[QUOTE="Tecklenburg, post: 6629389, member: 6781356"] I will definitely ask what happened to Saerie's sacred bow. When she tells me the sad tale, I'll ask her to please take mine. It has also been in my family a long time. It would honor me if she used it. I grieve quietly at they pyre-site and offer up a silent prayer to the primal spirits of this world who have no doubt already taken in the trusty dog. Afterward I say to Saerie; "He had not many moments left in his already long-lived life. It is good that he perished on a road of adventure amidst caring companions rather than in that ruined hall at the hands of the abomination. I am grateful for this." "I very much agree. We cannot stay here. I also think that we should make the hard trek to the interior now. If we must pass it, we should do it now while the Fey Crossing isn't reinforced. These are hard children used to a hard world. They will do fine I believe." This is a good chance to speak to the value of mercy to the two goblins. I make sure Exel and Xanob to be involved in this conversation. After I meet the prisoner and we exchange our ominous omens, I suggest that we show him mercy. I will speak in the elven tongue to Saerie and then I will translate it to goblin for Exel and Xanob. "We will find the refugee family held in this Coldland settlement and put an end to this Far Realm Threat. We will then secure the other refugee family at Earthmaw. Once the mountain pass is again traversable, we will take the two remaining families of World's End to Giliad's Rest. I'm sure we are agreed on this. Perhaps new settlers will come during the next thaw and try to rebuild, but it is a ruin without chance for renewal right now." I point to the young man tied to the chair. "I sense this young man can be turned from his dark ways and possibly be a valuable asset to the people of Giliad's Rest. He can pay the proper penance for his crimes and help rebuild the lives that his father worked to destroy. And the people whom he has wronged can administer their own justice. I have seen young men who were born into their father's cruelty and wickedness reformed. It is not without precedence. It will make our journey more difficult, yes, but I vote we take him with us." If we have to roll their Loyalty to get them to strike out into the night: [sblock]Loyalty 5, 1 + 1 = 7 They do it for now, but come back with serious demands later. Meet them or the hireling quits on the worst terms.[/sblock] Definitely a good idea to have Saerie leading things. The faster we move here, the better. [sblock]Scout (Wis) 5, 4 + 0 (possibly + 1 for DoE) = 9 or 10 If I can take advantage of DoE, it is a 10 +, otherwise it is a 7-9.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
