Bah, to the waves with your water. Its likely tainted. Boil it, bless it, cleanse it, but by the gods don't drink it. Wuuthred points to an alcove filled with a large lit fire brazier. You can set a pot there to boil it, there should be one around this mess. I need to tend to the rest of Jek's brood. I will return in an hour, perhaps two. Wuuthred takes off running to one of the walls. He leaps upward, clearing an 8-foot ledge in the wall and walking away.
Wuuthred motions Rudolph to the far wall, which has a cracked and stained banquet table lined with half made contraptions. There is a clear space half the way down. At the mention of healing, Wuuthred says to Okrin: Yes please sir Paladin. Magic is not necessary, but i am unable to provide more than basic first aid.
Wuuthred then explains to the others: Those were Ankhegs, Acid sputters from the deep caves of the mountains. Something has been... Experimenting with the life of the island, warping them into these parasites that feed off of other things. Now, why did you go into the forest?
Wuuthred seems to freeze when you mention the tigers. Why in this godless hell did you go into the forest? I told you all to come up the beach, because it was safe! The forrest is full of twisted creatures and darker things! Wuuthred turns away from you all for a moment muttering. He turns back suddenly and says What exactly did you fight?
To all but Rudolph, the large turtle man appears from the tocks as if by magic. His passing reveals a small path threading through the rocks. He looks around and behind the party, as if checking for others, and then motions you all to follow, remaining silent for the entire encounter. He leads you through the trail to a cave set just passed the tide line, the stone wet and covered in lichen. He motions you all ahead into the cave, and as you all pass through, Wuuthred rearms several large ship based artillery and trip explosives, obviously the traps he rushed ahead to disarm. You soon find yourself in a moderate cavern within the rock, and from the crates and salvage filling most of the space, it is obviously Wuuthreds home. He moves to the bedside of another man within the cave, looking rather cold and weak. While you all were taking your d*mn sweet time, another ship bottomed out in the coral. I fished this one out of the ocean shortly. Now, where in the bloody hell were you!
Wuuthred just looks around at you all. "I...have a cave higher up the coast. It will take you about an hour to reach it. If you continue along the beach in that direction," He points off to the east. "you should reach the area, and I will signal you from there. should go ahead and disable the traps. Wuuthred jumps up, and I mean UP, about 20 ft, and flies ahead of you, speeding away.
Wuuthred seems ponderous as he thinks of the answer to Aiden's question. Absently he says You need not worry about him coming back. He wont be standing for a day or 2. But he's not dead. He seems to come to a thought and turns to Aiden. I have seen 3 Elders beside this one, but there are 5 total. But there are more, their servants, the Forged. I have killed 2, I have seen 4 more, but I hear them at night. There are yet more around the island.
I had a name once, though It has been long since I heard it in another's voice. I am Wuuthred, and welcome our collective graves. He gestures around to the general island.
I don't remember how I got here. There were people with me, I remember that. They died on the first day, except myself and another. He died on the second. I found water, food from wreckage. Jek brings me fish sometimes, don't you Jek? *The turtle*:Nyaa! Wuuthred smiles, petting his turtle.
Wuuthred looks kind of dumb-struck. He sits down, petting the turtle strapped to his arm. No, no, we aren't hurt. It was only a minor Elder. It can't hit us. But, you people, why are you here? How did you get here? Why did you piss off a godd*mn Elder??
Wuuthred moves, and looks completely dumbfounded that you were able to move him. You...you can move me?. Wuuthred immediatelty gets in Aiden's face, pinching his cheeks, poking and shoving.
Okrin:
From the way he speaks, you catch edges and nuances of insanity. When you hear him say 'I will deal with you later.' , you feel no violent intent. Bit and extreme sense of tired resignation. From referring to aiden as a voice in his brain, you can tell that he doesn't really think any of you are real. Wuuthred notices Okrin watching and stops his jumping. He seems to flare with sudden anger, and he charges Okrin. He grabs you by the front of your clothes. He scream in your face, And as for you, I know you aren't real, damnit! I though the first ones were real, and they could help me when I needed it! The next tried to convince me they were real too, but I have a trick now! If you're so f*ucking real, HIT ME, prove that you're real you godd*mn mirage!
Wuuthred lands, and begins to hop around, screaming Suck on that you giant fish-sh*t covered stone-scum! In his happiness, he seems to have forgotten the party, for now.
Hearing Aiden speak, Wuuthred replies Shut-it, brain! I will deal with you later!. As the collosi strikes, Wuuthred flips from the things head, leaving the Collosi to smash itself in the head. Ignorant stone-scum!.
Wuuthred lands on the collosi's head,stabbing down. Back to the seas, d*mn you, back!.
Wuuthred laughs as he evades the club. Ha, your Shaper must have been missing a hand, you clumsy, slow-witted son of a b*tch! Turtle:Nyaa! Wuuth:You tell 'um boy!
Wuuthred clings to the seaweed furred along the collosi's back, rooting in it to find a hold, and then rears back and shoves his sword into its back.
D*mnit, an Elder. Maybe I can push him back. Wuuthred hurls himself off of the Collosi, Shouting at is in a gutteral and grating tongue to go, to leave. |
