Garrick takes a brief moment to study the wyrd woman before him as Blackleaf attacks, watching how she moves before quickly enchanting his staff.

In his haze, Nothus swings his staff at the thing that tried to hurt him...
Blackleaf continues to attack, despite his two-legged companion's strange behaviour.

Nothus... ..whacks himself in the head with his staff trying to clear it... and is surprised when it works. Now, he can go north!
Nothus turns, raising his staff and moving forward, while calling out to his small companion, "Pull her down, Blackleaf."

Nothus says, "Focus on Zakiyya. The others aren't so... dedicated... and may be more reasonable if she is out of the way."
Nothus shrugs, "I thought we were still worried about others reaching our destination first? As much as the hospitality is appreciated, I think we need to keep going."
Nothus feels something pulling at him as he watches the girls, at first thinking it's a bit of embarrassment at their original state of undress, then slowly realizing that it's something about their behaviour... Stop thinking about Ndombe's baudy tales and pay attention..., he chides himself. Nothus chuckles, "An interesting offer, though I'd be scared at how Bitterleaf would react if you tell us something other than 'cat'.. Speaking of, do you mind if I share some of what you've shared with us with him?" He stands, and reaches forward to take some meat, whispering in Elven to Shalissa, "There's something not right here, three of the girls are not ... present... Like thralls., then stepping away from the table to find some space that allows him to throw the meat up in the air, calling, "Catch", as his furry companion leaps to capture its meal.
Nothus says, "Other than being unnaturally terrified, we're good."
Nothus finds a place to hide from the man in the mask, dragging his cat with him.
Nothus completes his spell and the air becomes charges as three lightning elementals appear around the troll and attack. He whistles to Blackleaf, directing the cat use his speed to charge the necromancer instead.

Nothus shakes his head, "Why do they need to fly? Blackleaf, get the corpse." The small cat rushes forward to attack the zombie, trying to bite and pull the creature down. for As his companion attacks, Nothus begins to cast a complex spell.
"If it's only been a few hours, we might be able to find a trail," and begins to look about for just such a thing to follow.
Nothus looks for a moment, "Too bad we can't figure out what they might have learned... it'd give us a hint of who did the asking."
Nothus shrugs, "I'm less worried about our ability to fight as our ability to resist magics that take us out of the fight. Still, I do think sneaking in is good."
Nothus says, "I could send an animal, but not today."
Yes - so I guess I should map out line of sight to know when Nothus can stop running- though he can't remove fear, so it won't really change much.
Nothus and his companion continue their excellent plan of running away.
Druid and cat both run away from the ape.
Nothus releases his breath, "Well done, Ndombe."
That sounds like fun! Enjoy!
Nothus says, "I don't have a speak with animals to ask the dolphins to do that, but could do it tomorrow morning."
Nothus keeps a neutral expression and an even tone as he says to the group, "Your little friend seems to love us a lot, Neltji. Enough that she's following us."
Nothus says, "As much fun as it would be to warp their ships or call lightning to blast them.... I'm thinking we'd best move on quickly without attracting even more attention to ourselves."
Wife and family got into a car accident and just getting back to normal life. Will be posting here this weekend Wow, sorry to hear that.
Nothus sighs, "The name of a ship is something, anyway. Guessing that folks who know what we're up to are trying to grab our information and details and beat us there.... wonder if we would have been better off telling everyone we were accepting their offer - if only to keep them from getting in our way, now." Nothus nods, "Agreed, let's hand him over. He, and his companions, were clearly meant to be disposable cat's paws. There's no gain to holding on to him."
Nothus shakes his head, muttering, "Aye, how'd that work out for you..." He says, "Got more than 'pirate looking'? Size of the group? Ages? Race? Hair? Eyes?"
Nothus chuckles, then realizes the bard is serious. Apparently I've given too much credit to 'assassins'
Nothus completes his spell, and there's a sudden ruffle of wind and smell of mountain air as an eagle appears in the window, behind the agent attacking Cevill.
Nothus comes out of his room, Blackleaf on his heels, and his quarterstaff in hand. Unsure of anything other than the group being attacked, he begins to cast a spell to call for help.
Probably worth poking him, then? And also botting?
Seconded. Only thing is that Nothus will certainly not want to be separated from Blackleaf.
The rooms seems pretty small to share - so I'm thinking some of us might end up on the floor in the common area.
Nothus says. "I'd be fine taking the first, so I have time to rest before communing with nature... And Blackleaf's eyes and nose are quite useful in the dark."
Nothus pauses, then whispers in Elven, "No, I imagine she's hoping to sell information about us. Assuming she's not already been hired to spy."
I'm going to be offline until the 11th. Feel free to bot Nothus as needed.
Nothus nods, then passes the child a goodberry, "In addition to some coin, let me fill your belly as well."
Nothus shakes his head, "Another skilled blade is welcome, as long as it doesn't end up in our backs."
Nothus shakes off the effect of the creature's roar, directing Blackleaf to attack as he steps forward, staff in had.
