The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VI

[Verbatim]

Ayden slides the enchanted hammer into its loop on his belt with a casual ease that he would not have possessed three months ago.

~It seems a great many have things have changed since I arrived at Daggerford Uncle, how much more will before the song is finished?~

As the others all begin relaxing slightly, Ayden approaches Calenthang and Broddy.

"What was it that set them off? While we knew they were supposed to be here, I am curious as to what led them to attack when we out numbered them so greatly."

While Ayden had no doubt that Calenthang was an intelligent elf, no fighter could live purely on brawn and hope to live long, he knew the question would more than likely be handled by the excitable gnomish mage.

"That's no usual behavior for the Wisps." says the archer approaching the remain of one of the wisp to take a close look at it. After that, he will look at the place the appeared.

Whenever Calenthang can find a chance to add to the explanation between Broddy's fast-paced telling...
"I saw a light that I wished friend Broddy to investigate. They attacked shortly after, revered Ayden," he says concisely, speaking over top of the gnome.

"What was it that set them off? While we knew they were supposed to be here, I am curious as to what led them to attack when we out numbered them so greatly."

Broddy pauses for a moment to collect his thoughts on the question that Ayden asked him, or perhaps is was just enough time to get a big lung full of air...

"Well, I have to admit that my knowledge of Will-o-wisps isn't very complete," he states bending over one of the now deceased wisp bodies, poking it with his dagger, just in case something interesting would happen to it.

"But I do know that they are at least semi-intellegent, able to speak if they wanted to and yet have no apparent means of communication." He adds in rolling the body over. "how odd, do you think I will have to time to dissect one of them?" Seeing the look the priest gives him he continues on with a smile. "No matter, as I was saying, they can also turn off the light they produce making them almost invisible... say did I ever tell you the time my uncle Taz ran into an invisible giant, actually it was sort of the other way around, squashed flat into the ground he was. Fortunately the ground was soft so all it did was make a gnome sized hole, or at least that's what he told me... anyways considering the fact that they didn't flee makes me think that they were here for a reason, guarding a entrance or possibly this might be thier lair and they were defending it against us, which would mean that there could be some treasure around. Beyond that I really can't say, there just isn't enough information to draw a proper conclusion from."

"Oh, one other thing," he adds as he goes to check the hole where they appeared from originally, "Will-o-wisps usually tend to gather in groups of 4 to 6 so they might be more of them around."

 

[DarkMaster]

Sarlis barely listen to the gnome story, concentrating on his surrounding.

"Why were these things here, I don't think we should lower our guards yet"

[Dhes]

Dunstand slumps to his knees and nods with appreciation to Sarlis, as he feels the warmth of his companion touch flowing trough him. “Thank you my friend, I think I’ll be ok now” When some of his strength has returned to him, the rogue gets up and retrieves his daggers.

Ooc: Majin how much did Sarlis his CLW heal me for?
