Jariah Taliaferro, Human Female

Jariah shook her head at the offered hand from Fastus, "Sorry, but no thanks. You are too heavy for me carry."

Jakira perked up at the blacksmith's offer, "You can carrrry me. I donna like swamp waterrr on my furrr."

"Sorry, but no thanks. You are too heavy for me carry."

"Eh? No, I meant-" He peered at her angular face. She was... joking?

Yes. Pretty sure.

"Ah, NOW we're talking!" he enthoused when Jakira spoke up. He looked at the river, then the big cat. "We make it across, you owe ME one. Deal?"


[sblock=If so]So about 200 pounds, right? That's in his lifting range, so let's say DC10 to get across without spilling?

The ferryman: 1D20+3 = [8]+3 = 11


"Keep still, alright?"

Fastus, huge black panther across his shoulders, nearly, spectacularly, spilled about halfway through when foot met an unexpected branch on its way down, but somehow managed to BARELY right himself and make it across safe and sound.

"Aha! Dry as tinder!" He leaned on his knees to take a quick breather. "Phew! You're a lot heavier than missus Lindorn's cat, you know that?" he said, breathing heavy.[/sblock]

Jariah Taliaferro, Human Female

“Surrre.”

Jariah said nothing, her expression blank as the feline eidolon took Fastus up on his deal to be carried. She had mentally cautioned Jakira about not clawing the man they struggled to keep the cat perked across the shoulders. It was hard to keep still with the man struggling and more than once the feline hissed as he thought he was going to be dumped into the swamp.

Finally it was over. It had not been a pleasant experience for Jakira. “At least I'm drrry,” he grumbled.

Jariah smiled at Fastus as she interpreted, “He says thank you.”

The young man straightened from his breather: "Well you're welcome then. There's this song where Sir Galifrax's horses have magic shoes, right?" he told the panther as they hurried after the others. "Walked right ON TOP of the boiling lake surrounding Dread Keep! Maybe you should look into that?"

At least HE seemed pretty pleased by the experience.

AND the PRIZE: "Panther ride..." he whispered to both Sachiko and Elli once he got back in line, grinning wide.

How JEALOUS were they?

 

[Guest 11456]

As the group moves through the swamp Jariah remembers that for the past 3 years, fishermen and farmers have told stories of a pale monster with legs that bend like a dog’s and that hunts along the shores of the Soggy River. Sightings of the so-called “Soggy River Monster” are most common near Brinestump Marsh, causing most to believe the creature dwells somewhere in the swamp. The creature has been blamed for at least five disappearances over the past year, although Sandpoint’s militia suspects these disappearances are, in fact, simply bored sons and daughters running away from home to seek an exciting life in Magnimar.

As you look for any sign of the creature, Elsbeth points out the artificial construction of a mound crafted out of fallen logs, branches, and mud. Jakira is the first to note the large pile of animal bones heaped among the undergrowth to the south side of the mound, near the mound’s entrance.

Jariah Taliaferro, Human Female

Jariah relayed the information Jakira passed along over their mental communication link. “There are bones on the south side, near an entrance. I imagine that is because this was a lair of sorts and the creature used it as a home.”

“Who is going to brave being first to enter?” she asked while looking from Fastus to Sachiko, expecting them two to just charge in with the mere suggestion and not wait.

The young blacksmith, already moving towards the pile of bones, froze in his tracks. "Really?" he eagerly inquired of Suldrel and Wireth. "Can I?"

He drew his mace just in case...

OOC: If he can go first, he'll blow fire on his mace until it glows red/white-hot (casting Light) and poke it into the opening before stepping in himself. If not, he'll do the same for whoever goes in if they want.

He bumped Elli on his way in and grinned: "Good eye."

 

[Shayuri]

Sachiko crowded in behind Fastus...she'd probably have tried to get ahead of him if the burly blacksmith gave her room.

"Fine, fine," she complained, "Just hurry up!"

 

[Guest 11456]

A narrow opening along the southern side of the 10-foot diameter mound allows entrance into its cramped, dripping interior. The walls of the place are decorated with nearly two dozen articles of shredded and bloodstained clothing, from small clothes to jackets and even a pair of leather arm guards which are strangely intact. It also contains a filthy bed of mud and reeds and brown grass, as well as a strange mound of what looks like a stack of nearly a dozen muddy spheres.

Jariah Taliaferro, Human Female

Jariah remained outside as Jakira followed after Fastus to see what was inside. Through his mental link with his mistress he relayed what he saw.

Seeing the strange interior he echoed Jariah's question, “The monsterrr looked ta live like a perrrson, huh?”

Jariah told the others that remained outside what Jakira told her he had seen.
