Greyhelm: Dave's Story
Just to wrap everything up and put the story back in y'all's hands.
Regardless of words and actions by Brogg and Cinder (barring of course stupid shit like challenging Crossbones to a duel RIGHT NOW), you guys all meet up at The Lodge of Yggdrasil, the temple to Odin in town. It's just outside the east gate of town up on a hill. It looks like a large wooden hunting lodge- kinda like Drexel's, but a lot bigger. The inside is basically one huge room- the Great Hall of the Greyhelm Lodge. In attendance is High Priest Father Bjorn Bjornenson of the Bjornen Fjords. He's sitting at the end of a very long table lined with benches in a huge wooden chair. Behind him is a statue of Odin that goes up to the ceiling. Actually, looking at it, it's so big that it seems they had to cut away part of the ceiling for the statue to fit- it pokes out into the sky. Between Odin's legs on the ground is a large fireplace roasting a pig or something. Father Bjornenson is enjoying food and drink with a large haunch of meat and big pewter mug. A couple buxom Swedish girls keep the plate and mug full. A few other of Odin's "priests" have fallen asleep at the table. Clearly the mead has flowed freely in this House of Bounty.
Father Bjornen stands up and yells when you push open the enormous wooden doors to the hall and enter. "FRIENDS! YES! JOIN US!" He's a jolly drunk man and laughs loudly.
You guys head on over and sit at the end of the table near him. Dave, I assume you'll explain who you are, that you're on an important quest- just look at that mace- and that you've been level drained in the process and won't he please help a fellow Fist of God?
Sure thing he says, taking a long swill of mead, a big bite of meat, and a hefty grope of lass. He casts Restoration on you Dave getting back your level. Cinder, he'll even throw in a Neutralize Poison for you. Then he stands up and tells you what Odin expects in return, because as you know, Odin doesn't do charity. Odin don't play that.
"My battle-scarred friends, brothers in Valhalla, CHILDREN OF GOD! A dire threat has fallen across the land! The dwarf Gurty Buttons, servant of the DEMON SPAWN LOKI, has stolen the fifth and sixth Acorns of Yggdrasil! The fifth Acorn was reclaimed by Hjelmer Jurgenson from the vaults of the dark elves below in their terrible city of Derzoberanzoran. His bravery was rewarded with a swift ride from the Valkyrim up to GLORIUS VALHALLA! Because he unfortunately met the pointy end of a GIANT'S HALBERD UPON RETURNING FROM THE LIVING TREE OF THE WORLD YGGDRASIL! Fortunately, brave Hjelmer carved the whereabouts of the sixth Acorn in his aleskin before being destroyed. It fell into the jaws of the fearsome WOLF OF FENRIS! SO FRIENDS!! JOURNEY TO LAKE HAATA AND WRESTLE THE ACORN OF YGGDRASIL FROM THE JAWS OF FENRIS DOOM! THEN YOU SHALL BE GREAT IN THE ALL-SEEING EYE OF ODIN! YES!"
"Heh heh, just kidding" he says, sitting back down. Dave, he claps you on the back in a manly way and says "just, ah... why don't you put 450 gp in Odin's bowl? Odin doesn't just help those who help themselves, he helps those who are rich!" If you can't afford it, you can work it off in the Father's brewery, 25 gp/day/person working. That's about a week if you all pitch in, zombies included. In case you can't figure it, Winnifred the Maid of Mead explains that it's 400 gp for the restoration, 50 gp for the neutralize poison.
So there you go. All healed up, all NPC blather taken care of. Say and do what you will. Don't forget that unless you're working in the brewery, it'll be 1 gp/day/person here in town (although Brogg can stay in the woods, Dave can stay in the lodge, and Cinder can stay at Haggi's for free if you want to split up like that). You guys still don't have any great leads as to what Vrill's up to... however, Brogg, Crossbones said he knows where Mt. Storm is, and Cinder, you've got a possible gig at the Potion Guild itself.
Yes?
