Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 2942850" data-attributes="member: 7006">The lizardman's eyes grow wider a bit and he appears to get a little nervous.  This nervousness Nelson correctly attributes to the lizardman actually not really knowing the answers to the questions he's being asked, and being afraid that the party won't believe him.  (Nelson Sense Motive TN 10 / 10+7=17 *success*)  "Numbersss?  Of humansss?  I only ssseesss a few, but I wasssn't in the humansss camp on the beach but onccce."  His eyes dart back and forth, and you can almost see a pleading in them... as though he's hoping the group believes what he says to be true.  "Accentsss?  Dressssss?  Unusssual?  What do you mean?  All humansss ssspeak and look like humansss.  The few I sssaw from the beach were more cccivil to usss than you folksss from the town ever were, but they look and sssound like you."  When he notices that this doesn't seem to satisfy his captors, he tries to think of some specific things he could mention.  "One wasss missssssing an arm, one had a long ssscar acrossssss hisss faccce... that'sss all."Nelson considers what has been said and believes him to be telling the truth.  He knows that Seawell and the Scaled Might have had many incidents in the past 10 years or so, and that it's absolutely concievable that they'd hold a grudge against the town (just as the town has held an obvious grudge against pretty much all lizardfolk since before he can remember).  As far as accents and particular manners of dress, both Nelson and Khalia come to the conclusion that unless this one has had direct contact the with town's militia (the only people from Seawell that could concievably have the same recognizable "look" - i.e. their uniforms), humans would all speak with the same strange human-accented draconic and would wear dress that to the lizards would be "unusual", just as pretty much all the lizardfolk look and sound "like lizardfolk" to each of them.Zan doesn't find anything else of note on the bodies, and he stands over the pile of stuff that Taviss had gathered, waiting to see if the group wants him to check for anything magical.Taviss' tracking of the lizardfolk takes him down towards the lighthouse a little ways, but actually skirts north of it and continues on past through the trees.  He knows the lighthouse sits on a slim rocky peninsula, and the beach continues southwest from it, but at the distance he follows the tracks (which actually isn't that far from the party), he can tell that the lizardfolk did not make a beeline from the beach directly to where they found the party.  Thus any contact the lizards had with the people on the beach presumably did not happen this morning.</blockquote>
