The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang reddens shyly at Teleri's playful humor, finding it easier to accept her reasoning for his eagerness.
"I don't know, friend Teleri, I've had some mighty fine dwarven ales in my lifetime," he says with mock pomp.

 

[Majin]

Kayris takes Dunstand's arm gingerly with a smile. She looks to Drogo and the others who have not introduced themselves yet. "And your names are? Don't be shy, I won't bite," she says with a grin.

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand grins at Kayris.
“You don’t? That’s too bad.”

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang offers his hand in a sign of parlay.
"Excuse me, friend Kayris, I am Calenthang," he says solemnly.

 

[Majin]

Kayris nods at Calenthang and gives a quick glance Dunstand's way, a bright twinkle in her eye in response to his comment, then returns her gaze to the elven fighter. "Well met, Calenthang," she returns his gesture. "Your cautious friend here mentions you have had your fill of encounters this day. Might I inquire as to what trouble has befallen you so far?"

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang's eyes twinkle themselves at Kayris' question, their depths radiating an almost evil lust.
"Spiders," he says simply. After a brief pause he explains the owlbear encounter.

 

[kirinke]

Her chest clenched in alarm as she saw that familar look in Calenthang's eyes. Her ranger father often had that look whenever he spoke of the drow, a race he detested. Once, that hatred had almost destroyed him in body and soul.

Only her mother had been able to bring him back from ruin and even then, she had help from both Teleri and a priest of Eilistraee. The months of healing both spiritual and physical nearly tore the family apart, but when it was over, they had emerged stronger for it. In fact, her father had converted from nature worship to serving Eilistraee.

Teleri jerked out of her memory, sighing. Not even my mother could forsee the path I have taken. And she is one of the best of Selune's oracles. She looked down at the mithril sword. My brothers would laugh themselves silly if they found out about you.

 

[Velmont]

Sielwoodan leave the group, taking back is place some distance in front of them, scouting the way, an arrow ready to be shooted.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Greetings, Kayris. You are welcome to accompany us to the fair. Be aware we are in the pay of Mr. Finthalus, here, and will continue to act as his guards. You are probably well advised to travel with us, as these woods have proven dangerous. I am Drogo Hornblower. This is my companion Rex," says Drogo, indicating the dog, and bowing slightly to the newcomer.

 

[Majin]

Kayris listens to Calenthang's description of prior events with interest. When he is finished she nods and responds, "My, it certainly sounds dangerous. I guess I could count myself lucky I haven't ran into any trouble alone out here."

She smiles at Drogo as he introduces himself and Rex, "I certainly feel much safer travelling with all of you, especially if what you have told me about your encounters so far is true."
