[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7079353, member: 2012"] Lorien knows that look. He wishes he knew about who or what he was dealing with, but he has an idea that this individual's connection to the rats is more than just master and servant. "You are both cunning and wise to see the benefit in speaking to us," the bard quickly adds. "You can see that we are strong but that your subjects can harm us, if it is required." "Indeed they can," the voice squeaks. "And I believe it, for I experienced it firsthand, but as my friend has already told you, there is no need for more hostility. We do not mean your [U]kin[/U] any harm, sir rat. You have the word of Lorien Mornyano." Lorien plays hunch, waiting for a reply. "You know what I am," the voice growls. "I suspected," Lorien replies. "You are one with these rat. A wererat, most likely." "I am Hornauer, King of Rats. And you have invaded my home, elf." "We did not mean to disturb you and your kin. We were following a vision of one of your kind with a key. The key of a human who died here." "The dead man who hangs on the signal tower," Hornauer says. "No longer," Lorien replies. He can tell the King of Rats in engaged, interested in the conversation. "We have come to take him back to his kin, as well as the key, which is vital to his... mate's well being." "I see. You wish to rob me as well. The key is mine. I will not give it up for just anything." "I would never assume that you would do so, but we are glad to discover that it was found by one who knew its value. What do you want for it?" "Hmm, a trade then," the voice becomes clearer and the group looks up to see Hornauer clinging to the wall of the cavern in hybrid form. The wererat descends the wall cautiously and then suddenly jumps down the rest of the way landing in front of Lorien. "First, the elf wizard must free my rats and promise not to cast any more spells here." "He will agree," Lorien nods to Phar. Once the [I]web[/I] is dispersed, the dire rats scurry back down into their lair. "Second, the druid must apologize to me for trying to scare my subjects," the wererat looks at Caerth. "In his true form." "I'm sure I can convince him," Lorien says with a little less conviction. "And I'd like some sort of trinket to replace the key," Hornauer insists. "A bag of gems, maybe, or a shiny magical item. Hmm, I like the look of that ring on your finger." "I am sorry, but I cannot give up my family ring," Lorien replies. "But I do have this." The bard reaches into his handy haversack, which causes the wererat to flinch. A fine blade appears in his hand, as if out of nowhere. "Do not try to trick me," Hornauer growls. He soon has the blade's edge under Lorien's nose. "No trick," Lorien replies smoothly. "Just this," the bard holds up a bag and unties it. It is filled with fine jewelry. The wererat lowers his blade, his eyes transfixed on on the finery in the bag. "I normally wear these jewels when in the court of my king, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I gave them to you." Before the wererat can answer, Cruel Justice speaks suddenly, [I]"He has Kang! You must get it from him!"[/I] The wererat backs up suddenly, once again alert. "Who said that? Where is this other companion of yours? How does he know of Kang?" [I]"Cruel Justice, your timing sucks,"[/I] the bard thinks. [B][U]OOC[/U]:[/B] Rolled a 30 on Lorien's Diplomacy check (roll in the OOC thread). Hornauer went from hostile to indifferent. [/QUOTE]
