The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

"Friend Sielwoodan, if ever you need arrows to use your deadly bow, just ask them of me and I shall give them gladly," Calenthang says, proffering his own quiver if no arrows show up.

"Thanks for the offer. But my arrows are spent pretty fast since I met you all, so if there some among the weapons, I think it won't harm us to take some more, at least to complete my half empty quivers."
 

Sarlis turns towards the lady and extremely politely replies "But why settle for a pale reflection of the thruth when it is only a few hours away. That's why I try to sleep at night, and live during the day.

Self-discovery is useless if it doens't lead to self-improvement, and for that most people need a guide. Without a guide self-discovery can be a long a painful process by which many will follow the wrong roads. Eventually they will realise their mistake, at best having lost a few hours of their lives at worst their entire life.


As Velmont asks for arrow, Sarlis pretend to be too concentrated on his search to hear him. "Increasing the challenge can only be beneficial" He thinks to himself.

OOC Manzanita, For some reason I was sure that your PC was a gnome. But I won't change anythig Sarlis doesn't really care about the little race and got them all confused so for him from now on you will be a gnome.
 

OOC: Darkmaster, My character's name is Sielwoodan, just a note...

Sielwoodan stay concentrated on the passages, making sure nothing enter the room, and without relaxing his concentration, he reply to Sarlis.

"Sun, Moon and Stars are all good guides. The full moon is not a pale reflection fo the truth, but a light in the darkness. And the new moon, even if she looks like a bane, allow to see more stars in the night, and make it easier to guide yourself with them. Open your mind to all that is in the nature, it carries some truth that follower of faith have tendency to be blinded to because they think there is one better way among many. Selune is the one I ask for protection when the night come, but I welcome Lanthender to give me the light I need to travel."

Not even closely done disecting the baskilist, Broddy sighs softly and starts to quickly pack up as he sees everyone getting ready to move on.

"Ayden, where did you meet this women and what died she have to say? Is she down here and how did you get to her so fast? How do you know if her information is correct? " His dissapointment about the dead beast fades rapidly as he focuses on this new mystery

Ayden turned to face the gnome and a look of complete serenity filled his eyes as he spoke.

"After the fight, I heard Finder's call in my head and climbed the rope to the surface. She was waiting for me and although I was startled at first, I quickly came to understand that she had been sent by Finder to assist us. She spoke of the dark basilisk and how I must help you slay the foul creature and then come to her. Once we reach her, she will answer all of our questions..."

Ayden's voice trailed off as he finished answering Broddy's question and a serene smile was visible upon his face.

~We are coming...~
 

Walking with the others, Ayden watched as they began going through the weapons that were in the room. While he wanted to hurry his friends along, he knew that the dangers in this place were many and taking a few moments to be fully prepared was not a bad thing.

As he heard Drogo ask about Lathander, Ayden turned to face the priest and listen to his explanation. While Lathander was a bright beacon to many, Ayden knew that the Morninglord's clergy could also twist the tenets of their faith to exclude working with those who did not follow their beliefs.

~Let us hope that Sarlis is not one of those...~

After Sarlis answered Drogo's question, Ayden was surprised to hear Sielwoodan add his own beliefs into the equation. While Ayden had been travelling with his companions for several weeks now, this was the first time he could recall the normally silent archer open up about himself.

~The gods do work in mysterious ways...~
 

Sarlis looks at Sielwoodan "I guess it depends on your vision of the world. I like your discour while not completly accurate, it shows an extreme positivism towards life. You always looks for the best you can get at any moments.

He smiles at Sielwoodan hoping to calm down the situation.

"I think the poor man didn't quite understood when I talked about guide. He is obviously a very straightforward person and takes everything to the first degree. The moon guiding his steps, humff, He thinks of a ranger, when I talk about a spiritual guide. So much to teach, so little time.

OOC Velmont go ahead and take Sarlis as your next target.
 

As Sarlis smiles at Sielwoodan, th elf simply stops to look at the cleric and continue his watch.

And he thinks a smile will make him more sympathic. Positivism... he didn't understand a thing of what I said. A close mind, that what he is. He won't see that nature is an example, both for the physical body and the spirit.
 

Why’ll you guy have your little discussion about the moon and stars and about…. what was it, signposts or guides of some sort? I’ll see if there is any thing worth taking in this junk.” Dunstand gives a small laugh and a shake of his head as he starts searching the room.

Broddy watches the cleric closely as he speaks, it was one thing to believe in the gods but another to blindly follow something just because it said if was from your god.

"I don't supposed that she gave you a name or why she is down here and if she is here to help why didn't she give you the information you needed when you talked to her in the first place?"
