B6: The Veiled Society - IC

"Assault and murder are too completely different crimes," says Celythia. "Furthermore, there is no way to hide our involvement...plenty of folks at the inn knew we were coming down here to help Goodwife Thanato. If we kill them and the bodies are discovered, it will lead back to us, and look worse than what it is." She shakes her head. "My vote is to hand them over to the city authorities, and explain the situation," she continues.

"I totally agree with Celythia. Its the wisest thing to do. I still can't help feeling that if we are not extremely careful, someone is going to set us up." Caridoc says this, not in his normally cheerful manner but in a very worried tone of voice.

 

[Theroc]

"If things are as you two say, we will be set up if we take them to the authorities, and used as a cover for their actions, in which case I risked personal injury for naught but punishment. If they have support within the city, we have already doomed ourselves... and turning in these slavers would remove our only remotest leverage."

"My mother always taught me that knowledge is power. Therefore, the obvious course of action is to find out what's going on and, more importantly, who is behind it. Anyway that's for the future. So the kobolds next?

 

[Theroc]

"If knowledge is power, I want that power BEFORE I deal with the kobolds. No sense attacking more of them if that only digs us a deeper hole... not like we can effectively haul all of the bodies out of here as it is..."

 

[Rhun]

Celythia was glad to have Caridoc back up her plan. She was really starting to like the gnome...his wisdom and reliability made him a valuable companion. "Two votes to one for reporting the situation after we deal with the kobolds. Rezak, Barek, where do you stand?"

 

[HolyMan]

"I is in standin' rights 'ere" the rogue responds with a clever twist of a smile. "But's if ye wants dim koolbulds a runnin' off with any a dame-ins daes finds, then ye alls just stands and chats aways, chats aways."

Rezak folds his arms and almost looks like he would start tapping his foot if he didn't know better.

"An in just disarm them there hobbs, an a 'ets go. They wont's be a botherin' us."

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

Barek seems to come out of a fugue when he's addressed correctly.

"Sorry. I was listening for the kobolds," he says, looking a bit sheepish. "But the fact is, the longer we wait, the more likely the kobolds will be coming to check on their allies. I'd love to find out what's going on here, but I'd rather do that when I know there's no immediate threat. If we've set ourselves up, I can't imagine a few more roundly felled enemies will make it worse."

Here he pauses to smile, a rakish thing, as he adds, "So I say we might as well just find all the trouble and have all the fun we can before we have to face the consequences. Asking forgiveness is easier than asking permissions, yes?"

 

[Rhun]

"Let's go then. Rezak, Kynar...think you can find us some kobolds?"

 

[HolyMan]

"Rights than," Rezak says rubbing his hands together and a smile creasing his face. "Aft-tin ye." he says to Kynar indicating the new tunnel.
