That's good.


Ino and Rardi will realize that their deafness and muteness is shared by their guards! It would appear to be the result of an area-affecting silence spell, or a spell-like ability with a similiar effect.The men seem frightened an confused, unable to communicate well with each other or their Bailiff! It's affecting all of you.
The silence effect began as soon as the small humanoid figure, now skulking neaby, moved close to you.


Pay close attention to my next IC post.

As the fight with IH and the bailiff's reserve force was off the beach, I played it out now.

See, I realise that that Bailiff is a bigoted minion of a necromancer, but I have to admire his thinking

Call me crazy but I don't think Threen did something wrong...He just casted silence on us so we cannot cast spells and we can be captured and not fight. He doesn't actually harm us and he aimed IH only because he is the main threat and was up to kill the boy.

Yeah, he's a fun NPC.

EDIT- Anyone observing Threan's leaps and bounds will probably not have seen anyone of Threan's short height move that fast before- certainly not without some sort of magical abilities or highly specialized training. The gnome's leaps are truly prodigious!

You're crazy. We're only in this position because he called the guards on us. He betrayed us to these guys because he doesn't approve of destroying a soul-perverting necromancer who has a guarding contract with Nine Hells Inc.

His explanation had better be startlingly good...

Hheheheh- DM watches and waits, keeping all secrets close to his chest.

Good gaming, guys. I like the way all of you are handling this turn of events. I'm very happy with the roleplaying that's gone on, people are really getting into their characters.

Well guess Threen casted expeditious retreat from an item.

I didn't tell he didn't gave us to militia, but he could have joined them against us and he didn't. He didn't like what we did with Delthrin true and wanted to get us to justice but as a rogue he could use his sneak on Shana or Ino and we will have been dead!

And honestly speaking I'm worried about something else...

The town militia and Threan have all gone for this round. It's the PCs'[ minus Threan] turn now. I await your actions [especially for Shana].

For now Rardi isn't doing anything, she surrendered in good will as did Inovidil. But may surprise say the guard with her next statement.

She points at him and begins to speak the words of a spell no one has heard her use before, and a chill begins to fall across the beach as reality ripples and begins to change into something terrible. But as she does so, she sees the bandage, and remembers the porch: and the feeling of terror fades. With a furious glance towards the bailiff, she utters a more familiar spell, and vanishes.
What was that Cone of Cold?

Chapter Two is over.

Chapter Three will begin soon. Expect questions to be answered, mysteries to be unraveled, and someone to die....

[Of course, just as always, player actions will determine much of what passes. Choose wisely.]

Did they take our items and put them in a bag and what was from Delthrin's in another, meaning did they put any of Rardi's items with what they thought was Delthrin's?
