The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang stands amongst his companions quietly, the wet having sobered him to a mood as glum as the weather.

 

[Velmont]

"Right, but the rains is erasing the tracks, if there are some, so try to make so Sarlis doesn't lose too much time in useless speach." says Sielwoodan, as he walk back next to Felmir, and try to calm the beast who doesn't seems to like his walk under the rain.

Teleri thought a moment as she looked at the cloudy sky. "It's been raining off and on all day and probably the night before. The attacks happened at least a day ago. Any tracks would have assuredly been washed away by now." she smiled at the taciturn ranger. "Though I'm no expert on the subject."

 

[Mimic]

Riding along with the rest of the group not really minding the rain, Broddy hums a gnomish traveling song to himself. Once they are at stop and he notices the farmer looking at them he will smile and wave a greeting to him.

 

[Majin]

Upon realizes the party poses no threat, the farmer forces a small laugh at Sarlis' jest, before banging in the last shoe of the gelding.

"What brings a group such as you lot to my farm?"

 

[DarkMaster]

[sblock] Sorry for the delay Work is taking to much of my time. [/sblock]
Sarlis take a sadden look as he answers the men.

"Hopefully you will excuse my blunt approach but we are currently pressed by time. We are sent by the Priestress to investigate on the death of one of our compagnion, Lady Chastity. We were told that the people who commited this crime recently attacked nearby farm. We are looking for information that could help us solve the mystery of her death and protect your village.

[sblock] To all:Sorry I don't know if I can trust this guy, maybe I said too much. [/sblock]

 

[kirinke]

[sblock]Figure than the nearby farms will be well aware of the paladin's death, especially if they go to the town often enough. So, telling him the truth in this case probably won't hurt anything and this way, we won't have to remember any lies.[/sblock]

"Nasty bit of weather you've been having." Teleri said, smiling at the farmer. "How long has it been going on?" she asked curiously.

 

[Velmont]

"It's been raining off and on all day and probably the night before. The attacks happened at least a day ago. Any tracks would have assuredly been washed away by now." she smiled at the taciturn ranger. "Though I'm no expert on the subject."

"One more reason not to waste more time."

"How long has it been going on?"

Sielwoodan, who was more staring around him than listening to the discussion seems to focus now on the discussion.

 

[kirinke]

[sblock]Teleri is trying to gauge if the wet, chilly weather is natural for that time of the year or 'unseasonable'. In magic terms, that could mean that the weather was summoned.[/sblock]

Drogo? Could the weather be summoned or sent? I'm not too familar with this part of the country, so I have no idea. Teleri mind-sent to the druid, figuring that he might have a better idea of it.

At hearing Chastity's name, the farmer frowns and looks to the ground thoughtfully. "Yes, that was quite the tragedy. Lady Chastity will be missed greatly. These brigands must have killed her. They've been harrassing us something fierce as of late. I hear a few other farms not far from here got hit too recently. It was too dark when the attack came, I could not get a good luck at who done it. The set nearly set fire to my barn and I lost a good deal of my plantings due to it as well," he shakes his head.

At Teleri's query about the weather the farmer shrugs. "Weather's weather. It comes and goes and does what it wills. Frankly the large bit of rain we've been getting is a blessing to my harvest this season. I may be able to salvage a decent amount of it, if things keep up like they are."
