(Casual D&D) A Game of Trust

Well, Yes now that you mention it, I'm almost through my rations, so bartering for some food wll do the trick. and otherwise I can blast them with my magic to get what we need if they aren't that *peacefull*

Satisfied with the answer the noble Knight has given him, Fendric agrees with the others on the question of rations.

"Yes, I'm afraid my food has run out as well, good sir. There isn't much I can hunt with a flail and a sling, I'm afraid, and we never had much to hunt in Hedrogura, anyway.' Fendric smiles at this thought.
 

Sensing agreement, Exantrius leads you down into the valley, through the trees in the direction of the smoke.

As you approach the source, you begin noticing strange things in the trees: Stretched hides painted with awful faces in blood, strung up bonus, and more than one apparently human skull.

"Just for show, no doubt," Exantrius reassures you. "If they wanted violence, after all, they'd be much better giving no warning at all, rather than begging us to question our courage that we may turn back!"

Soon you can see large tents, strung up between the trees, shaped by the growth of the forest. They are patched together, cured hide and tendon, but appear to be well-crafted: The are rolled over upon each other, probably water-tight. The sides are painted with large red shapes, patterns, and runes -- too bright to be stale blood.

As you approach the encampment, you see no figures (or rather, make Spot checks :) )... Exantrius calls out something in a foreign tongue (anybody speak Hobgoblin?)
 


nupe

Is Goblin close?
Spot check is a 8 for me, and should i have to roll for Astrule, i rolled an 18, and with his +8 in spot, that makes 26.

You don't see anything, but you get the sense from Astrule that you are indeed not alone.

As for Goblin, the roots are similar, and given context it's pretty clear that he's sending his greetings, and asking to barter.
 


OoC:What, everyone else isn't 8th Level? :P
Sorry, the Jack-of-all-Trades was a mistake.

IC: Niccolo waits nervously, his Violin held in his hands.
Hobgoblins? he thinks to himself, surely the Knight wasn't thinking of Talking to them? Hobgoblins ATE people...at least that's what he had always heard...
 

"Oh no, no," whispers Merrim to herself. "Don't like the looks of this at all. Kinda creepy, eh?"

Spot is a 4 (woo hoo! Ignorance is bliss)
Listen is a 19

Merrim will nervously have the words to color spray ready to fly off of her lips in a moments notice.
 

Hehehehehe

Noticing the wee jesters apprehension, Aerda leans over, and as his horse is to the left and slightly behind the one jalarzi and merrim ride on, he can approach behind the gnome unheard, his face close enough. He randomly yells out, "BAH!"

(ooc-its hard to describe randomness, lol. but the point is, he is trying to scare merrim)

(also ooc-uriel: but ill have to agree with you, it is a wonderful feat, i probably will take it.)
