Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Your team splits up to look around. Yorik goes to question some of the workers gruffly. You can tell most don't really know why he's here and are intimidated by him, both because he is a guardsman and because he is an orc. He towers over most of the men, many whom themselves were quire burly, and even other orcs didn't look quite as imposing as he did in his armor. Looking around the Mill mostly reveals much of what you'd expect of a mill: lots of bags of grain, some processed some not, machinery in the form of gears and parts needed to fix up the mill, and more confused workers. Soon a old woman approaches Yorik with much more attitude than the rest of the workers, and from her outfit she was obviously not just a worker but some form of supervisor.

While the party was searching you'd get a telepathic ping from Dinah. She seems to have found something, though she lacked the means to actually tell you what it is. But whatever it was, you could feel her presence towards the back of the mill, in the direction of the river.

Keratia: Blade Maiden’s Exploits

The Sahuagin was just about ready to rip into Bugsy when you intercept the creature. It goes to bite at you, but instead of sinking it's teeth into flesh, it instead tastes steel as your rapier pierces through it's soft scaly head. Blood drips down your blade as the Sahuagin vainly tries to continue fighting but remains motionless forevermore as you toss it's body aside. Now Vastly outnumbered, the lone Sauagin considers beating a retreat to fight another day, just as Sticky lands a crossbow shot right into the creature's neck. Foolishly it pulls out the crossbow bolt and proceeds to rapidly bleed to death, barely making it to the side of the boat before expiring.

By now the Sahuagins were mostly being repelled, but the captain and first mate must still contend with the sea beasts who were on board. Cracks of lightning flashed to reveal these beasts to be large octopi, covered with coral and scale armor. Vehafor looked towards you. "We go fight the monsters!" Sticky went to Buggsy's side, who was bleeding profusely. "Caeda, I'll take Buggsy down unda an make sure he stays alive! I'll be back to help ASAP!" Buggsy couldn't really muster up the energy to protest, and it was likely better for him to get some proper treatment as the ship's only medical professional. Sticky and a few other crewmen would take Buggsy back below deck for his own safety, leaving you with the Lizardman to contend with the last of the threats on the ship.

Overlord: Momento Mori

Loli Tank is a fun concept, though how do you imagine that she’ll be out and about? After all you did create a new character so you don’t have someone couped up in the Chateau. I don’t imagine the Chateau’s only/primary Smith can afford to go on adventures.

Yorik smiles and grabs his shield. “Alright, let’s bust sum faces!” Yorik charges out of the barracks as Atisha grumbles under her breath. Following Yorik towards the mill, it was a few hours after noon, and it seems like business in the market was starting to pick up as people were leaving work to do their shopping. Yorik was loud and imposing, telling people to clear away as he marched towards the mill.

At the mill, it was a large building next to the river. There was a water mill attached to the building and one windmill standing on the other side of the river. There were many workers going about their business there moving sacks of grain that were going to be grounded down, carts and wagons were going to market, and just people milling about. Upon seeing Yorik many of the workers were confused and concerned, having not expect a guardsman to arrive. The Orc turns to the group.

“Now I know Atisha said not ya get involved, an I’m sure if I tell ya ya do sumthin we both gunna get an earful. But practically speakin, Ye all better at this Sorta thing den I am. So we gunna look around da mill together, see if we can’t figure out wots about ta happen.”

It’ll go along the coast. That being said, there isn’t a road leading south, so you’ll be trekking through some rough terrain.

Nope, that was a typo on my part. I wrote that post via cellphone ya see, so when I’m blazing through the text sometimes I miss small stuff like that. The bounty is 5k.

The Vanishing Kingdom

Tyrael looked to Gossk seeing that the Size Shift spell worked without any issue. ”Practice.” Was all Tyrael said in regards to where he got his magic powers from. And it wasn’t entirely untrue. But it also wasn't important right now. The girls began to speak among themselves and fortunately one of them knew how to operate the skiff. ”Good. Than you get on the boat when it’s free, and make prepared to leave. I will repair the vessel.”

While Gossk was moving the skiff, Tyrael looked skeptically at Lynn’s water Orb. He knew there were a variety of healing Magics, and Tyrael could certainly use a bath right a little now, but he was also uncomfortable about how she may potentially drown him in a conveniently head size ball of water. He didn’t say anything of course and simply tells Zastrial, who has remained invisible, to watch Lynn and prepare for any treachery. Afterwards Tyrael walked into the water orb for whatever Lynn plans on doing. ”This is... Strange.”

Atisha raised her eye brow and looked to Yorik. He just shrugs. "Dun pin dis one on me Ears, I thought da boss was still in da sewers." Atisha looked back towards you and the group, carefully tapping her fingers in deep thought. "Hmm... Ordinarily, I'd have to ask you to let us take care of this. That being said, I'm not finished here, and I don't know specifically if the captain and the others are in trouble..." The dark elf motioned for Yorik to leave. "Yorik, go check on the mill. This isn't an arrest, this is just a patrol. The rest of you... I can not allow you to interfere or be involved in any investigations. You're still under suspicion after the incident at the alleyway. That being said... You are allowed to accompany Yorik during his patrol, as long as you do not impede his work. And should he need any assistance or is in any danger, well... You are free to do whatever you must, so long as you cause no harm to bystanders. Understand?" Atisha turned her full body towards the group as she pushes her glasses up. "Allow me to be clear: Yorik is the one who is to patrol and investigate. Do not do anything that would impede or otherwise prevent him from doing his job. And I expect you all to be on your best behavior and do not disturb or otherwise bother any townsfolk. With this said, you understand what I'm telling you, yes?"

Despite the silence of his compatriots, Hector didn't seem to understand your words and was about to speak again. Fortunately Kulee used his considerably large hands to cover Hector's face and push him into the embrace of his female companion, effectively silencing him and ending the otherwise awkward topic. Meanwhile at the bounty board, you'd easily see that an old poster. On it was a somewhat crude drawing of what you'd assume to be an orc, who has half his face covered in some sort of black paint, or perhaps it's suppose to be a cloth. Underneath the portrait was more information: Captain Goreguts Blood-Waters, wanted dead or alive by the nation of Doros, 5000 GP bounty. There wasn't much other information, but Goreguts was the only other bounty here worth this much. The other notices were more for chores such as needing extra hands for fishing, someone hiring miners, and a missing persons notice for 100 GP if the person is found. Appears to be some young man named Robert.

Finally, there was one thing that would catch your eye. Something familiar. The symbol of Maglubiyet, the Bloody Axe, draw on the corner of a relatively new bounty-notice. The request on this notice simply asks for anyone to investigate a shipwreck south of Red Shard. There was no given reward except that whoever finds the wreck may keep whatever is there. There wasn't even any information about where to report back after an investigation was finished. The request was far too vague and with no reward no one would bother looking into it beyond curiosity, but surely there was a reason why Maglubiyet symbol was drawn on this particular notice. It was no mere doodle either; the details were far too accurate for this to simply be a childish drawing of a regular bleeding hatchet, and looks far too similar to your own holy symbol to be coincidence.

"Alright then. Let's go see Atisha." Everyone geared up and would leave the Silver Stag to head back to the barracks. Dinah hops onto Buddy next to Shortfang while Syfr takes into the skies and provides recon. Getting to the barracks was easy enough, it seems like Atisha is in the process of interviewing the others right now. She was grilling one of the Lightning Company guards, who was without his weapons and armor, with Yorik standing menacingly behind him with his flail. Upon seeing the group Atisha has Yorik take the guard back to the holding cell while she looks at you. "Yes Sylvia, is there something you need?"
