[Scott DeWar]

John racks his brain as to a precident for a talking familiar.

Rosalia notices that the cat is indeed the point of origin of the voice and she looks at her comrades, puzzled, and in particular at Thrindar who doesn't seem to react to his pet's sudden surge in intelligence and vocal chords ability.

She gets closer and says to 'Toby': "Yes we are all very sleepy.. we should go back to sleep.. but tell me, shouldn't you be running after some mice right now, huh?.. Oh and sorry but what's your name again??"

Rosalia wonders whether the cat realizes that he is a cat. She shows no sign of aggressivity.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"I should have expected that from a dwarf mage." states Tuk and let his chain at rest.

 

[Yttermayn]

John thinks hard. There have been talking familiars before, but they were usually the familiars of very powerful wizards and sorcerers. Roderic detects no evil coming from the cat, though with the intense background of evil coming from this place it's hard to be certain. Thrindar doesn't seem too fazed by the sudden change in his companion. He actually seems like he's still very, very groggy. After a moment, he flops back down into his bedroll and resumes snoring. The cat watches Thrindar for a moment and them replies to Rosalia. "Mice? I'm not touching anything from this cave. Black goo..."

 

[Amaury]

Rosalia looks at her comrades with an expression saying 'see, I'm talking to a cat' on her face and resumes her chat: "Good choice, good choice.. hum, tell me, what do you know about this black goo?? And.. since when are you gifted with speech? I mean human speech.. "

John is momentarily distracted by the sight of the chain bakini sagging just so . . then realizes that a thought occured to him about talking familiars.
"Um, I recall that a talking familiar only is summoned by the most powerful of mages. I am not sure that we are talking to the cat here, rosey."

Grok Half-Orc Cleric2

Having nothing to say to the cat, the novelty for Grok wears off quickly, and he goes back to bed.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Scrag smiles at Grok and gives him a hearty slap on the back as a way of thanks. He then looks curiously at Toby as a disgusting thought hits him, "Talking cats taste bad?"

It seems as if he is trying to reconcile his taste for cats with his human-taught lessons about not eating animals that talk (i.e. people).

 

[Yttermayn]

"Gifted? Cursed more like it. It kinda felt like I woke up, but more so. Then I could speak like you hominids and I don't know why, or how. And the black goo smells bad. Beyond that, I would guess you guys know more than I do. Most of this time I've just been a dumb animal." Toby watches Grok lay back down again and looks up at Scrag. "Taste bad? Why do you think we bury our poop?"

Scrag smiles at Grok and gives him a hearty slap on the back as a way of thanks. He then looks curiously at Toby as a disgusting thought hits him, "Talking cats taste bad?"

It seems as if he is trying to reconcile his taste for cats with his human-taught lessons about not eating animals that talk (i.e. people).

As he is laying down, Grok acknowledges Scrag's 'thanks' with a snarl that only a troll would understand as ever possibly meaning 'you're welcome, buddy.' Then, as he is burying his head under his blanket, Grok says, "Grok not know. You eat one foot and tell Grok how it is."
