A few days pass...
One night you dream...
The Dark One offers a truce and a meeting to work out differences. Alemi accepted. Both can bring one god with them. Alemi asks Caeroldra to come to the meeting. Marteaus comes alone...
The group wakes and is summoned to appear before the Overlord. As they take the now familiar ride to the Overlord's palace you sense a different sort of feeling in the air. It seems related to the dream. Something momentous has happened. Qualde has the sinking feeling that she knows what it is.
To punctuate the thought, a crazed man with wild unkempt hair wearing sack cloth leaps in front of your carriage leaps forward with his arms stretched above his head. As he runs forward he's screaming, "It's the END. THE END! IT'S COMING! ARE YOU READY!! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT! I HAVE SEEN YOUR END!" As he moves in front of the carriage you lose sight of the scene, but you hear the carriage driver scream out, "Get out of the way!" Inside the carriage, you lurch forward as he tries to suddenly slow the horses and hit the breaks. It doesn't work, and the carriage goes starts to careen and topple over.
CRASH!!!
...is everyone ok? Seems to be. The carriage is laying on its side, and the party is laying on top of each other on the other side which is on the bottom. Who's sword is that poking you in the ribs? At least it's still in the sheath.
Nonam Monday January 21st, 2002 10:24:33 AM
The wizard groans, "Is everybody alright?" Then he starts trying to right himself and starts working on getting out of the carriage.
Gareth Monday January 21st, 2002 11:21:25 AM
The warrior grumbles as he climbs out. "Why can't things just go like they're supposed to...". Once outside he surveys the damage after making sure the driver is OK, all the while glaring at the crazed man. He decides to let somebody else deal with him.
Qualde Monday January 21st, 2002 12:19:59 PM
The drow untangles herself from her friends and searches among the horses for the madman, to give him what aid she can.
Jus Monday January 21st, 2002 8:47:41 PM
Jus pulls himself out and checks on the driver's condition. Jus does, however, keep one eye on Qualde, worried that the gods' war will damage her sanity and wanting to be nearby if she needs help.
Cantos Monday January 21st, 2002 9:09:08 PM
Cantos springs from the carrige and looks at the wreck. Helping to pull his comrades out of the wreck, keeping an eye out for the crazy guy to speak with him.
Addinein Tuesday January 22nd, 2002 2:37:05 AM
"With a little luck, we'll pull through." Addinein chuckles as his witticism.
Tericus Tuesday January 22nd, 2002 9:07:53 AM
"What a way to start the day," Tericus mutters as he gets out of the carriage.
DM JK Tuesday January 22nd, 2002 9:10:32 AM (sorry if this seems rough, but Jerry made me change my scene.)
The group survives the carriage crash, and no one seems the worse for wear. Everyone gets out of the wreck and has a look about, but the crazed man is nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly you feel an overwhelming desire to put on a mask and go to the Arena. You notice other people are already putting on masks and heading that way through the streets. Your sense of duty overwhelms the compulsion, and you press on to the Overlord's palace.
By the time you arrive, the streets are nearly empty. Half the guards are gone. There seems to be a huge mob surrounding the place, but they are trying to get into the arena. You push through the crowd and go into the palace. A servant takes you to the Overlord. He's standing at a balcony that overlooks the arena. He turns and faces you all. He's wearing a mask, "Whatever it is, hasn't started yet. There are masks over there for you if you feel the need to put one on." You do feel the need.
Masked, you all join the Overlord and wait for whatever is going to happen. The wait isn't long.
Suddenly a titanic presence arrives at the center of the arena. There is a blinding light, but you feel peace wash over you. The light subsides and an old man with a look of grandfatherly love stands below you in the center of the arena. You know it must be Alemi.
Soon a second giant figure appears. You've all seen him before. The man with the moustache and the wounding rapier that you saw in Plateau City when all this began. It must be Marteaus. His power has grown immeasurably since that time. The power he radiates seems almost equal to Alemi's.
Though you all witnessed it firsthand, the rest seems like someone else's memory:
With the two standing there, it was like love and hate and a whole storm of emotions all at once. Caeroldra showed up only moments later, and Alemi asked the Dark Lord who his second was for the meeting. Marteaus laughed and said Caeroldra, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to his side and gave her a lewd kiss. The holy goddess smashed her holy symbol to the ground and pulled out a new one of a two-headed snake kissing itself with passion. The crowd went crazy and either booed or cheered along.
Marteaus then demanded equal status with Alemi, claiming that the evil and ignoble people of The Wold have no one to represent them. Alemi, standing alone yet radiating power and hope, sadly shook his head and refused. Marteaus laughed and said that the Old One could not hope to stand against him and Caeroldra and that he was going to end it all now. Alemi prepared himself to die and for battle when a fourth god shows up: The One. She went and stood by Caeroldra and caller her mother.
Marteaus laughed, 'Now you have no hope. It is 3 to 1.' Alemi says that nothing that happens here is binding since Marteaus broke the rules of the truce. Who knows why that would matter if Alemi were dead, but Marteaus took the challenge seriously and said he did not break the rules. He did not invite The One. She came her own accord.
Then, and this is where things really get interesting, The One says that she did not come to stand by Marteaus' side and crossed over to stand beside Alemi. Some of you wept in relief, but Alemi just smiled and said "Welcome stepdaughter." Alemi knelt down and picked up the holy symbol of the God of Love and offered it to The One. She removed her holy symbol of a half-mask and put on the new holy symbol, that is Caeroldra's old holy symbol. By this point the crowd was just watching in open mouthed fascination. Many started to remove their masks.
Marteaus scowled and threatened that he cannot be stopped and that all the secrets of The Gods of Wold are now his in Caeroldra. He vowed to undo the Gods of Wold, and Alemi just shook his head in sadness. He seemed sort of like a father who didn't know how to deal with a wayward son. He says that there is still time for Marteaus to forget this awful scheme and repent. Without repentance, judgment will come upon Marteaus soon.
Not moved in the slightest Marteaus spat in Alemi's face and cried out, "This is the beginning of the end for The Gods of Wold! Let it begin." You thought they were going to fight it out right then and there, but instead they all disappeared.
It all happened moments ago. Right before your eyes, but it seems like it was a dream. The Overlord is still gripping the rail of his balcony, and the crowd below is starting to move out.
Gareth Tuesday January 22nd, 2002 11:13:48 AM
As he watches the spectacle unfold, the warrior just gapes. "Looks like we should have executed those Hands of Love clerics we encountered on the road. How could such a thing as this happen?!?". About the time he begins to curse and disparrage Caeroldra, he realizes Qualde is with them, and holds his tongue wondering all the while what is going to happen to her - and them.
Qualde Tuesday January 22nd, 2002 3:02:24 PM
Qualde hisses, her eyes locked on the space where her former goddess had so recently stood. "No, Gareth," she says, her smokey voice heavy with dark emotions. "Not ours to punish before crime is committed. Had to give freedom to choose. Some must have noticed -- the wrong, the sickness in She who was -- Arrgh!" Screaming, the drow brings both fists crashing down on the railing in front of her. Beads of moisture roll down her skin from beneath the mask.
Addinein Tuesday January 22nd, 2002 3:46:20 PM
Concern for his sister washes over his face as he sees her suffer with the consequences of another God's decisions. Keeping his wisdom to himself, he just hopes that luck doesn't have a change of mind, also.
Cantos Tuesday January 22nd, 2002 9:17:48 PM
Cantos wisely keeps his mouth shut as Qualde and the others vent their emotions.
Tericus Wednesday January 23rd, 2002 9:02:42 AM
Placing the symbol of his goddess, a flute, to his lips, Tericus plays a soft tune to remind himself that he is still blessed by his goddess.
Nonam Wednesday January 23rd, 2002 9:06:49 AM
After watching the scene below, Nonam exclaims, "You know, not believing in the gods is starting to get harder."
The Overlord Wednesday January 23rd, 2002 9:52:44 AM
The Overlord thinks for a moment then he goes to the door and calls for the Captain of the City Guard, "Traxis, take a large group of men and head to the Diamond Cathedral. Unless I miss my guess, there will be fighting there between those that decide to serve this new Caeroldra and those that wish to change allegiance to the One. I want you to back this goddess known as the One. See to it." The captain snaps his heels together and salutes, "It will be as you say." Then he turns and exits.
The Overlord turns back to the Storm Dragons, "The independence of Floating City has been an unoffical fact for some weeks now. Now that the Council has sided with this A'tath and ousted Sturtevent and the High Priest of Alemi, I can no longer tolerate any sort of connection with Plateau City. I am declaring full independence today. Plateau City can maintain complete control over the Upper Plateaus, but their dominion no longer extends over the first Plateau. Everything North of Jessage on the First Plateau shall be in the dominion of the Floating Kingdom. Already Jessage and the towns around the lake have sided with me. Any other towns of the First Plateau and even the areas around Dragon Bay can chose their allegiance. Though I hope they will side with us. This is why I summoned you all here, so that you would know about it first hand and to get your reactions.
Gareth Wednesday January 23rd, 2002 11:00:34 AM
The warrior listens to the proclaimation without surprise. "I was wondering when you would do that. It doesn't surprise me at all. For the record," he says, looking to the others for confirmation, "we formally support the Floating Kingdom in whatever function you see fit until this Martaeus thing is finalized. I am wondering how many will flee the upper plateaus and come here? And I wonder how many cities on the upper plateaus will try and side with the Floating Kingdom? As far as the Council goes, it seemed to me that the decision about Sturtavent was far from unanimous. There were three of the seven Council members that seemed to not agree at all with the decision but seemed powerless to stop it. Perhaps you or Sturtavent should stay in touch with them? Also, I feel as if we should be involved in any effort within Plateau City to restore order and goodness. If the opportunity arises we should participate. And one other thing: What should we do with priests of Caeroldra we find? Seems like we should prevent them from their religion here. Instructions?"
Jus Wednesday January 23rd, 2002 7:34:29 PM
Jus listens, amazed that the gods are sharing this tribulation with the Wold; one would expect they'd fight in the heavens, not on earth. This fight could surely topple nations... then a thought occurs to Jus.
"Overlord," Jus asks, "are there routes still open for mail? Can mail still be sent and received from the city? Do you know how the rest of the continent fairs?" A look of intense worry crosses Jus' face, as he twists his ring on his finger.
Tericus Thursday January 24th, 2002 5:56:45 AM
"Well," Tericus says, "I'm with Gareth. This is really our home, so how could we not defend it?"
Nonam Thursday January 24th, 2002 9:11:19 AM
Listening to Gareth, "Even if some on the Council don't agree, they are no longer the ones in power. It would be nice to simply hole up here, but someone needs to save Plateau City. That said, I too agree. Floating City is my primary concern."
The Overlord Thursday January 24th, 2002 9:19:06 AM
"It makes me glad to hear all of you. By all means, I agree that something must someday be done about Plateau City, but I want to help those around Floating City first. We, of course, already have spies in Plateau, but I will enlist a few more. These will keep me abreast of the situation, and I will keep you informed."
"Jus, I understand your concerns. The mail routes are still open, but I could have something delivered for you more quickly somewhere if you desire it. Just because we're declaring independence doesn't mean that we don't want to maintain relations with the old Kingdom of New Elenna. Hopefully, we can maintain trade relations. A large portion of the city's exports go to Plateau City. Hopefully, this will continue, but I'm afraid that those fools on the Council will start a war over all of this."
"Qualde and Addinein, I value your input here as well. I know that Plateau City helped bring your family to the surface. How do you imagine that they will stand in this matter? The people of Floating City will welcome friendly relations and trade with open arms. I would invite your family to set up a trade consulate and embassy here as well."
Gareth Thursday January 24th, 2002 1:36:46 PM
Taking his queue from Jus, the warrior says "I have not heard word from my family in the Cinnimon Valley. I would greatly appreciate you sending a courier with a letter from me there and perhaps returning with word of their condition.".
Cantos Thursday January 24th, 2002 2:06:43 PM
Cantos looks around at the others, "I have no home, truly I have been roaming around so long that where ever I lay my head is home. But if you say this is home, then this is where I shall stand with each of you."
Jus Thursday January 24th, 2002 7:11:19 PM
Gaining control of his strong emotions, Jus agrees with Cantos, "I would be proud to stand with you, Overlord. But as Gareth has said," Jus lets some of his concern show, "I am worried what has happened to my family in this conflagration."
Addinein Friday January 25th, 2002 4:45:34 AM
Looking at the Overlord. "It is hard to say at this point. I think we could get away with just saying that we're here represent to the best of our abilities." Not wanting to say too much, he looks to his sister for some guidance.
Tericus Friday January 25th, 2002 8:12:25 AM
"Well, the elves did give us the friendship daggers. Surely that must carry some weight if they are forced to choose sides."
Nonam Friday January 25th, 2002 9:30:43 AM
Nonam responds dryly to Tericus, "...but after we received them, Gareth killed one."
The Overlord Friday January 25th, 2002 9:34:08 AM
"I have no pressing business for you to attend, so by all means, check on your families. Now if there are no further questions, I do have a few other things to take care of this morning. Oh one other thing, at your leisure, you might venture down and see the Underlord. Nothing pressing, but you should probably be familiar with both halves of government here."
The Overlord waits for any further questions or for the group to depart.
Gareth Friday January 25th, 2002 11:03:01 AM
The warrior nods. "My thanks for your support and acceptance. We'll do what we can for the kingdom - and we'll go see the Underlord as well. Is the 'rumor' I heard true? Is he part or all dragon? Not that it matters to me, just that it would help us if a sticky situation comes up.".
Overlord Friday January 25th, 2002 2:56:30 PM
"No, that's silly. The Underlord is not a dragon."
Cantos Friday January 25th, 2002 3:27:13 PM
Cantos bows to the Overlord and looks at his friends, "Should we go to the Underlord now?"
Jus Saturday January 26th, 2002 6:44:29 PM
Jus buries his feelings again, realizing that big things are happening and his group is in the middle of it.
"Agreed, Cantos," Jus says. "No time like the present."
As everyone prepares, Jus goes over to Qualde. "You okay? Anything I can do... to help?" Jus cautiously asks.
Kim - OOC Monday January 28th, 2002 12:26:53 AM [No word from Lee-Anne, who plays Qualde.]
I've e-mailed her. -jk
Nonam Monday January 28th, 2002 7:46:16 AM
Nonam says, "Well then, what are we standing around here for?"
DM JK Monday January 28th, 2002 7:59:39 AM
The group leaves the Overlord's palace. The sounds of a small battle can be heard in the direction of the Diamond Midway. No doubt the priests of Caeroldra and the One are still fighting. The Underramp that will take you down in the lower levels where you can meet the overlord stands just ahead. Not having been asked to participate in the fight you head down...
Little out of the ordinary happens until you make it down to the merchant level. There, a band of scantily clad men and women run through the street passing out candy. The leader runs up and gives Cantos a not-so-chaste kiss and presses some sort of green and white candy into his hand. She whispers in his ear, "Think of me when you eat it." She bites his ear before she runs off. She eats a few of the candies herself as she goes. Her friends pass out similar candies to the rest of the group.
Tericus Monday January 28th, 2002 9:09:09 AM
Pocketing the candy, Tericus mutters, "Thanks."
Gareth Monday January 28th, 2002 10:42:07 AM
The warrior looks over the groups carefully to determine their affiliation. Would they be Caeroldra - or the One groupies? He decides to ask them as they mingle, "So what group are YOU with?"
Addinein Monday January 28th, 2002 11:38:04 AM
Addinein carefully looks over the candy that was handed to him. Putting an amused look on his face, he pockets the confection for later.
Jus Monday January 28th, 2002 1:50:17 PM
Wondering what has become of Qualde, and if she'll be okay, Jus is suddenly awakened from his ruminations by the revelers.
Jus laughs at the sight. The Wold is indeed going crazy. "Nonam, we should save one of these for Onrad. Not telling him how we came across them, of course."
Qualde Monday January 28th, 2002 3:49:52 PM
Not much in the mood for frivolity, Qualde discards the candy. She feels an irrational urge to lash out at the celebrants. To distract herself, she catches up to Jus. "Jus, I am sorry. Your concern is kind. By silence I try to -- contain my anger. Is not deserved by you or these others."
The drow seeks out her brother's gaze. "Should like to visit Breyt'tar, or send word. Domi and Caeroldra were central to them. House will be in chaos, vulnerable to Cult influence."
Nonam Monday January 28th, 2002 6:16:00 PM
Nonam shrugs off the girl that approaches him and he starts to eat the candy. Just before he does, he decides to cast 'detect poison' on it. Then, assuming that it's not poisonous, he pops it in his mouth.
DM JK Tuesday January 29th, 2002 8:52:05 AM
Nonam feels warm and happy. Everyone else chooses not to eat. Gareth isn't able to get an answer to his yells, so soon the merry band is off down the street. Right away you spy a familiar face, it's the crazed prophet from this morning. When he sees you he starts walking right toward shouting once more, "THE END! IT'S COMING! ARE YOU READY!! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT! I HAVE SEEN YOUR END!" He blindly walks out into the street, and SMACK gets run down by a carriage.
His body pops up and down a few times and bends in strange directions as it goes under the horses' hooves. Then he passes under one of the sets of wheels. The heavy wooden wheels roll right over his back and press his body down into the mud. The carriage driver immediately stops and jumps out shouting, "That crazy @$$*, he ran right in front of me."
Tericus Tuesday January 29th, 2002 9:24:43 AM
Running towards the carriage, Tericus quickly examines the man. If he's still breathing, Tericus will cast a heal spell on him, curing him of all wounds.
Gareth Tuesday January 29th, 2002 12:40:18 PM
The warrior is again troubled as he sees the wild man crushed under the carraige. Hopeful that Tericus can help him.
DM JK Tuesday January 29th, 2002 1:33:38 PM OOC: I just did a little housekeeping and removed posting access for people that were playing in the tournament as well as folks that aren't playing in the game anymore. I think that Wade and David are the only 2 without global posting privileges already, and I left them alone. But if I accidentally pulled you, email me or post in the LNB, and I'll fix it right away.
Jus Tuesday January 29th, 2002 1:37:20 PM
Jus blinks at the deja vu, curiously checking the wagon to make sure it's not them from this morning -- that would be too weird.
Curious, and noticing that Nonam seems rather pleased with his candy, Jus pulls his out and eyes it. Maybe...
Qualde d20+6=21 Tuesday January 29th, 2002 8:39:23 PM
Suspicious about the madman's repeated accident, Qualde heads in the direction from whence he emerged into traffic. She looks for anyone showing unusual interest in the drama on the street. (Spot=21)
Cantos Tuesday January 29th, 2002 8:53:44 PM
Cantos starts to mutter and quickly stops, running over to the man he helps him to his feet after Tericus heals him and hangs on to him. " I think that I better get you somewhere safe so we can talk to you."
Nonam Wednesday January 30th, 2002 8:11:39 AM
Unconcerned with the events on hand, Nonam kisses Qualde on the cheek.
DM JK Wednesday January 30th, 2002 8:17:18 AM
Qualde's quick search reveals that the accident has provoked a crowd of onlookers. Before she can learn much else, Nonam gets in the way.
Tericus rushes to the man's side. The crazed prophet, or whatever he is wheezes, "I didn't see this coming. I was there at the end. You were at the end too, but you failed. And we were doomed." Tericus and Cantos get there in time to hear the last words, but the man falls back dead before Tericus has a chance to heal him.
Jus notices that the candy smells good, and the colors sure are bright.
Tericus Wednesday January 30th, 2002 8:31:56 AM
Closing the dead man's eyes, Tericus says to Cantos, "The end? I wonder what he means the end of?"
Addinein Wednesday January 30th, 2002 10:23:19 AM
Looking down at the dead prophet, " Whoever knows thier end? Most consider it lucky to even know when the end is coming."
Looking around to those that are talking, " How is it that we know to take anything he says, to heart?"
Gareth Wednesday January 30th, 2002 11:10:16 AM
"Makes no sense to me. If he was at the end, and he just died, that means the end is either right now or he was wrong. Since it looks like we're still breathing, I'd say he was wrong. Poor guy. Looks like something outside him forced him to have visions that drove him crazy. I have no ideas here. Anyone else?"
Jus Wednesday January 30th, 2002 1:57:28 PM
Jus wonders about the old man and heads over to check him out (pocketing the candy once again -- especially after Nonam's odd behaviour). Gingerly, and with respect, Jus looks for any sign on the man; wondering if he may be the cleric of a fallen god.
"It is a little spooky," Jus admits, "but I wouldn't worry about it too much. We've seen Paladins go crazy from the shaken heavens; we can expect the same from others.
Placing a hand on the man's head, Jus says a quick prayer to whoever his god may be that the man has a safe and proud journey to his god's side.
Cantos Wednesday January 30th, 2002 9:55:46 PM
Cantos gently picks up the man and carries him like a baby to the nearest temple, correction one that is not a Cult god temple, and asks a priest to ensure he is buried properly. Then he rejoins The Storm Dragons and looks at Tericus, "I don't know what he meant but I would sure like to find out."
Qualde Thursday January 31st, 2002 2:49:02 AM
Qualde raises her brows as she briefly studies the shaven-headed mage. "Nonam," she begins cautiously, "You have opinion about this?" The drow's gesture encompasses the accident scene and the unfortunate madman. "Have guess or proposal of action?" She puts a friendly hand on his arm, ready to restrain Nonam if he tries to run in front of a passing carriage.
Nonam Thursday January 31st, 2002 8:46:29 AM
Nonam grins like a besotted fool when Qualde puts her hand on his arm. Then he puts a hand on top of hers, "I only have opinions about you my love."
DM JK Thursday January 31st, 2002 9:01:06 AM
From his time in the city, Cantos knows that the Merchant Level houses a shrine to Domi, Caeroldra, and Gargul. Domi and Caeroldra seem like lost bets. Fortunately, the shrine to Gargul was devoted to Kevintar, the avatar that stands for death and opposed to Marteaus. Plus it's right across the street.
The priests of Gargul see Cantos coming and rush out to help him with his burden. In exchange for the body, they give Cantos a pin fashioned like an eye, it's a holy symbol of Gargul. One stays to speak, "Sir Dragon, Remember Gargul in your prayers. His strength is needed to defeat the upstart Marteaus, but the people of Wold have turned their backs on him. So he doesn't listen. Remember him, and he will remember us."
Once Cantos carries the body away, the carriage driver quips, "You all saw it. It wasn't my fault." Then he takes off. Since the show seems to be over, the crowd starts to break apart.
Nonam definitely isn't acting like himself.
Tericus Thursday January 31st, 2002 9:22:02 AM
Seeing how Nonam is acting after he ate the candy, Tericus casts detect magic on his piece.
Cantos Thursday January 31st, 2002 12:49:10 PM
Cantos thanks the priest and puts the pin in a hip pouch. He then slides the candy in the same pouch and returns to his friends.
Addinein Thursday January 31st, 2002 7:27:21 PM
Not picking up on the connection, Addinein watches his sister's reaction to Nonam. These topsiders have some strange habits
Gareth Thursday January 31st, 2002 10:27:54 PM
The warrior eyes the mage warily. "Nonam, you OK? Why are you acting so funny?".
Qualde Friday February 1st, 2002 6:17:47 AM
Torn between concern and amusement, Qualde tugs Nonam into motion. "Then tell me on road to Underlord, Nonam. I wonder: if limit scope of opinion so, does limit Woldview as well?
"Tericus," she continues in husky voice, "If one is enchanted or cursed, you can remove?"
Nonam Friday February 1st, 2002 7:30:06 AM
Nonam looks lovingly at Qualde and says in very good undercommon, "What do you mean by limit Woldview? Your common is usually top notch, better than Gareth's even, but I don't quite know what you mean this time?"
DM JK Friday February 1st, 2002 7:41:18 AM
Tericus detects no magic in the candy. He guesses that it must contain some sort of herb or other natural ingredient like alcohol that wouldn't trigger a detect poison spell but nonetheless affects the mind. Nonam will have to let it wear off or find something that counteracts the candy. Coffee perhaps?
Cantos returns, holy symbol of Gargul in his pocket. Cantos' bardic knowledge leads him to believe that Nonam has eaten what is commonly referred to as "passion weed." It should wear off in a day or two, maybe less since the dose was small.
Once again, one of Gareth's questions fails to get a response.
Other than doting on Qualde, Nonam seems relatively normal.
[Kent awarded a whopping 25gp each for getting our char sheets in on time. Congrats and don't spend it all in one place.]
Jus (STR+5, DEX+5, CON+4) d4+1=5 d4+1=5 d4+1=4 Friday February 1st, 2002 8:09:01 AM
Jus looks up at the sky, judging the day past noon. He decides to go ahead and starts casting some of his long-lasting spells (Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, Endurance, and Greater Magic Weapon on his Arrows [and 15 of Cantos or Tericus' arrows/bolts, if they want]).
Jus falls to the back of the party, cautiously watching Nonam as they head to the Underlord. In the back of the mind, he tries to figure out how the old man could be with the Storms at the end time if he already died. It would be *very* weird if they came across him again.
A chill goes through his spine as he thinks about his family again. He'll write them first chance, asking how they fair in this holy mess.
woohoo! what great rolls! JK, send us something to fight, I'm ready now! ;) remember that you asked for a fight -jk
Tericus Friday February 1st, 2002 9:05:12 AM
"It's some herbal concoction. I don't think it's poisonous, but if you all want I can try a remove poison spell, though I don't think it will work."
Gareth Friday February 1st, 2002 11:25:45 AM
The warrior leads the group to the Underlord's place, deciding to let Nonam do what he wants.
Cantos Friday February 1st, 2002 2:58:28 PM
"Well I have good news and bad," Cantos says as he trys to conceal a smile. "Nonam has eaten a bit of passion weed. He should be okay in a day or two." For some reason, with everything that has happened in the past days, this causes Cantos to start laughing uncontrollably.
Nonam Saturday February 2nd, 2002 11:04:10 AM
Nonam looks concerned for a moment, but then he catches sight of Qualde again and a big dopey grin replaces any sign of worry.
