Malice of the Medusa (pt-1) [Manzanita judging]

[ScorpiusRisk]

Firebuilder starts to sheathe his Morningstar and then thinks better of it, leaving it in his hands. As he waits for his allies questions to be answered he curiously nudges the pile of bones with his weapon, muttering under his breath.

"You are right Priest of Hyrag," Amik says "and the Lady Medusa has been using this power to kill all with the knowledge of the staff's whereabouts. Although poor Shalen couldn't tell us anything and maps of the desert are more than useless." The large man motions for the two black clad men to right his chair and afterwhich he takes his seat again before the group.

"As for more of those," he says gesturing to the black spot on the floor. "Aedan is the last living member of the group that discovered the staff, now." he says shaking his head. "So find him good sirs, and help us to stop her."

[sblock=ooc] Up to everyone if they have anymore questions if not I think you are ready for the next step [/sblock]

Reis is clearly reluctant to act as spokesman for the party, but as the silence following Amik's statement stretches on he steps forward all the same. "Well, I'm ready. Is there anything else we should know?"

He breaks off and looks back at the rest of the party for input.

"How is it that a map is more than useless? Is it cursed? Is it somehow misleading?" Viktor asked, looking at the man with obvious interest.

 

[HolyMan]

To Reis the fatman smiles "You only need know that the hospice is about a day north of the city it is part of a temple decaded to Phyrah, there is an inn nearby. Now you are ready to find Aedan, I believe." he says then answering Viktors question he takes on a lecturing tone.

"Maps made of the desert are unreliable at best. The terrian is... fluid, the sands forming and unforming dunes, vales and the like. You need to either search out with someone who has been to were you want to go or have their knowledge of landmarks, star postions, and travel times." he answers in a condesending voice (like everyone should know this).

"Only the priest needs take his pre-payment and you may go." he says pointing to Midias.

 

[ScorpiusRisk]

"Well take it or leave it." Firebuilder speaks up, motioning toward Midias. "After seeing that I have no desire to wait any longer. Let us end this as quick as we can."

Firebuilder began moving toward the exit, not waiting to see who followed. It does not matter wether they come or not. He was determined to see this through.

Midias

Midias nods shortly, grabs his pouch and follows the cleric. There were undead involved, he had seen it. This was enough.

Viktor frowned at the condescending tone. "Just because dunes move, does not mean there are not other landmarks... forgive someone who has never dealt with a vast expanse of sand to be unaware nothing else was there..."

He replied simply, before readying himself to depart and attempt to save Aedan.

[sblock=OOC]
Hey, Holyman, that name seems very, very familiar. [/sblock]

 

[Errandir]

Reis hesitates in the chamber after the hasty departure of his companions, seemingly considering another question or response to Amik. After a few moments, though, he glances towards the door, and, with a somewhat exasperated gesture, hurries after the others. As he reaches the door, he raises his hand in a gesture of farewell to the fat man on the dias.
