As you are all led through the village there are dark looks thrown Magda's way, but no one bothers any of you. Nela explains that the Elder seems willing to trade, but not for silver nor gold. "They'll trade you an oar for your liver if you think that's fair," Magda says with a snort.

Zale: The whispers are in a language you don't understand. But their facial expressions are easy to read: hatred and fear towards Magda. Curiosity and fear towards the rest of you. You see grips tightening on weapons, children being hidden away, feel stares from behind window slats. The only friendly faces are a trio of old geezers who accepted drinks from you flask. hey invite you to join them drinking at one of the guys' house.

Jineer: You wander off on your own, but this place doesn't seem to have a tavern. If Zale goes with the old drunks you can tag along if you wish.

Nela: When you first arrived you weren't given a choice - you were forced to see the Elder. Now, the group is being led along the same path through the village, but any of you splitting off goes unchallenged. "They're afraid of you after what you did to the guardian," Magda murmurs. "I wonder if that means they'll let me go unharmed, too."

Who's going to meet the Elder, and who's doing something else?

Grog, though thirstily, will follow along as well.

Zale would like to go with the old guys, but he wants to keep an eye on Magda. He says something about paying respects to the elder, and promises to drink with them later. If possible he does whisper a question to them, what do they know of Magda and the hill folk?
OOC:
How is Lena doing?

"A Village without a Tavern? What a bore of a place." Jineer rejoins the group to visit the Elders grumbling about a thirst she had.
May 29, 2019 3:18 pm
Nae tavern? Tis madness!

Grog huffs a bit angrilly but will have to make due until they're back on board the ship.

You are all brought before the village elder, who regards your group with a stern expression. Every villager with a weapon seems to be present, and has you surrounded.

"So let me get this straight: you fought and killed pirates led by one of them merrow priestesses, turned our reef guardian into a sea turtle, and now you're friends with this child-eating witch." he points at Magda, who still carries the baby Lena. "And you people still say you've come to trade and mean us no harm?"
May 31, 2019 10:16 am
We contemplated tossing her over board, but we'd made a promise. we also made a promise to the turtle dragons. We're men an women o honor sir. We mean ye nae harm. an if she us dangerous, we leave that t ye. but ....I think the spell can be undone? He looks over hopefully at his crewmates

"Your guardian will change back in a hour or so, once the time limit is up. Although i could probably do it sooner if you have a stiff drink to trade."
May 31, 2019 2:19 pm
"Made a promise to this witch? That's a dangerous game, but that's your affair. Unless of course what was promised endangers our community in any way. I trust you won't mind if I have her strung up after you've concluded your business with her? And we would like her to hand over that poor baby now, please."

Magda doesn't budge. She's waiting to see what you will do. The villagers are waiting as well. "You lot promised to see me safely home with Lena." Magda mutters.

What do you do?

Zale moves to face Magda. "Hand her over, Magda." Then he moves to gently take the baby and hand her over to one of the local womenfolk.
May 31, 2019 3:05 pm
Aye we promised to see ye both home. nae to drop ye in your doorstep. hand over the bairn and get yourself home.
May 31, 2019 5:09 pm
"This is not her home. Phillip moves infront of her defensively . "She says that you say shes a baby eating which, you say that shes a baby eating witch. Magda Is you is or is you aint what they saying?"
May 31, 2019 5:24 pm
"Read my lips: I. Am not. A baby-eating. WITCH!" Magda huffs. "Here, take the little brat!" she dumps Lena in Zale's hands and sulkily crosses her arms across her chest. "Happy?! Alright, now I'm going to walk home, and leave you idiots with these assholes!"
May 31, 2019 5:28 pm
"See you guys are just on the wrong perspective of this. I don't think Magda did any of the things you claim."
May 31, 2019 6:47 pm
The villagers are unfazed, and are unwilling to let Magda go. But then the wily crone flashes a rude sign at everyone assembled and disappears from sight! The villagers go crazy, running around like headless chickens, fearfully trying to catch someone they can't see, all secretly hoping they fail.

In the confusion, Zale feels Lena snatched out of his hands, and the baby also vanishes from sight!

Rolls

Zale - (1d20+3)

(2) + 3 = 5

Magda (advantage) - (1d20+3, 1d20+3)

1d20+3 : (18) + 3 = 21

1d20+3 : (8) + 3 = 11
