Jackel, I think you're better off playing a duskblade or a druid. They'll fit into our party better.

[Cheetory6]

Live your life.
I'm okay with it.
My character might be a dick/pissy at you though

Summary

PCs head out to Las Verisa. They say good-bye to Raelin at the crossroads. She is going to Bord to find her fortune. PCs come across a hill where a couple of merchants, Billybob and Steve, were in trouble. They lost control of their cart on the hill and it rammed into a rock at the base of the hill, trapping their horse. Their cries for help attracted an owlbear, who proceeded to murder the horse for lunch. PCs intervened as quick as they can, launching spells, arrows and bullets at the owlbear. As Lor and Kat engaged the beast, second owlbear jumped out behind them, but was subdued by No Two's Ray of Enfeeblement. They wrap up the encounter without much trouble. Billybob and Steve are grateful, and they invite them to travel with them. They are also on their way to Las Verisa, and they were hoping to make it to the roadside inn named Gerard's House. The inn opened couple months ago, and it's famous for hiring reformed ex convicts as staff, which keeps the bandits away.

They made it to the Bessel Woods, which is the forest that surrounds the port city of Las Verisa. This area is fraught with danger, so the party moves as quick as they can for the inn. They are set upon by hungry wolves, but couple of rounds showed the wolves that they are messing with the wrong group of people, and they scrammed. The PCs make it to Gerard's House, where they are welcomed in. They meet the ex-convicts staff members, like the half-orc cook, Grub. They also meet a wealthy merchant named Toronto, who started hitting on Lor and Avina as soon as he set his eyes on them. After ordering expensive wine for the ladies and himself, Toronto invited them to his room if they wanted to see his jewelry collection, and then he retired to his room.

A wild-haired bounty hunter named Izzy showed up at dinner time, and introduced himself to Kat. He is a regular at this inn, and he thinks highly of what Gerard is doing. During dinner, a ragged looking scholar bursts through the doors and demanded to see Tuhin, the Black hand. Tuhin is an infamous pirate who operates off the coast of Las Verisa. On closer inspection, the scholar turns out to be Arthur, the accountant who sold the party out back in the abandoned monastery to the goblins. Karl throws his dagger at him, but misses. Arthur reveals that he has an overcoat full of explosives, and that if they didn't want him to blow them up, everyone should not move and bring him to Tuhin. Kat rises up in anger with her greatsword in her hand, but Izzy stops her, calmly dips his cigarette into the candle oil, and launches a crossbow bolt out of his hidden crossbow with the cigarette in the trajectory at Arthur. It knocks him backwards and traps him in a globe of invisible force. Arthur swears and threatens to blow everyone up, but the oil on the cigarette ignites, triggering his bombs and disintegrating him. The explosion was contained by the orb of force, and Arthur was reduced to a charred skeleton. Izzy moves him out of the doorway off to the side of the building, and decides to take a look around the grounds to make sure there aren't any more crazies wondering about.

PCs go up to their rooms to rest, but an hour later, Avina is notified that her alarm spell went off. In mere seconds afterwards, there is a loud boom in the second floor of the inn. Gerard comes up to investigate, and when he unlocks the door to Toronto's room, he saw that Toronto has been killed and lying in pool of his own blood. There is a deep puncture wound in his chest, but no bullet was found on him, or in the room. There is a small scorch mark on the door about 4ft off the ground, but door was not damaged in any other way. The window to the hallway was open, and there is a sign of an intruder having come through the window and going to Toronto's room, but the tracks stop there. There were no tracks inside the room itself. Outside tracks have been obliterated by heavy rain.

Gerard informs them that the authorities at Las Verisa will be contacted at dawn, and until then, they should stay in their rooms. He had Grub watch the corridor for PCs's safety... and to make sure that they do not escape during the night.
To make things worse, the charred skeleton outside went missing. People are whispering, and Billybob thinks Avina may have shot the merchant, since she has the only gun in the building. PCs discuss for awhile, and retired into their rooms.

Almost everything points to me not shooting Toronto.

[Brian Skies]

I'm very interested to see what comes of Who carrying the bag of gems.

[FakeGod]
