An Commotion. (DM Jim) Monday October 11th, 2004 7:58:58 PM
From outside of the room that most of The Chosen are in, there is the sudden sound of voices. There seems to be an arguement of somekind going on out there.
Flat-top and Kale both see the same young acolyte approaching that led them to the room earlier coming back up the hall at a clip. He is being followed by an important looking man. He is wearing clothes of someone of some nobility, rich and rather tasteful though. He seems upset and goading the kid along to take him to see someone that is in the temple.
Father Yurt turns to the sounds that are traveling their way and shakes his head in wonder. He is too distracted to answer anymore questions right yet, but you are sure that he will get to it...in a minute or two.
Zeoll Monday October 11th, 2004 8:42:10 PM
Zeoll returns from his errand and joins Kale and Flat-top. He suggests that the three rejoin the main group.
[OOC: Still waiting for the catacombs. Will get PC sheet in soon.]
Leets Tuesday October 12th, 2004 4:16:10 AM
The Centaur paladin reports his attention on the people arriving, and quickly calls Managarm by his side.
He tries to detect evil among those people.
Managram(ceil) Tuesday October 12th, 2004 6:03:51 AM
As soon as Leets calls for him, *PooF!* the dog is at his side. The dog look to the sound and growls "Grrr!"
Elder(ceil) Tuesday October 12th, 2004 6:10:15 AM
Elder is sniffing around, there something odd on this new center's shoulder. *Sniff? Sniff?*
Then come that dangerious noise, the Weasel turn and in a flash id back into his pouch on Kanchana's belt *Ahhhh! safely home.*
Kale Tuesday October 12th, 2004 7:07:02 AM
Kale just stares at the two men who enter the temple. "I think we better stay here." he tells Flat-Top, then nods at Zeoll's suggestion and re-enters the room
Brahmah Tuesday October 12th, 2004 7:28:24 AM
Brahmah turns and stands from his chair, not knowing what to expect. The actions of the taur clergy fresh in his mind, Marteus on everyone's lips, causes him to draw his weapons, not sure what to expect. Truth be told, he doesn't even know why he drew his weapons, it just seems to be an automatic response he's developed in the past weeks. Orges, orcs, dragons, bigger dragons, floating cities! What else could POSSIBLY go wrong?!
Gecktar Tuesday October 12th, 2004 7:39:45 AM
Gecktar waits patiently to see what the newcomer wants, and what he is doing in this temple.
Flat-top Tuesday October 12th, 2004 12:02:08 PM
Flat-top mutters more to Zeoll than to Kale, "I knew you'd changed your mind!" Then follows right behind the both of them (With his Morningstar in hand.
Kanchana Tuesday October 12th, 2004 7:27:45 PM
Kanchana waits to see what the new person has to say.
Solgrin Tuesday October 12th, 2004 7:28:47 PM
Solgrin looks about then watches the newcomer to see what they do when they see all the Chosen here.
A Case of Celebrity. (DM Jim) Tuesday October 12th, 2004 9:24:37 PM
The young acolyte stops at the doorway to the room and points inside. He says nothing else as the man moves to enter the doorway. The boy is quickly gone, making himself as scarce as possible.
The man waits for those of The Chosen to reenter the room and then he shakes his head. "I do believe that you are The Chosen of Domi...are you not." He waits for an answer as he continue to look on with a slightly annoyed look upon his face. He gives the older priest a nod in greeting but says nothing to him or acknowledge him in any other way. He flips open a fan and begins to fan himself as he waits, seeming to get a little more agitated as he waits.
[There is no sense of evil about the man. He is in his late thirties and dressed as a noble. He is not in that great of shape with the beginnings of a belly.]
Brahmah Tuesday October 12th, 2004 10:58:29 PM
"We are the Chosen." He says to the man.
Toros Tuesday October 12th, 2004 11:33:54 PM
Toros also is together with the Chosen, although it is hard to distinguish his existence, as he prefers to keep quiet and maintain a low profile. But he is actively watching what is around.
Gecktar Wednesday October 13th, 2004 2:57:08 AM
Gecktar slightly bows before the newcomer. "I'm Gecktar, servant of the true faith and Chosen of Domi."
"I understand that you want to meet us, isn't it ?"
Kale Wednesday October 13th, 2004 7:07:31 AM
Kale returns the annoyed look of the noble with one of his own and remains quiet
Flat-top Wednesday October 13th, 2004 7:09:48 AM
Flat-top enters the room, with a quick glance at Brahmah, he will go to the magic users (druid, wizards and cleric) and will stand between them and the stranger. With weapen in hand (just in case something goes wrong).
Leets Wednesday October 13th, 2004 8:08:04 AM
Leets nods at the man, but still has a hand on his whole new club, gently running his fingers on it...
Zeoll d20+20=38 Wednesday October 13th, 2004 8:33:05 AM
Zeoll smiles and nods. "Yes, good sirr, we arre the Chosen of Domi, although I did not rrealize that we werre known in this land. My name is Zeoll, and I hope you will gift us with yourr own. How is it that you arre familiarr with us, may I ask, and how may we help you?"
[Diplomacy Check 38]
The Magister. (DM Jim) Wednesday October 13th, 2004 8:20:09 PM
The man seems to get a little bit more annoyed that what he thought it right, but he quickly covers it with diplomatic charm. "Yes, the proprieties must be observed. I am the Overlord's magister sent to bring The Chosen to the palace." He gives each one a serious look as he speaks up again, not sounding a bit happy. "The Overlord was a little put out that you did not announce your arrival so that a proper welcome and feast could be prepared." His eyes narrow a little as if judging your actions and words. "It would appear as things stand that you are trying to hide something."
With a look of total displeasure he turns and heads for the door. "That being the case you have been invited to an audience with the Overlord." He steps outside of the room and stops near the far wall to wait for you to follow him out.
The priest stands from his spot on the cushion and nods to The Chosen. "You have been given a great honor to see the Overlord...though it would have been nice to have announced yourselves." He cannot help but let a smile slip to his face as he speaks his next words and then leaves with a bow. "You are after all celebrities in many believers eyes."
Brahmah Thursday October 14th, 2004 12:07:37 AM
"Then those believers would understand if we declined. We were unaware of your laws. I believe we need only be shown the way out of your City." The leader of the Chosen states, much to the suprise to the other Chosen.
Hiding something? That sounds real bad! I don't think we should trust the rich of the City. The last 'invite' to 'meet' us, left many dead and more doubting. Thinking to himself.
Zeoll d20+11=30 Thursday October 14th, 2004 12:32:40 AM
Zeoll agrees with Brahmah, and speaks in Taur. "I don't trrust these small folk. Let's get out of herre now, beforre we can be betrrayed. Perrhaps we should make ourr escape quickly. I'll distrract this Magisterr while the rrest of us leave. Head back to the house to grrab ourr stuff and then we rrun! Hurrry as soon as I fascinate him!"
Zeoll takes out his drum and begins to play a hypnotic melody. He steps into the hall and sings his entrancing lyrics ... therre's a place wherre trroubles fading and the peaceful are purrsuading all to gentle all perrvading serrenading
all the gentle folk are meeting all theirr carres arre faint and fleeting hearr the bluebells just rrepeating and completing
[Bardic song to Fascinate -- Perform check 30 means that the Magister must make a Will save vs. DC30 or be fascinated.]
Toros d20=7 Thursday October 14th, 2004 2:54:48 AM
With enthusiasm, Toros try to recall the melody that Zeoll play, sensing what he is doing and trying to help him (d20, 7). However he cannot remember the words of the song and leaves to-give-a-hand for the next time.
Solgrin Thursday October 14th, 2004 4:13:34 AM
Solgrin looks at the Magister then the others then tells Brahmah in Taur "I had no idea that I should have taken you to see the Overlord when you arrived. I would rather we see the Overlord then to have the guards after us as they would more than likely have all the portals guarded."
Solgrin then tells the priest via Rozca "I hope we have not caused you any trouble."
Kanchana Thursday October 14th, 2004 4:14:34 AM
Kanchana looks nervously around hoping there are no guards waiting for the Magister while getting ready to leave.
Leets Thursday October 14th, 2004 5:01:27 AM
"How rude!!!"
"Domi teaches us humility...I wonder why we should have announced us...However, I once more wonder what kind of clergymen we'll meet in such a place."
Flat-top Thursday October 14th, 2004 7:53:43 AM
Also thinking that man is rude, "I agree, that is very rude, after all we just came back from defeating four Red Dragons, small ones. But still came out alive! I think Solgrin, you did nothing wrong. Giving prayer and Thanks to Domi, is the only right thing to do.
BUT! I also think this is no time to make enermies, I think we should go see the Over Lord. AND I don't think we should tell him about the mothers and children we left here."
Kale Thursday October 14th, 2004 9:52:14 AM
glad to see that the rest of the group are finally making some sensce, Kale goes over and stands as close to the magistrate as he can, and prepares to stick him with his shortsword if the magistrate tries to stop them
Gecktar Thursday October 14th, 2004 5:00:50 PM
"Please Chosen, don't judge him, he is accustomed to court and nobles ways I think. And I imagine that to his eyes we do not observe the etiquette..."
"We are not for the same circle... That's all"
An Escape. (DM Jim) d20+17=20 Thursday October 14th, 2004 9:12:58 PM
The magister stands in the hallway, seemingly hypnotized by the song that is being sung. He does not appear to even notice Kale as he moves up next to him with a drawn sword.
Several of the group slip out the door and start down the hallway. Still others are not too sure about this course of action. For some of you it seems wrong.
Zeoll Thursday October 14th, 2004 10:16:39 PM
Zeoll gently motions the Chosen out the door as he continues singing. He knows that the duration of his song is only 2 rounds! He himself walks 40 feet towards the exit, getting as far as possible while still within range to fascinate the Magister (within 90 feet)
Brahmah Friday October 15th, 2004 1:14:05 AM
"Yurt, what do we do to get off the Float?"
Brahmah (Addendum) Friday October 15th, 2004 3:22:43 AM
The dark minotaur sees the doubt in his friends eyes. "Should we stay? Well, no, the more people know we're around, the more likely we will bring danger to those people. If we stay, danger comes to the City and nearer to the Children. I'm tired of endangering others! Let's move Chosen."
Gecktar Friday October 15th, 2004 3:23:57 AM
"Captain ?"
"Are you sure you want to avoid the Overlord of the city. I think we better have to meet him, else he could take offend that we don't show him respect."
"I just warn you that the children are still in this city and we certainly don't need to turn such powerful people against us."
"If you agree I will go with the magister and send our homage to the overlord"
Flat-top Friday October 15th, 2004 7:12:12 AM
Flat-top's heart goes to Brahmah, But Gecktar makes a lot of horse sence, after the Taurs cannot hide very well. "Captain, I'm with you but Gecktar makes sence, after all it's not like our babies can blend in with the others, The Overlord will know we brough them here.
I think we'll have to go for the safty of our Unitaurs and the mothers." You can see by his face that Flat-top is pleading on behalf of their children. "After all we don't want another mysterious burning of an ophanage, do we?"
OOC: I'm tired and a little up set. Please forgive the spelling.
Kale d20+7=26 Friday October 15th, 2004 9:28:53 AM
Kale will stay where he is until Zeoll is ready to leave, then Kale will follow him out. as he leaves, Kale's hand quickly searches through the magistrate's pockets to see if there is anything of use(pick pockets roll of 26)
A Pull of Emotions. (DM Jim) Friday October 15th, 2004 8:57:33 PM
Priest Vurt looks to Brahmah as he goes to leave and nods in understanding. "To meet with the Overlord is not a bad thing...otherwise I know of no way out of this city." He then slips out before any trouble starts.
Kale slips his own hands into the magister's pockets and finds a few items. Some of the group are already down the hall and ready to head out of the building and into the yard.
[Kale finds a small bottle, silk hanky, four platinum and a little viper.]
Zeoll Friday October 15th, 2004 9:46:34 PM
Zeoll has given the Chosen two rounds to get away, and if some have not availed themselves of that opportunity, so be it. As for Zeoll, after two rounds his Fascination ends, and rather than press his luck trying it again, he high-tails it out of there. "High-Tails" is the right phrase, too -- with his tail high and his paws hitting the street, Zeoll is heading fast for home. He intends to pick up his croc and meet the other Chosen there, according to plan.
[Runs 160 feet a round.]
Brahmah Saturday October 16th, 2004 12:59:48 AM
Brahmah leaves. Why didn't Yurt ask if we saw the Overlord? He DID say seeing the Overlord wasn't a bad thing. The word 'Overlord' doesn't sound good. He thinks.
Kale Saturday October 16th, 2004 6:52:29 AM
Kale drops the viper on the ground, but keeps the other things as he leaves with the others. "Where to now?"
Gecktar Sunday October 17th, 2004 5:02:13 AM
Gecktar stares at Kale not bieliving it...
"What ? What have you done ! This may be an ally and you are turning it against us !"
"Do you realize what you are doing ? Now we can take back the childs and hope to find a way to get out the city... If he realizes what you have done he will send the milicia against us..."
"Oh what wonderful image you give from the Chosen ! A band of of rogues and thieves, that avoid the autorities because they prefer to steal in the pockets of the magistrates !"
Gecktar stand by the side of the magistrate and turn to Brahmah.
"I will see the overlord and beg his pardon for our poor behaviour. I think that if there is one person that know the way out of this city, it may be the Overlod himself..."
Flat-top Sunday October 17th, 2004 8:48:18 AM
Flat-top trots up to Kale, he snickers as he looks down at the little snake. He speaks to his friend, "Did the little green snake bit you! The Mzgistrate put his pet in his pocket to suprise thieves. Maybe people are not as law abiding as was led to believe??"
Toros Monday October 18th, 2004 12:48:41 AM
Seeing the diversion among the Chosen about what to do, it seems that Toros cannot make up his own mind. Before the end of Zeoll's magic he has some but little time to run away. But he does not want to leave Gecktar there and what if the viper bit Kale! In case, he will ready his "neutralize poison", if Kale will be in need of it.
OOC: "Flat-top", hope you feel better now.
Leets Monday October 18th, 2004 3:29:37 AM
"Although I hate this idea, I think we should split the group before meeting this 'overlord'...Considering what happened to us in the past, it would avoid us being thrown in jail all together..."
"So...Who would meet this Overlord? Brahmah?"
Brahmah Monday October 18th, 2004 4:28:16 AM
"If we split the group Chosen, I'll be one to go to meet the Overlord. I will need three more Chosen to come with me, no more than four should go. I'll take volunteers. I'd ask for Kale to come along.
If the rest of you want to leave before the Magistrate comes too, I'll understand. We'll meet later.
Leets is right, we shouldn't all go. If you leave now, we won't be able to tell them where you are if we get captured."
Flat-top Monday October 18th, 2004 1:15:09 PM
"I Vulerntor, no that's not it. I Vuleenem, no that not it either. I'll go with you. THAT'S what I wanted to say!" Flat-top beat his chest as if in victory.
Kale Monday October 18th, 2004 2:30:12 PM
Kale shrugs at Gecktar's outburst and says "Whats the difference? We have already spellbound him. I dont see how I made things any worse." then, as an afterthought, Kale also tosses the bottle of ink and the silk hankerchief away too. then he says "I thought we were fleeing the city. Why would we want to go see the Overlord if we're leaving?"
A New Decision. (DM Jim) Monday October 18th, 2004 2:57:40 PM
Gecktar stays behind as the rest flee towards the courtyard area of the temple. Though he is not sure about his decision it seems to be the best course of action. As the magister starts to stir, you see him give you a smile and shake his head. "This will not turn out well if we do not get to the front I am afraid." He stops to pick up the little viper and soothes him as he moves to the courtyard himself.
At the courtyard area of the temple, any ideas of escape are quelched as the group stops at shortly after getting out of the temple. Standing at the actual exit in the walls that surround the temple are a dozen heavily armored, well you would say men but it is hard to tell.
The group of armored men form up into three rows of four men apiece. The front row each holds a greatsword in their hands, the next row are holding spears at the ready and the back row pull up crossbows. There is no sign of immediate hostility from the soldiers but they do seem prepared to stop your leaving. One of the front soldiers, that has a pair of open hands over his right breast, speaks up to the group as he keeps his men in check. "Why do you leave without the Magister, Chosen?" You see him glance around quickly for the man is does not seem happy to not see him.
[The soldiers are covered from head to toe in what appears to be adamatine armor. Most likely full plate it would appear, with shields of the same metal on thier backs.]
Brahmah, the Indignant and Uncooperative Leader Monday October 18th, 2004 3:43:26 PM
Reaching the courtyard, Brahmah realizes, almost immediately, not that he's very happy about it, that the situation is nearly impossible. Fact is, these human lightning-rods were there for the Chosen. They must of expected the lack of cooperation. Humans, you can't trust them! Well, I'm going to have a bit of fun, there's nothing else better to do. He thinks to himself.
"The Magister? The Magister?" He scratches his head as if he was having a hard time remembering. He looks at the Chosen. "OH! You mean the bright colored monkey who walked in demanding we go with him? Oh, he tasted GREAT!" He picks his teeth with his Kukri, smirking. "He's fine... perhaps a little dazed." "Look here, friends, we simply want to move along. No harm, no foul." Brahmah makes little effort to concern himself with the small army and secures his equipment. He begins to move toward the group of dark armored humans, his weapons sheathed and not showing.
Then he stops, looking at the man who spoke. "Besides, if I didn't want to talk to your Magister, let alone the Overlord, what the hell makes you think I'll talk to you, some LACKY?!"
Flat-top Monday October 18th, 2004 5:32:20 PM
Flat-top Looks around at the small army in three rows all lined up to like bowling pins ready to be mowed down. "Look Captain! there's only twelves of them, all lined up in a row. We just got through fighting four red dragons and killed them. We go through an arc and wind up in Err! Domi only knows?? we come to this temple to pray to Domi. Then this human come in the middle of our prayers and yells at us. Now we have these tin soldiers pointing sticks at us?? Who are you Frendly People, anyway?? Who is this Magistrate?? and Who is this Overlord, that you are talking about?? Somebody want to start a fight or someting??"
Flat-top takes his Morning star from his neck and hold it in his hand and in the next round he will go for his shield.
Zeoll d20+16=29 Monday October 18th, 2004 7:04:31 PM
Zeoll steps forward and bows slightly to the leader with hands on his chest.
"Good sirr, we simply do not choose to speak with the Magisterr orr otherr officials of the city now. In fact, we prreferr to leave as soon as possible. We have brroken no rrule, we owe no one herre any debt, and we wish to be on ourr way. We choose to leave, as peacefully as possible. Since you arre good people, not slaverrs norr kidnapperrs, I am surre you will let us pass in peace."
"Please step aside to let us go."
[OOC: Diplomacy check 29.]
Toros d20=20 Monday October 18th, 2004 9:47:14 PM
Lagging behind, as he worries about Gecktar, Toros notices that Magister also moves to the courtyard, still in good mood. On the other side, there is the approaching threat of the armed soldiers. All this development of events is like a tragy-comic stage performance for him. Then Toros starts a new song of his own to keep up with this good mood, and performance; i.e. continue to fascinate the Magister (**d20=20+5, 25**). If he succeeds, then he will ask Magister to let his friends and him go, suggesting to meet again tomorrow?(fascinate is in effect for 2 rounds)
Brahmah Tuesday October 19th, 2004 4:59:39 AM
(OOC: Sorry about the early post, but I have a late schedule at the store late Tuesday.)
Brahmah boldly waits for what he knows will NOT be a warm reception. The minotaur just stands there in the courtyard with his hands on his sides, elbows out, just chuckling at the armor clad idiots. He flexes his peck muscles, one at a time, which ripple under the chain shirt. "Don't you 'gentlemen' have some place to be, like... maybe, polishing Pretty Boy's boots?" ...polishing your noses in his... He thinks.
Kale Tuesday October 19th, 2004 10:06:19 AM
seeing all the men waiting for them, Kale palms a potion and prepares to take it at the first sign of trouble.
Flat-top Tuesday October 19th, 2004 12:51:57 PM
"Polish Boots! Maybe that's why their armor are black, too much boot polishing. I Hate Black Armor!" Yells the centor.
Flat-top takes and ajust his shield, click his frount hoves (cleaning and showing off his Hoves Knuckles) If any of these men move, Flat-top will his his shoulder for Protection from Evil. And might make an attempt to charge at them.
He stairs them down, Somebody will have to make a move, one way or the other...
Maybe a Good Ending. (DM Jim) Tuesday October 19th, 2004 11:06:05 PM
The armored soldier looks to Brahmah and laughs at him. "Very unlikely." He makes no move to raise his arms as he gives a signal to his men to hold their ground. "We are only here to escort you to see the Overlord and nothing else." It appears that the soldier is hoping to avoid a fight or anything of the kind.
From behind the group you hear a voice speak up. "I am sorry to disappoint you my good taur...but really the first song had no real effect on me." The magister comes up with Gecktar following behind. "I only wanted to judge your reactions to see if you are honorable." Stepping out further he gives a signal to the captain of the soldiers. "Now, the Overlord would welcome a chance to speak to the heroes that champion Domi." The magister steps up to lay a hand gently on Brahmah's shoulder, with no other intent but to show respect. "You wish to leave here and the Overlord can help...your quest is well looked upon by the Overlord." With a last bow of respect to the Chosen he tries one last time. "Please come with me...you have my word that you can go free at anytime."
Brahmah Wednesday October 20th, 2004 2:41:08 AM
"Damn." The minotaur sees no other choice other than to follow the humans. He puts his hand on the hilt of his falchion and follows along. "Come one Chosen."
Gecktar Wednesday October 20th, 2004 2:53:51 AM
Gecktar hopes that the last words of the Magister will moderate the agressive mood of the other Chosen.
"I'm sure we can trust him. This town will not have been a haven for the children, shown to us by Domi, if the first magistrate of the city was corrupted or against us." Gecktar says to the other Chosen
Brahmah Wednesday October 20th, 2004 4:46:51 AM
Brahmah wants to rip out Gecktar's tongue for mentioning the Children out in such a public forum. The leader of the Chosen just tilts his head at the stupidity of the cleric. "Honor can only get us so far. Trust isn't given so easily, its earned or it could get us killed Gecktar. Speak no more of the 'packages' left in this city so openly... or face me." The minotaur scowls at Gecktar.
OOC: Brahmah has asked the group in the past not to talk to openly about the Children in public, for their safety. Please refrain from talking about the Unitaurs.
Kale Wednesday October 20th, 2004 10:01:58 AM
Kale shrugs his shoulders and prepares to move with the humans. Things are getting ugly, Kale thinks to himself as he sees the exchange between Gecktar and Brahmah
Flat-top Wednesday October 20th, 2004 10:53:30 AM
Flat-top put away his morningstar (around his neck), he's a little disapointed that there's no fight. He has to have relieve from fighting those four little dragons and had to kill them, that weighs heavy on his mind.
But he does give Gecktar a dirty look for his slip of the toung. After all Flat-top fell that he is leaving most of his heard here in the City in the Clouds and he does not know when he'll ever see them again.
But like a true Royal Marine, he follows his Captain's Orders. He follows the others by Kanchana's side.
Gecktar ... response Wednesday October 20th, 2004 12:53:01 PM
Gecktar come close to Brahmah so no one else hear what he want to say.
"Your lack of faith and perceptiveness sadden me Brahmah. Look around you and tell me how many taurs you see in the city. Do you really imagine that the Overlord and his Magistrates ignore the presence of the children ? And from whom the orphanage get its subsidy ? Don't you thing that the city gives some funds for the orphans ? I'm sure that the director regulary send reports to the administration of this city. Do you really imagine that Domi will show us a place where the Children will be endangered ?"
"And I face you to say that Captain, with all respect I should give to you, allow me to give you one advice. Arms are useful, I myself rely on them, but temper you warlike nature or you will guide us to our doom. I'm sure that it is you experience that guide your acts, and you are far more experienced than me, but faith guide mine."
"I will give you the last word, and then consider this incident as closed. I will take account of your desire to not mention our 'package' but please don't take those around us for more stupid than they are or one time you will get the wrong way."
OOC : Gecktar did not yell his precedent remark. It was clearly adressed to the Chosen and only to the Chosen I should have mentioned it... This one is to Brahmah's ears only.
OOC2 : no offense Jay but Brahmah's words offend Gecktar :)
Toros Wednesday October 20th, 2004 9:23:18 PM
Surprised with Magister's words, Toros keeps quiet, feeling discomfort and relief - both at the same time.
Zeoll Wednesday October 20th, 2004 10:23:21 PM
Zeoll shrugs, and follows Brahmah and the Magister.
The Price of Notoriety. (DM Jim) Wednesday October 20th, 2004 10:24:00 PM
You move through the streets at a modest pace as the soldiers flank the group but make no move to stop them. People have taken to lining the streets and many of them are whispering and pointing at the Chosen.
The magister shakes his head and clucks his tongue. "I am sorry about this...there are many who know somewhat of what you do and they want peace for all." He says this somewhat quietly to Brahmah as they walk along. "As to the package that you left earlier...the Overlord knows and has given a vow that they will not come to harm, but you can ask about that yourself and get a binding word." He tries to keep the rest of his talks socialable as he travels along.
The group has moved up a couple of levels in the Float, it seems that the city is made of levels on top of each other. Suddenly a woman steps forward to Brahmah with a young baby in her hands. "Sir, could you bless my child?" She seems to be looking for some kind of blessing from heroes of Domi. Soon there are several other folks moving foward and asking for blessings from other Chosen.
Near the edge of the crowd are a group of young female humans, of marriable age, that are staring at Zeoll and Flat-top. They are talking amongst themselves. Bits of thier conversation can be heard. "Look at the muscles on that one. Yes and that other one's tail. I bet it tickles. He could tickle me with it." If looked at by these two Chosen they will blush and look away.
A taur breaks out of the crowd and moves towards the Chosen with a basket in hand. He is the taur baker from a week ago and he stops before Zeoll. "Please take this...it is the best bread from my bakery." He blushes as he back up some and gives the whole group a bow. "If I had only known the first day." Another older human woman moves around the group handing out bundles of flowers, crying as she does. You hear her talking lightly to herself. "Never thought to meet heroes in my time, what an honor."
The only dissmal group seems to be some people standing near the back of the crowd near an alleyway. They are dressed in normal clothes but they are staring holes into the group with obvious looks of disdain.
Brahmah Thursday October 21st, 2004 1:36:44 AM
As he walks out with the group, he walks up to Gecktar, speaking in Taurish. "I do respect you and what your opinion, but don't EVER speak to me like that again. I'm not ignorrant of things, I understand the human world more than you know!
As for my warlike nature, I have had VERY horrible experience with humans and don't want to subject the 'packages' to that. I'll tell you the story some day, if you want to hear it. My warlike nature as you call it is not in question, I know I have a temper. I was testing these humans to see what reactions they might show to us. I'm happy you have faith Gecktar, but have faith in your leader." Brahmah smiles and forgets the incident.
As the group moves along, he listen to man speaking to them. "I see. So these people have no malice toward the clergy of Domi or the packages?" Brahmah is happy to find that some humans are okay. Brahmah begins to like the magester.
When the woman steps up with the child, Brahmah doesn't know how to react, then suddenly he gets an idea. He gently touchs the babies forehead and traces a symbol of Domi. "May Domi and Mother Wold guide this child." He waves his hands in the direction of the crowds. "May Domi favor you all."
Brahmah elbows Flat-top and winks to the girls on the side. "There you are Flat-top, some girls to play with." He laughs outloud.
But his smile disappears when he sees the group of disdainful humans. He stops and turns his head in their direction. He begins to move their way. "Folks, please move, I believe these fellows have some words for the Chosen too." He pushes carefully through the crowd, lifting children and females out of his way so not to hurt them. When he get to the men, he looks down at them. "Gentlemen. Can I do something for you?" He places his hands on his hips, near his blades. "Well?"
Brahmah Thursday October 21st, 2004 1:39:57 AM
"Pah'caw!" He calls to his bird, who seems to be missing for awhile.
Gecktar Thursday October 21st, 2004 2:48:23 AM
Gecktar land a hand to Brahmah and shake it vigorously. "I'll always be by you side Captain, whatever the situation be."
He smiles to his captain and then follow the group.
A warm wave of hope flood him as the crowd gather around them. But when he notice the disdainful group of humans it's like ice rolled on his spine.
Leets Thursday October 21st, 2004 6:22:08 AM
Leets tries not to be annoyed by women or anything...He feels uncomfortable with so many people and the security of the Chosen being the main problem...He whispers:
"Managarm my dog, if you feel or smell anything wrong...Just bark...Especially Marteaus putrid presence..."
Kale Thursday October 21st, 2004 7:03:03 AM
Kale just ignores everyone as they travel to meet with the Overlord.
Flat-top Thursday October 21st, 2004 8:30:25 AM
After his short out burst of temper,Flat-top is relieved of his anger and fustrations. He watches the crowed and cannot understand as to why he is ask for his blessing, after all he is not a cleric, But smiles at the crowed. He also keep an eye for trouble. He blushes deeply at the females comments, he answers Brahmah's little comment "I cannot play with humen females, there too small for my heard!" Letting Brahmah know that he was thinking about it!!.
But when Brahmah confrounts the dark ones in the alley, his back hairs tingle. So he'll stick close Kanchana, Solgren and both Clerics. (protedtion for the magic usera) For he does not like the look of those humen Males in the alley.
Paw'caw(ceil) Thursday October 21st, 2004 8:47:48 AM
Up high in the sky comes a screek of a Golden Eagle, circuling in a circle pattern. Down ward with every circle, until she lands on Brahmah shoulder. She look into his face as if to say 'You need me, Master?'
Managram(ceil) Thursday October 21st, 2004 8:53:24 AM
At the mention of his name, Managram appears next to Leets. *PooF!* The dog look around, sniff the air, paws the ground in the direction of the alley and starts barking "Bark! Bark!" Trying to tell Leets something.
Terran - the Overlord's Aide - NPC (Jan) Thursday October 21st, 2004 2:40:02 PM
Somewhere, up in the Palace on the Open Air Level, a tall, gruff-looking half orc waits in an ante room that precedes the main reception area. He paces back and forth, always a bundle of nerves on these occasions, pulling continually at the collar of his best jacket - a blue wool affair with too much blasted decoration on it, as far as he is concerned.
Terran is uncomfortable and looks it.
This was a far cry from his past life down on the Trash level, where he'd worked hard, played hard, and no one cared what the heck you looked like. Still - he had his duties to perform, nerves be darned. He'd been the Overlord's personal aide and bodyguard for quite a while now. It was a position he was very proud of, and right now he was the preceding welcoming committee before things got all crazy and official through the doors that lay directly behind him.
'Good day, and welcome.... cough...' 'Good morning...' 'Good -' Sigh. A half orc sounded like a half orc, no matter how he tried not to.
No Comfrontation and a Meeting. (DM Jim) Thursday October 21st, 2004 6:13:36 PM
The group of scowling human slip back into the alley and when the Chosen get there they are gone. No matter how hard you look there is not trace of them just what you saw of them.
The magister gets his soldiers to move in a little closer to the group and then he gets Brahmah's attention. Soon he has the group moving again and he shakes his head. "I did not know any of them but I believe that they are part of a sect that moved in here...Marteaus's people is what it is rumored." He keeps his eyes open for more of them, having become a little more concerned.
Soon the area opens into an area that is really nice. Clean air is blowing and you feel a little better to be out of the cramped area of the lower city. There are even more people here lining what could be a street leading to a palace. Many of the people are throwing flower petals into the walkway and shouting out for the heroes of Domi. A pair of woman, wearing revealing dresses, step out of the crowd as they move towards the group. One slips her arm around Flat-top and kisses him lightly on the cheek. The other moves over to walk beside Zeoll and she gently catches his tail, draping it over her arm. She begins to gently stroke it as she moves closer to him.
The magister just rolls his eyes before he reaches the steps and a nervous half-orc. "Terran." He moves up to stand by the man and then turns towards the group that he has brought. "May I introduce The Chosen...Heroes of Domi." A great applause erupts from the crowd as this is spoken. The two human females press themselves closer to their respective taurs and sigh loudly.
Zeoll Thursday October 21st, 2004 6:16:51 PM
[OH FRICK! POSTED THE SAME TIME AS THE DM! SORRY!]
Zeoll tries to ignore the small folk. He does not know what to make of them, nor how to respond. How could the group be known here, in this very strange place.
Zeoll does not feel much like a hero. He hopes his crocodile is safe back at Solgrin's house.
[Ceil - Please count this post as happening before my DM one today for your ADM report. Thanks.]
Flat-top Friday October 22nd, 2004 12:05:04 AM
Flat-top is caught by supprise, when this two leg female as she pull herself up to kiss him on the cheek. The Centaur turn a deep red, he wnat to run away but there's too many of people.
So he'll try to get help from Zeoll, NO! he cannot do that, it seems he's having female trouble of his own. 'Dog Gone! whwere's his crocodile when we need him?' Flat-top look toward the guards, but they are trying to stiffel a chuckle or two.
So he is trying to call for Kanchana's help, "Err Nice ladiiieee (Kiss) Please! (Kiss one more time) Kanchana!!"
When they arrive at a some steps and introduce to this Terran, Flat-top was never so glad to see a Half Orc in his life. Then it dawns on him? A HALF ORC??
Gecktar Friday October 22nd, 2004 3:12:32 AM
Gecktar, as a taur, has no concern about Terran being a half orc or a half ogre... Or any half it may be. If Terran is here this is certainly for good reasons.
As the magister introduce them, Gecktar slightly bows before the half orc.
Brahmah Friday October 22nd, 2004 3:56:01 AM
"How of the Dark One's followers are in the City?" Asks Brahmah, concerned for the Children. He looks at Gecktar. "This is the exact reason we can't speak of the Children in public."
"Heroes? I don't know about that..."
"Friend half-orc, no need to be nervous. Why are you nervous?"
He scratches his eagle friend behind the wing.
Paw'caw(ceil) Friday October 22nd, 2004 8:20:23 AM
Paw'caw ruffles her feathers and presents her head to be groomed, She love to be scratched it takes the dust and mites off her feathers.
Zeoll d20+20=31 Friday October 22nd, 2004 5:45:36 PM
Zeoll continues to ignore the female hanging on him. He mutters in Tauric, "These small people arre eitherr too frriendly or too scarry. I wish we could go home."
He speaks more loudly, in common, to the half-orc. "Uh, Terrran, um, honestly, we do not wish to trrouble you orr the Overrlorrd. Rreally, if you would be so good as to dirrect us to the nearrest exit, we would be happy to gatherr ourr things and deparrt yourr fairr metrropolis. No need to make a fuss." [Diplomacy 31]
As he says the word "fuss," he looks down at the female clinging to him and shudders.
Flat-top Saturday October 23rd, 2004 9:47:18 AM
"Zeoll! Please Hepl! Me!" pleeds the centaur, "I swear her arm are like springs, just as fast as i dislodge them, they spring right back. AND those lips of hers, they are like glue, no matter how hard I push her away, those lips of hers are just stock on my face."
Poor Flat-top has no time to say anything to the OverLord., just too buzy playing tennis with her arms.
Leets Saturday October 23rd, 2004 10:12:47 AM
The Centaur paladins is worried as he looks at his dog...
He glances at the crowd, and whispers:
"Exactly the kind of things I wish we could have avoided...Now, if our ennemies didn't know we were here...They know..."
"By the way, everybody...Managarm is behaving strangely, so...Be careful...the threat could be closer than we think..."
Into a Meeting. (DM Jim) Saturday October 23rd, 2004 4:57:47 PM
Terran shakes his head as well as he notices the actions of some of the residents. He looks to the magister with a silent plea and then turns back to Brahmah, who seems to be in charge. "Sorrry...it just seems strange for me." He absently pulls at the collar of his shirt as he tries to adjust to this position of honor. "By the way, I am to let you know that no harm will come to your secret...so the Overlord has commanded so it shall be."
The magister gives Terran a nod and then a hand signal to his soldiers. Soon four soldiers have removed the woman from the two taurs that they had latched onto. Though they kick and scream in an undignified manner it does not stop the soldiers for one minute.
With a motion of his hand, Terran motions the group up the steps and through the doors with some haste. "Please before more show up and embarrass the city and Overlord." He takes the group down a grand hallway that leads to a pair of large double doors. With a pause he stops and opens them with a light touch.
There is a sudden eruption of noise as a herald announces the group, being followed by a blast of horns. "The Heroes of Domi...The Chosen to see the Overlord." Before you sitting on a throne is the Overlord, the one that you had been so worried about.
Alicia Gabriella D'Anlaf - Current Overlord of the Floating City (NPC Jan) Sunday October 24th, 2004 12:40:04 AM
Alicia stands as soon as the doors are opened.
She is a human female in her early twenties, of slender build, dressed in a long, dark-blue, understated velvet gown. Her cascade of red hair is swept back with large, jeweled pins.
"Chosen of Domi, welcome to the Floating City!" she says with a pleasant smile.
Standing on either side of the room, are representatives from all the City's levels. They bow politely to the Chosen, their faces a mixture of welcome and curiosity.
Flat-top Sunday October 24th, 2004 9:31:57 AM
Flat-top let's out a deep sigh of relief, when the soldiers had taken care of his problem. He follows behind Bramah, but as he passes the half-orc, he whispers to him, 'If you cut a slit in back of you shirt collar, it will losen enough so you can breath right. And nobody will notice.'
Flat-top advances with the others and bows deeply, Then stands ereck and let Brahmah do all the talking.
Paw'caw(ceil) Sunday October 24th, 2004 9:35:42 AM
This time Paw'caw will not fly away to wait, She does not move from his shoulder. "And that woman better now throw a spell on her master either, or I'll mess with her hair do!"
Managram(ceil) Sunday October 24th, 2004 9:39:18 AM
Managram scratches dirt towards the ally, where he smelled hate. With his nose in the air, he follows Leets, after all he has done his duty.
Roz(ceil) Sunday October 24th, 2004 9:44:35 AM
the lil'dragon stick her head (just to see and smell) out from her hiding place. She watches the beautiful woman, she smell good too. But then there a strange scent into the air? A scent that stirs her? She seem to want to follow that scent, But what would her master say?
Elder(ceil) Sunday October 24th, 2004 9:50:28 AM
Elder is sleeping with a full stomack, When all of a sudden there's a blare of noise that awakens him. He sticks his head out of his comfy nest (to see what he could see). There all around him is lights and a lot of sparkling things all around the room.
Elder tries to get down to see what he can pick up? Anything lose? BUT Kanchana keep a ferm hand on him.
Zeoll d20+6=8 d20+20=35 Sunday October 24th, 2004 4:40:02 PM
Zeoll looks at Brahmah, then steps forward to talk. He tries to think about what to call an overlord, but does not know [failed knowledge of noblity check]
"Hello, uh, miss, and thank you forr yourr hospitality. We have been made most welcome in yourr city forr a few days now, thank you. But at prresent we wish to rreturrn home. If you could just dirrect us to the nearrest city gate, that would be wonderrful, please."
[Diplomacy check 35.]
Kale Sunday October 24th, 2004 4:45:04 PM
Kale has been staring at the half orc, thinking to himself, ive never seen anything uglier than that thing. even the humans look good comparied to him. Kale really wants to go over and tell the half orc what he thinks, but decides that this is not the best place to do it. all he does is pull his hat down and pulls his duster close around him
Brahmah Sunday October 24th, 2004 5:40:20 PM
Brahmah bows in return. "Greetings." He looks at Zeoll and allows the bard to finish.
"Aye, just point in the right direction and we'll be off." He looks at the womans expression. "No disrespect to you or your great City, ma'am, but it seems the longer we linger in one place, the sooner the Dark One's agents make there moves. We and your city can't afford that. We would like to be shown the gate." He looks over to Terran, then the rest of the Council leaders.
Toros Sunday October 24th, 2004 10:56:40 PM
Toros enjoys to be both the observer and observed.
Leets Monday October 25th, 2004 2:42:21 AM
Leets has to stop ficusing on the surrounding as he remembers the etiquette.
Both front knees on the ground, he bows deeply before the young human female, one hand on his chest, looking on the ground...
Gecktar Monday October 25th, 2004 3:02:49 AM
As they are introduced to the Overlord, Gecktar bows before her.
Flat-top Monday October 25th, 2004 2:07:04 PM
Stand there a attention, just like his old Sargent told his to do in frount of Royalties and Admirials.
Brahmah Monday October 25th, 2004 4:17:04 PM
"Please?" Brahmah adds to his inquiry.
Alicia - Overlord (NPC Jan) Monday October 25th, 2004 6:10:58 PM
Alicia bows in turn at the assembled Taurs.
"Oh!" she exclaims, as they express their need to get out of town s soon as possible. "Well... come with me. There's something I want to show you."
She smiles and beckons to the Chosen, excuses herself to the others, and leads the Taurs out onto the Palace balcony.
Beneath a cloudy sky, the view is magnificent. Ahead to the east is a small stretch of water that ends with a shoreline. Beyond that is a HUGE forest, stretching for miles and miles. At the shoreline, it looks as though some kind of construction is taking place. A settlement?
To both north and south is an endless expanse of water. Directly below them, 5 levels below - the group can see giant, harnessed turtles, pulling barges of goods here and there, or merely swimming around with their handlers. They look like tiny terrapins from this height. The lake looks still and deep, the water cool and clear. Behind them to the west, the lake ends in the far far distance, and mountains can be seen.
"As you can see," says Alicia, "we ARE somewhat isolated. We're still getting a grip on the jungle. It's sentient, and doesn't like outsiders very much." She points. "To the South lies the way to civilization overland. But it's a dangerous journey from what I've heard. Dragons, drow elves, and dangerous rapids. The North is currently being explored, and the Storm Dragons are, I believe, trying to forge an agreement with the Drow settlements for safe overland passage through the Scab toward Culverwood and Plateau City.
"However, we do have an established portal with Plateau City in new Elenna. You could travel there in an instannt."
She looks at them puzzled. "Forgive me for asking, but are you unable to return they way you arrived?"
A Slight Interruption. (DM Jim) Monday October 25th, 2004 7:50:49 PM
While the Overlord has the Chosen out on the balcony to point out the layout of the land, the magister comes in. He catches parts of the last bits of information given out to the Chosen and shakes his head. "Madam Overlord, I beg your forgiveness but I must give you some bad news." He seems a little nervous in the presence of the Overlord and with her power in the city it would be obvious to most.
He steps up closer but not close enough to break etiquette or any other rules. "The portal to Plateau City is down at the current moment...something to do with dragons I do believe." His brows furrow as he tries to remember all of the details that he was given. "But I believe that I have a lead towards another way to get to Plateau City...just that the Chosen will have to be a little patient." He looks to the group hoping that they will understand and knowing that some of them may not.
Sorry have something better than a portal to get the group to Plateau City. :)
Toros Monday October 25th, 2004 9:25:31 PM
Toros is amazed with the view from the Palace balcony. He has not recognized that this place could be that much beautiful. Perhaps staying here a bit longer may not be that much a bad idea.
Flat-top Monday October 25th, 2004 11:53:54 PM
Flat-top bends his head and whispers into Brahmah's ear, "Hmmm! Do you think this has something to do with the scally wags in the alley? They didn't look happy to see these people so happy?"
Brahmah Tuesday October 26th, 2004 1:24:04 AM
OOC: Um, I assume we're headed to the Plateau City. :)
IC: Brahmah looks almost sick looking down from such a height. He steps back from the edge and blinks rapidly. "You are issolated, but honestly, those folks near the alley looked very uphappy to see the Chosen here, Madam Overlord. They make us nervous. I hear they may have been loyal to the Dark One." He nods to Flat-top.
"Overlord, the way we came into the city was a one way entrance from a village some distance off... it was a fast way to escape. We heard about your ophanage and decided this might be the best place for the Children and mothers. By the way, the two mothers might be of use to you here. One is a sorceress of some power and the other is quite a hand at cooking." He smiles. "Perhaps they can find jobs here?"
"Oh yes, the late old Gold Dragon called Rathyniag told us to use the portal we used to get here. That's how we came and found the orphanage. "
"You have been gracious. I feel bad that we seem to be in a hurry to leave... but the Dark One has eyes in our direction."
"As long as the Children are gaurenteed safe here, I trust the Overlord to the task." He smiles again.
"We can wait for the other portal if need be."
Leets Tuesday October 26th, 2004 2:55:44 AM
Leets considers the landscape with amazement, but also a little bit of sadness...
"Wow, Flat-Top! Look at those turltles! And the forest! So wide! I bet you would do marvels on the sea with such turtles!"
Leets is toughtfull for a couple of minutes, and finally says:
"This land reminds me of the lakes and forests and wild places I coul see from my mountains when I was a sheperd...I think I miss those times somehow."
"I hope we can go back home soon..."
Gecktar Tuesday October 26th, 2004 3:07:12 AM
Gecktar's mouth keeps wide open when he sees the amazing view from the balcony. This city is very spectacular, and this may be one of the reasons why Domi show them this way.
Gecktar Tuesday October 26th, 2004 3:07:12 AM
Gecktar's mouth keeps wide open when he sees the amazing view from the balcony. This city is very spectacular, and this may be one of the reasons why Domi show them this way.
Flat-top Tuesday October 26th, 2004 6:50:22 AM
Flat-top answers Leets, "Ahh! Yes But look at the plains, Where centaurs can run and kick their hooves." Then Flat-top become serious again, "It would be Bad if the Dark One would get a foot hold here!"
Kale Tuesday October 26th, 2004 7:04:11 AM
Kale moves over to Leets and whispers to him "Why are we going to Plateau City?"
Zeoll Tuesday October 26th, 2004 6:37:35 PM
Zeoll wonders which is closer to the Taur Isles, Plateau City or The Float. He asks the Overlord about this. "If the Float is closerr, I guess we'll just have to walk. Unless therre is a mage we could convince to scrry and teleporrt us home."
Awaiting the Overlord and Dinner. (DM Jim) Tuesday October 26th, 2004 11:16:15 PM
The magister takes a step back and then bows to the Overlord. "Madam...maybe we should retire for a little meal and talk over this some more." He does not make any moves to go anywhere or move from the area as he waits to see what will happen.
Taking some time to think over things he wonders if the Overlord may have any ideas as to how to get the Chosen to Plateau City. With a smile to the group he tries to give them a little hope. "I believe you might want to go to Plateau City or as close to there as possible....Captain Lira and the GossamerWing is located there." He hopes that this will give them some hope and reason to go there.
Alicia - The Overlord (NPC Jan) Tuesday October 26th, 2004 11:58:36 PM
"Oh dear," says Alicia as the man brings news of the defunct portal. "Unfortunately, it DOES happen from time to time. We're such a great distance from Plateau City, and perhaps distance is a factor. I don't understand magic too well, I'm afraid, and I'm hoping someone might teach me a little sometime." She fingers a thin, elegant bracelet on her left wrist for a moment, and smiles.
Looking back to the Taurs once more - "Well, the least we can do is play host for a little while, until this is settled. We have provided a buffet, and perhaps some of the other Level representatives will have some ideas."
To Zeoll - "We're currently to the far east of New Elenna. Now correct me if I have my geography wrong, but I thought the Taur Isles were to the west of Elenna. If that's the case - we're completely in the wrong direction. I suspect we're about as far from the Islands as we could possibly be."
She's obviously a little worried over talk about "the Dark Lord", too. "I hope this isn't a sign of his growing influence. We have enough problems already, with the jungle, and local politics."
Brahmah Wednesday October 27th, 2004 1:22:19 AM
"Yes, we are quite a ways from the Isles. West across Aisildur or the Lotophagi Ocean and then North-West to the Islands. But really, the Isles stretch further north up Kings Channel."
The minotaur ranger thinks a minute. "I guess you could go by land, through the Culverwood by way of the Red Hills... then there's always South-West along the coast of Izen and the Badlands. Ick. I'd rather travel the stormy seas." "Anyways, yah, we're quite a bit East of home."
"Actually, as it is, we can't go home without fear of prosecution for treason. We were Exiled. Solgrin here is the only safe one among the Chosen... but once he's seen with us, he's as good as dead." He looks at the newby within the Chosen. "Sorry, just thought you deserved fair warning friend." Brahmah grins.
"There are more places on Yrth we could go." He states rather abruptly.
(OOC: All my directions are done assuming we're travelling from New Elenna.)
Zeoll Wednesday October 27th, 2004 5:45:36 AM
"I hope you'll forrgive my ignorrance, seeing as I have only rrecently rreturrned frrom the Lands of Rrest. But who is Captain Lirra and the GossamerrWing?"
"And is therre no mage who could teleporrt us frrom this interresting city? Or perrhaps we could go purrchase a few scrrolls of teleporrting?"
"I am committed to going home as soon as we can -- but maybe we need to purrchase magic items so we can trravel therre incognito."
[OOC: a teleport scroll costs just 1125 gp; a hat of disguise, just 1,800 gp. Maybe after the next adventure that our good DM has planned, we can visit the Catacombs and do some group shopping.]
Kale d20+8=19 d20+8=15 Wednesday October 27th, 2004 6:52:16 AM
Kale, getting a bit bored, goes over to Flat-Top and tries to pick his friend's pockets, for practice(rolled a 19). then, he tries to put whatever he took back(rolled a 15) without Flat-Top ever noticing
Flat-top Wednesday October 27th, 2004 7:13:04 AM
Flat-top has far away eyes as he looks toward the sea. "The Black and his Assasines was beating our tails, on Minotaur Island, Captain Lirra, her crew and her Ship The Gossameer was the only ones to take to a safe island.
There we met a blind seere, who saw this place here where we could bring our packages to safety. He led us to the Gold Dragon, which we had to rid the Red Dragons and I belive thats where you and Kale came back to us."
Flat-top look around, "I am getting hungry! Maybe a Salad and a bowl of Oat Meal, Will quite my hunger?"
Flat-top slowly advance to where the half Orc is standing, telling him "You know I'm beginning to like you!"
Flat-top tell Kale (only his friend will hear) "Your getting better, just a little more pratice."

Croc(ceil) Wednesday October 27th, 2004 7:35:37 AM
Croc is also restless, his master has been gone (to him) forever, and his skin is drying out. So he goes into the Temple's Holy Water Fountain. Now he has a very big smile on his face, he feel much better.
Gecktar Wednesday October 27th, 2004 9:14:57 AM
At the mention of a good meal, Gecktar remember that his stomac is empty... 'A banket organized, well fine let's go have a lunch' does he think.
[OOC : Hi Zeoll, I've not such amont of money :) But maybe do we have to make some sacrifice to be able to buy those items... Not a bad idea at all]
A Time to Eat. (DM Jim) Wednesday October 27th, 2004 8:09:38 PM
Terran enters the upstairs area and cuts a bow to the Overlord as he pulls at his collar. "The meal is ready if you are m'lady." He waits patiently near the stairs leading back down, as etiquette demands.
The magister also moves to the stairs but stops and waits off to the side of them. "Maybe Dolores would be a good one to take care of the Chosen while they are here and get them to Plateau City..." He clucks his tongue as he lays his hand to his head. "No that is something best left for talk later." It appears that he is backpedaling as if he has overstepped his bounds.
Brahmah Thursday October 28th, 2004 1:28:18 AM
"Sooner we're gone, the better I think."
Leets Thursday October 28th, 2004 3:06:06 AM
Leets answers Kale as they prepare for the dinner:
"Why are we going to Plateau City??? That's a good question...I guess it's because it's our only exit door from this place...And finally, we were searching for influent clergymen of Domi to clear our situation. Maybe we'll find some in Plateau City..."
Flat-top Thursday October 28th, 2004 6:55:07 AM
Flat-top now trot behind Brahmah but beside Kanchana, "Come! Kitten, Let's go eat. I'm hungry and beside you have to feed your Elder."
Kale Thursday October 28th, 2004 10:28:56 AM
not really hungry, Kale follows the others as he nods to Leets response
Zeoll Thursday October 28th, 2004 1:47:04 PM
To just his fellow Taurs, Zeoll whispers in Tauric, "I rreally think that this idea I just had about buying teleporrt magic and magic disguises is the best way to get home. So ourr next mission is to get the gold we'll need to pay for it. This Overrlady seems nice enough -- maybe we can accomplish some quest forr herr, a well-paying quest."
In common, Zeoll simply says, "Well, I think taking the time to dine would be the least we can do in orrderr to show ourr grratitude forr the hospitality we have been shown."
To the Feast. (DM Jim) Thursday October 28th, 2004 8:44:33 PM
The magister follows along behind the Overlord and off to her right side. He pauses at the doors of the banquet hall to allow all to pass before him. He then enters and takes a seat near the Overlord so as to be at her call.
Terran is in attendance as well as he pulls out the Overlords chair for her. "Food has been prepared to fit everyone's tastes." Taking a step back from the chair he claps his hands several times and the servants start to file in with dishes.
Terran - Overlord's Aide (NPC Jan) Thursday October 28th, 2004 9:01:49 PM
Terran grins at Flat Top after his comment. He's beginning to relax a bit. There's no obvious danger to the Overlord, so he's happy enough.
His face changes at the Magister's comment about "Dolores", though, and his eyes narrow for a moment. He settles for a hard-edged stare at the Magister.
Zeoll d20+9=25 Thursday October 28th, 2004 10:21:06 PM
At the meal, Zeoll digs in! He especially enjoys the wild game -- waterfowl, deer, boar. He offers some choice pieces to Flat-top -- "Trry this one, it's good!"
He says to Leets, trying to be subtle, "What do you think about the tension between Terrran and the Magisterr?" -- Zeoll is using his bluff skill [Check 25!] to communicate a secret message to the paladin -- are either of them evil?
In a peaceful moment, if he can do so quietly, he says to Alicia, "Excuse me, Overlorrd, but I wanted to say that we deeply apprreciate yourr kindness to us. If therre is anything we can do to thank you, please just ask."
Flat-top Friday October 29th, 2004 3:04:21 AM
Flat-top advances at the table, He spots trouble here already? The chair are for human and NOT for Centaurs. "Oh! Well there's only one way to do this woth out offending the Overlord. Flat-top takes the chair and put it up against the nearest wall. He bows the her, explaining "You see Centaurs do not fit in chairs, we eat standing. Same way when we sleep, we lead some place solid, then fall to sleep. You see when a center sits, we are very ill, and when a centaur reclines, he's usaly dead. That is our nature. Let's eat this wonderful food."
Flat-top is enjoying the feast, when Zeoll offers him some flesh (of some kind), he thanks the old Tom Cat, then whispers to Kanchana, "Here! Kitten, can you swallow this?"
Brahmah Friday October 29th, 2004 3:17:20 AM
Stein of ale in hand, ham-hock in the other, he talks more with everyone around him. He makes a point to get to know Solgrin better and his abilities.
"Terran, you ever sail on the open sea?"
Leets d20+3=12 Friday October 29th, 2004 3:24:02 AM
Leets is glad Flat-Top does something about the chairs. He pulls away his own chair, and considers the food.
"Managarm - he says to the dog - we'll have to behave very, very well, ok?"
Once the feast has begun, the Centaur paladin takes a piece of fresh bread, and gladly tastes it. However, he almost shokes with the bread as he hears Zeoll's question (Sense Motive 12...).
"The...tension between the Magister and the Terran? Oh! Well...Considering the complexity of politics in such a huge city, I would think it's unavoidable...."
Thoughtful, Leets glances strangely at Zeoll:
*What happens to you???*
Gecktar Friday October 29th, 2004 3:37:57 AM
Gecktar take place around the table, thanks Domi for his greatness and his prodigality and begin to eat.
Managram(ceil) Friday October 29th, 2004 7:37:13 AM
Managram come out from under the table, at the mention of his name. With expactation he is about to get some food?? But his (almost) smile goes away, 'Be a good dog, say the Master. I know that I'm a special dog, But I like a nice bone once in a while'
Poor Managra, goes back under the table and mumbles under his breath, 'Gruff'
Paw'caw(ceil) Friday October 29th, 2004 7:43:20 AM
Paw'caw returns from her flight, she has a little bit of blood on her beek, So Brahmah knows that she's been hunting.
She look around, to check on her master. Then she off again, to a place she loves the best, Flying high into the sky, making lazy eights.
Elder(ceil) Friday October 29th, 2004 7:53:06 AM
Elder exit his little den, takes a good look around, He's really please with himself because pick up something nice and pretty for Mommy.
He like what he sees, there's the horse butt sitting next to Mama, "Oh look what he's holding? A piece of good looking stuff."
Elder is out of the pouch, onto the table, smaches the piece of meat from Flat-top, then snaches a piece of leafy stuff, Back into the pouch and munches away. "Hmm! Hmm! Good!"
Roz(ceil) Friday October 29th, 2004 7:58:33 AM
Roz flies into the room looking for her master, she spots him. She flies to him, rub her head on his cheek and then goes to her hidding place ~~ Tee Hee ~~ she chuckles. (only Solgrin get the mental message.)
Croc(ceil) Friday October 29th, 2004 8:06:10 AM
There chaos at the temple, But most of the monk thinks it's funny to have this animal in the fountain, after all he's not harming anybody. Croc swims very slowly around, with only his eyes and nose sticking out of the water.
He's watching the monks thinking to himself 'If they put me out of this swimming place, Master or No Master! I'll bite them!"
Kale Friday October 29th, 2004 9:43:09 AM
Kale just picks at a few fruits and some bread, but otherwise doesnt eat anything. he keeps scanning the room looking for trouble
A Lesser of Two Evils. (DM Jim) Friday October 29th, 2004 8:42:12 PM
The magister takes in the glare with the normal stride of one that is use to this sort of thing. "I do not like her anymore than you do...but it is the lesser of two evils." He glances to see if the Overlord is paying close attention to his conversation with Terran. Satisfied that she appears to be occupied with her guests he speaks again. "Besides it will allow us to keep an eye on her and I am all in favor of that." He takes a seat with the others and eats sparsely as he listens to those around him.
Brahmah Saturday October 30th, 2004 5:33:37 AM
"Huh?" Perhaps the minotaur didn't hear right.
"You dislike your Overlord?" He says, chewing on a ham leg, totally unaware of his lack of etiquette.
Zeoll Saturday October 30th, 2004 8:31:01 AM
[Ceil, I thought I left Croc at Solgrin's house. Did he follow us to the temple? Poor lonely Croc!]
After eating so much meat so fast, Zeoll puts a hand on his tummy. "I hope you folks will excuse me," he says. He makes a quick exit from the banquet, seeking a private nook of a certain sort.
Paw'caw(ceil) Saturday October 30th, 2004 8:46:02 AM
Paw'caw flies in the lazy eight patern, when Shes is joined by beautiful Golden Eagle. There in the sparkling blue sky they soar toghther.
Managram(ceil) Saturday October 30th, 2004 8:51:23 AM
Managram as he is eating the meat off this bone, looks to Leets, 'Hump! I Sir, am alway on my good behaver!' Then goes bach chuwing and slurping his food.
Elder(ceil) Saturday October 30th, 2004 8:57:50 AM
Elder though that the food in Flat-tops dish was very tasty, so out of his pouch and he sits in frout of Kanchana place at the table. When Flat-top look away, the weasel grab a few of the tender leaves, the it's back into the pouch to eat his catch.
Roz(ceil) Saturday October 30th, 2004 9:04:40 AM
Roz in in her hiding place, feeling very secure. When she gets a sence that there is something going on between the Magister and the one they call Terrain. ~~I wonder how I can tell my Master?~~
Croc(ceil) Saturday October 30th, 2004 9:14:41 AM
[Cayzel, you might have done that, but poor Croc went looking for a body of water for his skin. he followed what he though your scent, and wound up in the Temple's big Fountain. Crocs are very single minded and very hard to train]
Crock smiles that famus lizard smile of his and swims in the fountain (and if there was ant fish in the flowing Fountain, they are all gone now). 'I'll swim for another hour, then I'll take a nap in the sun.
Flat-top Saturday October 30th, 2004 9:25:07 AM
Flat-top watches this little thief of a weasel, steal some of his salad and goes back to hide in Kanchana's pouch. A few minuts later, out he comes again, sit in frount of his mistress, watching him. When the pest think he's safe, he steals some of his salad.
Flat-top think of a plan to teach a leson to this little pet. So he call one of the servants and ask him "Do you have a Veggie called Cherry Pepper? Either a Green one or a Red one will do??"
Alicia - Overlord (NPC Jan) Saturday October 30th, 2004 11:58:46 PM
"No really, it's wonderful to meet you all. An honour," Alicia says to Zeoll with a smile, before the liontaur nips off to the loo. "There's no need to do anything, honestly. Although perhaps..." subconsciously she fingers the bracelet once more. "If, on your journey, you encounter the Storm Dragons, I'd would love to have word sent to me, on how they are faring, and if they are well." Sigh. "It's a dangerous world out there."
Terran - Overlord's Aide (NPC Jan) Sunday October 31st, 2004 12:13:35 AM
Terran's half orc face creases into a frown. Leaning forward he looks at the Magister, then glances toward the Overlord briefly, making sure she isn't listening.
He speaks quietly. "Keep an eye on 'Dolores'?" he emphasizes that last word. "You don't know who you're dealing with, do you. Oh - and you DO realize that if she overheard you calling her by her first name and not her proper title, you're liable to have your skin flayed off, or worse. The Lady Solara is a stickler for the proper etiquette. "Or... is there something going on between you two that I don't know about?"
His frown is replaced by a fearsome, mirthless grin. He glances at Brahmah, who's obviously heard the conversation.
Gecktar Monday November 1st, 2004 3:49:36 AM
Gecktar appreciate the lunch and the peaceful time theyhave for the moment. He knows that this is the calm before the storm.
They must be prepared to fight for their lives and their quest the unity of taurs.
He thinks to himself they should discuss about their next actions. He has to asks their captan what he is thinking about the course of actions. But this could be done later.
Kale Monday November 1st, 2004 9:16:38 AM
Kale says "I need to go to the bathroom. Where is it?"
Flat-top Monday November 1st, 2004 3:47:05 PM
"Gee I drank too much water." as Flat-top realise that he has to go too. "Wait a minut I'm going with you! Kale" But before he leaves he puts the cherry pepper in his salad. 'Now that will teach that little thief not to steal my salad.'
Flat-top leaves with Kale and a servant.
Paw'caw(ceil) Monday November 1st, 2004 3:53:02 PM
Paw'caw flies in beautiful circle with her boy friend the Golden male Eagle.
Managram(ceil) d20+5=21 Monday November 1st, 2004 3:58:33 PM
Managram is peacefuly crounches on the bone that Leets gave him, 'It's too quiet!' Managram thinks to himself, 'There's a lot of nervious toe tapping going on down here.'
Spot 21
Roz(ceil) Monday November 1st, 2004 4:05:06 PM
The little Flying lizard inches her head towards the openong of her hiding place. There she will watch the one they call Terran. The for some reason she begin to hum.
Elder(ceil) Monday November 1st, 2004 4:09:05 PM
Elder watches Flat-top trot off with Kale, 'OH! Look! he's leaving is salad? Maybe he's finish with it!' But the lettuce looks soo good, that he has a hard time controling the erge of taking a few leaves.
Croc(ceil) Monday November 1st, 2004 4:15:20 PM
The alligater has been swiming for hours, Now he wanted to sleep in the sun. So he swims faster and faster in a circle, then swims toward the edge. Then leaps out of the fountain, landing on the floor. The monks are all appauding at the trick he just made.
Crock slowly walks out of the temple, hefind a sunny spot in the middle of the lawn, he will now falls asleep.
The Magister. (DM Jim) Monday November 1st, 2004 4:46:22 PM
The magister looks to Terran and shakes his head. "There is nothing going on between us." He flinches with Terran's comment and looks around for a second. "When she is around I watch my tongue closely and as to keeping an eye on her...I know that is not completely possible, but we have to keep her out of as much trouble as possible." He shakes his head at the thought of keeping Dolores occupied for any length of time let alone if she has a mind to do something else.
He turns to Brahmah and shakes his head with an embarrassed look on his face. "No I do not mean the good Lady Overlord, but the one you will most likely be meeting very soon." He glances around to see who is close by and then speaks again to Brahmah. "Suffice it that you will do well to be leary of her." He says no more on the subject as he goes back to his food but with little appetite.
Brahmah d20+3=16 Monday November 1st, 2004 6:04:15 PM
Brahmah just nods in agreement with the Magester. (Sense Motive on the human 16)
He continues to eat and eventually gets full. He has another stein of ale and then cuts himself off.
"So this Dolores is seedy is she? Hmmm... well, is she human? Elven? What is it she does again?"
Toros Monday November 1st, 2004 8:16:34 PM
Toros struggles with his fourth round of eating, However he is determined to finish two more plates and break fast his feast record.
Zeoll Monday November 1st, 2004 9:25:21 PM
Zeoll returns, and seems impatient to be about the group's business. But what IS that business?
Is there a service the overlord might request? Is there some way to get out of this city? Zeoll shares his thoughts with the Chosen.

[OOC: Jim, can we assume that our recent Catacombs purchases have been delivered?]
Gecktar Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 2:49:01 AM
Gecktar, while eating and drinking reasonnaly, is talking to other dinner guests to learn more about the city.
Flat-top Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 7:06:37 AM
Flat-top takes on look at what these people call a previe. He complains to Kale, "It looks like you can fit in there, You only have two hoves. But I can't back in there, my body is too long! I cannot go in face first, I'll wet the floor out here!"
Flat-top shakes his head, "Ahh! Gee! Just show me a lawn and a few bushes and I'll do the rest."
Kale Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 9:02:55 AM
"I didnt really have to go." Kale tells Flat-Top. "I just wanted to get out of there."
Leets Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 12:14:53 PM
Leets tastes some wine, but still looks oddly at Zeoll...
He tries to enjoy this peaceful time of feast, but can't help but wonder if some evil isn't lurking...Maybe the food could be poisoned...Maybe it wouldn't be polite to wonder aloud...
Brahmah Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 4:56:04 PM
Brahmah simply continues to shovel in the food and drink. Not since the Keep has he had such a meal.
He continues to watch the people around him.
Toros Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 6:50:05 PM
OOC: Dear Jim, It will be interesting to think Toros as a trainee for being "Mendicant" Prestige Class.
A New Player. (DM Jim) Tuesday November 2nd, 2004 7:35:25 PM
A young woman enters the banquet hall and looks around with a rather uppity look. She only gives the group a once over before she comes to stand next to where the Overlord is seated. "Overlord...I hear that you have need of me?" She keeps the contempt just barely out of her voice and maybe by chance you may hear it.
She does not bother to look at the others that are in the room as if they are beneath her. The magister shakes his head and mutters under his breathe before standing and bowing to the Overlord. "Please excuse me so that I can make reservations for the Chosen at the Giggling Ghost." He then leaves at a nod by the Overlord.
Terran slips into the shadows of the room and tries to make himself scarce. Part of it is that he does not like the young woman and the other part is to hide his stance of contempt for her.
Consider everyone to have their equipment that they have recently purchased in the Catacombs. I thought that I had gotten to everyone but must have missed a few. Sorry about that.
Jan - One last post here if you want and then I will take over for the rest. It was great to have you along for the ride. Hope you enjoyed it as well. Thanks for the assist with the Overlord and Terran.
Brahmah Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 1:06:49 AM
Brahmah stops eating and looks up from his food. "Giggling Ghost? Reservations? Why?"
Gecktar Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 2:44:06 AM
Gecktar talk to Leets in a whisper : "What is the Giggling Ghost ? And why should we have a reservation there ? Do you know something about that ?"
Brahmah Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 3:01:32 AM
"The Ghost is a famous Inn, but why are we going there?"
Leets d20+1=20 Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 3:03:04 AM
Leets wonders what the newcomer means (Int check 20), and then answers Gecktar:
"From what I remember, the Gigling Ghost is some kind of magic things store...Of course, if they have magic portals there, or powerful enough spellcasters they can probably send us where they want...Or where we want"
Flat-top Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 4:48:58 AM
Flat-top look at Kale, answering him, "Oh! Great! I'll bet you enjoyed seeing me try to put my hind end into that previe? Well Let's go into the garden So that I can really go!."
Flat-top and Kale takes off to the beautiful garden.
Kale Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 9:48:27 AM
"Sure, ill make sure no one disturbs you." Kale tells Flat-Top as they go to the garden
Alicia - Overlord (NPC Jan) Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 10:51:51 AM
"Ah, Lady Solara. I thought it only proper that the Gold level have the task of making sure our friends from the Taur Islands are given everything they need. I believe their main priority is to find passage elsewhere, and right now the portal is down. Can you help them?"
Zeoll Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 5:02:26 PM
Zeoll seems to remember hearing of the Giggling Ghost -- but wasn't that just a dream?
He bows and says to the newcomer, "Hello! We arre especially pleased to have you to help us. Ourr thanks!"
Lady Solara. (DM Jim) Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 7:08:03 PM
Lady Solara gives a nod to the Overlord and answers her. "It would be my pleasure to help them out...even get them home if it is in my power." Turning she takes in the Chosen for what would seem the first time. She shakes her head as you talk of the GG and laughs ruefully. "The Giggling Ghost is an inn and you will find it suitable for even ones as yourselves." She shakes her head as she looks to the Overlord to say...can this be for real.
Glancing to Zeoll she gives him what may pass as a smile for some. "Well you should be honored...it is not seldom that I play babysitter." She smiles again as she nods to the Overlord one last time. "But for honored guests such as yourselves I cannot refuse." She moves to the doors leading out and waits somewhat patiently for you all to stand. "Come, we must go to the Giggling Ghost and speak of what it is you need of me." She also shakes her head as she sees the number is not quite right. "It seems we will need to pick up some missing Chosen as well."
Solgrin Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 8:32:58 PM
Solgrin looks at the others while listening to everything said then nods about going to the Giggling Ghost then follows the others.
Kanchana Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 8:38:35 PM
Kanchana listens while staying near Flat-top, then follows along with the others.
Zeoll d20+21=39 Wednesday November 3rd, 2004 8:40:19 PM
Zeoll thanks the Overlord again and then follows the Lady out. He says he is sure that Flat-top and Kale are just nearby.
He asks Solara as they walk, "Parrdon me, Lady, but we arre strrangerrs herre, and you seem verry knowledgeable. What is yourr station, herre, and your rrole? Why werre Terrran and the Magisterr trrading verrbal barrbs overr a perrson named 'Dolorres'? And honestly, why would you and the Overrlorrd want to help us? We had no idea any tale of the Chosen had rreached this farr-away city. Please forrgive me if I am too forrwarrd."
Zeoll tries to be diplomatic as he asks his questions -- check 39.
Leets Thursday November 4th, 2004 2:37:13 AM
The Centaur paladin prepares to leave and politely thanks the owner of the place for the feast.
"Oh! It looks like we're going to leave earlier than we thought! Finally, I wish we could have stayed a little bit more, even a couple of hours...I haven't met honorable clergymen of Domi for so long, and this place seemed to be peaceful, I wish I could have spent more time at the temple..."
Gecktar Thursday November 4th, 2004 2:39:10 AM
Gecktar stands up, to join the women. Before leaving, he bows before the Overlord : "Thank you for your welcome and your help Milady. The Chosen will not forget this."
Brahmah Thursday November 4th, 2004 3:01:54 AM
Brahmah stands by and watches the greetings, but holds his tongue. He simply nods to the lady.
Kale Thursday November 4th, 2004 6:42:07 AM
"Are you done yet?" Kale asks Flat-Top as 's searching for a place to go. "I think the others are leaving."
Flat-top Thursday November 4th, 2004 1:34:32 PM
Flat-top wanted to yell at kale but instead, as he look up. He see that the children are comming out of the palace. "Oh! Look! There coming out, Look like were leaving. Come On Kale let's see what up. Hump! I wonder if that little thief of Kanchana ever ate that cherry pepper?"
Flat-top will meet the group when they come out of the door.
Paw'caw(ceil) Thursday November 4th, 2004 1:56:32 PM
Paw'caw Flies in a tight pattern now, it seem to her that thins are changing around her master. She better go see if she's needed.
Managram(ceil) Thursday November 4th, 2004 2:05:07 PM
Managran has finish his meal and is now sleepy. So he makes himself very comfitable by taking a nap on his back. But was asleep just a few minutes or so it seems, when Leets got up and heahed for the door. So Managram followed. (with out being told.)
Roz(ceil) Thursday November 4th, 2004 2:09:28 PM
Roz settles in her cozy place around Solgrin's neck, and falls asleep but the odd thing this time she Humms(in rythem?)
Elder(ceil) Thursday November 4th, 2004 2:14:16 PM
Elder find that Flat-top's salad was very good and tries to get more out of the bowl. He's about to pick up what looks like a small tomato, but Kanchana picks him up and walks off with him. He's disapionted that he didn't get that tomato. (too bad because that was the hot Chery pepper that flat-top ask for.)
Crock(ceil) Thursday November 4th, 2004 2:26:53 PM
Crock is spraled on the lawn asleep "ZZZZZZZ"
Kanchana Thursday November 4th, 2004 3:31:44 PM
After taking Ilder away from his nearly finished meal Kanchana follows the others lead. She doesn't approve of Lady Solara's arrogant attitude, yet the druidess is remarkably able to keep her mouth shut. There would be no point in making people angry.
Lady Solara. (DM Jim) Thursday November 4th, 2004 6:03:05 PM
Lady Solara looks to Zeoll and purses her lips. "So they were, were they." Her eyes flash with supressed anger as she mutters to herself. "My first name is Dolores but I advise you not to use it...Lady Solara is my title." She ponders his others questions as she tries to decide what to tell him and then decides on the truth. "I am the representative of the Gold Level of the Floating City. I help make decisions when it comes to government and host dignitaries like yourselves." She steps out the door and spots the other Chosen off in the distance of the garden. Her frown and eyes speak volumns as she waves them over.
She walks towards the front gates as she gives another passable smile. "The Chosen are known in the Float as well as many other places I would suppose. As to why I would help you...the Overlord has ordered it. As to why she would help you...that is her own business." You can tell that she has her own thoughts on this and they are not neccessarily nice.
She leads you to a nice posh inn on the Gold Level? and enters with a flourish. She takes in the scene there and scowls down several people. In fact some of the shy away to go to their rooms, leave the establishment and just plain avert their gaze from her. Moving over to the innkeeper she gets a large private room that they all can meet in.
Toros Thursday November 4th, 2004 6:59:09 PM
Seeing that Lady Solara and Chosen are getting ready to go, Toros says good bye to the delicious dishes that have been accompanying him for the last a couple of hours. However, he does not forget to pick up some fruit to eat on the way. With a half eaten apple hidden in his paw, neither he forgets to greet the new Lady shyly.
Zeoll Thursday November 4th, 2004 8:51:51 PM
"Well, thank you forr yourr honesty, Lady. And forr yourr help. I hope that we will be able to rrepay yourr kindness."
[OOC: Welcome back, Eunice and Dominic! You were missed!]
Brahmah Friday November 5th, 2004 1:28:18 AM
Brahmah follows along, still not sure what to make of all the hospitality. This whole situation lost him hours ago. He says little other than introducing himself.
Gecktar Friday November 5th, 2004 2:36:37 AM
Gecktar feel nervous. He don't trust this Lady Solara. He don't know why but it is... He thinks that she will not directly betray them but she will not avoid to put them in a dangerous situation...
His instinct makes him verify all his equipment, armor he has recently bought, weapons, and every other gear.
Kanchana Friday November 5th, 2004 4:24:19 AM
Kanchana goes to the inn with the others. She is growing less and less fond of cities and their inhabitants as the minutes tick by. All of this unexpected hospitality is making her head spin. There is no reason why people who could care less about Taurs should be so nice to them. Then it comes to mind that perhaps they are just being 'corraled'. Kanchana rolls her eyes at the thought and determines to stay nearby Solgrin for the moment since he knows the city.

Managram puff out his chest as he trots beside his master, "moof! Moof!" he tell his master.
*I'll translate: 'Not to worry Master, I'm here to protect you!' That's as close as I can tell, because the dog has a soup bone in his mouth*

Elder is none too happy because he could not get another mouthfull of fruits and salad. But Kanchana know her pet pretty well by now. She had put some fruits and lettuce, then she put in something called corn and VEGGIES??.
But he love going along for the ride.

Croc(ceil) Friday November 5th, 2004 10:33:47 AM
Croc sleep the whole morning away, then wakes, sniffs the air. Something tell him that the taurs have moved?? So he slowly move to the lake, has some fish. then exit the other side of the lake, near the Inn.
Croc picks up his scent again (fresh too). So He'll picks a nice comfy place and sleep the rest of the day way. "ZZZZzzzz!"
(but at least he's near his Taur.)
