The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

[Majin]

"How do you intend to do so?" Aeleth asks, still calm behind her retinue of guards. "Thousands is quite the exaggeration though," she adds. "Not even a tenth of that, my kin included, have fallen victim to Malifustal. Thanks to you, no one else will... isn't that justice enough given the circumstances?"

Calenthang offers Sarlis a wave of his hand as he continues out the room.
"Only a coward would fight the weak," he says in his huff, presuming the cleric means to fight these people.
Outside, when Ayden catches him, he avoids eye contact with his friend, but not out of anger.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, revered Ayden. We cannot stop all evil in this world. I'm just frustrated that my actions, while they seem to further our cause, are still infinitesimal when compared to the greater world," the elf says with renewed composure.
"Let us find the rest of our band and make all haste from this place."

[sblock] Well, Verbatim, staying here an extra few days would have been possible before, but now... [/sblock]

 

[Verbatim]

"There are times Calenthang that while I know Finder's great melody flows around us all, I can not grasp it. I am not sorry that we can't stop all the evil in the world, as such a goal would drive us all insane should we attempt it, but I am sorry that your faith in your people was misplaced."

Ayden paused for a second to avoid bumping into a youth hurrying with a bundle of sweet rolls that crossed their path.

"We should speak to Master Therav before we depart, as I feel he should know of our leaving this place. After that, I agree that we should leave, as this place no longer holds the wonders that it once did to these tired eyes."

[sblock]Yeah, I agree..looks like Drogo will get to practice in front of us, and Broddy will have to scribe on the fly..[/sblock]

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang lets out a humorless laugh.
"These are not my people, my friend," he says in a meloncholy tone.
He allows Ayden to lead him where he would go.

 

[DarkMaster]

Sarlis pretend to step back outside, cast Divine favor and bull strenght on himself and rushes back in the room charging on the priestress.

He will only attack her until he dies

With the two buff spells

MW heavy mace +9 (+11 if able to charge) 1d8+5 20/x2 AC 20

[sblock]Sorry but Sarlis conscience can't be bought and isn't selective. Murderer are murderer whether they are Hags or Celestials. [/sblock]

 

[Dhes]

Walking trough the fair, Dunstand checks out the craftsmanship of the present weapon smiths. As he last saw his companions at the cave Dunstand is totally ignorant of his companions encounter and is sure that they will fill him in when they get back.

As Dunstand walks back to Master Therav Cart he idly plays with his newly acquired daggers, trying (but with out the wanted result) to do some flashy looking dagger tricks. When he gets back to the cart, only marked with some miner cuts on his hands, he will change into some fresh clothes and clean out his backpack.

[sblock] OMG Sarlis is going to get us al killed (well you guys, Dunstand has never seen you guys) does this mean I don’t add the 200 platinum to the loot list??
Spend 558 gold for 2 MW silver daggers.[/sblock]

 

[Mimic]

Broddy happily wanders thought the fair looking at various things as well as purchasing a few spells that would be nice to add to his spell book.

Once that is done he will return to Therav's work shop and starts studing the book that he found underground.

[sblock] First sorry for not posting lately. Easter, family and friends made it a touch to busy to do. At least I am not the only one to mourn the loss of 200 pp [/sblock]

 

[hippocrachus]

[sblock] I'm glad Calenthang isn't in the room, I really like him.
Edit: Oh, ha ha. I'm doing it the blindman way. [/sblock]

 

[kirinke]

[sblock] Sorry guys, you went to fast for me. ^_^ Here is Teleri's belated response before she left the tent. Oh, this is right after Calenthang's outburst.[/sblock]

"My lady judicar, I do not believe that I am special in anyway, but I would not have made such a deal with that fiend, having seen her true face. And while I do have a certain amount of pride, it is balanced by the wisdom, that I cannot do everything. Each of my friends adds something to the whole. Together we are greater than we are seperately. Perhaps, in your isolation, you have forgotten that. As a priestess of Sehanine Moonbow, I would suggest that you explore the option of gaining other allies. The night-hag was not killed, only banished. Remember that. Now she has a grudge and you are not strong enough to fight her."

Teleri smiled coldly, grimly, keeping a firm grip on her own bleak anger as Calenthang left after his outburst, secretly agreeing with him."Do not let your own pride destroy what you have so long fought for." She warned and left after Ayden, having heard enough.

She breathed the fresh air, glad to be out of that thinly veiled cesspit of a tent and broke into a light run, vanishing into the tumbled assortment of fair-goers, glad that the hag is gone, so these people can enjoy the fair without nightmares dogging their dreams. Now it can be a true festivel of life, breathing new hope into a region so long held in the darkness of isolation and xenophobia.

She slowed, breathing lightly, pausing in front of an armourer, watching the elf weave a complicated series of rings onto a backing of beautifully tooled leather, the start of a masterfully crafted set of studded leather. She smiled, remembering how her father would repair armor on late winter evenings, though not as well as this. Something bright caught her eye, a supple shine of light on bright metal links...

[sblock] Piffle. 200 pp. We can always earn more coin, without having to sully our good name. Oh, subtract the gold for the mithril shirt and darkwood shield if that's ok. And while Teleri has alot of pride, it runs differently from that elf's. She wouldn't soil her blade with that coward's blood. She's not anywhere near the tent when Sarlis attacks, she's shopping. [/sblock]

Teleri sighed as the elf stated his price on the armor. It looks beautiful. And I need some better protection. Leather is good, but it isn't good enough to block something really nasty. Like that hag's bolts. She wearily thought as she headed off to find Ayden.
