(YBA) Drax in Wicht's Lair

[Wicht]

Drax makes the southern gate in good time and without incident.

 

[Dalamar]

Brr. Hope I don't run to another werewolf here.
Drax heads towards north west, as instructed, trying to spot any more of the rats.

 

[Wicht]

Northwest from the gate leads over cemetery ground. As he climbs uphill, Drax can see two crypts above him.

The closest one, just west of him, to his left, seems to have broken statues in front of it and though he is not sure, he thinks he hears some giggling coming from its vicinity.

The other one is further north, its back faces to the east and Drax cannot make out much of it at this distance.

 

[Dalamar]

"No rats here... but who's giggling?"
Drax starts heading for the giggle.

 

[Wicht]

As Drax heads towards the crypt from which comes the giggling, he sees a child's face appear over a tombstone. The face winks and then dissapears again. Drax sees another one now to his right. It is an even younger child with an angelic smile. The young girl watches him. Despite her charming looks, she appears dirty and malnourished.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax turns to face the child on his right, making sure to keep an eye in the direction of the first kid.
"Well hello there. What are you doing here?"
He tries to look and act as unthreatening as possible.

 

[Wicht]

The child says nothing, but continues to smile sweetly. Another child, possibly the first one Drax saw, is now standing just behind Drax, looking thin and underfed, but very sweet and innocent in appearance. Drax would estimate the girl at about four years of age and the boy behind him at about seven.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax goes, in his mind, through everything that he has and comes to the conclusion that he has really nothing he could offer for these children.
"Are you lost? I could take you to the city and get you something to eat."

 

[Wicht]

"Food" says the boy behind Drax, a gleam in his eye, his smile growing bigger.

"Food" repeats the girl. She is standing just next to Drax, though he did not hear her move. Her smile too is bigger. The boy reaches up and touches Drax on the arm, his smile becoming just a bit softer and sweeter.

 

[Dalamar]

"So you can talk. What's you name? The gate's this way."
Drax starts heading towards the gate, seeing if the children are going to follow him.
