Athelstan

OOC:

Matt's been really busy working. I sent him the results of the PER roll via e-mail, but he must not have had time to respond. I'm going to presume to post for Athelstan, with apologies to Mr. Matt if I post anything he didn't want known.

IC:

As Skáth makes his way around the party, Athelstan straightens from his 'harvest' of ingredients and looks warily around the camp.

"Didn't we kill five of these creatures? I could swear that was my count as we were attacked. Yet now I see six lying on the ground."

Sure enough, when the rest of the party (those not out scouting, anyway) looks around you see another bug man lying on his stomach, an arrow jutting from his thoracic cavity clearly the cause of death. He would have been just on the fringes of the battle when he bought it.
 


A Riddle

Skáth cannot really tell if it's one of Deasaigh's arrows - it's long enough to be one of his.

However, on returning to the party, Deasaigh denies shooting more than one of the bugs.

He goes on: "This arrow is not one of mine - it's very well made, but if you look closely you can see . . ." He points out various subtle differences between the recently discovered arrow and those he makes, most of which are not apparant to Skáth even on close examination.

The long and short of it is, he didn't kill the sixth bug.
 

Cerallos

"The question now is, to state the obvious, who helped us and why?"
Cerallos examines the fall of the creature and tries to determine a possible direction that the arrow was fired from.

3d6-> [3,2,1] = (6)
 

A Riddle

Assuming the creature fell straight forward when struck in the back, and assuming it did not get moved around in the ensuing fight, the arrow struck from the South - the direction from which the ambushing bugs originally approached.
 

Cerallos

"If these were running from the direction this one was shot, is it possible that these things were running FROM someone and we were in their way? Doesn't seem likely, but this one was picked off from behind. Master Longbow, can you re-use that arrow?"
Very interesting indeed...
 

Deasaigh

Deasaigh shoots Cerallos a very puzzled look, and explains, "It's a very good arrow, but it's not my arrow. I could not trust it, since I didn't make it with my own hands." His tone says he might need to explain next that stones are hard or water is wet.
 

Cerallos

"Wait, are you giving me a puzzled look, I can't tell?" :p Cerallos gives a half smile.
"Good point Master Longbow, although this arrow seemed to work the first time! I'm only kidding my friend. So any suggestions on our next move?"
