Reaper!
My preference is to get everyone back to the Toothless Dragon Tavern alive, before writing the inactive characters out of the game altogether!
Just in case someone returns to the Game before that happens!

Topic: Treasure Seekers QnA
Subject: Something to Consider
The Beaked Dragon is unable to ascend the second flight of stairs, because its body is too wide to fit in the space going up the second flight of stairs!
Also, if something happens where one of the Seekers falls down the stairs where the Beaked Dragon can get to him or her, then probably that character is as good as dead probably!  
So you are all probably better off going ahead and walking away from this situation and reporting back to the Ship!
Afterall, if Mad Dog Muldoon wants to get his hands on the rest of the gold, then he can send another group to snatch the remaining treasure!
This was written in such a way to let everyone know why there was only a few broken fingers left on the second landing, because the person probably was unable to outrun the Beaked Dragon, failing to make it to the narrower set of stairs where the Beaked Dragon was unable to ascend to the first landing!
Where Crow now is!
However, you are all free to decide just what you want to do, because the Beaked Dragon will at least ascend the stairs to the second landing, hopeful that some misfortunate turn of events will send someone toppling down the stairs into its waiting maw!

Topic: Treasure Seekers
Subject: Fool of a Took
Crow kept a steady eye on the procession of Seekers who climbed the stairs from the bottom of the cavern, while keeping a steady hand with his bow and notched arrow, periodically surveying the expanse below for any sign of dragons, or other guardians of the gold treasure that was being carted away to the waiting ship of their employer.
Vincent helped his friend Bartimeous steady the large sack that was filled to the brim with the variety of Human, Dwarf and Orc Gold that had been secreted below in the three treasure chests.
By the time they reached the narrow flight of stairs, it took the combined strength of both Seekers to keep the large sack from spilling its precious cargo, as they made their way past the Ranger on guard.
Willem followed close behind, making sure that his companions were protected from any unexpected attack; while Amur had taken the lead to cautiously search for any hidden traps or foes that may be waiting topside to ambush the returning Seekers. He would gladly step aside and allow the Ranger to take the lead back to the waiting ship, once his fellow companions were safely extracted from the hidden underground cavern.
Tohmas and Jaufre had chosen to focus all their effort on carrying the treasure chest filled to the brim with the Human Round Gold Coins; in spite of the fact that no latch or clasp was attached to the chest to secure the top, which had been partially damaged during some mysterious mishap of its unknown past.
This had only become apparent after the Shaman and Paladin duo had committed themselves to lifting and transporting their bulky load. The previously unnoticed problem being a slightly bent hinge that prevented the top of the chest from closing properly, in addition to the missing latch and clasp.
It was an incredible effort for the Shaman and Paladin to carry the heavy laden chest up the first flight of stairs, while Mylos followed a few steps behind, eagerly gathering up the numerous gold coins scattered along every step, that were passed over by each and every Seeker on the way down to the cavern floor.
Areldor was a few paces behind the Gnome Bard, content to lead the way in front of the Elf Bard Elyra, who wanted nothing to do with any of the gold coins, either on the steps or in the treasure chests.
She was convinced that some type of curse was upon the gold coins, although there was no apparent indication that such was the case with any of the chests or coins.
So the Elf Bard chose to be the last Seeker in line, as the procession slowly made its way up the stairs to return to the waiting ship, making sure she did not step on any loose coins along the way!
However, such was not the case with the Paladin and Shaman, as they were forced to carry the chest up the second flight of stairs, with barely enough room to negotiate the narrow pathway of the steps!
With the Shaman taking the lead and the Paladin carrying the treasure chest from behind, the two Seekers slowly made their way up the narrow flight of stairs, where the Ranger stood vigil with his trusty bow and arrows!
Lifting and carrying the chest required the use of both hands, so the two Seekers were relying upon their fellow companions for protection, if any unexpected foe launched a sudden attack against them!
However, both adventurers were so focused upon the task at hand, that they slipped momentarily on a loose coin or two, as they grunted and sweated their way up the narrow stairway with their bulky burden. This in turn caused the treasure chest to tilt sideways, resulting in the slightly bent hinge allowing a stream of a few dozen gold coins to pour from the top of the tilted chest.
This only lasted a few short seconds, but the result was gold coins bouncing down the stairs, while the gold-minded Gnome behind them frantically tried to catch each coin, even though both hands were filled with the loose coins he had already collected on his personal journey up the stairs!
Somehow Mylos lost his balance while greedily grasping for the deluge of coins that were bouncing down the stairs from the momentarily tilted treasure chest, resulting in the Gnome not only losing some of the coins already in his hands, but causing some of the coins to fly up in the air, before bouncing down the stairs in high arcs past a surprised Areldor and an alarmed Elyra; before hitting the second landing and bouncing in even higher arcs down the final set of steps!
However, the stone floor at the bottom of the cavern failed to stop the wild flight of loose and lost coins, as the stone floor caused the trajectory of several of the gold coins to change direction, bouncing even higher than they had down the stairs, until they loudly and eerily splashed their way in the pool of water that lay previously undisturbed by the Seekers, beyond the boundaries of the mud below!
Crow watched the unexpected tableau intently, until the disturbed water in the pool ceased its rippling, relaxing his grip on his bow and notched arrow, after several long and understandably agonizing minutes passed, without any sign of alarming consequences from the now seemingly comical chain of events!
Each of the Seekers proceeded to make their way upwards, yet with much more caution as to where they were stepping, than they had since leaving the cavern floor!
Whether or not the Elf Ranger noticed any unusual disturbance or air bubbles beneath the surface of the water, once the ripples had subsided and the pool of water seemed to have restored itself to a reflective calm state once more; it was a few short moments later that another part of the puzzle of the finger fragments was answered from beneath the water!
It was a lone Beaked Dragon that soon emerged from below the surface of the pool of water, beyond 4 years of age and an intimidating 30 feet long and 8 or 9 feet wide!
Fortunately, its width was greater than the second flight of stairs, so the Seekers at the end of the procession would be safe enough from its clutches, as long as they made their way up the narrow flight of stairs to the first landing, where the Ranger was standing to protect them from any danger below!
Beaked Dragons are more turtle than lizard and can swim. They are heavily scaled, grow up to 30 feet long and not only bite a victim but puke up their stomach acid to further immobilize their prey.
They are wide bodied creatures with thick, round overlapping scales across its back and sides. Its tail is long, thick in its beginning and tapering down to a cone shaped point.
Its neck, with multiple folds of skin is wide and long as well and ends only where the armored head begins. A full adult can be up to 30 feet long. Its narrow jaws are capped with fierce beaks on the upper and lower jaws.
It is able to open its toothless maw extremely wide and its head is crowned by two, large dwarf-sized scales. Its short legs give way to long webbed claws and they do have the magical ability to transmute rock into mud to hide themselves and dig dens to lay in wait for unsuspecting prey.
They do have two small wings that adorn their backs, but although they are useless for flight, their wings serve the creatures well in the deep sea currents where they are often encountered.
Their eggs are considered a delicacy ... especially to dwarfs ... and will bring as much as 10 Gold Coins on the open market.
Alignment is Neutral.
[There are a few more points to know that make these creatures dangerous, but that is enough information for now to answer where the skeleton finger fragments came from, when the parchment was discovered by the Seekers!]

May be a couple days before I can Update the Game, so if anyone else Plans to Post in Game, then Please Speak Up!
Thank You
SPOILER:
Again, I am assuring you Seekers, there are No Kobalds and No Vampires between this point in the game and going back to the Toothless Dragon Tavern to Level Up!
Unless you make the mistake of going to some other island for exploring!

Topic: Treasure Seekers QnA
Subject: Explanation
The Human Round Gold Coins were heaped up over the top of the Treasure Chest, there are still a bunch of Human Round Gold Coins spread out all over the Steps leading down, so probably some extra Gold was brought down in Sacks and piled on top of the other coins, but since there is no trace of any sacks, it is mere conjecture!

Angelic is having her Bard stay well behind the Treasure Chest and since Areldor enjoys her company, plus may need her encouragement if he pulls out his newly acquired 'Fire Stik' (Wand) it would seem to be the place for him to be!
Also, the Bracers of Armor are +2, so your Character is not quite so vulnerable now!

Will send some Prayers out for you and your family!
Will leave it up to Tek to decide what to do from here!
Have not decided on any other Questions to ask the prisoner, other than if he remembers Ellice when they attacked the wagons?
Will wait to see what Tek decides to do with this unfortunate development, before deciding what to do!

Subject: Departure Order ???
Okay Gang
Gonna need to know roughly where each Character will be in the order of Departure ?????
Which two (2) Characters are carrying the Treasure Chest of the Human Round Gold Coins?
From what I have read, Elyra is at the end of the line, probably with Areldor and Mylos (he may be right behind the Treasure Chest, but I need some clarity here!)
Did Amur choose to go to the head of the line to check for Traps, Ambushes etc.?
Will Crow go to the Head of the Line to lead the Seekers back out, or will he continue to stand guard with his bow and arrows until the Treasure Chest has been carried up the final flight of stairs and outside?
Bartimeous is carrying a Heavy Large Sack of Assorted Gold Treasure and Vincent will probably be accompanying him!
So is Ody's Druid (Shaman) carrying one end of the Treasure Chest, leaving either Tuned's Paladin to carry the other end or Jozan's Fighter to carry the other end (have not heard from Jozan in a while!) ?????????
The Order of Departure needs to be Clarified before I can properly put together an Update!
Thank You
