[LPF] Beggar's Belief

[Aldern Foxglove]

"Hmm, a reasonable plan, but don't get too caught up in your own cleverness. Its obvious now that you bleeding hearts have fallen for the leprechaun's sob story. And I know a Sahaguin or two who will retrieve the treasure for me, albeit at a price I am reluctant to pay. I'm not letting you out without a leprechaun corpse I'm afraid. But if you bring me that, I'm prepared to take only two thousand gold pieces worth of treasure, that should be sufficient to my needs. But I won't be haunted by that little fey vermin anymore, kill him, die down like there like rats, or take your chances with the sharks - those are your only options."

OOC: For shattering rubies I'm going to need a fairly impressive strength check I'm afraid.

"Well that was worth a shot." Says Megan once out of earshot, "Guardian, what do you think of holding out down here? Surely curiosity will get the better of Knesh and he will want to come down and check things out in a few days. Stump, do you have any spare food/water? At this rate, I am willing to eat Goblin flesh and drink dank water than to give him any satisfaction. Of course, there's no preventing him from sending another band of hapless adventurers after us, so swimming might not be a bad option?"

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

"I've no food I am afraid,
I stole it from the Pesh brigade.
But if you swim I can make it appear,
as if you are still waiting here."

Megan looks expectantly at the Guardian for direction.

OOC: I am down for swimming is there are no other options.

"I will rather die swimming than killing someone for Knesh!"

"Let's waste no time then. Stump, please keep him occupied."

Megan gives the creatures a wink before diving into the pool.

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric

OOC: I am back on-line, see this post.

Having been lost deep in thought, Ariel did not participate in the ruse. She is not very skilled at lying anyway.

Since she cannot swim, nor has any inclination to fight sharks in water, she speaks up before Megan leaves, "Wait, a moment. What about climbing up there? We have not even tried that option yet. Nor have I tried reason after the attempt at deceit."

"This ladder of Stump's will support his weight, can he open the grate. I could wing a few fire bolts at him if he tries to interfere."

OOC: I think I missed something. Why was the pitons, rope, plan abandoned? Also there must be a few more things to try yet before swimming.

OOC: Welcome back! Glad everything worked out for you.

"I assume that lock to the grate is located outside, which means all Knesh has to do is wait for my slender hands to appear for him to chop them off. And since Knesh is only attacking my hands, I imagine it'll be hard for range missiles to hit him. But let's say I somehow climbed up, unlocked the grate, and got topside w/out getting chopped to pieces, I then have to find the ladder and throw it down there for the rest of the group to climb up, all the while fighting off Knesh. It just sounds like a plan with too many places that could go wrong."

"You can try diplomacy with Knesh if you want. I am under the impression that one way or another he wants Stump here dead."

OOC: Stump doesn't have a ladder, he got us a rope.

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

OOC: Stump has a rope ladder made for a small creature, which he normally uses Mage Hand to lift up. Feel free to try reason, he does seem a reasonable man - even if he is selfish and certainly racist, or feyist?
