The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang turns on her in a flash.
"I lost my life!" he screams at the young elf. "Do not presume to teach me the evils of this world, girl! And do not name that whore in my presence!"
He quickly changes his direction and heads back to the tent with more haste, not wishing to hear the rebuttals.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri sighs at his flees, almost shocked at his outburst. Well, that certainly was successfull. She thinks dryly to herself.

What is wrong with him? she asks StormArmour. What could cause such unreasoning hate? I know that drow are evil. I know what horrors they are capable of. I have seen it first hand. But none are beyond redemption. And if he continues on this path, he will be no better than those he despises. Doesn't he realise this? she asks, more frustrated than anything else.

 

[Dhes]

Arms loaded with the loot, Dunstand rises and quietly listens to Teleris and Calenthangs discourse. Why get so upset about Drow that are not here? Turning to Broddy, “Why don’t we go and put this stuff away and than you can show me that alchemist.” Patting the armor and razing the axe a bit. “Maybe one of you can have a look at this stuff later on, I can tell that the stuff is well made, but I don’t know if they are magical in any way. So if one of you has some time, could you, I don’t know, wave you hand over it or something.”

Turning back for a second. “Don’t wait up for me, when we are don with the shopping, I’ll see if I can get some information out of these people, I’m sure that they will be more talkative with some gold or silver. I don’t know, but this thing with Master Therav and Kayris still urks me.”
(+8 Gather information)

ooc: Dunstand will buy 2 sunrod’s and 1 thunderstone per person.
So, 25 gold and 2 silver for 14 sunrods and 189 gold for 7 Thunderstones (everything with a 10% discount). He will also use 10 gold to get information about the fair, Kayres and the Grimlocks.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

Drogo rubs his chin. "I doubt the fey would cause this incident. Normally elves get along well with Fey, and they would not normally work with these underground beasts, anyway. I am also reluctant to simply pursue the creatures into this hole. We have agreed to protect Therav, and our duties here are not over. It is the Mellorn that have most to gain or lose from the presense of these creatures, and I doubt they are wholly ignorant of the dangers the area presents. Let us discuss the situation with the Mellorn, as you have said, then see what courses of action present themselves."

 

[kirinke]

Teleri nods in agreement. "Alright. I will go with Seilwoodan and speak with the priests. Perhaps they will be more forthright with two elves, than with any others." she looks at Ayden. "Keep an eye on Calenthang would you? In his anger, he may cause more harm than good,"

 

[Mimic]

"These creatures are called Grimlocks, they have lived under the ground for so long they no longer have eyes but their other senses have become enhanced to compensate." Broddy responds to Ayden's question, more then happy to share what ever information he has on them. "Because they have no eyes they are immune to magics that require sight, but are more vuneralble sounds and smells."

Broddy will follow Dunstand taking a closer look at the Axe and the armor the leader had, particularily the runes to see if he can decipher what it means.

<Decipher Script +8, Knowledge (arcana) +10, Spellcraft +12 would seem approprate>

 

[Velmont]

Ignoring Calenthang burst about drow, Sielwoodan starts to speak:

"What I know about drow is what my father used to tell me. It is a mixte of bedtime story, old legend and facts my father have witness. I can hold what I know to be the whole truth..."

Sielwoodan starts to tells everything he knows about them.

OOC: Knowledge (Dungeonneering) +3

 

[Verbatim]

Ayden listened to his companions speak on the creatures, grimlocks, that attacked them. While Ayden had listened to the exchange between Teleri and Calenthang, Ayden did not see anything in the elvish fighter's temper that hinted that he was in any danger of losing control of himself.

~Steel must be hardened by flame to gain strength...~

Nodding his head at Teleri's request to keep an eye on Calenthang, he watched as she and Sielwoodan left to return to the festival grounds and then turned to help Broddy examine the items they had found, including the axe that Calenthang had strapped to his waist.

Closing his eyes as he hummed a short series of notes, he called upon one of Finder's minor gifts and opened his eyes looking to see if any of the items found carried any trace of enchantments.

ooc:Cast Detect Magic and then head into town to pray

 

[kirinke]

As they walk towards into the fair, Teleri looks curiously at Seilwoodan. "It seems odd that we don't know a great deal about each other, except that we fight well together. Where are you from?" she asks politely.

 

[Majin]

Ayden casts his spell and notices the only thing magical he can find is the armor the leader is wearing. It glows with a slight transmutation aura. Broddy confirms this, recognizing the meaning of some of the runes.

Sielwoodan's understanding of drow in his explanation is pretty basic. The extent of his knowledge is that they are vunerable to bright light and the basic description of what one looks like.

Therav shakes his head at any further questioning.
