Iconics Adventure

[Naull]

Wary

OOC: I am keeping my eyes open for anymore critters that may come around.

"Yeah, perhaps we should get moving so we don't provide targets for anymore of those things." Motions towards the dead critter that Jozan is examining. Or at least what is left of it.

 

[Tordek]

Aye, let's get going! And where's that piece of paper with the handy lines on it?

 

[Naull]

Naull rummages around in her backpack and pulls out a scroll case. Opening it, she takes out the assembled map.

"Do you mean the map? If so, I have it right here?"

 

[Tordek]

Aye lass, that's what I meant

 

[Alhandra]

"Evil, you say? Ahem. While it does seem rather largish, I'm not sure it quite has that, 'Oh, I'm sooo evil' look about it." He wiggles the leg. "Unnatural, to be sure." Glanging(??) up at Alhandra, he asks, "Just what was it doing before you, ahh, slaughtered it so efficiently, my dear?"

"Hey, nice sleigh there, Santa.

Do you have a present in there for me?"

Alhadra rummages thru the sleigh looking for a certain lithe half-elf druid that was forgotten on the way.

"Anyone seen Vadania?"

She puts her hand on her forehead and looks around.

"As for the spider, _I_ didn't slaughter anything.
I was trying to talk to it, when Tordek and Naull liquified it.

I sensed that _it_ wasn't really evil, but may have been controlled by something that was Evil.

Does that make any sense to anyone?

Can any of you mental-types read it's aura, or the touchy-feely impressions left on the spider to find out anything?"

 

[Naull]

After a pregnant pause, the upstanding citizen of Lawful-Goodness steps out to hail the spider, whispering under her breath "What, you're not gonna stop me?!!
You think I wanna alert this thing that we're here?
I wanna kick it's butt, and you can't believe how restricting it is to have to confirm that something's Evil before kicking its butt.

"Umm, Liquified, yes. But Tordek and I weren't the only ones who wanted to do that, you know. Besides, it was controlled by evil and it was a spider thing. Isn't that good enough?" Throws a sheepish grin Alhandra's way

 

[Alhandra]

The Scourge of Evil clears her throat and gruffly announces (upwards, to noone in particular), "Why, yes, my heart may have yearned to Smite Evil - it's been quite some time since I've been able to exercise that aspect of my nature - yet, it is always important to remember the 'simple'-Paladin's Motto when it comes to dealing with Evil: "Detect First, Smite Second."

*under her breath to Naull* "Geez, Na - are you tryin' ta get me thrown out of the Pearly Gates?!
Ix-nay on the bringing up side comments-ay... I got a rep as a Paragon of Lawful-Goodness to uphold - it's hella hard to do that all the time - oops I said "Hella" - Hope Heironeous didn't hear that."

*raising her voice and coughing for emphasis* "And it's never 'good enough' to simply kill something because it's controlled by evil - what do you think we are, a bunch of Rag-Tag adventurers?
We're the Iconics!!" *Pans back to show party in valley with mountains in background - Alhandra's voice booms out to the heavens and echoes thru the valley like a cheesy movie*

 

[Tordek]

Lets just get goin' ........... Hey Santa, lez gooh!

 

[Krusk]

*Pans back to show party in valley with mountains in background - Alhandra's voice booms out to the heavens and echoes thru the valley like a cheesy movie*

*The camera zooms back in to reveal...*

Krusk sniffling, snuffing and poking about the messy remains of the spider-thing, "Smells funny." He then proceeds to cautiously nibble at the end of one still twitching leg. "Hunh... Tastes like chicken," he concludes, after a moment of deliberation.

 

[Tordek]

*shrug*

Euhhh Krusk lad, mind if ya'd tag along? I do have some decent food if ya really need some... Else we'll just go kill some deer or other animal for some fresh meat.. watcha say?
