She doesn't seem to be noticing you, and keeps sobbing, lost in her thoughts...
Aug 2, 2016 3:24 pm
"Mam, is there something wrong? Where is the child? Is she in need of rescue?"

Again, you fail to rouse the woman out of her despondent state...
Aug 2, 2016 3:37 pm
"Cover me in case this is a trap"

Roland moves in and gently places a hand on the woman.

"Mam, we are here to help. It is not safe here, you must come with us."

Weiryn holds an arm up to indicate Roland should wait for a moment, muttering a few words to Pharasma and using the power of her blessing to open his mind to those around him.
OOC:
Casting Detect Thoughts to see if I can get a glimpse of her surface thoughts, as well as any of the surface thoughts of creatures within a 60 foot cone in the direction I look for 3 minutes. Takes three rounds, she gets a 13 DC Will save if she wants to actively stop me from gathering surface thoughts.

OOC:
All right.
You will see her surface thoughts. She seems to be thinking about a young woman who seems to have features in common with the old woman... A daughter perhaps?

Roland can try another Diplomacy check.

The woman suddenly notices you.

"I kept Gertruda in this room her entire life! She was safe here. Safe! Gertruda was happy here—she knew only the storybook tales I told her. The real world is too hard, too dangerous. I never let her know anything of it. My girl had everything she ever could have wanted. Why did she run away? I fear that the master of the castle has her now. Oh my poor Gertruda! I know the worse has come to pass!"

She then slips back in her state of melancholy, lost in her sorrows, she seems unaware of your presence once again...

Weiryn frowns, looking around the room for any signs that something may have happened to the young Gertruda.

You look around a bit, but fail to turn up any clues.

Ujjaya intones a mantra of peace over the woman to calm her mind. Then, arrow nocked, he searches the rooms for any threats.
OOC:
Are there any other rooms here? If there is a window he will also look out onto the street.

OOC:
Yeah, another bedroom, a living room, kitchen, dining room, restroom, a few closets.
Ujjaya scans the building for threats. after a few minutes of going from room to room, he is positive there are no threats in this house.

Guiding the woman up, letting her lean and cry on his shoulder as necessary, Weiryn looks to his fellow Lightbringers.

Let's go. There appears to be no one else in this house, and we need to get this woman to safety. Ujjaya, please go on ahead and speak with Veleth, let him know we only found the one person.
Aug 2, 2016 6:38 pm
"There is another, in another house."

Veroth will dance from foot to foot, unsure if the strangers are going to abandon the other woman. He looks wistfully toward the other building. Maybe if I knock her out, I could carry her back myself.
Aug 2, 2016 6:43 pm
Weiryn you and ujjaya take this women back, i will go with veroth to get the other.
Aug 2, 2016 6:45 pm
"I will go help retrieve the other woman as well,"
Aug 2, 2016 6:49 pm
"What about me and Darren?" Kayleigh asks.
Aug 2, 2016 6:50 pm
Excellent. We will escort this woman to the tavern and to safety...you go rescue the other woman.

My apologies, Veleth. I fear I misunderstood you, and thought that both women would be in this building.


Turning to Kayleigh, Weiryn continues...It is your call. If you would like, you can help me and Ujjaya get this woman to safety. After all, my hands are full, and it will take me a moment to get free should something arise. A good axe might come in handy, should we find ourselves in trouble.
