[Koboldquest] Delivering the box

[Krug]

Drar flies over before the Dweibolds can crest the hill.

Kadan:

Spoiler

Drar mindspeaks with you: "It.. is man. Hitting four-legged creature with stick. Creature... not caring. Continue chew grass."

 

[Diirk]

Miki waits for the others to report whats going on.. there's no way he's risking his neck if he doesn't need to.

 

[The Baron]

"Um. It seems there's a man over this rise. And he's beating a 'four-legged creature' with a stick. And the four-legs is just chewing grass, I guess. Doesn't seem very threatening, but why don't you lead the way anyways."

He shoots glances at the Dweibolds.

*Lok-Nar gives the others a pair of bloodthirsty grins, and gallops over the hill to see what is going on for themselves.*

Farmer and cow

"But the man might be dangerous! What if he is a mighty wizard??" says Serk.

The group crests the hill anyway. You see an odd sight. An old man stands in the middle of the road. His skin is wrinkled and tanned, and he is wearing mud-stained clothes of what you learnt in newtling school as a farmer. (Where you also learnt to recognise the garb of other human professions such as fighter, priest, sailor and snake oil salesman... those of you that managed to stay awake, that is)

In one shaking hand he holds a gnarled walking stick, which he is waving in the air; he is supporting himself with his other arm, which rests on the back of a rather pathetic-looking brown cow. He smacks the cow hard with his stick, but the cow doesn't really seem to register the blow.

"DAG NAM IT! *huff* puff*"he shouts, "You EVIL... BOVINE! *puff*" He seems rather breathless. He does not seem to have noticed you.

"See... he has a staff!" whispers Serk.

 

[Krug]

The cow's lazy swatting tail sweeps away some of the flies hovering around it.
(*kof*bump*kof)

*Lok-Nar takes one look at the scene and breaks out in cacophanous laughter.*

"*snort* It looks like Old Rek when he was beating Lazy Jard to get him to haul rock!" Lok says through snorts of laughter.

 

[Lefferts]

Zort wanders over the hill and scratches his head while watching the old man.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Taden exchanges a quick glance with Taget, then looks back towards the human, "Um...we lookin for big human right? Maybe that him? And...and then we go home now?" he paused and sighed, "But it probably not. He sound crazy. Maybe we ignore him...?"

All the while, Taden is doing his best to avoid touching the grass. This fact seems to slip his mind as he comments on 'crazy'.

 

[Krug]

The old man turns at the sound of Lok-Nar's laughter. He's only about 30' away.

"Sam? is that you?" The farmer squints in the darkness at you. You doubt if he can see you guys properly as there isn't any light source except a gibbous moon.

He seems impatient. "Hurry up now!" he cries out, his voice thin and cracked. The more observant of you can see that most of his teeth are missing. "Help me slay THE BEAST before it's too late!"
