Planescape (IC)

OOC: Oops I just realised I never inquired about starting equipment and funds for characters! I have no idea what Ismaelar has and whether he could pay the fine even if he wanted to. What should we do for starting equipment, money etc? Apologies if you mentioned it already in the OOC thread and I missed it...

BITS

Bits will take some time to check out how the corpse's got to their current state.  He considers taking a piece of the lizard men to try later in a stew but decides against it.

medicine checks.  12, 12, 14,19, 21  (last one was a natural 20).

Note if any of these happen to have been undead Bits would receive an additional +2 to the above roles.

 Bits notices that the Teifling appears light and frail -- likely she perished from old age.

The elf has no visible signs of death -- she must have been in excellent health before her heart stopped beating.

The changeling has been cut to ribbons and died of blood loss. Unwrapping the sheet a moment reveals the telltale cuts from razorvine, the deadly weed that grows throughout Sigil. The poor berk must have fallen into a thick patch of it and killed themself trying to pull themself free. Didn't get to the doctor in time.

The two lizardfolk seem more familiar though, and as Bits gets closer they notice a familiar rotting smell: Ghoul Fever. At midnight tonight they will rise as ghouls themselves, hungering for the flesh of the living. Certainly not the best passengers to have in one's cart, but for the Dustmen, this means the lizardfolk are one step closer to the True Death. And there are plenty of Dustmen back at the mortuary who might be able to control the ghouls for their own end...

"The Bleak Cabal," Ishmaelar muttered. "Perhaps not the best faction. But certainly an important one for the continued running of the city." Ishmaelar attempted to sidle off to the side slightly so the guard's spear was no longer pointing directly at his vitals. 

 The guard keeps her spear aimed at the Dragonborn and turns to the lead guard. He shrugs. "Your nihilism is a danger to the city, but it's true The Gatehouse keeps some of the rabble off the street..."

Another guard dismounts and looks over the thugs on the ground. "This one has a Xaositect tattoo. They are enemies of order."  

The lead guard considers the three in front of him with a deep frown...

"I'll let you off with a fine. Ten gold from each of you for disrupting the peace." 

Another guard chuckles at the unfairness of it. 

Quote from LinkArcher >>

 “If you’ll come with me…” Jules leads Ekthus to a more secluded spot. “I stole - er, borrowed, this scroll from the Doomguard. Trouble is, it’s in a mysterious language. I was wondering if you could possibly help me decode it.”

 Ekthus glides after Jules to the eave of the pillared porch lining the courtyard. "Hmmmmm... this worsens our standing with the Doomguard, but I admire the impulsiveness. As long as you are acting in right cadence with the universe."

He looks over the scroll for a long moment, examining it closely. 

"This cipher is unique to this message, encoded by the Doomguard who made it. I do not have the time to decipher this for you. But if you truly feel it is important, the universe will find the portal key for you. Go find Habel Marsh. He's on his way to the market.  I cannot say why you should find him, and that's why I know it is the right path." 

 “Habel, you say? Alright. Thanks Ekthus. I’ll be on my way.”
