Waves of Peril

23 to hit, 10 damage

(Toonary) The blow strikes true, and the rider falls off the horse, dead.

(Argus) Your hand axe goes flying off into the woods.

(Gridolpho) Your Turn.

Gridolpho flings a dagger at the remaining cultist. He shifts his position after throwing and attempts to stay hidden.

(Gridolpho) The dagger strikes true, and the cultist tumbles from his horse.

Combat ends.

Gridolpho's dagger sinks into the back of the fleeing cultist, and he falls off the horse, which keeps galloping back to where it came from.  The fact that a mount returning to the cultist sans the rider will undoubtedly make them extra vigilant , crosses your mind.

Seethe walks towards the group that has taken over the two horsemen cautiously. When she is about ten feet away she says

"Well met. I a Seethe, what was all of this about? why did you attack this people? " 

Argus Perception 10

Argus walks up and searches the bodies for clues/items of interest/etc.  After searching to bodies, Argus will attempt to search for his hand axe that flew into the woods....

A strange voice attracts your attention. you turn to see a figure approaching the Party.

(Seethe) please describe yourself.

(Argus) You find 10 gold pieces on each body. Also one is wearing a silver (un )holy symbol worth 125 GP. You find your axe stuck in the trunk of a tree.

The party can see a woman wearing a cape and a leather armor, and using a trident as walking stick she approaches them.  She has the hood of her cloak on, but on her hands the party can see that she has pale blue skin. As she gets closer she takes off her hood and they can see a long black with green shadows hair, and a pair of deep blue eyes looking at them. 

Toonary steps up, "I attack, they talk to eat Toonary friends, and most Toonary, I protect friends."

The woman looks at Toonary with interest 

"So, you are saying, that you attacked them because the talked about eating your friends? That's comendable but... are you sure you heard it right? I mean, they look well armed and equiped but not like shaugins or trolls or something that would eat you or your friends..." 

She looks to the othres as if she was looking for confirmation of her thoughts... 

"Sacrifice, mean eat?"

"Oh I see... not always but it's definetly bad for your friends indeed. Why do you think they would do such a thing?" asks her to all of them but mainly to the talktive Toonary

"They say, they say Cleric best, more power."

(DM's Note) Loving the Roleplaying.

Argus collects the gp and unholy symbol, grabs his hand axe, and turns to Seethe...  “Aye.. whom might you be and do you know these unholy people?”
