A Paid trip to Spellhold [IC] Chapter 3: The Prison of Horrors

[perrinmiller]

Kaedyn is surprised to find a Tiefling alive and left for dead in this place. He is not comforted in the slightest when the bloke, while being wounded, threatens them with bodily harm without using a weapon.

He speaks up warily, eyes narrowed, "Yeah, what the fook you doing here? You better be careful what you do with your hands too. After threatening us by boasting that you don't need the weapon to do us harm, you are either a looney or a treacherous fiend. Either choice is not high on my list of trustworthy people."

OOC: Welcome to the game, mate. At least I don't have a crotch hound to sniff you up.

Rodric the Bright

Rodric was ready to bring Amaunator's healing light to the wounded Tiefling, but the often mentioning of the minotaur's healing capabilities let stand him back.
This group already knows each other. Best I don't look like I want to replace anyone... he thinks.

[sblock=OOC]
His healing word heals HS+2+1d6 HP and also gives 2 THP. Not sure about the runepriest's healing power.

At Kaedyn's words, the tiefling again chuckles, "Heh, heh. What you interpret as threat is merely a statement of fact. The fell powers at my command require no weapon. And yet you find me bloodied and bruised, lying at death's door. Surely if I pose no threat to a group such as your own who looks quite full of vigor and life."

After a painful wheeze, he continues, "But who am I to expect you to trust the likes of me? My demonic heritage has already condemned me in your estimation, so finish me off if you like. I'm certain it would make you feel better if you did. Rid the world of one more tiefling and the world's a better place, no? You would certainly put my suffering at an end. Do so and I shall know such bigotry and persecution no more."

OOC: I'm not literally asking you to kill my character of course. But Anguish's temperament is such that he has come to expect the worst in people.

 

[Velmont]

"Yeah, and one Lycanthrope less would do the world a better place." reply the shifter. "Strangely, I would have an easy time to find people telling I am wrong. Maybe because doing good deeds is not inherent to your race."

Cliff than see Rodric staying back. "Rodric, maybe you would like to show our new friend he is wrong in his way to think."

 

[perrinmiller]

Kaedyn still is waiting to here the Tiefling's story and speaks his mind, "I am not a murderer, but not a fool either. Considering where we stand, we should hear his story BEFORE you heal him."

Addressing the injured Tiefling directly, still wary and mistrustful, "Spare me your sob story of persecution and don't evade the question. Just tell us what you are doing here and why we should not grant your wish of a peaceful journey to the after-life."

OOC: Welcoming OOC, doesn't mean my character is just going to trust anyone we find in this mad house without an explanation first.

Rodric the Bright

Rodric makes at least sure that the tiefling will not bleed to death while talking.

[sblock=OOC]
Fluff heal check, as the character has no actual ongoing damage.
The descriptions of his wounds would have been nice with a warlord as only healer/leader:
"Stand up! You have no time to bleed!"

Asterion had begun moving forward at Cliff's request, but pauses when Kaedyn speaks. Is it truly just to judge him by his appearance? rumbles the minotaur. I'm sure many of us are all too familiar with that kind of prejudice.

As Rodric applies basic care, Asterion adds, As he says, we are many to his one. I think we should extend some small kindness before interrogating him. My healing is best applied on the battlefield, while Amaunator's light is famed for its soothing properties. Rodric, if you would? Asterion waits, ready to apply healing if Rodric appears reluctant.

[sblock=OOC]Runepriests heal fewer HP than most leaders, but can choose between an offensive of defensive buff for the entire party when they heal. Great during a battle, less so afterwords. Nevertheless, Asterion will heal Anguish if Rodric does not (Rune of Mending allows Anguish to spend a surge, no bonus HP at this level.).[/sblock]

Rodric the Bright

Rodric nods and bows down again to the tiefling as he hears the minotaur's words.
"May the light of Amaunator burn the wicked and restore the just!" He intones as healing light shines from his holy symbol and his brooch.
"This is all I can do. We should rest a bit to let my magic do it's work."

[sblock=OOC]
healing word heals HS+3+1d6 HP and also gives 2 THP. Will use it two times and then suggest a short rest. (I which Anguish can spent more surges as needed. Airwalker, please roll the healing yourself.)

[perrinmiller]

[sblock=OOC]I would like Kaedyn to stop the healing.

Sorry, anyone who evades a question is not trusted no matter he looks like a half-fiend or not. Please give the player a chance to explain himself first. Just because the character is a player doesn't mean we should step out of character and immediately accept that he is not a liar or trying to fool us.

The next time the DM gives us a wolf in sheep's clothing, you would do the same? I think not.[/sblock]
