(IC) Dog Days of Doom!

[Snarf Zagyg]

Caer listens carefully to the words of the innkeeper. Seeing the innkeeper's face and hearing his words, some small kernel of ... empathy ... that lay buried deep within Caer flowers.

You did everything you could Oswald. You saved the living and gave them solace. But soon the living will be hungry, and the dead are always hungry. Let us free your friends from the unholy prison they have been trapped in. We will go in, and you can lock the door behind us. We will call out to you when ... they are free.

To Deidre, Caer continues briefly in Elvish-

Perhaps the two of us could do it alone, but if you wish to ask the others to join us .... it may come better from you.

OOC: Assume Oswald is good with the plan. Obviously, numbers would help if anyone else wants to join in.

 

[Lidgar]

Deirdre nodded at the robed man's words regarding the Beacon. She then heard Caer's voice in her tongue and turned to see him confronting the innkeeper.

Trying to ignore the growing din of the humans, she joined Caer and the innkeeper at the bar where they were speaking in hushed tones. Nodding at Caern, she added, "They are human no more. As hard as it may be, they need to be put down lest they escape and cause even more panic, or worse yet, death. We can take care of it discreetly, but it must be done."

To Caern she added in elvish,

Hold a moment while I try to get the attention of one of the others. Our strength is likely enough, but there is also strength in numbers.

She then turned to try gain the attention of one of one of the other companions.

OOC: Deirdre will try to gain the attention of Sturm, Anson, Benny, or Havok - whoever is closest, signaling for them to come to the bar. Rolled a persuasion check - seemed closest fit for this. Persuasion check : 1D20+3 = [10]+3 = 13

Spoiler: Ooc

@Lidgar easily done. People are arguing and not paying attention to you. Any of the other PCs can notice and come over

 

[Kobold Stew]

Anson sees Deirdre's signal, and asks, "Can I help you? I'm Anson."

OOC: Did we meet outside? If so he's being redundant.

 

[Lidgar]

Deirdre nodded at Anson. In a more hushed tone she added, "There is some unpleasant business in the kitchen that needs to be taken care of. Will you join Caern and I? We need to be discreet about it."

OOC: @Kobold Stew, they met briefly outside during the procession when Deirdre complemented him on his music.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Benny also notices and comes over, Maximilian on his shoulder. What’s happening?

Stratus didn't understand elvish, but he was good at reading body language, and he'd overheard Caer's discussion with the Innkeeper. He said to Caer and Deirdre quietly, so as not to panic the crowd, "Trouble in the kitchen, hey? I can't say that I'm surprised. We'd best take care of it quickly and quietly. I'm with you when you make your move."

 

[Lidgar]

"Yes," answered Deirdre as Stratus approached. "I suggest we move into the kitchen quickly, with you and perhaps that dwarf leading the way, assuming he is with us. Followed by myself and Caer, then the rest. The last one inside shuts the door, and only then do we engage. Agreed?"

Deirdre glanced again at Oswald to see if he objected.

 

[Steve Gorak]

Benny say, I’ll come too, when the door is open I’ll cast a spell so we are hidden.

OOC: ready action to cast silent image - fog to cover the party’s entrance inside the kitchen. The point is for it to cover all party members so they interact with it and see though it.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Stratus stretched, pushing back his chair and nearly striking his arms on the Inn's ceiling. Or so it seemed. He said, "I'm going to go see what the hold up is on my food order!"
