With all due respect my Lord, I believe the young lady is capable of answering for herself... Now I understand you're all afraid, hungry, and thirsty, but please, do calm down. As Bart mentioned, we are going to have to look into what happened to our employers in order to make as concise and accurate report as possible to the Adventurer's Guild when we'll need to explain them why we failed on our mission... Don,t worry, we will bring you back to your estate, there is no need for anyone else to die in this horrible place today. But before we do that, we will need your cooperation and your testimony, from each of you, as to what really happened here. Perhaps to avoid wasting any more of your precious time, we will take your deposition simultaneously, one of us questioning one you of you in private so we can get this thing done as quickly as possible, and you won't have to spend one more minute in this awful place. Does that sounds reasonable? Bart, how about you take Lord Miles' testimony and I'll take... oh I'm sorry, I have not gotten any of your names... And you other people are?

Lord Delmar's face turns red with anger. "200...200 gold to remove us from this place immediately. We can talk within the safety of my property's walls. That old archaeologist was killed by the lakemen, who could be upon us at any minute. We must flee. Lead the way!" he sputters.

The others remain silent, save for the young woman who quietly says "My name is Lena Apperson". When she speaks the older woman looks at her disapprovingly.

"If those creatures are coming then it would be stupid to try for your estate where we'd all be exposed on the way. I bet this cave is more defensible than your mansion anyway. Here is some food and water. You're welcome to go out there on your own but if you want our protection you'll answer our questions."

When Herja offers her waterskin all four of the blue robed men and women cry out "No! No water!" and step back in fear as if terrified by it.

Herja, having never seen this reaction to water before, looks at her waterskin. It begins to bulge and feel heavy as a stone, it explodes open and 4 bipedal fish-men burst forth from it, water splashing the group!

Small tentacle like tendrils whip angrily on their catfish like faces and they gargle an attack cry, brandishing their clawed, webbed hands.

The lakemen look you over...you think they are studying your faces...then something disappoints them and they attack.
Three of them attack Bart, Esteber and Herja respectively. The last turns inward toward the four souls behind the melee, trapped in the storeroom. Likewise it studies them, looking the longest at Lord Delmar before attacking him!

Herja takes 12 pts of damage and must pass a BOD+CO roll as the catfish headed man's tentacles grasp her face and she feels the sting of poison!

"Make yourselves useful! Hold this!" Bart tosses the torch to the feet of the terrified civilians. He then hoists Gertrude and swings it at the Lakeman in front of him.

OOC:If I can still attack after tossing the torch, I will. I understand if I have to wait.

(OOC: Actually, I'm the one now holding the torch, which means my shield is slung on my back right now and I'm not benefiting from it. I've stated to a few times in previous posts...)
