Allansia Wildlands Campaign.

"I am ready when you are." Brocc says with a glance to his companions. "Let's see how they react to our arrival, then see if we capture or simply talk."

Quote from Vakanai >>

"Well, hearing you've made war with so many people, have made so many enemies. Frankly, it makes questioning seem rather pointless. There's far too many suspects to formulate theories. The only clue we have is fay, so that's the clue we should follow. Take us to them, the areas they may be, the shadow fairies if we can't find any others."

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

"If these shadow fairies are indeed nasty things maybe we should forego parleying with them and try to capture one for questioning? Unless someone has a plan they would like to try?"

Banzo walks toward the exit.

(Ooc: Banzo is good to go.)

" Hmmph, fine. Follow me you lot.", said their guide as he began to lead them down off of the rocky outcrop that composed the settlement.

As they approached base their guide pointed off to the west, " Now....theres some of the little'uns said they saw some sprites or some such in a valley down that way.  I know theres some pixies live in that halfling settlement across the way.  But down over this way theres a hollow that they reckon is cursed and I'm fair sure theres been Shadow Fay and others seen abouts there."

" Oh, and there was a report last summer of a Leprechaun or Nikrechaun hanging about one of the stone crowned hills about half a day north."

" So what are you looking to find?"

Zeltheris glances to the group, "I'm inclined to start with the nearest and work our way out, even if they aren't involved, they may have useful information."

Herman heartedly burps back as a sort of agreement with Banzo

"I like the idea of starting with those closer and working outward." Brocc nods to the bard.

"Since we've no reason to suspect one more than the other, working from nearer to further seems the logical choice."

" Valley it is then."

Their guide, The Shamed One, lead them across the hilltop and down a small ridge dotted with poplar trees after half an hour or so they approached a small heavily wooded valley almost choked with tree-ferns, bracken and some shady oak trees.

There was no immediate sign of any fay beings but the area was cool and rather pleasant compared to the dry, dusty hills around it.

Zeltheris pulls out his lute and begins playing an upbeat tune, singing of the heroic exploits of his courageous companions, transitioning into a tragic tale of a king brought low by treachery.

Performance: 26

 As Zeltheris plays the rest of you begin to notice small furtive movements among the bracken and leaves, it appears that the exceptional performance has attracted fans.

Herman innerly likes the place and the soft touch of humig grass plus the performance of his friend bard is entrancing

That for a moment he was about to forget to stay on the lookout

Perception 6

Shalana scans around, taking in the beauty of ones and zeros.

Hatch and Brocc became aware of a number of small forms mostly a foot or so in height, some winged, some not hiding among the foliage and listening to the song....

Ooc: shall we roll anything to invite them to talk with us? If yes what? Persuasion, animal handling, else?

 OOC: Whatever you feel is appropriate.

Ooc none that Herman is competent in, I leave it to others

Herman moves eyebrows and raises his chin at his companions towards the little approaching sounds, as to say "do something, here they come" 

I knew it, luckily it didn't work

 (What?)

Zeltheris lets his song trail off but continues playing as he glances at the figures, "Don't be shy, come and play with me."

Persuasion: 15
(Just in case the music  gets him advantage to clear out that terrible roll: 19)

(Apparently he cannot talk and play.)

(I posted the wrong message in the wrong thread, that's what you get for opening multiple tabs!)

" Come play with me......", lilts a haunting sing-song voice from the dark.

Zeltheris feels a sudden itching sensation spread over himself s all of his body-hair begins twitching and dancing like tiny serpents....it lasts for a second or so and then the sensation vanishes.

Brocc frowns at the bard. "You are suppose to be the talkative one among this group..." He grumbles, eyeing the land around them.
