Academy of Drell, Part 6

[Tokiwong]

"I have no love for Giants, so if you would not mind putting me on the team to scout for the orcs."

Yes lets go talk to the nice giant who has a pet bear that I would be an after dinner mint for.

Keith nods, "You come with me little gnome, we will scout the rest of the island for the orcs, I for one want to see where the citizens are being held..."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"Paendaerig. I have a Potion of Tongues. Would you like me to come along?" Lyrique says.

 

[Calim]

"If you don't mind getting dirty, Lyrique."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"Heh! As long as I can get clean afterwards.... I'm good." Lyrique smirks. Gods do they think I'm that much of a priss? "I'm sure I can hold my own. Lead the way Keith."

 

[Jarval]

"I'll go with the scouting party. Diplomacy's not my strong suit." Mortimer shoulders his pack. "I'm not sure of the wisdom of letting the giants know we're here. If I recall correctly, the orcs kidnapped our people to give the giants something non-orc to snack on."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique looks at Mortimer and shakes his head. "Thank you. I forgot about that. I was so focused on my parentsa and rescuing them from the Orcs that I forgot the reason the Orcs took our people. Lets find out how many giants there are and see if there is anything we can do about them." Lyrique hands the potion over to Mortimer. "Use this when you get there if you need to. I have all the stealth ability of a bull in plate armor so I will not be going."

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn mutters, "Some how I don't think the people the orcs came to sell our families too as food are going to want to play nice with other nibblets."

He stands up, brushing himself off and trying to restore some feeling to his frozen nose, "No diplomacy for me, thank you."

But...

Don't even Kari, not on this.

 

[Zhure]

I think I've been awake too long with too little sleep. Who has decided to go on a scouting party for the orcs and who has decided to go to speak with the giants? (4 hours of sleep in 36 hours; longest "weekend" of my life. I'm relieved to be going back to work tonight. Hopfeully I'll be more cognitive after another day's rest.)

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith nods, and looks to his group, "Rallyn, Paendaerig, Lyrique, and Mortimer are with me, the rest of you, check out the giants, use your judgement, and don't put yourselves in needless danger... lets go."

Keith leads the scout group into the woods...

 

[Dalamar]

"T-thank you..."
Sildarin is genuinely surprised for Paenderig's gift. He places it carefully to the quiver along with the rest of his arrows.
