The Adventurer's Guild

[bluesfella]

As you are gathering up the bulging waterskins and making your preparations to leave, Kroon steps into the doorway. He stands there for a moment, surveying the broken statue, the puddle of goo, and the puddles of water around the well (from emptying your other waterskins), and shakes his head slowly.

"You are...messy. Young and foolish. Did you find the...wisdom...you sought?"

Pointing at the shattered statue, he says "And are you going to clean that up?"

As you are gathering up the bulging waterskins and making your preparations to leave, Kroon steps into the doorway. He stands there for a moment, surveying the broken statue, the puddle of goo, and the puddles of water around the well (from emptying your other waterskins), and shakes his head slowly.

"You are...messy. Young and foolish. Did you find the...wisdom...you sought?"

Pointing at the shattered statue, he says "And are you going to clean that up?"

			We wish a cure from this poison that afflicts us. Can you help us with this? As far as cleaning up goes, I'd be happy to help with this mess, for help with a cure...

 

[bluesfella]

Kroon looks at the ranger and his eyes narrow. "You have your cure already" he says, pointing to one of the waterskins. "This sanctuary has been here for many seasons, and in one hour you have done...this." He points at the broken statue again.

"You humans do not know respect...or wisdom." He says sadly, then turns and walks away.

 

[Harumph]

Mallick walks up to the well, cups his hands, dips them into the water, and drinks deeply.

He then investigates the debris, wondering what could be done to set it right.

 

[bennage]

Brocc is lost in his own world, pouring over the notes for the ritual. He's barely aware that Kroon is speaking or even the fact that the party is still in the cave.

 

[Goel]

"I can't fix the statue but at least I can clean up the mess" Sledge grabs broken chunks of the statue and heads out of the cave.

 

[bennage]

Suddenly aware of the situation, Brocc tries to think of an appropriate recompense for the party's disturbance of a sacred site.

OOC: Natural 20 baby!

 

[Nicodemous]

I feel no shame in defending ourselves or exploring this cave. Speaking to Kroon as he walks away,

"Perhaps if you had been more forthcoming in warning us about what lie inside of this cave, this destruction wouldn't have been necessary. Where is the wisdom in your silence? You gave us no indication of cube within and yet you are dismayed that a battle has ensued. We were just and sincere in our questions to you and you let us wander into danger. We were justified in our actions, so save your lecture."

Nicodemus stands firm and will not cower to the lecturing of Kroon. Not proud, but angered at Kroon's superior attitude after having let us go potentially to our deaths.

 

[bluesfella]

Responding to the Paladin, Kroon pauses a moment and turns back to face him. "Kroon hoped for humans to have better manners. You did not smash the statue in battle...you were clumsy and arrogant." He sighs and looks off into the distance sadly. "Kroon thinks you will learn manners soon."

Kroon walks away, leaving the group to themselves.

Brocc thinks that the best way to clean up the mess would be to either remove the broken statue completely, or fill in the statue's base with the rubble.

 

[Nicodemous]

(bending down and drinking from the pool)...I wouldn't expect much help from him, my friends. He acts as though he has the moral high ground, yet ignores his treachery on us. He likes to speak in riddles when our lives are on the line, but speaks rather clearly to admonish us for a broken statue. I think the little lizard wanted us to die in here. Let's get moving.

Brocc...how are your eyes? Feeling any better now that you've had some of this water?
