The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

[hippocrachus]

Happy to see everything as it should be, peaceful, Calenthang begins packing up his things, and stands to give a half-hearted stretch.
The elf maiden offers her assistance and he doesn't wait for the other members of his party to acknowledge her before taking her up on the offer.
"The shifting winds of destiny guide us," he says in Sylvan. All elves speak the language of faerie. "We welcome you..." he trails off, expecting a name.

 

[Velmont]

Sielwwodan is still hiding in the bush, not moving, and arrow on his bow, but seeing all is going well, his grasp on the arrow have relaxed.

 

[Verbatim]

"I will send one to show you where the wraith was last spotted. As I do not know if it makes a home in this swamp or just wanders freely wherever it likes during the night I cannot gaurantee you will find it there, but it may be close by. As for relations with the town, time will tell. I will enter into diplomatic negotiations with them when the dam has been entirely dismantled, and we shall see how things go from there..."

Knowing that he was not likely to get Naamani to agree to anything more than she had, Ayden nodded his head and smiled as he spoke to her once more.

<<Draconic>>"May the next time we meet be under much better circumstances Naamani, and may Finder's gaze keep you and your people safe."

Picking up the tattered book, Ayden placed it inside of the bag at his side.

~I will look at this once we have safely returned to town, as it would not be wise to be distracted while we hunt for a creature of darkness...~

Turning to face the others, Ayden looked towards the exit behind them as he spoke.

"Since we have Naamani's blessing to leave, I think it would be best to allow her and her people time to speak and hear the news we have passed to her."

Seeing Calenthang speaking to the elvish female, Ayden waited until he seemed done before turning and beginning the climb out of the naga's chamber.

 

[Jarval]

Andreas follows closely behind Ayden, wanting to get out of the naga's home as quickly as possible.

Teleri

Teleri smiles again. "My name is Teleri Shadow-song. I thank you for persuading Naamani to release me." she turned to Naamani.

"I realise you had no reason to trust me. But I believe I was led here by my goddess the lady Moonbow to help combat this undead creature."

She paused. "When your people captured me, did they also bring back two animals? a horse and a mule? I worry for them, they were gifts from my parents and have been my constant companions since I left home." she grinned slightly. "I would be rather ill-equipped to deal with both an undead creature and a naga without my equipment and weapons as well."

Hopefully I haven't gone too far. But nothing ventured, nothing gained as my da always said. she thought wryly.

 

[Manzanita]

drogo

Drogo bows to the Naga as she releases them. "Thank you for your information. We will be sure to let the townsfolk know that it was you who informed us of this being in their well. And we shall do our best to slay the foul wraith that haunts this swamp. Farewell, & I hope we meet again."

 

[Majin]

"Your animals are safe. Chained up a few chambers from here. As you pass by one of my guards will release them to you."

With that Naamani coils her body up and lowers her head, apparently a sign of farewell.

 

[hippocrachus]

"We welcome you, Teleri Shadow-song," he says again, accepting her thanks with a shrug, trying not to take credit for something he didn't really do.
When she turns to speak to Naamani, Calenthang goes and joins Andreas and Ayden.
"Relax, friends, all is well," he says in a whisper to them.

 

[Verbatim]

"I pray that things are, but fear that they are not. However, we have a wraith to hunt, and I pray that we will be able to stop the creature before it causes another abomination to be spawned."

Seeing their escort waiting for them at the slope leading out of the cavern, Ayden began walking towards him wondering if Tymora or Beshaba would look their way once they returned to the swamp.

Teleri

Teleri moves down the hallway and encounters a guard who shows her her animals. She slowly checks them over, methodically making sure they have no hidden injuries or other problems. Finally satisfied that they are healthy, she moves to her belongings and carefully takes two silvery metal vials from a saddlebag and places them on her belt. (her vials of holy water).

She turned to the others. "If we are to fight an ghost we will need the proper tools. I do have some small clerical abilities, including the knowledge of how to hide from the undead." she smiled slightly. "I suggest after we scout the location, we return to this town you have spoken of and gather a great deal of holy water. I believe a sprayer, a sling and some holy-water pellets would be very useful as well."

"And before we go, may I be graced with your names?" she finished as rearranged the packs more comfortably on the mule.
OOC: Question on holy water. would sprinkling it on weapons make the weapons blessed (temporarily)?
