Feint Whispers Chapter #3: Festival of Falling

[jasamcarl]

As Bhartus moves to engulf him with Jericho, Mourn attempts a limited retreat out of the cave. As he does so, Bhartus makes an attempt to halt the elf with his mace; despite a very skillful strike and the fact that he is flanked, Mourn is quick enough to barely evade the dwarf's attack. Yet such mobility does not save him from the D'orite's blade, which slashes across his chest, bringing Mourn down in a splash of strangley black blood.

Out of Initiative.

Even stranger is the sudden changes in the slain ranger's features, from distinctly elven to the blonde hair and chisled jaw of Darven Evenwood, who is suppossed to have been locked away in the magistrate's office having been accussed to the murder of Brachus Aporos. Finally, even the northern features disolve into blank gray skin, the head becoming larger, eyes exceptionally large and black.

Tarowyn: upon inspection you will recognize this creature as a changeling or doppelganger, a nefarious race of tricksters and mercenaries from your original home in the southern empire.

The docile gang of creatures is pressed tightly in the back wimpering.

Bhartus and Norri. voices from within your head scream, "Masters want us back!! Finders they sent!!!"

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho laughs coldly looking down at the kill. resting on his blade.

"When you get to hell, thing, tell them Jericho sent yah, they know me down there," he chuckles.

 

[Krug]

"Ah... thus the puzzle becomes clear," says Bhartus, sheating his mace.

Bhartus comminucates with the beasts. So who are the masters?

 

[jasamcarl]

Bhartus: "Masters are masters! Masters are masters! [repeat]"

 

[Krug]

Bhartus: So where are they? What do they look like? Can you send me a mental picture?

 

[jasamcarl]

The morlocks hunch down, cover their ears and roar.

Bhartus and Norri: Blinding light appears in your mind's eye along with a loud screech. As the light and noise fade black silohettes, like caped humans appear. You do not recognize the images. The sensations remit, though you are now stricken with quite the headache.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus groans and says, "I'm sorry I asked."

He sends another mindthought: So you seek to return to your home? Or escape from the master?

He asks his companions, "How shall we aid them?"

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho thinks for a moment before replying to Bhartus, "We take these things from the cave and bring them to the Sherrif, perhaps? The sherrif seems like a good man to me, and he would know the right thing to do for these men."

Jericho walks over and pats Whitney on the bum, "Besides I am getting hungry," he leers.

Whitney jumps and Mist hisses loudly at him, as she walks away fuming. Loud one still too bold and no gifts for momma! The cat fumes at the 'Loud One's boldness.

Jericho laughs, "Well perhaps I can settle for food then, but I think taking these creatures to the sherrif, may be our best option, do you think you could sway them?"
