The Undying Dragons - Campaign Thread

Solomona doesn't react. It's been a long time, and the lady is probably in need of the facilities. He says as much to Vonth, then adds:

"Oh wait, it looks like she's first going to say hello to that bard fellow that brought us here. That's sweet."

Avaria marches straight over to Soren.  Giving a slight nod to MDK, whether it is of approval or not is hard to say, and glares at her former friend.  "Where are we.  Tell me where in the world you have landed us and how to get where we want to go.  You owe us that much you ba$tard.  You owe ME that much, I trusted you from the beginning and this is how you repay me?"  She fumes, but tries her best to keep it contained.  She notices the few kobolds around and MDK but no one else.

(How far is the edge of the woods to the steps where kobold and Soren are?)

AT THE LODGE:

((Vonth notes that he and Solomona are about 40' from the bottom of the stairs. Avaria is 5' away. Marrin is up the stairs about 10'))

MDK looks at Avaria as she storms across the clearing. He doesn't release his grip on Soren even when the shifter gets close.

Soren turns his gaze to follow MDK's and his face changes slightly when he sees Avaria coming. It doesn't harden, nor does it soften. He looks more resigned to a situation he'd hoped to avoid than anything else.

Before the bard can speak MDK chimes in.

"He's is not takes-ing you anywhere. Nots until Talis gets back," MDK says. "But it's no secrets wheres we's are. You're abouts as close to the middles of the Deepwing Mountains as youse can gets. And as to getting wheres youse wants to go, well me's and the other ones of your groups has beens talking about thats."

Avaria does notice a rather oversized looking kobold up at the top of the stairs watching the proceedings. 

Soren looks back at Soren "I've done what I was hired to do. And now I'm leaving." Soren says before looking back at Avaria "It was nothing personal Ava. Good pay to deliver that chest here. If Jan would have just taken it out of that damn ring, none of you would be here."

Marrin leans in, puts on her old face and leans back out.

"Oh, Ava! Please help Soren back inside, we need to chat about some things. Make some deals. Oh and hello new guys, Von and Sol was it?"

She'll wave and gesture them all in but pauses and narrows her eyes as she appraises Ava's condition, 

"You look rough, do you feel okay?"

Relief visibly washes over Avaria's face as she sees Marrin.  She quickly looks around to see if Jan is in the vicinity as well, but doesn't see her and decides it is best not to ask.  Turning back to MDK and Soren, "No, you're not leaving yet.  Sounds to me as though we have some things to chat about.  Let's go inside."

She makes a gesture to say, after you, and either follows them into the lodge or helps MDK force Soren back in.  As she passes Marrin, "We um.. no I started a fight with Talis and then one of those red handed necromancers found us.  We left Talis fighting them.  I hated leaving, but well... we weren't doing so well, so we took the opportunity." she shrugs and Marrin can see the defeat in her friend's body language.

     Vonth rushes right up to MDK and Soren right along with Avaria.  Vonth is all but shaking with the desire to attack the traitor on sight but with MDK seemingly taking charge of them and Avaria apparently looking to talk to them, he decides perhaps he can put it off.  For a little while.  Instead, once alongside the group, Vonth reaches out to grab Soren's free arm (since MDK has a hold of one Vonth chooses the other) and attempts to get his own grapple on them before they can disappear again.

Athletics: 9

     Vonth's first grab is likely unsuccessful but if need be he will keep trying to get a hold of the bastard.
