Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter Two

[Nonlethal Force]

Byntrou, Keryth:

The acolyte nods. "Pater Braachus is not in the temple today, but I do believe that Pater Dhorgrad is in. Please, come in and wait while I go and check."

The acolyte leaves and returns in a matter of minutes. Pater Dhorgrad is in town, walking slowly down the hall. When he sees Keryth, Byntrou, and the others he holds out his hands with a smile. "Friends of Heironeous! You are alive and have returned in only a matter of weeks! Tell me, what news do you have from the north?"

 

[unleashed]

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Both good and bad, I’m afraid. The priests, sadly, have been called to Heironeous’ side, due to the greed of a single man, but we did manage to capture and deposit him in the Dullstown jail, where he awaits trial. I hope that meets with you expectations. We also informed your brethren in Hemlock of events, so they can keep an eye on things,” Keryth replies, as he takes the remaining potions and scrolls from his pack as he prepares to return them to Dhorgrad.

 

[Fenris]

Varius calls out to Eion as he runs out the door:
"Excellent shot my friend, let's finish these ruffians. I am sure your eagle eye can take a few more shots as they flee."

as Varius charges out the door, he looks around for Bellana, should he spot her he will call out "Bellana, all is safe, come assist me with your husband"

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Keryth, Byntrou:

Pater Dhorgrad is suddenly overcome with a sorrowful expression. "It is tough to accept when Heironeous calls us home before we think it our time. Yet, if they died in his service they have begun their journey to a better existance."

He looks unaware of Keryth's intentions to return the stuff.

Varius, Eion:

Varius is quite able to burst out the door and see that neither of the scoundrels are chasing after Bellana. When Bellana hears Varius' voice she stops and turns to watch the scoundrels fleeing for a moment before running back to Varius' side. Shouting loud enough for Eion and Varius to bother hear she yells, "Have you checked on him? Is he alive?"

Varius, Eion:

Varius is quite able to burst out the door and see that neither of the scoundrels are chasing after Bellana. When Bellana hears Varius' voice she stops and turns to watch the scoundrels fleeing for a moment before running back to Varius' side. Shouting loud enough for Eion and Varius to bother hear she yells, "Have you checked on him? Is he alive?"

"Eion, take a shot if you can."


Ushering Bellana back inside the barn Varius says:
"I haven't checked yet, I wanted to make sure the ruffians weren't making off with you first" says Varius kneeling down beside the man.

"I do not have much skill at healing, only the opposite" replies Varius with a nod of his head towards the two two parts of the lead bandit "But this should help" he says as he pulls out a small vial with a clear blue liquid in it and raises the mand head forward and carefully pours it into the man's mouth.

[sblock=OOC] Using a Potion of Cure Light Wounds [/sblock]

 

[Rino]

Eion takes a arrow from his quiver and goes with one fluid movement to his bow and pulls the arrow back. he takes a short aim and releases.

then he readies the second arrow if needed

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Eion, Varius:

Eion is in good position (once leaving the barn, of course) to fire another arrow. His arrow lands (I'm assuming he's taking aim on the already wounded one?) in the wounded opponent who is retreating and drops him instantly in spite of already being over 200 feet away. The third opponent continues to flee and by this point has put over 300 feet between himself and the barn.

Varius is able to stabalize Bellana's husband and his eyes open slightly, as if strained by the light.

 

[Fenris]

"There, with a little rest, this lucky fellow will be all better. But you two ought to be be more careful the kind of company you keep. I mean, letting a rascal like me into your barn! Image what could have happened." says Varius with a grin as he picks up Bellana's husband.

"Now, let's get him to bed to rest a bit more"

Byntrou, roguishly sorcerous bous barbarian

Pater Dhorgrad is suddenly overcome with a sorrowful expression. "It is tough to accept when Heironeous calls us home before we think it our time. Yet, if they died in his service they have begun their journey to a better existance."

He looks unaware of Keryth's intentions to return the stuff.

Byntrou, realizing his more altruistic companion's intentions, tries to catch his eye and shake his head. We already lost Bahruul, might as well make some extra profit, yes? he thinks. Whether or not he succeeds in suggesting Keryth keep hold of their items unless asked for, Byn answers the Pater.

"Indeed. They died protecting a colony of beings unlike any I'd met before. Surely their sacrifice puts Heironeous in a good light with these new people."

[sblock=OOC]I'm embarrassed to say that I can't remember if we were meant to be paid after this mission or if we were paid ahead of time. I skimmed the front of the thread, but that seems to start with the potions, and I don't seem to have the previous chapter still in my subscribed threads. [/sblock]

Eion call out to Varius he big guy, what are we going to do next? keep those 2 company pointing at Bellana and her husband or are going to take a look where the guys with the arrows in their chest are comming from? if we need to keep the trail fresh then we need to go as soon as we can
