Fantasy RPGs » Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil » Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet http://www.roletohit.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rtttoee&action=display&thread=264 Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on Mar 4, 2009, 1:20am The Temple of Elemental Evil, in all of the Flanaess few phrases conjure the images that this one does. First defeated in the Battle of Emridy Meadows, the temple lay dormant for years. Although superstitious locals spread rumors about it most people thought that was the end of the evil cult. It was not to be so. The temple rose again, and this time was defeated by a band of adventurers. But can evil of the temple's magnitude ever be truly defeated? Now rumors of a band of Hobgoblins operating in the vicinity of the town of Hommlit are spreading. Whether this band has anything to do with the Temple of Elemental evil or not is unsure. One thing is well known, however, Humanoids have traditionally been the temple's favored troops. Is the temple attempting to rise again ? Is evil trying to spread it's dark web over Hommlet once more ? These questions and others, no doubt, have attracted you to this sleepy little burg. You met several others like you, fellow adventurers, on the way to this small town and are now seeking rest in it's well known inn, The Welcome Wench. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 15, 2009, 8:26pm A humanoid that resembles a drow but yet it's not a drow. A male with silver hair and drow eyes with black marks on his eyes wearing a studded leather armor carrying a scythe and have a hand crossbow on his belt walking with a purpose on the road. He looks angry and there is an illusion of a panther trotting along besides him. He walks into town ignoring everyone and even bumps into some people but continues on along. He finds the inn and pushs open the door and steps into the doorway, looking into the room with a scrowl. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by dungeoneer on Mar 15, 2009, 10:12pm A large Humanoid black panther comes walking into town, fine chainmail armor sparkling in any light, stopping to look at various shops along the way, He eventually finds the Inn, walking in, He looks around, seeing the panther by the Elf, he walks to it, and starts making cat sounds, throaty sounds mixed with quick chirps. OOC Speaking Feline Catfolk can do that Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Mar 17, 2009, 2:01am Meer A small [3'8:] figure makes his way into Hommlet. Hidden under a larger black, hooded cloak, it's impossible to say who or what he is. If one is close enough, they might see 3 eyes the color of hot steel peering out of the hood. The figure walks through town, looking from side to side, and finally heads to the Temple of Ehlonna. Once there, he is greeted by a cleric, "I must speak with the Temple's High Cleric. It is a matter of most urgency. I am Meer and i have come a long way. here is a letter of introduction." He never removes his hood and waits in the temple entrance as the cleric disappears inside. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by noozoo on Mar 19, 2009, 9:47pm "Organized evil is the worst! They're insidious, powerful, they enslave and destroy so many lives. I hate it! Brigands acting alone are bad - they rape and pillage and murder, but it's when they organize that I really get worried. That's why I'm here." The wild looking woman with the tatoos and piercings seemed a little drunk. If you'd been in the Wench since she started drinking, you'd be surprised she wasn't on the floor passed out. But she could hold her ale, this one. That's what she drank, only ale. Truth be told, she ate a big meal, too, with bread, stew, some cheese and some fruits at the end, so perhaps that diluted the ale... If you were sitting on her left, you couldn't help but notice that part of her head was shaved clean, above her ear, which had three earrings to match other piercings on her face. And on the shaved skin around her ear was a long, intricate tattoo depicting, among other things, a familiar looking mask, a lustful, naked couple in embrace, and an ox; and the tatoo seemed to continue down to her shoulder. Her clothing was loose, but you might also notice a chain shirt on underneath, so that you couldn't see more of the tattoo. You might wonder or ask about the rest of the tattoo, for she seemed to be cheerful and relaxed enough, even (or especially) when off-color jokes were being told at the table. She made sure to include everyone in the conversation, including some that some other people avoided. If you were there before she started on the ale you may have seen her juggling a little, dancing around and concentrating on keeping five objects constantly in flight, making jokes the whole time. But she didn't put her helm out for donations, so perhaps she was just trying to elicit some positive response from others. That is, until she "accidentally" missed one ball and it careened off to bop the side of the head of someone not paying attention to her; after which she profusely apologized and offered the dour faced man an ale. "Good thing it's so soft, or that might've hurt more!" she joked. Later, while in her drunken rant, she told of what she'd heard. It seems a simple farming family, having dinner one night, was interrupted by a group of hobgoblins. The bastards committed unspeakable acts on every member of the family, including all the children, and eventually killed them all, except the mother. They forced her to watch everything. The poor woman went crazy but had some moments of stability in which she told her story. Shortly after that she hanged herself in the church she was taking refuge in.

The hobgoblins were from around here. Disgust and hatred was visible on Absinthe's face - that was her name, Absinthe O'Mara. She stood up, nearly as tall as a man, and went to find the loo, stating obviously, "I gotta piss." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on Mar 24, 2009, 8:52pm The Welcome Wench: As you all enter the inn you find a well kept, but rather old, establishment. The food coming from the Kitchen smells heavenly and a couple of young girls circulate through the dinning hall taking orders. After a moment a young elf takes the stage with a lute. He begins to play and sing, but his musical talent is lacking, to say the least. Everyone else in the room seems to be ignoring him.

Templeof Ehlonna The temple is rather small. A golden haired Half-Elven female is comes to the door. " I am the only cleric here. My name is Jennithar Rhengold, how may I help you ?" She says to the stranger at her door. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cybersavant on Mar 25, 2009, 10:37pm

Have there been any unusual activities around here lately?"

Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 26, 2009, 7:58am The illusion moves to the other side of the drow-looking humanoid since he can mentally control his illusion, and the humanoid looks at the catfolk humanoid, "Stay away from us, fool." with a sneer. He walks away from him and walks down to the center of the room and continues to scan the room.

Then she stands up and recites, "Play the lute, try the flute, if you're a brute the point is moot. I stamp my boot since you're so cute; You ought to shoot for lots of loot!" Then quietly to others at her table: "... then you can afford some singing lessons."

Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on Mar 28, 2009, 1:29am The priestess shakes her head and says, " Can't really tell you anything that's been going on. Town seems real quiet. If you want to know about unusual goin's on Jaroo, the old druid of the grove, would be the man to ask. He's been around here since before that party of adventurers cleared out the Moat House." Once he's done singing the elf heads straight for Absinthe, " Are you an adventurer ?" he says. " I bet you are, you look like one, especially the way you can hold your drink. I bet you're here to have a go at the Moat House. You know, no one's been in there for years." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by noozoo on Mar 28, 2009, 8:16am Absinthe's ears perk up. "Adventurer? I suppose you could say that... Mostly I'm interested in drinking and gambling. But I heard there were some bad things happening around here. Is that at the Moat house? Is there an evil temple there or something?" Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 28, 2009, 7:57pm Sodil overhears them talking and goes towards the elf bard. He asks, "So, you know where this moathouse is then?" Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on Mar 29, 2009, 12:04am The elf stretches his hand out to Absinthe, " The neame's Redithidoor Halfmoon, I want to be an adventurer some day myself,

like the ones that took down the Temple so many years ago. Every now and then, though not Very often I admit, I can sorta make people look at me different with my music." Looking at the strange half Drow he says, " I was just out there about a week and a half ago. Was thinking about exploring it. I heard some very strange noises coming out of the place, undead if you ask me. Well, anyway, since I'm not a holy man I decided to come back to town instead." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 29, 2009, 7:54am The half-drow sneers at the elvish bard and says, "Just take me there and I'll take care of it. When you take me there, you go home." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by noozoo on Mar 29, 2009, 1:36pm Absinthe shakes the singer's hand and says, "I'm Absinthe. Well met, Redithidoor. And this brave Elf who is going to take on... whoever... by himself is...." holding out her hand to the half-drow, smiling and waiting for his name. "So, do you guys think there's a connection between the recent humanoid activity 'round here and this temple? Oh, like some ale? BARTENDER! I like Elvish wine best myself, but I don't think they have any here." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 29, 2009, 8:38pm When Absinthe offers her hand, the half-drow declines and he looks at her with a scrowl, "No ale for me or wine. It messes up your mind and your timing. So, no. Drink yourself to death for all I care." Then, he turns to the elvish bard, "I'm waiting." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by noozoo on Mar 29, 2009, 9:00pm Absinthe laughs a big laugh, and when she stops she says to the bard, winking, "Take him! Wait till midnight, though, because that's the best time for that kind of thing." She turns to the darkish elf and smiles, "Mr. Cat, I sincerely hope I won't be 'turning' you in a few days' time." She grabs her holy symbol when she says 'turning'. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by dungeoneer on Mar 29, 2009, 9:27pm I'll stop talking to your cat. Apparently, it does not have much to say, anyways. Rorrlin says, as he looks around for a seat near the cat.

Meer "Many thanks." Meer takes his leave and follows the directions to the old druid.

out." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Mar 31, 2009, 2:19am The half-drow sneers at the female and grips his scrythe tightly and then says to the bard, "Okay. Let's go now." he waits for the bard to lead him there. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by noozoo on Mar 31, 2009, 7:48am OOC: What time of day is it now? "Redithidoor, if you want I can accompany you. But I'm not going to go inside, not with Mr. Cat. I'm sure he's capable of taking care of himself, but it's me and you I'm worried about. I'm curious about this place. How far is it?" Absinthe looks at the big cat man. "How about you, Cat Man, you coming?" Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by dungeoneer on Mar 31, 2009, 7:00pm The names Rorrlin, and, yes, I'll come along. This sounds like it might be fun, even with, All Attitude Elf of some sort here, tilts head in direction of half drow. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Apr 1, 2009, 4:39pm The half-drow shoots a glance at the catman and the female, "I never ask you all to come with me and I'm sure don't need any of you. However, if you must follow me, just stay out of my way and we'll do fine." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by noozoo on Apr 1, 2009, 8:44pm "I feel like going along just to bug you now. But no, I'm going to learn the way, scout the site from a distance, and protect my friend Redithidoor here. So don't worry, we won't get in your way." Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on Apr 1, 2009, 11:42pm Meer arrives at at an old but well maintained grove near the south east part of the town. A path leads into the center of it. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by salvatoria on Apr 2, 2009, 10:35am She wears a blood red cloak, dark brown clothes. She carries a short bow and scimitar. Over her back she carries a large bag like item. A day earlier a stranger enters the town after many a days travel. She enters the town through the gate and asks a your guard, " Do you have a church and a nice inn?" He replies, "Sure, go 1/3 of a mile and you will see the temple if you need a rooms to rent to stay in or to just pray." "Thank you sir." When she arrives at the temple she rents a room for an hour to pray and ask god what he wants her to do next. Once finished she heads for the inn. After exploring the town and spending a little time at the church Thothethiollal returns to the inn and orders her dinner. She sits at a table in the corner where she can see everything going on in the inn. Theo, as her friends call her, chuckles at the goings on between the half-drow and the others in the dining room. Finally she gets up and moves over to the bard, " Hail and well met, may I ask what all of the action is about? Is anyone going to explore the temple outside of town if so can I join you?"

"I'm thinking of going up to just scout it out. Mr. Cat here is planning on going inside and taking care of the baddies, I think. I'm Absinthe, and this is Redithidor the singer... and this is Rrorlin the... " she looks at him ... "warrior?. Redi - can I call you that? - Redi here says there were 'undead sounds' coming from there. I think it's interesting that the hero who's going to sort out all the ghosts and ghouls hasn't told us his name, so when Redi sings his history, he's going to have to call him 'The darkish elf with the scythe and the panther phantasm' or some such. Not to mention my limerick, should I compose one for him. Rrorlin's going to be a tough name to rhyme..." She turns to the newestcomer and says, "So you better tell us your name, lest you be sung as 'Little Red Riding Hood' or some equally silly moniker. I hope you have a short name..." She nods her head and takes a swig of her ale. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by dungeoneer on Apr 3, 2009, 12:49am Well, at least you dont have an atittude like the Half Drow. He probably wont care, I dont mind if you join our merry band. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on Apr 3, 2009, 1:22am After calling out for some time an old human male wearing leather armor and carrying a staff steps out of the underbrush in the grove to meet Meer. " Can I help you somehow", he says. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Apr 3, 2009, 8:31am The drow-looking elf gives out a loud sigh and says to the female bard, "Trust me. you don't want to know me or my history. However, if you must know. It's Sodil. That's all that all of you need to know. Now, let's get going!!" Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by salvatoria on Apr 3, 2009, 10:09am She replies, " Name is Thothethiollal Natasha Spellweaver," smiling amusingly," you can call me Theo if you like." " I walked past the temple yesterday and even 5 miles away I could sense the evil radiating from the area. And no I am not a cleric, I am a spell caster and a fairly good fighter as well."

dark, I agree we should wait. We won't see too much in this light, especially me. We can bring the horses along in the morning to help carry back the body.

Besides, I haven't finished my ale, or had dessert yet!"

Since Sodil has gone outside to wait, Absinthe will side up to Redi the singer and suggest to him, "Why don't you tell the impatient fellow outside that you'll take him in the morning, when the birds are singing and the dew is fresh on the grass? You know, put an Elven spin on it. If you do that, you'll have time to sing more songs tonight, and the safety of some additional company tomorrow." She points to Theo and Rrorlin and herself. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by dungeoneer on Apr 8, 2009, 10:26pm Rorrlin puts his hand on his chest in a feign of offense, Me? Dont you get any ideas either, hehe, especially after you find out how soft and cuddly I am, hehe Rorrlin says, looking at Theo. I dont see really well in dark places either, and I know my horse wont like walking around in the dark. So, first light sounds good to me to. Sodil can start walking by himself, if he wants to Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on Apr 9, 2009, 11:46am Sodil goes back in and asks the elven bard for directions and if received, he'll head off on his own.

Meer

"Excuse me, good sir. Oh, what a lovely wolf you've got."

Absinthe: Good point. I'm carrying everything I need. The only thing was whether we would need to bring back a body. On the other hand, I don't think any of us know who he is or where he's from, so we might just have to bury him out here. I'm fine just walking if everyone else is.

Lying near the moat is the corpse of a giant frog.

(3/29)(Critcal Low Health) Sodil wakes up and then goes find the corpse of the frog and if found, looks it over. (OOC) Not sure if he is fully healed or healed at all. Natural Healing With a full night’s rest (8 hours of sleep or more), you recover 1 hit point per character level. Any significant interruption during your rest prevents you from healing that night. If you undergo complete bed rest for an entire day and night, you recover twice your character level in hit points.

Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on May 15, 2009, 10:57pm Absinthe estimates the runoff stream to be 11' across, give or take and about 3' deep. Although, as with any other stream, parts are deeper and wider. She sees no bodies in the stream. Rrorlin finds tracks around the place, many of them. Most look human, however one set is definitely not human. Where the southeast tower must have once been, and near the northwest corner of the structure areas of wall have fallen into the moat providing area where you could cross the moat on the rubble ( The distance between the shore and nearest stone is marked in red on the map below. )

When she reaches the NE stream, she looks in the water and checks out how wide and deep it is. On the way back, she looks to the other side, to see if, the next time, there is a path she can take, unseen, from the SW corner to the NW corner.

Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by cpanthersfan on May 19, 2009, 1:26pm (OOC) Since I can't see it on here at the library for some reason and from what I can tell from my blackberry, Sodil is somewhere on the right side to the North.

Yes, the door is open. As near as I can tell, that is part of the wall. The walls are crenelated so there is an inside walkway along the wall. I would assume that notch in it is a part of the walkway that has collapsed.

Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by dungeoneer on May 20, 2009, 10:32pm Rorlin will stay by Absinthe for now. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on May 20, 2009, 10:53pm AREA 4 The interior of this old tower appears to have once sported a wooden staircase, an upper floor and a roof. Now, each of these is mostly gone, leaving only a hollow cylinder, blackened on the inside by a fire from long ago. The ground is covered in wooden, stone, and twisted iron debris, most of it at least a little charred. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by noozoo on May 21, 2009, 7:52am Absinthe quickly looks for a place she could hide should the need arise, and then focuses on the courtyard. Where is Redi? If he's nearby, Absinthe quietly suggests he go pick up the dagger. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on May 22, 2009, 2:35am

she tries to escape, QUIETLY and quickly. Here is Absinthe's escape route. (trying the image include for the first time) And if she can reach her destination at the top of the left wall, she'll stay down and listen first. She will not poke her head up yet, or let herself be visible from any part of inside the moat house. And she'll hold her shield above her like an umbrella in case she encounters some acid rain or liquid fire or dragon pee or something like that.

Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by noozoo on May 25, 2009, 12:11pm Actually, if she can reach the top of the lowest part of the tower wall, she'll first check to see 1) if the angled remains of the wall going left or right look scalable (they look almost like steps, in the picture), and 2) if the boards on top of the tower look like they could support her weight if she was right against the north side. Also, how high is the tower? Looks like about 35 feet from the picture, but I'd like a second opinion.

Kicking up the dust and debris, causing a blinding effect for those on the ground. Blinded The character cannot see. He takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class, loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), moves at half speed, and takes a -4 penalty on Search checks and on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Spot checks) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) to the blinded character. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them. Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet

Re: Chapter:1 The town of Hommlet Post by Elminster Aumar on Today at 1:12am Absinthe made it to the top of the tower, the boards look a little rickety, but they are holding for now. The dragon is hovering just above where the second story would be, say about 18' off the ground and is man sized. It's hide is a medium blue color and seems to be giving off a hum and crackling sound. You can smell the smell lightning makes when it strikes. ( ozone ).
