Both Dargo and Ainel move towards the stranger catching him as he slumps forward. They help him into the camp.
Sgt. Bremen watches disaprovingly, but says nothing other than,
"Wake the Dwarf h'you good for nothing h'waste of space!" To the slumbering sentry he had previously been admonishing.
The sentry does indeed move up and begin shaking Dowkan into wakefulness.
Map
[Sblock=Map] Figures with no numbers are the commoner recruits - as are the watchmen. I have placed Gillian, since I did not see a request from Jemal - just let me know if you want her repositioned Jemal. The Bard is Tamworth, referenced in my third post on this thread.
Please feel free to critique the map as I am still trying to get figure out the best way to use it.[/Sblock]
OOC: If anyone raises the alarm you may all roll initiative.
[Sblock=Spot DC 20] As Dargo and Ainel touch the stranger you see something writhe out from under the old man's cloak and swiftly make its way under the cover of your companions clothing.
[Sblock=Knowledge Nature 20] You can think of one creature which might fit this situation a Pupeteer. A Psionic Leech that controls its host's mind.[/Sblock]
[Sblock=Spot DC 25] It looks like some kind of black glistening leech! [Sblock=Knowledge Nature 11] You can think of one creature which might fit this situation a Pupeteer. A Psionic Leech that controls its host's mind.[/Sblock][/Sblock][/Sblock]
[Sblock=Sense Motive DC 20] Dargo and Ainel seem to be acting under the influence of compulsion magic! There is a certain distinctive glaze to their eyes and their actions in aiding the old man seem unusually devoid of caution.[/Sblock]
[Sblock=Walking Dad] Yes derek is already awake, with Thalamarose next to him having awakenend him last.[/Sblock]

[Sblock= Ainel and Dargo] You hear a reasuring voice in your mind, you know instinctually that this is a true friend.
"Help me my friend! I am so cold please pick me up I need you. My friend here is sick and needs the warmth of your fires, please help him to. "
You find yourself directed to a glistening blackness in the shadows beneath the old man's clothing and feel an overwhelming fondness for this beautful little leech-like creature.
You move forward to help the old man and as you touch his arm your new friend slides onto your arm. His slimy body feels good upon your flesh and suddenly you know you have no more worries - your leech pal will take care of everything now all you need to do is OBEY.
"Disable everyone who is not a carrier, the Bard is ours, your companion helping with the old man is ours."
OOC: I will listen to objections along the lines of I would never pick up such a creature even if charmed (which you are), but you would have to have a pretty convincing explaination as to why not since you do regard the creature as a bossom friend - aw, hes such a cute mind controlling brain leech. For a convincing enough argument I might allow an opposed charisma check.
Once you come into contact with the leech you are in effect dominated, you do not get the saves a dominated character would get for doing something against his nature.
Don't worry guys you will maintain control of your characters, you will just have to follow the instructions given... Okay so maybe you can worry a little.[/Sblock]

The dwarf grunts as he is awoken from his slumber. "Already done my watch," Dowkan complains quietly. He moves to turn over and then sees the stranger in the camp. "Humph!" he adds as he rouses himself and stands up, gathering his shield and readying himself.
ooc: Dowkan cannot make that Spot check from this distance, so I didn't roll.[sblock=map]I don't know about the others, but I find the map nearly unreadable, but don't have any recommendations as to how to change that. The black text on the mottled green background doesn't work for me.[/sblock]

OOC - I specifically kicked the dwarf awake in my initail post, as he is one of the "fighter types". Does thalmarose notice any spellcasting with spellcraft +11?
Thalmarose throws his hands up in exasperation at the intruder's unchecked entrance into the camp. "Of course they would let it just walk into the camp without any sort of proclomations, it probably some kind of hideous beast that will devour us all."
Spot: (1d20+6=16) Spellcraft: (1d20+11=17)

"And, who is our new friend and what is the thing below his cloak?" Derek asks openly.

OOC: well this is going to suck........
With Ainel's help Dargo escorted the poor old man to the warmth of the fire near the center of camp. It was cold out and his new friend would be better off near the fire. They would be better off once Dargo could help them with their request. With that in mind, he grabbed a piece of firewood from the pile yet to be used. Then, very suddenly, he swung it forcefully at the unsuspecting wizard next to him. His kukri safely sheathed at his belt it appeared that Dargo didn't intend to cause any permanent harm but he certainly seemed intent at putting Thalmarose back to sleep as his makeshift club catches the wizard upside the head.

OOC: Roll initiative folks!
Incidently I am presuming that Ainel is also going to act on the surprise round.
Tamworth uses Bardic Music to buff team leech!
Vertexx, please see the Talking the talk thread for my attempt to explain how dargo was allowed to strike you.
Initiative Order:
21 Derek
19 Thalamarose
19 Pupeteers
19 Tamworth
11 Dowkan
10 Sgt. Bremen
5 Dargo
4 K'inta
4 Old man
2 Commoners
Tamworth the burly stoic fellow who had earlier identified himself as a musician lets out a cacophanous bellow which soon begins to form into a strange reverberating chant.
"Hoy a hala hoy ahala haka ha, hoy a hala hoy ahala!"
The vibrations are uncomfortable and clearly threatening, though Dargo and Ainel find themselves strangely bolstered.

OOC - the fact that I would have never let him get closer than 10 feet from me aside, lets move on... I act on Initiative 19 from my last post.
Thalmarose reels for a moment as the staff is swung into the side of his head, then he staggers back 5 feet back from the deciever and raises his hand in an in accusatory pointing finger. "May your blood boil from your ears as your dying scream are lost forever in the howling winds of this acrused land." A putrescent green ray of fire lances out from the grey elves outstretched finger, striking the old man square in the chest Ranged Touch: 18 burning a hole strait through him for Fire damage: 14 as the wizard grasps the side of his head with his other hand.
