Sedar the Hungry Thursday August 12th, 1999 9:18:47 PM
"Thats very kindly of ypou mary, I most certainly will" sits down and begins with some idle conversation as he samples the food and drink."hmm very nice..."
K'isst Friday August 13th, 1999 8:30:00 AM
"Let's go by the inn and check on Sedar and then perhaps ask around there to see where else we can look. We either need a means to traverse the surface of the ocean as Branze had envisioned, or a way to breathe underwater for extended periods of time, which was how I saw things naturally being a Trog. Beyond knowing that with the right magic and stuff both or either should be possible, I don't know anything either. I am though beginning to get antsy about getting started. I just couldn't sit on that beach another second and watch them fool with that blasted toy. We've important things to do, like rescue that head! Even if it doesn't protect from dragons, it's magical and a symbol of safety to the people here. It's an honorable endeavor."
Draax Friday August 13th, 1999 8:30:01 AM
Walks to the inn with the others to check on Sedar.
Bill T d20=11 d20=11 Friday August 13th, 1999 8:30:02 AM
Bill gets the speargun from Rond, and has two arrows with him. "Rond, watch to see where the arrows go if they miss." He gets about twenty feet away from the target for the first attempt, and only ten feet on the second. [DM, help - did either hit?] He swims to retrieve the arrows.
DM Friday August 13th, 1999 8:30:03 AM
Rond watches Bill's shots ast they just clip the sides of the target the closer fired one ricochets off into deeper water the one fired from further away, sticks in to the edge of the target, it was just about out of ummph. Just after the others get to the Inn and get settled, a wiry elf wearing a GREEN cloak and with a long bow slung over his left shoulder enters. He looks road weary and in need of rest and a bath. (it is now right at 2:00 PM
Sedar the Mage Friday August 13th, 1999 11:27:05 AM
Welcomes his friends "Come sit ... foods good ... try the wine," Notices the tired elf, but says nothing, just nods in the direction to get his companions to take a look.
Branze Bones Friday August 13th, 1999 11:27:06 AM
::keeps eye on the new stranger:: "I hope they get here soon with the list so we can make haste to getting that head back." he says as he eats a light meal of soup and hard bread.
Draax Friday August 13th, 1999 11:27:07 AM
"Thanks Sedar I am hungry." Draax takes a sit at the table with Sedar expecting the others to sit also and begins to realize just how hungry he is. "With all the shopping and watching the target practice on the beach, I forgot all about lunch. What do they have that is already cooked?" As Sedar nods, Draax follows Sedar's eyes to the stranger in the green cloak. He whispers in a low voice. " I wonder where he is coming in from." Draax openly looks at the stranger and if the elf looks toward Draax, he will extend a greeting to the road weary stranger. "Greetings"
Bill T d2=1 d20=18 d6=5 Friday August 13th, 1999 11:27:08 AM
Bill swims to retrieve the ricocheted arrow, and manages to find it [rolled odd]. He comes up for breath, and grabs the other two. He backs up to fifteen feet from the target, and finally gets a solid shot off, nicely hitting the targe. His head pops up. "Did you see that?! Got it good!" He pulls out the arrow, takes a few minutes to detach the ropes, and swims in using the target as a float. He recoils his rope with the grappling hook, puts his shed clothing back on. He agrees with Rond. "You have to be kinda close, but that last one felt good. Let's get two spearguns, and a bunch of arrows, okay?" Should Rond agree, Bill will head to Ruthat's place, pay for two spearguns ("Or should we get three?" he asks Rond) and 30 arrows, then join the others at the inn.
Arien Silverbow Friday August 13th, 1999 11:27:09 AM
starts when he hears the greeting. Looking around he sees the stranger that spoke. "Greetings to you too, allow me to introduce myself. I am Arien Silverbow, I am fellow adventurer. Tell me, are the rooms good here and how's the food. I'm pretty tired and could use a good meal." The smell of the food reaches Arien and he grimaces as his stomach growls.
Rond Friday August 13th, 1999 12:34:24 PM
"I think these will be fine for now. Probably should join the rest of the group, and see what's going on" (agreeing with what was posted before, about getting these 2 and then heading towards the inn.
Draax Friday August 13th, 1999 12:34:25 PM
"Hail and well met Arien, my name is Andraaxius Slowblade, Draax to my friends. These are few of my friends and associates." Indicating the group at the table with him and Sedar. " I will let them make their own introductions. The rooms are nice and the food here is quite good, I was just about to order some myself." Draax looks to the others for approval before offering Arien to join them for a meal. "So where are you coming from, if you don't mind me asking? From the looks of you it must have been a long journey."
Sedar the Mage Saturday August 14th, 1999 10:55:16 AM
"sure, by all means sit down and join us .." The 1/2 elf states top the newcomer. "Draaxx is quite right about the food and logings here, ... sit down please, .... Sedar" he reaches a hand to the newcomer in greetings.
Arien Saturday August 14th, 1999 10:55:17 AM
takes a seat as he ponders where to start. "Well lets see, I was a part of a lucrative business situation, at least it was lucrative until things started going sour. Well it turned out we had a traitor in our midst. Well unfortuanetly for me I was framed. So being accused of being a traitor I decided it was time for a vacation and left. Well my former partners didn't like me leaving so they decided to come after me. To make a long story short, I lost them in the woods and was on my way when I lost my horse to a bloody Wyvern. It just swooped right out of the sky and carried it off so I've been on foot for the last week and a half. But now it appears my luck just might be turning around." Arien shifts in his seat a little and realizes he's only introduced himself to Draax. "I say, I forgot you fellows entirely. Pardon me, I was just feling a tad sorry for myself and well anyway I'm Arien Silverbow, pleased to meet you all."
Branze Bones Saturday August 14th, 1999 11:39:50 AM
"So, what does a Wyvern look like, what was your horses name, and why have you decided to come and chat with us?" he says with a stern face. "So did the Brother Hood of Doom send you to spy on us, or are you working for the dragons. Your timing in Showing up is a might to convienant." he says as he keeps focused on the elf as he awaits his words.
Arien Saturday August 14th, 1999 6:02:42 PM
"You mean you've never seen a Wyvern? Well then they're beastly lizards. They have wings of course else how could they fly. They had great big large nasty teeth that can rend your flesh in a moment. They're positvely covered in scales, I shot at the thing a few times and my arrows just bounced off its hide. My horse's name? Why would you want to know about poor old Wind Dancer? Not much left of that poor fellow I should say 'cept maybe a bone or two. Oh poor old Wind Dancer, I always liked that horse. Brotherhood of Doom you say well they sound like some nasty blokes, I'd not want to tangle with them I tell you. Dragons!! What Dragons?!?! Is it a rich one? I'd sure like to get my hands on a part of a Dragon Hoard, why then I could retire in style. Live the rest of my life in luxury. I can see it now a grand mansion, thousdands of servants at my beck and call why... ahem yes... well no I'd not work for any dragon I tell you the temptation of all that money why I couldn't handle it I tell you after all they are greedy beasts and well I hate to admit but I am fond of coin myself. If you don't want to talk to me I could move to another table after all, no need to bne where one isn't wanted, yolu just looked like a fellow who knew what was going on around here and I wanted to catch a little of the news to see if there were any possible business ventures thats all."
K'isst Sunday August 15th, 1999 12:33:40 AM
K'isst orders some of what the others are having and nods at the newcomer. She is lost in thought as she gobbles her food. She looks up Grog and asks him, "Innkeeper, we need to find some means of breathing underwater to go after that Sentinel Head. Do you have any ideas of where we should go to find such things?"
Bill T Sunday August 15th, 1999 3:00:39 AM
"Mr. Ruthat, sir, we're back. The speargun works great! We'd like to buy this one, and another one. Also, how much are they, and how much do the arrows for them cost? We'd probably want to buy about 30 arrows. Do you have special quivers for them? Maybe we should get 40 arrows, instead."
Galahad Quivelio Sunday August 15th, 1999 3:45:02 AM
Galahad sits beside K'isst, and orders some of the inns best wine. Looking at K'isst, he notices the distressed look on her face, "What might you be pondering about my good lady? Is it because we have not found any underwater devices for the water yet? I will pray to Alemi tonight, and ask a few questions, in hope that he will reply with the answers we seek." Taking the wine that the barmaid has brought him, Galahad pays his fee, and then sits back in his chair and listens to the conversations going on around him.
DM Sunday August 15th, 1999 3:03:56 PM
Bill and Rond make it back to Ruthat's just as the girl you saw earlier is exiting, infact she all but bumps into you as you enter. "Oh my, excuse me gentlemen. Oh you are whom I was going to see. I have a list for you and....Oh you liked the bows..... ::Ruthat bustles up:: Ok Missy give them the list and get back to your work. Ah well I guess you didnt want to wait until three, so two spearbows and 40 arrowspears, I'll throw in the quivers and half of the arrows for 65 gold. At the Inn, Arion is gathering quite a number of onlookers and listeners as he talks about the Wyvern, and his mention of Dragons gets a few warding signs and even more comments like Ahh, there aint no more dragons, they're all dead. And even a few comments like, yeah just think all those dragon hordes just laying there for the taking...all that gold. K'isst's question to Grog gets a thoughtful look and then a short answer of, Well, there's Ruthat of course but I think mostly the church, maybe Capt. Bearclaw, or some of the council members. or you might try the House of the Cyrstal Sphere. The other option might be to check with the under water fishermen. they are usually down near Dagger Rock and the Pier. Of course if Duke Ryanno hasnt left yet you might try his folk at their festival campsite. Oh, of course there is that Tristen Runilar, he might have some ideas. Though he can be a bit touchy at times and doest care for me at all.
Bill T Sunday August 15th, 1999 3:29:12 PM
"Wow! Thanks for the list Missy, Mr. Ruthat. It's not that we didn't want to wait until three, but that we finished trying out the spearguns and were so excited we couldn't wait. Well, I don't know, maybe you could've waited, Rond?" Bill looks over the list to see what it says. "Sixty five gold for spearguns, two quivers, and half of the 40 speararrows? Okay, but how much are the other half of the arrows?"
Galahad Quivelio Sunday August 15th, 1999 4:17:08 PM
Galahad gets up from the table that he was sitting at and speaks to K'isst, "I must pray to Alemi for some answers." Going to his room, Galahad quickly opens the window, and kneels at the floor, "God of Truth, Justice and Leadership, please answer my call. I know I have not prayed to you of late, for this, I am sorry. I have been quite busy helping my new found friends in their quest to help these town people, for they know not what they get themselves into. This is why I call upon you tonight. I must know, Alemi, the Supreme God of New Elenna, where might we find such devises that will alow us to breath and act underwater as if we were on land? Give me a sign dear Father. I ask for your hand in this time of confusion." Galahad finishes his praire, and then waits.
Sedar the Mage Monday August 16th, 1999 7:44:01 AM
Takes in the conversation with the newcomer , quite interested in Triple B's idea ' ...it may have some merit.'
Rond Monday August 16th, 1999 12:27:59 PM
"The gear will be here a little longer, we could always go find the others, and get this list of things taken care of. We should probably check in with the rest of the group and see what's going on."
Branze Bones Monday August 16th, 1999 12:28:00 PM
::waits for the list:: "Kisst if you could share that with all we can quickly make are preparations and leave. If this Wyvern has broken through, perhaps so soon will the dragons when they realize the barrier is down.
Bill Troublefinder Monday August 16th, 1999 2:36:26 PM
"Ah, you meant, I think," Bill says to Ruthat, "that for 65 gold, which would cover two spearguns and twenty speararrows, you're also included the two quivers and another twenty speararrows for no additional charge? If I understand correctly, thank you very much, and here's 65 gold pieces for you." Turning to Rond, he says, "Yes, you're right. Let's get this list to them, so we can decide together!" Taking his speargun, quiver and 20 missiles, Bill heads out with Rond. Over his shoulder he calls out, "Mr. Ruthat, we'll see you later! Bye, Missy!" And walks briskly back to the inn.
K'isst Tuesday August 17th, 1999 11:55:02 AM
"My gratitude Master Grog. That's quite a list, but it's likely what we need." She offers to tip him a few gold for his help. She turns back to the group. "I've have quite a list of places to check for the underwater gear etc. we need supplied by Mr. Grog here. I'm wondering if we should post a notice of what we're looking for and have all likely sellers approach us here. That might be faster. Also, I was concerned that we should do something to convince the council to take a more active stance on all of this. If the dragons come over the border, this town is going to be hurt bad. I wonder if there is a place of safety they can go to?"
Arien Tuesday August 17th, 1999 11:55:03 AM
::listens to the others at the table:: "Broken through what? What barrier? Why should dragons play any part in this at all? What's so important about some head that you have to go underwater for it?"
Draax Tuesday August 17th, 1999 11:55:04 AM
Listens to the talk around him and to a grumbling sound that he realize is his stomach. Looks around to get the attention of anyone serving food. "Can I get something to eat and drink please?"
DM Tuesday August 17th, 1999 11:55:05 AM
The serving girl responds to Draxx's comment with a slight shake of her head and then heads over to the table to see what she can get for those not already eating and drinking. At about 2:45 Rond and Bill enter the inn carrying the 2 spearguns and full quivers. About that tima as well the serving girl returns with food and drink for all, smiles and heads off to another table and then back into the kitchen. the list Bill and Rond bring back is basically the same but there is one name added, That of Ezmerelda Fipps. the major difference in the lists is that Ruthat's includes what the item was that he sold to the person. (will send email out)
Rond Tuesday August 17th, 1999 12:14:40 PM
"So what have you guys found out?!"
K'isst Wednesday August 18th, 1999 9:18:09 AM
"Grog gave me a list of places we could shop for underwater gear and magic. So if the list doesn't pan out we can try those places. That's all I know." K'isst turns to Bill. "Seeing you for some strange reason makes me think of pie." She turns to the waitress. "Do you have any pie?"
Bill T Wednesday August 18th, 1999 9:18:10 AM
"YYYYES!" exults Bill.
Sedar the Laughing Mage Wednesday August 18th, 1999 9:18:11 AM
begins laughing at the exchange that just took place between Bill & K'isst "pie for everyone then !"
Branze Bones Wednesday August 18th, 1999 9:18:12 AM
"THis is no time to laugh." he says with a stern face. "Let us go to each place on the list and gather the items with the coins we have left." he says as he stands up and motions to the door for the otehrs to follow.
Draax Wednesday August 18th, 1999 9:18:13 AM
As the serving girl bring the food. "Thanks, you are a lifesaver, I am starving." Draax takes a peak at the list while stuffing his face with the food that was brought. In between mouth fulls draax tries to talk. "I agree with brother Branze we should get to that as soon as I finish eating." He continues to eat the meal placed before him, humming to himself.
DM Wednesday August 18th, 1999 5:20:44 PM
At roughly 3 O'clock and as you are all finishing eating you hear a horn blowing in the near distance which is suddenly cut off in mid blast. About two minutes later you hear many screans of terror coming from outside the inn and every so often the windoes go dark as something blocks the sun. A woman rushes in through the door, with a child in her arms that is covered in blood, screaming the DRAGONS have come, we are all doomed and then she collapses.
Rond Wednesday August 18th, 1999 5:26:51 PM
mumbles "never a dull moment" as he grabs his gear and heads outside to see what is going on.
K'isst Wednesday August 18th, 1999 6:39:00 PM
K'isst, used to being obeyed in emergency situations at home, wheels on Grog. "Do you have a cellar? Get everyone down there now! Please! If one of those beasts decided to perch here or breath here or whatever else they do, people will die!" She draws her sword then and races outside with Rond. She wears a face of calm terror.
Branze Bones Wednesday August 18th, 1999 6:39:01 PM
::was outside:: Looks up to teh sky to see if indeed the dragons have broken through the barrier.
Draax Wednesday August 18th, 1999 6:39:02 PM
Draax Hears the word Dragons and quickly looks up to see everyone running around panicking. After seeing Rond and K'isst running toward the door. Draax grabs his gear and runs after them. "Great just Great."
Galahad Quivelio Wednesday August 18th, 1999 11:32:06 PM
Galahad, hearing the comotion outside (Through his open window), quickly gathers what little gear he has, and heads outside, only to find that K'isst, Draax, and Branze have gathered together, looking into the sky. "What is going on? All I heard was a woman screaming. Is something wrong?" Galahad quickly scans the area for any signs of danger.
Sedar Wednesday August 18th, 1999 11:36:11 PM
Completely agreeing with Draaxx ,the 1/2 elf follows his friends outside.
Bill T Thursday August 19th, 1999 12:35:43 PM
He concurs with K'isst, and encourages the people at the inn to head into the cellar. "Grog, it might be a good idea to put water on the roof and the outside walls, if you can get some people to help. I'm going outside to see what's happening. The rear exit is this way, right? My friends are checking the front, I want to check the other side." Bill heads out the back door to see what he can see from there.
DM Thursday August 19th, 1999 3:47:19 PM
those of you who are outside or have gone outside, see nothing but a few very dark clouds passing over, the few pannicky people in the street have quieted down and are looking up at the sky. Others are coming out from buildings saying, "Where are the dragons", I want to see the dragons", I told you the dragons arent real, they dont exist." A few moments later a couple of the militia come rushing up from uptown, breathing hard and half armed, " Ok where are they".
Bill T Thursday August 19th, 1999 8:06:29 PM
Bill runs back into the inn, to the woman who collapsed with the blood-covered baby. He gets out a healing potion. Checking over the baby, he checks to see if it is alive. He will dribble some of the potion into the infant's mouth. Based upon what he observes, he will give the child more if it seems appropriate and helpful (but no more than a third to a half of the vial, as he does not want to administer an overdose to such a wee one). He also looks at the woman to see if she is injured. If so, he'll use the remaining portion of the potion for her benefit.
Galahad Quivelio Thursday August 19th, 1999 9:42:34 PM
Galahad looks out into the sky in thought, "If there are dragons, that means that there must be a lair of some sort. A lair filled with magical items of all kinds." Still in thought, Galahad tries to straighten his mind to be more realistic.
Sedar Thursday August 19th, 1999 10:21:35 PM
"Well, who sounded the alarm first ? ,,, and from where ?" he steps of into the street and begins to search the skies as he walks.
Draax Thursday August 19th, 1999 10:21:36 PM
Draax scans the skies looking for the dragons. When he doesn't see any, he sighs in relief praying that it was a false alarm. Draax continues to look up into the sky until he sees the dragon(s) or he is sure that no dragons are coming.
Branze Bones Thursday August 19th, 1999 10:21:37 PM
"Lets make haste and get these items gathered people already start to panic. Even if it is not true we must get it back for the cities moral." he says lloking at the skies but walking towards Tristans Rulinars home.
K'isst Saturday August 21st, 1999 7:57:18 AM
Goes back in with Bill to see about the woman. She muses, "Who would want to set a false alarm about the dragons? Or was it a false alarm? I heard they can turn invisible sometimes and do other magic."
Rond Saturday August 21st, 1999 7:57:19 AM
Rond will continue moving to where the horn is stored, to look at why it stopped in mid-blast.
DM Saturday August 21st, 1999 7:57:20 AM
As Bill checks the girl he sees that all the blood seems to be coming from a shallow scalp wound that looks like it was caused by a large bird, Nothing very serious and will easily heal by itself in severl days. The woman has no apparent wounds and looks like she passed out from Hyperventilation. Those still outside see no sign of dragons at all. When you get to the signal horn near sentinal point you find the four guards. One has a wicked scalp wound which looks like it was inflicted by a large bird of pray. The other three are tending his wounds and laughing at the wounded guard. How could you mistake those eagles for dragons? and then to fire on them...hahahah... well I guess they showed you. And then blowing the horn like that... The captain is going to have your hide, or at least as much of it that the eagles left you. Hahahahahahaha (the guards have obviously been hitting the alcohol and are quite tipsy)
Branze Bones Saturday August 21st, 1999 7:57:21 AM
Continues on to Tristans Rulinars home. ::Knocks at the door, when it is answered. "Sir, we have a mission of dire urgency and we need to purchase or borrow your cloak of the manta ray. Would you be wiling to part with it?
Galahad Quivelio Saturday August 21st, 1999 12:54:50 PM
Galahad, seeing that there is no "serious" danger, returns to his room and continues to pray to Alemi for the answers to his questions.
Arien Saturday August 21st, 1999 8:07:22 PM
(OOC: Sorry about the lack of post, I've just now gotten myself situated in my dorm enough to go exploring for the computer labs. Dang this Ethernet is fast! I could have posted earlier if I had my laptop but alas, it looks like I'm gonna need to use the warranty on it cause the hard drive is busted)::Crawls out from underneath the table.:: In his exhausted state Arien's first response to the women's screaming of dragons was panic. "I must be more tired than I thought" Arien thinks to himself as he retrieves his bow. Arien walks outside with a knocked arrow (just in case) and walks over to where his new aquatances are. "Ok exactly why is everyone here so scared of dragons, odds are you'll never see one. I mean I know that story about the wyvern probably scared these common folks but that woman never heard it. I plan to start a business here and I don't want any dragons or whatnot ruining it so I'd like to know what is going on here."
Draax Saturday August 21st, 1999 8:07:23 PM
Draax looks over at Arien surprised to see him. "I was wondering what happened to you, I thought you ran out the back with some of the others. Well about the dragons, most people are scare of dragons because of the city's ancient history. I am not sure of the whole story you will have to ask one of the local for the exact facts and history. The only thing that I am sure of is that the statue that was stolen was supposed to be a ward against the dragons' return. Now that the head is gone, some believe that the dragons will return. Wish I could stand here and talk to you all day, but I have to catch up with my friend. After you rested or do whatever you need to do, maybe we could chat again, I would love to here about your travels." Draax hurries to Tristans Rulinars home trying to catch up with Brother Bones.
Rond Saturday August 21st, 1999 10:06:13 PM
Rond will return and pass on the information he heard about the eagles.
Arien Sunday August 22nd, 1999 9:22:48 PM
"Hmm.. This sounds rather serious. Tell you what, if you and your friends will allow me to rest for a while I would like to discuss this matter with you. From what I've heard it sounds like you and your friends plan to go after this statue head. I would like to help out if possible."
Bill T Monday August 23rd, 1999 1:51:36 AM
Seeing the baby's scalp wound is superficial, Bill will go ahead and place a few drops of the healing potion on the wound, but save the bulk of the potion. He wipes the blood off the baby. He elevates the mother's feet, and tries to make her comfortable. "Ma'am. Um, Ma'am. Your baby is all right now. The attack has stopped. Hello." If she begins coming around, he will do what he can to sooth her, and ask, "What did you see out there?" If she mentions dragons, he does not discount this, but comments, "There are reports of many eagles," and gauges her response to this.
Sedar Monday August 23rd, 1999 12:39:10 PM
Will return to the Inn after upon hearing that the alarm was false.
K'isst Tuesday August 24th, 1999 11:49:11 AM
Arios, we haven't turned down anyone yet. We seem willing to take on anyone who wants to risk their lives each and every moment of their existance. [weak grin] I know the last few days, it's been non-stop. I don't know about before then. This group hasn't been together a week yet." She sits at a table and thinks. "Yaknow folks, there has to be something to that head. If it was of no importance, why did the Sea Devils steal it? It was important enough for them to risk their lives. The legends say that most dragons are locked up magically in Dragon Bay here and that this Sentinel here along with others elsewhere, keep the dragons "at bay" so to speak. I wonder if the Sea Devils have had their fill of the creatures and stole the thing to get rid of the dragons? Or did they steal it for it's powers? Whether it really protects the town and parts west and south from dragons or not is interesting but not as important as the fact that the thing is valuable enough to steal. That means it doew have power or importance. This town is known for it's "crises" times. This seems to be a continuation of that Mengor thing." She then calls for a drink and thinks a bit more.
DM Tuesday August 24th, 1999 11:49:12 AM
Mother > They fle they had claws they were big ..they were dragons I say...OOHhhh my Baby .... baby > Wawawawaaaaaa..... about this time Capt. bearclaw comes striding into Grog's, looks around, sees you all and heads your way. "What is all this i hear about Dragons? Branze gets about to where the directions he could find told him and as he is about to step onto the wooded path an elven voice from above and behind calls out. Can you give me one good reason why I should let you live? This is my land and i dont want to be disturbed.
Draax Tuesday August 24th, 1999 11:49:13 AM
Draax continues on his way to Tristans Rulinars' place trying to catch up with brother Branze.
Arien Tuesday August 24th, 1999 11:49:14 AM
"Very well, it seems as though you are not totally prepared, is there something I can help with or may I rest?"
Galahad Quivelio Tuesday August 24th, 1999 11:49:15 AM
Wondering why he has not received an answer from his god, Galahad continues to pray, asking the same questions again, hoping to receive some type of sign as to what to do.
Branze Bones Tuesday August 24th, 1999 11:49:16 AM
"So dragons to come through the barrier now that the sentienal has been destroyed and burn your home down. Hows that for a reason. You want to try and kill me any go for it, ill laugh from the heavens as i watch your own action destroy your home. We are trying to regain the sentinal and need to breath water. We where told you had a item that was capabale of such. I can offer in return a potion that allows you to climb some gold as well as my flying disk. I am Branze Bones, now if you wish to kill me begin." he says waiting to see what effect his speach had on the unseen tristan.
Rond Tuesday August 24th, 1999 7:55:54 PM
"I don't see how it's related just yet. Has there ever been an attack by eagles before?"
Bill T Tuesday August 24th, 1999 9:07:01 PM
Bill tells the distraught woman, "My, oh, my. I'm sure their claws were big. But look, ma'am, your baby is okay. Uh, what's your baby's name? Look, no more bleeding! It was just a scratch, thank Donyra, or whoever you want to. Here, Mama, just rock your child a bit ... yeah, dearie, calm down. It's okay, your mama's with you..." / Bill steps over to Capt. Bearclaw. "Hello, sir. This woman here reported seeing dragons with, uh, big claws. Her baby had a slight wound on the scalp, but should be okay. We saw the light into the tavern darken once or twice, as though a large, uh, something blocked some of the light. Folks on the streets say it was eagles. We didn't really see anything directly ourselves."
Sedar Tuesday August 24th, 1999 10:43:11 PM
Hearing the discussion going on he approaches Arien " How far out of town were you attacked by the so called wyvern ?"
Arien Tuesday August 24th, 1999 11:36:23 PM
"Hmm... I'm not sure of the exact distance but I'd say no more than a half days walk through the forest. That would not be far at all for our reptilian friends and thier wings. However I doubt these flying beings were dragons." ::Turning to the woman:: "Where was the child when it was attacked?"
DM Wednesday August 25th, 1999 7:12:11 AM
Galahad gets the feeling that something has been interfering with his prayer attempts but after awhile gets a feeling of peaceful calmness that everything will be ok and that aid is near.
Bearclaw Wednesday August 25th, 1999 7:14:38 AM
Ahh.. I see and who was it who sounded the alarm horn? When he finds out about the guards, he asks that you stay where he might find you and heads off with three other guards.
Mom Wednesday August 25th, 1999 7:19:20 AM
As the mother revives and becomes more aware she sees her child is alright, grabs Bill in a one armed hug and plants a sloppy kiss on his face. She then says that Ga'alistra is her Daughter's name and that they were on the road back from the point when they were attack. "were they really eagles and not dragons? Ohh I feel so silly. slowly she gets up and finds a chair to sit on and starts nursing her baby.
Mom Wednesday August 25th, 1999 5:24:02 PM
Tristen :: drops out of the treesbow and arrow in hand:: So they have come to their senses and are going to send someone after the sentinel head after all. That is good news indeed. ::heavy sigh:: I was afraid that they were just going to ignore the legends as being old wives tails. Even so, it would be nice to be asked for aid as opposed to being intruded upon. ::mutters:: but that is humans for you. So you want to borrow my old cloak? Well I'm not at all sure it is fully functional, but you are welcome to borrow it, though I do expect its return. If you lose it, well, You can either choose to replace it or pay me what I, myself, paid for it. Is that fair enough? Drax catches up to Branze during his conversation with the Tristen.
Galahad Quivelio Wednesday August 25th, 1999 5:40:37 PM
Galahad, after completing his praiers, returns to the the remaining group members to find out what is going on.
Bill T Wednesday August 25th, 1999 9:31:50 PM
Bill suffers the sloppy kiss goodnaturedly. "Glad you two are all right," he says to the mamacita. / "Captain Bearclaw? It may be that no dragon attack has yet occurred, but we think that we must not wait too long before recovering the head of the Sentinel." Bill quickly lets him know the suggestions given so far on who may have artifacts useful to their quest. "Do you have, or know of who else might have anything to help us survive and fight in the underwater domain?" / Bill will listen to Bearclaw's response, and suggest the party go forth in pairs to speak to the various parties. "Oh, and Captain, is there anyone else who might help us 'gather the goodies' quickly, so we can make haste to help our fellow citizens and thwart our foes?"
Sedar Wednesday August 25th, 1999 9:52:51 PM
Thats a terrific idea bill "we should be albe to cover more doors that sure... lets get the show on the road then............ looking forward to a good nights rest before we launch off on our next expedition tomorrow"
K'isst Thursday August 26th, 1999 6:33:21 PM
"That sounds good. Galahad, want to team up? Who has this list? Give us a place to go and I'm there." ::K'isst grins at Bill's masterful handling of things and nods her head at him::
Bill T Thursday August 26th, 1999 6:52:26 PM
"Thanks, K'isst," he blushes. Looking at the list, Bill the halfling addresses his friends. "Hey, what if we do this? Maybe, Rond, you and I can visit the Hag at The House of the Crystal Sphere - she has a broach. And maybe the Chapel of Mittiri for potions? Oh, there's Ezmerelda Fipps and her ring. / How about Sedar and Arien look up Duke Ryanno at their festival campsite about the First aid chest? Hmmm, looks expensive! When you're done there, do you think it would be a good idea to swing by Berik Andovin's place, and ask about his Bracelet of - of whatever? / And K'isst, you want Galahad to go with you, then? Sounds good. How about if you go talk to the underwater fishermen by Dagger Rock and the Pier for the trident, or whatever else they might have? If you have time, you could see what kinds of rings Lothar has. / Where are Branze and Draax? Well, I'm sure they're busy doing something or other. / There's that Tristen Runilar with the manta ray cloak. Say, Capt. Bearclaw, if you see Branze or Draax, could you ask them to look up Mr. Runilar? Hey, did you know your name is on this list that Mr. Ruthat gave us? He said you might have something that could help us. Do you want to come along?" Looking again at the list, Bill asks, "Oh, and who wants to see what kind of scrolls or other things the Chapel of Wardd might have?"
Arien Thursday August 26th, 1999 7:43:23 PM
"Expenisive you say? Well sure I'll go and check it out. Who does this thing belong to? Duke who? Oh never mind I'm sure it won't be important. Well Sedar lets get going, the sooner we retrive this chest the sooner we get to sleep!"
Draax Thursday August 26th, 1999 7:43:24 PM
Draax comes upon Branze and Tristen just as Tristen says 'You can either choose to replace it or pay me what I, myself, paid for it. Is that fair enough?' Draax cuts into their converstion " Hey, Branze, I am glad that I finally caught up with you, sorry to interrupt you conversation. From what I gathered on my way here, the attack on the little girl was actually eagles." Draax turns to Tristen. You must be Mr Runilar, well-met sir. My Name is Andraaxius, by what I caught of the conversation you are having with me friend Branze here. He must have already told you about reason that we sought you out. Your offer sounds more than fair to me sir. I am sure that the other members of our party will agree also. May I inquire to how much you paid for the cloak?"
Branze Bones Friday August 27th, 1999 6:02:09 AM
"I will give you my flying disk, to proove i plan on returning it to your rightful hands. I merely wish to get the sentinal back as quickly as posssible, Panic already starts in the town. And rumors of dragonkin attacking horses have already been heard. Your cloakk wil be returned to you, unless you and i as well as Draxx could come up with a fair price that it could be bought at.
Tristan d20=19 Friday August 27th, 1999 10:42:24 AM
Just as Draxx is finishing his comments, Tristan rapidly turns and fires and arrow towards Draxx which passes just by his left shoulder and skewers an egglpant sized black spider that was about to land on Draxx. Returning his attention to Branze, well alright then you leave your disk as collateral and agree to replace the cloak if necessary and I will lend it to you. As for cost,I do not want to sell it but if you can not return the cloak the replacement fee is 13,000 gold. Where are you staying so that I may send it to you this afternoon?
Capt Bearcat d20=19 Friday August 27th, 1999 10:47:44 AM
I am on that list? Hmm I can't imagine why.... oh wait you are right. I had completely forgotton about that glass helm. I bought it about 10 yers ago in order to help set up some underwater defenses. I wonder where I put that blasted thing. Worked quiet well too but it was a bit akward. Took a little while to get used to. I will see if I can find it and will send it on to you this evening if I do.
DM d20=19 Friday August 27th, 1999 11:01:37 AM
The various groups go their own ways on their scavenger hunt. K'isst and Galahad head off to the pier and dagger rock. As they arrive where Old Wood Creek widens to river width, there in the middle of the creek is a large granite shelf that seems to be about six feet below the surface and in the middle of that sticking upward out of the water is a 30 ft tall granite dagger that appears to have driven into the rock below. Along the edges of the creek and in the water itself are several fishermen.
DM d20=19 Friday August 27th, 1999 11:16:05 AM
Bill and Rond start out to find the House of the Crystal Sphere and when they get directions they find that it is not close nor in a very nice part of town.
DM d20=19 Friday August 27th, 1999 11:18:59 AM
After getting Directions to the Dku's campsite from Bearclaw Sedar and Arian head off when they start getting close to the camping areas they hear quite a lot of bustling noise and see many folks packing up getting reay to leave and even a few with injuries similar to the childs.
Galahad Quivelio Friday August 27th, 1999 11:19:00 AM
Staring in amazment at the huge dagger constuction sticking out of the water, Galahad turns to K'isst, "Now that is amazing. I have never, in all my days walking this Realm, seen something as magnificant as that. That would have been an interesting project to overcome.-" Looking at all the fishermen - "We'll K'isst, where do you think we should begin?"
Branze Bones Friday August 27th, 1999 6:14:01 PM
"We are will be at the beach. If you can sned the cloak there, i will await it as i plan to be under the waves shortly after the group arrives with the manners of goods." he says as he hands over his disk and begins to walk towards the beach. "Well Draxx, lets hope the others have some sucess. Say should we go to the next sight to ensure you get a way to breath as well?"
Draax Friday August 27th, 1999 6:14:02 PM
Draax see Tristan turn in his direction and let loose an arrow. Just as Draax is sure his life is about to end, he hears the spat sound of the arrow going into to the spider. He looks and the spider and then back to Tristan. Taking a big swallow. "Uh, thanks, I think?" Still picturing the arrow coming at his head, Draax barely listens to Branze as they walk. "Yeah sure, find, breath, well ok" After about five minutes of walking Draax snaps out of his trance and comes back to reality. He turns to Branze as they continue to walk. "Hey, now that you have your water device, maybe we sure head for one of the people on the list to get me something. How about this Lothar person and the 2 rings?" Draax wonders why Branze is looking at him like he is crazy.
Bill T Saturday August 28th, 1999 2:37:38 AM
"Okay, Rond, let's try to look inconspicuous," Bill suggests. "The best way to do that is to look like you know exactly where you're going." Bill moves with purpose and determination. "Pretend like there's pie at the end of the walk," he says.
Branze Bones Saturday August 28th, 1999 12:40:57 PM
"Yes Draxx, lets go to Lothars, if teh other continue to drag there feet, at least we will be ready to go return the head." he says a moment pondering. "I know this may seem weird, but we have been looking for a company name. And given recent devolpments, i was thinking the Head Hunters might work." he says giving Draxx a elbow to the ribs, in a fashion sutable of friends that he and Branze have become.
Arien Sunday August 29th, 1999 4:23:07 AM
::moves up to one of the people:: "Tell me kind sir, why are you and the others leaving? Has something very dreadful happened? If so we might be able to help you."
Draax Sunday August 29th, 1999 4:23:08 AM
Draax ponders Branze's suggestion about the name of the adventuring group. "Hmm, The Head Hunter. You know, that does sound too bad, in fact I actually like it. I don't know what the others will say, but I think The Head Hunters fits this group of our well, especially with current mission that I think we will be undertaking." He nods his head approvingly as they go find Lothar's location.
Sedar the Curious Monday August 30th, 1999 10:57:57 PM
restating Arein's question to another member of the camp "were are you packing to go" waiting for a moment and then continues with "do you know where we can find the Duke in this camp"
Rond Tuesday August 31st, 1999 9:46:56 AM
"ah, okay. I'll just follow you" As Rond focuses on his back! :)
DM d100=95 d100=61 Tuesday August 31st, 1999 6:37:57 PM
As K'isst and Galahad stare awe struck at the giant granite dagger, they are also aware of the fisshing activity going on around them. while most of the fishermen are using poles and lines, there are a few net fishermen, one or two spear fishermen and even a fisherman using a bow. It is at this time that there is commotion at the far side of the pier and a man you recognize as Leif Delerin surfaces from under water carrying a trident and a very full bag of what you can only assume must be fish. ""arghh that took longer than it should have today, but I have all I need for the week. Maybe I will see if Jack Whitham wants to purchase any for the inn."" It will take Branze and Draxx a little while to get back to town and get to Lothar's home. It is a nice house and as you reach to knock the door opens and there in front of you is what appears to be a house keeper. Sedar and Arian get basically the same answers to their questions. "well since the sentinel ceremony was interupted, it don't seem to be any reason to continue the celebration and fair now does it. So we are all going home." As for the Duke, He aint xactly broke camp yet. there was somwut of a sturbance near his pavillion. slikely hell be heres awhile yet. but its oer that way, cant miss it. Rond and Bill get to the seedier part of town and get more specific directions to their destination, from a lad that kind of looks familiar for some reason. As you turn to leave bill feels a small hand dip into one of his pockets.
Galahad Quivelio Tuesday August 31st, 1999 6:37:58 PM
Galahad taps K'isst on the shoulder, "I believe that is the man we have to talk to here. Well we may as well get this over with." Galahad leads the way over to Leif Delerin and greets him, "Hello there friend.-" Looking at the fish he is carrying- "That is quite a catch you have gotten there.-" Gestering towards K'isst,- "My friend and I were wondering if we might have a few minutes of your time. As you may or may not know, the Sentinel Head has been stolen by the Sea Devils. Our group is currently in the process of retrieving the Head for the people of Windhorn, but we have a major problem. It seems we need to collect underwater breathing devices to allow us to follow those whom have stolen the Head. This is where you come in. We have collected information that you hold a valuable item that would allow us to overcome the water, and we were wondering if we might "borrow" it from you, or even purchase it from you if need be. I understand, from what I have just experienced, that your item is a huge factor in your business, but we are willing to make some sort of deal, like maybe pay you for the business that you lose while we use your underwater device. Whatever the case, your item is of great need for this adventure, and I'm sure that our group is willing to do almost anything for you, in return that you lend us your device." Galahad then waits to see what effect his speech has on the man. Turning to K'isst, "Is there anything you might like to add?"
Sedar the Mage Tuesday August 31st, 1999 9:29:14 PM
Follows the directions to the Dukes camp "Lets go Arien, lets see whats about over there "
Arien Tuesday August 31st, 1999 11:47:15 PM

Branze Bones Tuesday August 31st, 1999 11:47:16 PM
"Walking towards the home of Lothar of the hill people Branze begins to show draxx some hand signals meant for silent talk during war patrols. "As we will not be able to speak under water, these signals will most likely save are lives. Once arriving at Lothars home branze knocks . Once Lothar answers "Sir we have heard from the merchant Ruthyat, that you had a item that allowed magical breathing underwater. To continue the clebration and assure the sentinal is restored we need to borrow or by this device. So the Headhunters may return the Sentinal to its full stature.
Draax Tuesday August 31st, 1999 11:47:17 PM
Draax watches as Branze shows him some hand signals used for silent communications. He notices that most of the signals were already familiar to him or easy to learn. "Yeah these signal will come in handy, even when we are not under water." After arriving at Lothar's with Branze, Draax waits for the housekeeper to get Lothar and for him to respond to Branze's question about borrowing the ring(s). If Lothar agreed to lend the party the item(s), Draax will inquire about what each items does.
Bill T Wednesday September 1st, 1999 11:13:44 AM
Placing his hand around the wrist of the boy, and keeping his other hand free to deal with whatever the boy's other hand may attempt, Bill smiles at him and says, "Hey, chum, have you heard that possession is nine tenths of the law? And I've got your hand, and whatever is in it, kiddo." He withdraws the lad's hand, recovers whatever is there, and says, "My name's Bill. What's yours? I think I've seen you around," keeping it friendly. He also quickly glances around to see if there may be accomplices or other interested parties. "I may have forgotten to reward you for your directions. I feel generous today," he says, "so this is for you." He places a gold piece firmly in the hand he still holds, gently closes the boy's fingers over it, and lets the hand go, waiting to see the would-be pickpocket's reaction.
K'isst Thursday September 2nd, 1999 8:38:49 AM
"Oh, sorry Galahad, I was thinking ahead about the best ways to fight Sea Devils. Sir, I think this is more of a rescue mission than an adventure although I'm sure it will have it's moments of excitement. The Town of Windhorn needs the Sentinel. Whether it reall protects the town from dragons or not, the town believes it does. Some are already talking of leaving and the visitors for the festival leaving early can't help sell fish can it? We need to borrow that trident. Think of the advertising. Buy your fish from the person that made the return of the head possible! Also, please do this out of the goodness of your heart." K'isst smiles shyly at the man waiting to see what he says.
Rond Thursday September 2nd, 1999 8:38:50 AM
"Was there some problem?"
DM Thursday September 2nd, 1999 8:38:51 AM
Sedar and Arian follow the directions and easily find the Dukes tent. Sitting on a stump in front of the tent is a middle aged man. He is intent on working on the boots he is cleaning. Bill grasps the boys hand and the boy just basically goes limp. I wasnt trying to take anything, He says. and then he will say nothing more and will not even look at you. As you peer at him you realize he was the lad who was lughing at the ferris wheel. As you keep hold of his hand you see something green and slimy oozing between the boys fingers. Rond as bill is scrutinizing his captive, you have seen the sign to the House of the Crystal Sphere. Lothar's Housekeeper is a bit flustered as Branze starts asking his barage of questions and just manages to croak out, You just missed him he went looking for your group. K'isst and Galahad approach Leif and between the two of them have him quite flustered. It would seem that Leif gets very little attention outside of his cronies and as he listens to what you say a gleam appears in his eye. So you want to use my trident? Well... for a fee and the rental or purchase of another one for me to use I might consider it.
Branze Bones Thursday September 2nd, 1999 8:38:52 AM
"Thank you madam house keeper." he says turning in frustration."Well if he just left lets see if we can find him draxx." he says as he goes running of towards town.
Bill T Thursday September 2nd, 1999 8:38:53 AM
The halfling checks his pocket to see if anything green and slimy was left in his pocket. "Tell me about this green slime," Bill instructs the boy. He observes him closely, ready to counter if the boy tries to bolt.
Draax Thursday September 2nd, 1999 8:38:54 AM
If there are more than one way Lothar could have taken to reach the group, Draax ask the housekeeper. "Did you see which direction he took?" If or whatever the housekeeper informs him, Draax thanks her for her help and he runs with Branze to catch up with Lothar.
Galahad Quivelio Thursday September 2nd, 1999 8:38:55 AM
Being one of the newer members of the group, Galahad turns to K'isst, "Well what do you think we should do? It seems this man will not allow us the use of his underwater device without another underwater device that he can use while we use his.-" Turning to Leif Galahad continues,- "Sir, it seems we cannot supply you with another device, atleast to my knowledge. But what my friend and I can do is pay you for the use of your device, and if she agrees, I will perform a Oathbind on K'isst to make curtain you receive your item back as we found it. If you are interested I will explain the Alemi Oathbinding to you."
Rond Thursday September 2nd, 1999 9:26:18 AM
"By the way Bill, our destination is in sight. Green slime?"
K'isst Friday September 3rd, 1999 8:09:45 AM
K'isst gets a gleam in her own eye and says, "That is if it's the trident that lets you breathe underwater like that. If not, then it's what lets you breathe underwater that we would need to borrow. And I do have a trident. A very nice magical trident. So, is it the trident that lets you breathe underwater? If so, I'd like to try it out before making our deal. You could hold mine here with Galahad while I try it out. If not, then please let us know what lets you breathe underwater like that.
Bill T Friday September 3rd, 1999 8:09:46 AM
In response to Rond's question, Bill indicates the substance oozing from between the fingers of the boy's hand. "Boy, I've given you my name. Now, where I come from, which is around here, it's not considered polite not to return the favor. What is your name? Or, shall we take a trip together to the authorities? I'd prefer we keep this friendly. Putting one's hand in another's pocket, though, it perhaps a bit TOO friendly," he says with a smile. His left hand rests on his lasso.
DM Friday September 3rd, 1999 8:09:47 AM
Leif looks at k'isst and galahad as if they have sprouted horns and were breathing fire, and says no no you misunderstood, if you will provide me with a trident for my use and a small stipend to cover the difference in catch while you have my trident then you may use it. If not then have a nice day. The boy looks up at Bill and Rond, thinks for a moment and says. Wasn't tryin to steal nuffin, I jes wanned to play a trick on yous. Aint nuffin but frogs eggs and algee, won hurt you. any way names Merik Andovan, you aint gonna tell my pa are you? to Draxx the housekeeper says that Lothar was heading to Grog's for all she knew, as that is where you all are staying.
Sedar the Mage Friday September 3rd, 1999 8:09:48 AM
Gathering his thoughts for moment, not knowing where to begin, As the Duke idlely polishes his boots. the 1/2 elf begins. "My dear sir , I will assume that you are well aware of the situation with the statues head. We members of of Windhorn Adventuring band are in need of some help in completing our next mission. It was brought to our attention that you had a chest that would be invaluble to us in our task. I respectively ask on behalf of our Band that if there is some way to gain it's use. We and the fair Hamlet of windhorn would forever grateful." Respectively allows the duke whatever time he needs to reply.
Arien Friday September 3rd, 1999 8:09:49 AM
Defers to Sedar and stays in the background, allowing the half-elf to speak with the Duke. Nobility made him nervous anyway.
Galahad Quivelio Friday September 3rd, 1999 8:09:50 AM
Galahad turns to K'isst, "well it seems we have really confused the man. Either that, or ourselves. Hey, didn't you say that you had a trident? If your willing, you should trade him for yours.-" Turning to Leif, "Sir, it seems that we may have a trident for you to use. As for the money, exactly how much are we talking here?"
Draax Friday September 3rd, 1999 8:09:51 AM
"With Lothar heading towards Grog's we should be able to catch him if we hurry." Running with Branze, Draax begins to picks up the pace.
Bill T Friday September 3rd, 1999 8:09:52 AM
"Merik. Well met, perhaps. Wellll ... frogs' eggs, algae ... hmmm ... what do you think, Rond? Should we tell his pa?" he asks with a wink to Rond. "Or is there something he might do for us, instead of us having to talk with Mr. Andovan?"

Waits for the Duke's answer.
K'isst Monday September 6th, 1999 12:20:03 AM
"My apologies kind sir. I'd be perfectly glad to supply you with another trident (shoots a warning glance to Galahad). By the way, how do you use the trident to breathe underwater? I'd like to try it out here so I don't look foolish when I show it to the others. How does 50gp sound as a reparation for your reduced catch?"
Rond Monday September 6th, 1999 10:57:53 AM
"Well, it's up to you really. It was you he was going for. Though you might want to ask how algae and eggs are meant to be a trick?!"
DM Monday September 6th, 1999 1:32:30 PM
The man looks up at Sedar as he starts speaking, Are you talking to me? what makes you think I am the Duke? Imean would the Duke be cleaning and polishing his own boots? I ask you would he? he stops talking and starts cleaning again as you spin your tail. Merik looks over at Rond, then looks to Bill and says he's a bit daft aint he. Frogs eggs and algee stick together in little balls unless squished, put a few balls in someones pocket and walk away and when they stick their hand in their pocket it gets slimed. Now you gonna let me go or what? An' what do yous want wit' my father anyways? Branze and Draxx are pretty darn tired bout the time they run back across town to Grog's and as they reach for the door, to open it, it opens and there is Lothar just getting ready to leave. Where have you all been? I have been all over town looking for you all. Where are the rest of you? Leif stares at K'isst for just a few seconds longer than he would have liked to with his jaw aslack and stutters.. ffifftty ggold, Umm, yeah, recovering quickly, sure that sounds about right, but if you lose it there will be a replacement fee and the fifty gold is for 10 days use. As for how it works, well,whispering, now I don wan this to be jus common knowledge yu know, he leans closer to Kisst's head and breathing his liquored up breath says there is a word yous gots to say fer it to work. He leans closer and whispers "respirate". After listening to Sedar for a moment longer, the man looks up and says "well you know, i dont personally believe in all that Sentinel nonsense of course but my people do and frankly they are not happy right now, and unhappy subjects make for unhappy Dukes eventually. So you all are going after the head are you? And you think that something I might have, some chest, could aid you? Hmm, I m not sure i quite follow your thinking there. Can you be more explicit?
Branze Bones Monday September 6th, 1999 4:09:48 PM
"Lothar...huh huh. welll, huh huuh, we are hurrying aboiut town to gather the Magical water breathing gear so we can get the hea dback huh huh. You have a ring , huh huhu, say Branze bent over trying to catch his breath. "Do you have that ring, then me and Draxx will be ready to stop the panic, continue the cermony.
Draax Tuesday September 7th, 1999 7:40:30 AM
Draax bends over with one hand resting on the building for support and takes a couple of deep breaths will Branze is trying to talk. " Yes...rings....we....want... to....borrow...from...you. Do..you..still..have." Draax take another deep breath. "The two rings that may help our party retrieve the statue, can you explain to us what each ring does. The rest of our party is around town someway, hopefully they are borrowing other items we will need. We went to your house thinking that we would talk to you there and then ran all the way here when we learned this is where you were headed, that is why we are so tired." While waiting for lothar to answer, Draax takes a few more deep breaths, trying to recover his wind fully.

Galahad watches as Leif whispers something to K'isst. Looking over to her, "Go ahead and try out the trident, I'll wait here with Leif until you get back." Galahad watches admirinly at K'isst as she holds the magical trident.

Now you gonna let me go or what? An' what do yous want wit' my father anyways? Bill shrugs his shoulders at young Merik's evaluation of Rond. "Not too daft, I reckon. And yup, I'll let you go. But how'd you like to make some money, and have some fun?" Bill lets go his wrist. "If you want to, and do a good job, I'll put in a good word for you with your father. I'll warn you, though, it may involve some searchin', and some hidin', and takin' some messages. Not necessarily all safe, either."

[OOC: Forgot to cut Merik's comments from the start of Bill's post. Sloppy. Three demerits.]

"Then perhaps you would kindly point me in the direction were we could find the honorable duke. ... it would be most helpul ... thank you" the 1/2 evenly replies. Making a sidelong look at his new partner with a shrug.

Arien studies the eccentric man for second and returns Sedar's shrug.
Rond Wednesday September 8th, 1999 7:54:17 PM
"I'm sure I could call you daft in certain things too. (dripping sarcasm)."
Bill T Wednesday September 8th, 1999 9:35:26 PM
Bill looks up at Rond. "I'm sure in several things you could call me that," he smiles good-naturedly. He asks the boy, Merik. "Have you ever been a spy? I have. You want to try it out?"
Sedar the Mage Wednesday September 8th, 1999 9:51:02 PM
"Kind sir, you know more of what you have than I. I've only heard rumors of things of power that you possess. Perhaps if I tell you that we plan to go beneath the waves of the sea to retrieve the Head. It would help you in knowing which things you have that can help us." The 1/2 elf allows whatever time the Duke needs to think things througth.

Merik looksup at bill excitement brimming over in his eyes, A real live spy, me? sure ill do it what do you want me to do, kill the Duke? steal something from the church?? Hag's place of business is still right behind you. Kisst takes and tries Leif's trident out and for the short while that she is down everything is great. Lothar looking suprised at bumping into them, says I was just looking for you. Oh the rings, well yes how did you know? that was what I was coming to see you about. I have them right here. its not much but I hope they will help in some small way? The duke looks at Sedar for a moment as if questioning his sanity and then says hmm well come inside and take a look and i will tell you about the chest. You enter the tent and see that is sparsely and efficiently furnished several chests on the floor four chairs a small bed a desk and a side table. It is towards this side tablethat he is heading. on this table is a chest, or more appropriately, what appears to be a Human Torso.
