Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia put her own hair into a braid fairly easily and then made the arcane gestures to cast prestidigitation to add the fragrance of flowers and colored her own hair green. Then she added some magical looking faux blossoms that would flutter around her head like butterflies. It was an obvious little illusion trick and ostentatious, but mere entertainment value only.

Getting close, she was only carrying a stoppered flask in hand and she held out her other palm face up. With the others appearing to agree, she said softly, “Well, I shall give it a try”

She called out, “Hello? You in the clearing, we mean you no harm. May we approach?”

Just before Pirvinia calls out one of the fey women releases her arrow and it flies across the intervening space to thud solidly in the archery butt. Pirvinia's call catches their attention and they turn, lowering their bows and walking forward side by side. They return Pirvinia's greeting with a wave.

"Welcome, strangers! Come, rest and refresh yourselves. We have wine and meat can be made ready. After you have rested a contest of archery would pleasantly pass the time."

The younger of the two women looks Samad over boldly. Her eyes flash with unsuppressed emotion. "Or we can find other diversions."

 

[Systole]

Mirra bows to the wood-women. "I'm afraid we are fresh on the trail, my ladies, so that meat and wine might dull our senses and slow our feet. But I do think we could spare the time for a test of archery. And I myself am always partial to a test of wits, if you would be willing. Hmm ... but even so, that would only make two tests, and that would hardly resolve anything. Perhaps you could interest Samad in a test of dancing?"

[sblock=OOC]Mirra is worried that we're going to get our ass handed to us in archery and is trying to propose a 2 out of 3. And she's totally throwing Samad under the bus given the look.[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]Mirra Weathersmith

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia looked to Samad about the contest in archery. She was hesitant to interrupt the negotiation with a different plan if Samad felt confident he could win. Instead she waited, listened and watched.

She was pretty clueless about the vial intentions and Mazi had nothing better to contribute.

The elf, in turn, thought a moment. He looked to the younger woman, who had been flashing him glances. He thought he had a feeling the he knew what she was implying, but he had a duty to uphold, and would not stray from it now. He bowed, yet shook his head, "My companion is right, we are in too much of a hurry to stop and dine with you now, but if it means to keep from offending you, then I suppose I or another of us could participate in your contest."

[GlassEye]

The older of the two vila frowns at the Mirra’s counter offer. The younger places her arm around Samad’s and almost purrs. ”Ooh! I like dancing!”

The older’s frown grows deeper and she snaps at the other. ”Are you an idiot? We steal Mother’s test and our bones will end up on her scrap heap.”

”So summon her and let her do her test here where we can watch. It will be fun!” She bats her eyes at Samad.

The older nods in agreement and plucks a horn from her belt. She blows two short blasts and hooks it back onto her belt.

A few short minutes later a crashing comes from the forest and the brambles along one side of the clearing are pushed apart. A hag steps forth from the forest. She has wind-knotted, black hair, smoky rags of clothing, and an unnaturally wide mouth of razor-sharp teeth. A gnawed bone, a femur, is clutched in her boney hand. She is followed by a dwarfish creature, carved entirely from wood, and with hair and beard of moss.

The hag sniffs in apparent disdain and looks down her long nose at you all. ”Greetings, champions of the axe. I offer you three challenges: a test of skill, a test of strength, and a test of wits – choose now or the game is over and I’ll feast on more than this bone!” She shakes the bone to emphasize her point.

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia glanced sidelong at her companions and was not sure they would do well to select wits. Considering they needed to move along with more important things, she was tempted to advocate just trying to walking onward and fighting them if they took exception.

Instead, she asked, "Pardon, lady. Do you want us to decide which of the three challenges to do? Or do we need to do all three with the alternative to let you feast something other than that bone in your hands?"

"I think we would choose a challenge. But what are the terms of winning and losing?"

The hag rolls her eyes at Pirvinia's question and her monstrous lips curve downward is annoyance. "Oh, Dearie, it isn't about winning and losing. Now you just stand there and look pretty while your betters make a decision." The older vila snorts in suppressed amusement and the oaken dwarf just stands impassively.

The younger vila giggles and squeezes Samad's arm. "I want my dance." She looks up at Samad and puts on a patently contrived pouty face.

Tsaaruk watches the discussion with some amount of annoyance at the Hags verbal abuse toward Privinia. "You presume much. Now Explain the test and we will be on our way."

Not that Tsaaruk has a problem with a test instead of a fight but he tires of the presumptuous hag and wishes to move on; she is just in their way. Not sure how a fight with the hag and her daughters would go he is controlling his anger for now, if barely in control.

Samad, too, was becoming more irritated by the minute, though he wasn't one to show it. After all, it was his arm currently being held fast, and he wasn't sure he wanted to make the wood-woman angry, lest she tear it off. On the other hand, he was sure that time was quickly running out for them. So he nodded at the hag, and at Tsaaruck, "My companion is right, if a little forceful; may we know the rules of your contests before we choose, or are we to choose blindly?"
