renau1g's Fort Belurian Adventure [Pathfinder]

[Leif]

Gnomiferous "Iffy" P. Quackenbush, Gnome Divine Sorcerer

Iffy looks at Maighan, and then slowly turns his head towards the elves, whereupon he jumps as if totally surprised. Then he looks back and forth between Maighan and the elves a few more times for added emphasis.

[Italics here do NOT mean a thought, but rather are just used to accenuate the slowness of his head-turning. ]

"And this creature attacked for the first time shortly after you took these elves prisoner," she remarks in a sort of half-question, half-statement.

"May I speak to them?"

"The creature attacked weeks after they were captured. As for the second question, I'm afraid not. His lordship has decreed that none shall speak to the prisoners until he decides their fate" Anna replies

Iffy, shielding his mouth with his hand, says to Rych in a stage-whisper, "Somebody remind me, just who are the good guys here??"

"The creature attacked weeks after they were captured. As for the second question, I'm afraid not. His lordship has decreed that none shall speak to the prisoners until he decides their fate" Anna replies

"Thus neatly depriving them of any chance to present their case. This is not just."

"Thus neatly depriving them of any chance to present their case. This is not just."

"Just or unjust that is all a matter of opinion. Was it just when they slew my husband?" Anna replies, her anger growing, then she stops for a moment and takes a deep breath.

"Tell you what. I'll go right now and try to convince Lord Henri to allow you a chance to speak to them, we tried before but we don't speak elven. The more immediate threat is the dragon or monster whatever you call it. Once you've taken care of it we can further discuss the prisoners. How does that sound?" she adds

"No, milady, that does not sound good to me at all! If we have already slain the dragon for the Lord and restored his peacable fiefdom to him, what incentive does he then have to deal with his Elven captives in a more humane way? This is not justice, is it? It sounds to me more like obtaining the Lord's desires by sharp dealing and subterfuge, and leaving these poor Elves at the mercy of his whims." Iffy sighs deeply, "Alas! I am but a simple Gnome, driven to and fro by my need for coin. Pay me more, and I am quite liable to promptly forget the plight of the Elves."

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I am afraid the Lord decides the law of this land and his Lordship is the declared ruler here. Until the ruler is is changed or if the lord has changed his law, It matters not. As for the loss of your husband, I truely regret that Miss anna. I am here to recover my brother. Now I have given my word to deal with the monster/dragon and will do so at my utmost skill, however if I see a resource, that i might tap into, I would see what I can do to get permission to do so. I personally accept your word that you will do what you cna do to allow us to speak with the elves. I would like to add that our purpose may be to plead their cas as well as hear what they have to say. Do you find that accepptable?"

The warrior stand facing her looking her in the eye to gage the sincerity of her words as to his response, water pouring off of him from the persistant rain.

OOC: I will let you roll his sense motive to see if there is deception in her respose: Sense Motive +13

 

[Rhun]

Baelor rolls his eyes at the discussion, bored by all the talk. "If you are all gonna stay here, I'll do a little scouting and find where the thunderbeast went." With that the dwarf heads toward the trail that leads into the jungle.

Iffy surreptitiously makes the "knock it off!" sign to Vernon, hoping that he (Iffy) can secure a bigger fee from Lord Henri for this job. And then, if Vernon so chooses, he can spend his extra money to free the bloody Elves.

Iffy also salutes Baelor's departing form. "There goes a Brave Dwarf! Impatient and Foolish, but Brave!"

 

[Rhun]

Baelor ignores his companion's remark and continues forward.
