Slitz pokes Aldreneth's fullplate and says, "Fakessscaless!" "Fakessscales!"

Excitedly turns to Laguz and eyes narrow, "Whatss thisss you sssay?" "Skitz not know magic. Can't Blackhaired make that picture BIGGER?!?!" "Or do you just have thossse fancy ssspellsss that Skitz sssee Blackhaired made people ssscream and ssshout in pain? Skitz like thossse. Sssoo preatty colorsss too"


OOC: Aldreneth, Laguz, and I sense a feeling of enhanced sense (Draconic Aura [Sense# +2 Listen, Spot, Initiative])

Hopping off the table, Slitz goes over to Aldreneth and says, "Anywaysss, if you get bigger magical picturesss, then Skitz will help pay for itsss. Skitz likes to hide but is noisy too. Skitz gets anxious at times."

Smile

Laguz smiles at Slitz, "Settle down my friend... Aldreneth is right. Often archers are just the first line of a larger group. And we must never underestimate the force of weaklings in large groups. Our objective is to find the Paladin, and if that means by passing the archers then that is what we must do... Let's see what information we can find and then plan from there." Laguz motions to the barkeep, "another round of ale, and some of that roast you have cooking in back. The smell of it has my stomach grumbling." Laguz wipes his hand through the air over the table and the left over messes and stains disappear. It looks almost clean enough to eat off of.
 

Tonight is a slow night at the Drunken Morkoth Inn and so when Laguz calls for the roast and ale the barkeep just nods and gets to work on it. Not even more than two minutes after the request a short slightly plump lady with short ruly red hair walks up to the table and sets the plate and mug down without a word. The lady looks at Slitz, with a puzzled look on her face, but says nothing as she heads back to the bar.



OOC: Given Aldreneth doesn't wanna meet at the other inn then The Drunken Morkoth is the next best known place to go.

As for his question that would be correct. I had a few possibly starting plans and momentarily forgot what one I chose. Slitz, Laguz, and Xerxes (when he returns) all know eachother fairly well as they have been traveling for a couple years now. Those three know they are evil but, considering the forming legends around town, would most likely assume Aldreneth to be good or neutral at best. Meanwhile Aldreneth knows nothing as of yet about the other three. (something I have no doubt will be changing in time).

Oh, and Laguz. Unlike on PBW this site does not require a title to each post. You can keep using them out of habit or leave them off.
 

Memories and Ale

Slitz sighs, "Slitz thinksss Blackhaired and Fakesscaless needsss to hear storyss of "Blackblood, Killer of Thousandsss." Slitz puffs out chest and has his crest straighten, appears to be acting tough. He acts like he is holding a big two handed club and swings with bravo.

"Blackblood isss a Blackssscale that ruless tribe Slitz was in. He isss mighty leader and very strong. Blackblood killsss many by pounding ssskullsss with hisss mighty club. One day Blackblood wasss cornered by furry dog-humans with bowsss and swordsss. Blackblood got angry and had Skitz attack without mercy. Skitz killed many while Blackblood killed 2 tribesss worth."

"You ssseee, we can win if we get angry like Blackblood." Skitz settles down and starts chewing on the mug. He smiles as he remembers that glorous day. As quick as he goes into his memories, his crest seems to get closer to his skin. His eyes narrow and looks around the room...especially the redhaired lady.
 

Aldreneth frowns as Slitz calls him 'Fakescales.' "If you would, I'd rather not be called that. It doesn't even make sense. Maybe if I wore scale armor, it would, but this is plate." He stops and sighs.

His frown furthers as Slitz boasts about the skill of himself and his leader. "That is good to know," he says, "But it is more prudent to not be bloodthirsty, as your friend agrees."

Aldreneth does not drink any ale. Accustomed to water, he is fine with that. He eats little, not caring about the food as they discuss their plan. He does pause occasionally to feed the owl perched on his shoulder small bites of meat.

OOC: Is Laguz basically the leader of their group of three, or is it someone else, assuming they even have one?

[SBLOCK=Knowledge]Also, in trying to determine what the Vat...'s Voice is [can't read the name], if I know anything about it and if there is any way to get there and identify it beyond using just the map on the back of the tablet:
Kn (local) check (1d20+13=32)
Bardic Lore (1d20+7=10) [Oops, should only be +5 for a total of 8]

You said not necessary to post everything, but just as easy to copy/paste the link.

Slitz frowns, seems hurt by Aldreneth statement. He seems to perk up abit and say, "Slitz keep tribe waysss. Fakessscaless tribe not have wayssss?" "Slitz tribe give ssspecial namesss to important warriorsss. Slitz carriesss Slitz name with pride." Pointing to self and puffing up body and stiffening his crest, "Slitz getsss name by tough ssskin. Skitz done with battlesss with ssscratchesss. Big battlesss Slitz comesss back lonely."

"Slitz givesss Fakesscalesss name becaussse Fakessscaless hasss metal clothesss and Slitz hears Fakessscalesss hero of city like dragon for tribe." Pointing to Laguz while still facing Aldreneth, "Slitz givesss Blackhaired name becaussse of sly like black dragon. Slitz likesss Blackhaired tricksss of magic too."

"Slitz likess fightsss and tricksss too. Slitz tellsss sstoriesss like tricksss. Ssspecial meaning in sstoriesss. Slitz likesss sstoriesss too."

Slitz gets closer to Aldreneth and stares questionly at the owl on his shoulder. Thinks it odd that one would keep food on its shoulder, let alone never saw it till now. "Slitz think bird on shoulder isss strange. Why doesss Fakesscalesss have bird on shoulder? Is Fakesscalesss using magic trickss like Blackhaired?"
 

"Slitz..." Laguz says in an authoritative tone, "don't pester our new companion. We all come from different backgrounds, and we must respect that."

Laguz turns to Aldreneth, "You must excuse Slitz. He can be a little crude at times, part of his reptilian nature, I guess."

Laguz turns back to Slitz, "Angry has it's time and place, but so does subtlety and thoughtfulness. We are new this town, so I think it best if we take Aldreneth's advice for the moment."


OOC: I don't about the character yet to come, but Laguz has a higher CHA then Slitz, so he would be more likely to be a leader.
 

Draconic Aura: Senses (+2 Listen, Spot, Initative)

Slinks back in chair, "Slitz sssorry. Slitz try being helpful."

Slitz looks at his halfchewed mug and tosses it in the air, and catches it again. He does that a few times before looking back at Laguz and Aldreneth, "Slitz sorry, forgot plansss about the enemiesss." After tossing his mug up in the air again and catching it, he pauses again, sadly saying mostly to himself, "Too bad Slitz can't fly like dragonsss, makesss catching paladinsss easssier."

OOC: Laguz is by far smarter then your average human (and Slitz). Slitz has realized that, and thus rose Laguz up to become Chieftian of the group. Slitz is now seeing who will become chieftian, Laguz or Aldreneth and how they will decide it and who will dominate over the other. Of course, a nice battle over who would be chieftian would be most fun to watch (as they always are)

I have sent Aldreneth the results of his check. As far as Xerxes goes, he will be more of the second in command type. One to assume leadership when there is no other around to do so.

Laguz and Aldreneth are up to thier own choices on how to settle overall leadership though :)
