He assessed the newcomers, and decided it was safe to settle down. He elegantly slided on a chair at the table, though on the far end of the other elf.
"Food's a good idea."

"Well then, lets hear it... I am sure we will be killing kobalds anyway"

He slides out of his booth, and sits down at the tables, next to Keenan

The barkeeps speaks up.
"Ents arn't anything special. This forest is always like that."

Malakar leans back, pulls out a small, elegantly carved pipe and begins smoking. "Well, a fortnight ago, at dusk, out near the Teilas pass, I found hundreds of elven corpses...children, men, women... a horrifying sight to be sure...but that is not the strangest thing. Try as I might, I could find no injury on ANY of their bodies. No blood, no wounds, no cracked bones, NOTHING." Malakar rubs his chin thoughtfully. "All of them were also completely naked and arranged in perfectly straight lines point west to east..And they all had a strange marking upon them, much like a tatoo, only it had a slight trace of magic that I could detect.." Malakar sighs heavily. "What caused it, I have no theories. Some ravager bands are known to slaughter hundreds of people at once and leave them totally naked and arranged in that way, but these people were not killed by normal blades and arrows.."

+OOC: HOLD IT! THIS IS NOT A FREEFORM RPG. This is planned!

There has been NO mass murder in this world. You can still SAY it, but your char is either lying or delusional. In either case, you have to make a bluff check.+

"That is disturbing... Though there are spells that do that sort of thing."

+So are you going to change it? Or is your char BS'ing the rest of the group?+

"Yes...I know of such spells..but it would have to be a mage of immense power to do such a thing. There are mages that powerful in my nation's service, but I know of very few human mages of such might. And no elf would have commited this atrocity." Malakar spits. "I will hunt this fiend down to the ends of the earth if I have to..." Malakar cuts himself off. "Good, my ambition is getting ahead of my senses already." Malakar seems disgusted with himself. "Sorry...I have been..troubled by that event.."

+My char is not knowingly lying to the group...he is telling the truth as he knows it. Perhaps Alyrium can use detect magic on me to see if I am enchanted.+

"I would assume this was some time ago? An ongoing pursuit?"

Fine then. Your char is DELUSIONAL, because you are not being enchanted.

Keenan snorted. "A bunch of dead people. So what? Have seen worse."

The bartender looks nervious at the talk of mass murder.

"As I said, I saw this a fortnight ago (*OOC*roughly 2 weeks for you heathens :P *OOC*). But when I took my rangers to see the bodies nary an hour later, they were gone! Either I must be going insane, or someone simply placed an illusion there, but if they did, then for what reason? I tell you, it makes no sense."

Malakar glares at Keenan. "Have you ever seen dead children, my friend? Have you ever seen the looks on their faces at the moment of their death?
No sentient creature can possibly shurg away the death of innocents like you do.."

"I have not only seen dead children, I have ki-" he cut off in mid-sentence, his body started shuddering. Something dark and agonizing washed over his face.
His jaws unclenched. "But that is nothing for you to kknow..."

At the "ki-" the barkeep slowly reaches under the bar........

Malakar reaches slowly for his rapier. "Really...did they scream nicely for you?" Malakar bares his teeth. "Maybe you let one live just long enough for him or her to feel the sting of your sword in their neck, I suppose? Just to have some fun, right?" Malakar draws his rapier slowly. "If you have indeed killed children, then it is my duty to either kill you or turn you in to my nation." Malakar growls threatening, and stands up slowly.
"Say you haven't slaughtered innocents, and I shall let you go. But I WILL be watching you closely.."

The barkeep pulls a loaded crossbow out from under the bar and points it at Dahak.

Malakar holds the tip of his rapier at Keenan's throat, obviously waiting for an answer. Malakar sees the barkeep out of the corner of his eye, and shakes his head ever so slightly 'no'.

"I have done things in my past I am not proud of. I won't discuss them here, with you. All you need to know is that I paid for it. Oh did I pay for it..."
His body convulsed into a series of powerful shakes and he fought back tears.
