Knightmares of Khorvaire
- Thread starter DEFCON 1
- Start date
As Luthal remains on his haunches, staring intently at the two thugs (making it very difficult for them to fall back asleep, especially while sitting up), Kolarred goes back outside and brings all three horses up and inside the first level of the tower. He then spends the next hour or so brushing, unloading and feeding their animals. He senses that all three of them are very grateful for getting the chance to finally rest after the exceedingly long day.
Zook repacks everything in the two backpacks and leaves them on the fourth level. He changes his appearance to a good-looking human, then climbs back down the rope to join Luthal on the third. He preps his own bedroll and tucks down for a night's rest. Eventually Kolarred returns to the third level and he too prepares himself for sleep.
Unless anyone has anything else they'd like to do, the night passes with all 3 taking a watch period, and then the morning breaks.

In the morning, as the group wakes up and prepares themselves, Kolarred practice his combat maneuvre and finish with 15 minutes of intense prayer. During his prayer he asks the gods to help him decides what is best to do with these two men.
Once he finishes, he prepares the horses eat a quick bite and drink a bit of tea made from locals herb. Once they are ready to leave he heads towards them, draw his sword and cut the ropes holding the men. (he first made sure that all weapons had been removed). Still wondering if he won't regret it later, but fully knowing that right now it's the best course of action. He has the choice between bringning those two minor thugs to justice and let greater evil accomplish their deeds or let these two minor trouble makers go and stops the greater evil. "You are free now. I forgive you. Go back to your villages, changed men, helping the others as much as you can.
"That probably won't be enough but I gave my best, Dol Arrah I hope your understand this difficult choice"
OOC Diplomacy +14

Rax and Palin look somewhat dumbfounded that they're being allowed to leave. They stretch out and try to get some movement back in their muscles before beginning the long hike home, and it's during this that they notice for the first time that they are missing a few things.
'Um... excuse me... I don't mean to be a bother... but can we get our backpacks, bows, and quivers back? The hike back to Vedykar is very dangerous and we could use our defense.'
'Yeah... and I'm missing my pendant and my gold.'
'Oh yeah. That too. Um... what do you say? Can we get our stuff back? Please? No hard feelings!'
The two look at Kolarred expectedly... hoping they can play on his good graces and they can get their stuff back. Otherwise they're out a whole lot of swag.

"Now they are pushing their luck, Their arrows seems magical and could easily be used against us. I can't take that chance"
Kolarred looks at them longuely. He then picks the three daggers and throw them on the ground in front of them.
"I already did a lot for you,
You wanted to kill us, we spared you.
We offered you a chance to redeem by fighting the same forces of evil that corrupted you and you took a conscient descision to refuse that offer.
Still I forgived your action and left you leave in peace.
Now you tell me, if you were in our shoes would you give us our main weapons back.
These arrows of your seems to be enchanted with powerfull magic that probably could kill us with one shot, again I am asking you would you give us our weapons back?
Kolarred looks at the two men with a calm facial expression, obviously waiting for an answer.

The two men look at each other... wondering what exactly might be the best answer to give to get what both sides whant out of the situation. Finally Rax turns back.
'Um... okay... you can keep our bows and arrows... that's fine... no problems there. And whomever has our gold... you can keep that too. We only got it from the Claws anyway. But uh... could we at least have our backpacks back? It has all of our hiking equipment and food. We're going to need it if we want to make it back down the mountain. What do you say? That okay?'
'And my medallion! I need my medallion back! I don't care about my bow, but the medallion is a... family heirloom! It has sentimental value! I need that back! Please?!?'

Kolarred smiles at the inhability of the two men to answers his question.
"Of course the backpack, the equipment and the food are yours. But if you want the medallion, you will have to do better than that.
He then walks back to the other two and says whispering "Do you think that they are telling the thruth about it. Anyone has a clue on what it could be?
Kolarred tries to judge if the two men are telling the thruth.
OOC Sense Motive +7, Hopping the others can also help him discerning the lies. Kolarred also try to detect any traces of evil emanating from the medallion.

Kolarred can tell that both men just want to get out of the tower with as much of their stuff as they can. He senses that they both know they are lucky to be getting off the hook, but that his generosity and unwillingness to make an example of them has made them a little bolder in asking for their stuff back. He figures if he was to lay down the law, that they'd take off without getting any of their stuff back rather than fight... but until that point, they'll try to gt away with asking for as much as they can before leaving.
'No, no... the medallion IS important to him. Really! I mean... it is what it is... but it has sentimental value if nothing else. Can Palin have it? Please, M'Lord? For Palin? We'll get right out of your hair and back down the mountain. Then you can go do whatever it is you need to the Claws.'
