The Drow War Book One - Chillhame

[Ranger Rick]

Seeing Kyalia stand tall and meanancing, Dolan goes to also stand next to the Bard.

Laurel adds in a comment to the talkative humanoids, "We followed a trail from where the children vanished to a battle site in a strand of trees. The trails then split in two directions, and one trail led here.

"Are you denying that anyone here participated in a battle? Or has seen the children?"

There is a lengthy pause before the voice speaks again, ”Warning shots! You nearly killed two of my brothers, enough talk if you wish to deal with my war-party then you must meet our terms, I will spare your lives for 50 gold coins; you attacked without warning or cause! You choose, 50 gold coins or death.”

Saxon frowns. He removes the gold coin he had placed in a pocket earlier and flips it, catches it, and flips it again.

"Do we have a preferred outcome here? I believe they would have charged a similar price for the information had we come on peaceful terms regardless. I have no qualms however if we 'lack' the money to satiate them, and must resort to less subtle means. One of them will be willing to talk with such persuasion," Saxon illustrates to his comrades, "That is assuming they don't have superior numbers though."

Mzarem trots back over to plonk himself down beside the druid.

Kyalia

[ELVEN] “I can't say, if they had anything to do with it, or whether they are holding the children hostage. And for all we know, they might actually have fought against the shadow goblins back there.” [/ELVEN]

 

[Ranger Rick]

[ELVEN] “I do not know about them fighting the shadow goblins Kaylia, but I have no money Offer them half and see if money in hand is enough. We can always talk to them later about any future event.” [/ELVEN]

[ooc sense motive +4, he seems to be dodging the question about children but could be just finagling for money]

"Your warriors live because we chose to give you a peaceful option. Elven archers can kill from a league away in daylight or in darkness. I say again, return the kidnapped children or we will slay every child stealer."

[bluff +7]

 

[Endur]

Laurel calls out, "We will happily pay the fifty gold coins for the safe return of the children. As a finders fee.

"Or, if you don't have the children, but know where they are, we'll give you fifty gold coins once the children are safely rescued from where they have gone."

Enthalus gets the impression he may know something about the children. His Bluff check is 13.

The voice speaks again, “We do not fear elves nor their bows, my trophy room is decorated with the heads of many elves that have fallen at my feet! You dare make war on the Split-Ear War band?”

The voice pauses before speaking again, “You little time, elves, choose death or pay us for your transgression then we may speak of these man-children…”

Saxon flips the coin again, then digs in his money purse for additional coinage.

[elven]"I have nine gold, as much as I dislike to part with it,"[/elven] the coins clink against one another as he drops them into his palm, [elven]"I like your idea Laurel, but do we have fifty coins among us?"[/elven]
