Alphonse grimaces in pain as that hideous dagger sucks away at his very life-force, but manages to keep focused enough to land on his feet despite his attack being spoiled.  Slightly favoring his injured leg, he takes a 5' step to put the stranger between himself and Mercutio. 

((ooc:  Phaedrus, does that +4 apply to grapple checks as well? 
This is the latest version of the map, as best I can tell based on people's descriptions.  Mercutio is close to the western wall, and flying.  Paleface is slightly to the right of the center of the room, with Alphonse just east of him.  Riek hasn't moved, and remains 10' south and 5' west of Paleface))
I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

Speaking in Darkonian (and guessing Mr. Paleface doesn't know it) Mercutio says "Guys, this will last less than a minute. We should take this guy out while we have the chance. If either of you need a quick breather to heal yourself or anything, speak up. If not, let's let him have it."

((You guys should pick languages if you haven't. We might have some that we know that someone from Ravenloft wouldn't, like elven, etc.))

((ooc

Alright so instead of doubling the previous damage like I had mentioned, go ahead and just take what ever this roll is. ))

Without understanding what Mercutio is saying, Riek stands ready while meditating quickly.

Riek replies to Mercutio in Darkonese, "He has surrended, I won't attack him!" Then he says in Common, "Drop your weapon and come with us peacefully. You won't be harmed if you cooperate." But even though the paleman surrended, he tries to concentrate again.

Mercutio flies down, picks up his whip, and flies back up. While doing so, he says to the pale man "Looks like that dagger isn't doing you much good, either. Why don't we just forget about whatever differences we have, and go have a drink?"

((I'd make a diplomacy check, but even a rushed one is a full-round action, and I'm sure it's going to fail. So I'm just talking to maintain Soothing Voice till Alphonse comes out of his stun, then I'll commence to stabbing this fool in the face, and shooting him, at the same time. :D))

Current Map


Alphonse lay on the floor clutching the freshly made hole in his leg. He could feel something still writhing in the wound, it was bleeding much heavier then a wound of that size should have been. His breathing was in short gasps and he seemed captivated by the cut. It was very unlike Alphonse to behave this way in battle, he almost appeared uninterested in what was going on around him. Mercutio and Riek could tell something was odd with his behavior.

The Palefaced stranger takes a few steps back, his gaze darting back and forth between Mercutio and Riek. He anxiously circles the gem on the end of his dagger with his thumb. As you watch closely you can see slight twitches coarse through his body.
As your conversation ends a awkward silence hangs in the air. Suddenly the stranger bursts into laughter  Heh... hehehahahaehehahaa he suddenly stops his maniacal laughter and turns to Riek. Come with you where? Then he turns back to Mercutio and says. Actually,.. a drink sounds rather delightful. Just us? Or should we invite- everyone? He emphasizes the word 'everyone', while he starts to kneel down.

((OOC: Does he have chains around his neck? Is that something Riek noticed that we didn't? I rolled knowledge local and knowledge religion earlier.
Local
Rolled 1d20+2 : 16 + 2, total 18

Religion
Rolled 1d20+2 : 4 + 2, total 6
[/spoiler] ))

To Riek, Mercutio says in Darkonese "He hasn't surrendered. My Voice has him temporarily pacified, but he'll be back at us any second now. We should take him now before he snaps out of it, and before the flames on our weapons die down."

To the stranger he says in Balok "Are you from Barovia? What do you mean by "Everyone"?"

To Alphonse he says in Darkonese "Are you going to be OK? Can you hear me?"

((ooc: phae, now that Riek mentions it. You do notice that during the battle, some of the chains around his neck have become visible. Now you can't see any amulets or anything. But you do see that one of the chains, is made out of the same type of strange metal that your Trinket from Azalin is made. It's metal that is black like obsidian, but has sparkles and specks of light that make it look akin to space and stars.))


Still in the kneeling position the pale stranger replies back to Mercutio in Balok, the native tongue of Barovia. No. Actually like you, I'm not from this dreaded realm at all. He grits his teeth as he grips the wound on his leg and continues. And I just thought it might be rude if we get a drink without inviting that withered, sunken cunt you call master. As he speaks the contempt in his voice is clear. A wicked looking grin slowly spreads across his face as he locks gazes with Mercutio.

Mercutio blinks and says in Darkonese "I do know you! Now I remember... partly at least... You're the pale inquisitor. The Baron of executions. The Bastard of the Kargat.

He's one of us, guys. Or at least he was... I thought you were lost to the mists, 3 years ago."

Hehehhee The man chuckles quietly. He gives a slight bow without breaking eye contact and replies back to you in Darkonese. I see my reputation has preceded me yet again. he looks less tense as he continues. The mists have not been kind the past years, and my team and I were lost many times. I went years without any word from the Kargat. Now Azalin contacts me and tells me I'm supposed to come here to La Maison Soulombre, and leave my men here to serve and protect Snorri. Your masters name is soaked with contempt when the pale man says it. So I decided to go ahead of my team and investigate a bit. The rest should be here by tomorrow.

The pale stranger stands up and brushes his pant legs off. His hand still rests on the hilt of his insidious dagger. So.... do you want to keep playing here? Or should we go get that drink and relax a bit?...  I assume that lecherous old fuck Snorri has retired for the night?

((feel free to roll a sense motive))

Mercutio chokes a laugh and says "I see you do know him. Yes, let's have a drink... as soon as Alphonse comes around."
