Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang's pointed ears perk up in surprise when Sielwoodan's quiet voice seems to sound right next to his face. Before the warrior barks in alarm, the message beckons him to silently join the archer outside.
The elven fighter doesn't look at Teleri or Laurent when he leaves, and waits for Sielwoodan to lead him to the latest threat. It doesn't even cross Calenthang's mind to retrieve the others. Sielwoodan didn't ask for them.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Just a note, I don't enter yet, I try first to hear what they tell and transmit it to anyone who can understand it with my Message spell. I also try to find out how much they are, as a talking person generally don't speak to himself.[/SBLOCK]

"Lovitar?" Teleri's voice chilled, pieces of the puzzle fell into place. The strange parade, the pall that seemed to hang over the town. Andreas' odd behavior, so different from what a true Illmater priestess would adhere to. "And where would she perform her services? Where would she keep that which is precious to her?

Laurent looks at Teleri, then back at the man, "The Maiden of Pain huh? Okay, change of tack, tell us the truth or we'll kill you quickly and painlessly.". His gaze returns to the priestess as he walks over to the door to retreive his quarterstaff, speaking quietly in elven, "Be careful mistress, we are dealing with some very dangerous people indeed and possibly spellcasters to boot. They might even be almost as much masters of lies, deceit and misdirection as myself." He gives a glance to their bonds and smiles benevolently.

OOC:
[sblock]They are both tied up right? [/sblock]

"Don't let my youth fool you bard. I'm young, not stupid," she said in elvish, smiling tightly.

"A thousand apologies milday," Laurent gives a little bow, then smacks the end of his quarterstaff a few inches away from the guys head. "We should seperate these two, before she wakes up."

Teleri considers. "Take the woman. Don't fall for any of her tricks, snakes come oft-times in pleasing colors." she turned back to the man and switched to common.

"How did the girl and her parents die in truth? What happened to Lady Chastity and her companion?" she demanded as cold and as deadly as only an elf could be, all trace of humour gone. Her hands clench as she whispers a prayer to Sehanine and then raises her head and looks at the man directly

"Tell ME what you know NOW!" she commanded.

ooc:
Casting Command to get the guy to tell her what he knows.

[sblock]Yep they're tied up.[/sblock]

Sielwoodan listens closely, seemingly able to make out about 3 or 4 distinct voices, but the ranger cannot be certain. Those able to understand Orcish, via the elf's message spell, can make out the sounds of the orcs carousing in the barn. Nothing of much interest can be made out, just snippets of a raid here and there and the splitting of loot. Calenthang and Broddy move up behind Sielwoodan as quietly as they can. It still appears as if they have not been noticed.

Back in the farmhouse, the man chuckles at Teleri's question. "Wherever there is pain and suffering, you can find means to worship the scourge," he barks. At Laurent's threat though, his expression changes. The prospect of a painless death does not appear to sit well with the farmer. "What truth do you seek? Honestly," he sneers, "There's not much that I can tell you. We worship the Pain Maiden under Lady Andress. Any greater designs she may have in mind for us, we are not privy to."

Edit: Sorry Kirinke, I was in the middle of posting and didn't see yours before I put mine up. I don't believe that you can utilize command in this way to get him to tell you the truth. From the write-up it looks like it restricts you to choosing from a list of options that all seem to be tailored towards commanding the target to do something physically, dealing mostly with movement. If someone else knows otherwise, let me know and I'll discuss allowing it further, but until then, I'm going to disregard it for now.

Laurent not-to-gently drags the woman into the next room, if there is one, else upstairs.
