IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part II

[Dichotomy]

The man is clearly terrified and dumbfounded in his drunk, yet quickly sobering, state and can find no words with which to reply. Instead, his body slowly shakes with the sobs that he keep pent up.

Alexis' healing is not quite enough to bring Alendar to consciousness. The elf will need to wait.

Llyr ties up the mage and the scarred man. He then binds the feet of the black haired goon. He then walks over to Alendar holds his hands on the elf's head for a few moments.

Walking over to the pile of belongings, he pockets the gold and examines the potions to see if he can determine their contents. He then walks to the half-breed's bed and begins to fashion a shroud for the dwarf, using any remaining bedclothes to bundle up the magical items and the banded mail. Finally, he opens the spellbook and tears out three written pages at random. "One for each time he didn't listen. Maybe it will teach him to get over such a crutch." He pockets the pages as well.

When Alexis returns he looks at her with raised eyebrows. "Find any inspiration? I don't think we can carry all of this ourselves. When the sun rises, I should be able to help with summoning those that we can still return."

[sblock=OC]CMW x2 on Alendar[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Llyr's two spells are just enough to bring Alendar to this side of consciousness. The elf weakly gets up, surveys the scene, and asks what happened. Once he is briefly told the story, he helps Llyr take care of Boldak. The elf says nothing, but his face is drawn tightly.

As Llyr examines the potions, he can tell that one of those that was on the half-orc is a potion of mage armor, but, alas, he cannot discern what any of the rest are.

When Alexis returns from her prayers she moves wordlessly to Alenders side and heals him more.

"I want you both to know I am inclined to strip Viktor and leave him to the wolves. I can't say that i'm willing to have him with us, or stay with a group he's part of. In any case, he certainly can't be trusted."

"As for their things, take whatever you wish or can carry. They deserve worse and should be pleased to leave here with their lives and the smallest sting of their wrongdoing. Hopefully they can use this as a lesson to redirect their efforts in life. If either of you feel differently, please feel free to speak your minds."

[sblock=oc]Some questions as to whether i can prepare spells? Not sure i guess. If i can, CLW on Alendar, if not... i don't.[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Llyr looks over at the sobbing man in the corner. "He's trying to make his way through this hole of a town just like everybody else. While I don't understand WHY people feel the need to gather in such large, squalid surroundings, I am reluctant to take the one thing he has available to survive. Namely, his weapons and armor. Killing them teaches no lessons.

Which brings us to our comrade here. I'm not going to let him die because things went poorly after you had decided to heal him once. If you have issues with the final outcome of this battle that almost claimed 3 of us you can bring them up with him directly.

As the sun starts to creep up, Llyr goes out to greet it. When he comes back in he heals Viktor until the Paladin is conscious.

 

[Dichotomy]

After the three take care of what they can, Llyr revives Viktor.
[sblock=OOC]It takes two CLWs for 6 hps each.

Status:
Alendar: 15 damage
Alexis: 6 damage
Llyr: 0 damage
Moro: 10 damage
Viktor: 18 damage[/sblock]

Gaining his bearings, Viktor takes a moment to stand up, and sees the liveless body of Boldak on the floor. Shocked, he takes a few steps back and looks over the room. "What's going on? What happened? Do we know where the bodies are?......Nobody was supposed to die. We came to find out about the bodies and stop them. I understand that force was needed, but at the same time, it didn't need to be deadly force."

 

[o3caudata]

Alexis watches wordlessly as Llyr restores Viktor to conciousness, shaking her head slowly. Once awake she begins her tirade.

"You sir, are quite lucky to have made faster friends with this fellow that you have me. I would have left you here to fend for yourself. You stand for some honor and law that you are so willing to sacrifice yourself for, but do you see him."

Walking towards Boldak's lifeless form, her voice escalates. "Do you? You were quick to remain still and be beaten for your own idiocy, but how could you allow him, or any of us, to be slaughtered? I saved your life, because it was right. You would be dead now, if not for me. Boldak would be alive now if you had given that same consideration to your companions. Your conviction you think so highly of killed this man, my friend, who would have killed any one of these men in a moments notice if they had attempted harm on you. You're morals are false and your justice is empty. What could you possibly say for yourself?"

 

[TiCaudata]

"Who said anything about friends? I just see it as pretty ignorant to abandon someone without knowing how they see any certain situation. It's pretty easy to blame him for a death that happened after he was out of the fight. I am actually rather curious about what either one of you thought was going to happen after we broke into a house full of drunken ruffians. I went along with the passive approach until it was clear that it wasn't going to work. We ALL did.

It is really unfortunate that this axe bit as deeply as it did, but I can't see how any one of you is more to blame than the rest. If we were going to break in, we probably should have neutralized everyone immediately. Instead we talked, and now we have to live with hindsight"

"He stood while we fought....."
