01. "A Gathering Storm" (RP)

Rubicon ignored much of the conversation, kneeling beside the minotaur while looking over him, speaking out loud. "Hairy, large, obviously looks powerful... my, coming across a new creature is always so exciting, wouldn't you say, Cubert?" Cubert simply gurgled excitedly in response as Rubicon continued to look over the beast. Once the arguing had died down, Rubicon looked up towards the others. "What's going on?"

Liar watched the others turn back to the inn. Indecision gripped him. "Well, let's see. On the one hand, there's a beastie I've never even heard of afore. The chance to study and maybe even talk to it is an amazin' opportunity. On the other hand, ale." He looked back and forth from the warm inn to the minotaur. A small whine of indecision escaped him. "Ah, bugger it! I can get ale anywhere! Move over, Ruby! He might need some more medical attention. And to answer yer question, our local cap'n o' the guard is bein' a closed minded bigot!" He kneels over the body and examines him. "I cannae tell ye much but I think it'd be a good idea to get him outta the rain. Ye paladins have any ideas?"

Kai, check your PMs for your check results.

Also, may I just say that you guys are far more accepting than I would be in this situation, lol. You're in a village that has regularly been the target of attacks by various nasty creatures, and now some fairly terrifying-looking monster runs into the village and collapses before the inn, and rather than think it a danger, you all want to play doctor with it? Oh man, one of these days I'm going to do this exact same thing with a real monster!

"You are correct, we need to get him out of the rain. The captain may be right, even if he is close minded; it could be a danger to the villagers. I think we could probably find some place in the mountains to shelter him. It's not ideal, but will work. Velsio and Darrien," he turned to the elf and eladrin, "I want you two to stay here and keep watch on the village. If this is a creature to fear, we will want a second line of defense in case Montiker and I can't take it. I also want you to keep an eye out and make sure there aren't more of these things on their way."

He turns to Rubicon. "Rubicon, you seem to at least have an idea of what this thing is, so I would gladly take your help if you will get it."

He faces Sigil. "You...can probably stay here and keep warm in the inn."

And Rubicon and Sigil get excited about shiny things....what do you expect?

"Like hell! I've already decided to turn me back on ale, don't make me question the decision! I'll be goin' with ya!"

"Bah. I can handle goblins." Rune clanks in agreement.

Dahkore nods in return, ignoring Sigil's comment. "I appreciate your warning, stranger. I hope to take flight and avoid as much of them as possible. Might I know the name of she who looks out for Bahamut's followers?"

"I will gladly assist you in anyway I can.", Rubicon says to Dahkore. "Still, we need to figure out where to take our 'friend' here. It would be unwise to drag him with us should we go to the mountains."

"I will admit I am unfamiliar with this area. Do any of you know of someplace better, outside of the village, where we might shelter this unknown being?"

"Didn't the four of ye see anythin' as ye was flyin' about? A cave or somethin'?" He looks down at the creature. "He's holdin' up but the conditions aren't helpin'. We need to decide fast."

OOC: What kind of check would I/we have to do to know if we saw anything that could be used as shelter on the way here? history? Nature? ... Acrobatics?

DM:

I'd say a retroactive Perception Check. Make a check now, tell me from which direction you entered the village (where you were coming from might help as well) and we'll see what you saw, if anything.

AMdG

I'll say... coming from Marin City, stopping by Lea Village, then coming to Dyna Village. Going west basically.

"Aye, I agree with the gel. Somethin's tellin' me that deeper into the mountains is the way to go. I was meanin' to go to the fort anyway." Runes eye's flash brightly.
