Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter Two

[Nonlethal Force]

Keryth, Byntrou:

[Sblock=OOC]jkason, I figured that's what you were doing. Rest assured, the dwarf had no plans of interrupting you!

I'll fast forward to the departing moments of the prison so that you all can give the guards/warden any final thoughts before leaving. You can assume that up to that point the robed man has been largely cooperative through his irritation. However, he clearly values his life and so long as he is a captive he's done nothing to make the party think about getting violent. For the sake of not having to retype the story all over again, let's assume that the warden had one of his deputies get a clear and concise statement from everyone in the party.

On the upside, I figured that after the prison would potentially come the time to visit Markie and wife as well as a possible visit to the priests in Great Bend. (Or I suppose even the small temple in Dullstown that you all found). Along the way, I figured that Bahruul and Destiny would vacate, too.[/Sblock]

The warden - another short and well built dwarf (this is a mountainous region, after all) - looks back to the party after taking the robed man into custody. "Thanks for task well done, folks. Rest assured that he'll be receiving a fair but thorough trial once his time comes due. Until then, I believe we've got a nice solitary cell with a special kind of cell bars that'll hold him up tight."

Varius, Eion:

A scruffy looking man with two friends at his table loks up to Varius and yells out, "Sit down, you hear?" Another man from across the room yells out in a tone clearly meant to heckle Varius, "Shut your trap, for the sake of the gods!"

Varius replies "Ah, poor souls. Obviously life has passed you by, and Adventure never called or you never answered. And now, decrepid and spent, you spread your bitterness and bile upon others. Drown yourselves in your mugs, and keep your words there as well." cautions Varius.

"No one here craves adventures. Are all here deaf to her siren call?"

Eion, Varius:

The first man who spoke rises with his fists clenched. "You calling us wussies, pansy boy?"

Eion, Varius:

The first man who spoke rises with his fists clenched. "You calling us wussies, pansy boy?"

"I'm not calling you for supper" retorts Varius "Nor am I even speaking to drunken sops such as yourself. Now sit back down before you fall down old man"

 

[Rino]

Eion sits back and looks what is going to happen next, while going with one hand to one of his daggers

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Eion, Varius:

The man chuckles, as does his friends and the other man who spoke. The man who stood up looks around and speaks as he sits down. "Some adventure he's looking for. Puts out a challenge but withers up as soon as one presents itself." Some of the man's friends laugh.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Yep, back to Markie and his wife first I think, followed by a visit to the local priests we met upon arrival, and then back to Great Bend.[/SBLOCK]

Keryth nods to the warden. “Well, let’s hope your measures are enough to hold him, as we aren’t certain of the extent of his powers.”

Varius sighs "Wit is obviously lost upon fools such as you" he declares. "but note old fool, that it was not I who sat down. It was not I who backed down"

OOC: NF [sblock] The line "I ain't calling you to supper" actually came from a Spongebob episode where two tough guys were arguing and one asked "Are you calling me a liar?" to which the other replied "I ain't calling you to supper" implying of course that he was. Just wanted to make sure my taunt was taken (by you ) correctly [/sblock]

Eion, Varius:

The crowd laughs, but not necessarily in the nicest tone. The man waves Varius off and returns to simple conversation among his friends.

Keryth, Byntrou:

The warden replies, "Well, it is the best we can do. You know how it is in the world. Just when the good guys develop a way to contain evil, the bad guys find another way around it. Hopefully the measures hold as you say."

[Sblock=OOC Fenris]True. But the DM's wit does not always match the wit of the NPCs! [Or, the other way around, too!] Either way, the man definately focused on the part he understood. Varius told him to sit down rather than chalenge him.[/Sblock]
