IC AoW - Encounter at Blackwall Keep (PF) (Take 2)

[DarkOne-Rob]

"So, you're saying that the reason for your tribe-mates' aggression is that the chieftain is in the thrall of some... black wyrm. And if we follow you into the swamp we have a chance to rescue the captives before they're sacrificed and to break the wyrm's hold on your people, thereby reestablishing the peace. Is that about right?"

Ssayth looks at Lydia with an expression as emotional as a snake's (not very emotional, by mammalian standards). "Yesss, that isss what I sssaid. Ssshukak and Ilthane are alliesss, but it isss not good for the Twisssted Branch."

"Wait a minute, you said the swamp was plagued by "sickness and worms". What kind of worms? Were they anything like this..." She goes on to describe the green specimens that had mysteriously appeared all around the roadside house this morning.

"Wormsss, all sssorts. Food ssspoils too quickly, the earth vomitsss rot and decay, and alwaysss there are wormsss there. I have ssseen all colorsss, but many are green."

"We can make that promise. In this, our goals are the same."

Frederick successfully assists Lydia's Knowledge Religion check - feel free to write dialogue to that effect.

Frederick's Diplomacy check moves Ssayth from Unfriendly to Indifferent.
