X4-5: across the mountains - IC

"You guys are crazy!" Dressla observes.

"So, it won't attack?" She pulls the gate back open. Beyond, on the huge staircase, the large skeleton lurks, with the dark metal axe grasped in its bony claw. It turns to look, but remains where it stands.

"The mountains ... I think I know where we are! I'm heading back home to the desert. Goodbye, Aram, everyone. Good luck. You'll need it."

Cautiously she makes her way past the troll skeleton, then continues down the giant staircase, to the valley below, headed east towards the desert.

"The line between genius and insanity is a thin one, fair Dressla," replies Aram. He offers the woman a short bow. "Fare thee well on your journey, and keep wary. The region is dangerous."

 

[kinem]

Dressla winks at Aram, waves goodbye and continues down the long staircase and into the valley. Eventually, she can no longer be seen from the vantage point of the gate.

As Dressla is leaving, but before she gets very far away at all, Bevin says, "Was it wise for us to allow her to leave unescorted? I ask not only out of concern for her, but concern for us as well."

"Well, she's gone either way, unless you want to go chase her down, but I think she might outrun you Bevin" Father Fuller says with a laugh

"Shall we go recover your missing axe?" he asks

 

[Rhun]

"She was what she seemed; a prisoner. I don't think we have anything to fear from her."

At Fuller's words, Aram considers. "My blades aren't exactly useful again a skeletal creature. I would prefer we find you a holy symbol so that you can deal with it properly. This is...er, was, your monastary, Father. Surely there must still be a few icons of your faith about."

Bevin "The Beguiler" Rockhammer, Beguiler9, AC:20/17/15 HP:56/56

"I do not know whether she will betray us or not. Aram seems convinced that she will not. Let us hope that he is correct. Father Fuller, what's that you say about 'my axe?' "

 

[renau1g]

"Very true oh desert warrior, perhaps we should have a look around the area it is guarding. Not trying to take the weapon before we're ready?" Father Fuller suggests

 

[Leif]

"Forgive me, Father Fuller, but I did not follow your meaning at all. The area what is guarding? What weapon are you referring to, and when do you expect to be 'ready to take it'? I find your riddles quite confusing, sir."
