Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

[Arkhandus]

Corath stops, cocking her head in her usual fashion to the right as she turns to face the centaur. "I do not have a stomach. I cannot eat. Therefore, it is not me." She looks to Alaric. "Is it perhaps you?"

"I should hope not! Were my stomach to make such sounds, I would expect my sudden and too-early demise," the mage answers.

William stifles a chuckle but remains silent, wondering what's going on behind them, and keeping an eye on Valen, who seems to have it in for him.

BTW, it occurs to me that some of you are obviously reading beyond what I'm typing into things that are not actually being said.. what 'allusions' has William made, and what has he said that's so un-knightly?[/sblock]

The Road to Vedlund...

[sblock=OOC for Johen, the sigil on the Corath's ring]The hand does indeed appear to be crushing the elven face, however the fingers are a bit too long and stylized, contorted at too many joints. The lettering surrounding the image is in an arcane script that Johen can't decipher.[/sblock]

Muzdum comes around a bend in the road and spots the group, complete with donkey. The others see a sweaty, dusty, clanking dwarf running around the bend toward them.

The hawk, Highflyer, lets out a shriek of alarm as it circles back down to Johen.

OOC: Spot checks, please, from everyone but Muzdum.

 

[Amaury]

Johen checks Corath's ring and says: "Alaric, you might be able to read the writing on the edge of it... I cannot understand it.."

Later as they hear the dwarf approaching in the distance, he turns to spot Muzdum and is ready to welcome him when he is alarmed by Highflyer's reaction: "Err.. Highflyer's spotted something wrong overthere!!.." he shouts to his companions.

Spot (1d20=17) I don't have the mods with me..[/sblock]

Estelle notices a rolled up ball of fabric on her blouse, very irritating indeed. With care and precision she delicately plucks it off and blows it into the wind.

OOC: Spot check of 2.

 

[Helfdan]

Valen

[sblock=OOC]
Spot Check 8 (10 vs humans)

[Arkhandus]

Alaric shrugs. It doesn't interest him right now. He's just anxious to get on the way and reach their destination already......

Not paying much attention at this point, other than hearing the approaching, clanking fellow, Alaric looks ahead on the road they're traveling.

(Spot of 4.)

 

[Jemal]

William whirls around to face the wildly approaching dwarf. "Halt your rapid approach and state your intentions!" He shouts, hand on sword.

(Spot 12)

 

[Yttermayn]

Aohdan came up beside William and laid a gentle hand atop his sword arm's shoulder. "Hold, Sir William, it is merely our friend Muzdum come to join us."
Spot: (1d20-1=18)

 

[ethandrew]

Estelle finally reacts to Aohdan's words, "Who?! Muzdum? Wasn't he that dwarf who disappeared in the city way back when? What's he doing here?" She looks utterly confused and shrugs her shoulders in a nonconcerned manner.
