Re: The Lookout
Toruk stays at the base of the tower, for climbing is not his thing, lest it can't be avoided. "Perhaps the parrot is simply repeating the last thing the watchmen said while being attacked."
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

Re: The Lookout
"Well, at least now we know why there was no warning for the arriving ship," Aya says watching Rod. She takes a quick look around. "Guess someone else will shoo you away now," she adds to the parrot with sadnass tainting her voice.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

"You say he was poisoned?" Maggie calls up. "Could this be a ploy by someone to arrange for a surprise attack on the settlement?"

Re: The Lookout
"Well, I don't know how or why. I'm no expert on poisoning. Or healing in general," Aya shrugs, gesturing towards Rod. "It just looks like it to me. At least that injury there on his neck and the foam on the mouth." She slowly begins to stride through the small watchtower and takes a look around. Though she isn't sure if the man was actually poisoned maybe something can indicate how it came to be. "Might've just been some wasp sting," she mutters. "I just can't say for sure if that was that or someone."

Re: The Lookout
"Yeah, maybe it was a wasp sting. I do not think someone poisoned his food or drink." Rod calls down. "We should have Rickety send someone else here as soon as possible."
Rod looks for the right flag to put up. "We do not want any more company, no thank you."

Re: The Lookout
A little inspection of the poison site and you are certain it was from a wasp sting. Lucky for you those of the group that were strung didn't have the same reaction as Lyle Godwin here did.
Aya spends a few extra minutes searching the tower plat form and find's Lyle's morningstar half under him, where it fell out of his hand. The weapon has a slight sheen to it, and it takes you only a moment of inspection to determine it's magical.
The rest of the place is void of other information or items of interest. The man's parrot remains sitting there squawking at Pluck and the pair are 'shouting' back and forth at one another like birds are wont to do.

Re: The Lookout
Toruk is leaning against one of the four legs of the tower while keeping a look out for anything nefarious as the others check things out. Between the numbness in his shoulder, his mental fatigue and the cacophony of the two birds, Toruk begins loosing his patience. "I have a spell or two left in me! I could send them in the direction of those birds!"
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

Re: The Lookout
"Right, a wasp then and not some sneaky assassins," Aya sums it up again. "At least that's something that ain't too bad. Just ravaging naga and stinging giant wasps." The kitsune in human form picks up the morningstar trying to see if she can gauge its properties on her own but also holds it towards her sorcerer. "What d'you think?"

Re: The Lookout
Toruk looks up at the Morningstar Aya is holding out, "Looks shinier than mine. Toss it down, let me take a look!"
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

Re: The Lookout
Aya drops the morningstar down from the level above and Toruk fumbles and drops it, the wasp sting venom still affecting his dexterity, it nearly crushes his toes on his barefeet. Collecting it he inspects it and determines its magically enchanted to assist its wielder in combat.
Having found all there is to find in the tower the group comes down and recollects at the base.
