The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter IV

[Jarval]

"Mithral, you say?" Andreas stands back, his chin in his hand as he adopts a thoughtful pose. "Mithral's more likely to be effective against outsiders than shape changers, if my memory serves. Can it... she... can she talk?"

 

[kirinke]

Teleri chuckles. "Very well. At least she communicates mind to mind with me. I don't know for sure if she can communicate with others like Drogo can through telepathy,"

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity D'Agnacia, Female Human Paladin 3rd

Chastity nods at Teleri and Calenthang but continues to look troubled. Out of our hands, yes . . . She stays back as the others leave. "I wish you peace and forgiveness, Mayor," she says to Applebottom softly. "May you find redemption." She considers him for another moment, then goes outside to catch up with the rest of the group.

Her expression does not ease completely until the conversation moves from Applebottom's fate and the difference in justices to Teleri's sword. She looks at it with renewed interest as the truth gradually comes out. "I had heard of such things! Can it--she--hear us? And isn't it possible that the sword could change you if you spend enough time with it?" She grimaces and adds hastily, "I don't mean to imply that you are different, or that anything will happen, or . . ." She trails off, looking somewhat chagrined.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Well, hey, that is quite an interesting sword. Communicates telepathically, does it? Well, maybe its one of my kind then." Drogo looks sideways at the blade. He's never tried to communicate with something without eyes before, but figures it's worth a whirl.

He furrows his brow and tries to focus on the sword, using his telepathy. "Hello, I am Drogo Hornblower, companion of Teleri. Can you understand me?"

 

[Majin]

"O' course I can hear ya," the sword says outloud for everyone to hear, no visible mouth or anything appears, the voice appears to be resonating from the metal itself. "I would appreciate not being ogled like some museum piece."

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand gives a slight chuckle at the swords reaction.
“I like this sword already.”
“I think you should buy it a grand scabbed, one befitting a sword with a grand ego. Maybe something with gold and gems, a fitting home for a dwarf I think.”

 

[kirinke]

Teleri chuckles at Dunstand's joke. "Aye and become the target of every thief between here and Amn?" she grins mischieveously at the rouge. "I don't think you'd like the competition," she teases him.

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang smiles widely at the sword's bluster.
Blades sharper than their wielder... he thinks to himself, understanding and caution starting to take hold.
"That truly is a fine blade, friend Teleri," he repeats, eyeing it with curiosity.

 

[Jarval]

"O' course I can hear ya," the sword says outloud for everyone to hear, no visible mouth or anything appears, the voice appears to be resonating from the metal itself. "I would appreciate not being ogled like some museum piece."

"I do beg your pardon, your highness, I did not mean to give offence." Andreas quickly apologizes to the sword, taking an unconscious step back as he speaks. "I am a practitioner of the arcane arts, and it is a rare opportunity indeed to study... meet a being such as yourself.

"Where are my manners? Andreas Darants, at your service.." He bows formally to the sword.

 

[kirinke]

And you thought I was annoying. Teleri grins mentally at the sword. Now you have another person who says Can you do this and this and this....

Told you so, Teleri chuckles mentally in amusement. They'll calm down once the surprise wears off. At least, now you know that babbling like an idiot is a common occurance when one encounters an item that shouldn't be intelligent but is,
