Eyes Of The Lich Queen

[Mista Collins]

Wishing he weren't the one to put a rain on everyone's parade, Rogan does anyway. "I really don't think the lizardfolk meant more are coming for us. He was telling us that the others are being warned. I heard multiple voices before he approached," Rogan says indicating the tied up blackscale. "There were at least two. If this one doesn't return, they will know something happened. If he does return, he will tell them we are out here. Either way, we have lost the element of surprise."

Aern nods with Rogans words. "He is correct. I heard two voices" Though I didn't know what they were saying. "The need to speak Draconic has never arisen before. Though I am feeling an itch to learn it now." Aern looks at the larger Lizardfolk and began to pray, changing his visage once again. "I believe that if I instead lay in the road and play bait this time it would be more beneficial than my inability to speak the language to back up this body."

"I believe that if I instead lay in the road and play bait this time it would be more beneficial than my inability to speak the language to back up this body."

"If we want to move this party further up, you could stumble as though wounded," Donovan suggests. "Perhaps if we slopped some of this spare lizardfolk blood on your throat? If indeed this one was meant to report back, we might still have a slim chance of surprise if he comes back unable to speak and leads them where we want. Whatever we decide, I suggest we hurry."

 

[DEFCON 1]

As Jina binds the blackscale lizardfolk up, he smirks and hisses out another threat in draconic (dispite Khalia's warning that he probably shouldn't). "You better hope you have more fleshies on the way... because you're outnumbered easily. And once Ruchnar returns but I don't appear, the whole temple will go on alert. And then you'll learn what the descendants of Rhashaak do to those who do not honor them."

The gag is then put into his mouth to shut him up. When Aern looks at him and thinks about changing his looks to match, he realizes that the blackscale is probably at least nine feet tall. At most, Aern's shape change could get him to maybe six and a half if he was lucky. There is no way he could effectively play this blackscale and make it seem believeable.

"They are coming back here it seems. A whole tribe can means more than fifty and we are only 7. That means if they all come, we will be over 5 to 1 against us.

For now, our advantage is they don't know what they hit them yet. As long as they don't know what threat is against them, they might do mistake we can use against them.

For now, we have to choose, do we set a trap against Ruchnar and the supports that is ocming or do we fall back and thinks about the new situation?" asks Jango

 

[Unkabear]

Aern shakes his head. "The next group that comes must be dropped. To a Lizard. Or else we may be faced with overwelming numbers."

Donovan looks back where the blackscale came from. "What do we suppose they'd do if our Poison Dusk friend came down the trail instead of this lug? We could try the 'injured throat' ruse for an ambush that way, as well, no?"

 

[stonegod]

"Injured throat would work, but we need to get moving up the path now if we are doing this." Ari looks expectant of trouble.

 

[Mista Collins]

"Yes, let's get moving." Rogan says as the others prepare. "I still don't think they will send many out here to find us. My thoughts are they will send none at all. They already sent one party to check on the situation and when Ruchnar returns the temple to report without the one we have captured they are going to go on alert."

"It would be foolish for them to send lessen their guard on the temple to check out the threat. For all they know, we could have forty plus out here. They will stay close to their temple and their camps and stay on alert for an attack."

 

[Velmont]

"I think they might send a group here. You've listen about what he told when he approach. i think they think they have to do with the lizardfolk we have seen earlier. I doubt they are expecting us. After all, they had a false alarm signal, they will be cautious, not on the path of war... yet."
