Whispering to Vex, "I really think we shouldn't be this civil. Something feels... Wrong.... In fact, I think I am ready to leave."

Spoiler

Vex whispers back, "Patience Falchion, let us see what has these people in a grip first just keep yer wits about you and ya weapon on hand."

Streetwise to see if anything might be amiss within the town and people:



Religion (Just curious LOL):



Perception if Streetwise is not viable with that:

Spoiler

Whispering back, "Yea, you be patient. I think I will just stroll on out of here while all my metal is still shiny. You just howl if you need me."

Falchion attempts to subtly break off from the group and leave the town.

I roll stealth just in case. Hope he doesn't need it... considering... lol

Party splitting... and somehow, I knew it'd be you, Liam.

As the clanking, whirring, clanging, screeching, squealing-joints metallic man tries to "sneak" away from the group, the captain of the guard spins around. "What is that unholy Aurast-forsaken noise! Oh... its you... I'm not sure what you're up to, but bear in mind. My guards are all over this village. If you so much as touch a single hair on an innocent's head, we'll dismantle you one plate at a time. That being said,  feel free to explore the village. When you've finished menacing the townsfolk, the Alpha's hut is just over there, at the base of the temple. Feel free to join your companions."

One bad, naughty child gone. Four sweet, good, innocent little children left. Tsk tsk tsk...

Spoiler

I feel it unwise to wander on your own, Sir Steel...perhaps I shall go with you. Nay, the dwarf goes with Falchion. I will remain with Young One and Vex. Stay sharp everyone.

Aracana roll on people and surrounding area


Perception roll on the same


Insight on the guard

Spoiler

Vex whispers to the group (excluding Falchion for he has left), "This place is definitely mess up ah'm sure of it. Ah think it best we just get what we need and leave quick like without too much attention on ourselves. We need ta locate that thingamajig and Ah can easily filch it for us."

So your gonna send the Dwarf with Falchion? Yea, you do that.

Spoiler

Falchion nods politely through the insults, and proceeds to get the hell away from the main part of the village. As he makes his way towards the exit, he tries to determine what is so odd about this place.

Just so everyone can enjoy this, Nicoli made a random comment about rolling an "Arcana check on everything". This is what he could have learned.

"Five thousand miles away, in the glittering obsidian tower of Blackwatch, the Archmage of the Warsor armies is preparing a spell to shave. Five thousand and one miles away, in the shimmering ivory tower of Whitewatch, the Archmage of the Warsor armies is preparing a spell to bake his delicious chicken potpie. Three hundred miles from your current location, a man is currently using Prestidigitation for a purpose it was not intended for. Spoiler alert, he'll need a doctor later. The beetle on the flower next to your foot once contemplated casting a magic spell... but then realized that it had had a thought, and decided to dedicate its life to contemplating how it had managed a thought in the first place. This is quite difficult, as you can imagine, as beetles cannot think."

Moral of the story... don't be TOO general with what you're checking. Otherwise, you might wet your self and fall off of a bar-stool laughing.

Spoiler

Noting the departure of the ridiculous automaton and the alcohol-infused dwarf, I follow the captain diligently. Leaning back towards the towering fur-beast and the scarecrow, I whisper, "Some strange spell is over this entire area. The source seems to be coming from the temple. It's making these people... stay here. And, I'm pretty sure it's trapped us too..."

Spoiler

Vex deliberates on this news. Whispering to the other two, "Shall we go see this Alpha an' see if it knows anythin' or have ya persuade us to the temple? Seems bad for business to leave these saps like this." Thinking back to a few moments before Vex blurts out in a hushed voice to the short human(or elf) and the straw being, "Ah! Almost fergot, I heard a whisperin' not long ago. Ah'm thinkin' maybe it was a call for help."

Spoiler

The guard turns slightly at your blurted statement. "You're... hearing voices? That's... ah... alrighty then... never said you were sane, I suppose..."

Blirted whisper. Blirt does not mean loudly. It's more like abruptly.

These people are a breed of people and wolves. They have much more superior senses of hearing and smell. This was his way of letting you know that he's heard all of your whispering so far.

So... about these checks?

Oh... oh... ooooohhhh shit...

Spoiler

Grinning goofily, I scratch the back of my dirty mop of silver hair. "Yeah... we're all a little on edge right now. We've had a rough journey, and we're not exactly sure of what to expect. I hope you'll forgive any... perceived rude mumblings my companions and I might have uttered in our exhausted and fatigued state. It's nothing a bath and hot meal wouldn't fix, I assure you. About that homicidal killing spree... any chance people been a little more violent towards each other than usual lately? My companion has apparently heard some... disturbing whispers, and I myself have heard a few people mutter 'they must all die' from time to time..."

Diplomacy to... not get destroyed by eavesdropping guard?:
