No Man's Land (IC)

[Rathan]

Meekor rubs his little green hands together and nodsnods rapidly to the much larger Whin.. his eyes seeming to light up at the mention of some fine spirits.... he quickly hopsteps within Whins shadow so to speak as he tails him to the nearest taven...

"mmmm good idea you do have my friend Whins, the best place to find information is in that of a drunken stupor or two.." the little goblin 'sidekick' uttered in a low gutteral tone as he looked about for anything other than themselves out of place along the way...

" Thats just it "mate". I don't have to be, as you so eloquently put, "diplomatic". My strength gets me through the day. And besides, I find honest bluntness much more polite than meaningless banter and a pretense of friendship. Now, in order to avoid wasting any more of your "oh so precious" time, I will make the offer simple. Carry the stone. Follow the Construct. We'll give you the location of the disciples. Accept, or get out of my sight. "

"I have told you once before that I will not carry your bauble. Nor do I have any intention of following that hulk." Morrigan gestures toward the retreating form of the behemoth. "You, however, have my permission to do as you like. Should I develop an interest in an individual's location, I generally determine it by less quotidian means." Morrigan sneers. The threat, though unstated, is palpable.

He does not leave. Nor does he make any move to leave. Rather, he intently studies the details of the man's face, memorizing it for future reference.

OOC: Readied action: Time Stop on any aggressive move.

[Darimaus]

The robed man continues to smile wickedly.

" Then I suppose I shall be on my way... But not after I give you something to remember me by! "

The robed man whips out a dagger and attempts a quick strike at Morrigan, whos timestop goes off.


The three warriors in Hail begin to plot their next actions, when they spot a troupe of four guards and a what appears to be an armored mage march into the area and start questioning people, who begin to point the intruders out.

 

[Nephtys]

The second Hellfire Wyrm is also conversing with Yashar, albiet far away in the desert.

"And what is it you believe you could offer to us, Mr. "Mysterious Stranger"? I am not seeing such an incentive for us to forge our efforts together into one. Actually, now that I think on it, I don't even know what it is you want from us, If you are truly NOT a religious pawn in search of the disciples..."

"No, no, I AM in search of the disciples, I just resent being called a pawn. Perhaps you can give me some directions..."

 

[Darimaus]

The Hellfire Wyrm begins to show signs of impatience.

"So we're back to this again? What possible reason is there for us to want to work with you? You must begin to understand, you have been brought here under false pretences. These disciples are meaningless to anyone who is not part of the religious sect. Everyone else simply classifies then as a form of living natural disasters and goes on with their lives. We have no interest in your quest. As such, we have no interest in helping you!"

 

[Nephtys]

ooc: This is getting embarrassing for me. I did not intend to play the character this way, but I guess idiocy just happens . Maybe I can get him killed and start fresh, or redeem him by beating a more powerful opponent, but the conversation doesn't seem to be going that way. Meh, he has no reason to continue this exchange in any way at this time.
-

"Right. I'll let you go on your way then."

He contunies towards Thrall.

“I am far beyond Mortals as you are beyond Chromatic Lizards.” States the large hellish looking construct like creature. “Make no mistake of this and I will respectivily heed your words.” He finishes before taking hold of his shield and securing his hammer back across his shoulders. "The offer that I present is then turned towards you. An army of the Gods has marched onto this island. The reason, for whatever value it is to be held at, will not be ignored and needs to be remedied. Assitance in this remedy is what I respectivily request. In return, silence from others that share the same words as I."

 

[Unkabear]

Grift is careful not to touch the ground as he floats invisibly above the crowd. The words of Whin were not necessary as that was his whole purpose, but he was wise enough to hold his tongue. He was not in the mood for a direct confrontation with Whin, gatekeepers orders or not.

Grift took to the air and simply listened in the wake of the others. Slipping close enough to catch conversations where he could and all round gauge the crowds. Grift decided not to follow the others but instead stick to the Marketplace. Grift stuck to the best out of the way places that still put him in good listening range of the populace. As well he unslung his crossbow and held it lightly in his hands.

(OOC though invisible still using his hide skill The link includes a modifier to hide I thought was added for invis, but cannot remember where I found it so instead of 85 the hide check is 45 + whatever modifier you would like to add for invisibility. Aside from that gather info 16, listen 41, move silent 43, spot 43 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1008679 )

(OOC - I have a sinking feeling those of us on the ships are stalling out. No updates? What about the Dragon Tow Service? GM?)
