Drinks and contests Friday December 12th, 2003 2:12:28 PM
As the party rages on most of the crowd slowly filters out, alittle help for those who were drunk though.
Teleheri finds that the minataurs are drinking for the fun of it and try dragging him into it. If he tries to stick in the cotnest from some what beginning to end then he will be found quite drunk before the other minatuars, inless he has some spell up his sleeve to help him against alcohol.
For once you find yourselves pretty much alone and the barkeep is just wiping down the bar as the barmaide goes about cleaning tables.
Once of the cute barmaides sees Sly, she had come in late in the party and calls out, "Is that you Sly? Weren't you at Heranmar once?"
Sly Foxx(Ceil) Friday December 12th, 2003 3:51:23 PM
Sly knows better that not to drink but one gulp or two, he then passes the cup to Shiraz, to Ilsidur, to Barnum. Niobe and Sly drink elven white wine for almost the night. Telling Tall tales and big lies. They are all getting tired, Sly look under the table where Luke is sleeping "Keeping my spot warm are you?" Sly smiles. He get to his feet. Ask Niobe if she want a room or share one with him?? Then head for the barkeeper, When this cute little barmaide ask him if he was ever in Heranmar. Sly smiles "Yes I was, that was about a few years ago? That town bring back a lot of memories. Why??"
Niobe Friday December 12th, 2003 4:13:31 PM
Niobe slowly drinks her white wine. She will only have two - maybe three - glasses all night depending how long she stays up for. She enjoys telling a tale or two about life in the city and the merchants here, but more than that Niobe loves to listen to others tell stories. Niobe grins as Sly asks if she might consider sharing a room. Before Sly goes to the barkeep Niobe whispers in his ear, "are you certain you want to share a room with me? You don't even know what I do for living yet... For me, I will gladly share or just pay for my own room. Also that barmaid has taken a fancy to you. Oh... and what would Luke say?" She smiles as she waits to see what sort of reply; if any, she might get from Sly. Niobe will only half listen to the discussion about Heranmar, but try to keep her focus on the other patrons. She will also keep an eye on Teleheri just in case the Minotaurs start to get rowdy... If nothing comes up she will casually watch who is left and consider the weight of their purses, before retiring for the evening.
Barnum (KevinL) Friday December 12th, 2003 4:57:17 PM
As the trophy of Green Gnomish is passed to him, Barnum says, "I've definitely had enough to drink last night, so I think I'll pass on this." Then, completely contradictively, he takes a big gulp of the stuff from the winner's cup and passes it to his neighbor. Edgar mocks him.
Barnum looks over at Sly, his eyes half glazed over, "Ah... My friend. I'll tell you a story. I once spent a night with a woman who was 'good with locks and such.' I woke up alone that morning and someone had taken all my gold!" Barnum bursts out laughing, and continues to laugh for a good while.
Peerimus (Daniel K) Friday December 12th, 2003 8:50:47 PM
Peerimus smiles at Savin and lets himself take in the story. At least it would put his mind off where he was. At the end, Peerimus holds out his hand for a rare handshanke to the monk.
"I and Yorrick are going to get some fresh night air and shall see you in the morning."
With a final nod he and the Kodiak silently leave. Savin sees Peerimus's form shimmer in the moonlight. This night 2 Kodiak bears are moving into the nearby trees.
Teleheri (PH) Friday December 12th, 2003 10:02:47 PM
As the minos try to push Teleheri into the contest, he politely rejects. "Not today my friend! I already had a bad hangover yesterday."
As the minos start to fall drunk, and woody notice that the tavern is getting empty, he come back to his new friends, and kind start analize his companions, especially yhe elf lady (Niobe), as he notes that she looks like a rogue, just as him. Start to remember his old life, years before he arrive into this strange continent. Then he looks at link, sleeping near a beer pool. {good cat. loves beer just like me!}
As the barmaid talk to Sly about Heranmar, he starts to pay attention to their talking, trying to remember if he has already been there.
Savin d20+8=16 Saturday December 13th, 2003 12:02:01 AM
Savin says goodnight to Peerimus and Yorrick. He watches in awe as the Druid changes form and moves away.
He pulls out his ivory pipes and starts playing a lively song. He will call out, "Let's see some dancing!"
OOC Savin gets +2 with the panpipes. They are a master work. Total of 18 on perform roll
Ilsidur Sunday December 14th, 2003 10:22:07 PM
Ilsidur continues to celebrate, getting ready to wind down for the evening.
Justin Webber (DM) Music and talk Monday December 15th, 2003 2:14:28 PM
The barmaide grins at Sly as she leans on the bar, her outfit really leaving nothing to imagination, "Well I just came here a few weeks ago but was born there. My mother is a wizardess there, if you ever go back then I like you to give something to her for me."
Savin plays a good song and the few patrons in the bar dance to it. The night hours slowly begin to wind down though.
Peerimus (daniel k) Monday December 15th, 2003 4:35:14 PM
Peerimus spends the eveing prowling the nearby wood with Yorrick. The fresh air and open skies of the night are invigorating. The duo hike about for hours before settling on an area to bed down for the night in.
"Those last two would complete my dream my old friend," Peerimus begins with Yorrick. "Soon we should be off on the beginning of this quest that has been set before us. Mother and Father Wold be us, for it will be dangerous I am sure." At this comment, Yorrick growls his readiness to the tasks ahead.
"I agree, we are prepared, our friends are true, our hearts enforced and our friendship unbreakable." Peermus sighs a great bear sigh. "Goodnight my friend and keeper."
Sly Foxx(ceil) Monday December 15th, 2003 6:03:35 PM
Sly Sly drinks in the barmaids bounty "I don't know where we are off to next, But I'll gladly do you a favor," Sly smiles at her. The Bar keeper give Sly two Keys.
Sly turn his attention to Niobe, You miss understand my dear. when we travel and have the pleasure to be in an Inn like this, We order two room Halv the party takes one room and the other half that the other. I was going to ask for another room, but if you want to save money and SHARE my room, that alright with me."
Then Sly turn back to the bar maid "What is it you want me to give her and where does she live?".
Niobe d20+4=11 Monday December 15th, 2003 7:02:44 PM
Niobe laughs. "I stand corrected. I am not used to staying at inns or travelling with others; beyond merchant caravans. I normally work alone as well..." She trusts that the flush of the wine will hide her blush. Typical that willpower fails when it shouldn't! Niobe continues to chuckle and turns to the innkeeper (speaking quietly), "Good Sir, for this evening I will keep my own quarters. Is it possible to be woken early?" As she steps away from the bar she barely turns towards Sly and states quietly, "Ask Mister Teleheri or Mister Barnum what I do for a living. I believe that they have an inkling of my "trade". You may or may not be surprised." Niobe takes her leave after paying for her drinks, a room and breakfast in the morning. She figures that it is best to be leaving now before she gets too tempted to "earn" a little extra wealth... and stumble into any further misunderstandings. If the noise isn't too loud then folks can hear Niobe still chuckling as she ascends the stairs. She will look over her clothing and see if there is any mending that needs to be done. If there is then she will do that until she doesn't feel quite so off-kilter. Then she will take a the pitcher of water and the wash basin and get cleaned up before changing to a light nightgown and putting her gear neatly under her bed. Niobe slides the bar across her door for the night and thinks about tomorrow.
(will check (self-control) 11 - oh boy!)
Shiraz (Wade) Monday December 15th, 2003 10:14:42 PM
Shiraz enjoys the company of the bar for a bit then when the time is right the taur slips outside and heads for the serenity of the stables. Once inside the taur kneels down and reverently pulls the same book he has been studying for weeks out of his backpack and settles in for several hours of quiet meditation and contemplation.
Savin Monday December 15th, 2003 10:23:21 PM
Savin will notice his friends scattering for the evening. He will stow his pipes away and follow Niobe up the stairs. "Excuse me Niobe? Do you mind if we share a room?" Suddenly the innocent monk will realize what he asks and he stammers on, "I mean uh their is safety in numbers. I don't think I earned any new friends during the race and either did you. I know some of the elves would like my hide on the side of the barn....uhhhh...never mind."
Savin will turn and head back down the stairs at a good clip. If he isn't stopped he will head out of the Inn and go looking for Peerimus. When he doesn't find him he will find some barn to sleep in.
If Niobe does offer him shelter, he will gladly accept and engage her in conversation until she tells him to shut up and go to sleep
Ilsidur Tuesday December 16th, 2003 12:24:47 AM
Ilsidur finishes his last mug of beer, and heads upstairs for the night. He gathers up the winner's cup before he leaves, though.
Niobe - addendum Tuesday December 16th, 2003 12:30:48 AM
Niobe doesn't mind sharing, and so will accept Savin's offer. She gently grabs his wrist as Savin turns to leave. "No, Savin I don't mind. You can tell me about how you all came to be in the race in the first place." Niobe grins and releases Savin's wrist. She expects that Savin will follow her up the stairs. "Maybe you might tell me about those Elves as well - but you do not have to of course!" If anyone else decides to retire early then they are welcome to tag along, Niobe will see to it that the innkeep will bring in a few more mattresses and such. She expects the room to have at least two separate beds!
(Having someone sharing the room doesn't change her evening routine in the slightest.)
Teleheri and Link (PH) Tuesday December 16th, 2003 8:27:27 AM
"Man, my head hurts! i guess that green thing we drink made me sick. that's why i only drink beer." Link wake up, and jump into Teleheri's shoulder. "Headache too uh link? lets go to bed"
Woody look around, and as he sees and hear the orther guys trying to sleep with niobe, he thinks to himself {These guys are good guys. Or they have a lor of courage, or they are terrible stupid to ask a theif lady the sleep on the same room as them}
"Hey guys, im going to sleep. Were are we going tomorrow, i mean, if you dont have anything against me getting along with you"
As Teleheri hear the answer, he goes to the bartender and ask for a room. When get the key , he go back to the others "Ill be in this room. See you tomorrow, if you need a new company on your travels"
Justin Webber (DM) Goodnights Tuesday December 16th, 2003 3:03:49 PM
The barmaide gives Sly a simple looking ring and smiles, "Give this to her and tell her that Liana made is making it on her own fine. She lives right near the entrance of the city and her house is painted a sick yellow color. Can't miss it."
Liana leans in and kisses Sly's cheek softly, "As reward for doing this quest for me good sir and thank you. Sleep well."
Everyone beds down for the night, some in better shape then others from their late night partying. The sun has just began to rise and light barely shines through the window when you can hear down stairs the opening of the tavern. The bartender had offers to rent the rooms to you that your currently sleeping in.
Alittle while passes yet and then the smell of food cooking can be smelled through out the tavern signing that the owner is having breakfast prepared to serve to customers.
Barnum and Edgar Tuesday December 16th, 2003 4:27:30 PM
Barnum is awakened by a mad fluttering of feathers upon his face. He speaks, without opening his eyes, "Ugh... Edgar, what IS it?!" The raven replies quickly, "Wake up you fool! Breakfast is ready!" Barnum speaks back, throwing his head underneath his pillow, "When have YOU ever been more excited about food than ME?" The bird answers him, "My dear halfwit, do you know how long it's been since I've had a plate of scrambled eggs?" All of the raven's poking and prodding are of no use though, as Barnum, aching with a headache, quickly falls back to sleep.
Slightly frustrated, Edgar himself flies down to the tavern's main room and perches himself right in front of the bartender, and says plainly in common, "Would you be making any scrambled eggs, this morning?" Edgar makes a note of the bartender's reaction to a talking bird.
Niobe (Eunice) d20+10=13 Tuesday December 16th, 2003 6:37:39 PM
Niobe sleeps lightly and wakes with the first light through the window and the noises from downstairs. She moves around as quietly as she can while getting herself washed and dressed and her gear in order for the day. Niobe also straightens up the bed, in essence she is leaving no trace of herself behind in the room. She double checks to make sure she hasn't forgotten anything of hers in the room. She hasn't practiced any thieving; as she had a few drinks last night... Niobe shoulders her gear and slides the bar from the door. She hopes that she doesn't wake Savin (unless he is already up). When she gets downstairs she will ask the innkeeper if she can have a bath and eat her breakfast while bathing. Niobe will take her gear with her to the bath-house if there is an opportunity to get a bath. Niobe will bid a good morning to any of the others she may or may not see in the common room this morning.
(Move Silently 13)
Savin Tuesday December 16th, 2003 8:58:26 PM
Savin will lurch up at of bed. He rubs his eyes, yawns and inhales deeply. He smiles when he sees Niobe making the bed. "You know they have maids for that?"
He will spring from bed, tread over to the pitcher and bowl and pour some water into the bowl. He will quickly glance at Niobe and turn away from her. He will peel off his shirt and wash his face and neck. Niobe can notice he is extremely fit. Not an ounce of fat on him and he has a very muscular back. He will pull a clean shirt out of his pack and pull it over his head. He will quickly gather up his stuff and say, "Thanks for sharing the room last night. I enjoyed our conversation. Coming to breakfast?"
Savin will then head to the common room and see Edgar ordering breakfast. He smiles at the look on the tavern owners face. He chimes in, "Yes scrambled eggs sound great. Tell you what good man. Bring two platters of eggs, toast, a pork chop and milk. I will buy for our feathered friend."
When the man is off to get breakfast going, Savin will ask Edgar, "Where is Barum? To much to drink last night or is the bed to comfortble and he wants you to bring him breakfast in bed?"
Teleheri and Link (PH) Tuesday December 16th, 2003 9:03:58 PM
Woody open his eyes as smells food, and quick wake up, still feeling a little headache, and call Link "hey cat, lets eat!"
As he make sure that nothing was stolen, he goes downstairs and say hello to the others that are already there, especially to Niobe "Hey girl. your look good this morning. makes my hangover ends! Link, dont eat the bird, be his friend! i guess we will stay together for some time."
"Hey, bar keeper, bring me a beer mug to get along with this breakfest." After finish eating, he say to the others, "I'll go to the stables, look how my horse is. ill be back soon"
He goes in direction of the stables (unless somthing interesting happens before he left)
Sly Foxx (Ceil) Tuesday December 16th, 2003 9:24:39 PM
Sly was sitting on Niobe's door, he was rubbing Luke's ears. "Good morning Niobe, are you going down for breakfast? Tell me have you ever been to Heranmar latly?(Sly's stumac grols) Hmm! I very hungry, Come let's eat and talk. I haven't met a girl like you in a long time." Sly will take Niobe to breakfast and Luke will follow then close behind.
Shiraz (Wade) Tuesday December 16th, 2003 10:24:46 PM
Shiraz wakes early, well before the sun rises and quietly works his way downstirs and to the back of the barn where the taur first checks on his companions animal friends and then to attend to his morning devotionals. Shiraz then walks to the front of the inn and begins working on his forms with his swords his movements slow and sure as the taur seems to be fighting invisible enimies until the huge minotaur's arms, swords and shield all seem a blur of movement. Hearing the movemetn within Shiraz stops, kneels in prayer and quietly enters the inn, sweat dripping from his brow.
Ilsidur Wednesday December 17th, 2003 12:02:38 AM
Ilsidur wakes up alone yet again, regretting that every woman in this part of the world seems to be either elven or human. He remembers a cute blond-haired dwarven lass from his youth with some fondness, and momentarily wishes he was back home in his village. Then he shakes his momentary melancholy off, and quickly dresses, making his way downstairs. His dwarven constitution allows him to shake off the effects of last night's celebration, leaving him hungry and thirsty.
The dwarf sits down at the table with his friends, both old and new, and wonders how Sir Thomas is doing, since he has parted ways with the Children. Then he orders a breakfast of eggs and sausage, with a tall glass of water and a short stein of beer to wash it down.
"So," he says to no-one in particular, "I wonder what today will bring?"
Peerimus Wednesday December 17th, 2003 12:00:27 PM
The warm sun bathes the now human druid and his companion Yorrick in its warming light and brings him to a sitting position with a yawn and a stretch.
A few stretches and natural noise later and he is up and settting up for his morning prayers. Sitting crosslegged and facing north, he puts his arms out wide and head back studying the coming day. Several minutes pass before he turns to face South, then east and finally west.
"We appear to be in for a glorious day today." he calls over his shoulder to the still napping bear. A few berries to pop in the mouth and a swig of water to chase it. In honor of the sun and grass, he smears a three finger thick line of Yellow across his forehead just above his eyes and then from ear to chn as wide as his hand on both sides he covers with a thin brown mud.
"we should head in and meet everyone else." Peerimus walks, in his usuals light footed but quick pace to the inn with Yorrick 3 feet behind. Upon arrival he will smile and salute his compatriots and then move with Yorrick to a seat next to Savin and Ilsidur.
"Today my friend, the glory of the Wold about us all. My question is 'Where shall we point ourselves? I believe our destiny lies towards the interior. That we 'Children of Chaos' are meant to end the chaos that is the migration of the southern continent."
Justin Webber (DM) Food Wednesday December 17th, 2003 2:31:29 PM
The baremaid sees Niobe first and walks to her, "This way miss and I'll show you to where you may bath." The barmaide quickly leads Niobe out of the INN and to a place to bath and returns while Niobe sees to cleaning.
The tavern owner doesn't seem to notice the bird actually as he speaks and simple waves a large spoon at a table, "Have a seat sir."
When Savin orders the bartender comes over with a plater and lays it down, it contains food and drink that Savin ordered, "Here you go sir...er sirs."
Soon the rest of the group is down also to sit at the table with Savin and the coversation of where to next comes up. Hearing this the barmaide comes over to the table tapping Sly's arm, "Why don't you all head to my home to give that ring and what I told you to my mother? Would give you time to see the city again and you never know what else might hapn there."
(OOC:I'll charge you all for the room and food on the next post, I have to look up room and food prices.)
Sly Foxx and Luke Wednesday December 17th, 2003 6:11:52 PM
"I was thinking and this beautiful barmaid has reminded me. That most of you has never seen where the Bell of Chaos rang for the first time. And on the way we can give the gift to this lovely miss, her presant to her mother.
That means we have to go north to Heranmar, then west to the old Monestary, What do you think, It will be a nice little vacation from the action we've been in the last year." Sly give a plate of eggs and meat to Luke and another plate of egg and huney buns to Yurric.
Barnum and Edgar Wednesday December 17th, 2003 6:23:33 PM
Edgar gives a kind of nod of appreciation to Savin, "Breakfast in bed? For Barnum? I'll serve him breakfast in bed the day he buys me a nest of gold! Ha! No, he's still sleeping, that drunkard bum."
"What's this about a drunkard bum?" groans a slightly disheveled halfling, lurching down the stairs. Barnum sits down, and orders himself another platter of eggs and bacon, and a tall mug of... water.
"I hate to say this, but Edgar and I will have to be leaving you all for a period of time, as we have a few obligations to attend to." Barnum begins. Edgar chirps in, "Yes, Barnum tends to make a lot of promises that he has difficulty keeping."
"Ahem. As I was saying, it's just a few odds and ends that I need to take care of. But I did swear that if you helped me rescue Edgar, that I would assist you in whatever it is that you need assisting, so it shall not be the last you see of us, whether that's a good thing or not is for you to decide." Barnum ends with a wink, and returns to his food.
Savin Wednesday December 17th, 2003 8:21:25 PM
Around a mouthfull of food, Savin will reply, "Yes I would like to see this Bell of Chaos. If we can find a good deed to do along the way, all the better. One way is as good as the other as long as we have good fellowship, high adventure and a chance to try and test or skills in combat."
Niobe Wednesday December 17th, 2003 8:37:35 PM
After a little; but before everyone is finished eating, Niobe returns from the bath-house. She is smiling and humming a merry little tune. Her clothing is once again immaculate, and in spite of drab colors still eye-catching. She puts her gear down by the bar and sits down on a stool next to it. Niobe quietly orders a light breakfast of bread, cheese, fruit and heavily watered-down wine. While waiting for her breakfast she will turn and look at the others, "Good morning all! I hope you all slept well." Niobe sounds disgustingly chipper this morning, "oh... Sly, an answer to your question from earlier. I have never been to Heranmar. Also, do any of you gentlemen mind me joining you for breakfast this morn?" She smiles, and of course in her quest for cleanliness missed the conversation about the Chaos Bell...
Teleheri and Link (PH) Wednesday December 17th, 2003 9:37:34 PM
Woody get back into the tavern after checking his horse and sits on the same table as everyone. "Herenmar... never been there either. I guess we will take a ride with you again."
Woody smiles, and await to see were we are going now, and ask if the others would accept him as their companion.
Shiraz (Wade) Wednesday December 17th, 2003 10:01:25 PM
Shiraz wipes the sweat from his face and after checking the edge of each sword resheathes each of them with loving care. "The bell would be a nice sight indeed." Shiraz looks over towards Barnum,"Where must you go? I mean why? Can we assist you here or on our way instead of parting?"
Ilsidur Wednesday December 17th, 2003 10:30:18 PM
Ilsidur swallows his last bite of breakfast, washing it down with the last bit of beer. "So, back to Heranmar, is it? It has been a while since we have been there; it would be worthwhile to see how the repairs are going. Before we leave, I suggest you let me take the 16,000 gp to the catacombs to purchase healing items. We are very low, and really only have my and Peerimus' spells available. What do you think?"
Peerimus Thursday December 18th, 2003 11:00:38 AM
The druid mostly observes at first this morning, not being too sure on who may have overindulged the night before, but soon settles on Barnum being the only culprit. Yorrick sets himself upon the plate of food given by Sly with an appreciative growl.
"I have never seen this bell, though I have heard it's ring on more than one occasion. Staring back near the beggining is as good as any." Turning to Teleheri, "Morning to you and welcome to our table, and to you womanas well." he adds with Niobe's entrance. "Good thought Ilsidur, magical wands I would think."
Since it is clear the others are still eating, Peerimus stnads and starts essentially helping the wait staff in regards to the table his friends are at.
Justin Webber (DM) Deciding Thursday December 18th, 2003 2:41:28 PM
The group talks about there next destination while eating and Barnum brings up he will have to leave for ashort time.
Peerimus tries to help with the serving of the table but the barmaide simple thanks him and asks him to sit down, that she is use to this.
After the group has ate and the table cleaned the barmaide comes over to the table and once more speaks to Sly and the group now, "Thank you all for excepting to help me out. I can't leave this job here or my new home right now but I hate for my mother to worry more about me. I owe all of you, I'm sure some reward will come to all of you for helping me."
Shiraz (Wade) Thursday December 18th, 2003 10:29:07 PM
Shiraz looks over at the young lady serving them, "We thank you but really, we are delivering a ring and we are headed that way, why is a reward neccessary?"
Savin Thursday December 18th, 2003 10:40:31 PM
Savin stands up and says, "We should be on our way. Barnum, It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope to see you on our journeys." Savin says this in a rather loud voice and gives a wink to Edgar.
He then adds, "Are we going to divide our winnings? Are we going to buy some group healing magic? We need to decide before we get on the road."
Ilsidur Friday December 19th, 2003 12:05:33 AM
Ilsidur waits to hear what the party says about his purchasing healing, before he leaves. "I guess if some of you want to keep your share of the prize money, you can. I will take whatever is left over to the Catacombs. Peerimus, I plan to purchase at least two wands, assuming I have enough money; one for you and one for me to carry."
[OOC: Please post your responses in your next post, so I will know how much money I can take to the Catacombs.]
Sly Foxx(Ceil) Friday December 19th, 2003 2:49:22 AM
Sly smiles toward Shiraz, "Some people think that just because we will be doing them a favor and to a wizard much like my mother, that we will want a reward. It is just a ring to ease a mother's mind, we don't have to take any reward from the lady."
To Barnum and Victor, "it was a great joy to have you along, I hope we meet again soon. My halfling Friend, May the wind always be at your back."
Sly takes out the bag of gold coins and places it on the table, "Ilsidur my friend, here is what is left. I have given Niobe her share of 2,000gp, and Barnum has not yet taken his share, he has 2,000gp coming to him. So right now in that pouch is 14,000gp. Another thing is that I cannot find Uther any where. But I did find the Ferret Statue this morning right next to me, with the bigest smile on his face.
To Niobe Sly ask, "Beautiful Niobe, we are thinking to go up north of here to Heranmar, back where the Children of Chaos started. And the bell first rang. On the way we will be doing a little favor for the young barmaid. Want to come along? we can travel on the Elven Highway or take the old Traders Road? I'm ready to go any time when every body's ready.? You know guy, it's been a long time since we had the pleasure of a beautiful female in our mist." Sly whispers into Niobe ear "We already know what your talent and trade are, your still welcome, Just don't do it among the mates here, deal??" Then Sly kisses her on the cheek.
Barnum and Edgar Friday December 19th, 2003 9:32:28 AM
Barnum rubs his tummy happily after finishing his meal, "Thank you for the offer Shiraz, but it's nothing that I would need assistance in. I just have to visit a friend in a village a little ways from here and help him out with something."
"Savin, I do indeed believe that we'll meet again. And Sly, use my share of the money for the group's benefit, having Edgar returned was all the reward I needed."
"All right, Children of Chaos, I'm off. Come along, Edgar." The two leave the tavern, and when they are outside, you can see through the window that Barnum takes some kind of wooden figurine out of his pouch. When he tosses it to the ground, it turns into a pony-sized fly, and he flies off on it.
Savin Friday December 19th, 2003 10:17:21 AM
"I agree that my share be used to buy some healing magic." He will stand up and walk around to where Shiraz is sitting,and place both hands on each of the minotaur's massive shoulders. "Not everyone can be as nimble and quick as I can. Some of us are more clumsy and get hit more often. My master said we have to be forgiving of others cluminess when they have a good heart. So lets get some healing magic and keep these good hearts beating." He will pat Shiraz on the shoulder's and then jump back in anticipation of the blow to follow.
He will then add, "We might want to suppliment the wands with some curing potions. Some might be seperated from Ilsidur and Peerimus but still need healing. Why don't you buy 2 potions of healing for each member."
Justin Webber (DM) Healing talk Friday December 19th, 2003 1:32:29 PM
The barmaide pats Sly's shoulder and winks to the group, "I always thought people wanted a reward for their work. I was wrong and thank you all, please come back here some day so I can thank you again."
With this said the barmaide leaves you all be now and goes back to her job while you discuss healing potions, wands and the likes.
(OOC:I plan to have you all started out to Heranmar Monday. Just a heads up. Also everyone please make a note at the bottom of your posts if you can continue posting through Christmas and New Years or if we should find a place to stop for abit.)
Sly Foxx and Luke Saturday December 20th, 2003 9:22:57 AM
Sly check every thing, fixes every thing that is broken, and buys trail rations for the up comming trip. Even a little extra for Luke.
OOC: Dear DM. If You post, So will I. I'm not going any where on both Holidays.
Niobe Saturday December 20th, 2003 3:44:41 PM
Niobe smiles, "I will be honored and glad to accompany you all to Heranmar; though I have never been there myself. I know of a few of the Trade roads, but have only heard rumors of the Highways. My mother never bothered to teach me anything about those; coster caravans never use them anyway." She looks down at her haversack, "I am ready to leave here whenever it is convenient for everyone else." Niobe turns her head slightly towards Sly after he kisses her on the cheek. She whispers back (sounding very sincere), "no fear of that; I never steal from friends or from those who cannot already afford it..." She grins. "Oh, by the way I also have a wand of healing that I can usually get to work. I don't mind helping out with healing when I can. Also I don't mind using part of what I was given to pick up a second wand of healing and some potions, just in case. So that would be three of us with a means of healing handy," Niobe announces to the group. Niobe will hand Ilsidur enough gold (850 gp)to purchase a wand of cure light wounds and two potions of cure light wounds from the 2,000 gp that Sly had given her the day before.
((OOC: I can; and will gladly, post throughout the holidays. I am going nowhere. If anyone wishes for a substitute to post for them during the holidays just email me or IM me at eunice@doucet-lorang.com or KanchanaVuai, I will be happy to step in. If any of you have AIM then feel free to add me to your list!)) ((OOC II: I am very sorry for missing a posting... I worked day shift and then afternoon/evening shift back to back and could not get to a computer with internet access!))
Peerimus Sunday December 21st, 2003 3:10:18 PM
Peerimus nods to the barmaid at the next morning meal. "True heroes and mere adventurers are often confused dear lady, think nothing of it."
As Ilsidur heads for the catacombs, the druid and Yorrick quickly follow. "Mind the company? Not that I will be of much assistance in such a place, master dwarf, but I thought who better to learn from?"
Assuming Ilsidur has no problem, he happily walks beside him, Yorrick just behind by about 5 feet.
(OoC...I can post with consistency through the holidays)
Ilsidur Sunday December 21st, 2003 5:40:08 PM
Ilsidur looks up at Peerimus, and up even farther are Yorrick, and smiles. "I would be glad to have your company on this 'shopping trip'. Although, I am not sure how Yorrick will fare. I have only been there a couple of times, but I don't remember any huge creatures like him around, unless you count the taurs that show up from time to time to buy stuff. I plan to buy a couple of cure serious wounds wands, likely with about 25 charges each, as well as some cure moderate wounds and cure serious wounds potions. It appears that we have about 15,000 gp to spend in total."
Ilsidur approaches the bartender, and asks, "Can you give me directions to the nearest entrance to a very special store, called the Catacombs?" Assuming he gets directions, Ilsidur heads out with Peerimus (and maybe Yorrick) to the store entrance.
[OOC: I, too, can post throughout the holidays. I am staying home, with family coming here this year.]
Savin Sunday December 21st, 2003 11:56:39 PM
Savin sighs as he watches the group disperse. "Hey Shiraz? Saw that you got a workout in this morning. I haven't yet. Are you up for some sparring? Need to practice my jump kicks."
Savin will then go outside and start doing some forms. If Shiraz follows, so much the better.
OOC no problem for me over the holidays.
Shiraz Monday December 22nd, 2003 12:19:25 AM
Shiraz looks over at Ilsidur and smiles,"Please use what you need for healing spells and potions, anything else can be donated to the party funds."
OOC: I will not be able to post regularly I will be working and visiting relatives this week.
Justin Webber (DM) Mornings and moving Monday December 22nd, 2003 12:58:28 PM
The group having decided to go to where the chaos bell rang, gets ready to head out. It has started to head towards noon and everyone prepares to set out and some head off to shop for items that will be needed in their travels.
(OOC:Moving this alittle slow. Tomorrow I will have you all set out for sure so I hope no one minds this going slow for the moment. Thanks and in advance, Happy Holidays!)
Sly Foxx Monday December 22nd, 2003 5:58:33 PM
Sly put all is back pack, bow, shield,rod and bed roll. walks over to Niobe, "That was a nice breakfast. I need a little walk and so does Luke. Want to come along and I'll tell you of a yound Thief Oh! about 12 or 13 years old, named Pip Goodfield. He was a fine friend." If Niobe says Yes the Sly, Niobe and Luke, will walk by the river as Sly tell her about the little thief friend of theirs.
Niobe Monday December 22nd, 2003 7:20:54 PM
Niobe stands up and then picks up her gear, shouldering her haversack and slinging her quiver across her back as well. She grins "I would love to take a walk." She will follow Sly and Luke out to the river. And will then say; "Hmm... I always thought that thieves were rare around here. I see I was wrong!" She laughs and then listens to Sly's story about Pip Goodfield. When he finishes Niobe will ask politely about the Elven Highways.
((OOC: Ilsidur... are you going to take the 850gp I had Niobe hand you and get a wand of Cure Light Wounds and 2 ptions of CWL for her at the Catacombs? Otherwise I can have Niobe go and get that herself, so you don't have the trouble!)) ;)
Ilsidur Monday December 22nd, 2003 8:22:27 PM
Ilsidur and Peerimus head off to the Catacombs, with 14,000 gp to spend.
[OOC: Niobe, I planned to buy cure serious wounds wands, since I didn't think that cure light wounds would be enough. I expect that the kind of foes that we will run into will be doing way more damage per round than what a CLW can fix. So, if you don't want to contribute to the party funds for this, I suggest you take the 2,000 gp and buy what you think your character will need. Just realize, that in the past, the foes that we fought did 15-30 hp damage each round; thus the need for higher-level healing items.]
Shiraz Monday December 22nd, 2003 10:00:34 PM
Shiraz quietly rinses off the sweat from his morning workouts and packs his bag, his fingers running alongside the book resting on the bottom as he efficiently packs his backpack and dons his armor. Smiling at Sly and Niobe Shiraz hangs his animated shield on his back and follows the two discreetly towards the river.
Savin Monday December 22nd, 2003 10:54:05 PM
Savin will dart ahead and then run back, and then dart ahead, and then run back. After this routine is repeated around 15 times he will say, "Do you guys have to walk this slow?"
Sly Foxx and Luke Tuesday December 23rd, 2003 6:06:47 AM
Sly smiles at Savin's comment, "Savin! I think I know of some one who can keep up with you, even bet you!" Sly look down to Luke, "Are you ready Boy! Want a good run? Then run with Savin, Go! Luke beat him Go!" Looking at the both of then run, "They are both happy now, look at them go."
They walk on "When we get all together, We'll will decide and vote on how we will travel. I hope they choose the Elven Highway, It's quite a sight to see, You and Woody will have to stay close to us because you two don't have the Holly pin (at this point Sly shows Nobe the little holly pin on his collar) This was given to us by an old King on his way to his Funeral. Now we (who has the Holly leaf, can travel the Elven Highway any where on this continent."
Savin Tuesday December 23rd, 2003 10:41:31 AM
Savin smiles down at Luke and says, "So you want to race huh?" Savin looks around and spies a tree around 1/4 of a mile away. "See that tree Luke, I will race you to it. If you win, I will buy you a steak at the next inn we come too. If I win, you have to relieve yourself on Ilsidur's boots tonight."
Savin will stand up and say "Ready? Lets go!"
He will take off at incredible speeds (base 50) and try to reach the tree first by fully sprinting the entire way.
Ilsidur Tuesday December 23rd, 2003 11:10:17 AM
Lucky for Savin, Ilsidur has already departed for the Catacombs.
Justin Webber (DM) Relaxing before moving Tuesday December 23rd, 2003 2:20:49 PM
The group goes about their buisness and Niobe and Sly go for a walk to talk and relax.
A small race breaks between Savin and Luke also which is a nice spectacle for people to see.
(A dog's base speed is 40)
Ilsidur Wednesday December 24th, 2003 12:01:51 AM
Ilsidur waits at the Catacombs to be served.
Niobe d20+5=11 Wednesday December 24th, 2003 2:19:28 AM
Niobe watches Savin and Luke race off. Then Niobe takes a good look at the Holly pin. "I have never seen such a pin before, but then I haven't had all that much to do with the Elven folk really." She looks ahead down the path and dredges her memory for some local knowledge of the caravan routes. "I don't really remember much about any caravan routes to Heranmar." Niobe shrugs. "So you all have traveled the Elven Highways often I suppose?" She continues the walk at a leisurely pace.
(Knowledge: Local 11)
Sly Foxx Wednesday December 24th, 2003 5:55:08 AM
"Well! Not that often, you see the Dwarf and the Halflings are small, but we could not be this good if this party was not very talented. In other words Ilsidor, Barmum and Shiraz the Minotaur do not like hights and the highway are up there above the tree tops. Don't look up you woun't be able to see them."
Sly bends and picks a flower and gives it to Niobe, "Happy Feast Day"
Luke (ceil) Wednesday December 24th, 2003 6:08:58 AM
Luke is running almost as fast as he can, he's keeping up with Savin, and not breathing hard.
Justin Webber (DM) Special appearance Wednesday December 24th, 2003 1:59:26 PM
As Niobe and Sly is on their walk and after Savin races Luke they each see a sudden supirse.
Skipping towards them is a rather heavy set halfling where red clothes and hat on his head and a beard hangs neatly trimmed on his face. The halfling has a great twinkle in his ice blue eyes and his face seems to be stuck in a perfect smile that show his white teeth. As he skips up to Savin he pulls a bag from a pocket in his red suit and grins, "Hello there, I have a suprise for you."
The halfling pulls out a small package and hands it to Savin and also pulls a large stake worth 100gps and tosses it to Luke before skipping off to Niobe and Sly, "Greetings you to gentle people, I have something for you also." The gnome pulls out a pair of small gifts similar to Savin's and hands them to Niobe and Sly.
Afterwards the gnome skips into the town and finds the rest of the group, handing them out a present and giving the groups animals a present of food. He also spends time giving gifts to the normal people before skipping on his way from town, seeming to happy to care how far he travels.
(OOC: Yes everyone. A simple relaxation post for X-mas Eve. Also Eunice please make a note that our currently gone player got a gift also and remind me when he gets back please.)
Peerimus Wednesday December 24th, 2003 2:31:32 PM
Peerimus and Yorrick slide into the Catacombs with Ilsidur and stay close behind the dwarf. Shortly after entering Ilsidur feels Peerimu's hand squeezing his shoulder. "Forgot how close the quarters are in here."
Sly Foxx and Luke Wednesday December 24th, 2003 2:33:53 PM
Sly just stands there, stairing at this funny Elf like being, With his mouth open. He manages to say a feeble "Thank-you eerrr What is your name??" but the happy elf goes on his merry way.
Niobe Wednesday December 24th, 2003 3:49:33 PM
Niobe smiles brightly at the Halfling and bows slightly to show her thanks. "Thank you Little Father for the gift. Have a joyous Midwinter Feast!" She holds the gift in her hand, and will wait with opening it until a little later. Niobe gives Sly a hug and then a kiss on each cheek, "Joyous Midwinter Feast to you." She will repeat this "ritual" with each party member that will let her.
((Merry Christmas everyone!))
Savin Wednesday December 24th, 2003 11:44:14 PM
Savin thanks the funny little man. He will study his gift with awe in his eyes. He will gratefully accept Niobe kiss.
Merry Christmas all!
Sly Foxx and Luke Thursday December 25th, 2003 8:00:05 AM
Sly sit on the ground, touching his cheek (where Niobe had kissed him), then slowly he opens the gift. He look into the box "Oh! Thank you just what I wanted."
He show it to Luke, "Look! Luke!" But the dog just chews on his great big stake.
Merry Christmas to you All.
Justin Webber (DM) Presents Thursday December 25th, 2003 1:03:58 PM
When everyone opens their present they find within it a silver dagger in great shape (not masterwork) and a potion thats labeled mage armor. Also within the package is a note saying "Enjoy your present."
The towns people seem to be having a ball as they open their presents given to them by the funny gnome and some of the orphans and people down on luck andm oney cheer as they find either food, small amounts of money or other goodies.
(OOC:Merry Christmas everyone and may everyone have a great New Year. Enjoy the presents!)
Niobe Thursday December 25th, 2003 4:15:27 PM
Niobe opens her gift after she has made her rounds to every remaining party member wishing them all a joyous Mid-Winter Feast. She admires the high quality silver dagger and takes a look at the potion. Niobe puts the potion into her haversack and slides the sheathed dagger onto her belt. She grins at Sly's reaction to her kiss on the cheek. "I would have brought gifts, but I had forgotten completely about mid-winter," Niobe says with a tiny hint of embarrassment. She almost chuckles as she says, "also I wouldn't know what to give everyone." She smiles just a little.
((OOC: Have a continued Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year everyone!))
Sly Foxx and Luke Friday December 26th, 2003 8:24:07 AM
Sly is suprised to find a silver dagger. The sun gleem as it's beam strikes the knife. He puts the knife away in it's sheet. Sly is about to fold the box, when he spot the vile labled Mage Armor. "Oh! I can really use these. Thank-you" But the dwarf is already gone into the village.
Luke is still chewing on that stake.
Teleheri (PH) Friday December 26th, 2003 9:17:29 AM
As everyone is opening their presents, everyone notice that Teleheri wasnt around you all for a long time, and only now you have notice it.
When you start asking each one where has he gone, a horse start approaching, with Woody riding it.
"Whoa! Hold Cenobite. Hi Children of Chaos. Im Sorry that i disappeared this way, but i had an urgent thing to do in this city, and thanks to your help i arrived here at time."
"So, we are heading to Herenmar right? Great! When will we depart? And where is Ilsidur, that nice Dwarf?"
As Woody listen about Ilsidur heading to the catacombs he say: "Ill go there than and help with the little money i have to buy these stuff. Guys, i still have some business to do here, so, if i dont catch you all before the departure, tell me the road you will take, and i will meet you in the way."
Woody ride in the direction of the catacombs, and as he get there he looks for Ilsidur and hand him 450gp (sorry guys,, its all i have.)
[OCC: Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! I missed a lot of post! im really sorry. Its becaus my mother started to paint my room, and i was without computer these days, (and since i am without time to use university computers, i wasnt able to post). About the holydays, i wont be able to post. I am travelling today to the beach, and ill be back only on 5th January. Sorry. I dont know how will it work, but i guess "Niobe" may control my character, since she siad she could do it. Niobe, im sending you my characther sheet by mail. Merry christhmas (late) and happy new year for you all!]
Justin Webber (DM) No new news is good news Friday December 26th, 2003 2:01:25 PM
The group continues to go about their stuff while waiting for the group to get done at the catacombs. The people have slowly began their normal days work after the gnome had left and the town seems to be in it's normal swing of things now.
Sly Foxx and Luke Saturday December 27th, 2003 8:58:00 AM
He watches the children in the vally playing with some new toys they just gotten. He turn to Niobe "Nice to be young. You know I don't remember how it was to be young??"
Sly turns and head for the tavern, "Got to get ready"
Ilsidur Saturday December 27th, 2003 12:29:22 PM
On his way to the Catacombs, Ilsidur thanks the halfling for the gift, and then carefully opens it. He smiles at the silver dagger, and the mage armour potion. "I think that Savin should be able to use this potion much better than I can," he thinks to himself, as he taps his adamantine plate armour for luck.
Savin d20+7=21 Saturday December 27th, 2003 11:28:35 PM
Savin will find a drygoods store and stock up on some spices for his cooking kit. He will also pick up some new clothes as his are starting to get a little ratty.
After that, he will start to do some juggling for some of the local children and try and teach them a song. (Perform 21)
Niobe Sunday December 28th, 2003 10:17:23 AM
Niobe is frankly surprised to hear what Sly said about not remembering about being young. She didn't think that he was that old, but then most people don't even remember their childhood that well even at middle-age... Niobe grins, "well I will be here then. I have everything in order as far as I know." She will sit by the river making different cats-cradles from a long piece of string while she waits.
Teleheri (ADM Eunice) Sunday December 28th, 2003 10:20:59 AM
Woody will try to catch up to Ilsidur and give him the gold. After that he will patiently listen to the directions given to Heranmar and then go and take care of any further business in town. He rides back into town.
Sly Foxx and Luke Monday December 29th, 2003 1:43:48 PM
Sly look at Luke and scraches him behind the ear. "Tell me Luke, do you remember when you were a pup??"
Luke answers"No!"
Sly mouth drops open, "Yyyouu Talk?? You did it again, You Talk!!" Sly look around for Peerimus, "Peerimus! You woun't believe this, BUT! Come here! Please!"
Justin Webber (DM) Moving along Monday December 29th, 2003 1:50:35 PM
Sly gets a rather big suprise as Luke talks and tries to show people.
After a while the sun has began to show it to be around noon and the people still are hard at work and play.
(OOC:You all can start to move out today to head to the city mentioned earlier or wait. Either way we need to start to head out soon.)
Peerimus Monday December 29th, 2003 1:50:54 PM
The druid thanks the halfling and opens the gift box. His head turns slightly to the side as he takes in the dagger and potion. With the halfling already gone he merely thanks his direction again.
A smile hits his lips at Ilsidur observation on the mage armor potion. "To true my friend, though a gift is a gift."
Sly Foxx and Luke Monday December 29th, 2003 2:24:30 PM
Sly picks up his back pack, His Ice rod, his shield and all the rest of his stuff. "Preemus would you walk with me for a little while, I need to ask you a favor."
Sly and Peerimus will walk a way down the road and into town." As the both of them walk side by side, Sly relates about the battle of the Dryad and her evil Tree, How a spiret entered the body of Luke, and how fercly luke fought in that circle. "But I never saw that spirte leave Luke's body." Sly relates, "Can you cast a spell and find out if Luke is still posesed?? If not then Luke has been given a gift of Awaken. Can you make sure??"
Niobe Monday December 29th, 2003 10:21:44 PM
Niobe will remain waiting by the river and alternately watching the road out of town and continuing to make new cats-cradles. She will stay put until everyone is finished with whatever they are doing here and decide to move on towards Heranmar. If everyone else is heading back into town then she will too; even if she doesn't have any business left to attend to.
Teleheri (ADM Eunice) Monday December 29th, 2003 10:28:54 PM
Teleheri takes care of any remaining business he has in town. He hopes to be done in time to leave with the others for Heranmar.
Savin Monday December 29th, 2003 11:25:49 PM
Savin catches up with the main group and says, "When are we gonna get going? Feel like we have been hanging around here for ever."
He drops and starts doing pushups and situps.
Sly Foxx and Luke Tuesday December 30th, 2003 8:32:31 AM
"Savin! What do you think I have on my back? I don't know about you, but I'm heading down this road that will lead us to Heranmar. Now please go get you posesions, tell the others that I'm almost at the gates of Heranmar Now!" Sly points to the roads and village.
Luke tells Sly "Now that's not nice!" Sly look down at Luke in suprize??
Justin Webber (DM) On the road Tuesday December 30th, 2003 1:32:37 PM
After gathering your stuff and bidding a quick goodbye to the city your at you slowly leave the city and begin traveling the road towards Heranmar. It is still around noon as you set out and the sun is warm on your backs as you travel the road.
You see nothing of mention as you travel except a rabbit or two that Luke chases after before coming back. The time seems to pass by slowly and to your suprise the heat seems to be getting worse as the day goes on. It's not so hot as to make someone faint but enough to make traveling just alittle uncomfortable. In the distance you can see some dark cloud gathering.
Sly Foxx and Luke d20+5=21 Tuesday December 30th, 2003 6:38:34 PM
OOC; Spot 21.
Sly walk along, watching Luke as he's playing with chasing rabits and squerril. But he getting hotter and more uncontable. "Look to the horison There a storm comming, got to seek shelter, All I have is a pup tenth?" Sly looks around for shelter some where, any where??
Ilsidur Tuesday December 30th, 2003 11:23:56 PM
Ilsidur hustles along to catch up with the party, thinking to himself, "Lucky I've got these boots; otherwise, I would never be able to keep up."
When he catches up with the rest of the group, he says, "I think my trip to the Catacombs was successful. I was able to purchase 9 potions that are able to cure moderate-level wounds, and two wands that have 25 charges each, that are able to cure more serious wounds, one such spell for each charge used. I suggest that we each take one potion, and Shiraz can have two, since he is the most likely to get damaged in combat. And I suggest Peerimus and I each take one of the wands. If anyone has a problem with this suggestion, then let me know and we can discuss another division."
Peerimus d20+16=21 d20+19=38 Wednesday December 31st, 2003 12:24:59 AM
Peerimus stows the wand and potion from the catacombs visit with Ilsidur and hurries withthe dwarf to catch up.
As the group walks down the road, Sly asks Peerimus about Luke. "I assumed we were again being helped by the great stag, but if he's still talking, something else must also have transpired. I do not know the 'Awakening' ritual Sly, but I will talk to Luke this evening with Yorrick and see if some answers may be found."
The increasing temperatures does not seem to bother or slow Yorrick or Peerimus, the Endure elements fire spell shared at breakfast keeping both comfortable. AS the clouds on the horizon darken and the weather more oppressive, he takes time to survey his surroundings most closely for signs of what may be coming and how best to prepare himself and his freinds.
"We should break now and find some shelter. The approaching storm could get dangerous."
[Know nature 21 Survival 38]
Savin Wednesday December 31st, 2003 7:25:27 AM
Savin shoulders his pack and takes his tongue lashing from Sly with a grimace..."Sorry" he mumbles.
He gratefully accepts his potion of curing and then beckons Luke over. "Remember you lost that race. Remember what you have to do tonight." He glances meaningfully at the dwarf's boots
Niobe d20+7=13 Wednesday December 31st, 2003 7:40:24 AM
Niobe quickly follows the others on the road out of town. She was enjoying the walk until the temperature became uncomfortably hot. Niobe opens her top a bit more and fans herself with one hand occasionally. She watches the storm clouds gathering on the horizon. "Well that storm building on the horizon should take care of the heat at least." Niobe does her best to help look for some shelter for everyone in case the storm does get really bad.
(Survival 13)
Teleheri (ADM Eunice) Wednesday December 31st, 2003 7:43:35 AM
Teleheri has his horse Cenobite gallop for a little bit to catch up with the rest of the party on the way to Heranmar.
Justin Webber (DM) Shelter for the night Wednesday December 31st, 2003 3:52:18 PM
As the group sees the coming storm they start to hunt for shelter from it. It takes some time but finally find a small area with trees that the branches and leaves will block off some of the rain that will come. This is the only suitable area for setting up camp in the area.
Peerimus can tell that the upcoming storm will be pretty nasty all and all.
It's not long after you find the spot that the wind picksup pretty bad and the smaller of the trees in the camp site sway abit in the wind. There is still of yet very little wildlife noise which you figure is from animals seeking shelter also. JUst as the rain start pounding down hard and rather fast and deep rumbling starts in the sky you see a long traveler heading in the same direction you were traveling.
The traveler you see wears a dark gray cloak which is pulled tight around him from the blowing wind and rain and the hood is up to cover his head. The man has a single mace that can be seen at his waist but otherwise very little can be made out from the distance he is at. He does seem to be mumbling to himself about the stupid storm and at all times to be traveling.
Niobe Wednesday December 31st, 2003 7:19:44 PM
Niobe settles in under the tree. She watches the stranger and then watches the rain pouring down. She thinks about something briefly and then says, "I hope you gentlemen don't mind, but we can't let someone stay out in that nasty weather like that. I am going to hail him; he can have my spot." Niobe makes a sharp, loud whistle sound to catch the strangers attention and then calls out, "Hey you Sir! You can stay here for the worst of the storm!"
((I don't remember if I already said this or not! Happy New Year everybody!))
Sly Foxx and Luke Thursday January 1st, 2004 5:46:57 AM
Sly dig into his backpack fo stakes and rope. He takes the pop tent and open it to look like a big square tarp, He peg the stakes down then ties the rope to the stake (leaving about 6 inches clearance on the bottom, so the wind won't pull up the stakes). Now he ties the other end of the tarp to tree (on each side of the tarp) Making a shelter of 12ftX12ft sloping to keep the rain and wind off the party. this will extend the aria making it a little larger.
"Keep the stranger warm and dry, while I go looking for a special tree entrance. I'm hoping to get above the tree line and out of the rain. But i have to find the big tree first." Sly turns to Luke "Luke want to come along and get wet??" Sly turns, walk away puting his cape on. He feel this tree and that tree with Luke on his heels.
Happy New Year to all!
Peerimus and Yorrick Thursday January 1st, 2004 1:23:09 PM
The great bear hunkers down under the trees and digs in slightly against the trunk of a large tree to put it between him and the coming storm.
Peerimus helps him settle and then stands with a look of excitement as if to move off, when a great paw catches him. Turning back "I know Yorrick, the spell will fade. But heat is no longer a concern and I should greet him." He finishes pointing into the storm at the stranger.
With that, Peerimus casually walks out from the tree cover leaving his club and shield behind caling loudly to the man. "Glorious storm is it not? I have some freinds sheltering nearby if you wish"
All the while, he continues walking and smiling.
Savin d20+11=25 Thursday January 1st, 2004 8:09:54 PM
Savin is happy that he friends are so trusting and open. It takes a generous heart to allow a stranger to share your fire. He remembers his master's lectures on being willing to open your heart to others. He also remembers his master telling him to be cautious in unknown situations and moves off into the undergrowth where he can hear what is being said but not seen.
Hide = 25
Ilsidur d20+9=20 Friday January 2nd, 2004 1:00:35 AM
Ilsidur walks around the edge of the clearing, gathering fallen wood for a fire. He tries to start a small fire, to warm up the night a bit. [OOC: Survival roll of 20].
When Niobe and Peerimus call out to the traveller, Ilsidur waits with his hand on his waraxe, just in case.
Barnum and Edgar Friday January 2nd, 2004 1:19:03 PM
Barnum Berrybrawn, his beautiful cloak and clothes drenched from the rain, sneaks up behind the Children of Chaos as quietely as a Halfling could. They all appear to be looking the other way, towards Niobe and Peerimus talking to someone else. Barnum sets his pack down and Edgar hops over by the fire. Barnum finally says nonchalantly, "So... What are you guys looking at?"
OOC: Back! And happy New Year to all of you!
Justin Webber (DM) Stranger in the rain Friday January 2nd, 2004 2:55:02 PM
The stranger starts at Niobe's call and the mace appears instantly in his hand before he puts it away seeing not threat in the young lady, "Greetings kind lass and thank you for the invitation."
The stranger walks over towards where the group is, his walk graceful and he seems to be in no real hurry as he moves. After getting into the sheltered spot and shaking his soaked cloak off abit the man drops the hood to show a pure brown hair and it's long, tied into a pony tail. After looking at those here he slowly sits down, "Well, thanks for the offer. I'm very grateful for this. I think the dear spirits of this place just don't like me at all."
The man fishes a small book out of his inside cloack pocket along with a pen which looks mahical. He jots some stuff in the book before looking up, "Ohhh dear me, my manners have surely left me. My name is Grinder, a wanderer and was noble man but I have chose to wander the Wold and gain knowledge and stuff."
Grinder looks out at the storm and sighs, "Forgive my super stitions here but seems evil spirits follow me whereever I go..darn things, one day I'll have a bell."
Sly Foxx and Luke Friday January 2nd, 2004 5:45:36 PM
Sly comes back to the camp fire, and stands right behind Barmum, "Welcome back Friend!" then look up to see a stranger sitting near Niobe. Sly Walk over to the stranger and extend his hand in welcome, "Welcome to our humble camp fire. My name is Sly Foxx and here is Luke my faithful dog and the rest of these assorted people are my friends, Yes! you to Shiraz my Minotaur Friend." Sly tell the group that he could not find an entrance to the Elven Highway.
Ilsidur Saturday January 3rd, 2004 12:15:20 AM
"Knowledge and 'stuff', is it? My name is Ilsidur Wayfinder, a cleric of the Gods of the Wold. You mention a bell; can you tell us more about this bell? We have some information that may be able to help you."
While he listens to the traveller's story, he continues to gather wood for the fire, setting it near the fire so that it can dry out.
Sly Foxx and Luke Saturday January 3rd, 2004 7:54:42 AM
"What bell?? Ilsidor, The Bell of Chaos??" ask Sly as he takes off the glove of his hand and shows the Tattoo ( OF A broken pinwheel and the color is blood red) This one?? It seem to be growing a darker red, Does it not?" He show every body the tattoo.
Barnum and Edgar Saturday January 3rd, 2004 8:28:07 PM
"Funny... I never realized that you had a tatoo, Sly. What's this Bell of Chaos I keep hearing about anyway?" Barnum takes a pot of water and casts Prestidigitation on it, warming it, coloring it, and flavoring it. "Hot cocoa, anyone?"
In the meantime, Edgar has fallen asleep next to the fire. It's been a long day of flying for the bird.
Niobe Sunday January 4th, 2004 7:28:33 AM
"Welcome back Barnum! Greetings Grinder, are you a bard or a scholar?" Niobe says genially. After greeting Barnum and Grinder Niobe sits quietly and listens to what Grinder is saying. She also pays attention to what is being said about bells. Niobe takes the wooden cup off of her belt and and extends it towards Barnum, "Yes please, I would love some hot cocoa Barnum."
Teleheri (ADM Eunice) Sunday January 4th, 2004 7:33:33 AM
Teleheri dries his horse with a soft towel and then brushes him. Before joining the others in the nearby shelter he tethers Cenobite to the tree he is standing under. Teleheri puts a feedbag full of oats onto Cenobite so the horse can have dinner. Teleheri greets barnum and the stranger.
Justin Webber (DM) Talking Sunday January 4th, 2004 12:04:29 PM
Grinder nods to each person and smiles, "Hello all and the bell I speak about isj ust a simple bell actually. In my travels I heard that a bell will dispell evil spirits."
Grinder shrugs as he lets his simple comment sink in and continues, "I'm a simple scholar really and enjoy finding knowledge. You see in the area of elves I heard about the bell dispelling spirits, forgive me for I do not know the name of the place right off. It's in my book though if it's important."
Grinder does close his small book and puts it away, "I hope you all do not mind but I keep a record of everything I see or meet so you all are now in my book." Grinder leans foreward and looks at the tattoo and whistles as he studies it, "Wow, such workmanship and detail. I have seen no tattoos like it."
Outside the storm continues raging on and you get the feeling that it may not let up for sometime. Grinder has finally dried some and is relaxing well though as the day wares into night.
Ilsidur Sunday January 4th, 2004 1:47:32 PM
The dwarf cleric listens to the conversation, and frowns at the young elf's revealing of the Bell tattoos. He thinks to himself, "Impetuous Sly, we shouldn't be waving these tattos around, certainly not until we know more about travellers like this Grinder. What if he is a spy or an assassin, sent to find us?"
While helping to prepare the food, Ilsidur says a simple blessing, then carries on to cast a detect magic spell (as if part of the blessing), focussing on the traveller.
Niobe Sunday January 4th, 2004 3:55:26 PM
Niobe sits and waches the weather wondering if it will have let up by sunrise.
Teleheri (ADM Eunice) Sunday January 4th, 2004 3:59:25 PM
"So did the Elves say where this bell could be found?" Teleheri asks Grinder politely. He will wait a little bit for Grinder's answer and then go and check on Cenobite and remove the feedbag if the horse is done eating.
Sly Foxx and Luke Sunday January 4th, 2004 5:58:26 PM
Sly replies to his friend the dwarf, "Ilsidure, you are more than a farther to me, than Sir Thomas ever was. It is good to have such friends." Sly still showing his tattoo, "You see when I was leaving to see if I could find an entrance to the elven hightway. I saw his reaction to Niobe call to him, he had a mace in his hand but it soon disappered. Sir I was knocking on the door of a monestary, doing these five witches a favor, when a bell rang. When next we meet the five witches again. that's when these tattoos appered. This Tattoo is both a curse and a great blessing. When we hear the Bell of Chaos, we know that the Dark King is doing his worse somewhere. That's why we are call the Children of Chaos, we go and restore order again." Sky Turns asking Ilsidure, "I see you made trail stew?? I'm hungry Lets eat."
Luke come over as if to say ME TOO
Barnum Berrybrawn Sunday January 4th, 2004 8:17:30 PM
Barnum carefully pours Niobe a cup of cocoa, then himself, then anyone else who wants any. "Well, Mr. Grinder, you're not the only one traveling this area in search of knowledge, that's what I'm here for too. You wouldn't, by chance, have anything at all written down about sorcerors in that book of yours, would you?"
Barnum listens intently to Sly's story about the Chaos Bell. He thinks to himself for a moment, "Dark King...? That doesn't sound good at all! Should I really be traveling with these people?"
Justin Webber (DM) Stranger Monday January 5th, 2004 2:22:37 PM
Ilsidur spell finds only that Grinder's mace and the holy symbol which can be seen if someone does a spot check:16.
Grinder looks to everyone and shrugs, "I have ran into a few magic users in my travels but very little to note really. I fear that the elves said little on the bell bit, it was just a story I guess you would say of how a bell can dispell evil spirits and if you ever are confronted with evil spirits then you should ring one."
Grinder points out at the weather, "The weather has been kind of like this since I started traveling hunting for a group of people. Something about chaos children." Grinder shrugs, "I wanted to hear their story and see about the travels they must of been through and why fate calls them this, but also in my search I seek a bell that may end the evil spirits that must be following my since these storms and bad weather just seem to follow since hearing of these people."
Grinder looks to the stew and nods, "That is very nice I hope you will not mind sharing with me." Grinder pulls out a simple but delicate worked copper bowl and matching spoon and also a cup that is made of worked copper. The design on the bowl, spoon and cup are of elven craftsmanship. Grinder smiles and motions to the items he plans to use to eat and drink from, "These were given to me by the elves, they also gave me some elven wine but I have drank most of it. I would not mind sharing whats left with all of you."
Savin Monday January 5th, 2004 4:32:24 PM
Savin listens to the priest tell of his adventures and is surprised when he mentions the children of chaos. He decides that he should come in out of the rain and does so.
He will glide into the camp and say, "Hello. Sorry if I startled you but you always have to be on your guard these days. Strange things always seem to happen to us and I try to be prepared."
He will pour take Grinder's bowl and fill it for him. As he hands it back, he will say, "My name is Savin and this is your lucky day. You are with the Children of Chaos now. How can we be of service?"
Savin will get his own cup of cocoa and gets his own bowl of stew. He takes a taste, grimaces and opens his pack. He will add some fresh basil and oregano to the mixture and add some to the pot as well.
Sly Foxx and Luke Monday January 5th, 2004 6:00:59 PM
Sly takes abowl Of stew for himself and a bowl for Luke, they both sit on a dry spot (if any??). Smiles "Those who have a tattoo are of the Childern Of Chaos, and those who do not have one are just traveling with us. Right now we are going to a town where it rains nearly all year round, So we must be getting close to Heranmar. I must do a favor for a little lass and go see her mother to tell her that her little girl is doing alright. Then I'll show all of you Where the bell was or still is? I don't remember what happen to it. Sir! Your welcome to tag along is you like. Sly finishes his meal, as he's about to go to the spring near by, "Oh! by the way I'll take first watch tonight. If you give me you bowls i'll wash them for you." Sly and Luke head for the spring.
Barnum Berrybrawn d20+2=9 Monday January 5th, 2004 6:24:20 PM
Barnum serves himself some stew, which proves very tastey thanks to Savin's spices. "Storms and bad luck following you since you've been looking for my friends here, eh? I suppose... Something didn't want you to find them. I think we'd better keep our guard up, just in case."
Peerimus Monday January 5th, 2004 7:07:05 PM
The druid remains well away from the shelter for some time as the storm increses about him. Finally he plops down and crosses his legs in the field and stretching his arms wide stares up at the pouring sky and begins chanting loudly.
Upon finishing he sits quietly for several moments before rising and joining the others. He arrives just as Savin informs the newcomer that they are 'The Children of Chaos'.
"Well met friend, I am Peerimus."
Niobe Monday January 5th, 2004 7:15:40 PM
Niobe takes a bowl of stew and eats quickly. She hands her bowl over to Sly when she is finished eating since he offered to do the dishes. "I will take any watch necessary, it doesn't matter which. My name is Niobe, and I am one of those tag-alongs..." She grins.
Ilsidur Monday January 5th, 2004 11:19:47 PM
The dwarf looks surprised as Grinder mentions that he is looking for 'chaos children'. "As my friend Savin has stated, we are the ones known as the Children of Chaos. Why is it that you search for us? What do you know of the bell after which we are named? Why do you think that we can help you, and that this bell can stop these 'evil spirits' that you say are following you? What exactly are these evil spirits; do they only make bad weather?
"I joined the Children shortly after their experience with the Chaos Bell; this young half-elf, Sly, is the only member of our group that was there when the Bell was rung. Maybe he can tell you the story of the ringing."
Teleheri (ADM Eunice) Tuesday January 6th, 2004 11:30:29 AM
Teleheri is a little disappointed that Grinder didn't have much to say about magic and magic users. He doesn't say anything when talk turns to the chaos bell.
Justin Webber (DM) Talks and sleep Tuesday January 6th, 2004 12:57:52 PM
Grinder claps his hands together excited before he eats some, "I wanted to hear all about the bell if you don't mind and what happened when it rang. It would be great stuff for me to write in my journal."
Grinder shrugs at a couple questions, "I don't seek the chaos bell but just a bell that will dispell the spirits. I have tried simple ones but none that will work. The spirits I speak of have only caused minor storms, seem to be telling me to stay away I guess."
After finishing his stew and sipping some of the cocoa he smiles but is clear sleep has worn in, "I fear that I will listen to your stories in the morning though, walking in this down pour out there has made me very tired. I do owe you though so will take one of the watches."
Peerimus Tuesday January 6th, 2004 1:52:07 PM
Peerimus nods as Grinder speaks of the bell he is seeking. "Yes, a spirit bell. An elder in my community kept such a thing on her door. It was said that no spirit could enter her home because the bell rung when the door opened and the spirit was scared by the sound."
"As for the Chaos bell, I have heard it's ring though have never seen it."
Peerimus then falls silent and taking a bowl of soup sits against Yorrick and eats. Once or twice he mumbers to the great bear who in reply merely shifts his bulk.
As the evening begins to wear into night, Peerimus volunteers for the last watch, which will elapse into morining and then falls asleep.
Sly Foxx and Luke Tuesday January 6th, 2004 6:39:44 PM
Sly takes the bed role from his back pack and goes to Niobe, "Here use my magic sleeping bag, You'll have a comftable sleep, it also cure you if you have a wound some where, Oh! Yes if you don't mind Luke like to sleep at the feet of the bag. I hope you don't mind Luke. Good night and sweets dreams." Sly take his bed role and spread it on the ground near the fire and sure enough Luke makes himself comtable at the foot of the bag. Sly moves to his guarding place and will stay there untill late into the night.
Niobe Tuesday January 6th, 2004 8:01:06 PM
Niobe looks rather surprised and gratified at Sly's actions and words, and takes a quick moment to get over her surprise. "But, you... where are you...? Wake me when your watch is done. Then you can have your bed roll back; nice and warmed up. Thank you so much for your generosity!" Niobe smiles. "I don't mind Luke at all. He is very welcome to sleep where ever he would like. Good night." Niobe gets ready to sleep and curls up in the magical sleeping bag. She promptly falls asleep and will sleep peacefully until woken for watch.
Savin d20+8=16 Tuesday January 6th, 2004 8:49:00 PM
Savin will help clean up the dinner dishes. After that chore is done, he will go and perform some kata, working up a good sweat. He will head out into the darkness and strip off his clothes and with a bar of soap, give himself a shower in the rain. Once he is done with all of these things, he will redress and sit down next to Sly.
"I am restless tonight for some reason. Do you mind some company?" Savin will idly pick up six stones and start juggling. "I am feeling out of sorts Sly. I have been travelling with you for a while now but don't know my purpose here. I am thinking about leaving soon. I enjoy your company but it seems we have been bogged down in trivial things lately. I need a good adventure where I can help right some wrongs."
Savin Tuesday January 6th, 2004 8:49:47 PM
Sorry forgot to post it but the roll was for my perform skill to juggle
Barnum Berrybrawn Tuesday January 6th, 2004 9:54:39 PM
"Eh... I'll take the last watch. It'll be good for me to wake up early for a change. That and, I've managed to wear myself out through all my traveling I've done today..." With that, Barnum puts aside his empty cup and bowl and promptly falls asleep.
Ilsidur Tuesday January 6th, 2004 10:42:49 PM
Ilsidur looks over at Sly, and says, "Sly, why don't you tell Grinder here, and maybe some of our newer friends, about what happened with the Chaos Bell. As I said, it happened shortly before I joined up with the Children. So, although I wear the Bell tattoo, I was not there when the bell was rung. Can you fill Grinder in, since he is asking?
"My experience with the bell has been that we seem to be able to invoke its power when we most need it. It has mostly helped us with beneficial effects, but when we call the power of the Bell, we never know exactly how it will help us. For example, when we fought the red dragon, it somehow connected our minds, so that it was much more difficult for the dragon to hit us. Unfortunately, the dragon was able to hit us with its fire breath, and one of us was lost in the fight. So, I think it safe to say that we accept the tattoo of the Bell, and the power that comes with it, however little we can understand or control it."
Justin Webber (DM) Night Wednesday January 7th, 2004 2:20:39 PM
The night passes uneventfully and true to his wrod Grinder takes one of the night watch shifts. The storm never stops throughout the night and even in the morning it is raining and lightning streaks the skys in what looksl ike curtains of lightning.
Grinder shakes his head and smiles, "Guess it's time to move on, with or without the rain. Shall we travel together."
Sly Foxx and Luke Wednesday January 7th, 2004 5:21:17 PM
Sly speakes to Savin, "I'm sorry that you are thinking of leaving Savin. You have been a great help and a most valued friend. I would like to go off and head home, but I don't have one any more. If these people did not want to see the bell and the place where it all started, I would have to wait for the Bell to ring again. I hope you change your mind and stay just a little longer." Sly thinks for a moment "You know Ilsidur, I never saw that bell, and I know that Trace and Sir Thomas had quit a fight on their hands. I wonder if it's still there?" So Sly rest very little, and in the morning the lightning is getting worse. If it was not for the favor to that barmaid, But anything to ease a mother mind about her child. So He and Luke will go on.Besides Niobe need him to keep her out of trouble.
Peerimus Wednesday January 7th, 2004 6:35:16 PM
AS the night lifts and morning continues with the storm, Peerimus sits quietly meditating for a half hour, but unlike other days, he dons no paint or mud. Geeting up from his thoughts and prayers he joins the others for cold and likely soggy bread and cheese as a morning meal.
Sitting near Grinder, Sly and Ilsidur. "I would like to hear more of the Chaos Bell. It seems to be why we are all drawn together and we are probably correct to seek it out and begin from there. Savin I would also like to extentd my wish for you not to go as others have. We are in a riddle wrapped in a quest. Once we reach the bell our journey shall truly begin and we would sorely miss you were you not there."
Yorrick moves off to hunt and or forraige, heading for the nearest stream.
Barnum and Edgar Wednesday January 7th, 2004 6:43:59 PM
As promised, Barnum was up bright and early. Well, not so much bright, but certainly early. He holds out his Everlasting Torch, hoping it would bring some relief from the storm's darkness. "So... We'll be heading out then."
Edgar, now awake, complains profusely about flying in the rain, until he finally secures a position for himself underneath Barnum's cloak.
Ilsidur Wednesday January 7th, 2004 11:37:58 PM
Ilsidur looks surprised, and says, "Sly, you mean you weren't with the original group when they discovered the Chaos Bell? Well, all I can tell you about it is that the original group found the Bell buried in the wall of an old Abbey, guarded, I think, by some sort of birdmen. When the group found the bell, they accidently allowed it to ring, which seemed to release some sort of Chaos power, and they were all tattooed with this." He displays the whorling spiral that is located on the back of his right hand. "Apparently, if you stay with the Children long enough, you develop the tattoo. I don't know when I first noticed it on my hand, but it happened a long time ago."
Savin Thursday January 8th, 2004 10:51:06 AM
Savin will say back to Sly, "Oh I am not going anywhere for a while. I just hope that this group starts helping some people again. That is the way of my order and our first principal."
Savin will pat Peerimus on the shoulder in a silent thanks for his concern and support. He will listen to the others speak about the Chaos Bell with interest.
Justin Webber (DM) Moving on Thursday January 8th, 2004 2:30:46 PM
Grinder eats a quick breakfast with everyone before moving along in the rain, listening to any talk of the chaos bell or anything else the group may wish to talk about.
Grinder does comment a few times, "I hate this rain, I hope it quits soon."
(OOC:To make this easier it will take 2 more days of travel to reach Harnmar (thinks I spelled it right) so we can speed this up if you like by everyone making posts for the 2 days of walking and sleeping. Nothing will be happening from hear to the city anyway and it's better then having to type out the same routine :).)
Niobe Thursday January 8th, 2004 2:52:11 PM
Niobe has her gear packed and puts her cloak on. She looks out at the rain and sighs. She eats a quick breakfast after going off to get cleaned up. As the group travels she will try to keep a look out for any bandits and such, though she doesn't think that very many people will be out in this awful weather! Niobe will usually take one of the middle watches.
Barnum and Edgar Thursday January 8th, 2004 6:52:38 PM
Walking and sleepig, walking and sleeping. Though Barnum is a somewhat of a traveler by profession, all this rain, and more importantly, all this horrible mud on his beautiful clothes and boots makes him grow weary of it. He keeps himself occupied by chatting with his friends.
Sly Foxx and Luke Thursday January 8th, 2004 10:47:38 PM
"I'm looking forward to seeing the sight Where that Bell was. I wonder if it's still there or if it just disapeared? I wish Trace or Sir Thomas was here to to tell us." after breakfast they brake camp and walk torough the rain and mud.
Looking through the rain to make sure that they are on the right road, "Just think that in a couple od days We'll be in a nice warn tavern drinking nice warm cider." Sly look down at Luke "I promise that no bath for you, Luke. Just a nice dry toweland a big bowl of stew."
Luke just wags his tail and follows Sly.
*Hmm! (Sly thinks) Almost as if he understude what I was saying*
Savin d20+8=24 Thursday January 8th, 2004 11:06:01 PM
Savin will spend the 2 days like normal. He will chat with Grinder and try to find out more about the man. He will cook the meals but force the others to clean up and try to keep spirits high with the rain by playing light tunes on his pipes. His playing is beautiful. (perform check 24)
Ilsidur Thursday January 8th, 2004 11:52:48 PM
Ilsidur makes his way back to Heranmar with the rest of the party. He frowns regularily at the terrible weather that seems to follow the party. "Grinder, what have you done to cause this weather to follow you? Have you angered one of the Gods? And please tell me more about these 'spirits' that you mentioned. Are they real, or just a manifestation of your luck?"
Teleheri (PH) Friday January 9th, 2004 8:00:31 AM
OCC: Laidies and gentlemen, im back! Eunice, thanx a lot for keeping Teleheri moving.
After a good night sleeping, Woody wakes up in a good mood, and after listening everything that was told about the bell, he start to pay mor attention to everything that is said about it.
During the travel, he gets close to Ilsidur and Grinder, as Ilsidur asks about his curse.
Then he asks Ilsidur, "So, if i get along with you, probably ill get a tatoo too? that would be nice, but is this tatoo permanent? Because i have a little problem with tatoos. The one i have doesnt bring me good memories."
After this he keeps going in silence, always protecting Link from the Rain with his coat.
Sly Foxx and Luke Friday January 9th, 2004 9:02:44 AM
As the party druges along, Sly knows that the town is just over the hill. But this rainis really dragging them down, the storm alomst has a mind of it's own and it seem it does not like the lot of you, "I think that there's a big cave around here some place? Were just too tired to go on. Look over there there's that cave. Let's start a fire and rest untill tomorow, OK?"
Peerimus and Yorrick d20+17=32 d20+6=19 Friday January 9th, 2004 11:49:44 AM
At first Peerimus seems rather delighted to be walking through the storm, but he quickly tempers his enthsiasm as he sees the others are clearly not as happy with it.
Yorrick walks, or rather plods with his head bent in a deep state of angry wet bear and is well nigh inconsolible, even by Peerimus.
During the evenings, Peerimus spends a great deal of time talking to Luke about the 'Great Stag' and the incident at 'Hollow'. Trying to glean any information on the possession by the spirit and the obvious and less than obvious lasting effects it is having on him. With his know of nature, and spellcraft try and determine if Luke has been Awakened. [32 nature 19 Spellcraft]
