The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter I

[Majin]

Despite the cries of his companions to leave the lizardman alive, Calenthang raises his sword again and brings it down in a death blow to the humanoid. (9 damage) The lizardman spasms and drops his shortspear to the ground before letting out a pathetic screech as it too, falls limp to the ground.

(OOC: Figured I should just fast forward combat a bit. Initiative order and Calenthang's action was all that was needed to end the encounter.)

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang looks down at the felled lizardmen, not wholly uncaring. With the danger passed, he looks to make sure everyone is alright, including the violated halflings. He then kneels down and wipes his blade clean in the grass, avoiding the others' eye contact.

 

[Verbatim]

Ayden Wyvernspur - Priest of Finder Wyvernspur

Ayden watched in almost slow motion as the wood elf turned after cutting one of their foes in twain and delivered another killing blow to the last lizardman as well.

The silence that suddenly enveloped them all was finally broken by a sob from the female halfling that had originally gotten their attention.

~Dark...Finder do not let what they have seen today haunt their dreams for the rest of their days...~

Quickly rushing over to them, Ayden kneels in front of them and speaks as soothingly as he can.

"Be at peace my friends for Finder sends his blessings upon you in this hour of need. I am Ayden, and these are my companions sent to help you and your people, and if I may..."

Reaching out slowly, Ayden places his hands on the beaten boy gently and begins singing a soft soothing melody, calling upon Finder as he does.

(OOC: Converting Comprehend Languages to CLW)

As the soft silvery light fades from his hands, Ayden checks to see how the boy is now.

Sielwoodan put his bow on his shoulder and turn around to calm down the Mule, and be sure he doesn't become too nervous at the sight of a fight. Then he walks up the group near the halflings and tell

"Well, good start if we wanted a diplomatic solution... How are they, Ayden? Do you needs help? I know first aid."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Meekis waits quietly for Softsqueek, as the priest seems to be taking good care of the injured littlefolk. He wants to know if she's seen any more enemies, or anything else of interest before they move on.*

 

[Chaos Apostate]

Caelbryn walks over to the halflings, slinging his bow back over his shoulder. "Greetings. I hope not too much damage was done, and may I apologise on behalf of the group for our rather late timing. Better late than never, though, as they say, and I am glad to see you all look relatively unharmed. If there is anything I or my companions can do to help at this stage, I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that you have only to ask." As Caelbryn delivers this little speech, he is slyly eying the fallen lizardmen to see if they were carrying anything of worth.

 

[Chaos Apostate]

Double Post, sorry folkses.

 

[Majin]

Softsqueak relays to Meekis that she did not see any lizardfolk or other threats in the immediate area. All is safe, for now...

Besides the longspears lying dropped at the lizardmen's side, Caelbryn notices an axe-shaped pendant around the neck of the largest lizardman. It is inlaid with mother of pearl and might sell for a modest sum.

The male halfling, upon being healed by Ayden (3 points) coughs a few times and begins opening his eyes. He starts for a moment, looking wildly around him for the lizardfolk who had nearly killed him. When he realizes that he is safe he visibly calms down and looks up at Ayden. "My name is Jakob Merrybrow. I thank you for saving my life." Pointing to the girl next to him he introduces her, "This is Maisy Booginsfoot, my gi-, a friend of mine." he stutters blushing a bit. "We were just uhm, rounding up goats, yeah that's right. We were rounding up goats when these lizardmen came and attacked us! They set fire to the haystack there and I was afraid they would toss us in!" Noticing Maisy's torn dress he blushes again, and stammers, "They tore her dress!" Maisy blushes herself at this remark, looking guiltily down to the ground. "They were so rough with her, I was afraid for her safety! I tried fighting the beasts, but they were too much for me. Oh if you hadn't come along we would have been those foul creature's lunch, I just know it!"

 

[Jarval]

Andreas casts a prestidigitation on each of the halflings, cleaning their clothes for them.

"I'm Andreas Darants. Pleased to meet you both." He shakes hands with first Jakob, then Maisy. "Do you want us to escort you back to your village? After all, I'm sure they'd be glad to see their two goatherds back... hold on, I don't see any goats..." He looks at the halflings with a raised eyebrow.

"Let me guess, the goats ran off when the lizardmen attacked, and you're sure they'll find their own way home before long? Or do you want us to help you look for them?" He suppresses a grin as he speaks, trying hard to look serious.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Ayden, can you make sure Jakob is alright? I am also a healer, and need to talk to Ms. Booginsfoot. " Drogo takes Maisy by the hand, and leads her a little ways from the group. He speaks softly in Halfling. "Don't worry about a thing. Ayden is a very competent healer. But listen. We've been hired by the mayor and the sherriff. We're meeting the mayor later today. Its very important we know all we can about the conflict with these lizardmen. I promise I won't mention your name or in any other way identify you, but its very important that you tell us exactly what happened today, before these Lizardment attacked you."
