Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

[Wool]

Thurst ignores the odd conversation, and turns his attention to watching the group's rear.

As an awkward pause settles on the group, everyone can hear the sounds of muffled conversation through the door.

 

[Fyrie Windlitened]

Mairan whispers to Aeshen "Go see if you can make out what they're saying and how many are over there."

(Aeshen posting from Fyrie's computer)

Upon hearing the voices, Aeshen shushes the party. He procedes to place his ear to the door, trying to make out what is being said in the room.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

[sblock=Aeshen posting from Fyrie's computer]There are several voices having what sounds like a calm conversation. Aeshen does not know the language, but he hears Draconic used regularly by the apprentices and Master Kunstler, and this sounds like it.[/sblock]

 

[Aeshen]

Aeshen moves toward the party, backing quietly away from the door. "I'm no expert, but I think they are speaking Draconic - it sounds relatively calm in there", Aeshen whispers. "Does anyone speak Draconic? If not I believe our diplomatic options are spent..."

 

[Vdou]

"I do." Ella heads toward the door with purpose

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

[sblock=What Ella hears]It is indeed Draconic. The following conversation is muffled, but audible:

"Six."

"Ha, you lose!"

"Damn."

"Four."

"Good luck with that."

"Shut up, I'm rolling."

"They're loaded anyway."

"Ha! You lose again!"

"Shut up already!"[/sblock]

 

[Vdou]

Ella listens intently for a moment and turns to face the group.

"For the life of me I don't understand the appeal of games involving dice." Ella softly mutters to herself.

[sblock=ooc]Is there any way to tell from the intonation or dialect what species is speaking?[/sblock]

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

[sblock=ooc]Ella doesn't have sufficient contact with species other than PHB player races to identify others. Plus, Draconic is very sibilant anyway, so everyone hisses constantly and sounds like they have a mouth full of drool, whatever their species.[/sblock]
