Planescape - Dead God Rising

[Nalfeshnee]

The prisonrs take the food, devouring it thoughtlessly. One of them - the human male - nods in gratitude but does not eat. He gives his peice to the femae human, who eats it hungrily. The chaond stares at the pair, but does not act.

The human male then speaks in a quiet, low voice.;Thank you. We feared no one would find us down here.'

 

[Dire Lemming]

Kyran is surprised by the man's coherance and takes another look at him, of course there's more than one type of barmy. "Ah, well you've actually got some of the kidnappers to thank for that. The berks tried to scrag us and they lanned us of this place." He looks at the others with concern, "What were they doing down here?"

 

[Nalfeshnee]

'Some kind of body trade.'

'The slavers werent ones to rattle their bone-boxes, and when they did it was mostly barmy words they spewed, but i think you've heard the extent of my lann straight frim that barmy. He was the leader - though im sure theres a high-up that all these leatherheads answer to. Been carting poor sods like us in and out of this place for ages now. Ive - me and my wife - have been here for days, weeks, cannot remember. They brought them down here and took them away duwn that trapdoor. Most of the prisoners were kept caged here for a day i think, maybe two. None were here for longer. Some tried to give them the laugh, but they ended up dead, or worse... I dont know why they kept me and Shemi caged for so long. But its over now. You will be rewared all of you for what you have done here.'

 

[Dire Lemming]

Kyran watches the man carefully as he talks, looking for any sign of overt barmyness other than his surprisingly talkative personality given the circumstances. "So this is your wife, Shemi then?" he says, indicating the woman next to him? "Is she alright? She seems ill. And what of the others?"

 

[Nalfeshnee]

The man nods, 'Just hungry... and scared, is all.'

 

[Dire Lemming]

"Well alright, we'll get you out of here as soon as possible- er, I'm sorry, I don't believe I got your name." After he gets his answers he moves to the human woman. He speaks in a gentle voice, "Are you alright? How did you get here in the first place?

This guy sure doesn't seem all that crazy. Hm, Sense Motive Check

Also, just to make sure these folks don't think they're famous people or something, has Kyran heard their names before? Knowledge Checks

And I know this is late but just to make sure Kyran knows what Vhai'ik's crazy rant was about; more knowledge checks

Tyrjon

In silence, Tyrjon paces slowly around the room, his blade still dripping with the thick ichor of the dark priest. Lost in thought, only the occassional sideways glance at Rubious and Vhai'ik's bloody ruin break his measured stride. His face becomes as stone as a single word forms in his mind.

Tenebrous.

Circling the room, Tryjon eventually finds his way back to Rubious's side and with every step feels the weight of the Spire slowly descend upon his shoulders...

"If it is true... if something of Tenebrous survives in th' Red Prison... I can scarcely imagine a greater threat to the Great Ring. I pray it is no more than barmy screed... but seein' the Dustman's symbol on that berk is a dark omen indeed. Who knows the darks of th' dead better than the Dustmen? How many Dustmen would leap from the Spire for a chance to learn the darks from a God o' Death?"

"Particularly his darks."

"You know the power he weilded."

"I don't see the Dustmen's involvement as an 'if', but I'm wonderin' just how high up that involvement goes..."

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Noch the Shadowswyft

Noch looks at Tyrjon for a moment and says, "Red Prison, Carceri."

 

[Nalfeshnee]

Rubious turns to Tyrjon, 'Any factol with half a brain would know that the one called Tenebrous offers n ought but screed. Even were he not destroyed, he would care about nothing more than himself and keeping and expanding his power. Tenebrous killed many deities in his short life, and had he not been destroyed... who knows what would have happened.'

'I cannot believe that the Dustmen have fallen to this madness. I cannot. But, the temptation of learning the full nature of True Death from its ultimate osure would be too great for many to see through, to see the foolishness of takeing the owrd of an entity so evil. But Tenebrous is dead, destroyed by the righteous years ago.

'But dead gods have been known to not stay dead; perhaps a part of him survives in Carceri?' he says with a grave look on his face.

 

[Nalfeshnee]

The prisoner looks at Kyran. 'I never gave it, brave man...'

he pauses for a moment than offeres his hand, 'Marquis De Mere. I was inspecting property in the Lower Ward when... we were ambushed and picked up by these leatherheads.'

[sblock=Kyran]OOC: to yout knowledge he is saying the truth, though you cannot remember the name from anywhere, though there are many nobles in the Lady's Ward and its unlikely you know them all. Also, you do have bardic knowledge you know.

You understood enoug of the story to keep up with the conversation. Vhai'ik mentioned Carceri (the Red Prison) and Tenebrous (the deific entity that was created by Orcus)[/sblock]
