Grunt's Ghosts

"Not likely as we are leaving. But we will remember him if we see him again." Ryo says as they leave the bar.

Moving on now?

Yld'dric is still shaking off his headache when the group meets up with Al-Azzaram.
Having his skin start buzzing as Seph mentions his intent does little to improve.

"What type of religious purification ceremonies are we talking about here?", Yld'dric mutters whilst rubbing his temples.

Geth roll 1d20+7 for Insight on are the gems the sage is carrying likely to hurt the virus?

Seph lets you view his chest and as far as you can tell, the gems are normal. There are some small sapphires and topaz stones along with a lot of quartz and worthless, but sparkly minerals. The gems are most likely symbolic or used as a component in a ritual.

I'll get some more up here later. I have family in town this weekend, so I may just update this post in a bit and resume again on Monday.

Sighing heavily, Erethun turns from his company to their contact, "Well Lorzenn, it seems our mind is made up. Thank you again for the work," adding as they make their way toward the door, "and of course, as always, if this is a trap we'll kill you." his smile a bit too warm with that remark, not that this is the first time he's made a threat to the half-elf's life. At this point it feels more like a routine contract rider than anything else.

On the way to meet with the tiefling, Erethun maintains a sort of...haphazard silence about himself. He's not exactly quiet, instead muttering to either himself or no one in particular. Maintaining an unearthly tight grip on his staff, save when his fingers idly trace over the etchings upon it.

After the introductions, Erethun is attentive to the mission briefing, his ears perking at the mention of religious rituals. Hopefully the trip will afford him ample opportunity to consult the tieflings notes on this tribe and their rituals. As for the mission itself, Seph's plans seem straightforward enough, to the point that Erethun begins to scratch his head idly.

"Perhaps I'm missing something here my friend, but this all seems a bit routine. Yet here you are requesting, " gesturing to his company, "rather heavy support. It makes one curious what you feel like you need to be prepared for."

I haven't forgot the game, just had family/school/work eat up a lot of time this week. I have next week off, and a cake schedule starting in April, so it'll pick up quite a bit starting Monday. Thanks for your patience guys.

No worries. Although in the meantime I realized one of the spells I'd picked (Hammer of Faith) was essentially useless to me, so I swapped it for Cure Wounds

Hey, just wanted to apologize for dropping this and not checking in with you guys. I had some personal stuff come up in addition to work, school, and kid, so I just didn't have the time I thought I would. I finish school in January and may pick up again then.

No problem, life is infinitely more important.
