[Adventure] The Mine-Militia Identity. (DM: horticulture; Judge: covaithe)

[twilsemail]

OOC: Non-lethal damage from Felix on the OA, please.

Felix peers down the pit and grins at the bobbing dwarves. A moment later they see him holding a rope, "I'll lower this and save you the trouble of drowning if you can tell us what you were up to." Felix has every intention of taking the helpless Duergar in to a magistrate if it's a possibility. He turns to Mina and speaks in the flowery tongue of the empire. As he speaks he gestures to Fix.

[sblock=Eladrin]Mistress. Could you, by chance, check to see if our friend could freeze the water they are floating in? Preferably with heads above the water.[/sblock]

OOC: If anyone wants an insight check, he's being sincere.

 

[Luinnar]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiit! Sharpe shouts. Don't you want to listen to my song before you do anything? he says and starts to sing, not surprisingly about a dragon.

OOC: Using song of rest +5 to surge value. Sharpe will spend 2 surges for full HP. Was that a milestone too?

What should we do with them? he says peering into the pit and thinking of some very entertaining things to do, all end in feeding them to his dragon.

OOC: That should have been our 4th encounter, so yeah, Milestone. I'd be all over taking a short rest, but there's a chance of armored Duergar drowning while we sit around. When the short rest comes, Felix will spend 1 surge to get up to 25/26; 4/9 surges.

"Sharpe, if they drown now, you don't get to interrogate them later." He peers down the pit once more. "I'd really recommend losing the metal pajamas... They can't be helping with the not drowning."

Mina replied in the same musical language, though her tone seemed a bit cold.
[sblock= eladrin]
>"I am not certain we want or need them. We have the one up here, and one seems as good as the next. But should we think we need the set, we can probably arrange some ice for them..."

[Luinnar]

Sharpe utters something in a strange language. At first it sounds like a unicorn being strangled, but soon you realize it is the same language being spoken by Mina and Felix.

[sblock=Eladrin]
Lets let the dragon do it! He has cold breath, it would be lots of fun! I bet he would love it! We could drag them along and save them for morsels for him when he gets hungry!

"Stop talking nonsense, all of you. Felix, drop them the rope, I don't think they have much fight in them after this quick defeat. And good work with that grate, I think that's fastest I've ever seen anyone open locked gate. Even if we don't get any information out of them, we cannot just let them drown while we're watching. Think on it! Don't let your battle vigor cloud your senses. We would be same as they are if we did."

Young boy speaks with calm of much older warrior, altough he's still breathing hard from exertion and hits he has taken.

"No one is to take another's life if that can be helped. Maim before killing, harm before maiming, disable before harming and the best way to win a fight is by not fighting at all."
this sounds like well learned credo of this or that organisation, but it seems the boy has taken it to heart.

OOC: I'm not sure about exact english translation, esp. differerence before maim and harm, but you get the idea. Also, this is what you get when traveling with LG character

EDIT: can't get used to this green color always using orange for some reason

 

[Luinnar]

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fthagn! Ph'nglui mglw'nfah Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! Sharpe says in response to Drew, pointing at him.

[sblock=Deep Speech]
Is this guy crazy, or is it just me and Mind Flayer next to me?
[/sblock]

 

[twilsemail]

OOC: Luinnar, if I could XP you for that, I would.

"Of course I wasn't going to let them die. I plan to turn them over to the authorities once this is all sorted out." As he says the last he's looking more at Sharpe than Drew.

The rope is slowly lowered down to the Duergar. Felix only gives them enough tension to hold themselves out of the water. If they try to climb, he'll let some of the rope slide through his hands.

 

[Someone]

"Think on it! Don't let your battle vigor cloud your senses. We would be same as they are if we did."

Prime stops repairing his dented head cover, and the tiles on his chest twirl and clank.

Drew looks at the automaton incredulously.

He then smiles and shakes his head before dropping down to rest some.

OOC: Spend 1 surge with Song of Rest. Unless someone can provide surgeless healing, Drew is down to 1 surge. Or some surge sharing? It seems I'll be throwing daggers next encounter.
