[PBP] Tholestia Chapter 1: Minotaur trouble and a failed ambush

[Spellsword]

Rules again eh?

well just drop the spellcraft...

 

[Deepwinter 7]

zzzzz

 

[Ravellion]

The shadowy being moves into one of the trees. That tree then seems to be the source of sound, and in a breathy, dark voice with elongated vowels and strong sibilant tones, the same one you heard before:"Why should I trust you bald one? Your delicious elven friend tried to attack me. I sense your powers though, and life courses through each and every one of you... I can barely resist you. Are... Are you a force of righteousness?"

That last sentence seems to be inquisitive and doubting, as if the voice is trying to remember something.

Diactum's action next.

 

[Deepwinter 7]

[Let's proceed and not wait for Diactum he will not post today or before tomorrow noon anyway... I'll ask him not to do anything that will hinder our future actions in the next round...]

[Tycho detects evil ...]

 

[Ravellion]

Tycho concentrates on his the evil auras, and finds that the strongest one of them is of overwhelming strength (though not so much that it knocks him out). If he concentrates for one more round, he'll find the location and strength of both auras.

 

[Deepwinter 7]

A little bewildered by the odd reply from the ghostly figure, Deepwinter 7 answers in a somewhat friendly voice

You can trust me, for my words are true. We seek the long lost Mage Guild in order to rescue a friend in need. Those that oppose us and hinder this mission out of malcontempt will be rightly eliminated.

Then adding in a more persuasive voice So what are you? Friend or foe?

Brace for impact

 

[Ravellion]

Ilan next.

 

[Ilan]

I lower my bow and take a non threatening position.

 

[Ravellion]

Kheldev.

 

[Sullaf]

Kheldev still a bit confused, does not like these kind of encounters. When he still was part of the dwarven militia, all was simple and clear: if it was not a dwarf and you came across it in the many tunnels under the mountain, it was an enemy. Nowadays you had to ask strangers if they were friend or foe. Kheldev sighs, braces himself and readies for any hostile actions from the 'thing'. If it does anything in a threatening way, Kheldev will charge at it and smack it over the head with his axe.
