Darkwood--Glimmer of Hope

Kali hails the group keeping watch, focusing upon the Dark Elf.

"We're seeking employment. Where might we find the one called Myrdag?"

The Dark elf look at you with a sneer...."What makes you think you're worth his time?"

The humans shuffle around a bit, the dwarf shakes his head while grinning...

"It's not his time we want, it's his gold. That we were able to waltz up to your main camp would show our worth."

"Also, if we are turned away we might get bored. Seeing as the only things nearby to relieve our boredom would impact your operation, I'm sure your fellows," she motions to the humans and dwarf, "would be delighted to explain to your boss how you could have prevented an annoyance, but didn't."

He looks slightly smugly at Kalindriel....before looking startled, then rather...nervous. Quickly, assuming an air of utter confidence.."Very well. You may actually be deserving of his time." He gestures, and the others shrug and move aside.

Skyseeker blows him a kiss, mockingly....and saunters away, a trilling laugh echoing in her wake, an auditory sneer of her own...hers, sure and triumphant where his was mere braggadocio.

As we stalk menaciningly into the camp. Smile at the Elf.

Not the 'Hi, I'm Katrina' smile. This is the 'I'm hungry. Which part of you do I choose first.' smile. Lick lips accordingly.

FUN! Kali made him almost mess his pants FUN! SQUEEEEEEEE!

I saunter past the group, slowly spinning one end of my flail, the way a knife-wielder would idly flick a knife in the air. I am relaxed, but I'm scanning the group for any hint of a threat as we pass.

The guards find somewhere else to be as your passing has utterly unnerved them.

With the guards scampering off, Kali signals to everyone to wait.

Keeping her voice low, she says, "They're up ahead. The cleric is trying to convince the barbarian that a group of saboteurs will be coming, covertly. That they don't know them, so they need to wait and it will become clear. He wants to go find them."

"Maybe we should find some 'spies', and bring them forth to show our worth. Maybe find their place of food and drink to mingle with their troops for the night. Find out a few 'facts' about them during the night." Her grin makes it clear she wants to cause the orcs trouble before dealing with the leaders.

Also whispering, Led replies. "The cleric knows that someone is coming tonight. Only a fool wouldn't suspect us, no matter what our disguise, if we arrived at his door today."

Thinking quickly, Led realizes something important. "Give them me. They don't know who or what we are. But all of you are similar enough to make it easy you're together. I stand out." He faces Kali directly, "I'm their enemy, along with a party of others. You fiends came across us this morning, and defeated us. You controlled my mind, like you have done with other enemies, and commanded me to help destroy my friends. So only I survived, of that group. And I follow you still."

"So, deliver me into their custody, and I will tell them truthfully of the two elves, the two humans and the half-elf in my party, who are gone now, and that I now follow your commands. They will not detect a lie, even with magic, though they will likely torture me anyway. But hopefully, my honest answers and my deliverance to them will 'prove' your story, and they will take you in."

Led begins to quietly take his items, anything of value, and put them into his saddlebags.

I say something in Ignan, and wave my hands in the air, towards Led.

Post by **Kalindriel Ec'urb** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:38 am

She nods at Sorchat. "I can make it so any detection they use would show you are enthralled. Are you willing to submit to a spell?"

Post by **Led Pighp** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 3:57 pm

"I'm submitting to torture. What's a little mind-control?"

You approach the central, highest barrow, where the signs of excavation are evident. At some 90' short, you are instructed to stop, by an orcish half-fiend, with a truly massive bow. Beside him stand an orc female bearing Tar-Rozaa's sigil, an orc with scales and fangs wielding an axe fit for an ogre, a gnoll wearing mage's robes, a furtive looking kobold, and 2 ogres, equipped as Grul. Kalindriel convinces them of the truth of the agreed-upon story....

Led is taken off, the Gnoll is beaming in delight. As he turns away, the sigil of The Scourge can be seen, branded into the back of his head. Clearly, he has devotional duties in mind. One of the ogres shows everyone else to a not-too-distant barrow, to sty and wait. Myrdag does call out his thanks, and adds in Infernal he has great hopes for what you can accomplish working under him.

After four hours, the kobold comes over to you...."The wemic you captured has been blessed-by-agony nonstop. The veracity of what you have said is proven. Power Caller is still at worship upon it, and doubtless will be until tonight. Be welcome, and well come into the shadows out of time, where the Darkness From Before rules, and shall subsume all light again. Would you like the beast-man returned to you?"

"Thank you." She bows her head slightly in a nod of appreciation.

"If your interrogators are done having their fun, I'll take him back. He makes a useful beast of burden."

She thinks a moment. "Hopefully they haven't broken him of that capability. They can keep him if so."

[Status is still active on Led. I would tell everyone what was happening to him. Step by step.]

"I'll fix his body. His mind is your problem."

Post by **Annalysei** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 8:00 pm

As Sigrid relays the information, my shoulders and face get tighter and tighter and I would like nothing better than to slaughter the entire lot of orcs and ogres. Even though Led is frequently a giant pain in my arse, I don't like this. Something about the glee they're taking in Led's torture reminds me of my father, even though he supposedly only beat people for their own good. I keep my mouth shut for the good of the group, but I really, really don't like this. I step to Sigrid's side, brush aside her hair and lean in, smiling as if I'm saying something flirtatious. I shake my flail a little so that the chains clink together just in case one of them has good hearing, and I murmur for her ears only, "I want to kill them all. I know we can't, but I don't like this. Any chance Kali or Trina has any poison on them so that we can leave a parting gift in their food? Oh, and go ahead and laugh if you need to."

[OOC: I honestly don't know how quiet we need to be, but since I'd like to murder them all, I'm going to assume that's something best kept on the DL.]

Once it's gone...

Katrina's eyes blaze with fury, she trembles with rage.

"Kitty...little thing...Deal With...[lapse into Infernal]Shatter him...rend to bits...ravage his soul..."

Spittle flies on the last 3 parts, she is foaming at the mouth.

Upon Anna's question, she rounds on Anna. Raising one shaking clawed hand, and a green liquid seems to ooze from the palm, staying on her hand.

"I make....Bad...Touch...no...savey..."

It dries, crusting over, and starts flaking off unused and useless.

Post by **Annalysei** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:09 pm

I nod at Katrina, understanding.

Post by **Sigrid** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:11 pm

"He's fine. He was hurt worse in several fights, and we didn't worry."

I'm in disguise. I'm a different person. It's liberating. I don't have to act like myself.

I start to nibble on Anna's neck, right in front of everyone else. "Relax, sweety. It'll be fine."

Post by **Annalysei** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 11:24 pm

My tone is light, and I'm trying very hard to concentrate. "You are exceptionally distracting. Stop that or I won't be held accountable for my actions." I pause for a second to clear my head, then continue. "Yes, he's been hurt worse in fights, but that's a nice, honest brawl, not torture. I don't like torture."

[OOC: Just for shits and giggles...O Wise Man In The Sky, can I have a Knowledge: Nature check to see if maybe there's some nice poisonous mushrooms strewn about? Or a lichen that's deadly if ingested? Please and Thank You]
