Dragonslayers: After the second dragon

Grimhild Uggluck

Grim is just waking up to perform his daily workout/meditation when all of the commotion happens. Startled, he watches as the events unfold and listens.

hmmm he thinks to himself, what does inspittle mean? Dun sound good whatever it is.. They's both could be right, and they's both cuud be lying. Wait.. why Lalreth talking about us and hostile tribes..? Best to stay quiet and let them figure things out.. I'll just be ready to help if they's start fightin..

Grim will take a few steps back, and look around for Makla to ask her what she thinks of all of this, or if he can't find Makla, one of the crew members that he has a friendly relationship with.

Dear friends I have no proof but my word, the captain asked If I would help make sure you all got off the boat as quickly as possible, so that we could be on our way out of the dragons territory. We looked at the maps the dragon probably claims the whole southern portion of the island as his Own. If you do not wish to travel with me then I will disembark at Onuthod and find an alternate means to reach my destination.

I was not plannen anything like that, This bastard told me to have the crew swing closer to the island. He’s had me under his spell from the get go, I never wouda sailed my ship this far into the north islands if I hada choice. There are no friendly coasts this far north, it all be under the dragons shadows. As for proof do any of you have magic that can detect lies or discover enchantments?

I won’t sail with him for another 3 days. We would all be safer with him dead or at least off the ship. I want no more of his enchantments and hunting dragons.
He looks around at you for support.

A few crew members gather, but Makla sends them off to work - The crew and I will sail in whatever direction you command captain, but we don’t want to fight passengers.

"I think I've one that might suit, I guess, telling lie from truth isn't really the main purpouse, its kinda what the Captain is saying Kel'leth did already." the thief offers hesitantly. "It might not work on someone magical though. We could cast it on the captain though, and that would tell us what we need to know. It makes someone very, very friendly, but it doesn't control people."
 

"I will have no such spell cast, but thank you all the same Kylala." Hond pulls Grim away from the others and speaks quietly.
To Grim:
[Sblock]"As I understand it you pray for spells, if you could ask for any spell that would work in this situation right now I would be most thankful. I will stand watch while you pray and try to keep the situation in hand, frankly I'm not sure I trust any of the others who have the power to weild spells at the moment"[/Sblock]
 

"Just as well, I don't actually know what i'm doing really, never actually used that one before..." she says shrugging pleasantly. "I wonder if it would even work? Fah, now you have me all curious." she adds light heartedly. Kylala shrugs and takes a coin from her pocket and starts it spinning through her nimble fingers, awaiting what would be decided.

Grim watches the goings-on and doesn't like what he sees. When Hond pulls him close and speaks to him in private, Grim thinks for a second and responds, making sure to keep his voice down so only Hond can hear him:

[sblock] "Nuu, 'ahm afraid I don't have a spell like that. Grishnaak does not yet grant me tha' favor to cast the spell that can tell me if someone is lying or not. I had thought about this and was going tuu ask for some other types of spells that 'ah have though. I can detect if the captain is magical, perhaps it could tell us if he is under some type of enchan'munt. I can detect if Kel'leth is of an evil nature.. doon't entirely mean it'd be true whut the captain's saying, but could be a reason why Kel'leth wuud do it. As an extreme measure, I can attempt to dispel any magics on the captain if he really *is* under some kind uf enhan'munt. Really, I dun like this whole deal. I wants ta get off the ship fast as possible. Whuut about yuu? 'ah mean the captain was nice and all bringing us this far, but things are getting too wierd now. Maybe Kel'leth is trying to control him, and maybe the captain is just scarred for his ship about the dragon..." [/sblock]
 

Shaking his head in slight confusion, "would someone really tell me what's going on? Or, I'm really just going to shoot the both of them and be done with it," Aphram remarks as he emerges, bow knocked.
 


Time passes and the argument draws no closer to a conclusion – the Priests recover their spells – and one or more detect magics reveal that Kel’leth has a divination aura, but that no one else on deck has any current magical auras or active spells. However that gives no definite answer to the argument.
OCC: If anyone had a detect magic before resting, I will need to know who, and what your spellcraft is.
Grim is overheard muttering about his desire to leave the ship. Meanwhile the ship continues sailing northward.

After the simple magical tests have been concluded – Kel’leth brings up another problem.
Well if we are all going to continue to Onuthod then it is no longer possible for me to slumber in the captains adjoining chartroom. He would no doubted be tempted to take advantage of my vulnerable condition. Nor do I care for the option of sleeping unprotected on the deck or in the hold among the captains many loyal adherents.

You can sleep with the fishes. mutters the captain.

Perhaps a chaperone for each of us would suffice?

Kel’leth seems to be looking at Kylea and Lareth, while the captain considers Velsouvous, and Hond. Both avoid looking at Aphram or Grim as both are considered to be too unpredictable.
