==Leaving The Temple Of Kali==

==Taid==

After netting themselves a wand of cure light wounds, [[The Hunted]] decide it is best for them to push onwards and restock their supplies at the next town - [[Taid]]. Here, they are informed by the brothers [[Awler Hatt|Awler]] and [[Banit Hatt]] that the marketplace has become the home of an enraged woolly rhinoceros. Rather than be disuaded, the party take the opportunity to assist the town for payment and "preferential trading privileges" in the event they come across the two trader brothers again - provided the rhino can be subdued rather than killed. This is eventually achieved. The town alchemist, also trapped in the market square, was very grateful for the assistance.

Later, the party either took the opportunity to craft various equipment, including a new cure wand, or kicked back for some R&R at the local skimpy-bar-equivalent The Boo Boo Lounge.
  
She explains that she is not human, and was created long ago for a purpose. When [[Magni]] asks what purpose she advises that she does Kali's will, either staying death or dealing it. The dwarf squints inquisitively at her and asks whether she's staying or dealing death at the moment.

==Osont==

The next morning, [[Osont]] was less than a day's travel away. Quickly finding the terminal, marking the opposite end of the line to [[Madrill]], the place [[The Hunted]] were directed by [[Burim Lorpen|the body of Burim Lorpen]]. There they encounter [[Bingo Barr]] and [[T.O.M.A.S.]], and mill for a bit with the rest of the crowd headed to Madrill. After being assured that they have some time to kill, [[Magni]] heads into town to inquire about the availability of weapons - only to have the questions reversed when the storekeeper becomes curious regarding the nature of [[Landra|Landra's]] rifle. Magni agrees to fetch her and heads back. Meanwhile, The Hunted agree that the construct T.O.M.A.S. may well have important infomation, and encourage the [[Hand of Kali]] to have a chat with it, since it was instantly warm towards her.
  
The [[Hand of Kali]] enigmatically states that "They have lives like flies, they come and they go."
+
The [[Hand of Kali]] is treated to a surprisingly private conversation with [[T.O.M.A.S.]] within the protection of its own armor. There, T.O.M.A.S. recalls meeting a man in [[Madrill]] who was very tall and spoke of the same shadowy assailants currently hunting [[The Hunted]]. They also discuss what it means to be alive, and the question of whether or not THEY, as constructs, are alive. Awkward construct possible-flirting is rife in the entire conversation. The conversation ends on a dark note; [[T.O.M.A.S]] warns [[Hand of Kali|The Hand]] of oncoming danger: "Danger - Scarce!"
  
[[Landra]] attempts to summarise the situation, asking "You woke up fully formed, ages ago, as some kind of shape-shifter?". She is corrected, the [[Hand of Kali]] is not a shape-shifter.
+
==The Second Attack==
 
+
The [[Hand of Kali]] and [[Magni]] both return, but neither is able to relay their respective messages - [[T.O.M.A.S.]] announced that everyone must board, and that he is momentarily leaving - ahead of schedule. At the same time, unnatural darkness descends and another shadow assailant appears, this one different to the first. It heads straight for [[The Hunted]], with no regard whatsoever for the panicking patrons. This time, The Hunted are able at great risk to bring down and eventually (apparently) destroy the creature, with a hand from [[T.O.M.A.S]]. They simultaneously manage to board the construct for its trip to [[Madrill]].
[[Tharin]] pipes up, asking "If you worship death, then why are you afraid of it?"
+
 
+
The [[Hand of Kali]] explains that at one time she was not, now she is, and she prefers it that way. She accepts that she is merely one of many.
+
 
+
[[Tharin]] asks "How many hands does [[Kali]] have?"
+
 
+
"As many as she needs."
+
 
+
[[Tharin]] mentions that as a [http://sargeincharge.wrongtown.org/index.php/Werl_-_Races#Halflings Halfling] he has always had the chance to get to know people; he's not used to having to deal with people he doesn't know.
+
 
+
==Moit Snabur==
+
Returning to the [[Barrowsea]] docks, the party quickly finds [[Moit Snabur]] and questions him about the box. It becomes clear that though he was well paid he thought he was smuggling something on-board ''for'' the occupants, rather than anything malicious. Moit tells them that he was paid by [[Burim Lorpen]], and gives up his address readily enough the moment aggression is shown.
+
 
+
==Burim Lorpen==
+
[[The Hunted]] gather outside the house of [[Burim Lorpen]] and discuss the best way to handle the situation. It is agreed that [[Magni]] will go down an alley and wait at the back door, while the [[Hand of Kali]] enters through an upstairs window. [[Landra]] asks if anyone else can open the lock, and when told "Well I might be able to, but it's okay, you do it." she shoots the lock out of the frame. [[Tharin]] agrees to keep watch outside while the others enter.
+
 
+
On entering the home, [[Landra]] and [[Kul'theras]] find the body of a man they presume to be [[Burim Lorpen]] pinned to a wall and disembowelled. An examination of the organs strewn around the room seemed to indicate that his spleen and one kidney were missing.
+
 
+
Meanwhile the [[Hand of Kali]] finds a large chest containing 2000GP worth of uncut gemstones and coinage.
+
 
+
[[Magni]] grows bored of waiting for the others to remember him and knocks at the back door. On seeing the carnage, he asks if any of the "finger-wavers" can talk to a dead man. It is suggested that they transport the corpse to the [[Temple of Kali]] and pay for a [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/s/speak-with-dead Speak with Dead] spell. [[Magni]] heads outside and finds a [[Captain Nightsoil|man]] pushing a privy cart, and arranges to rent it from him for 2 hours.
+
 
+
They empty the chest, load the corpse into it and then the chest into the cart.
+
 
+
==Speaking With The Dead==
+
The clerics of [[Kali]] agree to cast the spell, and tell [[The Hunted]] that they can have two questions, which are as follows:
+
 
+
'''Q:''' Who hired you to organize getting the large box onto The Wandering Star?<BR>
+
'''A:''' Noooo naaaaame.
+
<P>
+
'''Q:''' Where can we find the person who hired you?<BR>
+
'''A:''' Terrestriaaaaal Raaaail-Asssissted Interioooor Navigaaaation tooo [[Madrill|Madriiilll]]
+
 
+
It is suggested to the priests that they would dispose of the body for [[The Hunted]]. The priests are not entertained by the notion, so it's back into the chest and into his home, getting the cart back in time for the [[Captain Nightsoil|man]] he borrowed it from, who advises that he "got to touch the left one" for 2 silver. [[Magni]] gives him another 5 silver to see what he can get.
+
 
+
==Leaving Barrowsea==
+
[[Kul'theras]] buys some [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/h-l/iron-rope Iron Rope] and the group stops off to retrieve [[Bali]], [[Tharin]]s wagon and [[Björn]]. Then the party heads out of town.

+
 
+
==Gnolls Are Bastards==
+
A few hours out, they come across a pair of [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/humanoids/gnoll Gnolls] butchering a bear they have killed. They attempt to pass without incident but the pair turn out to be part of a much larger group of warriors and a couple of shamans, who attack [[The Hunted]] without provocation. After a pitched battle [[The Hunted]] are victorious, and rather relieved to find that one of the shamans had a [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/c/cure-light-wounds Wand of Cure Light Wounds] with 37 charges left.

[edit] Taid

After netting themselves a wand of cure light wounds, The Hunted decide it is best for them to push onwards and restock their supplies at the next town - Taid. Here, they are informed by the brothers Awler and Banit Hatt that the marketplace has become the home of an enraged woolly rhinoceros. Rather than be disuaded, the party take the opportunity to assist the town for payment and "preferential trading privileges" in the event they come across the two trader brothers again - provided the rhino can be subdued rather than killed. This is eventually achieved. The town alchemist, also trapped in the market square, was very grateful for the assistance.

Later, the party either took the opportunity to craft various equipment, including a new cure wand, or kicked back for some R&R at the local skimpy-bar-equivalent The Boo Boo Lounge.

[edit] Osont

The next morning, Osont was less than a day's travel away. Quickly finding the terminal, marking the opposite end of the line to Madrill, the place The Hunted were directed by the body of Burim Lorpen. There they encounter Bingo Barr and T.O.M.A.S., and mill for a bit with the rest of the crowd headed to Madrill. After being assured that they have some time to kill, Magni heads into town to inquire about the availability of weapons - only to have the questions reversed when the storekeeper becomes curious regarding the nature of Landra's rifle. Magni agrees to fetch her and heads back. Meanwhile, The Hunted agree that the construct T.O.M.A.S. may well have important infomation, and encourage the Hand of Kali to have a chat with it, since it was instantly warm towards her.

The Hand of Kali is treated to a surprisingly private conversation with T.O.M.A.S. within the protection of its own armor. There, T.O.M.A.S. recalls meeting a man in Madrill who was very tall and spoke of the same shadowy assailants currently hunting The Hunted. They also discuss what it means to be alive, and the question of whether or not THEY, as constructs, are alive. Awkward construct possible-flirting is rife in the entire conversation. The conversation ends on a dark note; T.O.M.A.S warns The Hand of oncoming danger: "Danger - Scarce!"

[edit] The Second Attack

The Hand of Kali and Magni both return, but neither is able to relay their respective messages - T.O.M.A.S. announced that everyone must board, and that he is momentarily leaving - ahead of schedule. At the same time, unnatural darkness descends and another shadow assailant appears, this one different to the first. It heads straight for The Hunted, with no regard whatsoever for the panicking patrons. This time, The Hunted are able at great risk to bring down and eventually (apparently) destroy the creature, with a hand from T.O.M.A.S. They simultaneously manage to board the construct for its trip to Madrill.
