B6: The Veiled Society - IC

The younger man gets up, leaving his sword on the floor. "Cartha ordered the hit on Lucia Vorloi, against our father Anton's better judgment. Then when you guys started poking around, Cartha tried to have you taken out. Cartha's recklessness angered our father, and now you see the result. It is Cartha who you should take revenge on. I am Zweis, and if you let me return to the others, you have my word we'll leave you alone."


Cartha flushes red with anger. "Zweis, you traitor, how dare you accuse me of your own crimes!"

OCC: Sense Motive or kill them both? We all know which Rezak would choose at this stage.

"I say we kill them both, and then deal with the rest of their ilk," says Celythia, her voice low and grim, still covering the men with her bow. "Their crimes have certainly earned them such a fate."

"Well Cartha there is the one that's been causing us all the problems and the one that is going to get us out of it. So I suggest we at least keep him alive." Caridoc pauses for a minute before continuing. "Well it will be easier if he was alive but its not absolutely essential. As far as Zweis is concerned. Why don't we let him go. He hasn't done anything to us and his organisation is not our business." Caridoc thinks a bit more before finishing "Anyway, having friends in low places certainly won't harm us."

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"See, now look how lovely it is to cooperate," Barek says now that both men have disarmed. "As for what to do with you..." he furrows his brow and hums a bit, as if thinking on it. Then he smiles knowingly, raising his eyebrow as he looks at the brother he's determined to be a liar. "Are you quite sure you're telling us the truth?"

OOC: Using Versatile Performance Sense Motive. Yoinks. Unless they have awesome Bluff scores, I think Barek spotted the liar.

Barek looks accusingly at Cartha.

Cartha replies "Zweiss did all this trying to take over. Of course he needed a man inside your little group to pull it off. Barek's clearly the man. He fooled you all."

Suddenly, Cartha swings aside part of the wall and begins running, charging up what had been a hidden staircase.

 

[HolyMan]

"?!?" - from Rezak

"?!?" - from HM

Although initially taken by surprise, Caridoc recovers quickly and shouts out "FALL" in a commanding voice.

At the sudden movement from Cartha, Celythia releases the arrow she was holding ready, sending it streaking after the man.


AC: 17 (Mage Armor), Hit Points: 16/16

I assume she can take the attack as a readied action, even though we weren't technically in combat rounds?

Attack: Longbow +5 (1d8/x3)

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"I do hate secret doors," the half-orc says with a sigh. As his companions do their best to subdue Cartha, Barek growls to Zweiss, "Don't you dare move or I will cut you down, liar or not."

OOC: edit: heh. Okay, with that pitiful intiative, I don't imagine Barek would be able to get off a Grease spell before his target had run out of range, so I'll stick with threatening our current prisoner / readying an attack against him if he tries to run after his brother.
