The Emperor of Solmaria

[Thanee]

Whatever it is, I don't care, it cannot get worse from here!

She then tries to get her face clean at least, using another Prestidigitation spell, if necessary.

 

[Majin]

Shadowleaf sighs in frustration and trains his bow towards the oncoming light. The guards finally catching up to us, or something else? He leans against a wall to steady himself from the sway of the sludge and waits for the first sign of their pursuers.

 

[silentspace]

Kinden follows Shadowleaf's lead, drawing his bow and leaning against the opposite wall.

 

[Thanee]

When those are the guards, then why are they ahead of us? Isn't that the direction we were going to, or have I lost my orientation?

 

[deadestdai]

Well whatever it is, it's terrifying enough for that swarm of rats and insects and whatever else that foul offle was to run from it! We should do likewise!

 

[hippocrachus]

"I've done enough running this day, thank you, minstrel. If our pursuers are ahead of us, then they must be using some magical means, which explains the swarm, I think." Xanthas turns back to the closing voices, waiting for better options...

 

[Thanee]

Lenya continues to clean herself meanwhile, with the use of her Prestidigitation spell, which probably is necessary.

 

[Li Shenron]

Aramil moves to the side of the tunnel, possibly to a shadowy spot, and takes an arrow out of his quiver to be ready in case of something attacks the party.

 

[Mithreander]

Much better! Midnoght entones as he lands on the newly cleaned shoulder of his mistress. But I can not say the same for your companions!

OOC: Yes, a spell would be necessary, or a good source of clean water... an abandant amount of clean water...

From around the corner comes a group of humanoid shapes, though what type is hard to fathom. They are covered in filth and sewage. Most are carrying torches and others carry swords, which , unlike the rest of them, are clean. There are a total of 5 of them, 3 with torches, 2 with swords. The two with swords are about 5 and a half feet tall, to 6 feet tall. The three behind those two range from 3 feet to 5 feet. They all stop on seeing you and the two infront look at you with glossy black eyes, which appear very human.

In orcish: "Aye, you's! What you doin' away from da 'ole? We's supposed to do da 'untin' today!" says one of the huamiods in front.

 

[hippocrachus]

Xanthas smiles at the irony of it all. I knew I should have studied other languages. He says to the rest of the party in general, still facing the group in front of him, "How many of you know what he's saying?" He smiles again at the creature that spoke.
