Feint Whispers Chapter #3: Festival of Falling

[Krug]

Bhartus explains what he say to the others.

"Well, perhaps it would be better if we recharged. Whatever saw us probably notified his tribe and at least if we go in later, they might be less on their guard," says the dwarf. He reminds them that he has used most of his spells for the day.

Norri looks at the creature in amazement.

"Can you speak common there big fellow?" he asks politely, then he calls back to the others, "I don't think these things are hostile! These poor wretches look like they've been kept captive here!"

"Get up, get up. You've no reason to be scared or nuthin now, we're here to help," he says quietly to the hairy beast.

Norri looks at the creature in amazement.

"Can you speak common there big fellow?" he asks politely, then he calls back to the others, "I don't think these things are hostile! These poor wretches look like they've been kept captive here!"

"Get up, get up. You've no reason to be scared or nuthin now, we're here to help," he says quietly to the hairy beast.

Jericho nods to Bhartus, "Aye but the little man is still in their, and it sounds like he found something."

Jericho walks inside the cave, stepping warily, nearly stepping on the halfling, "Where is ye little man?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

"About 3 foot down," Norri replies, "These critters here are freakin out, they think we're here to boss them around or sumthin."

 

[jasamcarl]

Everyone in the party hears a feint clicking in the backs of their heads.

Norri: the creature looks up at you. You hear a desperate voice in your head, "You not want take us back? They want take us back!"

 

[Festy_Dog]

"I assume the place they take you back to is bad, right? Calm down, we're the good guys, we want to help. Is there a leader amoung you? Tell us how we can help you," he says to the critter, he turns to the others, "I'm not sure what we've come across but these creatures are in a bad way, m'lords. You know that kinda crazy prisoner mentality, the whole scaredness deal? They communicate through like directly speaking between minds or something."

 

[Krug]

Bhartus steps up and says "We come in peace." Hmm... I wonder where that phrase came from.

"Who are the ogres? The big men we just killed? Who sent them?"

Bhartus tries to communicate with the creatures by sending a mind thought.

 

[jasamcarl]

Bhartus: A voice arises in your head, "The smelly ones attacked us. We make them guard us and get us food. They stupid and easy to make do things."

 

[Tokiwong]

Everyone in the party hears a feint clicking in the backs of their heads.

Norri: the creature looks up at you. You hear a desperate voice in your head, "You not want take us back? They want take us back!"

Jericho blinks, "Ack the voices in my head speak to me, urge to... listen."

Jericho listens to the voices, "The noble thing to do is to listen, yes?"

 

[Krug]

Bhartus sends a mindthought. You'll find we're smarter than them. Except the warrior, perhaps.

However, your raids have greatly inconvenienced the humans who own the things you have taken. Perhaps we can compromise? Why did you come here? And what do you call yourselves?
