Return Journey to Burnt Eldor (DM Dominic) Friday August 8th, 2003 3:59:17 AM
Your travels back towards Burnt Eldor take you a couple of days. During the first day you notice that the woods are more calm and peaceful. Halfway through the second day you feel a slight pain in each of your shoulders and hear the clear tone of a bell in your minds. A few moments later you seem to be looking through the eyes of someone stopping for a rest. You continue to see through this persons eyes for a couple of moments longer then you are all seeing again through your own eyes and nolonger hear the bell or feel the pain. After another hours walk you come upon a small clearing and see a small person stopping for what appears to be a rest. As you see this you all are shocked as you have seen this happening before but from the person in the clearings point of view. As you look closer you see that it is a halfling.
**** ooc - Kevin you can now start posting. ****
Barnum Berrybrawn Friday August 8th, 2003 5:51:05 PM
"Well this is a pleasant surprise!" The halfling exclaims, and leaps to his feet. He is about 3'1" tall, with shoulder-legnth curly black hair, a lock of which hangs over his left eye. His eyes are a deep green color, and his clothes are exquisite. He wears a fine white shirt, well-tailored brown pants, and meticulously polished black boots. Most of his fingers have golden rings on them, some of them with gemstones, some without. His most brilliant piece of clothing is a vibrant red cloak, with gold trimming. You might not notice it, but the cloak seems to make you like him more. On his shoulder sits a raven.
"Well, well, well. It's been days since I've seen anyone! I'm... eh... a bit lost, you see. You could say that I'm not from around here. And earlier, a few days ago, I was attacked by, if you believe this, monsters that looked like carnivorous bushes! Well then, my name and Barnum Berrybrawn, master arcanist, and great traveler of the Northern Continent, and now the Southern! And you are?"
Sly Foxx and Luke Friday August 8th, 2003 6:31:31 PM
As Sly enters the clearing with the others, Walks over to about three feet from him, "Greeting! errr Barnum is it? My name is Sly Foxx and this is my Dog Luke, we call our selves The Childern of Chaos. when or where there's mayhem or chaos thats where you'll find us. By the way did you happen to hear a bell toll about a few moments ago?" ask Sly. The half elf stands there in frount of him, he wears a green hat with a phesant fearher on it, under his green cloak you can see he wears a beautiful Chainshirt, He is also wearing Nice boots (that does not seem to leave any tracks).
Luke barks at the stranger, "Don't mind Luke, he's just telling me that he approves of you." turning to the party "Look Ilsidur! Some one smaller than you. Here comes the rest of the party."
Sir Thomas Saturday August 9th, 2003 1:54:11 AM
Upon the event with the bell, Thomas starts to mumble in frustration. "Stupid bell .... can't figure that thing out .... try to use it, nothing .... then I'm riding through the woods and bang it causes a pain in my shoulder .... stupid .... greatest power indeed ... curse and cure my foot .... if I wasn't tattooed I'd .... ..... ....."
He catches himself after a short period of ranting, then composes himself to meet the seeimgly friendly halfling.
"Well met sir. I am Sir Thomas Hurley, messenger of Domi. These are my friends, and together we travel as curse and cure .... the children of chaos." Thomas then offers a respectful bow, but makes no move to dismount Pryte-Honos.
Trace and Radiant Saturday August 9th, 2003 3:20:33 AM
Trace rides up next to Sir Thomas and introduces himself to the newcomer as well. "I am Trace, I come from the North as well. Dont worry but we shouldnt see any angry folage for awhile. None the less allways good to see a friendly face no matter where you are."
Trace nudges Sir Thomas, "If my memory serves me correctly. You gracefull manuvers way back when allowed that lovely bell to ring. Wich is now a pain in our arm and allways in our rear.
OOC: Carl: Adventurer's Repose Sunday August 10th, 2003 8:19:31 AM
Please resend Barnum's Adventurer's Repose sheet. Apologies for the inconvenience.
Peerimus and Yorrick Sunday August 10th, 2003 5:37:10 PM
Peerimus walks to stand next to Sly and gives a short nod to the halfling, "I am Peerimus and this is Yorrick, you are oddly overly dressed for a walk in the wood friend. We are headed to a village nearby and I'm sure you would be welcome to journey with us." Yorrick moves in very close on Barnum and gives him a sniff before wandering past to take care of a scratch with a tree,
Barnum and Edgar Sunday August 10th, 2003 8:15:41 PM
Barnum gives a friendly nod to Sly. "Bell? No I didn't hear any bell... May I say, though, that that's a beautiful hat your wearing!" Barnum gives Luke a puzzled look.
Barnum bows, semi-respectfully, to Sir Thomas, saying, "Sir Thomas Hurley? The name sounds very vaguely familiar, somehow. Nevertheless, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hello there Trace, that's a magnificent looking bird you have you there." Barnum replies. Edgar, the raven on Barnum's shoulder, calls over to Radiant, in a tongue that only a bird could understand, "Well met, stranger! You look like someone I could have an intelligent conversation with! Not like this lummox of a master I'm perching on right now."
Barnum cringes a bit when the mighty Yorrick approaches him, feeling the strangest feeling of deja vu. "Overly dressed, you say? Ah! My clothes! Yes, they are magnificent, are they not? Don't worry about the woods getting them dirty, I've got my own way of keeping them clean. A village, you say! That's wonderful! It's been so long since I've been to a nice village! If you'd let me, I'd love to come along with you, and if not, I'd probably follow from a distance, seeing as how I'm lost and all."
Savin Sunday August 10th, 2003 10:07:37 PM
Savin nods his head at the strange little halfling and extends his hand to be shaken. If the halfling reaches forward, he will inspect the arm and hand for telltale tattoos.
"My name is Savin. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Ilsidur Sunday August 10th, 2003 10:59:24 PM
Ilsidur, a dwarf in plate armour, joins his friends at greeting the halfling. He smiles at Sly's comment, and says, "Young Sly, I have met many people, both larger and smaller than myself, and I learned long ago that size has little bearing on the value of a person."
Then he turns to the halfling and says, "Well met, Barnum. My name is Ilsidur Wayfinder, one of the Children of Chaos. Please accept our invitation to travel with us, and tell us a little about yourself."
Shiraz Monday August 11th, 2003 9:11:48 AM
Shiraz walks carefully into the clearing and while not scowling does his best to use a frown as his defenses until his companions find out about the newcomer.
Arrival in Burnt Eldor (DM Dominic) Monday August 11th, 2003 5:41:22 PM
After a short break and light snack in the clearing with Barnum, you continue on to Burnt Eldor. You arrive there after another couple of hours of easy travel. Once you arrive you are greeted by several villagers. The villagers are gladdened by the news that Caelmus gives them and say amongst each other that there needs to be a celebration to the end of the dark blight upon them. You are wisked into the village and taken to see Alassie. When you arrive she looks at each of you the tels you "you have done us a great honor by defeating the blight of the woods. Tonight we shall feast in your honor." She then calls out "show the honorable folk a place to freashen up and rest before the feast!" Alassie says to you "we shall speak furthur shortly, go please make your selves ready for the feast tonight." With that your are all shown with great fanfair to rooms so that you can cleanup and refreshen. A short time later you are all show to what looks to be a well laid out feast. During the feast you are each (not including Barnum) handed a small pouch. When you look to see what is inside you find the following (100 PP, and a small token with the symbol of Burnt Eldor.) Alassie tells each of you "this is our gift of gratitude for defeating the darkness of the woods. The token is a token of friendship welcoming you to Burnt Eldor as honored friends to our village."
*** OOC: will be getting each of you your xp and hero points this week and tomorrow we start the new module.
Sly Foxx and Luke Monday August 11th, 2003 8:00:25 PM
"Yes! I aggree with you, Ilsidur. I did meet a little gnome once, her name was Flea. I'm telling you she was one fine cook". They all rested and snack. They all track on, then there it was Burnt Eldor. A sight for sore eyes, Sly enters and bows an elven greetings to Alassie and to every body else in the village. He accept the help to his room "Come! Luke. Let's go and take a nice hot bath." Luke takes off (as if the dog understude the "B" word) goes and hindes with Yurrick.
Sly sprouces himself up in a new shirt and pants, combing his hair. Then goes down to the dinning hall for the feast. During the feast Sly accepts the small pouch (Not even counting the contence of the bag) but handles the small token of Burnt Eldor (you can tell it means alot to him). Turning to Caelmus asking him, "Well now that the danger is over, What are you going to do now? Friend Caelmus."
Barnum Monday August 11th, 2003 10:02:59 PM
Barnum enjoys the feast tremendously, wolfing down food as fast as it is put in front of him. "More wine! Delicious wine!" he says, waving a hand in the air as he gulps down another glass of the stuff. "Alemi must have some great love for me, to let me find wonderful people like you who come to a village and receive a feast in their honor!" He bites down on a turkey leg as an Elf maiden fills his glass with wine. Edgar eats about half an omelette, then waits out on a branch of a tree.
OOC: When Savin inspected my arms, he found no tattoos.
Sir Thomas Monday August 11th, 2003 11:46:48 PM
Upon arriving in Burnt Eldor, Thomas takes the time to make sure Pryte is comfortable in the stables. Not wanting to be uncooth, he does rush to be part of the acceptance of the group. He is gracious in making sure the elves understand that he found the effort to be "all in a day's work as a messenger of Domi". He accepts the offer to clean up and is very enthusiastic about the opportunity. He also accepts the pouch and the friendship medalion.
He speaks freely to those around him during the feast. He comments and compliments on the beauty of the forest as it is returning rapidly. He lets others with better bardic ability tell the story of their triumph in the woods. Lastly, he also speaks freely of Domi and for what the God stands.
He seems much more cheerful than on the return visit.
Shiraz Tuesday August 12th, 2003 9:05:27 AM
Shiraz noticing that the halfling seems to be accepted by the group warms up a bit,"I am Shiraz, and I also am not from here." Shiraz extends his rather large hand. Upon entering Burnt Elder the taur takes the time to carefull clean up and even brushes out his hide. As the village hands him his pouch Shiraz hisses a bit and asks,"Are you sure this can be spared?"
Savin d20+6=26 Tuesday August 12th, 2003 10:37:49 AM
Savin goes and takes a bath and cleans himself up. He will put on his finest clothes and pin on the token given him. He will grab the pan pipes and head down to the feast.
He will play the pan pipes and wonderful music flows from them. He will encourage others to dance and will promote a good time for all.

Peerimus and Yorrick d20+1=11 Tuesday August 12th, 2003 12:34:14 PM
Peerimus greatfully excepts the bag and when alone will open it. The money is second thought and the druid attaches the pin to teh left of the one recieved from the elven king on the magical highway. Peerimus cleans himself and Yorrick as well, brushing the big bear thoroughly. Before joining teh party he re applies his face paint, but uses blues and greens as a celebration is at hand. Upon Savin beginning to play, Peerimus is up with wine in hand with anyone willing to dance, if no one seems to be forthcoming he grabs Sly. [Perform 11]
Ilsidur Tuesday August 12th, 2003 10:07:48 PM
Ilsidur responds to Alassie, "Thank you for the token, and the reward. As young Sir Thomas has expressed, we were all happy to have been able to help." He pins the token beside the other one presented by the elven party on the elven road, and beside the leaf from Hollow's demise.
Trace and Radiant Wednesday August 13th, 2003 1:49:03 AM
Trace thanks everyone for the gift he has recived and then goes back to the feast and enjoying the wine flowing. All the while keeping an eye out for the elven maiden that he had left behind in hopes of her company agian. He likes it here and feels that if he didnt have the burden and duty/honor of the chaos he might consider living in this area. Not in the village but the area in genearal since he is not that comfortable in citys or villages. Trace sends Radiant to fetch an apple off the buffet table and return it to him as bit of a show off but never the less just enjoy the evening.
