[The Mythar Resistance] On The Trail

[Ashy]

Uiim gratefully accepts Tau's help. "Thank you, lad - just get her arm, there you go... That should do it now..." Together, they lead her to the wagons and make her as comfortable as possible.

Once everyone has gathered, Uiim makes sure that they are alone and then tells them of the things which he recalled after hearing Layonarai's words (OOC: see spoiler in post 137). He asks if anyone has ever heard of anything similiar, or if anyone possesses any powers of items which might allow them to search for such a creature. He waits for their replies, nodding as each person speaks.

When all are finished, he then looks to Log. "Please explain to me what happened to you this morning, if you can." His tone holds an edge of disappointment and yet anger, much like a scolding father to a naughty son...

"Mythar will likely be here soon," Osric says to Uiim. "How do you suggest we explain this new wrinkle - or do we stay here at all?"

He remains mounted, keeping a wary eye on their immediate surroundings.

if I know anything then I will try telling it like I know. I figure I might have heard something but I don't know. If not then just forget these.

Well its not my fault you are are slow in responding. I was just making my rounds trying to help and get a little breakfast when I noticed some smoke over the trees I decided to take a look at what was happening sorry for not telling anyone but when it comes to smoke and a town I had to see if I could help anyone. Well I got there before you and had a look around no one seeing me except tau. But I guess he decided not to tell youy. Anywho after I saw you had it all under control I decided to scout the area looking for the culprit. I circled for about 100 feet and found nothing so I was heading back to report and heard the scream so came as fast as I could and thats the full truth.

 

[Ashy]

Uiim nods at Osric's words but does not respond right away, instead he looks Log full in the face and listens to his explanation closely. Once Log is finished, Uiim takes a deep breath and replies quietly.

"Log, I appreciate your concern both for what happened here and this group. I also appreciate your incentive and desire to be proactive in finding the culprit. However, you put this group-" the old gnome waves his hand towards the gathered throng, "at a severe, and in another - different - situation, possibly lethal disadvantage. I would hope that in the future, you will at least be so considerate of those who depend on you as to let at least one of us know where you are and what you are up to... If you would have been hurt or captured whilst you were invisible, we would have never known it and thus, would have never been able to help you."

Uiim runs his hand over his bald head and rubs his right temple for a moment. "I hope there will be no further need to discuss this issue again." He lets his words fall flat, like an arrow-striken dove.

*Kromgron looks at the others, and then quickly changes the mood. No one would cross Ulim after him saying something like that.*

"I've never heard of something like that... but I think we best leave before they get here. We want to lead them away from here," Kromgron offers.

Uiim looks to the dwarf, "Lead who away, Kromgron? The Mythar or this...this...thing?"

Olivia

Olivia's face darkens as she hears the plea of Layonarai followed by Uiim tale of the tainted human. She abandons the questioning of the villagers to approach their gnome leader once more. She whispers to him. "A dark an ancient spirit? This can't be good. Could this boy, Cantus, be the one calling this entity? Anyway, I think we might have found our culprit. If such a thing is trying to break free of some sort of confinement, we should try to find some way to prevent this." Olivia returns to her wagon and finds one of her crystal ball, the one attuned to her psychic abilities. She concentrates on it and tries to find out more information on this tainted ancient power.

Olivia is using her Crystal Ball of Wonderment to make an untrained knowledge check (arcana?)

 

[Ashy]

While waiting for Uiim to reply, the old gnome turns to listen to Olivia. He nods as she postulates as to the source of the murders and the possible actions of the dark entity. As she retreives her crystal ball, he adds, "Perhaps you could also check-" he indicates with the crystal ball by pointing with his chin, "at each of our two sites as well? Might you be able to get a better reading actually at the spot where the deed was done?"

He then looks to the kobold, "Nassitch, perhaps you should double check the scenes as well - I know Tau checked, but another set of eyes-" Uiim looks to Kimble, "and an extra nose could do no harm..."

"The Mythar. If we lead them away... I mean, er... Ah, I don't know," Kromgron stumbles to a halt uncertainly.

 

[Ashy]

Despite the seriousness of this morning's events, the gnome cannot help but to chuckle at the dwarf... He claps him on the back, looking from him to Osric. "Let us make ready to leave, as soon as Olivia, Nassitch and Kimble are done. We have an appointment to keep, after all."

Uiim helps get everyone moving and making preparations to leave and then sits and composes a quick letter, detailing all that is known about the situation to this point.
