SEA GREEN
All Others -
The mountain of a Dwarf gets a puzzled look on his face.
"Ye can help all ye must, but now that we are gathr'd, I doubt they will strike again."
"I'd like ye to explain why it is ye are in our mountain during this time. I know ye come from New Ravenshead, I know ye names and now I know ye come to ask for Dwarven aid in a war."
The King pauses for a moment, then his puzzled look become more intense.
"Ye are not the first to ask for our help in a war. Are these th'men that attack Tertia to th'East? Naught but a few days earlier men from Tertia requested th'aid of th'Dwarves and I sent scouts to discern th'truth of their plea."
"Now, New Ravenshead is on my doorstep requesting th'same?
-----------------------------------
Natsumi -
"My domain is vast, bard. All look up to it and few are allowed to tread in it. Consider yourself graced."
In response to your questions about the cloud, Amassu thinks on it for a moment...
[Sense Motive Check]
Amassu recoils at the thought of divulging where this cloud came from or if he built it himself. He sneers a slight distaste for the question. He seems to quickly make up his mind that its origin is none of your concern.
"It is but a minor part of my greatness and need not be central to your tales of my glory."[/b] Amassu states matter-of-factly.
The Lord of Skies reaches into a small pocket of his wrap, one you did not notice before. He produces a small vial, the size of a wine cask for you but tiny in his hands. It is silver and etched into its front is a figure of a man with a second, smaller figure echoed inside of his silhouette. Amassu rolls it over between his finger and thumb, contemplating his next words carefully.
"There are few who have spoken the truths of my glory so well bard..."
"...It is said that the greatest reward a giant can give man is his strength, and to do that he must reduce himself to man's level."[/b]
Before you can even react, Amassu pops the top of the large flask and lifts the contents to his lips. A slight sliver of watery liquid is all you can see as he downs the contents in one large gulp.
Then the Storm Giants' body is suddenly wracked with violent shudders. He loosens his grip on your hand, his arms unable to hold still. You watch as Amassu begins to shrink, his body reducing in size and girth quickly. His chest shrinks, his arms shorten, his legs thin and pull up into his body. Even his flowing alabaster hair seems shorter. In seconds, Amassu is the size of a large man -- the largest man you have ever seen, but still the size of a man.
Lord Amassu has brought himself to your level.
"I wish to give you my strength as a reward."[/b]
Amassu reaches for your hand once more.

All -
Though you know two more of these vile men await you on the rooftop above, you quickly grab what you can and make haste for the darkened streets of New Ravenshead beyond.
[Quick Search Rolls]
A quick search of the bodies nets you;
- Three Longswords +1
- One Heavy Mace +2, Spell-Storing
- Two Rings of Protection +1
- One Ring of Mind Shielding
- 340gp in coins marked with 'The Master'
- Three holy symbols of 'The Master'
If you want to risk staying behind, you can get the following;
- Three Suits of Full Plate +1
- One suit of Full Plate +2, Light Fortification
The marks on their armor cannot be removed.
You grab what you can, rushing out into the night to meet Tyrano who has been patiently waiting in a darkened alley with an unconscious Death-Speaker at his feet....
