Dawnforge: Heroes of Legend (IC Thread)

[Old Fezziwig]

The bard raises an eyebrow. I'm not sure that the maternal tongue-lashing will work on him, but thanks for that, Mother Anja. At least I'll have a nice tale to tell folks later on in life. "And, then, she scolded the lizard man severely."

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

* Having crossed the Lizardman earlier, when he was in a decent mood, Kyna keeps her mouth shut and eyes on the island. Her ears however catch all that passes between those around her. *

 

[Sephiroth no Miko]

Sssakkariah stares at the diminutive halfling woman in fascination (having missed the last time Mother Anja scolded Sasskasa), then her mouth spreads into an inadvertent smile, which she covers with her hand. It fades quickly though.

Note to self: do not let psycho lizardman question prisoners in the future. At least not any prisoners we intend to keep.

Since going back to sleep was a poor prospect and knowing that combat may be a distinct possibility in the near future again, she sits down the deck and meditates (take 20 on her Concentration check) to become psionically focused before they make landfall.

 

[DarkMaster]

Karl knowing how the lizardman can becomes, simply shut up not really caring that much about what the stupid little creature has to say. Karl heads towards the front of the boat Othu on his shoulder and look front hopping to see something that could change the mood of the other passengers of the boat.

 

[Ashy]

Sasskasa, tasting blood and battle, utterly ignores Anja's meaningless words and the bard's melodius tune. He awaits the reaction of the amphibian with baited breath, however...

 

[Guest 11456]

The creature looks up at Sasskasa and speaks in draconic.

Sasskasa, Karl, & Sssakkariah:

Spoiler

The creature's voice wavers a bit as if it was afraid of something. "You trespass, we attack. Must protect tribal waters?"

 

[Sephiroth no Miko]

Sssakkariah opens one eye in the midst of her meditation. "Sssee? There'sss nothing elssse." she hisses in Common irritably. "If you are going to kill it, at leassst grant it a quick, clean death, inssstead of twisssting your knife in its gutsss like that for merely defending itsss territory! It hasss told usss what we want to know. There'sss no need to torture it!" Despite her anger at Sasskasa, she tries to keep her temper for now, figuring it would probably just provoke the lizardman more if she lost it. Instead, she tries to appeal to his sense of decency (or at least, she hopes he has one)-- a certain amount of bloodlust was tolerable in her eyes, but sadism was not.

 

[DarkMaster]

Karl, still ignoring the other two discussion looks around trying to see anything of relevance. Othu sitting on his shoulder is doing the same.

 

[Ashy]

Sasskasa hisses back to the creature in Draconic, "Foolish worm...you sssshould know by now that frogs are little more than food for the lizardsssss!" The lizardman smiles triumphantly and then rips out the amphibian's throat with his teeth, gobbling down the gobbet of bloody flesh and cartliage with lust and zeal...

 

[DarkMaster]

Karl disgusted by the lizard behavior pretends that he didn't see anything and continue his observation, calming down Othu, visibely horrified by the lizard attitude, with his hand.
