The Cairnlands, a broken landscape of blood-salted earth and the ruins of countless failed assaults on Absalom’s walls, soon yields to open fields and fertile ground. Ahead, a vast forest covers the foothills of large range of snow-capped mountains. The well-trodden road soon ends at a tall wall of trees, signaling the end of civilization.
As the party approaches the woods, the large figure of a centaur exits the shadows of the trees. As the first hails the party, two more emerge from the woods.
“What brings you so far from your city travelers? Regardless, be warned, a larger predator stalks this area. We hunt a great cat, likely a panther.”
What do you do next?
"Hail, and well met friends. We are on a fact finding mission for the Society. Thank you for the warning about the beast. We are heading north through the forest and on to the mountain passes. We shall keep an eye out for the cat. I don't suppose you are headed the same way, my friends ?"
ReplyDelete“It seems doubtful that we would travel the same path. As we were aware of a present danger, it seemed right to provide warning to you travelers.”
Delete"well thanks for the warning, fare you well."
Delete"What sort of predator draws attention the likes of ye? Has it attacked some O yer folk?"
ReplyDelete“It has not been so bold but that is likely due to a lack of opportunity. So far it has only attacked our livestock and the local fauna.”
DeleteThe centaurs remain at a distance and near the woodline as the leader speaks to you. They do not appear hostile nor do they appear friendly.
ReplyDeleteLooking for posts from Brad, Daren, Matt H and Matt F. (More specifically their characters.)
ReplyDeleteRonan,
ReplyDeleteSense Motive?
Ask if we see the Predator if they would like to know or is there a way to contact them?
Thank them for the information.

Ronan is not able to read the centaurs. Their motives are a mystery to the magus.
Delete"We will be on the hunt and likely moving frequently. We may meet again if the fates allow."
Still looking for a post from Matt H, Brad and Daren.
ReplyDeleteIf Brad and Daren are officially dropping out, I would like some communication indicating their intentions.
