[Recap]
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Ben'Dar looks up from the fire. The dead eagle he found in the
forest is nearly cooked to perfection over the glowing coals.
He sighs as he hears the news that they are riding out again so
soon. His stomach rumbles...
(just kidding about the eagle...lol)
Ben'Dar will ask Z'leyra for one more magical healing if she
thinks there is little risk to him.
He still wants the battle horn. It is much fancier than the old
one he picked up...where did he pick that thing up? Oh well, he
tosses the old one aside and begins polishing the new one.
GM: Ack. Your evil! Hey! I like that! Claim the horn. Ack.
----------------------------
From Unali: [Re: Treasure]
Unali will not claim any of the magical treasure.
GM: Ack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Decalis 16th, 107th day since left Marentia, 42nd day of
Adventure #3 of the 1633rd year [TH].]
[Location: Pavassa Forest - Eastern Edge/On Plains]
[Before BohusAra gives the Lake Oca warning and just before
the sand is placed over the dead bodies - ]
GM: Unali claims no magical items. Ben'dar claims the Battle
horn. Leaving the Crossbow and Wand free for picking
or for later party sell.
Farseeker: "That person you caught in the Oblivion spell
thing, we should talk to him now. Can you bring him back?"
[Z'leyra nods and the work room is cleared as best it can
of the heavy logs. The area in front of the crushed work
table is where he'll be bought back. Z'leyra casts a
Purification spell on the ground. Farseeker then has
folks around the spot ready to grab the man. He was
last seen holding his Bow and not the sword so he should
be easy to handle.
Ben'dar and Farseeker get on each side of the spot. Chion
from the back just in case. Unali and Arawn in front ready
for action as well. The others stand nearby ready to help
with rope and other items. Z'leyra nods then cancels the
spell and the man forms back in place. He looks at those
around him still holding his bow. He reaches for his sword
but Farseeker stops his hand. Ben'dar grabs the Bow away
and puts its on the ground. He is clearly outnumbered so
he doesn't resist. His hands are bound in rope. Thig
quickly reports no magic exist around him or from him. So
the party lets him speak.]
Man: "What...What do you want?"
[He is escorted through the north side of the cabin where
the wall used to be. Now in the open he is surrounded
and sat down on the ground.]
Bohusara: "Why did you take me? What was your plan?"
Farseeker: "Who was in charge here?"
[Arawn listens to Bohusara and understands the Vassa words
but its clear the man doesn't understand. In fact only
he understood the man's words. He translates for the
party into the Humagi tongue and back for the party.]
Man: "I will not tell you anything! You will pay--"
[The party rolls their eyes as the typical rant of you'll
pay so free me now speech. But suddenly his speech becomes
slurred. Even those not knowing Humagi understand this.
Sweat begins to break out on his face and arms. His eyes
suddenly roll back in his head and he collapses. Z'leyra
comes over to check him and finds his heart racing and
then slowing down. She grabs her satchel and then checks
him again. The man begins to gurgle and gasp for air.
Within about seconds his breathing stops and Z'leyra begins
immediate treatment. She is unsure if its a heart attack
or a spell or something else. Thig still reports no spell
so it must not be that. As Z'leyra is checking for wounds
Farseeker notices the neck turn gray in one spot. Z'leyra
recognizes that as skin dying but cause could be many
things. Then Xian gives a jump as from the man's leg
a small thumb sized spider runs out of his pants leg.
Xian squashes it with his staff. With the spiders inside
and now here Z'leyra guesses it must be poison. This
also makes sense with the dead skin a neurotic type
poison and fast acting. She grabs her Bezoar stone and
asks for a water skin now. Trembyl gives her one as she
grabs for a goblet in her pack. She swirls the stone in
the goblet with water and then forces the man to drink
the solution. But its clear his throat is closed up and
only a small amount gets in it. As more skin around the
neck begins to die others check for other puncture wounds
from the spider or spiders. One is found on the leg and
one found on the chest. Each area the skin is quickly
dying and rotting. Z'leyra checks his eyes and notices the
turning purple/red a sign of low oxygen to the brain. The
forehead is also turning a bit purple/red as veins try to
breath and obtain air. Z'leyra knows the man has been
dead for now some 5-10 seconds by definition. But a spell
could save him but for what? He would likely be brain
damaged and based on where the neck wound is he might
not be able to talk if the vocal cords were damaged and
rotting. Z'leyra sighs and knows it would be futile to
bring him back.]
Thig: "The redhead must've ordered her pals to kill him if
he was caught. We did find other spiders on the one
Arawn killed and one of the other guards. Maybe her
friends. Maybe they knew enough to act on their
own and kill him before we could question him. That
word she spoke may have activated the heat spell and
warned the spiders of danger. For all he knew he might
not have been even aware of the spiders on him."
Trembyl: "Our track record with Interrogation isn't great.
You ever realize this? Seems they all die."
