[LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

[BigB]

Crue looks the items over as the group goes through the contents of the packs. "Not a bad haul. Axes are not my style and these certainly are a bit large. We should be able to sell this stuff for a decent amount if no one can use it."
[sblock]Is there anything unusual about gnolls with such quality gear in this area?[/sblock]

Jonas keeps his eyes on the surrounding area as the others go through the gnolls' packs. He waits for his size to revert from monstrous to simply over-large, and for Mystie's response to his query. When the axes come to light, he reflexively checks the falchion slung over his shoulder and the flail on its belt hook. "I'll stick with my weapons for now. Those are a little small for me," he says with a grin.​

Dunkel shrugs and helps put some of the treasure in the party's saddlebags. He switches out his older battleaxe for one of the masterwork versions, saying as he straps the old one to the side of his horse, "Looks like my old family battleaxe can stay a relic. I like the feel of this new one and want to give her a go. Think I'll call her Marla for my great-aunt. She had a sharp tongue, that one."

 

[BigB]

Crue gets a good laugh at the jovial banter of the group between Jonas comment on the axes being too small to Dunkel keeping one and naming it after his aunt. "Yes I am sure Marla there will give her share."

[Aura]

Eventually, things return to a sense of normalcy. Jonas returns to his natural size, the greasy spot on the ground disappears, and the pugwampi is not seen from again. Returning to the horses, the group finds that they have not strayed far in their riders' absence, although Piper particularly has moved about 30 feet or so in the quest for better grazing.

However, when the first to return, Cruendithas, approaches the horses, Myrtle suddenly steps into his path. Ears back, snorting and stamping one hoof onto the ground, she challenges the gnome to pass. Confronted with the aggressive giant, Cruendithas immediately stops and cringes.

[sblock=Cruendithas]Myrtle's sudden aggression has left you Shaken, and you have a -2 penalty to about every d20 roll until it wears off.[/sblock]

Jonas steps forward toward his horse, holding a ham-sized hand out and speaking soothingly to the beast. "Whoa, easy girl . . . easy. Crue is a friend, and you've gotten along right well until now. Easy . . ." He continues to speak soothingly to the horse, trying to keep his face and voice calm though his thoughts are racing. Something of his confusion must be showing on his bestial features, however, and Myrtle isn't responding well to his talk.

He glances aside at Crue, shifting his address to the little Bard but continuing his soothing tone. "You placed the gems in your pouch, no? I wonder if there's something on them that's spooking her?"​

"Well then let's not touch the stones with our bare hands anymore than we have already. I am not prepared to detect the presence of evil, but I can see if there are any enchantments placed upon them," Dunkel says as he approaches the Crue with holy symbol in hand and asks him to open the pouch. The dwarven cleric then casts Detect Magic upon the gemstones. "Rogar, cast your one good eye upon these items and aid us to discern their hidden secrets."

Crue jumps in fright as Myrtle suddenly steps into his path, Ears back, snorting and stamping one hoof onto the ground challenging him. He cringes and shies away from the horse as Jonas attempts to calm it. Clearly frightened his jovial mood is gone, taking hesitant steps away from Myrtle. He opens his pouch at Dunkels request but moves to position Dunkel between himself and the agitated horse. "I should have better examined them. How careless of me."

With the mood gone he forgets his prank and instead focuses on the matter at hand and their surroundings.

Jonas does his best to divide his attentions between Myrtle's strange hostility and the stones presented by Crue. He focuses his will on the stones for a moment, trying to see what it is exactly that Dunkle is doing to detect their magics . . .​

[sblock=Actions/Rolls]My (fairly lame, rushed) attempt to describe the idea that Jonas is "accidentally" attempting to Detect Evil on the stones while Dunkle is Detecting Magic.[/sblock]

"Well, I am not an expert on the little beasts, but pugwampis are fey gremlins. So, cold iron works on hurting them more than other metals or wood. The have an aura about them that anyone else within twenty feet of them has misfortunes and rather spectacular failures in what they do. But, for some reason, that doesn't affect gnolls, dogs or those who are blessed with the luck of the gods. I have a spell that is based on their aura. It only affects one person, and for only a little while, but it does feel the same to the poor victim."

When Myrtle gets agitated, "Cruendithas! Did you step in some gnoll poop? Nothing scares a horse faster than the dung of a predator. Well, flying dragons, they do, and gryphons, but other than that..."
