Feint Whispers Chapter #4: The Hallowed Hills

[Festy_Dog]

Norri's attention is grabbed by the coins as the others attend to Brother Durham. He keeps his crossbow at the ready as he goes over to investigate the abandoned riches.

"Well, well, well, tis appears someone has left a large sum of money here," he then calls back over his shoulder, "This coin belong to you and ya friends Brother Durham?"

 

[Krug]

"Who tied you up Brother?" says Bhartus. He is a bit suspicious. "What happened here?" He examines the bodies.

 

[jasamcarl]

"Blessed be to Telmor to send me such aid, whether D'orite or not." He looks to Bhartus and begins speaking raggedly, "The orcs. They are Crookedtusks. Their tribe has been raiding the villages around our Monastery for years. The treasure is theirs. They came...to find something....in these caverns... a blood drinker...he was awoken by the earthquake... he ambushed my poor brothers and I...left the orcs to guard the caverns...Simone Delcielus...an old name...." His eyes and head drop to gaze at the floor. He only slowly trys to stand, even after Jericho removed the rope that bound him.

"A blood drinker?" Whitney frowns. "That is not good news, did it kill them?" looks to the others. "I say take the bodies and put them to proper rest before they rise again."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri gets up from inspecting the cash and turns to Durham.

"Thats bad. Very, very bad, but on the plus side are there any orcs alive to worry about their treasure? Maybe it could be shared out amoungst all those who had suffered from orc raids in the past," Norri suggests, obviously distracted by the large sum of money.

 

[Mirth]

A blood-drinker... Tarowyn's head snaps around at the good brother's words. He eyeballs the monk from across the room trying to get a good look at his face.

"How have you survived down here, brother?" the elf calls out to the captive as he also tries to get Bhartus' attention. "The orcs we killed just now barely had scraps to get by on..."

If Bhartus looks at Tarowyn, the elf will try to bring attention to the holy symbol that the dwarven priest wears.

I hope I'm wrong...

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho smirks, "Don't worry about anything Brother Durham, we will get you out of here and to safety, you are in the care of the Fists of Duvik now, and none can stand before us!"

Jericho will help Brother Durham walk...

"Lets go, we got what we came for!"

 

[Krug]

"And how did you survive, Brother?" says Bhartus. He brings out hsi holy symbol and waves it in the air. "Where is the blood drinker? Mordain will dismiss him into the hells!" Bhartus shoves it in Durham's direction.

Jericho pushes Bhartus back... "What has gotten into you, Bhartus, we don't have time for such games... stand back, and allow the Brother passage, has he not suffered enough!?"

 

[jasamcarl]

None of you detect any falsehoods in the brother's story....
