Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Endur]

The black cat looks at Lenya, then it starts licking its left front paw.

Belaver thinks the cat is still magical.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

Hmm... close enough... or not? Lenya thinks. Maybe I need to use more simple words.

“Come here, Kitty.”

 

[Pyrex]

Raner Bluestone, Ftr 3, 16/32hp

Drawing his rapier out of Spugnoir, Chat says, ”I told you that going to the Moathouse was a damn fool adventure that would result in someone’s death.”

"I'm thinkin' the damn fool 'round here'd be yerself, traitor." Not taking the time to find out if Chat is one of the cultists or just an overconfident thief Raner brings his axe to bear.

Chat falls dead of many wounds.

"Why would he do such a thing? E'en if he got past us how did he figure on getting past the dragon?"

“What do we do with all these items now? Did Spugnoir have family back in Hommlet? I suppose, we'll give them what was his, although, it would be foolish not to use these items until then. Chat's stuff is another matter, of course. So, how do we proceed with that?”

"Aye, we should be bringin Spugnoir's effects back to his daughter in Hommlet; he's always dealt with us fairly and deserves no less. As for the thief, his goods are ours by right of combat.

 

[Endur]

The cat looks up at Lenya with big green eyes. She thumps her tail three times, once to the left, once to the right, and once to the left. Then she rubs her head up against Belaver and starts purring again.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

“Alright, I guess it was worth a try,” says Lenya before looking for something to eat for the cat. Maybe Spugnoir or Chat have some rations left.

 

[Endur]

Spugnoir did indeed have a canteen full of milk and some dried meats in small pieces, perhaps intended for a cat.

Chat's backpack was full of food, far more food than you thought he was carrying. Lots of freshly baked bread and perishable meats. Cheeses and fruits. More food than one person could eat before it spoiled. Perhaps he intended to share a meal with someone, although he never opened his backpack in your presence.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

"Chat appears to have been in league with someone in this complex. However, since he didn't help the cultists, it may not have been them, which would mean that there's another power group in here as well, which also wants us dead. I really, really do not like this. Perhaps if we can take one of the cultists alive, we can get some answers."

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

“Yes, it certainly looks like it. At least we have more food now.”

Speaking about food, Lenya puts down a small amount of the food for the cat, then proceeds to pack everything up.

 

[Xael]

"I wouldn't really consider any food Chat was carrying to be safe to eat before we check that it's not poisonous.", Lylamwyn comments.

"We can try to take one of the cultists alive, should we get in a position where we're not fighting for our lives. I'm not just sure a position like that will turn up now that they know we're here."

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

“Oh, you think? Well, now that you say so... it would probably fit. Hmm... can we check that somehow? I don't think I know enough about poison to do so.”
