The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

A lizardman guard emerges from the blackened stump and makes his way over to the party. "I am Ssyndin. I have been commanded to bring you to the last area the wraith creature was spotted at. When you are ready we will be on our way."

"That's nice, but if you have buy any chance a way to enchant those arrows, even for the time of the battle, I think I would do a better job. I've been practicing some rapid shooting, I could shoot twice much arrows than I could land blows, and I am more use to shoot than fight with the sword, as good as it is.

And pleased to meet you, Teleri."
He bow his head to Teleri. "If I had known there would be such creatures in the swamp, I wouldn't had let Felmir alone to go back to the village. I would have let him there first."
 


Looking to the guide, Ayden knew that they were not ready to go just yet.

"My companions need a short rest before we are able to leave, as they must prepare their spells for the battle with the creature, should we find it. I do apologize for the delay, but I do thank you for the service you are doing for both Orchard Meadows and your clan."
 

Looking at the vials of holy water that Teleri had just offered Drogo, Ayden knew that he carried a spell of favor from Finder, but wondered if the spell would work on enchanting a weapon, even temporarily. Erring on the side of caution, Ayden decided to keep the spell undisclosed for now.

~If all else begins to fail, then I will try, but I do not want to get his hopes up if I can not deliver what I offer...~

"While I do have a spell that can temporarily make Rex's attacks stronger, I do not think I have a spell which can enchant your arrows. However, perhaps you could use one of the wands that we confiscated earlier to keep yourself at a distance, as well as strike the wraith with something we know will harm it."

Hoping he was not offending the archer, Ayden pointed to the vials of holy water.

"Could you attach the vials to an arrow and fire it from your bow? I know the weight may be a bit different, but at close range, I don't think it would throw you off too much. However, I will be the first to admit that I know little about archery, beyond the rudiments of firing a crossbow from time to time."
 

Ayden said:

"The arrow will stumble down. It will be no use. I won't ask for a mircale if you can't do any, I was just asking, in case of."
 

Teleri:

"Forgive me of discourtesy. My name is Teleri Shadow-Song. I am a priestess of Sehahine Moonbow. Ayden's suggestion does have some merit. I believe that simply coating the arrows with holy water just before you fire it will have the same effect as.." she paused thinking hard. "As coating a thin layer of poison on them. Only in this case, the 'poison' is holy water and your arrows should be able to affect the wraith if you do as I suggest." she said, offering a vial to Seilwooden.

"I can also cast a spell that will render a single individual invisible to the undead creature. However, if you attempt to attack the creature, the spell will end. Plus, it doesn't last that long and sometimes, the creature can detect you, if it is strong enough." she looked at them. "It will however, give us a slight edge against it." she grinned lopsidedly. "It also couldn't hurt to pray to your gods."

Glad to meet you, Lady Shadow-Song." Andreas bows smartly to the elven woman. "I'm Andreas Darants, of the Darants merchant line. I also have some magical ability, although it's little when compared with many others of my family.

"As for the question of arms, I have a scroll that can enchant a weapon, should we need to bring magical blades to the fight. In addition, I think both my own innate talents and the wand we... reclaimed should prove effective."
 

Chastity looks at Ayden. "How much rest shall we have? I have no need for it, and am ready to pursue the wraith at any moment." She speaks with no rancor, only interest in the answer.
 

"Only as long as Drogo needs to prepare for the battle ahead. Once he is ready, I think we will as prepared as we can be."

Turning to face Telari, Ayden was impressed with the priestess' quick thinking involving the holy water.

"A very good plan indeed Telari, as using holy water as a poison to a creature of darkness has a very poetic aspect to it."
