"I think I see 'a head'". I couldn't resist.

 

[Leif]

OOC: Stop! A head!

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

"Ten pieces of gold for each of us??!! We're not asking him to build us a new bridge, just to allow us to walk over the one that's already there. Ten pieces of gold for one crossing is, quite literally, highway robbery, but, then I guess you'd gladly pay 10 pieces of gold if it would mean not losing your head, wouldn't you?"

"Indeed, if I lost my head I'm not sure how I'd find myself again! My master sets the price; I am simply the bearer of the news. But my advice would be to pay or find another way across, as he can be quite . . . firm . . . with those who attempt to thwart him.

[sblock=Leif]

OOC: Can Houwlou make a spellcraft check to notice anything special about the 'head', other than that it is just a head that is talking to us? Raw d20 for Houwlou's spellcraft check (1d20=13) +8=21 - adjusted score

OOC: Incidentally, has Houwlou recovered any of his missing con from the stirge fight?

No info from the spellcraft check, other than you've not seen or heard anything that seems like somatic or verbal components.

Everyone's damage - HP and Ability Damage both - was completely restored by the rest. All systems are full green.

Welcome back, BTW![/sblock]

"So your master wishes to get ahead in society by charging exobant crossing tolls? "

then to the abhak, " it is beyond my knowledge and capabilities"

"Well I for one say we should cross elsewhere! Hmpf, grrrr!"

"Bid your Master our best wishes, but we have not the funds to pay his toll. We shall seek another way around, unless he might have need of a stalwart group of adventurers?"

 

[Leif]

Houwlou Groulenas

The Olcán evidently doesn't quite get it: "I'm surely not gonna pay his rich toll and then offer to do his dirty work for him!"

Houwlou Groulenas

OOC: How near to the bridge/river is our little noggin? soccer kick range?

"You know, I'll just bet that our 'friend' here would have a pretty rough time of it trying to swim...."

[Maidhc O Casain]

The creature takes on an air of injured dignity as he steadfastly ignores the jibes and responds to Keeland's instruction.

"I think you would not wish to serve him. I know I don't. He is a harsh taskmaster and brooks no disobedience, as you saw by the method of my arrival. I will convey your intentions to him . . . best of luck in your endeavors!"

With these words it turns about and floats off at a brisk pace toward the bridge, some 250 yards away.
