Phyrric Legacy - Shackled City IC Thread

[stonegod]

The skulk chortles evilly. "Doors kill you, doors kill you! Go and see! Hee hee!" Obviously, its nasty streak is still alive and well, and its inclination to like Jon does not extend to his friends.

"The traps on the gear doors. How do we get by them? How do we not get killed by the doors? After all, you and yours do not."

"The traps on the gear doors. How do we get by them? How do we not get killed by the doors? After all, you and yours do not."

The skulk answers Jon, "There are keys. Don't know where. We just use tunnels. With tunnels, don't need doors."

"A dwarf?" Remen simply asks Jon about it.

The malice in the creature, its total disregard of life, and its criptic answers are taking a heavy toll on the dark-haired man's patience... even the two words inquiring about the dwarf sound like an effort, as if he is containing himself...

"A dwarf?" Remen simply asks Jon about it.

Jon shrugs and directs the question at the skulk. "Who are these short, dark ones? Dwarves? Gnomes likes him?"---points to Flannad---"Are they in one area or all around? Are your people in one area or all around?"

Jon shrugs and directs the question at the skulk. "Who are these short, dark ones? Dwarves? Gnomes likes him?"---points to Flannad---"Are they in one area or all around? Are your people in one area or all around?"

The skulk glances at Flannad, then sneers. "Not like him...same size, but not like him. They are all around, my people are all around. They will get you."

"I was actually thinking about the augury..." Remen clenches his mouth, doing an effort... until he decides to get outside for a breath of fresh air...

 

[Question]

"Well Ghelve did mention that there were gnome like creatures. If i would make a guess, they are like the skulks, a wretched off shoot of the gnome race, probably with evil leanings as well." Liracor chips in.

"We can logically conclude that this Kazmojen isnt of a widely recognised race, and is neither a skulk or a gnome-like creature. Hmm judging from the abductions, especially that of young orphans, Kazmojen may be a minor fiend-like creature. Or possibly undead. Pity we cant charm the skulk into describing more freely."

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Arak raises an eyebrow at Liracor's assertions.

"We have seen city guards in Last Laugh make-up. Men, dwarves, elves and gnomes are absolutely capable of such depravity. To blame fiends is to apologize for the sinners we have already encountered. Justice shall be rendered and an example made for those of wavering moral standards."

 

[stonegod]

Jon looks at the others. "I believe I have asked all there is. Let us leave this one in the Cuthbertite's care for its final justice."

Taking the others aside, Jon states, "It appears we are not under a dire time pressure. I suggest we rest and approach in the morning. I have already depleted much of my strength today."

 

[Question]

"Ah but from the Skulk's word, it would seem this Kazmojen is "not like us". It seems to me that means that he isnt of a common race at the very least."
