[LPF] Toad in the Hole

[Artur Hawkwing]

Marcus looks to Fae'shiel, aware that as a half-elf he likely is, at an even more distant relation, also blood kin to the Gremlins.

For Humans and others, it is a natural reaction to the unknown or a threat which makes them uneasy. As it seems no one has been harmed, and they are known to be alive, I'd be more curious what prompted them, if they'd been willing to avoid confrontation before, to act in such a cunningly aggressive manner. Seems a bit of bad luck, the horse finding that trap. If we can find a way to converse with them, perhaps we can find out. They are only known to speak...Gnoll I think it is...and I haven't a clue about their language. Although, if that fails, we may have no other choice.

He turns a look to the Dwarf, not the driver.

So he will at least get us that far before running off again.

His tone, a little stern when discussing his fellow half-elf, turns to a more tactical tone.

The other wagon, was it left for dead or was it recovered?

Maui raises an eyebrow at the comments about talking to the gremlins.

"Ha! Te cold iron is to scare te Puffwampi. Maui will show them his sword, Taniwha will show them his teeth. They will give us te swords. And Forgotten Daughter can tell her cousins to behave."

Maui looks quite proud of his obviously infallible plan to resolve what is, as far is he is concerned, a very simple problem. He stands as though that should be enough to resolve the planning and waits impatiently for the others to get moving.

"Would you stop calling me that. I have not been forgotten by anyone that I can think of. And it is rather insulting to me that you think I am forgotten by my family. So I would prefer it if you would either call me by my name, or not talk to me at all. Oh and by the way my name is Fae'shiel." She says to Maui in a rather huffy mood.

 

[Caim]

"Why is everyone so quick to rush into violence against a subspecies of the Fey that probably doesn't have any other alternative in order to survive?"

Mortar listens to Fae'shiel carefully before speaking. "It's not that we want to kill the little pests but rather remove a possible threat from a known trade route. The driver said they've never been this aggressive in they're actions which would suggest another force at work and if the gremlins can be spared than so be it."

"So he will at least get us that far before running off again."

Mortar simply nods before gathering his equipment. "I won't be requiring a cold iron weapon."

"We have a days journay ahead of us...so if we are set I would suggest we make our way to the wagon."

 

[DalkonCledwin]

"I won't be requiring a cold iron weapon."

"I shan't be needing a Cold Iron Weapon either." Fae'shiel says as she chants a minor spell creating several small orbs of dancing light floating around her head. Which she quickly dismisses after a brief display of her more entertaining side. She does say however "I would prefer to prepare some different spells upon arriving at the Inn however, so that I am more prepared for whatever it is we end up doing."

 

[Scott DeWar]

"Hmmmm. if they are more aggressive and you know they speak gnoll, then maybe they are in cahoots with gnolls."

 

[DalkonCledwin]

"Hmmmm. if they are more aggressive and you know they speak gnoll, then maybe they are in cahoots with gnolls."

"I can speak the Orc and Goblin languages. Does that mean I am in 'cahoots' with Orcs and Goblins? Language is not an indicator of who one allies with." Fae'shiel says to Vincenzo.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I can speak the Orc and Goblin languages. Does that mean I am in 'cahoots' with Orcs and Goblins? Language is not an indicator of who one allies with." Fae'shiel says to Vincenzo.

Wishing to say yes just to get her ire up he refrains and says, "I mearly suggest that the change in tactics and knowledge of the gnoll language might say who the real instigator of the attack was.

the creatures formerly woud run at the sight or prescence og resistance. The addition of a hidden pit sounds way out of their league."

Then direcly to their guide he asks, "In detail, Senior Biaggio, what did they look like and how did they in the past present their attacks?"

The other wagon, was it left for dead or was it recovered?

"It's still out there, as far as I know. If it's in working order, we'll pay for it if you recover it, just like everything else," Varga says. "Now, I took the liberty of digging into our leftovers bin, and I pulled out a wand for you. Not much juice left to it, but it's better than nothing in case you get bloody. I'll need you to initial a receipt for it, because if it's damaged or lost, it'll come out of your pay at at the end. Otherwise, if you're ready to go, the horses are already hitched and harnessed."

Then direcly to their guide he asks, "In detail, Senior Biaggio, what did they look like and how did they in the past present their attacks?"

Alvise shrugs. "They hooted at us, and they threw stones. There wasn't any of the pit-digging business before, to be sure. As for what they look like, they're evil little dog-looking buggers, they are, with all due respect to the elven lass's ancestry."

GM: Varga is offering a wand of CLW with 18 charges. The price of it will be deducted from group funds at the end. Decide amongst yourselves who's carrying it. The wagon seats six -- three rows of two seats. Alvise will be driver's side, front row. Please also let me know where you're sitting (driver's or passenger's, front/middle/rear). First come, first served. Taniwha will be able to fit under the seat where Maui is sitting, or he can walk next to the wagon, jbear's choice. @Scott DeWar Please upload a picture of Vincenzo to your wiki page, or otherwise post or mail me a pic, because I'll need it for tactical combat. And while it's not an absolute rule, I'd prefer if you picked a color for Vincenzo's speech.

..... Varga Renlow ......... Alvise Biaggio ...

 

[DalkonCledwin]

"Mister Biaggio, you should take care. At least half of your own ancestry is related to those creatures if only distantly. I wouldn't want you to go and insult your own blood heritage in the process of insulting my own." Fae'shiel says with the hint of sarcasm in her voice as she looks at the wand and says "Perhaps it would be best if the young wildman were to carry this Wand. I imagine that the wand uses magic that he would be more familiar with than I am."
