Rikke would turn to Janet and whisper "Stay low and go to the main building, I'll check the cages and be right there." it was a simple command, the way forward was much less dangerous, but checking the guarded cages may prove far more perilous. Hopefully the rogues stealth was up to the task.

Rikke stealth 52 vs goblins max peception of 45 sucess

It was all to easy none of the goblins even caught wind of Rikke despite her aormatic experances during her escape. Easily making her way past goblin sentries and such Rikke found herself staring right in the face of a sleeping giant white spider. Almost screaming and giving herself away Rikke managed to hold it in. Looking to the next gage hower proved to be diffrent occupents. Inside sat several woman in crude loincloths most in various stages of pregnancy. Each one had blueish paint in a pattern on their bodies and they seemed to be resting.

A spider! Cold goosebumps ran across Serinas body... but it seemed like the kind they recently met. The one who wanted the girls to see 'his' mommy... the girls all seemed to be deep asleep, though not for long.

However, Rikke would first do something else. The girl gripped her blade and turned it around poking at the spiders head or legs lightly with the pommelt of the blade "Psst... psst... hey. Can you talk?" so long as it didn't move the whole experience wasn't as bonechilling... aswell as the bars helping the situation.

Rikke poked at the spider who twitched a little. "Stop it Im trying to play dead." The voice was femine and rather sweet. "Geez ruin a girls escape plan. Its not like I want to be eaten by the green little savages. Last timeI go wasp hunting alone." The spider turned its creepy head its unblinking eyes evalutating Rikke a moment. "Hey your not one of them let me out quick!"

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

The voice only made it worse...Rikke would visibly flinch as the spider spurred to life "As if! You'd leap out and eat me!" the rogue almost called out loudly, managing to keep the shout muted. She'd calm down a few moments later and put the sword away "How should I know you're not one of their hunting pets?"

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

The spider just stared at Rikke a moment. "Im a talking intellegent spider. If I worked for them why would they put me in a cage?" The spider seemed to sigh. "Well if your not gonna help me out leave me alone so I can play dead and hope one of these idiots let me out."

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"How about a deal?" Rikke smirked wickedly, clearly the spider had some inteligence and the goblins seemed to be it's enemies "You help these girls escape this damn camp without feeding a single one of them to your babies or broodmother. Help them safely escape, in turn I'll set you free."

Though Rikke was interested who the girls were, most of them clearly had a hard day or otherwise were in no state to answer. She had been nearby for some time afterall "Deal?"

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"What!" If a spider could have a look of confusion on its face this one pulled it off perfectly. "What kind of a monster do you think I am? I don't eat people and nether do my brothers and sisters. What kinda messed up sicko are you?" The spider semmingly huffed at the apparent insult. "Anyway there is no way I could carry all these woman out of here."

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke kept a straight and dominant face even during the spiders outrage "Then make multiple trips, I'll help a few of them closer to the walls and you scitter them over." the rogue placed her hands on her hips and leaned forward "I'm sorry if I'm not sympathetic, but I've had more than my share with your kin murderous cousins." every single one of them avoided by a very generous margin.

"That's the offer, take it or try your luck with them not being keen on spider gumbo tonight." she leaned out and crossed her hands looking to the creature.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

The spider clicked its manibles in annoyance. "I don't skitter.. bugs skitter.. rats skitter.." Looking at Rikke with its lidless eyes the thing sighed again. "Let me out and I will see what I can do to get these girls to safty."

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke eye almost twitch in repulsion the more the spider showed it's... spidery side. The numerous lifeless black eyes, the tingling mandibles... the numerous scittering legs, the rogue shivered visibly and looked away "Okay, but how do I know you're true to your word?"

If the argument seemed good enough Rikke would place her blade at the lock and jerk it open, the rusty blade thankfully made of better materials than the particulary bad cages. Though as she did so she'd quickly duck behind the cage to make sure there were bars between her and the spider. The rogues blade drawn and ready as she eyed the creature with both fear, caution and clear distrust.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"You are set in your mind that Im a monster nothing I say will convince you that your prejudice is ill founded. But keep this in mind bars do not stop this." In a flash the spider flicked some web onto a nearby stump. "If I was working for them you would be nice and wrapped up."

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"You're welcome." the heroine smirked peeking out from the side of the cage "Now let me get the girls cage open." she paused looking at the spider "Could you... er... keep your distance from me please, nothing personal." and the rogue would most certainly not approach unless there was more than a good foot between her and the spider.

"Who are these girls? They don't seem like demon-kin." the rogue picked or forced the lock apart looking to them "Girls, we'll get you free. Just... ride the giant spider 'kay?"

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"They are farmers or travalers that where captured and then stolen from the demons. They use them for breeding. See the marks thats how they tell who has breeding rights." The spider kept her distance from Rikke examining a wall to let them escape. "Hurry up Ill make a web basket and pull them over with me."

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke gave the spider one more glance, before altering her gaze not to look directly at it "Remember, you eat, breed or sacrifice a single of these girls. I'll wipe you out." the rogues voice carrying a certain tone to it, making the threat seem more a kin to a particulary dark promise.

Either way Rikke would gently pick up the girls one of the other and carry them to the spider "We're here to help you, come on."

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"Oh please you would wet yourself before you even got to the lair. Besides Im not evil nor would I eat humans look how dirty you are eww." The spider had her back to Rikke spinning out webbing into a large basket of sorts.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"M~ But horribly vengeful. I've faught creeps and things you probably couldn't imagine, Spider." seemed the girls were all out as Rikke call to them fel to deaf ears. Either way hopefully Janet managed to find a good spot or atleast notice what was Rikke up to, the breif distraction seems to have taken awhile.

Rikke would pause looking to the basket "Really? Can't we just put them on your back and you'd just scitter back and forth. Those six legs have to be useful for something right?" still the spider more than likely insisted on it, making the rogue reluctantly place the girls comfortably in the silk.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"The name is Pearl dirty human thing. And know there is no other way unless you want to risk multiple trips." As for Janet Rikke could see she was eyeing her from the building trying to see what was going on. Her position was fairly exposed and had the goblins not been busy with their party she would be spotted instantly.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"No need to get resty" the rogue childishly frowned, still there was little choice. It was either this or just leaving the girls. The later not being an option. The heroine would quickly carry the victim over and carefully place them into the weaved escape basket.

"That's all of them." the rogue turned to the spider with a smile... and then turned away remember what she was looking at "Thank, Pearl. I mean it." her voice was clearly earnest, the spider could've scittered away, but it was true to it's word. At the very least that showed it was no enemy.

Re: Chapter 3 Sisters (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke thought she heard Peral mutter something under her breath but she had little time to wonder as teh spider made good its escape carring the girls along in its basket. With Peral and the girls away Rikke was left to her own devces. Looking over Janet had a quisical look on her face. The two had been seperated and with the way the party was moving there would be no easy way to meet back up.
