Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Leif]

The Hippogriff nuzzles Monsignor Talisker affectionately.

 

[Lou]

Raul's lament

"And that is why I choose to fight with my hands when I can. I can't hit the broad side of a dragon with this thing." Raul stares at the masterwork light crossbow with disgust. Raul will move to check on his fellow constables.

 

[Fenris]

Jonas gives a nod of thanks to Moru as he comes back to normal speed. He calls Bruno over as he see that the eye monster is leaving.

"I'll stick to fighting orcs. That wasn't fun."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

SoulFetter

"Just stay out of the water, for the sake of the Gods! Who knows what the heck is in there, just waiting to have us for a snack. Well, maybe more a meal than a snack, but still . . ."

 

[Rhun]

Brae shakes his head and smiles at the rest of the constables. "I hate to say it, but we were outclassed. Where did that thing come from anyway? I've seen many strange things in my life, but never a beholder falling from the sky."

 

[pathfinderq1]

OOC: We really do expect to have some foes that will be more fun for Thea and her particular brand of magic soon.

Like some nice orcs, with Will saves roughly comparable to the mental equivalent of Jello? Please...

Brae shakes his head and smiles at the rest of the constables. "I hate to say it, but we were outclassed. Where did that thing come from anyway? I've seen many strange things in my life, but never a beholder falling from the sky."

"Indeed," Thea said a bit petulantly as she continued to look around- just in case the creature returned. "If anyone has an explanation about where that thing came from- or why it showed up, I'd love to hear it. And I suppose we ought to see about tracking down that ranger fellow, who seems to have fled for the hills..."

 

[jkason]

Moru Sen, human conjurer

"Indeed," Thea said a bit petulantly as she continued to look around- just in case the creature returned. "If anyone has an explanation about where that thing came from- or why it showed up, I'd love to hear it. And I suppose we ought to see about tracking down that ranger fellow, who seems to have fled for the hills..."

The cloud of noxious gas begins to dissapate as the constables consider their surprise opponent. Moru turns to his mentor.

"Master Berfuble, I could be wrong, but I could have sworn that aberration knew you personally?"

 

[Leif]

Haswan Berfubble

"Yes, Moru my lad, he was after me. I am sorry that so many others were endangered by him. You have all now met Padernic Arles, one of the most evil, malignant creatures ever to breathe this sweet air. Arles has had it in for me for a good, long time now, even before I assumed my Professorial duties. I humbly apologize to you all, especially to you, Carolton, and I thank you all for your assistance in my time of great need. But, in the 'plus' column, there is a bounty posted by the LCA on Beholders, and it applies not only to those who defeat one of the aberrations, but it extends even to those who survive an encounter with one! Moru, you can expect your renown in the guild to increase considerably because of this."

Carolton Drueglefish has now made his way slowly back to the group, looking considerably the worse for wear.

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion

Alarion sheathes his blade before addressing Brae. "That monster was indeed vile and powerful, good priest. But our survival, in large part, was due to your actions both in attack and support. Let me again state, now that we have fought side by side, how glad I am to have you join our squadron... " His speech trails off as he notices the sleeping former soldier. "Methinks someone should awaken Darius..."
