The Nothic's anatomy is strangely familiar, almost humanoid. But something, either time or magic has altered it severely. You could certainly heal the creature if you wanted. Stranger hesitates before responding to you, "I was in Kholias during The Catastrophe, yes. At the time I was hiding, but now I walk the streets freely, bravely. I intend to return there once you all free me." He speaks this last sentence into your minds almost as a challenge, he understands that you may end up killing him.

Amiz shakes his head at the telepathic intrusion "That was unwarranted. We are considering your fate, and that intrusion is not doing you any good. Why was Chop interested in Kholias and were you a Nothic from birth or was it a sudden transformation?"

He says the word Nothic slowly as it is an unfamiliar word to him, and he does not know what is a Nothic. 

He stands 10 ft away from the Nothic in the event it turns hostile

[[ @Aagie, how many berries for Valar? I think 14 gets him back to full health, right? And then I'll just mark the inventory change. ]]

Draíocht hesitates as Thelanis mentions outright killing the creature, though he notes she has a point. But still he says, "Be best to stay our blades for now I think. As of now, we've but come across a goblin's prisoner." He turns to the nothic, "I am Draíocht, Stranger. Kholias, you say? Were you there when Ish Alora crashed into it?" He looks at the creature's wounds, wondering if the physical ones are curable and also if there's a possibility this creature was once something else.

Medicine: 18+5+4 = 27

 that should heal him back up

Amiz, can you please roll either an Intimidation or Persuasion check.

Amiz 

Persuasion

11- rolled in game log. 

The Nothic shakes it's head, suddenly talking with no cackling "No more questions! You can either end my suffering, cut me free, or leave me here. I didn't answer any of Chop's questions about Kholias, nor will I answer yours. Feel free to explore the city yourself if you want answers." He laughs coldly at that idea.

Draíocht ponders Stranger's words. Twisted creature, yet no signs of ill will so far, barring the telepathic intrusion. But that laugh, just madness from torture and Kholias? Or masking something sinister?

Insight: 9+3 = 12
//basically trying to see if there's any sign of malice/ill-will hidden within the nothic's demeanor

Barring any signs of deceit he says, "I see no reason to keep him captive here. If his goal is just to return to Kholias, then it's a change from the things that come out."

You don't notice anything particularly malicious about Stranger toward you. But this creature is in no way your friend. Whatever rumours you've heard about Kholias, the nothic proves them to be true. True darkness right to it's heart.

[[ Alrighty. In that case he'll be onboard with killing it. ]]

Draíocht turns to Thelanis, "I believe you'd voiced a desire to end this creature. A swift cut from a blade would seem a merciful death."

As Thelanis steps forward to end the creature, the Nothic uses its Weird Insight ability on her.

Thelanis, can you make a Deception check against the Nothic's Insight check.

Nothic Insight Check: 17

[[Thelanis did no such thing, she's been in the back of the room, trying to avoid looking at the nothic. I rolled the Deception check anyway and got a 19, I figure the Nothic targets her based off of Draiocht drawing its attention to her.]]

Ah sorry, yes you're right. The Nothic did try to scan your mind and failed. So is someone going to kill the Nothic?

Thelanis turns to the others and says, "Amiz, Valar, if you want to let this thing live, either here or free, let your wishes be known. If you say nothing, I'll assume you agree with me, but are too squeamish to do what needs doing." Thelanis now approaches the nothic, blade in hand. If Amiz or Valar stay quiet, she will strike.

Amiz nods in agreement with Thelanis plan as he is rather indifferent about the nothic's fate. 

Valar, as a paladin, feels indifferent towards it. While sworn against the forces of darkness, if this nothic is a dark creature, then will support it's demise. If not, then let it go and let fate decide it. 

Thelanis grasps her blade with both hands and tries to kill the nothic.

[[Not sure on the mechanics, I hit a 10 AC with advantage, 6 damage.]]

Amazingly, despite the Nothic's near death state, and being completely tied up, Thelanis' sword doesn't kill the creature. He tries his Weird Insight feauture again, a desperate look in it's eye now. Thelanis will roll a roll a Deception check against the Nothic's Insight of 23 

Thelanis keeps her thoughts muted.  Deception 19.

Draíocht frowns as the nothic appears to be hardier than anticipated. The elf takes his staff and casts Shillelagh upon it. "Find rest." he says.

To-Hit: 2+5 = 7
Damage: 4+3= 7 magic bludgeoning

Deception: 4+1 = 5

Did you roll with advantage Draíocht?
