Pathfinder 1E [LPF] Memories of the Past

Zinnelis Laediril, Elven Ranger (Level 1)

Venza/Underbridge

Zinnelis eyed the troll warily, listening to his offer. What was his fixation on the druid? Still, it was Autumn’s pledge to give, and it seemed they had little choice if they wished to continue the mission to put the spirit of Kingsholme to rest.

“Be wary, Autumn,” Zinn said quietly, but made no move to stop her acceptance of the bargain.

Levanna studied Thorgrimr as he offered the bargain several times, searching for hints of whether his motives were hostile or benign. The fey's face, however, was an impenetrable mask of carefully controlled features.

As Autumn reached out her hand, Levanna blinked in surprise, suddenly aware of the greater gravity of the situation.

"Autumn!" Levanna hissed. Her hand darted out and grabbed the druid's wrist, temporarily pulling it back. She thought back to tales and lore that they had heard, warning of the dangers of striking bargains with darker fey. Even 'good' fey had been known to twist bargains to their own ends. Levanna wondered, with a look of concern, why Autumn was being so hasty. She released the druid, but quickly continued with a warning of her own.

"Wait! Think for a moment. This 'simple favor' could be anything. All he would have to do is ask for something you would be unwilling to do at each opportunity before you 'must' comply. And beware, he may use fey magic to compel you," she said, leaving out the fact that, as a novice wizard, she had no way of knowing whether or not this was the case.

Levanna looked back at the imposing figure of Torgrimr when she finished. Her shoulders hunched and she took a cautious step backwards. With her weak magic and no access to fire, she started considering a hasty retreat.

[sblock=OOC]In her panic, Levanna made no attempt to speak softly. Torgrimr would have easily heard her words[/sblock]

Levanna's interjection causes Autumn to withdraw her handle completely. She asks the fey, "C-could you tell m-m-me the three favors ahead of time, and allow me to pick one? And further, could y-you tell me what is to happen if I refuse three times?"

"rrrRRRRaarrgh!"

Torgrimr jerks his hand back and slams it down on the arm of his tree-root chair. He grips it tightly and the wood creaks under the strain. His jaw clenches.

"Agree or not. But decide NOW!"

[sblock=OOC]After his previous rephrasing of the deal offered, Torgrimr declines to explain further. Accepting his deal means you move forward. Declining his deal means you move forward in a different direction. Whatever the decision, you need to act fast; Torgrimr is a hair's breadth away from violence.[/sblock]

 

[FrancisJohn]

Autumn draws herself up to her fullest height, and offers her hand once more. Better me than the rest of my friends.

Underbridge


Torgrimr's massive hand closes around Autumn's much smaller hand. She can feel the power of his grip barely held in check. As quickly as that, the fey troll releases her hand and leans back in his chair. He smiles, exposing his yellowed tusks, and makes an expansive gesture that encompasses the entirety of the room.

"It is done. You may pass. Select your door and go."

 

[FrancisJohn]

Autumn keeps on her brave face, but turns to Etan for guidance for which door to pick.

Zinnelis Laediril, Elven Ranger (Level 1)

Venza/Underbridge

Zinnelis tensed as Autumn reconsidered and Torgrimr grew irate. The ranger reached for one of his cold iron arrows, but Autumn stuck out her hand and the bargain was struck. Zinn hoped she would not come to regret it as he slid the arrow back in his quiver.

“Which door do we choose for where we need to go?” Zinn asked the troll as he looked around, studying the doors for signs that might indicate which one they needed.

Torgrimr leans back on his seat and smirks.

"Which door?" He shrugs. "The agreement was to allow you to pass. You have my permission to pass." Torgrimr leans forward, a look of intensity on his face. "I will gladly make another deal with you, to tell you which door you need, if you'd like."

When Autumn looks to Etan for guidance the pixie just shrugs his shoulders helplessly. "I know of this place but I've never been here before. I know nothing of these doors. But..." Etan glances up at Levanna. "What is it you wizards say? Like to like?"
