Oathbound : Homecoming (the gathering) everybody in!

[hafrogman]

Tristan stands silently off to one side of the group. He tries to keep a calm expression on his face while watching the imp, but every so often he glances uneasily over his shoulder at the undead surrounding them.

 

[Kahuna Burger]

Some of the nearer undead start to lurch towards the group as they are revealed, but after its been confirmed that you're all together, the imp yells "Hey now, back to work, don't do that!" and they return to their labors. Its obvious that protecting the site from the living is some part of their job, because the imp waves several others back as he speaks. "I'm not supposed to leave this area, gotta keep a lookout, you know, make sure no one interferes. We're on a timetable here, and the Master can't bring in any big guns until the tower's set. You could help with the foundation, or help me keep an eye, or maybe the Master wants some backup at the seed."

ooc:
Does the imp sense the demon residing in Marissa? In any case with the taint in her aura, she's hoping the imp will think her just another dumb soldier. she's played that route before (pretending she's under a poor 'undetectable aura spell', managing to infiltrate nastier cults and undoing them from the inside.).

IC
"Seed? Wat seed? Is it good to eat?"

 

[deadestdai]

Baja looked at the elf girl rather confused, very much so infact. She seemed a lot smarter when he first talked with her.

The half orc felt his stomach gurgle at the mention of food.

 

[kirinke]

OOC:
(not an elf, um aasimar)

Marissa turns her head so the demon can't see her mouth "Only playing gaol-bait," she forms the words with her mouth, without making any sound, hoping that at least a few of her comrades will see that little message.

 

[hafrogman]

OOC:
(you expect Baja to know what an aasimar is? )

Tristan returns Marissa's strange non-utterance with a blank faced stare. He hoped her goal was to confuse the imp, because he was certainly lost. She didn't seem to be going about it in a very subtle manner though. He decided to comment before the imp started getting suspicious.

"Maybe we should consult with the Master. Where would we find the Master?"

 

[GPEKO]

Orillian looks at Baja and Marissa with grave eyes but he discretely winks at the aasimar. “It’s obviously not food, and it concerns you little !” He turns back toward the imp. “Pardon her, she has her uses but deduction is not one of them. But, I wonder myself, what exactly will the seed do ? And when will it sprout ?”

 

[kirinke]

Marissa grins broadly and disturbingly, mimicking an addle-brained ranger she had once met when she was younger.

ooc:
would the others be able to differeniate a normal human and an aasimar? they're probably rather rare.

 

[Voadam]

Kyron masters the urge to immediately blast the undead and kill the imp, as the more effective strike will be directly at the "master" and the "seed". Orillian seems to have charmed the minor devil so he will wait for the little fellow to lead or direct them to the heart of the tower before drawing his sword and unleashing eldritch power on the dark forces gathering here. He dims his light so as to not be so much of a beacon until the battle is joined.

 

[ferretguy]

Knowing that to strike at the servant and all the undead around would gain him nothing, Julian restrains himself as he was taught as the mage tries to get the devil-kin to reveal his master.
