The Woman coughs as her eyes flutter open, Blood runs down her cheek as she winces from the pain. She begins to groan as all of the pain from her wounds come rushing to her. She turns her head away from the blaring sunlight, She seems to be in discomfort because of the sun.
She is awake and BARELY alive.
Dicaeus it doesn't take you long to complete your task. The loss of life, especially innocence is tragic and as you place the coin in the mouth of the Child. You cant help but think of what the child may have been when he grew. Making sure to give each the respect they deserve you finish laying them to rest. Knowing that they can now pass the Styx and be judged, hopefully they meet again in Elysium.
Carrus would know he is the only one in the group who speaks Elvish. As for any other Language the Drow might speak, you don't really know. You haven't encountered a Drow before, You've met Elves and half-elves but Drow generally stay away from Greece.
The Drow shifts uncomfortably, trying to turn away from the sunlight.
"War boar, War bring Gwe'nit Greece."Carrus make a DEX check.
Gwe'nit DEX check: 7

The Drow suddenly lunges at the dagger, looking to slit her own throat with it but you are far faster then her Carrus, already prepared for such an attempt you grab the back of her head and pull her away from the blade.
"Stupid boar, Gwe'nit want Hades." In broken common
Then, In perfect elvish. She talks to herself "Stupid pig is quicker then I thought."
What was a look of amusement turns into one of pure fear at your words. Your not sure if she's trembling from the bloodloss or from the terror she now feels.
"D-Drogon sent me to scout the roads beyond Athens, I was meant to report back if any reinforcements were marching towards the city." Her voice is trembling and you are pretty sure she has pissed herself.
You were briefed before you left Olympia, Drogon is the Minotaur King and leader of the Minotaur's. He is leading the Minotaur's on the city of Athens, This is why your presence was requested.

Last you heard Drogon and the Minotaur's were marching south towards Athens, Scouts reported the Minotaur's having some primitive siege weaponry and looked prepared for a Siege. Theseus requested the Four and Achilles be sent to Athens to aid in the coming battle.
You dont know where the army is but they were on the march before you left Olympia, There is a good chance they have already reached the city or at least have it in their sight.

Carrus translates what has been said, and wait in case the others have questions they want answered. He never moves his eyes from the woman's face, keeping the pressure up, and turning her head to make sure she is getting the sunlight directly into her face.
She winces from the light and tries to turn away but you keep her facing the light
"HE'S IN THE WAR CAMP A MILE FROM THE CITY WALL!" Tears begin to form in the corners of her eyes.
Achilles listens intently. Tapping his spear against his shield every so often, He looks to the sky and frowns. "We are still a day out from Athens and if what she say's is true, We have very little time to get there before the attack begins." You ALL know he is considering marching threw the night to make the city mid-day tomorrow.

If anyone else in the group has any questions they want answered, Carrus will translate and pass back the response.
When they are all done, he nods to the prisoner. Thank you Gwe'nit. You have earned a swift death today. With one quick motion he stabs through her eye socket and into her brain, then allows the body to fall to the ground.
Carrus stands, cleans his dagger and places it back in the sheath within his armour. He walks over to the graves of the family; if Dicaeus is still preparing the grave, Carrus will help as best he can and then stand silent as the sorcerer prays. If he has finished, Carrus will quietly say his own prayer for their souls. As he returns, he walk over to Dicaeus. Thank you. For caring for them well. He stands in silence thinking for a moment, then his face splits into a grin and then a loud laugh. That was a spell of Darkness, was it not? Impudent drow, to cast that upon you.
And there goes a NPC I had plans for, such is the way of D&D.
There is no resistance from the Drow in the slightest as the blade sinks threw her eye and into her brain. There are a few muscle spasms as you pull the blade free, the body slumps to the ground.
Achilles looks to the road, Deep in thought for a few moments. "We can march threw the Night, It will be tiring and we will arrive in Athens early but exhausted. Or we can sleep, knowing the Minotaurs are at the gates of Athens, Arrive later in the day but be ready for a fight." He looks to the Four of you, Stoic and Stern. "This is a decision that could determine the lives of Thousands and not one to be taken lightly, If the Four of you are ever going to be the Hero's Im training you to be you will be faced with harder choices then this."
"So Shall we march forward or rest for the night?" In all the time you have served under Achilles, he has never given you a choice;only orders. So this is really strange to you.

Carrus has propped the woman up on her knees, and has his dagger to her throat, as Cybele casts her spell. As the drow awakens, he speaks:
One word of magic, one gesture, I slit your throat and leave you for the crows.
What is your name?
With blood spilling down her chin. The Woman speaks but in broken Common, like it isnt her first language.
"Gwe'nit is name boar. Find blade up his bum, remove now or Hades."
Malenia - [Monk - Way of the Jedi] - Auryn: Princess of Destiny
Carrus adjusts his grip on his dagger, ready to kill, but also ready to pull away in case the woman tries to impale herself on it.
(OOC: I assume Carrus would know if any of his companions speak Elvish or another language the drow might speak?)
Keeping his eyes trained on the woman, he speaks again. Why are you here?
Carrus would know he is the only one in the group who speaks Elvish. As for any other Language the Drow might speak, you don't really know. You haven't encountered a Drow before, You've met Elves and half-elves but Drow generally stay away from Greece.

"War boar, War bring Gwe'nit Greece." Carrus make a DEX check.
Gwe'nit DEX check: 7
Malenia - [Monk - Way of the Jedi] - Auryn: Princess of Destiny
Carrus' DEX check: 16.
Carrus speaks to the woman in Elvish, though he has no idea if a drow would speak that language:
Do you understand this better, Gwe'nit?
The Drow suddenly lunges at the dagger, looking to slit her own throat with it but you are far faster then her Carrus, already prepared for such an attempt you grab the back of her head and pull her away from the blade.
"Stupid boar, Gwe'nit want Hades." In broken common
Then, In perfect elvish. She talks to herself "Stupid pig is quicker then I thought."
Malenia - [Monk - Way of the Jedi] - Auryn: Princess of Destiny
She looks bewildered at you Carrus, she wasn't expecting you to know the language.
"You speak elvish pig? Well aren't you a peculiar thing."
Malenia - [Monk - Way of the Jedi] - Auryn: Princess of Destiny
Carrus ignores her comments. Who do you fight for? he asks, still in Elvish.
Intimidation check Carrus

Carrus stares into the woman's eyes and grins: Answer the question, woman. Intimidation 19
