Topic: Treasure Seekers QnA
Subject: More Info......
So I guess we need to post some about heading to Orgstall so we can get information about the area.
We need to learn about the Land of the Vlgars, Twilight Wood, Gelderland and Mount Norling. We should know of Renuel-Aet-Faus, Dunlug and Castle of Spires.
Are these held by Elves, Humans, Dwarves or Evil?
General knowledge, even old knowledge would give us options if we need to run.
There should be tales of the evil, where it seems to be come from and the direction it seems to be going. Even stores of how information has stop coming from areas, this could imply the spread.

Topic: Treasure Seekers
Subject: A Fine Suit....Continued
Tohmas followed Ody out of the shop and into the streets. It soon became clear that there was a strangeness to the Gnomes wanderings. As they passed this way and that, at times doulbling back and then off again in odd direction Tohmas inquired as to why they traveled such an intricate path? “Spies “was all the Gnome would say. They continued on through the city. In time the Shaman came to appreciate to care that the little guide put into his charge. Just as care was needed to track in the forest Tohmas watched the care Ody put into this trek. To the Shaman it brought back memories of his youth, there in the forest he and friends played Fox and hounds.
The day burned by and as the sun set behind the building the gnome made his way closer and closer to the city’s edge. After hours of trekking through the filth and grime of the back streets it was more than refreshing to Tohmas to finally work their way into the forest on the northern edge of town.
Working their way in the darkness among the trees the gnome stopped at a gnarled old oak tree, with a small hollow in its trunk. Ody was squeezed himself into the opening. Tohmas waited patiently, for some kind of explanation of the Gnome's new antics. About twenty minutes later the Gnome squeezed back through the hollow, with a great big smile on his face, exhorting the Shaman to follow him. Tohmas looked puzzled at the Gnome, ”Kichkinet (guide) only by the will of Altira could I pass through that opening.” Then as if his goddess was listening the opening began to expand. Soon it was wide enough for the Shaman pass without needing to bend.
Once inside Tohmas knew this was a place of magic and spirit. The space inside opened beyond what the girth of the tree would have allowed. Here was a large room filled with the signs and symbols of the keepers of the lands. A council of Druids sat around a naturally beautiful table, the time aged and polished remains of a mighty Oak served as the center piece of this War Room. The Elders now sat quietly as they watched Tohmas approach. Rising from the head of the table was a tall and stately Elf, dressed in an Elven War Robe, with an unmistakeable emblem of Atira emblazoned upon the top of his staff. This was Daragard. In a soft lerical voice the venerable Druid Daragard encouraged Tohmas to share with the Council of Druid Elders all that had transpired since the Shaman had become a Seeker, including what had happened earlier that day at the Abalore Arms & Armor.
Tohmas obliged, this time covering in detail all the events of his time as a Seeker. He told of his hopes to learn the ways of the adventures so that he might use that to perhaps some day to return to the ancient lands to the east. He told of the days spent with Crow learning the ways of the city. He told learning to sleep under a roof in a bed and of thing called a chamber pot. He told of the voyage to the island and of the ways of his companions. Of the strange ways of the sailors and of their courage, strength and honor. He told of the trek into the decimated city and the battle with the living dead. Of the eye patch that saved their lives. Of sharing Altira’s blessing to heal those that had been strangers but were now united. The Shaman then took a breath and told the Council of how he had felt in his heart after the companions had joined in the Rain Dance that Altira had shown him his clan and these were now his charge to serve and protect.
As the time pasted the story of the hidden stairway, the treasure, the beaked dragon all poured forth. Again telling of how the group banded together to escape including that from the pirate ship and how Altira had spread her blessing to bring the winds that allowed them escape safe. Tohmas spoke of his time sharing with the Illusionist so both would understand the magic of the Fire Stick and the responsibility it carried to use it wisely.
Time did not not seem to pass the same here, was it hours, was it minutes, what ever it was it was enough for the Shaman to share the events . He spoke of the dinner, of the offer to fight the evil that was coming, the great items he had purchase that Mad Dog had provided.
Standing before them he showed them the fine Armor Abalore had sold him and the Tomahawk Abalore had given him. He finished with the wandering of his Kichkinet Ody to find this place.
Daragard asked to see the Silver Tomahawk that Abalore had bequeathed to the Shaman, passing it from one Druid Elder to the next and so on, as proof positive that the prophesies of old had now become present day reality!
The Druid then proclaimed his approval to all in attendance, including Ody, that his blessing was upon Tohmas to indeed wield his father's Silver Tomahawk, as the Shaman would be journeying west to confront the unknown Dark Forces of The Taint, which they feared was seeking to resurrect its evil presence among the unsuspecting innocent denizens of the lands stretching far and wide across the regions of Aihrde!
Furthermore, it was acknowledged that no news or dispatches of any kind had been delivered by way of the port cities of Icanthos, Leanthos City, Frieberg nor Orgstall in well over the past nine months!
It was also common knowledge among the Druid Elders and Daragard himself, that not only were there no messages delivered from the realms beyond these port cities, from any of the Druid Dispatchers, but they were also concerned that the amount of goods, gold, jewels and treasures had also dwindled down to a mere trickle into the holdings of Mad Dog Muldoon, who had proven in past times of trouble and turmoil to be a faithful ally against the previously defeated Dark Forces of The Taint, during the Great Wars: a dismal and grim conflict that had been fought and won with great sorrow and the shedding of blood, lives and lost innocence!
Then there was much secretive discussion among the various members of the Council of Druid Elders and Daragard, before an agreement of sorts was reached around the table.
Daragard spoke then to Tomas and offered to spend some exclusive time before the Seeker Shaman was to depart aboard The Toothless Dragon with his fellow Seekers who had chosen to make the uncertain journey. Daragard was pleased with the choice of this oddly assorted clan to pick this Wild Druid as their keeper. He would be spend time providing additional Druidical Training and Insight, including the ways of their common deity Atira, in times of battle against the forces of evil, that even now seemed to be spreading and threatening to expunge the beauties of the natural order of things, all across the lands and regions of Aihrde.
Finally, the Council of Druid Elders and Daragard agreed to provide the Seeker Shaman Tohmas with additional weapons from their arsenal of items that were secreted away in their War Chambers.
Long moments later, the Seeker Shaman was presented with a Staff of the Woodlands. ” This staff has been handed down many times growing in strength over the years. There was a Shaman that had cared for a band long ago known as the Crimson Crusaders that crafted this on his journey. I think you will find an affinity to it as it has been held by your ancestor.” Tohmas marveled at the staff, it was beautifully inlayed and carved. The history of the staff could be read by those that understood the symbols. The sturdy staff looked of dark aged Oak but it had the feel of Ironwood. Each end was sheathed in hot forged iron that added balance and provided deadly force when used as blunt weapon. Tohmas knew this was something of great importance. But he could also feel the spirit and magic that was stored inside to be called fourth in time of need. Along with this the Druids gave him a +2 Oath Bow with 20 Slaying Arrows. Daragard told him of their strength and magic against Orcs. He explained also its benefits against other foe.
Tohmas admired the prizes he had been entrusted to care for. Then Daragard asked if there was anything else Tohmas needed to share. It was then the Shaman remembered his talk with Jaufre.
The young Paladin Jaufre had spoke of his sister Gale and of the Apothecary Savantes. Tohmas told Jaufre’s story of how the fighter had join the seeker to earn money to help cure the strange illness that had taken Gale. But now Savantes had determined that she was victim of a strange Pin that has seemed to curse her. Savantes suspects it is an old evil that controls the pin and that perhaps Jaufre might find out more of it in his trek west were this Pin is to have been made.
The Druids showed great interest in this storey and pressed Tohmas to tell them more, but there was no more for him to tell. They talked among themselves and grew concerned for the safty and heath of Guetis for they knew what afflicted her might also come to others. The old evils were making there way even here.
Tohmas pulled the sack of remaining gold coin and placed it on the table. “I had intended to give these coins as an offering to Altira, but you may know how to better use them to watch over the girl Gale. As I tend Jaufre as he seeks her cure please tend to Gale so his quest is not in vain. The Druids remained silent but Tohmas noted the sack was gone.
Before leaving Daragard took Tohmas aside and told him a simpler way to find the tree, Ody was a good soul but at times could have a flair for the theatrical.
After a prayer of blessing for the Druids Tohmas and Ody returned to the city. This time as Tohmas found a street he knew he bid Ody a Goodnight and return to the Inn. The remaining Days the Shaman spent in the tutelage of Daragard as he prepared for the journey west.

Subject: Not A Pack Mule.....................
Dudley frowned at Mal's suggestion he pack the bottles and books with the food. "Friend, we are just starting this trek out and I am not a pack mule. That little bottle should fit your pocket and we already have a bit of wine we know is safe, so I don't care to take any of those containers." Then looking at the books, " That volume on the conjuration of demons, spirits, and other powers might be handy. If you know how they might get here it may help to send them back. That is if we meet any." With that Dudley slipped book into pack. Then grabbing a slip of paper and the pin he left a note. "Borrow one book on conjuration." Placing the note on the desk he turned and left the room.
Returning to the main room he saw the other starting to proceed through a portal and followed, fearing more of being separated from the party then what might be on the other side.

Topic: Treasure Seekers
Subject: A Fine Suit....
Abalore motioned to the Shaman to take a seat at the table and inquired if he would care to join him in an informal lunch of bread and cheese, with a tankard of ale to help wash the taste of the city out of his throat, while they discussed possible business? The elderly man with the Toothless Dragon Cane with the Open Maw Asked the Shaman to tell him of the journey he had just concluded. The merchant could see the eye patch Tohmas wore. The tanned good looking Wild Druid related his tale, telling of the Adventure and the events that had drawn the seeker closer.
Tohmas spoke of the “Tears of Altira” that had healed his companions and of the bravery they showed in battle. The lowered his head, then looked into the eyes of Abalore.
“When I was sent out after my training I was told that in time a Clan would find me. I had thought that would be of among my people. But Altira sees wider than her simple servant, she has led me to where I am needed. These Seekers will need one of the Wimachtendienk, “the Brotherhood,” to stand with them, care for them, defend them and heal them.
But my skills of the wild will be of little use if I am easily injured. The leathers I wear I have prepared myself,” Tohmas fingered the outline of a woman’s face, Altira, he had tooled into the left shoulder “and it suits well against rough travel and ever some meager attacks……..
The weapons I carry serve well in the hunt to provide food and may fend off a thief or wild animal, but we are going to where there are creatures of strength and evil. A hunting bow and the simple tomahawk I have crafted will fare ill against that what awaits my clan. ………Amur has told us of to seek you out. That here one may find the crafted tools of war. If I am to defend my clan I would ask …. if you might share with a follower of Mother Earth.“
Nudging the bag of gold coins Tohmas continued,” I have brought the coin that is traded here for goods, I would also pay for information as to where to find the Elders of Altira.”
The Gnome named Ody, had eagerly waited on the two at the table, just like the young Rogue had described to the Shaman, anticipation growing in his eyes that another interesting deal was in the making between these two!
Abalore motioned to Ody, whispered something in his ear, then sat back with a broad smile, as the Gnome scampered off somewhere beyond the curtain in search of whatever it was that the elderly Stout Heart had decided to bequeath to the Shaman.
Before the Gnome returned, Abalore leaned forward and asked the Shaman to hand over a mere 100 Gold Coins, sight unseen, for whatever Ody was searching for in the back room.
Tohmas sensed he could trust to old armorer and knew that this was the simple request of good will. Extending his hand in friendship Tohmas was surprised when old man gripped his with hand shake of those of the Order of the Arrow.
Opening the bag he quickly counted out the coins, stacking them neatly before the man across the table.
i>The Gnome finally returned, he was carrying a +5 Hide Armor, which he presented to the Shaman, then hurried off behind the curtain once more!
Tohmas took the armor, it was light yet he could feel the strength and perhaps magic that had been crafted into the pieces. The dark tones of browns and greens were dyed into it, enhancing it so it would blend into field or forest. The touch was soft and supple, it had been sewn with care so that seams were protected and yet not bulky. The treads blended into the hide with double and maybe even triple stitches for strength. All across the hide were sewn reenforcements that took on the look of limbs and leaves.
As the Shaman held out the shirt, there on the on the left shoulder was the delicately tooled image of a woman’s face; surround the image was a framing of tooled leaves in a wreath of Oak, Maple and Ash.
Tohmas removed his buckskins, stripping down to a simple loin cloth. After carefully folding his old ware he smoothly glided into the new armor. The Shaman was filled with wonder as the hide seemed form to him as it touched his body. The smells of earth rose to his nostrils as if the hide were part of lands he was sworn the honor. His soft soled boots almost felt as they were merging with the hide as he pulled them back on. Standing next to the table Tohmas felt the strength and simple splendor of the amror Abalore had provided.
The Shaman was so engrossed, gratefully examining the +5 Hide Armor, that he did not notice the Gnome returning with another item, which he handed to Abalore.
Abalore eyed the Shaman, taking full measure of the weight of Tohmas's worth, then set a Silver Edged Tomahawk on the table and began to say:
"This once belonged to a friend of mine ...
"He fell in battle ... fighting 'The Taint' ...
"This tomahawk is a powerful artifact weapon ... it cost me the use of my left arm ... when an enemy picked it up from where my friend had fallen ... and used his very weapon against me!"
Abalore pushes the tomahawk towards Tohmas and continues saying:
"Now it is yours ... my gift to you ... I have been waiting a long time ... for one such as you to come through this door!
"This blade thirsts to avenge the innocent blood ... shed by 'The Taint' ... take this with My Blessing!"
Abalore looks the Shaman directly in the eyes as he receives the precious weapon.
"Ody will escort you to Daragard the Druid ... He will know it is a sign of 'The Rising Taint' ... when he sees this tomahawk in your possession!
"This once belonged to His Father ... and His Father Before Him!
"He Will Help You!
"He gave it to me for safekeeping ... to hold the weapon that cost me my arm ... until I found 'That One' who would be willing to take this weapon into battle ... against the 'Dark Forces' of 'The Taint' ... No Matter What the Odds!
"It Is Yours Now!
"So Go!"
Ody bows to the Shaman and beckons Tohmas to follow him.
Tohmas stood in awe as he gently took the near perfectly balanced hand weapon. The silver edged blade shown radiantly in the lights of the shop. There etched in the head were the symbols of the faithful. This had been made to honor the many deities that protected the earth and its creatures. Finding the sign of Altira he smiled as he touched it. The handle was hard strong Oak, it was worked with inlays of White Ash and pieces of carved gem depicted the symbols of Earth, Wind and Water. The honor that Abalore had bestowed was not lost on the Shaman. Tohmas slide the weapon into the belt loop of his new armor.
Raising his hands palms out Tohmas utter a simple blessing, “May the spirit of all creation abide with you, may the loving hands of Mother Earth cradle you and protect you and those you care for in your charge.
Wimachtendienk, …..Wingolauchsik,…….Witahemui....... Brotherhood… Cheerfulness…Service.”
The elderly Stout Heart waited a few moments, then thanked Tohmas as he escorted the Shaman to the door, explaining the finer points of his newly acquired weapon.
Tohmas followed Ody out of the shop and into the streets. It soon became clear that there was a strangeness to the Gnomes wanderings.
(T0 Be Continued.)

Subject: Wow............
I swear I posted to this Q&A this morning,, but it must have gotten lost.
After I read Turned's post I was thinking something similar.
I'd say that Tohmas and Jaufre meet and talk after he visits his sister. He tells Tohmas his story about his sister, the hair pin and his new quest to the west to find something to counter the evil of the pin. He also mentions needing a new shield. Tohmas tells him about Amur and his visit to the armorer. I'll have Tohmas tell him of the eye patch and to try there with what ever money he may have first. That he should go to and maybe he can get a shield.
I'll then work in my post of Tohmas at the Armorer and with Druids. I'll tell them to the pin and ask them to watch over Gale. He'll leave his gold with Druid's to honor Altira and prehaps help the Paladin's sister as Tohmas owes him for possibily saving his life with his shield.
I won't get to this post until Sunday.

It will take a little bit to get a good follow up post, so most likely I won't get to it until Sunday.
I want to get something out so Tohmas can share his info on the coastal sities so the Seekers can make their choice where to start the adventure.

But I don't remember any range on Serenity and I don't think it's a good idea to be shooting in a pressurized ship in space. A workout room, wrestling mates maybe even a boxing area, but a gun range is a bad idea. Now knife throwing would be ok.
