				This is for activities in Maze since your going to lose access after you leave the Maze before the dungeon its kind of temporary. Basically its a big town, walled with one temple for each faction, The Academy, merchants that sell pretty much everything if you have enough gold the WAGERING HOUSE that bet on how far a particular adventurer or group will get- etc.<br><br>Near the Docks is Brothel Row with brothels and adult theaters. (added for this game)&nbsp; ;)

				Just then an illusion goes up on a great white wall in several spots and several young men come out of the Maze wounded badly dragging two bodies with many stab wounds. Most seem more like farmers than adventurers and seem to have had a rough time of it. The survivors didn't seem to have much left in them.<br><br>Then a group of goblins are seen in some part of the Maze and gold and a magic dagger appears and a female in purple and red robes appears with a big amulet.<br><br>"Bounty for two deaths of contestants to the Goblin Captain Kirthaac and 2 Merits at one more they will be released from the Maze and returend to their homes with all garnered treasure and gold as per their Quest spell.," at that the Goblins chant and rend apart a female adventuress after she was clearly used for their pleasure and another dose of gold appears.<br><br>Bets are paid out at various stalls to those wagering on the Goblins.

				Kael notices the spectacle and he frowns when he sees it, he despises such warriors who uses such brutally women but he sees the Captain as worthy challenge to undertake. He heads towards the Maze entrance and plans try face the goblin captain alone......<br><br>OOC: How many goblins it did show? Besides the captain of course.

				He does the math according to Gathering Information it seems only a few but most might be wagering for the Goblins but the Spot Check you get a good idea maybe a dozen goblins or so and its a guess.

				Mellina stands by the illusionary moving scenes on the wall as she watches on, her fists clenched in anger as she watches on in horror, unable to pull her eyes away all right up until the adventuress is dragged off to be rended into bits by the goblin. "By the Gods, that's terrible!" She exclaims heatedly after, looking around at the other people gathered close as she begins to approach some of them, the non-bettors, to inquire about the scene. "Does anyone have information on them? Where are they now? I'll kill them all!" She would even eventually get around to Kael and start grilling him on any information he had.<br><br>(Er.. what's a Merit? :P And was the robed female the one who got rend apart? Or was she sort of like the host of the illusion?)<br>(Gather Info roll too: 1d20+4 -&gt; 11 - http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=448692)

				Kael was suddenly asked questions about goblins while he just moment ago asked about them! He replies to clearly angered priestess; "I doubt you can beat them alone ma'am. So far as I could quess from view there are dozens of them there, I am planning go after the goblins so I can escort you to them and let me defeat all of them for you."

				Ok the woman seemed to be a good cleric they kept for fun and food in that order. The robes woman is a JUDGE and acts like a scorekeeper and gives ut rewards for pleasing the demigoddess and ruler of the dungeon. The reward goes to monsters that kill contestants the more the better off they are most are Geas and Quested to kill any intruder or they die but are well rewarded otherwise.<br><br>What you can tell the goblins number arournd 5-50 including their Captain a real evil and cunning bastard and have a section set-up for ambushes and fighting from cover favoring hand crossbows and slings, they are good skirmishers as well. No one knows the exact number but one seems to be a Shaman.

				Mellina nods to Kael, though she frowns a little to him as they pool together their information and stare at the blank wall again, waiting for the illusion to replay or otherwise. meditating into blank space.<br><br>"Yes, yes.. we must.. hm. I wonder how many goblins there really are. I wager at least thirty. I'll take five. Can you take on twenty-five by yourself?" She eyes the man, her words mostly non-serious in the divvying up of the goblins, "If not we might have to find others to go along!"<br><br>A brief pause. "I must avenge that woman!"

				Kael replies; "I am not afraid to take all thirty ma'am, but I may not survive even twenty at once. I advice we two seek further worthy crusaders to your cause, but you can count my shield and blade at your service now. I am Sir Kael Deparris, nice to meet you priestess."

				The asian looking girl in spectacles slipped up behind them and spoke nervously, hands clenched behind her back.&nbsp; This thrust forwards her generous bust, which was clad in a white leather bikinini trimmed with silver.&nbsp; She wore a silver trinkets such as coiling arm and&nbsp; hip bands, and a miniskirt to match her halter.&nbsp; Her boots were men's style, hard soled with high heels and golden buckles.&nbsp; A dagger was stuck in the back of one.&nbsp; She wore a backpack, cloak, and many puched belt.&nbsp; Her spectacles were gnomish craft, curved crystal rather than glass, almost transperent with thin silver frames.&nbsp; She bowed slightly before begining, "Excuse me, but I was wondering if I could offer some small service in the fight to avenge that woman against the goblins.&nbsp; I'm not very good in a fight, but I can defend myself with my power, and, if I manage to pass myself off as your servant, good swordsman, I can wreak some havoc on the enemy without drawing much attention to myself.&nbsp; I also have a little skill with locks and traps."&nbsp;

				Smiling to the knight, Mellina was unable to bring herself to tell him that, for now, she was just a cleric, and even that was a newly ascended position for her. Close enough, she thought.. a sort of novice priestess, and she was astute enough to know most of the associated rituals and behaviourial quirks of the clergy anyway.<br><br>"I can't quite resurrect the fallen yet," she does warn Kael though, "So don't bite off more than you can chew! But my name is Mellina, Mellina Syn'avari." The light-purple-haired half-elf curtseys to Kael. She looks elven, though not quite - but she doesn't bother clarifying her race, "And yes, perhaps you are right.. do you know of any? I'm new here," She looks around the square, "I haven't even found the Grey temples yet, but that's fine. Where's this part of the maze they're in?"<br><br>She spins as a voice spoke up from behind the two of them, and blinked once or twice at the form before her.<br><br>"Hello there."

				Kayle bows politely to Mellina and replies; "Well, if we face them I would have little choice than bring many down as possible so that you do not face same dreaded fate what that poor woman faced. I am new also, just came whit boat and I think I saw you there." Kayle's facial features, especially eyes, recalled in Mellina about elf but none of them growed short beard what Kael haves!<br><br>When Mayumi popped in Kayle nodded to her and said; "I asume you had eavesdropped enough know our both names so introduction is not needed. Your skills would be valuable to get to the goblins who rumors say have alot traps to hinder adventurers fo the Maze. Can you descripe better your fighting style so that I do not hinder it altough I would prefer you staying back while I take goblins and their captain headlong. You can strike those who cannot reach me or are coming towards me or our priestess."

				"A pleasure." is offered to the skimpily-dressed girl, before a short chuckle offered on the heels of that toward Kael's words.<br><br>"And in case you didn't, my name is Mellina, and he's Kael.. Kayle.. something along those lines. Kael I think." Her eyes roamed down her form as the demi-elf spoke, before&nbsp; she looked up again and added, "And I don't see why not as long as you can use that dagger of yours once we root out those scum too. Traps?" She looks away from Mayumi, to Kael, "There can't be TOO many of those!"

				The tall, thin elf meandered along slowly, missing the spectacle entirely but coming up upon the others from the ship just after their apparent introductions.&nbsp; Her large violet eyes scanned the group, she had been watching everyone on the ship and had thought that perhaps the four of them would make a good group.&nbsp; It seems they agreed so far.&nbsp; Now all it would take would be for her to swallow her elven pride and introduce herself.&nbsp; "Excuse me," she said in her soft, lyrical voice, "I am Keryn, and I was wondering if I may join you."&nbsp; She stood there, a little nervously, her hand on her sword--not in a threatening manner but more like carressing a close friend or pet.&nbsp; Her chain armor is actually fairly modest, but it is easily seen that she is curvier than most elven maidens even while she remains rather thin.

				Kael noted the elf maiden, he measured her gear and her bow and asked; "Are you perhaps a archer? I would not mind a ranged combat support, especially if that support aims arrows to shaman. Intrested come whit us show some justice onto sadist goblin captain who thinks he can do wahtever please whit adventurers who get lost into his way?"<br><br>Kael turns his attention Mayumi after she repleis to his question and he then replies; "Then stick out from melee and leave me do all dirty work close on goblins and focus harass their archers or shaman. Actually I would not want place you into battle at all but we need all support what we can get as group when we face them." Kael did not say anyway dismissing or insulting manner to Mayumi her to stay out of melee or when he stated she does not belong to battle in first place. He sayed like stating it as fact and whit honest concern.<br><br>OOC: Yeah, lone male knight protecting women who most are casters. If that would not be major source for ego and morale for knight, then what is :P. Anycase Purple, you should mention one important feature in your charsheet; Favoured Enemies.

				OOC: I think we'll be protecting you a lot more. :P<br><br>Mellina actually steps back a little as Keryn came up and introduced herself, her eyes scanning the much taller elfling evenly from head to toe, though more in a wary fashion than outright hostility. Nodding slowly in welcome, though not saying a word yet, the half-elf then glances over contemplatively toward Mayumi as her words finally register in the cleric's mind, hmming softly to herself before glancing back to the throng of people around the place.<br><br>"Yeah.. you do all the dirty work, we'll just stay afar and wipe up the mess after." She grins toward Kael finally, the shortest form speaking up in her mellowy, but low voice.
