Lockmen Hunter

Level 6

Aquatic Humanoid

Too basic of information to be helpful, but knowing their level reinforced his suspicion that they wouldn’t be pushovers in a fight.

The conversation that followed was not only amusing but enlightening as well.

After everyone had finished their meal, Cade asked them if there was anything they needed.

“More hunting is best. Game scarce since the spiders move to edge of lakeshore. Many creatures fall because of it, and lockmen hunted too. Nothing hunger like spiders,” the leader said, shaking its fishy head from side to side.

Seeing an opportunity, Cade arced an eyebrow at Ketzal and responded with another question. “You don’t mean the horde spiders, do you? We are heading to meet them now.”

The lockmen all hissed in unison. “Yes, the horde spiderkin are fierce warriors. Why go to meet?”

“I am on a quest. We are going to help the spiders.”

As he’d predicted, more hissing followed. “Why help? Spiders will eat you and your pig friend.”

“If we help the spiders get their home back, then they will go back into their caves. That will allow me and my people to be safe. It might even help you,” Cade pointed out, hoping they would bite.

The group huddled together a moment, their own tongue coming out in burbles and clicks. It sounded like a perfect language to carry under water. Then at last, the leader faced Cade again. “Yes. If spiders go away, much good for the lockmen. We send guide. Know where spiders’ home is. Know of the creature who stole it away. We help you. You help lockmen.”

Cade feigned surprise, lifting up his hands and gasping. Turns out there is a lot more to this Charisma Attribute than getting the girls’ attention, he thought to himself. I might specialize in it almost exclusively. “Wow! That is an amazing idea. It would be great if you sent a guide with us. I do not know this area. Tell me, friend, when can this guide leave?”

One of the smaller lockmen stood, its clear lids spreading another layer of mucus over its eyes. Retrieving its spear, it said in a nasally voice, “I am for being the guide. Ready now.”
