Endur's Return to TOEE part 2

[Endur]

Kerwyn used his wand to turn invisible and sneak off and free the halfling. He uses another charge of invisibility to sneak back with the invisible halfling. He sees the Gnolls, the Hill Giants, and the human guards in the locations he previously saw them. He does not see anyone else moving about the complex.

The red-haired and freckled halfling is very happy to meet the party. She introduces herself,
"I'm the famous singer and musician Olive Rustkettle at your service. I would be honored to compose a song about the mighty heroes that freed me, foremost of whom is the brave Kerwyn who bared the den of the Mighty Demon to free me from torment. And wise Lenya who charmed the Great Slaazh. And powerful Raner who beheaded the terrible demon. And the others in the back of your group."

Lenya believes the wand contains spells from the Evocation school. She believes the slippers contain a transmutation magic of some sort.

 

[Seonaid]

Toriah snickers at Lylamwyn's appearance, but is genuinely happy to have him back. "Good t' see you again," he says cheerfully between laughter.

He begins to trust Slaazh, or at least Lenya's hold on Slaazh.

He frowns at the halfling's speech. "Hey, we di' things too!" he complains.

 

[Endur]

The red-haired and freckled halfling frowns and continues,
"Of course, I can't forget the rest of you. The peerless dwarven wizard Lylamwyn. The great dancing archer Toriah. The warrior Craven who will fight any evil foe. Truly a band of heroes that will be remembered throughout the ages."

 

[Endur]

Slaazh says in giant, "I'm getting hungry again. If you still want to keep the old dwarf, can I eat the new dwarf?

"I prefer fresh meat. The bodies are old and cold."

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

[GIANT] “You know the answer, why do you even ask? I don't get my prefered dishes here either, so it's not only you who has to do without. And while I can tolerate your diet, it's very much unlike my own, and I don't really have to like it. And even if I did, I couldn't help you there. I cannot give you the ones that surrendered, and I surely won't give you any of my companions here!” [/GIANT]

 

[Endur]

The Troll responds to Lenya,

"Slaazh works for food and gold. No fresh food, No Troll. I go home to tribe in mountains.

"No dwarf or humans, huh. How about tiny thief? Flesh already tender from great game D'Gran played with tiny thief. Won't make a full meal, but good snack."

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

[GIANT] “And leave the greatest opportunity behind? Hey, I cannot force you, it's your decision, but if I were you, I would want a piece of the cake, that is behind that bridge...” [/GIANT]

 

[Endur]

Slaazh starts to laugh.

"For a dark priest, you are a tricky witch! Beautiful but tricky. You almost slay me!

"But I too smart. Slaazh is smarter than the average troll!

"On other side of Fire Bridge is Fire Door. Beyond the Fire Door is Red Dragon. Slaazh would be a burned troll if I go to the other side of the bridge.

"Slaazh too smart for you this time."

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

[GIANT] “We can protect you from the fire.” [/GIANT]

“Slaazh just told me, that there is a firedragon beyond some fire door after the fire bridge. I know we have the scroll, but we better protect all of us from the fire.”


OOC: There's Mass Resist Energy in Complete Arcane... that would be useful. Did Belaver already fill all his 3rd level slots? ;-)

 

[Endur]

The Troll looks dubious at Lenya's comments regarding her ability to protect him from dragonfire.
