Chilling Adventures in the North

Glarth shakes his head, "I'm sorry I can't just let anyone in. I don't know who you are. But what's this package that you speak of? Show me."

As all the events transcended, Muharg has been trying to keep up the pace of his comrades, but still lingers some 30 feet behind panting as he walks on the snow. "Aye! The Luskar.... Deliverers..." 

Qinfaren looks over at Shad to see if he will produce the package. 

"Do you know someone named Rool?" Qinfaren asks. "Likes to have a pint or two. Gets a little punchy? He sent you a parcel."

Shad stands close to the door. He opens one coat and then the second. Reaching deep into a pocket and looking over one shoulder for the rat, he lifts the bottle by its neck. If Glarth looks willing, Shad will hand it to him. 

If Monty is still around (the illusion only lasts of a minute), he will mirror Shad's actions.

DM Note: Monty will have disappeared by now.

Glarth takes the package from Shad and quickly opens it to see that it is a bottle of Shadowdale brandy.

"Shadowdale brandy..." he pauses and is momentarily lost in a long-forgotten memory. “There’s only one person who would send this to me… did he send you…?”

Suddenly there's loud squeaking as a giant rat lands on Bjorn, from the top of Glarth's home, it then tries to bite Bjorn

(Roll initiative: 16)

Qinfaren Initiative5 

Shad's initiative: 12

Bjorn Initiative 15

Arogna's initiative: 21

The giant rat then jumps off Bjorn and moves some distance away. Then it stops turns around and shifts back into a humanoid rat form.

"You'll never take my love!" she shouts at Glarth.

Muharg adjusts his belt and takes a couple of steps showing his palms in a sign of no agression “All right, all right. Why don’t you two” looks back at Glarth and back again at the woman “explain what is this all about? I’m sure Rool woudn’t be happy to know any of you are dead by the other’s hand because of him.” Gives an eloquent look at the woman.

Persuasion if needed: 19

"Glarth is trying to take Rool away from me," the woman snaps.

"That's Fanger Bosh, Rool's old flame," Glarth explains

Quote from RolloThePig >>

Are we in initiative still? Or can we all join in the discussion?

Well we just do group, and talking is just a free action.

"Muharg is right," Shad says. "The three of you, or better just Fanger and Rool, need to get together. Talk and/or shout this out." He is trying to be persuasive as well: 18. "But really, our work is done here," he says.

Qinfaren looks from Fanger to Glarth and then back.

"This is the same Rool from Luskan, right?" he asks. "Bit of a punchy drunk?"

He shakes his head wondering what there was about Rool that they had missed that would make him the object of such passion.

"To each their own I suppose. But while you're here, you are a wererat, right?" he asks Fanger. "What's that like?"

"I'm here to do more than just talk or shout,"  Fanger shouts back, but she makes no other movement. "Yes, I am a wererat. It's great for killing people who get in my way. Or those that I'm hired to kill."

Meanwhile, Glarth remains quiet behind you.

"Just tell her you ain't interested in him," Arogna growls to Glarth. "Then she'll go away and stop bothering us. We've had more than enough trouble now from this stupid lover's quarrel."

She cocks her head to one side thoughtfully. "I didn't meet this Rool. Likes drinking and fighting, huh? There must be something about him if you were both sweet on him. So, he's single?"

"No!" "No!" They both say together
