The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

"Also, if I remember correctly, undead are vunlerable healing spells. That is, instead of healing, the spells actually hurt the undead." she grinned again. "I too have little need of rest for a while anyways, as I have done nothing but 'rest' for the past several days," she said, referring to her recent captivity.

"I'm only down one spell, actually, the produce flame spell I used against the crocodile. Perhaps I should take a couple of those sling holy water shots. I say lets go tonight. It sure is helpful to have you here Teleri. I can't help but think with you knowledge added to our existing powers, we'll be able to handle this creature."
 

"Well, I'll stick with the sword if it is that. It is just I would have downed a creature twice as fast with my arrows than with that sword, but taking the time to put some water on each arrow will slow too much my shooting."
 

Relieved to hear that everyone seemed ready to go sooner than he had expected, Ayden turned to face their appointed guide.

"It would seem that I spoke in error Ssyndin, I think we are all ready to go now."

As they began walking, Ayden finally allowed a question that had been floating around in his thoughts to be voiced.

"Drogo, while we were in Naamani's chambers, I heard you speaking to me through my thoughts and wanted to ask how you accomplished that? I have heard of those who learn to draw spells through the power of their mind, but unless I am mistaken, your spells are druidic in nature. I do not mean to pry, but it was something I was not expecting, not that any of this has turned out to be what I expected when Sheriff Trond first asked us to help."

The priestess coughed, slightly embaressed. "When i talked about the glass pellets, I thought we were going back to the village. However, like with the arrow-poison, I believe that simply sprinkling holy water onto the pellets will work as well." she chuckled. "If my own attempt at turning the creature failed, I was going to simply stay out of its range and start flinging pebbles and rocks at it coated in holy water."

ooc: how long does the holy water-coating last? can they dip the water b4 they get into range?

"Oh. Ayden, my friend. Perhaps you have spent too much time among the reptiles." Drogo laughs. "I am a ghostwise halfling. We ghostwise all share this telepathis ability. We are able to communicate with anyone close by in two way telepathy, as long as we share a common language. Perhaps we'll have cause to do this again."
 

"All your people share in this ability? Yondalla must have a special place for you and your kin in her heart to have given such a powerful gift. Do you have to be the one who initiates the conversation, or can anyone simply call out for you with their thoughts? Forgive my curiousity, as you are more correct than you realize. Growing up, my family saw very little need to talk to me, save for when they felt I was embarassing the family name, and when I began my path to serve as a priest of my great Uncle, the saurials had very few among them that could speak in any tongue save their on and wyrmspeak."
 

Chastity settles into an easy pace, content to walk until they find the wraith. Her hands swing at her sides, but she is more than prepared to defend the group. As Drogo and Ayden speak, she cocks an ear and listens with interest. Telepathic halflings! I wonder if they can hear thoughts as well, or just speak with each other. Ayden's comment about family stops her train of thought, and she turns to him. "Pardon me, but why did your family consider you shameful?" she asks him politely.
 

"To answer that, I would first have to bore you with the mindset of my family, both before and after our great-uncle Finder returned and became one of the gods. However, the long and short of it is that if I was not promoting the glory of the Wyvernspurs, then I was running the risk of damaging the family's name. With my family, nothing is more important to them than our name. Luckily, they are now more concerned with Uncle Giogi and Aunt Kat's twins than me."

At the mention of his favorite uncle and aunt, Ayden could not help but smile at their memory. While the majority of the Wyvernspur's could not look beyond their on self-importance, they stood out as an example of how "nobles" should be in his mind.

~If I make it through this Uncle, remind me to send them a letter letting them know what all has been going on. I think they will appreciate the fact that while I tried to run from serving you for so long, it seems we have reached a great understanding with each other...~
