Re: The Lookout
"Aye, they're just birds," Aya shrugs. "'Twas just a jest, from our handsome Sorcerer. So, I guess there's little else we can do here. Let us turn back and report to Rickety so he can post a new watchman."

Back to Rickety
Aya calls for a return to Rickety and climbs down the ladder. Rod joins her, and the group takes a last look, and then turns back to the trail to get away from here. The hour hike returns you to the little village, and you find Rickety at the dry docks still working to fix any troubles the wasp attack caused.
He smiles his toothy grin, "Well did you find out what that lazy bones is doing out there at the tower?" He looks south trying to see if any flag is flying still, but none is.

Re: Back to Rickety
"That we did. However, he's dead and won't be able to continue bein' lazy," Aya replies bluntly, assuming it is better than treading around the death of the watchman. "While we fended off the wasps it looks like he couldn't and they stung him. However, at least he wasn't dragged away by the bugs so he probably fought them away. At least that's what I take away from the scene."

Re: Back to Rickety
"Yeah, he's been killed by a wasp. Sorry. You will need a new lookout." Rod adds. He will let Rickety arrange for a funeral (or whatever they do here). Later, as he is responsible for provisions, he will have the boars brought to the pub to be prepared for dinner.

Re: Back to Rickety
Rickety bows his head and rubs his temples, "That's three then..." he must mean deaths from the wasp attacks. "Well I thank you for going out and checking on him. I'll send some men to collect his body." He looks at Maggie, "Perhaps you'd be willing to hold services for us as a priest of Besmara?"

Re: Back to Rickety
As Toruk walks the trail back with the others, he can't help but think, I wasn't kidding about those two birds! When Aya delivers the news and Rickety reveals this is the third watchmen to perish, Toruk pulls away from his centric thoughts and feels for the man.
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: Back to Rickety
Davok speaks up "Three of them? You have lost three watchmen to the wasps? What would it be worth to you if someone cleaned them out ?" The pirate smelling opportunity and coin. "Sounds like something needs to be done." The massive pirate states.

Re: Back to Rickety
"Well, it was a service that wouldn't be too much of an issue until the ship's done," Aya shrugs. "We'd gladly help you out with those creatures, regardless of them coming by air or sea. Or land, 'cause we encountered some boars on our way to the watchtower but even those won't trouble anyone anymore."
