Re: First Adventure 05: Licking Wounds Amongst Party & Allies
Upon prompting, Zeiss carefully navigates his way down the staircase. On his way he finds no less than 5 traps, most of which seem like higher quality than the kind he's used to seeing, and would have either sliced the hamstring of anyone going by them or sent them into the Ravine. He very very carefully disarms each one, nearly tripping up the last one but barely manages to disarm it before it hurtles him to his death (spent 1 Action Point to succeed).

"Good work, Zeiss. Is the area completely clear? Was there a makers mark on those traps or can you tell through your experience?"
Whis Kor lowers his bow that he had aimed at the last pressure plate.

Zeiss frowns, in thought as he considers before answering. "No, they weren't mass produced like most traps are, those were custom designed. I could only begin to guess at who made them. They were very well made though, I can tell you that."

"I don't get it. We got trashed as it is. We would've gotten slaughtered if we'd gone through the stairs. Why did Harkun hire us at all when he's got access to this kind of muscle?"

Caladrius replies “First rule of assignation, kill the assassins. My guess is that the Centaurs were sent to keep us silent, after all we were asking a bunch of questions”

"Now that's a scary thought, Higaide. Who else would want to get rid of us? The mayor? I did tell him that Oakheart hired us."

Rory shook his head. Loose ends upon loose ends. If only it had been as simple as that. Or maybe it was; maybe Harkun had been on to them the entire time. He swore softly to himself.

"Speculation will go nowhere fast. Although Oakheart certainly raises suspicions, don't rule anything else out. There are those other than Oakheart who have interests in this area."

"Supposedly, although there should not be more than one descending at this point."
He looks at Higaide, considering something.

- Higaide, do you have any broken bones or any other condition that might cause you to be less dexterous on the stairs?

"These Centaurs definately acted... Independantly. It's just impossible for anyone in Al-Erat to hire Centaurs. That includes the Guardian." Interrupted the wolf.
"They wanted to kill us simply because we're 'civilized'. And they found that opportunity when they heard about us being here... Somehow." Raver crosses his arms and kept staring at the red sky.
"It's clear since this... Leader tried to needlessly kill himself. No one can be loyal enough to willfully surrender their lives for killing simple bounty hunters. Especially from Centaurs. And especially for Harkun."

"Is there such a powerful enough magic here? In Al-Erat? ON Centaurs?" Raver became very curious. If there was such magic, this region is more interesting than it looked to be.

Ashakel's waiting for Higaide to walk down the stairs then follows in his path. "No theories until we get rested. Now move along."

Re: First Adventure 05: Licking Wounds Amongst Party & Allies
"If one powerful enough to mind control a being is behind this, I doubt he would waste his effort controlling a random Centaur unless he had some political gain. They could have just as easily been hired by someone with the same intentions. Either way, it doesn't matter how they were coerced to come here, but rather what role they played in accomplishing an objective. They could simply have been enemies of the inhabitants of this ravine stronghold as well; not connected to this grand 'conspiracy' in any way. Now, perhaps it would be pertinent to leave the battlefield and seek shelter". Whis Kor looks very tired, leaning on his shield which he has planted in the ground.
