[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 4662208, member: 21938"] OOC: Just a quick note. Some GMs use NPCs as a mouthpiece to try to guide the PCs along a particular path. I don't. So don't feel like you have to do what the NPCs say - sometimes it isn't always the best option. ;) IC: Xielt grumbles something about hiding in tall grass being easier than hiding in a house, but joins Three Flowers in the attic. The others deploy themselves around Salmon and Iris's house as best they can - the smaller Jar'Thol and Eagle Annika finding it easiest. You hear the sounds of not-quite-hooves coming to a stop outside, and a voice calls out [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"Salmon! Iris! Here now!"[/COLOR] Salmon glances about. [COLOR="Pink"]"We'd better go,"[/COLOR] he whispers. [COLOR="LightBlue"]"We'll try to stall him,"[/COLOR] adds Iris. The two of them leave the house and you hear Master Salmon's voice. [COLOR="Pink"]"To what does Heartsflow owe the honour of your presence, O Prince?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"Don't play games, Salmon. The Ice Demon is dead, the Ropoko Gate has opened. Have you got mortals here?"[/COLOR] The voice is unctuous and lyrical. "Your Highness," says Iris, sounding shocked. [COLOR="LightBlue"]"We would never disobey the laws of your father." [/COLOR] [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"]"Start searching the houses!"[/COLOR] says the Prince's voice. You hear the jingle and rustle of men in armour moving, then crashes and bangs. Not from Salmon's house, but nearby. Prince Flood's voice drops low and menacing, but still carries clearly. [COLOR="MediumTurquoise"] "You two had better tell me the truth. If you hand over the mortals, you can go free. If we find out you've been lying, my father will be very, [I]very[/I], displeased with you. [I]I [/I]will be very, [I]very[/I] displeaed with you. Do you understand what that means, Master Salmon? Do you comprehend the endless torments you will have to endure, or to watch Mistress Iris here endure? Now, tell me. Where. Are. The.
