Role Play- A Plague in Psaral.

[Meliva]

The cult leader nods

Fair enough. For starters, a fun little fact you might want to know. That man there.

He points to Greg.

I recall he was present when the plan for the plague was being made. I admit I don't know what role he had in it, or how big it was, but he is at least partly to blame for this whole mess-and I assume he came to clean it up and make sure no documents got out that could link him to the crime. Normally I don't rat out people-but considering your here killing my men, well your a no good traitor, so I think its only fair I pay you back

Carl glares at Gregory, and shouts that he knew it. The leader holds up his hand and hushes him.

As for who made the plague, well I didn't meet her personally, I think only Nelly knows who she is. And that friend of yours, Meadow I think was her name, she's currently down there in the lab. I don't know what Nelly has done with her if anything, I leave her alone with her experiments and no one bothers her. Meadow could be dead, could be untouched, could be a 6 armed gorilla that farts pixie dust for all I know.

a cold draft from the window nearby chills the cult leader and the rest of the group., Carl covers himself up a bit and the cult leader is shivering from the cold, and he quickly covers himself completely with his cloak.

So blasted cold lately.

The leader stops talking, and moving, a moment later the cloak falls to the ground, and the rune fades away. Carl rushes forward and picks up the cloak, finding nothing underneath. He stomps it and begins swearing about how he hates magic like this, before turning to Greg.

That SOB got away, but you got some explaining to do.

[Jack Teach]

Jack turns to Gregory, he steps back, the musket barrel goes down. Jack looks astonished.

So, were you part of the cult?

[Meliva]

Oggie thinks as he keeps his hand on his weapon.

No, the leader just said he had no idea what greg's role was or what part he played in all of this. And if the cult leader didn't know something like that, either that mean's Greg can't be part of this cult, or he runs the cult in secret with that man who just left as the figure head. Or, that cult leader could have lied just to distract us and cause a rift in our group. I mean he lied about surrendering after he finished talking. Regardless we should keep an eye on Greg here, and search around for any remaining evidence.

[Jack Teach]

Jack curses

I should have just shot him in the foot right there! Damn!

[DezNutz]

Gregory chuckles and moves back slightly while giving a very slow clap.

That was a great story. Seriously, if he wasn't a cult leader, he could easily make money as a storyteller. He sold that story and you guys bought it, hook, line, and sinker. Bought himself enough time to escape, too.

Gregory's demeanor shifts slightly to a more serious tone and looks at Jack.

No, I wasn't part of the cult. If you're going to point a weapon at me, you better be pulling the trigger. Put that away.

Gregory glares at Carl.

Any other questions? Or should we stand here and talk, while who knows what is going on with Meadow?

[Meliva]

Carl looks at Greg.

I'm sure Emily's probably saved her by now, but we should go and help as soon as possible. Though I find it funny that you blame us that he got away. Unless I'm mistaken, you didn't do squat to stop him either now did you? Its not like I could have done anything-I fight with my fists, and have no ranged weapons- and with that rune active rushing him would have gotten me killed. But while we are on the subject of whether your with them or not, how about we do a sign of good faith. Let me have your bag, the one you put away earlier-and let me do a good check to make sure you don't give me a spare, until this mess is over. Then we can go over its contents once everything is done. If everything is fine in it, then its all hunky dory. If i find evidence your in league with them, ill kill you. But since your not in league with them you'd have no problem handing it over-just to make sure nothing happens to it during the fighting ahead.


Carl reaches out his hand while glaring at Greg, though Oggie looks a bit nervous. He says to carl.

Uh mate, what if he refuses to hand the bag.

Carl replies quite seriously.

Then I'm going to kill him, examine his possessions and find out that way. Or die trying. My gut is telling me he ain't a good man, and that he is up to no good.

[Jack Teach]

Mate, the gun is pointed down at the ground.

[DezNutz]

Gregory pulls out his bag and looks at Carl.

You mean this bag?

Gregory turns his bag upside down and dumps the contents. A first aid kit, an extra set of throwing knives, and spare ammo fall out on the floor. Gregory holds the empty bag out for Carl to take and examine.

Were you expecting something else?

[Meliva]

Carl looks.

You had plenty of alone time. Could have easily stashed something elsewhere.

Oggie is looking through the documents the cult leader left behind. He notices that a man named greg is mentioned in a few places, but keeps it to himself. He goes to Carl and just pats his back.

Come on mate, we can sort this crap out later, Meadow might need help.

Carl nods and the 2 begin heading to the lab. After a bit of walking they enter the basement. It looks like a lot of fighting took place, things are smashed, and a path leads deeper into the lab.

[Jack Teach]

Jack, still holding the gun, walks into the lab.
