Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

- Start date
Thurst forms a mental picture of himself with the ratling tails tied to his beard, like some sort of creature of horror. After a moment's reflection he decided it would probably scare his companions more than any enemy ratlings they went up against. Well, let's not rule anything out.
Making up his mind, Thurst forms the tails into a simple fetish and ties them to his belt. He snorts, "Do I look like a barbarian?" He looks dubiously at the chain shirt, although it would be better to smell like a ratling than be killed by one.
While the group decides what course of action to take, Thurst examines the gong, then examines the unused door, careful not to get too close.
[sblock=ooc]Is this the light armor chain shirt, +4ac, +4 max dex bonus? Is it too small for Aeshen?
Is Thurst able to aproximate how far the sound of the gong would carry?

"Even if we hid the bodies... Well, I mean... You know if someone were to come looking for or check on this.. guardpost?" Ella pauses for a moment and then continues, still slightly shaken from the past melee "...and they weren't here, hidden or not it would raise an alarm... speaking of which, I believe the alarm has already been sounded... though it certainly wasn't... a ... large sound."

[sblock=ooc]The chain shirt is sized small. Unless you're a ratling, halfling (same thing, really), gnome or kobold, it's too small for you.
And the gong should have carried a good way away, instead of making the muffled noise that it did.[/sblock]

First Post
Mairan rolls her eyes slightly as the party debates moving the bodies. She moves wordlessly to the closest ratling and hefts it easily onto her shoulders, moving it to a pile of refuse large enough to hide it.
"It won't hurt anything to just hide em, and we could be done before we finished discussing the benifits of doing so...", she says with a grunt as she drops the foul-smelling creature to the ground before covering the remains with trash.
After Mairan has hidden the ratlings she moves toward the door that the Ratling ran into and returned from, "Seems to me there is probably something interesting in here, and it seems unlikely there are more ratlings in there or they'd already be dead in here." She waits for the party's approval before opening the door.

Aeshen nods in approval of Mairan's logic and sets about hiding a body himself. While he is pushing trash onto his newly-positioned ratling he says, "I've wondered about the gong. I was standing right here and when the ratling whacked it with his spear it barely made a sound", he steps back and looks at his handiwork on the ratling, nodding his acceptance.
"I'm no Bard," He begins, waiting for the chuckle to subside, "so I can't tell you much about gongs, but maybe you have to hit it with the beater. Can any of you see if the gong or beater has any magic about it? Wouldn't that make it even more likely that one had to be hit with the other specifically?"

[sblock=ooc]The gong is way too big to stick into a bag.[/sblock]
Thurst snorts, "Aye, I could do it. At the expense of one of yer lives later." He squints at Valana, and then Ella, "Probably one of yours."
"As for why the gong wasn't very loud earlier...You see the key is resonance, you need..." Thurst goes into excruciating detail explaining how percussion works.
At seeing the annoyed and befuddled looks on his group members' faces, Thurst coughs to himself and agrees that the path proven to have no immediate threat might indeed be a good place to start.
[sblock=ooc]Yeah that was lazy, I don't feel like getting into it myself.
Thurst isn't a bard, but it is still a scientific/technology subject, is it not? It is enough for me to know how it works without remembering how to explain it at least!
If you don't agree, we can pretend he was talking out of his rear end.
Edit: I couldn't resist, too mean, too funny.
