The road to Vrux.
- Thread starter DarkMaster
- Start date
"I am Morrison, appointed by the church of Fharlanghn to investigate banditry along this road. My comrades and I have recently uncovered the traitorous activities of one known as Nadour. I am sick with killing for the day, let us talk of why you have turned outlaw, and perhaps reach an accord."

Morrison (roll Diplomacy 8) tries his best to convinced the figured behind the bush but his unable to get anything from him. "Your life doesn't interest me, PRIEST. We all know Nadour, so you aren't telling us much. I look at you three and seriously doubt that you will stop anything along this road, PRIEST.
You a priest of Fharlanghn dare call us outlaw, look at yourself in a mirror before you accuse anybody.
Enough talking now, all of you drop your weapon and lay down on the ground, before I get mad" The figure starts menacing you from the distance with his spear. Another men similarly dressed rises from another bush 5' feet away from him also armed with a spear and his head covered with a wrapped wool shirt, covering his head, nose and mouth.

Makas (dwarf warrior)
Makas waits patiently, readied, for Morrison to decide. Bandits in the desert weren't a real problem, and maybe these will be much the same. While fully ready to commit to whatever course is decided, he is conscious that their numbers are smaller than when they started and that Morrison and Calondor are both injured.

Calondor (half-elf bard)
Calondor drops his bow then bow's "I am Calondor teller of tales and singer of songs, pardon my companion he's had a rather rough day. Now must you really solve this with violence?. I personally would much rather this be a friendly affair, perhaps we could even discuss membership of our less... zealous group members, they do have useful talents after all." Calondor looks to Fror's wagon then says "Let us talk while we eat perhaps?"

As the half elf steps up it becomes clear to Morrison and Makas that Calondor tongues can be as deadly as their swords and fists. (Diplomacy roll 16 + 7 -2 for Morrison attempt). Even making up for Morrison failed attempts.
The men who seems to be leading the group, answers back to Calondor. "I agree with you this should not be solved by violence, but we can't let you bring death to our village like that. We are not here to kill innocent as you seems to think. We accepted that your church protect us for free. Thats what you said but then you brough up death with you as a price for your safety. Our wifes and children are slaves of your church now and will never accept that. " The men seems visibely very sad, his voice slowly filling up with sadness and emotional pain. He lowers his spear. " I only ask you to give us your wagon, and we will let you go unharmed. You have my word" The men voice doesn't seems as menacing as before and he doesn't threathen you with his spear anymore. The other men with a woolen shirt on the head also lowers his spears but keep his eyes on you at all time.

With surprise Morrison responds "You are men of the village?!! We bring these weapons to arm the village! We have 2 men, too injured to move this night, but come stay with us this evening and in the morning we will deliver the weapons to your village. I should warn you that our men were injured fighting Nadour, and that unfortunatly Nadour escaped, so there is every chance he will come back. Tell us what you know of Nadour, for we were unaware of his crimes until this day."

OOC I will assume Calondor continue his diplomatic effort.
Morrison helped by Calondor are able to get the sympathy from the robbers. (diplomacy 8 + 7)
The leader steps forwards " So you really don't know what are in these boxes. Come with us in our hideout in the forest and I will show you. If you are a real man of faith then you will have to ask some questions to your leaders. He turns towards the other making a sign with his arm and fingers. In a few seconds you can see poorly disguised villager coming out of various bushes and tree. They might not be well trained but there was no way Morrison, Makas and Calondor could have survived one of their attack. The men then turns back towards Calondor and takes a patch of herbs out of his belt pouch. He then offers it to Calondor. Give that to your compagnion it should at least help one of them. These are magical herbs prepared by our Leader the great Yv'vuss". Some of the villager approaches the wagon, one of them pull out a small rod and casts a spell on the wagons. "Quick come with us before Nadour comes back with reinforcement from the village"
OOC From the name you all recognises that Yv'vuss is an elf.
