How about it people? Can anyone keep him sedate long enough for us to find a way to help him? Haereka could you control him with your powers? How about you Alariass? War could maybe, given few days, create some chains that would bind him for longer.

Alariass, do you have something available? Would feeblemind help? Some other such magic that would render him tractable for some period of time?

hellrazor111 · 4th July 2009, 04:55 AM

War stops his minor repairs to think, "I suppose I could, but I would need some pounds of adamentine, and there arent any sellers around here, have to go to Wyndia for it."

"I do not have that spell, and it wouldn't stop him from doing anything, just remove rational thinking." replies Alariass.

Voidrazor · 5th July 2009, 09:41 AM

Secretly delighting in the irony, Haereka broacasts to all with a psychic resonance of sorrow and utmost sympathy, "I'm sorry Marius. I can try to control him, but since I was unable to sway the ogre its very unlikely that I'll be able to affect his master. It should be Seifer's decision. The master lycanthrope was his friend. He knows the most about the situation. Only he can truly weigh the chances of turning his the monster from its dark path against the potential for further loss of life."

hellrazor111 · 5th July 2009, 12:49 PM

Seifer is still on the ground, looking away from the group his voice is low when he speaks again, a slight tremble to his voice, "I-I thank you for wanting t-to help him Marius, but Haereka is right, I-I though of ways that I c-could help him, but there are no other options, I f-fought with myself about t-this but for his own good, and the peoples, h-he must be..be..killed..." Seifer goes quiet for a moment, then continues, his voice louder but with more tremble to it. "H-he lived danger-rously, he would a-always travel to the top of t-the mountains, and spar wit-th the ogres, and even compe-eted in the tournment of cha-ampions, but he never c-changed, he was always my nak-kama and family. H-he defended the vilage from o-orcs and helped kill the chimera that was p-plaguing the vil-lage...he was good, a troub-blemaker, but g-good, and if theres a-any part of his f-former self a-alive, he will hate w-what he-hes become." Now he looks at the group, and tears are streaming down his face, "PLEASE, JUST HELP ME GIVE MY BROTHER PEACE!" Seifer tucks his head into his knees and lets out a sob.

Neurotic · 5th July 2009, 02:33 PM

Marius looks impassively at the outburst.

"Come on, little one, we go back to the village, prepare for final assault and we solve this once and for all. You are true warrior, regardless of your stature."
Marius' voice changes little bit, becoming almost chant, like priest giving blessings.
"May spirit of Ancient Ones reside in you always."

"I went all the way to the tree. There are four tigers with your kin and all are sleeping. We need to go before they start next hunt. Assuming we want to return?"

Last one was framed like a question and he looked all casters in turn and finaly he looked at War.

OOC:Assuming we go to the village:
IC:
"Grabhar, Haereka, could you cover party from the back, I'll go scout forward?"

hellrazor111 · 8th July 2009, 04:38 AM

Seifer wipes his face and stands up, taking a deep breath. "Yes, lets go back to the village and rest up we'll return a little later."

The trip takes an hour, making it shortly after noon when you arrive.

War heads off to the blacksmith saying, "I got to get repared, sorry I can't contunue with you all."

"Well, I've had enough, thank you young man for the fun time." Says Alariass, leaving throught the south entrance.

Heading bact to the inn, it is generally empty, except for a few people and the innkeeper. You all sit around the middle and Seifer says, "With War and Alariass gone, we will need some more companions if we are to take down the weretiger."

You are forced to divert to McNeil Village, after finding the road is closed from a weretiger problem, you take the road thrugh acres of farmland. Entering from the south, everything needed is right there. On the left is an tavern and on the right is a store and blacksmith. There are few people in
McNeil Village, most of which you passed on the way here, working on the farm. Entering the tavern, there are a few scatered people and a group of 4 around one. You overhear one, a small boy talking "We will need some more companions if we are to take down the weretiger."

OOC: Hellrazor, do you watch the anime One Piece, by any chance?

IC:
Ardularra silently cursed her luck, wandering about in the light of day, being diverted all across the country side. It was all she could do not to just strike someone down in a display of her distaste and enforce greater helpfulness from the surface dwellers. However, without the support of the Underdark, Ardularra knew she was outmatched, and that Lolth would not protect her if she could not protect herself. And so, she held her tongue and waited in the in, sitting in a dark corner as she let a finger trace miniature scaled runes on the dust of her table.

Ardularra overheard the mention of the group needing companions, but had little interest in defeating a weretiger. Though, perhaps she could be convinced by other things to offer her aid. She said nothing, merely let her eyes wander in the direction of the pair during her idle drawing.

hellrazor111 · 8th July 2009, 08:26 AM

Actually I do, but the setting is kinda japanese so occasionally I'll throw a little culture and language in.

drakir_nosslin · 8th July 2009, 10:53 AM

Ash sipped on his dark beer as he watched the newcomers walk into the tavern. The group looked like seasoned adventurers, but they seemed to have had a couple of hard fights in the last days.
"I wonder what they have been up to..." His psicrystal chimed in, it's voice a bit tense as it always was when a potential threat appeared.
Relax, they doesn't seem hostile, and we are in a public place. They would be stupid to start anything here.
He took another sip and leaned back in his chair. It was nice to be able to relax for a while, his wandering drive was subsiding and he felt that it was time to find something to do. Besides his money started to run out...

Demonwolf91 · 8th July 2009, 08:40 PM

Sethelex watches the newcomers walk in and says
" Well well well, we haven't had new visitors in quite a while.
I suppose the erm ... problem outside the city was taken care of?"

Grabhar, HP57/59, AC 34/F27/T21 Saves: F5 R9 W6

The hunchbacked spearman rolls his large shoulders and flashes a wicked smile to the darkened corner after taking quick look around the small Inn's common room. "Yah its been ages, or rather less than half a day since we left." He taps the largest of the rolled tigerstriped hides with his boot. "That one there tore a whole clean through our metal-man, and our summoner and healer felt quite outmatched as well sir. We found where the lead beast was resting, but were in no shape to take him on." He orders a drink and some food while he waits for things to break.

Drones · 9th July 2009, 08:18 PM

"Soon, i will have him." This thought was all that really mattered to Atarneil. As he sat at his table, he began to consider what he would do when he finally found his father.

As he pondered, he noticed the group of adventurers that had entered. He realized that it would benefit him greatly if he could increase his own skill and at the same time gain strong allies. So, with revenge still in his mind, he watched the group to see when a opportunity would present itself.

Neurotic · 9th July 2009, 10:37 PM

Marius followed Alariass on his way out.
"Alariass, wait for a moment if you please? I'd like to ask you a favor. You said that you have some belladona with you. Could you leave it with us in case one of us gets bitten? Or would you at least wait in the village until we return?"

hellrazor111 · 10th July 2009, 10:32 AM

"I will wait for you to return, Marius." replies Alariass.

The maroon-haired child stands up, attempting to get as many patrons in his view before he announces, "My name is Seifer, we are looking for new companions to help end this roadblock. We know where the beast is and he's the only left alive, these hides are proof. There will be a reward for hides and heads, and I can also personally reward you with items I've acquired, and you may gain a little renown. I, for one do not wish to remain here any longer." Looking at each person as what he says pertains to them, directly into their eyes.

drakir_nosslin · 10th July 2009, 09:33 PM

Smiling to himself Ash rose from the chair and wiped away any beer left on his lips.
Looks like we got ourselves a job, about time, don't you think? He sent telepathically to his crystal.
Yea, sure. Horray for risking our lives again, in another mindless battle against some freak monster.
You're so negative sometimes, this is a good chance to earn some money, and even though I don't need to eat, I do find it nice with a roof over my head and a nice beer every now and then.
Fine, I just think that we should be focusing more on your studies and less on this slaying business.
Shaking his head at the last comment Ash approaches the group. The elan smiles and holds out his hand.
I am Ash, a traveller with little to do and no special schedule to follow. It would be interesting to see one of these beasts in battle and if you're looking for some help I'll be glad to lend my hand and mind.

Theroc · 12th July 2009, 12:12 AM

Ardularra rose slowly and approached the boy, her draconic eyes locking onto his as she began to speak.

"You will pay me to help end this roadblock? I will go, though I much prefer dusk or night to broad daylight..." Ardularra replied, extending an ebon hand to shake the boy's in agreement. "Though, should anyone attempt to cheat me..." She let the unspoken threat linger as she summoned up a small display of Eldritch power, before letting it die away harmlessly, turning to the innkeeper.

"Have you a room for me to prepare myself in?" Ardularra asked, wishing to practice one of the magicks she was less experienced with inside a private setting.

Drones · 12th July 2009, 03:45 AM

Standing and walking up to the group, Atarneil's last thought before he reached the group was of how his father face would look when he finally found him. Reaching the group, he spoke "My name is Atarneil and I would also like to lend my power to this situation. My only question is how soon we can start."
He let his gaze sweep over the small group around him. "I would like to get on the road as soon as possible."

Vertexx69 · 12th July 2009, 08:39 AM

Grabhar, HP59/59, AC 34/F27/T21 Saves: F5 R9 W6

The woodsman looks over each of eager recruits, pausing far too long on comely drow girl, before stretching again like some other kind of large jungle cat. He pulls out the bench for her to join them, his fangs flashing from his renewed smile. "Unfortunately my dear, it looks like several of these gentlemen wouldn't be at their best trundling through the forest at night. But it looks like those goggles around your neck protect your eyes just fine in the light. We've been killing these things all day, and our magics are somewhat depleted from it. We'll most likely start out at first light on the morrow, after everyone has had a chance to recoup just a bit."

hellrazor111 · 12th July 2009, 10:11 AM

"Unfortunately, Lady, Grabhar is correct, most of our companions would be disadvantaged at night, and if you need somewhere to prepare, I have a little house along the road." Seifer pulls a strap on his shoulder before continuing, "As for rewards, the government is paying for hides returned as well as the head of the were-tiger, and I have quite a few items I can let you pick from." He pulls on a strap on his other shoulder, and a breastplate falls from under his shirt "Also, between my honor and Grabhar, you don't have to worry about betrayal. I hate this armor." He says picking it up and putting it on the bar counter.

"As for how soon, Atarneil, I would prefer today, but it may have to wait till tomorrow like Grabhar said so some of us can recharge."

"I'm glad your willing to help Ash," Seifer says, extending his hand "We could have use for your talents, and these people are fairly friendly,"

Neurotic · 12th July 2009, 02:28 PM

Marius returns and seeing new recruits around Seifer and Grabhar smiles and broadcasts telephaticaly.
"Haereka, remain hidden for the moment. Ask Grabhar if he's willing to engage in little 'hunt' against these new ones. Just to play and get to know them a little, yes? I'll leave to him to decide whether we are the hunters or the hunted. And you are our secret weapon."

He approaches the group and bows.
"I am Marius. Welcome to the hunters."

Turning to Seifer:
"Alariass will wait for us here in case anyone needs quick bite of belladona or healing. I'm guesing War will be here too."

He observes the group of recruits and waits for Grabhar signal to see if he's up for the challenge.

OOC: I believe we two are the ones that only need to wait for our items to recharge and other 'powers' are at full...so we can play a little

Since it wastes everyones time ifwe realy go through, I'd ask everyone to simply describe what they'd do in such setting and let hellrazor make a story of it :E
