Message: <blockquote data-quote="Isida Kep'Tukari" data-source="post: 4032154" data-attributes="member: 4441">[sblock=Valerian]While you are searching for other fragments of the maurader to check for any more oddities, you realize quickly that something is wrong.  The head is missing.  From the damage Maavnod did to the maurader, the head should be completey intact, if separated from the body, but it seems to be missing.  Careful combing of the site finally turns up a single footprint you remember from the town of Ulman, as well as Arrgha'n's prior tracking.  There's a single filcher footprints in the dust next to the imprint of what was probably the head.  It seems to have been stolen.[/sblock]  "No bloody clue," she says, eyes darting about for danger.  "Trap or attack...  Delaying trap?  Maybe."  She seems to be thinking out loud.Arrgha'n peers far into the forest, but sees nothing moving in the shadows either in the trees or on the ground.  [sblock=Arrgha'n]The high pitched whining sound you recall from back in Ulman, where you saw the last murder.  While Maavnod was investigating the alley, that noise sounded briefly.[/sblock]Irthos' grunt seems to be enough of an affirmative for Kurst, and he points at the iced kobold and speaks a word of terrible power that seems to rip the night.  There's a moment of utter stillness, and then the ice surrounding Irthos cracks into a dozen pieces, dumping the kobold to the ground.  Irthos is stunned for a long moment, and realizes quickly that he cannot hear a thing.  The sharp senses he's so used to are as stunned as he was from the power of the word.Everyone else's ears ring, but it quickly fades into the forest.  The sound brings several of the Blademark defenders from the wagon circle."What in the name of the Host was that?  Did you find who was attacking us?" the captain asks, sword at the ready.[sblock=OOC]Irthos, rolled poor for you again on your Fort save (sorry, the dice did not love you today) and you were stunned for one round and will be deafened for a minute.  You took 2 points of subdual damage from falling out of the tree.  But on the plus side, you're no longer encased in ice![/sblock]</blockquote>
