The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

Teleri frowns in thought. From what she had learned, they were woefully under-prepared. "Perhaps if we could..." her brow furrowed in thought. "I remember one of my teachers showing me a small glass pellet filled with holy water. He said that they were very good against certain forms of undead and you had the additional bonus of staying out of reach of the undead creature itself. Perhaps if we gathered enough holy water, we could also dip our arrows, pellets and anything that can be thrown so you can distract the creature why Ayden and I attempt to turn it." she offered.

"If it's all the same to you, all of you, I'd like to give this new blade a twirl," Calenthang adds. "I am willing to face the creature's horrors in hand-to-hand, and I trust in your abilities."
 

As they exited the mouth of the cavern, Ayden was pleased to hear Teleri speaking with the voice of caution, but in this instance, Ayden felt the best course of action was to trust in their abilities and strike while the iron was hot.

Looking around the hillock, Ayden scanned for Sielwoodan, but could not see the elvish tracker anywhere. Hoping the elf was still out there, Ayden waved once to show that they were okay, and turned as Calenthang voiced his desire to seek out the wraith now as well.

"Telari, while the others will all speak that I am the last one to seek combat for combat's sake, I do believe that our actions now will speak volumes for the peace effort we seek with Orchard Meadows and the Broken Axe clan. Among the texts I studied as an acolyte, there was a scholar who believed that lizardfolk are a distant relative to the mighty wyrms themselves, and as such place great respect in displays of strength, both magical and physical. We have a chance to show Naamani that the people of Orchard Meadows are not afraid to help their neighbors protect the lands they share. We must have faith that our gods and Tymora will protect us as best they can, and leave the rest firmly upon our shoulders."
 

Teleri

Teleri bowed her head in aquiasence.

"Very well. The wraith it is then." She turned to Drogo. "I have heard that Halflings are well skilled in the use of the sling and other thrown weapons. She handed Drogo one of her vials of holy water. "I believe if you sprinkle some of this on pebbles or other thrown weapons, they will be able to harm the wraith once you have spoken your spells." she looked at the others. "I suggest we also sprinkle some on our weapons. Every little bit of additional protection helps."

ooc:
Teleri is going to bless a few more vials of water (as much as she can, turning them holy ^)^). she is also going to cast hide from undead on everyone if she can once they get to the general area of where the wraith strikes often.

Seeing Ayden, Sielwoodan get out of his hiding place.

"Too sad. I was starting to think that I would have to pass the night out there. So, what's now? And who's your new friend."

Sielwoodan looks at Teleri
 

As Teleri allowed the topic of returning to Orchard Meadows to drop for the moment, Ayden watched as Sielwoodan seemed to appear out of thin air from the swamp weeds and brushes around them.

~He is truly a gifted hunter...thank you for having him be on our side Uncle...~

As the party and their guide crossed towards him, Ayden smiled in greetings as the elf spoke of preparing to make camp for the night.

"We were Naamani guests while she checked to see if our stories of seeking peace and the ousting of Applebottom were true. Once she was assured of our peaceful intentions, we were released with her blessing, as well as two more threats to both the Broken Axe clan and to Orchard Meadows."

Quickly filling him in, Ayden spoke of Naamani's sister lurking under the city's well, as well as Naamani giving them a guide to take them to the hunting grounds of the wraith.

"Drogo needs a few minutes to prepare himself before we seek the wraith out, and you are by no means have to come with us should you feel that this is not your fight. However, I would be honored to have your blade and bow with us for both of these foes."

~Hopefully, he will not hold my rash speaking to him against Orchard Meadows as a whole, and in the meantime, I can try to repair the rift I caused earlier...~
 

Drogo

"You have a good plan. But, though I am skilled with the sling, but I feel my fight will be elsewhere. I can fling fire, which should hurt this abomination. I can also enchant Rex's fangs, and I can also create a flaming sword, which I should be able to use to damage it as well. Thus, if anyone else can use the sling, I suggest they take these vials."
 


Looking at Ayden "Wraith... Wraith? You mean some kind of ghost? And how can I be usefull. As far as I know, it is incorporeal, which mean my arrows will fly throught him. And you didn't present your new friend."
 

"While it is true that wraiths are immune to normal strikes, the enchanted blade at your side will allow you to strike it as if it was made of flesh and blood. I know that you are a skilled archer Sielwoodan, but for the foe we may soon face, it is your skill with a blade that we will need more. However, if you do not feel comfortable with being that close to one of the undead, I, and I'm sure the others as well, understand. As always my friend, I would never ask you to do anything that you do not feel comfortable doing."

Pausing to turn to face Teleri slightly, Ayden nodded in her direction.

"Please forgive my ill manners. Sielwoodan this is Teleri, Teleri, this is Sielwoodan. Sielwoodan is a very skilled tracker and hunter, and even more skilled with the use of his bow. Teleri is a priestess, a blessing to us for the task we wish to accomplish."
