Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

[Friadoc]

"Now that was unusual," says Kael as he looks toward the cleric. "Do scarecrows ward off the undead?"

OOC

Now, Hewligan, you mean esophagus, right, not a sarcophagus coming from the sheep?

Either is a gruesome visage, but the later would do so freaky and odd.

 

[Rhun]

"Maybe they are scareghouls," whispers Danth with a shrug. "Something is surely not right. We are outnumbered here, though there is nothing new with that. If we are going into battle, perhaps I should ask Sarenae to aid us."

"I bet the ones on the poles aren't fully changed yet... like that Grayst guy. Tied up they may not be much of a threat."

"If we take out the two walking around before they can raise a ruckus we might be in business. We probably ought to burn the whole damn farmstead to the ground."

"Ain't nothin' alive here."

Oh very deary me! I am a silly boy. esophagus, not sarcophagus, although that would be kind of creepy. Good catch, and apologies for my stupidity.

No worries, everyone makes a type, this one just happened to be a cool, odd, and eerie one, all rolled up together.

"Ain't nothin' alive here."

"Yeah, along with any clues as to who is behind this or why they want you to join the pack" says Jovik.

"But, yeah let's take out the loose ones, then Danth can see if there is any hope for the tied up ones and at the least put them out of their agony." suggests Jovik.

 

[Rhun]

Danth nods to Jovik, and then begins praying to Sarenae for her blessing. The prayer lasts only a few seconds, and then the cleric nods to his companions and grasps the hilt of his blade. "Let us end this darkness."

"Heh," Jokad snorts. "It's obvious why they want me to join their pack.... I'm the toughest son-of-a-bitch west of the Storval Stair."

He playfully shoulders the smaller rogue for emphasis.

More seriously he says, "That's a lot of open ground to charge. Should we try arrows and spells and hope to take them out at range?"


OOC: reply would have come before Danth casting his spell, if that is alright by you, hewligan.

 

[hewligan]

OOC: I am happy for whatever course of action. You can charge forward, but will not have any chance of surprise round. You could move forward within range and then get off at least one ranged attack as they notice you and move towards you. Alternatively, you could try and pick them off from where you are (quite extreme range). Let me know, and then roll for actions, because either way you are going to be in combat.

 

[frostrune]

OOC: I have another idea but it is a bit risky for Mal. Have him casually wander out from where we are and trot in toward the farmhouse. When the ghouls actually see him he should start to whine and back off. When/if the come for him he sprints back toward us and an awaiting ambush.

Get the hopefully dimwitted creatures away from where they can raise an alarm and within closer range for an easier kill. This one is up to Kael though. Don't know how he feels about using Mal as bait.
