The Banewarrens

[Uriel]

Verakka looks back and says 'Perhaps we should interrogate the Thing.'

 

[perivas]

"Very impressive, Malikar! Your skills are almost as great as your dedication. If I were a bard, a long bawdy ballad would be spun for this tale." Morden laughs at the end of his statement.

 

[Keia]

Titus shakes his head, blue giants still dancing in the shadows. "I'm sure it will be as forthcoming as the female orc. Perhaps we return it to the church for questioning. They have much better tools than I to deal with finding information from it."

 

[Hammerhead]

Well, we were tracking a lamia. More importantly, there were two possibilities: it was an illusion, or it was real. If it was real, we would all be dead. Therefore, I had to believe otherwise. Malikar then retrieves some rope from his pack and starts tying the creature up. [Use Rope +3]

 

[Krug]

"IMpressive," says Krug. He checks to see what the Lamia has and divests it of all its items.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Apart from the strange bottle held in her hands, the lamia also has a pouch with 232gp. She also wears a bone ring which appears unremovable.

The lamia appears securely bound by the rope, but getting her out of the pit would require some doing (the canine lower torso appears heavy).

Verakka scouts the north side of the pit. A door leads back to the great chamber, but a hallway leads west to a another chamber (the only unexplored area outside the sealed door). A twelve-foot-tall statue of a helmed warrior, made of interlocking metal plates, stands like a vigilant guard in this chamber.

 

[perivas]

Morden looks over the vigilant guardian and makes a suggestion. "Let's leave the guardian alone. I suspect that it is admirably performing its intended duty. Let us spend more efforts questioning the lamia instead."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"What ever happened to Killing the hellbeast?" Fallon says not getting anywhere near it. "My power will not hold her much longer. We need to kill her now."

 

[Hammerhead]

Good work, friend. However, we wish to interrogate her and learn more of this plot. Also, we wish to avoid if possible the killing of intelligent creatures, even ones as vile and corrupt as the lamia. She would be foolish to try to attack us when restrained and surrounded.

Had his judgement of Fallon been correct? His advice seemed questionable, at the least. Perhaps he was merely afraid of the powers of such a beast as the Lamia, Malikar reflects.

 

[Krug]

"Yes I agree. We still need her for questioning. And to kill a defenceless foe..." says Krug. He continues to examine for traps.
