The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter I

[Majin]

Trond raises his eyebrows, glancing at Ayden and Mosslime as Ayden speaks to the lizard-like creature. Deducing what they may be talking about Trond speaks up, "As for your friend Mosslime there, I'm not sure how the rest of the village will receive him. They will most likely be fearful and mistrusting. I see things a bit differently. He may have an easier time than most befriending them or getting information, the lizardfolk that is. Of this I cannot be sure, as he doesn't much look like one, but there is some similarity there. I would be careful though, as they may see him as an invading threat in their habitat instead."

"As for your room and board, you'll have to speak with Froobert, the owner of the inn. He's on the town council as well, so you'll be able to speak with him once you arrive at the municipal building. I'm sure it shouldn't be a problem though, since your helping us out and all."

 

[Verbatim]

Nodding his head to the sheriff, Ayden quickly apologized for his possible social slip.

"I did not mean to appear rude sir, but you are correct in my being worried for Moss. I know that he can take care of himself, but some habits die hard."

Calenthang furrows his brow at the mention of drow, he merely nods to Meekis in reply.
After hearing what the sheriff has to say he remains optimistic about his vacation. I've matched my sword against the lizardfolk before...well, kind of...
"I pressume we will stay here tonight?" he looks to Trond.

 

[Majin]

"Yes you all will stay here tonight and make the short trip to Orchard Meadows in the morning. As for myself, I'm afraid I will not be staying. I have some other business to attend to at the village as well as setting up a meeting with the Mayor and council for you. If I leave shortly I should be able to get to the Mayor first thing in the morning, so he and the rest of the council, myself included, will be available to meet with you upon your arrival. Are there any other questions before I take my leave of you until tommorrow?"

*Meekis shakes his head at Trond's request for questions, and waits until he leaves before standing up on his chair.*

"We plan?" he suggests. "Some scouting, observing, watching from a distance might reveal much as why the lizardment behave like they do."

 

[Velmont]

"Scouting is in my abilities, and I had once or twice had to guide people in swamps, so it is not an unfamiliar world. I am willing to help. If we have to fight, I must tell you that I don't know if I will fight on the front line. I am use to hunt with bow, but not really to fight in melee. And I would prefer we avoid any fight at all, it is not good for general health."

 

[Chaos Apostate]

"Without a better idea of the precise situation, I can do nothing except voice my concurrence. Thorough reconaissance is essential, and if we do not succeed in discovering the cause of the lizardfolk's discontent we can at least take the opportunity to dispose of a few on our way out. Altogether a satisfactory arrangement." Caelbryn then sits back and takes a sip of his wine, contemplating what interesting and valuable possessions may present themselves during the course of his 'scouting'. He then remembers that he will, in fact, be dealign with a tribe of lizardfolk in the middle of a swamp and makes a mental note to get some gold added on top of whatever the mayor wants to pay him.

"I am good at hiding, and places that I can't go Softsqueek can," Meekis says, taking out his bat familiar and holding her between his cupped hands. She squeeks at everyone once politely then returns to the deep gnome's pocket. "And I know somethings about magic as well."

 

[Verbatim]

As the others began to voice their various skills, Ayden looked over to see if the sheriff was listening intently as well.

Sensing that now was as good as time as any to introduce himself to the others, Ayden took a quick drink of water and spoke.

"Hopefully, with a little effort and Tymora's good graces, we can get to the heart of the matter peacefully with the lizard men people. However, should conflict be unavoidable, Finder has granted me the ability to draw upon him for assistance, but I will admit, I am still a mere novice in his faith."

"Ah, I suppose there is some reward for a job well done. We adventurers need to eat, too."

"I have some scouting ability as well. At some point, though, we'll probably have to confront them & find out what they're angry about."
