[AU] Stone Bones

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet's clever enough that he'll catch Dak's desire, and will allow him the use of the dagger as he goes to confront the slime. He won't attack yet, though, allowing the elementals to do their duty. Assuming he has time, he will take a small tindertwig from his witchbag, pluck a hair, and light the hair, summoning a minor fire elemental to join the fight.*

Hearing the voices beyond and the advice of the earth spirit, Phaern readies himself for more hand-to-hand combat. He begins by casting lesser beastskin, eldritch armor, and mark of air on himself, to start with atleast.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"CHILDREN OF FLESH DARE NOT TOUCH THE CHILDREN OF OOZE" the spirit booms. "BUT FLESH BETRAYED WILL SOON BREAK THE BONES."

*Dak knows the green slime is natural, but deadly to living things. Best let the elementals at it.*

*The elementals take several more moments to shread a clear path through the ooze (about 5 rounds worth of time). Standing on the other side, barely visible in the light from your glowglobes are five figures. They're human-like in stature, with pale skin, black eyes, and slight frames. Four of them, three males and a female, all have their heads shaved, while the fifth, a female, has her snow-white hair in sharp spikes. They all wear strange armor made of many small plates. They seem to have a rather fluid and organic look to them. They have many weapons in their hands, from swords seemingly carved of bone, to black daggers the drip a viscous green fluid, to rock-like throwing wedges. They make no move to attack, but neither to they let their weapons drop.*

 

[Rybaer]

"Uh, hello there," Leesea says in undercommon. She flits up into the air above her companions, trying to appear non-threatening. "Are you from around here?"

 

[Ashy]

Darthallys growls low in his chest, but otherwise makes no move or sound. He keeps his eyes riveted on these strange ones before him, trying to discern their motives...

 

[dead_radish]

OOC: Anyone else wishing they'd picked Undercommon?

*Kelthet peers curiously at the party. Assuming they make no threatening moves, he is not entirely concerned (After all, we stand before them with arms bared), but is ready to act if need be. He is a bit intrigued by the look of the group*

OOC: In case you've forgotten, Kelthet is an albino.

 

[Ashy]

Darthallys, realizing that some of the group are not privy to the grunted and grumbled words that are flying back and forth, quickly translates into Common. Still, he keeps his eyes locked on the group beyond the slime wall...

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Of course we are. Where else would we be from?" the woman grates out. Her eyes lock on Kelthet, and she makes an odd salute, like kissing the blade of her dagger sideways.

Dak

An involuntary whine escapes from Dak's throat. He whispers plaintively to the spirits of green things burried deep in beneath the earth, coaxing them to protect him with thier fibrous strength. From the cave floor beneath him, tiny fissures make way for sinuous, leafy tendrils which wrap Dak from nose to toes in a rugose arboreal panoply.

[ooc:casts plant armor enhanced with the Cyclopean Verbage template...]

Turning to the Giant Eyes In The Wall Elemental Cave Spirit, he whispers,
"Betrayers of Flesh...izzat them yonder?"

 

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet blinks at the woman, surprised by her strange response. His friends likely wish he had the guile to explore the gesture, but he's a simple man. He just shrugs apologetically, and studies their armaments with a practiced eye.*
