AGH!!!!!!!

What are you talking about!? I only took some rations and insect repellant! You ABANDONED us!

I didn't tell them they had to follow me, I told them I'd go first and they could decided based on what happened. I slipped and fell, next thing I know I wake up next to everyone dead BUT YOU!

HOW DO I KNOW YOU DIDN"T KILL EVERYONE AND RUN OFF!

By this point you see Lethandaar confused, and angry, and... wait... is he... crying....?

(he's fighting back trying to hold back his tears)

All those good men dead...

Why......

Panwan takes a step towards Lethandaar, his hands glowing like Molten fire but Eku shakes her head at Panwan and Panwan backs down his hands turning back to normal.

Eku turns her attention back towards Lathandaar, "If you were any real member of the Order you would notice how Panwan treats me and that question you just asked would never have formed on your lips. You would have seen how the Commander treated me in Camp and know that I am probably the most trustworthy and honorable person you would ever meet. The way your Commander and the Order revere me and treat me should give you an indication of my goodness."

Ekus fingers begin to grow feathers as her arms turn into wings. Her body begins to elongate, transforming itself into radiant scales and in a burst of light where Eku once stood is a 9' dragon-like creature. 

 Panwan kneels to the ground and bows to Eku immediately. Keeping his head on the ground. "She is Couatl. She cannot lie. Her words are always true you idiot."

Eku growls at Lethandaar and opens her mouth as a greenish liquid drips from her mouth splashing on the ground. 

Yellow stands like a statue, her eyes and mouth wide open.

Kvothe tips his hat back and looks up in surprise at the sudden emergence of this creature. "Wow . This has got interesting" he thinks.

But I'm telling the truth I swear! 

I was the first one to climb down, nobody had followed me unless they did so after I fell unconcious...

Is this true? 

I ask Eku, Lethandaar realizes if she has to tell the truth then she'll confirm that what he says it true as well.

And the only things I took were some rations and insect repellent?

Eku shakes her head sadly at Lethandaar, "Even now you try and make it all about yourself. It was your actions and deeds over the last few days that led to the death of your men. Yes, you climbed down first. but you did so after telling your men they were safe after you cast one failed spell after another informing them they would be okay. You lied to them giving them false hope. And when you fell they blindly climbed down to save you like a good Soldier would think they would be safe because you told them so. They fell to their deaths believing in you and your lies. Back at Inas your words and actions almost killed us a few times. If it wasn't for Thor..." 

Eku stops when she mentions Thor and looks over at him and a tear falls down her face.

Eku turns back towards Lethandaar with rage "You ask why are all those good men dead? Are you serious? They are dead because of your Incompetence." 

At Eku's transformation, Krav's eyes widen even further, threatening to almost pop out of his head. At Eku's words, Krav turns to Lethandaar again with a glare, but still doesn't draw his weapon or make any move beyond standing awkwardly between Panwan and Lethandaar, who can easily both look over the stout dwarf's head.

Ezio watches the initial interaction between Eku and Lethandaar with mild amusement, not having known Lethandaar at all and never speaking more than a few words to Thor. He is surprised when Eku grows fangs and bites him and mildly concerned when she morphs into her true form. He considers jumping in the conversation to ensure that Eku doesn't kill the healer, but looking at her massive form a again, for once, he decides to keep his mouth shut.

Feeling very uncomfortable with the situation, Kaslo goes over to see Thor’s corpse. 

“Eku, thank you for bringing Thor to us. He was a brave man, and deserved a better card then what he was served. Perhaps we should give him a proper burial and continue on.”

kaslo points his finger at lethandaar and frowns, “we will have to keep on eye on this one”

At Kaslos words Eku transforms back into the lovely old Chultan lady that you all know and love and she walks over to Kaslo and puts her hand on his shoulder. "I want that for Thor that is why I brought him to you. He is one of your original members and doesn't belong to live out the rest of eternity at the bottom of a cliff."

Eku looks at Lethandaar one more time and you can tell she is battling within herself about something before finally shaking her head and helping Kaslo with whatever he needs to do.

Yellow hurries forward through the still-stunned group, careful not to touch Lethandaar. "Friend Kaslo, you have been so helpful to me, please allow me to assist you in honoring your fallen comrade." When Eku looks at Yellow, the Tabaxi turns her head and averts her eyes reverently, bowing ever so slightly.

Lethandaar will look Eku directly in the eyes.

I never said they'd be safe. I told them I'll go first and they could decide whether to follow based on the progress I made.

I'm not lying...

Lethandaar's protest go on deaf ears as Eku already walked away from him and is helping Kaslo with Thor's dead body. She ignores any words he says and helps Kaslo until the job is done. 

Krav does his best to help with the grunt work of the ritual, but steps back respectfully for any of the prayers.

Ezio spends the time looking through the necromancer's spell book to see what 1st level spells it contained, indifferent but not unaware of the more sober mood amongst the party.

Drita stands and watches the interaction. Interested in who Eku is tries to move forward, but is stopped by Yellow. Drita realizes this might not be the time to introduce herself. She will assist with the rituals,

”May Horus guide him.”

Quote from DaNoLyfeKing >>

Ezio spends the time looking through the necromancer's spell book to see what 1st level spells it contained, indifferent but not unaware of the more sober mood amongst the party.

 As Ezio opens up the book and begins to look through the beginning pages he sees the following spells:  Chromatic Orb, Ice Knife, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Shield

Once the Ritual is done Eku looks at Kaslo and Krav and you can see tears in her eyes. "I truly liked Thor over the last few days. He has proven himself and was a hero in my eyes. He deserved better."

Eku looks towards Panwan. "Are you still heading towards the undead lair to cleanse it?"

Panwan unable to speak at the moment just nods his head.

"Very well, Let us go and begone from this place." Eku says as she begins to walk down the trail not looking to see if anyone follows.

Kvothe stands up takes a drink from his canteen and thinking to himself "Better get on with it then"  he follows Eku down the trail.

Drita will follow Eku, again tending toward the back but not the last one. She will pull out her flute and play some music hopefully to lighten the mood.
