The Adventurer's Guild

[Goel]

I'd like to kill that slimy punk but I don't think I can catch him in this swamp.

The frog manages to hop away, then.

As you take a short breather, (let me know how many surges you spend), you glance around and easily see the entrance to the cave up ahead. (North of where you are now.) Just in front of the cave entrance, you see another reptilian creature, much like the mystic you defeated earlier. However, this one is not threatening you, or even moving at all. He/she is sitting calmly on a log watching you, with his hands gently folded in his lap.

GM: You may make any rolls you wish (perception/insight, etc.) or go talk to him, or whatever you like.

Sledge walks towards the lizard "thing" with open hands (no weapons) and speaking in common says "we are looking for the healing waters."

OOC: I take one healing surge putting me back to 59/61

 

[Nicodemous]

I approach this lizard with arms out and ask for his help. "Friend, might we seek your guidance. We are looking for the waters in this cavern that bring life and healing. Are you willing to help us? We regret that these other folk were so...quarrelsome. We aren't looking for trouble."

I take two more surges to return to 54 hp.

GM: You may make any rolls you wish (perception/insight, etc.) or go talk to him, or whatever you like.

OOC: I make a perception roll......yeaaaaahhh...that didn't go so well! I also spend 3 surges giving me 33 hit points. That should be 42 hit points total?

			Hello there Lizard Friend. You seem much more easy going than that last chap, and I'm glad to see that. We're hoping that you can point us in the right direction. We seem to be a bit off track.

OOC: 2 surges to 36hp

The reptilian remains sitting on the log, with his hands open and palms upward. He sees you, but does not seem threatened by you at all. He almost looks as if you have only recently awaken him from a nap. He turns to you and starts speaking. The words are a very rough form of Common, and there are syllables you can't make out, but you manage to piece together the gist of what he is saying.

"I am Kroon. You are...not so smart, eh?" The he laughs a low, jolly laugh and closes his eyes. He seems to go off into a trance for a few moments.

When he opens his eyes again, he seems almost surprised that you are still there. He speaks once again: "The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives." He laughs once more and closes his eyes.

 

[Harumph]

			Welp! You'd probably know more about drinking swamp water than I would, Kroon old buddy! Where did you say the cave was again?

 

[bluesfella]

			Welp! You'd probably know more about drinking swamp water than I would, Kroon old buddy! Where did you say the cave was again?

Kroon eyes the ranger contemptuously, points his webbed hand at the entrance to the cave next to him, and says "If one is looking for a fish, one should not climb a tree".

After a moment, Kroon turns back to the rest of the party.

"You walked onto sacred ground while Peth was praying. He asked you to leave...why did you kill him?"

 

[Harumph]

			I'm afraid we don't speak Peth's language, and apparently Peth didn't speak ours. We tried to communicate with him but he responded by attacking and he drew first blood. It was an unfortunate accident.
