Welcome to Gaia! ::

With it's master near by the drake lunged forward, as it pushed itself back to it's clawed feet, and attempted tear it's own chunk out of Seraphina's arm but missed. (my dice really don't like the drake)

A thunderous howl echoed from the floor below, Seraphina(5 damage and is marked), Valna, the drake, and the half-ling were clearly affected by the challenge.

The halfling smiled, "V, I'm not going to be in the same room with Z, if he is going to be like that... " before giving a bow and followed after his lizard friend into the shadows. "I will be waiting, funny one, if you survive."

P.S. edit: The bolt hit it's mark.

18/26 HP

Seraphina Growls after being stabbed in the back by the Elf. "I see you want to die today too!" She then doges out of the way of the Drakes bite, just get her head split by a thunderous roar below. To the fleeing halfing she shouts. "Go ahead and run, the next time we meet you wont be laughing!"

Despite he boisterous words Serphina's had a massive headache and was beginning to feel her wounds. She wouldn't be able to keep up at this pace and gods knew what was coming up from below. First things first, she had to kill this drake, then it would be time to back off for a second to and gain a second wind.

With claws and fangs Seraphina throws herself into the drake attempting to end its life. She then retreats back to recover and regain her bearings

"Cowards!" Valna would yell as her halfling ally left her as well.

Leveling her blade at Duren, though making no attempt to advance or attack, "Killing you isn't part of my orders, but, I think we can be smarter than this and if we can help each other, It can prove lucrative for you and I."

"For starters, I am thinking, If any one of you jumps down that hole and bring me that man's head; I will give you 3 garnet gemstones. And afterwards, we can sit down to tea.Then we see where our futures takes us from there."

(Combat is paused, pending your answer. After which, Morinth takes first shot. feel free to talk with each other or Valna.)

(free run roll for Acorn)

"A chance?" Valna started to chuckle, but quickly winced at her flesh wound. "You broke in, interruptted a private meeting, and made demands; all without introduce yourselves and at least one of yours continues to hide. Very uncivil and rude. My orders are the only reason I am giving you a second chance. Think long and hard, I won't give you a 3rd chance"

Unmoving the elf narrowed her eyes and stared hard at Seraphina, for a moment, before adding. "Ask one question."

It was Valna's turn to roll her eyes, "Your bravado will only hurt you in the end. But, I see no harm in telling you, members of our group believes there is a dragon egg down here. I am unsure of the details, just that it was placed here by followers of Orcus and something called the Underking." motioning to the hole, "that man was given the task of keeping our slaves in line, but desided to eat one in front of the others. Which caused them to panic, leading ultimately to the satyr and your arrivals, I take it. The satyr attacked our scholars killing one of them in this room, an now you killed my partner." to which she would shrug "equally my doing, I will raise him later."

"Besides that, this dig was authorized by the council, Nim has the papers."

Well s**t, now Seraphina didn't know what to feel, The desire to consume the flesh of sentient creatures was one she knew well. It was a struggle but she knew it was from her draconic half and that she must be resist it at all costs. Now for a human to do such a thing, that was just...weird. At the moment she couldn't decide who she hated more. This necromancer elf who stood before her or the human they were about to help, who had killed an eaten a slave. Whatever it was these people were no good and would have to be dealt with. Her interest was definitely peaked at the mention of the dragon egg, but she hid that for now. She would have to see more proof before she believed it, and nothing good could come from something tied to Orcus.

Seraphina would growl. "So that's it? You're conveniently not mentioning the name of your organization or why the Satyr attacked you." Seraphina would sigh then fix Valna with a cold glare. "I don't know this Nim guy or what council you speak of but I doubt the town would take kindly to your organization killing and eating slaves and causing the death of the priest, let alone trying to murder one of your own. The fact that no one up above seems to know what's going on down here makes me think this operation is not as forthright as you want me to believe. Besides, you guys tried to kill me just for asking some questions earlier, what the hell was that! You guys are bad news, so I suggest you pack up your little operation and leave before your made to. We cant have you causing any more grief to Bridgepuddle"

Seraphina was caught a little off guard by the elf's sudden offer to take them to her boss. She also realized she has spoken more to this elf in the last couple minutes then she had to anyone in the last week and she suddenly began self conscious. She didn't like being the party face. She would look back to her comrades for confirmation. "Well, what do you guys think? Shall we wait for the wolf then n** this thing in the bud?"
