[AU] Siege on Ebonring Keep - Part 2

[Gideon]

Ritsar

Ritsar's face lights up as an idea pops into his head. "You all are obviously travelers and your race are reknowned protectors" he says with a look towards the giants " would you be interested in traveling to the Kisthmetch?"

ooc: I apologize for the introduction, I just completely forgot their were Faen in the group until Cordo posted.

 

[Liminal Syzygy]

Pyior is silent for a while, wheels turning. Finally he speaks, watching closely for any tell-tale reactions:

"We have already decided to visit this Heart of Darkness. But I must level with you -- I have reason to suspect you are a member of the Trythium sent to follow us and report on us -- or worse! We ran into some members of the Trythium a few days out of town. While it didn't come to blows, they made it clear we were not welcome. Then soon after we arrive in this establishment, you show up and try to insinuate yourself into our group.

I won't deny the possibility that you could be an innocent and this could all be a coincidence, but I'm sure you understand the reason for my suspicion.

Will you accept magical questioning so that I can determine where you stand? Afterwards, we can discuss whether you join us or not."

(To hurry things along, if Ritsar accepts, Pyior will prepare Compelling Question (Lesser). He will then ask Gideon three questions: 1) "Are you a member of the Trythium?" 2) "Were you following me and my friends?" 3) "Do you mean any harm to me and my friends?")

Ys-Korros watches as Pyior questions the new arrival. While he is not normally suspicious he does agree with Pyior that they had to remain on their toes. But this magical questioning did not sit well. Ys-Korros did not know many litorians during his time, but those he did know where very prickley about their honor. He sincerely hoped that this Ritsar would not take too much offence at Pyior's questions or method of asking.

(provided Pyior does start asking the questions, magically) Ys-Korros turns his head away from the two, somewhat embarrased and a feeling a little guilty for having let this go so far.

Ritsar

"You can ask your questions." Looking over to Ys-Korros "You are responsable for guarding me while I am drowsed by magic."

You can probably tell Ritsar is unhappy with the doubting but can understand.

After each question Ritsar answers in his deep growl "No"

 

[Liminal Syzygy]

ooc: waiting to hear confirmation from Rybear that Pyior didn't get a lying reaction on any of these 'No' answers.

 

[Rybaer]

ooc: waiting to hear confirmation from Rybear that Pyior didn't get a lying reaction on any of these 'No' answers.

ooc - Right. Pyior gets no sense that Ritsar is trying to resist the spell or answer untruthfully.

 

[Liminal Syzygy]

"As far as I can tell you speak the truth. So if my companions want to travel with you, I won't object."

Then, almost under his breath, Pyior adds "But I still don't completely trust you."

 

[Gideon]

Ritsar

Ritsar looks at Pyior and shakes his head slightly. "So what do his companions think about traveling to the Kisthmetch?" looking at the other occupants of the table hopefully.

"Hey, I'm easy to get along with, its fine with me. Now my faen friend just appears standoffish, first a lady wishes to bed him and now you. I don't know, although I will admit the lady was a little pushy." He looks to Pyior, "should we undergo your spell? You seem to use them quite a bit lately." He says this in a happy tone with a smile on his face. He is obviously just curious.

 

[Erekose13]

"Yes we can travel together. We have only just arrived and hoped to wait until the morrow before setting out. If you are agreeable to this, then we are set." Says Ys-Korros. While feeling a little guilty for his companion having put this new fellow through the wringer, he knew what Pyior was getting at and he promised himself that irreguardless he would always keep an eye on Ritsar.
