[The Mythar Resistance] On The Trail

Hearing the kobolds words, Uiim goes ashen. "Light!", he yells, "We need light! Spread out - there may be more of these things about! Secure a perimeter!" The old gnome looks to Tau, "You finish your examination..." He then moves over to the fire and lights some torches and begins placing them in a ring around the campsight...

Tau continues to examine the body, trying to remember everything he has learned about his hated oppressors. At Uiim's warning that there may be more about, Tau manifests, synesthete and lowers his blindfold. He concentrates momentarily to gain focus before continuing his search, he will not be caught off guard again.
 

DM:
alright I guess sense I see ti go down first I won't fire of course but I will start my search around the parameter about 10 feet into the trees is all then report back. Oh I also want to get anything I can off the body.
 

Tau examines the body, although he is utterly mystified by the creature; it is nothing like anything he has ever seen or heard of before. It seems to be a lithe humanoid body, almost similar to an elves, however the head is slightly more elongated and devoid of any features. It's androgynous body is completely smooth, flat black skin which only now seems to register correctly with your vision. The gray ichor that seeps from its wounds seems to twist the light, making it appear fuzzy. It wears no clothing at all except for a harness with which it carries a rapier sheath, a number of daggers and a shortbow of dark purple crystal. The items are generally nondescript although Uiim instantly recognizes the dark purple crystal of the shortbow as being the same type as his rapier, perhaps of Mythar origin.

The investigation is delayed by Uiim's call to defense, as some strike up torches and Tau manifests his synesthete power and search the perimeter everything seems unsettling as secure as before the creature arrived. Whatever allowed the creature to slip in unseen was more than mere hidden movement, it's very presence was blotted out from your mind.
 


Nassitch looked over the halfling that was cut initially, to see if there was anything he could do to save him.

Log said:
"I get what ever is on the body I calls it first. That is after I search the perimeter."

"Dibs?!? Dibs!!! No dibs, log, dead one killed before our eyes," Nassitch called. "Uiim will dole out as he sees fit . . . later . . . much later."

OOC: The halfling with the cut throat is beyond help?
 

Uiim frowns when he hears Log's words. "Respect for the dead, Log. The creatures' items will be given to those who can use them best, if at all." He then moves over to Paitsel and speaks quietly, but still loud enough for others to hear. He points to the dead creature and asks, "Paitsel, I am sorry for the loss of your charge, but do you have any idea what this...thing...was? Do you know if there could be others about?"
 

I think that whatever this is, may have used psionics to cloud our minds. I know of this power, having studied this stone I took off the body of a Huom once." Tau says, reaching into his small belt pouch and pulling out a cloudy black crystal. "Keep your eyes and your mind open."
