The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

[Verbatim]

As the farmer mentioned his family's well being, Ayden stepped forward slightly and bowed slightly to the farmer before speaking to him.

"I apologize for our unasked for appearance, but as Father Sarlis has said, we seek those who attacked you, as well as Lady Chasity. You mentioned that at the time of attack, you feared for your family's safety. Were they physically attacked during the raid? While I know it has been some time since they would have been injured, what meager healing Finder gives me, I would gladly use for you."

 

[Majin]

Looking around the area, Sielwoodan is easily able to see signs of many horses coming from the west and leaving that way.

At Ayden's offer of healing the farmer smiles but raises his hands. "No, no, we're all fine here, thank the gods. I was simply worried for their safety as a man should in a situation like that. In hindsight, luckily these brigands seemed only interested in harrassing us, nothing really life threatening it seems. At least I hope," he adds, his frown returning.

 

[Verbatim]

Ayden nodded his head and tried to smile back, but for once the smile did not come easily to his face.

"Aye, lucky indeed sir. However, if you or any of your family should remember anything more, however trivial you may think it is, please let us know."

As he turned to head back to his mount, Ayden saw the others mounting up and quickly followed suit. Once he was in the saddle, he turned to face Drogo and voiced his idea to him.

"Master Drogo are you still have the strength to assume the form of a hawk? Perhaps you could scout the area toward's Master Merl's homestead while he ride there? If nothing else, it would make sure that we were not riding into a trap of my making."

Teleri swings herself into the saddle, drawing her cloak around her. "Good luck, Drogo."

 

[Velmont]

"Riders, many of them. If they ride horses, they are plainly alive. Hard to tel if they had any relation with Chastity murderer."

 

[kirinke]

Teleri smiled grimly. "But then, it's probably a safe bet that they might have dealings with the ones responsible for her murder as well as Andreas' disappearence."

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo Hornblower

"Yes." He smiles, eager to try out his new powers again. Halflings, like humans, have always wanted to fly, and now this one can soar on the wings of eagles. He sends a message to Rex to stick with the group and guard Broddy if attacked. "I'll scout around as you ride towards the next farmhouse. If I see anything, I'll buzz by and let you know."

With that, Drogo transforms into an eagle, and leaps off Rex's back and into the sky.

 

[DarkMaster]

Sarlis looks at amazement at the small creature transforming itself in hawk.

"Got you wonder what is his real shape. Humanoid or animal"

Sarlis follow the other towards Merl's house, keeping an eyes on the Hawk flying above their head.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri grinned at Sarlis' consternation. Her own mother had shapeshifted several times in her presence over the course of her childhood, though her mother did prefer the form of an owl rather than an eagle. So, while she wasn't dumbstruck at the idea, she was still very happy for Drogo.

 

[Mimic]

A small "wow" escapes Broddy's lips as he watches the halfling transform himself into an eagle, twisting nearly in half he reaches into his pack and pulls out a parchment and a small peice of charcoal and proceeds to write on the parchment as he studies the eagle intensly.

A moment later his familiar pokes his head out of his sack looks at Broody and in the general direction of where the riding dog is taking them he sighs deeply (or as deeply as a ferret familiar can) and scampers out to the reins and does his best to follow the rest of the group.
