Drow sightings

[Eyes of Sundren]

[slight edit]

Posted in seemingly random locations in Sundren is a parchment addressed to an unknown group of people. A cryptic last sentence seems to make no sense at all. ((If you happen to be in the area and can oppose a Hide roll of 35 vs Spot, you see a dark hooded and cloaked man putting up the posters, otherwise you have no idea who put it up))


Brothers,

Rumors of drow elf sightings have been increasing as of late. Just yesterday, a boisterous tiefling bragged of killing one in the Viridale woods. Be vigilant. Learn why they are leaving the Underdark and from where. Are they seeking to cause havoc or are they followers of Eilistraee and seek repentance for their evil brethren's ways?

"If thirty goblins and thirteen orcs met at the crossroads, only one orc will remain standing."

For Sundren!

Aratil manages to take read the entire way through the message before it falls to dust in his hands.

He makes a mental note to find out whether or not there are other Eilistraeeans about.

Abel views the message, and makes exact copies of the words (not the handwriting or any enchantments) used on new pieces of parchement, then wanders the public areas tacking it up in front of as many witnesses as possible.
Anyone that appraoches can hear him say,
"We need to do something about these evil, bloodthirsty, baby eating, demon sucking, drow. Kill them all and quick about it."

At the bottom of each duplicate message is written:

I offers 10,000 coins for the head and heart of any drow delivered to me.
The head will provide proof it is a drow, and the heart will provide proof that there will not be a drow cleric raising the body later on.
Contact my seneschal, Abel, for the exchange.

*Mavar comes accross a duplicate message*

As he reads troughout the message he quickly noticed the saying of 10.000 stags.

*He says to himself* The stags be a fair price... yet I'd kill them for free, pherhaps I should gain more knowledge about these certain drows first...

*He only notices one name Abal and writes it on a piece of paper*

[DeathRose52]

*Comes across the notice, rubbing his chin slightly before shaking his head* "Anything they do not understand or wish to learn about, they go and put up a bounty. To bad in a drow case it can be more true then not. Hmmm i wonder what made them come to the surface in the first place."

After having seen a sign put up on a tree in the Exigo trading post Vannie takes a look at the sign again and leaves a note tacked onto it. It says:
"I have felled a Drow. Have your follower meet me at he exigo trading post when you have a chance and I will give you the proof.
-Vannie"

[Gevaudan]

*Though she likely does not get them all Taja makes it a point to quietly burn all messages she finds while no one is looking*

[sharringtonm]

The Dragon allowed himself to be seen leaving Sestra with a large, waterproof bag, tied to his hips. As he walked a shape inside like that of a large ball rolled around and made squishy noises.

Unjust hunts

Cybil walks by one posting reading the lines and the bounty offered. Her face looks sad as she reads the words and she promises to bring this to the Triumvirate if they do not already know of this. Justice cannot be done by slaughtering all Drow on sight -- some may actually be followers of their redeemer.

"How many innocent and good people will be slaughtered in the name of this justice."

She walks away mumbling something about oppressions of prejudged races.

*Ru'umel notices the message, reads it, his eyes widen in shock, he runs off to the woods as fast as his feet will carry him*

[darcane]

The Exigo Trade Post was lively and boisterous as usual that late afternoon.Dusk was approaching and the giant blazing orb within the sky would finally give in to night.Trying his best to be casual,the drow wizard,Xe'Vvyr was dressed in full armor and helm ,blending in with the afternoon activity.The drow wizard is not an idiot,this particular drow was highly intelligent even amongst his own kind.He was also knowledgeable in many forms of language.

It didnt take him long to notice the numerous amount of postings..They were messages,bounties posted for death of drow." The dragon." He whispered."I must gather more information on this dragon and his lapdog ,Abel.I must know what they look like,where they dwell and if they have my ssssissster."Hissing the last word through gritted teeth."Though,she is out of the way,wont have to worry about answering to her any longer,but im still intrigued and wish to know of her demise."

Scurrying off in a more humanly gait than usual and hating the whole idea of disguise , he hurried back to their dwelling to formulate a plan with Malo'jen.They must know more about this,DRAGON.

Around the rural areas of the valley of Sundren, new posters are placed up on trees by a figure dressed in all black, in the middle of a moonless night. He glances around slowly with his invisibilty detection spell helping him, trying to make sure no one is watching.

I am offering 12,500 coins for the head and heart of any drow delivered to me.
The head will provide proof it is a drow, and the heart will provide proof that there will not be a drow cleric raising the body later on.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
OOC: Zahssiprina has already been collected on, please do not try to collect on her again should you kill her.

[darcane]

She tries to tell him that her death was just rumors,Xe'Vvyr listens to his sister's comments that the surfacers lie and her death never happened.He still doesnt believe her,but goes along with what she says,not wanting to enrage her.

Brothers,

I have received reports of a drow sighting accompanied by about three hooded companions. The group was seen in the Viridale and in the caves killing and robbing travelers. A message was delivered to them through an intermediary to leave Sundren. Assume that the warning will not be followed. Travel in small groups and use whatever means necessary to protect the citizens.

"A fortnight and a day makes for thirteen sightings of the moon"

For Sundren!

I am offering 12,500 coins for the head and heart of any drow delivered to me.

The head will provide proof it is a drow, and the heart will provide proof that there will not be a drow cleric raising the body later on.

Landaren reads the sign, and as a wandering merchant realizes the danger posed by the drow threat.

He decides to up the stakes a bit, offering to match The Dragon offer if a written letter from said party is given to him stating he has received the aforementioned parts.

He thinks to himself for a moment 25,000 stags, quite a sum.
