Darksun Killer In Ravenloft PT I

[dead_radish]

Tallask peers over the wall as well, seeing the Half-Giant do so. He quickly spies the dead body, and his elven survival instincts kick in.

He steps back from the wall, and looks around to see if 1. Anyone is coming to investigate and 2. Anyone saw them notice the body. He hisses beneath his breath to the Half-giant "Come away from the wall!"

 

[Jarval]

Odten watches the innkeeper fawning over Jayde in obvious (well, obvious to anyone with an understanding of Pterran body language) amusement. This amusement is only increased by Socrates' discomfort at the human woman's new admirer.

DARKSUN IN RAVENLOFT
SEGMENT 109

Argent the Mul moves closer to the prone body. You see no breathing but the eyes flutter... you can hear the breathe seep out saying something like...rehurn of...hat hing. (sounds as spelled Silverchair) He is dead. 13 Gold and 2o odd silvers lay on the ground by the emptied pouch. The man looks to be a merchant or at least from outside of the city. A single but extremely effective stab wound can be seen under his arm by the upper ribs. A heart shot.

Andus is uncertain but suspects the man has died by foul play. If he were to try to climb over the wall it would collapse easily. Tallask sees no one else. It was just Andus' luck to be standing close enougfh to hear the attack.

Inside
The young noble continues to try to impress the beautiful Jayde thinking she will swoon in his rich arms. He ignores the schalor as being perhaps her aid. The half-giant is yours also? (before you can answer-) then please, allow me- He snaps his fingers while never looking away from her. The men grab a table and some chairs and bring them outside onto the porch. They ignore the fact that Andus is lost in thoughts and looking over the fense then back at Tallask whom urges him to move away until he sees the workers come.

 

[dead_radish]

Tallask shakes his head, glad that no one is around. He isn't sure of much, but he knows that being far away from a murder scene is always in his best interests. Once again, he seems poised to just break out into a run, and keep going, but there's no guarentee that he'll find a desert to shelter him here, so he looks about and quickly steps back into the tavern doorway.

 

[Velmont]

"Dead!"

Adament climb back the wall and go back near Socrate. He have left all as it were and doesn't seem trouble about the event.

 

[silvertable81]

Jayde is amused by the lad's adoration, much like the ones back home, She'll allow him to fawn as long as it suits her purpose. Noticing Socrates' obvious discomfort, and Odten's disguised mirth, she reassures Socrates that she can get what she needs from the boy.

OOC: Andus, could you please reassure me that when you post in yellow that your character is speaking aloud?

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Socrates' expression turns from frustration to amusment as he gets the table outside which is what he wanted, and he realises his companions have misinturpreted his annoyance at being disrespected by the boy as jealousy over the boy fawning over Jayde. "Well, now that we have the table. I'm going outside to be with my erstwhile body guards." He walks out with out acknowledging the boy.

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Andus, could you please reassure me that when you post in yellow that your character is speaking aloud?

Are you talking to me, seem to as I'm the one who write in color. Anyway, here how I work generally:

Description of action
"Talking", add intonation in normal text
"SHOUTING!"
Thinking
OCC
Dice roll, when player are allowed to roll there dices

So to answer your question, the "Dead!" was spoken loud enough so the half-giant was able to hear it. Maybe, someone on the other side of the wall (with the wall in the path, could have some difficulty to hear, but if someone was listening actively, I think we can tell he have heard without rolling a Listen roll.

Sorry for this OCC interruption, back to our present game

"I do not recognize you. Are you a traveler?" Asks the young man.
His slaves stay nearby still. "If so, where from? Past the Mountain cliffs?"

By the wall-

You turn and see several strong men carry out a table and some chairs. A well-dressed young man is leading Jayde to the table. The others follow behind.


Actions?

The young noble goes on. "I have never been there but I have heard the cliffs rise into the very clouds. The two cities north of us, Yaldoria and Chrome are always testing it's limits. Or did you come the South or West across the great Silt sea where is is said storms rise and calm destroying craft and creature alike. Or are you from the East across the great sand sea? Please- tell me."

Everyone can can hear the young man whom is not bothered by the 1/2 Giant, Mul or her other servants being so close.
