Did the cart definitely only deliver food and supplies, or could it have also been a shipment of money? Hidden in some crate, or perhaps in an unassuming bag?
Watch where the cart drivers rest. If I can get one of them alone, then quietly drift into it's room/tent.
Well, you never inspected the load. Could be anything in there. the two are offered lodging in the house, but one opts to sleep in the hayloft, so yo ucan go check him out. There's an outhouse too, and one visits that before bedtime as well.
Arileth
Offer to help her around the farm for free. Start by feed chickens and milking cow
You are talking with the woman, and the two men who were in the field show up behind you, sounding unhappy at your proximity to the woman. You turn. One of them is holding a scythe, the other has both a sickle and a threshing flail. the woman moves behind you, pulling her pitchfork up again and scurrying away toward the other end of the barn.
<Yes, go ahead and destroy them. I expected too much from that little fool.>
Relinquish control, then buff Mordred's telekinesis as much as I can, in addition to what I've done so far. I'm unsure if the knife has a mana pool or something, but shove all available mana into Mordred.
You attempt to buff Mordred's telekinesis, but the sudden shifts are tricky, and you can't quite get a firm grip on his power in order to fully support it. You manage to get some man a into him, but are unclear if it is helping or not.
Mordred
((I get the impression we fell out of dice's good graces. Although we are surviviтg being Boromir'd, so that's good.))
<It's time to act. They won't listen to us any longer.>
Okay, now we do it with force.
Take several steps backing away from the swordsman, simultaneously lifting my sword back to my hand with telekinesis and hurling the archer into the swordsman (also with telekinesis).
If that goes well, lift them in the air and start choking them remotely. I expect that to be entirely possible because of the newfound assistanse I have.
this is fewer actions than your previous stuck through actions, so has a better chance of succeeding. You pull the sword to yourself and it smacks int your hand like a professional baseball player's pitch. it stings and makes your fingers go numb. At the same time, you hurl the archer into the swordman, knocking both of them off the path into the bushes to the side. Unfortunately, you hurl yourself off the path to the other side at the same time, opening the wound in your gut a bit further and causing the bleeding to pick up a bit. You clutch your belly with your free hand and groan a bit. this combat is going exactly as planned, you are sure of it.
Cho Ja
continue hiding whilst diplomacy happens.
sneak over to their food supply if enough of them are distracted.
mmm. Boiled cabbage and goatsnake bits. The eyeballs look especially juicy.
Keep compiling, we're going to get fluent before long. Make sure to leave time for him to answer between each of the questions below
"Many attacks, frequent? Attackers, can describe? Families, you have safe hiding place?"
You reach mutual understanding and can speak reasonably normally. "Attacks started recently. they catch single families when they are away form the group, or grab piglizardkeepers while watching the flock. Only a few attacks so far, but a dozen or more have died. We cannot hide - they find our dens. besides we have our animals to tend, or th elong winter will kill us as shurely as the warriors do. We've gathered here and pooled our magic to defend ourselves, but we doubt our defenses will hold for long."
Solam Kobemtosed
Shamble back to my sword, and sheath it.
You do this. these guys seem like such fine fellows, don't they? You are sure you will be friends in no time, chasing goblins and eating brains. just like the old days when you had a master.
Hom:
((Hmm, we're kinda stuck now, if we leave they'll stop being affected by the whole calming magic and it'll be trouble))
Do I feel capable of magic-blasting them all while their backs are turned, at least enough to make the subsequent fight good odds for us? If so, follow them a bit, a few steps behind, and when Solam gets close enough to be ready for the fight, drop the calm aura, and blast them, Kobold highest priority, then woman, then orc.
You feel that this is within your skillset. Currently, Solam has wandered away and gathered up his weapon, and everyone is getting along so well. You feel no real urge to hurt these, your new friends.
