CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Rhun]

The dwarf gives Coraine the evil eye, and snarls at the paladin. Still, he begins to speak, although he doesn't at all sound intimidated by the holy warrior's tactics. "Too many of us, fool. We are a veritable army, devot to our cause. We were merely returning from a..." the dwarf pauses as he thinks about the right words. "...recruitment meeting. We were quite surprised to find you in our tower."

 

[Rhun]

"You will all die, victims of the great and powerful elements!" shouts the dwarf suddenly, straining against his bonds.

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“Sooner or later,” Dara says calmly, as she kicks against the dwarf's head, gently enough not to hurt him, but firm enough to make him feel. “And right now it looks sooner for you and later for us!”


OOC: Intimidate +7

 

[Scotley]

Verdis will again add to another's efforts trying to look dangerous and flexing his arcane might.

OOC: [sblock]Aid another imtimidate +5[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

The dwarf sighs. "What do you want to know? I'll answer your questions, but I doubt it will get you very far."

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“Who is the leader of this cult? And what is it that you are doing here?”

 

[Rhun]

"We have many leaders. Supreme Commander Hedrack is the greatest of those," answers the dwarf. He narrows his eyes at Dara's questions as to what they are doing in this place. "This is our place. You are the ones who do not belong. You should leave before you meet your death. I can assure you, it will not be pleasant."

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

"You let us worry about our deaths and worry about your own. Tell me about your contacts in town. Who's involved with this cult of yours."

 

[Rhun]

"Ha, the whole of Nulb is ours. They fear us, and will happily provide aid and shelter to any who swear fealty to the Temple!"

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“I don't expect it to be pleasant. And unlike your kind, I do not relish the thought of causing harm to others, but what must be done, will be done. And who the ones are who belong, will be decided afterwards.”

 

[Rhun]

"Your success came only from surprise. Our forces are now aware of you, that much is certain. And, they have great magical resources...they will come searching for me, and will find you and slaughter you all." The dwarf shrugs. "Or perhaps they will simply sacrifice you to the fury of the elements." The dwarf chuckles evilly as if the thought pleases him greatly.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

"Oh they'll find you. I don't think you'll be much good to them when they do, but they'll find you. We have magical resources as well. What power do they have that I cannot match?"

 

[Rhun]

"Ha, your fledging powers are no match for the Temple!" The dwarf grins at you. "Fire, water, earth and air! You cannot compare to the majesty of the elements!"

 

[Boddynock]

"So you worship the elements? What sort of gods are they? Why should we fear someone who bows down to a handful of mud?"

 

[Rhun]

The dwarf chuckles madly. "But therein is the beauty of the mud...you think little of it, but it can choke you, suffocate you. You could sink in to it, never to be seen again. It can slide down a mountain, wiping entire towns away without a trace!"

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

"Pah, I've been down there, I've seen the depravity of the works down there. What sort of people would worship such evil?"

 

[Rhun]

"Those that seek power," replies the dwarf.

 

[Rhun]

"And now we know you are here," laughs the dwarf. "You might have had some success with surprise on your hand. But Redhand escaped! She'll rouse the forces of the Temple against you. Where once you could have struck at the isolated factions, that is no longer possible! The whole of the Temple will rise up and smash you down with forces like you've never seen!" The dwarf continues to laugh.

 

[Boddynock]

"Such bravado! This temple is nothing more than a nest of bandits - and now that one of them has escaped to spread the word, the rest will be cowering in their beds, wetting themselves in fear."

 

[Land Outcast]

He isn't even wearing his armor yet, attentive to teh bandit's words, but he is becoming bored by the stream of nonsense coming from the mud-speaker.
Ragnok is having his patience worn thinner each passing second...
He's been still and silent the whole interrogation...

Suddenly he comes in from the background, stating matter-o-factly with a grim expression
"I ain't 'ere tae lose my time with idle threats"
With this, Ragnok shoots a hard punch at the dwarf's stomach and waits...

While he waits, he picks up the bandit's waraxe and comments in a no-nonsense tone
"Now, would ye rather die than live? Mudfolk"
He refuses to call the creature a dwarf.

"If ye are quick tae answer ye might conserve yer right hand"
With this, Ragnok rises the axe one-handed over the bandit's bound hands, obviously needing a miracle to sever nothing more than the right hand.

[sblock=OOC] Ragnok will try to get mor precise information after the attempt to scare the bandit into speaking more (and seems quite disposed to sever the dwarf's hands).

Yes, it'd be possible to smooth-talk the bandit into revealing more with "naive" questions and shows of fear in response to his threats.
But Ragnok is not that kind of guy.[/sblock]
