"Were I planning a surprise assault on a force such as ours, this would prove an opportune moment. Be on guard at all times."
Engineer tries to follow his own advice, but is far from perceptive.
Lumen looks at the box with distaste. "Korihor, what you just felt was an attempt to assault your bones, fracture and break them. Whoever we're dealing with fights dirty and plays for keeps."
In Goblin: "Be vigilant. I notice we have been followed by a dangerous appearing blond elf male. Last seen wearing white shirt, brown pants, and boots. Unknown if armed or otherwise capable of causing harm. Remain on guard."
Engineer will take point along with Zevon, hands loose and ready to grab stone, club, or crossbow.
You feel a wave of energy flow through you and a strange swelling in your bones as the jester pointing at you and the laughter begins then the swelling stops.
you also notice the blonde haired elf as #3

In Goblin: "Be vigilant. I notice we have been followed by a dangerous appearing blond elf male. Last seen wearing white shirt, brown pants, and boots. Unknown if armed or otherwise capable of causing harm. Remain on guard."
Engineer will take point along with Zevon, hands loose and ready to grab stone, club, or crossbow.
Responding in Goblin "I've seen one as well."
In common "I've noticed an elf following us : green tunic with a high collar, matching pants, black boots. "
As the group travels the streets, Daxur will occasionally pause at a merchant's stall and as the trader entreats him to purchase this and that ( if they even try to sell to him, being a Goblin). He stands there with his hands on his hips and will slowly turn to look back at the elf he saw.
Try to discern his intent.
Sense Motive ?
As it becomes more & more apparent the party is being trailed at the least, Beauregard surreptitiously loosens his Rapier from it's scabbard & begins searching for likely choke &/or ambush points on their way.
Korihor moves along with the others. "Beauregard...be ready to disappear. Follow this elf. On my signal." She says looking at the halfling.
Daxur as you do this a few merchants rudely assist you and others who notice your clothing cheerful chit chat with you. You sense that the elf following you is curious, and he even walks by you saying Goodday sir
Beaurgard you notice several places between merchant booths alley corners that perfect for an ambush
As you all prepare to deal with the elves,they slowly drop back
Engineer remains on point, looking for trouble from the forward and side directions.
Lumen shudders as she catches the box.
"This box is ^@#$^$ed up!" she mutters, taking in the fact that the elves are falling back.
Zevon remains with Engineer on point, alert for possible surprises ahead.
"Perhaps not everyone who is following us has fallen back. Do we continue on the shortest route to the orphanage or shall I take you on a small detour to see if we spot additional spies?"
"Does your detour have a nice dark alley we can make use of?"
Zevon grins:
that shouldn't be a problem. It is indeed quite crowdy today on the streets.
Engineer makes sure a stone of control sound is handy.
"Understood. If our plan requires 'bait', please allow myself to be used."
give me a knowledge local,or just a straight kniwledge ck
what you doing with the clock
give me spot checks
spot
knowl. local
knowledge(religon)
what you doing with the clock
LUMEN: As you hold the clock, you hear gears spin and turn
DAXUR and #3: you know its the symbol of Olladra
KORIHOR: you believe the symbol is of the Traveler
Ah, I believe our followers may be friends of the Temple keeping an eye on us, mine sports the symbol of Olladra. Appearances may deceive, though, so vigilance ,friends, vigilance." Daxur says.
"Oh." Korihor says, looking around. [b]"Never mind." she smiles sardonically.
while you hold the clock and the spinning og gears stop,the cockoo doors open and the laughter strats a translucent gray ray leaps from the pointing jester figurine and a local woman screams. You notice the sound of cracking and shattering bone and feel bloody flesh land on your arn and the clock.
EVERYONE: Hear a blood curling scream from a woman near by as the luaghter from the clock begin once more.As you notice the womans flesh torn arm and some of gore upon Lumen and the clock.
"By the Blood!" Beauregard exclaims as he rushes to the maimed woman. Upon returning, "Give me that if you aren't going to keep it concealed."
"If you are unable to contain the device, perhaps it were best rendered inoperable, Beauregard Jorasco."
Engineer stands next to the halfling, ready to smash the box into splinters if he gives the word.
"Engineer is right. I think it's best if we destroy it. Anyway, we shouldn't wait for the clock to start running again! "
Turning to Beauregard:
"How is the woman? Should we take her back to the temple? "
as you help the woman with her arm, you see the flesh jagged and torn with bites of bone jutting out. You stop the bleedding before she passes out.
once your done helping the woman. You use some picks and pin from your tool kit to lock and jamb the gears and cockoo door shut.
[occ]yes youi are still close to the temple about two blocks away[/ooc]
