Waves of Peril

Would anyone else like to take a peek out the door?

Gridolpho closes the door as quietly as possible.

"We've got incoming, folks!"

The thief looks for a place to hide. 

Maya would smirk, flourish her spear and hold it at the ready taking Gridolpho’s spot at the front. Curiously though, she’d hold her free hand up about eye level where the door would open. She’d place her ear on the door to see if she can hear how many of them there are.

Bertrand will step forward to see if he can understand what is being said once he hears the name of the name of the Lord of the none hells.

(Maya) You hear the sound of creaking boards along with two voices speaking quietly. You're not sure but, the voices sound young, and possibly female.

(Bertrand) You hear the same thing.

Maya would look to her comrades and hold up 2 fingers. She’d ready her hand up by the door again for her planned surprise attack, though she’d look back to her comrades to see if there was any protest to an attack. 

The Party stands at the ready. All eyes on the door. Off in the distance the chanting continues, then the latch moves and the door opens inward. Standing in the doorway is a young human female around 15 years of age, holding a burning torch in her right hand. Standing behind her is another young girl about 11 years old. Both have a shocked expression on their faces.

Seeing two underaged girls standing wideyed in shock with her hand in their face, Maya would swear under her breath then lower her hand.

Maya would grab the girls gently, but firmly and pull them into the room with her and the others. She’d remain in the room, close the door and stand in front of it with her spear facing everyone. Maya stands tall and firm to impose on the young ones, but still trying to keep an ear to the door in case more come “What do you know of this Asmodeus?”

Argus slowly and non-aggressively moves towards the door (near Maya) to listen at the door while Maya questions the young females....

The two girls stare at Maya then, glance at the rest of the Party. The older girl answers Maya's question. "Asmodeus is the Lord of Order. Only by following the tenants of his teachings, and offering worthy sacrifices in his Infernal Name, may one know true Enlightenment." The girl intones, both her eyes and the younger girl's getting a far away look.

The girls stare expectantly at the Party waiting for an answer. Then the older girl's eyes narrow, and a look of suspicion crosses her face. "You're not followers of Our god. Your heretics!" She accuses . Her voice rising. 

Maya would move forward, closer to the girls, giving Argus room to take her place by the door. “We simply wish to learn more about your ways.” She’d reach to the older girl, taking a light hold of her chin to make her look at her and take a good look at her eyes. “You’re feisty, I’ll give you that.”

(Maya) There is definitely some type of mental control, but you detect no hint of arcane methods. As to Religious practices, you're unsure.

Maya would look up to make eye contact with each of her party members, concern very evident on her face. She'd look back to the young girls and let go of the oldest's face. "Where are your superiors? We would like to learn more from them."

"Well, The Grandmaster  went to see Granny Nightshade, but I'm sure Inquister  Marla would be glad to meet with you." The older girl replies.

Bertrand will step forward and lower his hood to show off his horns and dark red eyes. "This one speaks for me. I am of the Blood of your Lord now take me to this Inquisitor "

Hey guys, I'm running my group at the FLGS this afternoon. After that the wife, and I are going to a shrimp boil at our friend's place. So, no new posts from me until Sunday. Have a great Saturday.

Seethe will remain silent behind the group, they seem more capable of treating with the girls that her.ç

( Hope you had fun! )
