Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

So she did hear me... “A mission from god, you say? To find a man with two right hands? That does seem rather interesting… I should like to see this man… Perhaps inquire about his dual appendages - are they both on his right side? Or are both of his thumbs on the left? Speaking of which, does he also have a left hand?” He took a breath, hoping that he wasn’t prying too much, it could probably be seen on his face. “Though you may not have been provided all of this information....” He thought for a moment, about nothing in particular, but he thought none the less. “I, myself, have been searching for my family for a long time…”

The wizard felt that one who traveled so much could perhaps shed some light on their whereabouts. “About fifteen years ago my entire village disappeared with the exception of myself, there may have been others, but if there were, they were gone before I took notice of them… I’ve been searching ever since. Losing them… it changed me… I usually am not the type to go on talking like this… But I thought I’d ask if you could possibly have seen anything like this before? In your travels… An entire village, three-thousand people, disappearing overnight…”

The Kin Bane - A Wild West Style Undead Hunting Campaign - Closed

It was the dead of night and Roy wouldn’t have been able to see if it weren’t for the lamps around town. Gas powered, with their fuel underneath the flame chambers in tin containers. The woman said something about a bush catching ablaze and talking to it… There’s probably someone in the bush, but after that thing, He glanced at the ashen remains of the… the… He wasn’t sure what to call it. I can go for some whiskey… The woman mentioned where her room was and instructed someone bring a bottle from the bar, she didn’t specify what type so Roy made his way back into the tavern. There were some folk still milling about before bed and no one seemed to mind the gunfire from before. Common occurrence?

“Barkeep.” The brit addressed the man behind the counter, he received a glance. “You have any bottles of whiskey for sale? And how much?” He wasn’t certain what the price would be since he wasn’t used to the American currency’s value.

“That’d be ‘bout…” He seemed to think for a bit, “Fifty cents.” Roy paid the man the his coin, not knowing if that was too expensive or not. He took the bottle up to the woman’s room, knocking before be entered, she was lounging on the other side of the room in a chair - waiting for people to come by for an explanation.

"So... who was that back there - the clawed man."

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

Melvus wasn’t sure if the elf heard him over the driver’s rant. Something about dragons and thieving, at any rate - the wizard didn’t understand the man. “I too have met a dragon, it didn’t try to eat me. Well.. not me in particular - it was a village. That village burned though… there wasn’t much I could do, frankly I’m not accustomed to fighting dragons. But yes, I did briefly speak to him, rather narcissistic, everything seemed to be about himself and anything I said, he didn’t seem to hear or care about. Though that could be that my voice couldn’t really overpower his.” He took a breath, assuming that he may ask the elf again in the future if she had indeed not heard him. “But yes, a mist dragon is made of mist. We may want to find some water-breathing potions or something similar before we face it - it could easily drown us.”

Cinder Sickness - A DnD style classic RP

The sun rises, the sun set and is replaced by the moon which follows suit. The days, seasons... Time goes on. Melvus recognized the hallowing from the day before, he hadn't realized it at the time, he still doesn't know who it originated from. It was the sound of loss, he had heard it enough while he fought for Aesil to know what it was. It could've very well been a villager... But it ran the risk of being one of his companions, that would be most troubling. Who would they have lost? And why did I fail to recognize it sooner...

The vagabond had already finished his meal and made his way outside of the establishment, the other members of their group seemed to be ready to leave the village and finally set out to find the rest of the ingredients which may save the children from their cinder sickness, before they burned at least. We have acquired the hellhound’s fang… That’s one item we will not need to bother with... Melvus had his list from the shop, still tucked away in his cloak.

Tear of Eyewing
Feather of Pegasus
Claw of Hellhound
Whisker of Gnoll
Blood of Mist Dragon

The wizard crossed the fang off of the list. Hmm… Sana likely has already mapped out which items we’ll acquire and where- His thoughts were interrupted by the innkeeper. The man grabbed Melvus’ hand and shook it furiously in thanks for his service to the village so far. Before he could reply the man was onto the next party-member. He took notice of the wagon after Sana had left. Everything seems to be happening so fast… Not a chance to ask about things… I suppose I’ll go where the wind takes me… That was about when he noticed the wind, his cloak and robes staving off the cold but his face was uncovered.

Stifling a yawn he found his horse, tied to a post near the inn. He walked the beast to the simple, yet large cart and tied it to one of the back rails on the cart. He then climbed aboard, the man, Tobias, took the reins of the cart and as everyone mounted and climbed they set off. It didn’t take long for Melvus to feel drowsy, but he didn’t want to fall asleep, he rather wanted to speak with his companions and get to know them better - they should know each other if they’re going to fight alongside one another. Sitting on the bench near the front of the cart, his horse trotting along behind, Melvus spoke up. “Vaeri, was it? An elf assisting humans? I mean no disrespect, I’m simply curious.”
