[QUOTE="Necropolitan, post: 9030753, member: 6669245"] If this were a comedy the name "Sephek" and description of the man would have come at a time when Zeth had a mouth full of food or drink, causing him to spray it across the table. Instead it came when he was raising his glass to his lips. And he set the glass down to think. Given the choice between betting that Sephek Kaltro had somehow survived his unfortunate tumble into freezing waters and betting that another pirate by that name was operating in these parts the former was by far the safer one. Still, there was no reason to panic. Sephek had no reason to sell out Zeth and no way of doing so without incriminating himself in far worse crimes that he'd be certain to hang for. Instead Zeth would do the sensible thing and go along with this assassination (or 'compensated extrajudicial execution' if one was prone to showing of one's vocabulary and interested in making the act more socially acceptable-sounding). And if it just so happened that Sephek was the murderer (Zeth's mind assembled a possible scenario where Spehek had taken to worshiping a goddess of cold after his near-death and was carrying out what he believed to be her will) then Zeth would see justice done as swiftly as possible. Or if Sephek was innocent of these specific murders then he might be killed defending the real culprit or culprits. What mattered was Zeth retaining the title of "Sole Survivor of the Crew of...-" better not to think of that right now. The plan was simple: Find the suspects, identify the murderer or murderers, then kill them and do whatever it took to ensure he wouldn't get in trouble for it later. Then use the bonding experience of that to convince those with him worth taking to help retrieve the treasure. Zeth would have to think of what to say to ensure he actually got to keep it though, no sense losing most of it. For now Zeth would follow Alma, she seemed like a sensible person. A man falls into freezing water far from shore and turns up later in a group where one of them doesn't sleep and murders people with magical ice as part of worshiping a goddess of cold. The only question to Zeth now was what Sephek had become. The Warlock thinks hard, mentally going through the endless books on magical creatures he'd read as part of his studies. (Arcana or Religion, whichever is appropriate and both have the same bonus. [URL='http://www.coyotecode.net/roll/lookup.php?rollid=279666']1d20+6 = 15+6 = 21[/URL]) If Zeth could think of something he might be able to reveal it to both boost his reputation with his party and these townsfolk and make it far easier to justify cleaning up loose ends. Or just lie and tie Zephek to the murders if necessary. The pirate was a murderer before this after all. [/QUOTE]
