[LPF] Greener is the Grass

[ScorpiusRisk]

Deizel has gotten a bit lost in the ritual and strange savage tongue of the young warrior. Maui at least seems to be following so Denizel smiles and nods enthusiastically.

Ganil stares at the bag holding the bones of his daughter for a long moment before replying. The effort to remain composed takes much from the warrior and a slight tremble is visible. Finally he returns his gaze to Maui, Sylla, Denizel, and Vincenzo.

"I cannot give what I do not own. Yet our band was following the tracks of bandits and thieves who broke the peace between Goti and Pellmen and raid the weak." He looks longingly at the bag again. "I wish... I wish to take my daughter home again. But peace between Goti and Pell is the greater need. We shall ride with you, fight with you to bring the peace that we both seek. And when it is done my daughter shall return home and her spirit set free. You shall be honored among the Goti-Susack for your part in this."

Ganil glares down at the body of Juhelos. "Take his possessions so his spirit wanders unequipped. I do not want them."

Vincenzo steps forward with a merchant's eye and starts removing the possessions of the fallen dastardly fighter.

OOC: Nashville is boring. its missing my friends. blah

Sylla glares at Maui. "No. It will not be this way. We will not extort help form a grieving father. Ganil, take your daughter home. Your offer of peace is more than enough. We ask only that you permit us to hunt the bandits ourselves. But if you wish to give us a gift between friends, then allow your scout to accompany us."

She strides forward and places the point of her spear at Juhelos' throat. "I offer this gift to the Queen of Crows, to ask forgiveness for our trespasses against her." She offers the haft of the spear toward Maui, to see if he will strike the final blow. If not, she presses downward with a grim smile.

OOC: Apparently I'm a much slower typist than Systole. When I started this post Systole's post wasn't up yet. We'll assume the collection of gear happens after Juhelos is killed. Feel free to act as is the looting hasn't happened yet if anyone wants to respond to Sylla. I'll post again later after I see if others post in response.

As Vincenzo steps forward to take care of the unpleasant task of removing Juhelos' possessions the Goti gather their mounts and make ready to travel.

Vincenzo finds that Juhelos wears a suit of leather lamellar armor, and carries a very nice composite bow with a pull heavier than Vincenzo can manage comfortably. Vincenzo also finds the obsidian dagger, a ring, a heavy glass vial filled with a thick, dark liquid hanging from a cord around Juhelos' neck, a quartet of potions filled with a chalky liquid, and a pouch heavy with coin.

Between Sylla and Denizel's expertise and advice from Ganil they are able to figure out the function of all the items though the blood magic of the vial hints at even darker practices that Juhelos participated in.

[sblock=Loot]+1 Leather Lamellar (1,210 gp); MW composite longbow (Str +4) (800 gp); +1 obsidian dagger (2,301 gp); +1 Ring of Protection (2,000 gp); Blood Reservoir of Physical Prowess (2,000 gp); Potions: Cure Light Wounds x4 (200 gp). Coins: 489; [Total value: 9000 gp][/sblock]

Denizel turns away as Sylla points the spear, knowing well what's going to happen next. Once he hears the plunge he assists in whatever way he can in identifying the items, but doesn't express even a passing interest in anything but the ring.

[sblock=ooc]If anyone else wants a ring they should take it, as Denizel tends away from melee.[/sblock]

Vincenzo looks the ring over once its been identified. "Does any one mind if I take this?"

OOC: requesting ring of protection +1

 

[GlassEye]

Briefly Sylla thinks she hears the faint cackle of a crow but a glance around shows neither birds nor trees where a crow might be perched.

Ganil seems relieved when Sylla steps forward and acts but it is uncertain whether that relief comes from the death of Juhelos, that he is free to return to his clan and release his daughter's spirit without guilt over leaving the task of tracking the bandits undone, or, most likely, both. He nods his head at Sylla's request and the scout moves to retrieve his horse and stand near the group.

"You bring me my daughter's bones, deliver to me my vengeance, then ask permission to fulfill my responsibility to the Goti-Susack?" He grins briefly and you can see that in better days, days that will hopefully be returned soon to the Susack, Ganil was a man of good humor. "I am indebted to you three times over and the Goti-Susack will be honored to fete you when Aoro brings you victorious to our camp."

That twinkle surfaces again. "Plus many of my warriors will be eager to see the one strong in the spirit who can shoot a bow almost as good as a Goti." Ganil makes a brief signal with his hand and the Goti warriors mount up in preparation for riding south.

Maui looks impassively at Sylla, arms folded across his chest. He could not understand her words but he did not like her tone. When offered the haft of the spear he continues to regard her impassively. His eyes flick towards Ganil a moment, as though the druid was unsure why the man does not take his own revenge. He does not flinch when Sylla finishes Juhelos. Equally unsure of Goti traditions, but seemingly freed from the task of carrying the bones, he hands over the sack with a nod and remounts his horse. "Ganil, First of te Goti, Maui will hold you to your offer of hospitality. Then we will talk of te caravan of those we protect who search for a new home, and te safe crossing of Goti lands." Maui raises his blade as the Goti depart. Once the group is alone he turns to Sylla and says: "Maui does not know te meaning of estort. You are angry all te time, but Maui has done nothing to deserve your angry eyes on him. If you have something to say then use te words I understand."
