North by Northwest, Chapter 3: The Winter of Our Discontent

Cian

Awed at how such a fine tower could be constructed in such a difficult to reach location, Cian examines it admiringly. He then turns his attention to the 'blasted stumps', wondering what they've wandered into.

Cellan feels exhausted by the time the group gets to the tower. "Uh...I'm not sure I'm, uhm, up to another, uh, confrontation now, friendly or not," the druid says. "Can't we, uhm, go sleep first?"

 

[Fenris]

"That indeed may be the best course of action. Though diplomacy will be our key here I think. As our captive told us, dissention is rife here." says Ghur.

Cole Braddock

“Strategists might argue that resting before a fight is our best option…” Says Cole as he takes time to carefully look over the gate guards, “And I just might be in agreement.” He finishes.

Moving to the large warrior, he motions towards the large sword on his back and asks, “That’s a nice sword you have, how’s the balance on it?”

[sblock=OOC for Bloodweaver1]If you're talking to Herev, I believe Strahd is on vacation for a few more days.[/sblock][sblock=OOC]I'll give everyone else until midmorning tomorrow to pop in; otherwise, I push on, assuming that you decide to rest for a while.[/sblock]

 

[Old Fezziwig]

[sblock=OOC/Pushing On]I'm going to assume that you rest for the evening. You can rest as long as you want — nothing happens. When you break camp, everything is exactly as it was before you went to camp. The two bulky svirfneblin (or two just like them) are stationed in the same place.[/sblock]

 

[Starman]

Cellan blows into his hands and rubs them together. "Well, uh, should we, uhm, talk to them or sneak past them?" he asks.

Herev

Moving to the large warrior, he motions towards the large sword on his back and asks, “That’s a nice sword you have, how’s the balance on it?”

I took it from the big warrior in the ruined tower … oh … you met us afterwards.
We fought a big hooved creature and this sword belonged to him, but I prefer my Warhammer
He says and taps his beloved weapon.

Cian

Waking chilly and a little stiff, Cian joins the others in discussing options. "If we try to sneak in and get caught we will have no where to retreat. I shudder to think about making our way down those stairs with an angry force on our heels. Let's try diplomacy. If they were inclined to turn away visitors they could have sent us packing last night."

 

[Starman]

Cellan nods, scratching Manakar behind his ears. "Uhm, well, let's, uh, talk to them then."
