Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter Two

[unleashed]

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Well, I hope your people have fun with their new forms, but currently I’m finding the whole concept of running into myself down here, a little disquieting to say the least. So I’m inclined to resume our search for the missing priests, and work on getting your people back to you... perhaps after that, I might feel comfortable enough with the idea of bumping into myself, to spend some time sojourning in your domain,” Keryth offers with a wry smile.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The Recipient responds to Keryth in her non-emotional tone, "As I tell all who have come from the surface: you are welcome to go whenever you desire. We have little you all want unless you are into fungus and sheep. I see little need to restrain your movement."

Destiny adds, "Well, at least I'm safe. These creatures are much to large to take my form, uh, right?" Her tone is more questioning than confident.

Destiny adds, "Well, at least I'm safe. These creatures are much to large to take my form, uh, right?" Her tone is more questioning than confident.

"Never trust assumptions," Byntrou whispers to his small companion. Louder he says to the Recipient, "Always good to have a chance to get the lay of the land. Perhaps we'll wander a bit before leaving?"

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

Keryth shrugs, “Yes, I suppose we could wander for a little while before leaving, if you’d like...”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Destiny shrugs her shoulders. "Up to you guys. I'll be happy either way. Bahruul, you've been especially quiet lately. Any thoughts?"

 

[unleashed]

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“It seems Bahruul has nothing to say,” Keryth remarks with a chuckle, slapping the big bous on the shoulder, “so let’s go do our exploring, and leave the Recipient to her thoughts. Just warn me if you see me approaching though okay, as I’m still not entirely comfortable with the idea of other people looking like me.”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Bahruul smiles as Keryth slaps him. "Sorry for my silence, it just seems odd to have to consider meeting with yourself and know that you're the right one ... what with my life and all."

Destiny replies to Keryth, "Well, if we see two of me that'd spook me out as well. I get the feeling that we might not be ready to handle that fact. You think we should instead return to the surface and find out what really happened to the priests rather than face meeting up with ourselves?"

 

[unleashed]

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“True enough for anyone I’d say... though your obligations do require a little more certainty than most,” Keryth remarks with smile.

Turning to Destiny, Keryth continues, “And speaking of obligations, heading out in search of the priests sounds like a good idea to me, as we’re still pretty much in the dark about what’s happened to them, and I don’t think we’ll learn more down here. Though perhaps the future will allow us to return when things are not as pressing, and we’re more prepared for... meeting ourselves.”

Byntrou, roguishly sorcerous barbarian

Byntrou nods.

"I think I do enough debating myself inside my head that I don't need to find myself in a literal version," Byn chuckles, then his face darkens. "But if the priests aren't here, then our little exit may not be as benign as we think it is. When we get there, let me do some checking before we go trying the miners' trinket," he suggests.

 

[unleashed]

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Certainly, let’s take all precautions,” Keryth agrees. “Though it’s also possible the priests bypassed the barrier on their own, and left without the miner’s guidance back through the mines, in which case they may have gotten themselves lost... or they simply headed down the other tunnel we might have chosen, and found it actually led somewhere other than back to this community.”
