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

[Scotley]

"Perhaps the tale of Gibrav is not the only time a foul murder led to the creation of such a hapless soul. How much do we really know about why this place fell? We have a few clues from what we found at the shrines, but I think we should look for more evidence of what happened here as we go about restoring the market. As a wise man once said, 'those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it.'"

"Agreed, Sir," says the Olcán Ranger.

[Maidhc O Casain]

The creature stirs and raises it's horned head, glaring at you balefully. It tests its bonds, but for the moment it appears Tsadok's calf roping skills are up to the task of holding it securely.

Tsadok

Tsadok approaches the creature close enough that it may see his wounds are closed but not close enough that the beast might again gore him. He will glare right back at the beast ( insert intimidate roll here)

"You, my friend, have a choice to make. Do you want to live or shall we finish the job we started?"

 

[renau1g]

The cleric stands with his beefy arms crossed keeping a close eye on the creature.

sense motive (1d20+12=20) to see if it's listening/about to attack [/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Keeland

The elf turns his keen eyes outward, gazing about to see if anyone has noticed the broken door or the noise of the struggle.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

The thing continues to glare at you, but doesn't respond in any other way.

Keeland sees no sign that anyone has noticed the disturbance.

 

[mleibrock]

Tsadok

"So I guess you are going to take some convincing." Tsadok will approach the beast with sap in hand. If the creature does not speak, Radoon will again soundly strike the peryton hoping to render him unconscious.

[sblock=OOC]Mike, I'll let you do the rolling for this[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tsadok administers a savage blow to the creatures skull. It's mouth contorts and sounds emerge . . . it could be speaking, it surely sounds like a language, but it's not one that any of you has any comprehension of. You clearly get the message that the creature is not happy; it's hatred of you comes through clearly.

 

[Scotley]

"Can we drag this thing back with us? Perhaps someone there can speak to it."
