Syr Thursday August 30th, 2001 3:17:27 AM
With a wicked grin, "If you skin your knees, you obviously are doing it wrong. Maybe blooded knuckles would be more appropriate... I haven't seen a priest of Domi yet that would avoid a fight, you aren't a bit yellow are you? If you happen to join us, I'm sure you'll be satisfied. Trouble seems to seek us."
Jezebella Thursday August 30th, 2001 8:35:19 AM
The gypsy girl says nothing, and settles back into her seat.
Plink Thursday August 30th, 2001 4:34:39 PM
Plink sits and admires the Priest, staying silent while he goes through his stories, listening intently to each and every detail. Plink is knowledgeable to know that Brother Gnollslayer is a member of the dwarven race, and he realizes it's not that the dwarf dislikes THESE children, just children in general. "Sir, I've enjoyed your presence this evening, but there seems to be some greater reason for your being here. Am I right?"
DM JK Thursday August 30th, 2001 8:06:30 PM
Brother Gnollslayer stares at Syr long and hard. Then he says, "Tryin' to goad me, eh? I might be up for something? You kids ain't stealin' apples or overturnin' honest merchants carts or nothin like that are ya?"
He looks over at Plink and just says "Nope."
[OOC: I'm just introducing a possible NPC to fill in as priest until Bart comes back. If you like him, keep him. If not another one will pop up in a bit. Have no worries. The module will begin post haste.]
Polaris Thursday August 30th, 2001 10:21:10 PM
Polaris keeps one ear on the conversation, and one somewhere else. For some reason, she doesn't feel like talking.
Tiree Thursday August 30th, 2001 11:14:21 PM
Tiree yawns and then blushes.
"Sorry, didn't mean to be rude. I guess I'm gonna hit the sheets. I'll see you guys in the morning."
With that, Tiree smiles at Mother Faust and the priest and makes her way to bed.
Jezebella Friday August 31st, 2001 8:30:35 AM
Jez stifles a yawn herself, and begins to stand to go to bed herself. She winces and hisses very slightly as the motions aggrivate her still lightly wounded side. She stops herself before she glances nervously at Mother Flaust.
She hurries upstairs, hoping rest will heal the wound.
Syr Friday August 31st, 2001 1:33:56 PM
Looking pointedly at Jez's side as she moves gingerly away, "Nope, definitely no apple carts for us."
Syr shakes his head, realizing how late it is and what a long day it has been. "Well, since my family seems to be leaning towards sleep, how about we sleep on it?"
With that he takes the steps two at a time, heading up to bed.
Drew Friday August 31st, 2001 9:13:25 PM
Drew waits untill the house has settled in for the night and helps mother check all the locks and doors with mother before going off to his own new bed.
Polaris Saturday September 1st, 2001 12:53:01 AM
Polaris exits quietly upstairs for there is no one left to say goodnight to.
DM JK Monday September 3rd, 2001 7:30:39 PM
A couple of noneventful weeks pass by. Brother Gnollslayer stops by every now and then, and his social graces never seem to improve.
One afternoon when the priest isn't about and everyone else is lounging about at the Brass Toad Tavern, a familiar stranger walks up and sits down at your table, "If you are ready and your nerves are steady, I have a game for you. If you win, a better gift than the pin will be given to you. Meet me at nine behind the Lost Souls Shrine, and all will be made clear to you." Then the jester winks and disappears.
Plink Monday September 3rd, 2001 8:15:23 PM
Plink, fully rested and quite bored from the past few weeks, starts when the jester appears. As soon as the odd man is there, he's gone, with a mystical message left to whet the senses of the kids. The jester appears to have succeeded in his quest, for Plink finds himself longing for adventure again, ready for the perils there may be. "Well, my family, are you all prepared? I know I am. This should be...exciting." Plink will head to the designated area when the time is right, so long as everyone is in agreeance.
Drew Monday September 3rd, 2001 9:20:09 PM
Drew seems non impressed as the Jester does his act however once he leaves he says. "Well it's better than being bored I should think."
Syr Tuesday September 4th, 2001 12:27:03 AM
The elf looks up in surprise and smiles widely, "At last, some action, I was wondering if we were getting anywhere..."
Looking around he coughs delicately, "Anyone think we should include our rude priest?"
Jezebella Tuesday September 4th, 2001 8:09:11 AM
The gypsy girl says nothing in response to the jester, or Syr's question. She will attend the meeting the jester suggested, however.
Tiree True Tuesday September 4th, 2001 2:02:51 PM
Tiree tries not to show the excitement in her face at the jester's words. The last adventure had just about gotten several of her family killed, but something about the danger had gotten to her. She couldn't wait for 9 oclock.
DM JK Tuesday September 4th, 2001 6:59:40 PM
Nine hours to wait....
Eight and a half hours to wait....
Seven hours....
Five hours....
Finally dinner time rolls around. Brother Benrik Gnollslayer pops by as he frequently does. Noticing the anxiety on several faces, he sits down and pulls out that flask and takes a drink. This sight has become fairly common in the past couple of weeks. He seems to drink out of that thing all the time, but he never seems drunk at all. Wiping his mouth, he asks, "What's goin on?"
Drew Tuesday September 4th, 2001 9:53:37 PM
Drew keeps quiet and calm waiting for the time to arrive.
Polaris Tuesday September 4th, 2001 10:58:54 PM
Polaris looks at the others. She does not want to be the one to spoil anyone's fun if they are really anxious about bringing the priest along.
Syr Wednesday September 5th, 2001 4:32:40 AM
Syr looks at the dwarf and quickly looks away to the others, "Nothing, anything new for you?"
Jezebella Wednesday September 5th, 2001 7:59:37 AM
Jezebella murmers under her breath "overturning apple carts"... but otherwise says nothing.
Tiree Wednesday September 5th, 2001 4:45:54 PM
Tiree, sitting next to Jez, hears her murmur and does her best to hide a laugh. She starts coughing instead and tears begin to run out her eyes.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," she keeps saying when she can speak again. "Been through worse."
Benrik Wednesday September 5th, 2001 6:55:47 PM
"Nothin, eh? Didn't do to much today either. We had a wrestling exposition in the Lost Souls Mission. I was doing all right, but then Brother Jandar from Plateau City showed up. He trounced everyone." The dwarf grins big, "He's not that big, but he's wiry. Knows some moves." Benrik reaches up and touches his nose, "He broke my nose too! Healed it right after though."
DM JK Wednesday September 5th, 2001 6:57:00 PM
Dinner passes. Benrik sticks around. There's only about an hour left until the appointed meeting. It's starting to look like you'll either have to ditch the priest or bring him along.
Drew Wednesday September 5th, 2001 8:47:53 PM
"Well, Im going for my walk I'll see you guys latter." Drew goes out the back, makes sure hes not followed and then goes to the shed where there equipment is hid and gears up. He waits for a bit there and if no one comes quickly he goes ahead to the tavern.
Jezebella Wednesday September 5th, 2001 10:30:54 PM
The gypsy girl, having had enough, leaves her seat. She flips up the collar of her tunic, exposeing her diamond pin. She adresses her friends, and the dwarf who happens to be there..... speaking low enough that her voice will not travel past them.
"Well, I am off to dance with a dragon.. shall it be dark as night again, my friends...?"
She catches the dwarf's eye. "I hope I don't skin my knees."
At that, she leaves.
Anarion Thursday September 6th, 2001 12:09:22 PM
Having been preoccupied in room for weeks Anarion walks out to meet with the others. His clothing is wrinkled and he looks like a half crazed maniac. His hair points randomly in every direction, except for a large cow lick across one side of his head. He has bags under his eyes and it appears like he has been reading and practising magic in his room for weeks now. he also appears to have lost some weight from a lack of eating.
Rubing his eyes he says "so what is going on around here? You all look anxious about something?"
DM JK Thursday September 6th, 2001 8:47:35 PM
Benrik takes the hint and leaves. Drew is waiting out in the shed and preparing to go to some tavern. Jezebella left and went somewhere. Anarion is waiting for an answer from the rest. The appointed hour is nearly here. It's time to go if you want to get there on time. Hopefully someone knows how to get to the shrine. There's not a lot of time left to figure it out now.
Jezebella d20+4=12 Thursday September 6th, 2001 9:13:50 PM
(ooc : JK.. I think we all assumed.. falsely, it seems, that living in the city, we would know where this shrine was.)
Jez suddenly realizes the time, and that she doesnt quite know where she needs to go. She asks urchins near the tavern area of town, and beggers... (gather information 12)
[I assumed that you knew until Drew said he was going to a tavern.]
Tiree d20+6=21 Friday September 7th, 2001 1:11:07 AM
Tiree moves her pin more to the front of her shirt. It's still hidden, but can now be easily shown, if needed. Noticing the time, Tiree grabs Anarion's hand.
"Come on! I'll tell you on the way."
Following along with Jezebella, she makes a quick detour to pick up her gear. She also asks around about the shrine and the shortest way to get there(if needed gather info of 21).
On the way to the shrine, she tells Anarion what is happening.
Anarion Friday September 7th, 2001 10:29:29 AM
"Ok, Tiree, so we are ready for another adventure?"
Drew Saturday September 8th, 2001 2:05:37 PM
Drew suddenly remembers that it was a shrine not a tavern.
Miranna and Weasel Monday September 10th, 2001 4:25:54 AM
Miranna comes into view of the garden shed, cradling her weasel in one arm and stroking its soft fur. A new scroll case is hanging from her sash, and her eyes radiate absolute happiness. She looks briefly surprised to see Drew (and anyone else waiting there), then runs up to him with a wide smile.
"Drew! Have you had a good time these past few days? I have. I have mastered two new spells and scribed some scrolls! I..." Miranna pauses as she notices Drew's battle outfit. "Is there trouble afoot?"
Miranna will put her weasel back into her shoulder pouch, strap on her equipment and prepare to join the rest. If there is time, she slips back into the orphanage to grab something to eat on the way, having missed dinner as usual.
