Neroli attempts to make a show out of spellcraft. She focuses her mind, waves her hand, and weaves together a small object out of ambient ectoplasm. She's going for a small kinetic sculpture of some sort, something that's only got aesthetic value. She's hoping to impress them by summoning it from nothing, as she's not much of a craftsman.
"What led you to this change of heart? Who have you talked to, and where have you been in the last day?" Neroli asks the two of them.
Neroli nods. "Yes, let's head back... but I fear that somebody is doing something to everybody in this town. We may have to start snooping around."
Neroloi's brow furrows. "This is very disturbing." She holds up the ring. "If this doesn't belong to somebody you might know, could you tell us what jeweler in town is likely to have made it or sold it?"
When the time seems appropriate, she will approach Gregor and say, "Excuse me -- we are travelers from out of town. The caravan we were traveling with was attacked. We haven't been able to learn much about the town, but looking around it seems that stone masonry is pretty important here. We were hoping that you might be able to help us figure some things out."
Neroli will walk in and observe politely and quietly for a short time, not wanting to interrupt the work if it's going to cause offense. She'll try to find a time to announce their presence that is least likely to draw Gregor's annoyance towards them, while at the same time most likely to give the son some relief from that ire.
Hey all -- I'm about 6 messages behind right now. Will try to catch up shortly. I'm on the road at the minute; an unexpected family issue came up two days ago, and my wife and I quickly make travel plans. I'll be travelling for the rest of the week. I think I can keep up with the game, but in case I'm slow to respond, that's what's going on.
"What an odd town," Neroli says. "I can't help but think that the thumb of House Durran under which all of these people are living is not a benevolent thumb." "As for the hanoshafyr -- given that all of us possess psionic abilities, if they stay true to form they will not attack us. Perhaps we could seek them out and find a way to communicate with them? Not only might we be uniquely positioned to find out why they attack the town, and what they have against the non-psionic, but perhaps they might also provide some information for us about House Durran. After all, they have been observing this town since the beginning."
Neroli grimaces. "At least the bartender talked to us to tell us he couldn't help us. But everybody else here seems extremely unfriendly. To us, to each other. What do those caravan guards have against us? Do they think we brought the attack on the caravan?" When discussing where to go next, Neroli agrees with Aris that the market is a good place to go.
"Come, let's go to the tavern," Neroli suggests. "There's usually somebody at a tavern who can tell us what's what."
Neroli nods. "The common people don't seem interested in the attacks. Perhaps the town guards can shed some light on this. I fear it is probably already too late to help the caravan members, but we have to try. Come!"
Neroli sounds sad as she speaks to the others upon reachign Jace's Stanchion. "I hated to abandon the caravan like that; there's little hope anybody is alive. If only we could have spoken with those creatures! They seemed to respect the psionic. Doubtless there is a long and ugly history of conflict that we could not overcome. Still, I feel like we've abandoned those under our care."
Neroli attempts to identify the creatures attacking:
"Together, fight our way to the path so we can get to the town!" she calls, moving with the others.
What do the attackers look like? Do we know anything about them?
Neroli is as fascinated as she is dismayed. Who are these strange creatures? Why are they attacking this caravan so resolutely? Press on they must, and vigilant they must remain, but she also continued to observe these creatures and try to understand how they fit into the universal pattern. "Yes, we shall fight our way through," she says in a quiet voice. "But keep our eyes open for any signs that may tell us what these creatures are and why they are attacking us."
Sorry guys... I've flaked twice, I know. Busy beginning of the week this week.
Hey guys, sorry about the delay. The thread fell off my radar, since it's not in my "Campaigns" tab yet. Here's my alias. About to dot the Gameplay thread. |
