((I'm warning you now, but if Sylas does attack the boy, it is going to take some damned footwork to stop Saida from killing him

Chatters makes his way over to the ornately dressed elves are relieves them of their robes. He puts all five of their robes on top of his standard robes. He is now wearing five sets of ornate robes, one set of standard robes, and one set of torn chain mail.

Do they have fancier holy symbols than the one he took from the first elf? He relieves them of their holy symbols anyway. How many symbols can he collect from these dead elves? Do any of his robes have pockets?

He collects 5 slightly fancier holy symbols and in one of the pockets he finds a pair of vials containing a clear liquid.

((Sylas has considered this, He dosent think Saida is a big enough threat on her own to take him out so he is DEEPLY considering killing the boy. Also i doubt Hungry heard Sylas whisper to the imp on his shoulder from 50 feet away. Just doin what Sylas would do in the Situation, nothin personal.))

Edit: ((In Sylas's mind, the child is nothing but a distraction at this point. He knows that Draxx will not take kindly to losing his servants and wants to cease with the distractions and get a move on. If it takes killing the kid to get that done He is willing to do that.))

Hungry might not hear you, but you are aiming a javelin at the boy, so....

((No I am not, I am holding a javelin in my hand and it is pointing straight up. Never once did I say I was aiming the javelin.))

Zinnripple, keeping a tight grip on one of the spikes protruding from the dread warrior's armor, mulls over Sylas' plan. "Skewer the little elf, eh? Well, such a thing does have its merits, my armored friend. He does appear to be the only surviving witness to what we've done here..."

Zinn pauses, studying Saida as she talks to the boy. "But he does seem to have some helpful information in that silly head of his. Maybe he'll be of some use to us. Hold off a bit, eh? But keep that javelin sharp and ready." 

As you are discussing your next move, everyone in the room starts to hear a wicked cackling laughter. It starts out low and gets louder and louder. As the laughter increases a large shadow is cast against the wall behind the empty bloodstained alter. Looking to see the source of the shadow, everyone sees a small red scaled deamon about three feet tall with black spikes running across his shoulders and down the back of his arms and a pair of large curved black horns curling upward from the sides of his face. "HAHAHA!" The cackler yells as he dismisses the light behind him that was creating the shadow "Chuckles is free from his bond! I can feel it!" The small fiend will shout as he bounces his way towards the group, pulling out his barbed chain and whirling it around. As the chain spins, the long hollow tubes on the ends of the chain whislte and eerie sound. As he stops spinning the chain he wraps one end around his arm and holds the hollow metal tube to his lips and begins playing a quick song on a sinister flute that sounds almost like screaming. A moment later he stops and looks to the group. "So what are we doing guys... I uh... I have never had to decide what to do on my own before... I have only ever served demons stronger then myself" The small demon says looking down at his instrument not sure what to do next.

(You are still holding a javelin and have said you want to kill him) 

Hungry ignores the cackler.

Dear Chuckles, I say we leave before we die by Draax.

"Well!" Saida would attempt to pick up Pine (unless he's like, 10 or older in which case she would just hold his hand because hefirjgfw weak bird arms) and turn to face the rest of the group, acknowledging Chuckles with a bemused smile. He was... somewhat less on her nerves at the moment. Music, hellish or not, had always pleased her. "I suppose we're deciding whether we want to go after the other half of the Scepter of Souls or just get as far from Draax's influence as we can. I, personally, would like to do whatever the hell I can to make that ******* suffer."

Sylas thinks deeply on the Imps words. He had a point and Sylas knew it, Yet loose ends do need to be dealt with. "Alright, I'll stay my hand....for now Zinnripple. I've a feeling this awakening has changed some of the others...." Sylas will use the javelin as a sort of walking stick as he continues to prowl the remains of the monastery. "Best to keep an eye on them"  

((That does not change the fact that there is NO WAY you would hear Sylas or even consider what he is doing at the moment.))

Chatters drinks one of the clear vials, allowing the liquid to pour out from his lower jaw and across his outermost robe. He begins chattering his jaw in a way that sounds like laughing and drops the empty vial allowing it to shatter on the ground. Keeping the second vial in the pocket; he scatters his 5 fancy holy symbols and one regular holy symbol throughout different pockets.

(Yes. You say you’ll kill the kid and have a weapon, that is obvious. It like saying you’ll murder someone with a pistol in your hand.)

((Yes I did say that but you have no clue that Sylas is even thinking about using the javelin at the moment let alone with your Passive perception, the ability to see him 50 feet away holding one.))

Edit: ((Even looking back threw the Posts I see that I said "Kill it or Set it free" Not referencing myself in the slightest, a clear statement towards those talking to the kid.))

Zinnripple raps his knuckles lightly on Sylas' helm. "An excellent notion, dread warrior. Be watchful. Be wise." 

Zinn then watches, half-amused, as Chuckles makes his strange musical racket. "The bard of the group, apparently," says the imp dryly. 

Then, in response to Saida, Zinn says, "Make Draxx suffer? This I like, Saida. I suppose having the scepter...all of it, including the blue stone described by the elvish child...would really eat at lord demon dung. Just a thought. But a rather pleasant one, I think."

(OK, so I am going to make a calling on this. The only people to hear the conversation between the imp and dread warrior are the imp and dread warrior. I would say Chatters could maybe hear it as well because he was walking around close to them looting bodies. Everyone else was too far away to hear what they were saying but they could have all easily seen him inspecting a spear and muttering something to the imp. If an attack were towards the boy and people wanted to intervene, I would allow anyone close by to try to roll to intercept the attack and we would go to initiative from there. now on with the game!)

So as the skeleton opens the vial and dumps it into his mouth, he immediately feels a burning feeling washing over him as a radiant heat courses through his bones where the clear liquid comes into contact with his skeletal frame. Wisps of white smoke rise from the liquid as Chatters takes 5 radiant damage from attempting to consume what he now believes is probably holy water.

The harpy is able to pick up the seven year old boy. He is a little long but his slender frame make him fairly light to carry... if not a little awkward. As she does pick him up, Pine looks to her and says "You have to go after the other half of the staff! That is what my aunt is doing!" he says frantically.. "I thought you were going to get me to my aunt? He says with a look of concern across his face.. "And besides.. The scepter of souls can be a powerful weapon that could be used against this... Draxx... you were talking about." he will say as he tries his hardest to convince the group to take him to his aunt.

Hungry drools at the sound of their being another. He can scare her. Or eat her! But where is she? Hungry goes to look outside, though it hurts, and see what’s out there.

Perception:17

(Acrobatics check 19)

Chuckles looks up from his flute and runs through the room, leaping in the air and swinging from the Vargouille fluttering above and flipping in the air before landing on the back of the The Wretched "How ya doing buddy?" The small fiend will say giving the wretched creature a pat on the top of his head. "I guess we better get moving.. before Draxx comes back to reclaim hs property..." The cackler will say without any hint of sarcasm which is very different than normal since you would all know that he was a jester for Draxx, his whole purpose in life and the reason Draxx summoned him was to amuse the demon lord..

(So what is everyone doing?)

(Oh no...)

Hungry Is startled by this and bites the cackler!

Attack: 18 Damage: 4 and I’m attached
