The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan nods at the girl and start to speak so his voice can be heard by the apprentice, but not farther. "I see no problem with that, but as the forest is not a safe place, you'll follow the same rule as anyone in this group. Don't speak uselessly, and whisper when you talk. Shout only when really needed. Simple rules to do a minimum of sounds, so we won't attract beast or vermin. We already met more than our share today."

 

[Majin]

Kayris raises an eyebrow at Sielwoodan's direct tone, but falls in step with the party nontheless. Gharlef does not raise a comment, and Therav merely smiles at the woman, and nods, but keeps his eyes on her frequently, fearing for his merchandise no doubt.

"Wise precautions I'm sure," she says, touching the side of her nose. "But I believe it is more difficult to conceal oneself from the local fauna than just remaining quiet. I trust you are all taking steps to mask your scents as well? Otherwise all the silence in the world would not protect you for long from those that can sniff you out."

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand makes a deep bow and flourishes his clock for Kayris.
“Well met lady Kayris, my name is Dunstand Tybalt.”
“Please don’t take any note of my companion here. Although he is a fair scout and woodsman, he’s lacks the civility of people like us.”

Making another deep bow,
“I offer you my protection for as long as you need it.”

 

[Velmont]

"Honestly, no... I was used to travel where birgands were a menace, and animals feared the scent of man. But sound can travel far and in every direction. Scent will carry far only in the direction the wind blow."

Sielwoodan takes a look around and try to spot some herbs that could mask the scent of the group.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri smiles warmly at the newcomer. "My name is Teleri. And you said you were apprenticed to a mastersmith?" she asked curiously. "What sort of weapons or armor do you specialize in?"

She casually placed her hand on StormArmour's hilt. When we get to the fair, could you help me pick out a good armor-smith? I know something about armor and weapons, but I am no expert by any means. Perhaps this Kayris and her master might be good. I think that some of the guys could use some better armor. She told the sword dryly.

 

[Majin]

Sielwoodan scans the roadside but is unable to spot anything he can use to help mask the parties scent.

Kayris nods at Dunstand and cocks a knowing half-smile his way at his words then turns to regard Teleri. "Indeed I am. Master Shoban has all types of weapons and armor available. He crafts anything of metal, and we have a tanner who is skilled at leatherworking helping us as well."

The sword sounds to snort in annoyance in her mind. I am not to be your tour guide of Faerun, girl, it says simply.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri mentally chuckles at the sword's barb. Didn't expect you to be a tour-guide. But if my companion was about to make a bad purchase and I knew it, I'd be obligated to tell her that the merchant was rooking her. That's all, she told the sword dryly. Very few people live on a desert island. she added.

 

[hippocrachus]

As Sielwoodan's search turns up nothing, Calenthang wonders what is keeping the party from continuing on. By this time his interest in the wood elf fair is more than a little piqued.
"Let us continue on, my friends," he says with raised eyebrows. "Nothing is stopping us from walking and talking at the same time," he adds with a grin.

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand walks over to Kayris and offers her his arm.
“My companion is correct, lets get to the fair with all haste.”

 

[kirinke]

Teleri laughs as the others continue to travel. "Eager to partake of the local mead are you Calenthang?" she teases him.
