[QUOTE="Trench, post: 6048344, member: 40464"] [i]Sorry for the absence people. I was in a mild accident that kept me away for a bit. But now, ON WITH THE SHOW![/i] ------- Abu'l, Mahjub, and Abud take the pugwampi just outside of camp, causing a stream of curses and dark looks as the creature's bad luck aura causes stubbed toes and trips the entire time. The three walk to the craggy branches of the Sultan's Claw just as the pugwampi's eyes begin to flicker. Its eyes open and wakes with a start. It begins screaming, frantically tugging at the ropes tying it and yipping hysterically. It's so loud everyone in the camp can hear it. [i]"Stop screaming, or you we will kill you,"[/i] Mahjub threatens in Gnollish. [i]"Answer our questions and there is a chance you will be set free. Do you understand?"[/i] As Mahjub growls, he stares into the pugwampi's eyes. His pants rip straight down the backside. There's a long silence for a moment as the pugwampi shakes. It starts laughing hysterically as Mahjub looks behind him to see his rear exposed for pretty much everyone to see. [i]"Ah, my friend. That was not wise....We are trying to help you not be buried by sand and anger..."[/i] Abud stares into the pugwampi's eyes and the little lapdog's eyes go glassy. [i]"Back at the camp they want you dead and buried,”[/i] Abud says in a monotone voice. [i]“We may be able to change their minds if you're useful. Help us help you."[/i] The pugwampi is still giggling as Abud begins to speak in his monotone. The imp's milky eyes widen and as Mahjub adjusts his pants, he notices that the pugwampi's jaw has gone a little slack as Abud’s spell goes into effect. [i]"Talk to us, little friend. Why did you take the goat? Anyone told you to set fire to a wagon?" "[/i] The pugwampi stares at the half-elf as it squeaks out a response. [i]"Saw goat and happy people with it. Wanted to hurt goat make people unhappy. Laugh and laugh and maybe give skull to big gods." "No one told. Out at night look for food. Got cold. Saw old man in wagon with little fires and went in through window. Little fire came big fire. Man went to get out but door not open. Laugh! Funny and throw little pictures at man while he burn." "Yes, funny..."[/i] Abud gives a little chuckle. [i]"Are there any more of you around the camp?" "No. Not round camp." "Where? Close?" "None your business!" "We just want to keep them out of harm's way. If I know where, I can keep the human's attention away from you. More goats, more fires, more unhappy people."
