Alaric the Alchemist, HP 4/11, AC 16
Alaric lowers his crossbow, surprised that he dropped another already. 'These brigands weren't very experienced, I guess. What's their story?' he thinks to himself. He reloads the crossbow in his hand, just in case, and takes a quick look around to assess the situation. "Don't kill any of them, they may have information. Try to stabilize the dying ones for now," the alchemist calls out.
Then he checks the bodies briefly, and when he finds one still conscious, he tries to address it. "Take it easy, and we may let you live. Some of us have skill in the healing arts. What dagger did you come for, and what's so important about it? Are there others who mean to attack us for it? Who sent you? For that matter, what kind of people are you?"
He first asks in the Common tongue, then tries Draconic if that doesn't work, Azgundi if that doesn't get a response, Elven if that also fails, and finally tries Dwarven if nothing else seems to be understood.
The alchemist pulls back the fallen foe's hood, but keeps his crossbow leveled at the fellow's throat, to ward off any treachery.
Alaric still has two arrows stuck in him, but apparently neither hit anything vital, since he's still moving around and talking without difficulty. Just a bit of gritting his teeth. Questions first, and, well, first aid later.
[sblock=ooc]Alaric attempts a Knowledge check to identify the stranger. Unfortunately, he never studied planar lore, so he has no ranks in Knowledge (the planes); he only knows DC 10 common knowledge from that skill. Instead, if Knowledge (arcana) suffices, his check is ?.
Out of character, I'm guessing githzerai or githyanki.
Alaric's no bloodthirsty scoundrel, so if the fallen enemies cooperate, he'll insist on leaving them alive while our party takes their valuables and continues on our way.[/sblock]
