A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [03]

[mleibrock]

Tsadok makes his way back down to the side of the upper level and then the lower until his feet are once again on steady ground. He hides along the building, checking to see that the coast is clear before he crosses out into the open to get back to the building his friends are eagerly waiting. Once there...

Tsadok tried to calm his racing heart and voice, "Uh...jackpot! I think the giant creature that Almah's folks have been seeing flying back and forth is making a roost in that building. I'm not a 100% sure but I hear cooing and see a pair of giant talons and from the looks of 'em, I'm sure glad I didn't wake that thing! I don't think we want to hang around this building waiting for guards to ambush."

[sblock=OOC]Thanks Scott! But I think you are a little confused, he definitely hurts folks, let him knock you upside your head and you will see. It's the killing he's not much fond of. He thinks the rest of ya'll have the problem respecting the sanctity of life. He's not giving up on converting all of you though. [/sblock]

"Any idea what it might be?" Harnrey gets a far away look, like he is meditating on a complicated mathematical fomulae.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=OOC]BTW, it's not really all that big - about human sized . . . Although Tsadok's excitement and naivete might be making it seem larger than life .

From the glimpses he's had, Tsadok can't tell what it is.[/sblock]

 

[mleibrock]

"I am not sure exactly what it is, I couldn't see it fully from where I was but from everything we see, I'm pretty sure it's the critter Almah's men have been seeing about twilight."

OOC: Has Houwlou heard Almah's men/guards/soldiers talking about the crature at all in camp? If so, what has he heard, exactly?

Houwlou's IC commentary on the subjecta will have to wait a response to the OOC question, sorry.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: He's heard them, but they're not really sure what it is and haven't really been able to see it clearly as it typically flies from it's hidey hole here to the Battle Market at dusk or later. It's humanoid, with wings, and probably about human sized. Houwlou doesn't have enough to hazard a guess as to what it might be.

"The men don't seem to know what it is, either, other than it is about man-sized, winged, and it flies at night. Or that's all I've been able to gather, anyway."

 

[mleibrock]

[sblock=OOC]Mike, Can you refresh mine/our memory? Do we think this thing works for what's his bad ass name? Have we seen it do anything other than fly around? We are assuming someone is feeding it? Not that it is providing for itself? [/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

[sblock=OOC]It's been seen flying back and forth between this building and the Battle Market, always at dusk or dawn. It may be flying during the night as well, but there's no way to see it from the monastery if it is.

As to what you think or assume about it, I have no idea really. You've never seen anyone delivering anything to the old tannery where it seems to spend most of its time (where it is now), so if they're providing for it they're doing that under cover of darkness as well. It was not in the Battle Market during Tsadok/Houwlou's visit, so you've no first hand knowledge of the relationship - if any - between it and Kardswann.[/sblock]

 

[mleibrock]

After Tsadok finishes relating what he found to the others, he continues... "I don't know why I have this feeling that we should make contact with this creature. If he is not connected to Kardswann, he could prove to be quite the ally and if he is, well... we can always run away."
