The Romance of the River Kingdoms

[The Rolling Man]

Jar'Thol, Salsham'ai shaman

Jar'Thol salutes the two men in common human fashion. "Well met fellows. I wonder however, is anything wrong ? Why did Vashi Tallu send you out here to meet us ? She could have come herself or just waited for us to come into town."

[SBLOCK=OOC]Was there anyone with some 'health' wounds after the fight with the greedy spirit ? If so, Jar'Thol would have used a cure light wounds or 2. I'm guessing all 'grace' damage should be gone by now.[/SBLOCK]

Noticing the small shaman's reaction, Ape looks around for possible hidden beings.

ooc: Spot +7

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: Rolling Man, yes, all Grace damage is healed. Only Xielt, the tlaxu punchbag, took any Health damage and one CLW would have sorted this out.


"She's down at the river. She thought you'd need some light on your way," says the man, holding his lantern aloft for emphasis. "So, you coming?"

[SBLOCK="Growling Ape"]
The streets are mostly empty at this time of night, with lanterns strung up across them at intervals. About a block down the street, Ape can see another two men loitering in the shadows between lanterns. They seem unarmed, dressed in simple peasant clothes, showing interest in your discussion.

"Are you two the only ones she send for us?" Ape asks the men.

 

[The Rolling Man]

Jar'Thol, Salsham'ai shaman

OOC : Jar'Thol would have use a clw on the Tlaxu then, so he only has one 1st lvl and one 0 lvl spell.

"Eehh, no, I'm not coming with you. I rather think you're lying, since you don't even seem to know the Vashi's real name. Now, will you stop lying and tell us what you really want ?" The little salsham'ai says, trying to sound confident. Having a few armed companions helps a lot.

 

[Redclaw]

Xielt, still smoothing his fur after the drenching and beating he took, looks up in alarm at Jar'Thol's words. He makes no move toward his claw stick, but he is certainly on alert, in case the humans take offense, or the salsham'ai proves correct.

 

[Shayuri]

Annika's eyes widen, and she crouches down into a posture that suggests she's about to run, or jump away.

"You and your two friends down there" Ape nods, indicating a point a block down the street in the shadows between the lanterns as he is speaking "should go home now. Or they will be get hit with a big stick." He shows his quarterstaff, reciting the strange words that give it the power of a living oak.

 

[Blackrat]

His companions seemed distrustfull of these strangers and so Three Flowers moves slightly in a fluid motion to place his hand on the hilt of White Lotus.

"Are you two the only ones she send for us?" Ape asks the men.

The man with the lantern is about to reply when...

"Eehh, no, I'm not coming with you. I rather think you're lying, since you don't even seem to know the Vashi's real name. Now, will you stop lying and tell us what you really want ?" The little salsham'ai says, trying to sound confident. Having a few armed companions helps a lot.

They look amused at Jar'Thol and slightly taken aback by his sudden outburst. "Easy mate, we're just here to help," he says, exchanging grins with his partner.

"You and your two friends down there" Ape nods, indicating a point a block down the street in the shadows between the lanterns as he is speaking "should go home now. Or they will be get hit with a big stick." He shows his quarterstaff, reciting the strange words that give it the power of a living oak.

Looking between Jar'Thol, Ape, Three Flowers and Xielt, the man with the lantern gives a brief nod.

"As you want, mate," he says. "We ain't gonna stop you."

He steps aside, gesturing for his companion to do the same. The two of them watch the group with a mixture of amusement and hostility. Further down the street, the other two that Ape pointed out move back into the shadows.

OOC: I'm treating this as an Intimidate attempt by Jar'Thol, aided by Three Flowers and Growling Ape (Xielt is there but not actively doing anything threatening). The result lies behind my virtual DM screen...
