[QUOTE="Binks, post: 6671454, member: 6775039"] As I take in the padlocked cages and the tortured faces within, I look for keys either haphazardly dropped on the table or hung on the wall. I really don't want to go back outside and deal with the deep freeze anymore than I have to as my aching bones are beginning to thaw. I'm hoping that they aren't on the fricasseed corpses of the Taskmasters. Once you let me know if they're here or outside, I"ll update this post... I'll grab them while Otthor is doing his introduction in the below post. Then I'll get in my pack and quickly grab 10 of the 21 Dungeon Rations I have. I'll neatly lay them out on the table, 1 portion for each person. They're going to need a meal's worth of energy to take on the hard trek down the mountain path. Is there enough cold weather gear for these ten amongst the mended furs and clothes here? I'm sure the clans have more. Especially now that their numbers are fewer... I'll talk to Three Bird about securing enough gear for these folks. When Otthor nods to me, I step forward. I place the extra breeches and tunics in front of each cage, matching them up to the size of the person the best I can. Once that is done, I'll set about moving to unlock the cages as I address them. "No doubt you have heard the fighting." <click goes a lock> "As you can see, we come as liberators." <click goes a lock> "Amongst your people there has been a festering disease for some time." <click goes a lock> "That disease has ended today." <click goes a lock> "Ranyon Argoth's Far Realm worshipping cult will no longer infest your people." <click goes a lock> "Unfortunately..." <click goes a lock> "Although he and his wicked followers are gone, his pestilence has poisoned this land... <click goes a lock> "Which means that everyone has to leave... <click goes a lock> "Within the hour." <click goes a lock> "Fear not. Your wise and powerful druid Three Bird and his circle will lead you safely down the mountain to Giliad's Rest." <click goes a lock> With the final lock opened, I'll stand back. "Have no fear. Come out, put on these clothes, and get some food in your bellies. Given how hard your lives have been as of late, I suspect the day's travel will seem an easy thing to you." I smile softly, give them their space and try to hold back a tear. I walk up to Otthor, get close and whisper to him. "Please go see Three Bird. These people are not provisioned for such a journey. I'm afraid many, or none at all, would make it in this state with such lack of preparedness. See what he can do, my friend. If nothing can be done about it then I'm afraid they would be better off staying behind..." After about fifteen minutes of everyone eating, I'll sit with the refugee family from World's End Bluff so I can talk to them and find out what their boy knows. We can handle that tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
