Milo Monday March 6th, 2000 2:47:02 PM
Even the vociferous halfling seems quiet and sullen this morning as he notices the lack of life in his friends. Milo quietly packs up and takes the driver seat remaining visible. His broad-rimmed straw hat is perhed back on his head as he looks about warily.
Flueterflam Monday March 6th, 2000 3:58:06 PM
Fluet doesn't seem to be bothered by the surroundings. The bard actually hums quietly to himself as they depart. Although, he is more cautious.
Moving On(DM Sam) Monday March 6th, 2000 9:04:07 PM
as everyone packs up and gets ready to move on, the uneasy feeling returns(as if it really left). once everyone gets mounted, the sun peaks through a little bit stronger
Shadrach Monday March 6th, 2000 10:36:21 PM
He muttered to Milo. "hey, why not go scouting next time we break for lunch? I'm getting tired of this routine."
K'nara Tuesday March 7th, 2000 7:15:35 AM
As they rode along, the human bladesinger spoke to Ingrge. "During our separation, I had the opportunity to see more of the Kingdom, and even some of the country to the south--the one that's run by the Dark Lord..." here K'nara frowned, then continued ominously, "...if you think our homeland has it bad, I cannot imagine having to live under the Dark One's rule!" The woman shook her filleted head then looked directly at her elf companion with honest hazel eyes. "We will never be able to beat Parnoth simply by killing him--the Dark Lord is just waiting for that in order to subjugate our own land. No, Ingrge--in order to keep the Dark Lord in check, it must be a Living Legend that vanquishes that vile green reptile...and it is my plan to make the Emerald Talons a living legend--with you, specifically, as the #1 part of that legend." The tall female fighter looked at Ingrge, wondering what his reaction to her announcement would be...
Olana Tuesday March 7th, 2000 10:56:04 AM
Olana's sharp elven ears can't help but pick up the conversation between K'Nara and Ingrge. Living Legends? It all sounded very exciting, but the thought of one nasty dragon being surplanted by something worse? Why did it always have to be like this? A little disheartened she wonders if whatever they did - would it really make any difference overall? "Fluet?" she whispers. "Do you know any nice songs - you know.. something to cheer us up a bit?" Her hands stay on the reins, her eyes on the road in front, and she tries to think of better things.
Milo Tuesday March 7th, 2000 2:39:47 PM
Milo perks up at K'nara's conversation as well, a low whistle issues from between his teeth.. "Well.. nothin' personal Ingrge.. but I'm glad it is you she's chosen... and not me..." The halfling removes his straw hat momentarily in order to wipe his forehead.. then replacing it he turns back to Shad and mutters back, "Thats not a bad idea, ya know it hadn't occurred to me up to this point... but I think during lunch.. I'll fade and stalk about a bit..." Then the halfling perks up.. "But only if you'll save me some lunch..." Milo grins.
Figment Tuesday March 7th, 2000 2:39:48 PM
takes his place at the back of the group still invible in the saddle. He rides so as to make Jux appear to have no rider.

after hearing K'nara's ideas about becoming living legends, everyone's spirits is lifted up just a bit. everyone chats about it and even a few smiles appear on peoples faces until a blood-curdeling shriek piercest the air, and seven small goblin-like creatures come flying out of the trees, the points of their spears gleaming in the sunlight(roll for surprise, surprised on a 1 or 2). the first one charges at K'nara, but swings wildly. the next one breezes by Ingrge, his spear barely missing his chest, but Shadrach gets nailed right in his side, takeing 6 pts of damage. Milo also gets hit,
What The?(DM Sam) 2d6(5+3)=8 d20+2=14 2d6(2+4)=6 d20+2=5 Tuesday March 7th, 2000 9:14:48 PM
taking 8pts of damage. Flueterflam also gets stabbed, receiving 6pts of damage. the one swinging towards Olana misses, and the last one lands on the ground and begins to rummage through Figment's belongings. the others are now dangeling in front of their opponents, suspended from ropes that appeared to be tied to various trees. also, everyone can see that they are kobolts, and that they are covered in camoflage
Figment d20=10 d6=6 d20=8 Tuesday March 7th, 2000 10:53:02 PM
Taken aback at his poor manners of leaving something in camp after already mounting, the mage is ready for the attack as he was already looking for it (Not suprised d10 or d6, can't remember). He smiles at the kobold trying to rummage through his things which are wizard locked and trapped to appear locked thanks to one of his longer studies named - Leomund wasn't it..? He casts a web of gooey sticky webbing using the trees as anchors entrapping the largest group of critters he can. Appearing on his horse he charges the interlopers trying suprise them and to drive any he missed into the webs. He has Jux rare up on his hind legs for intimidation and he prepares to cast again at any who fail to be caught (Dex to stay mounted).
K'nara d20=15 d8=3 d20=17 Wednesday March 8th, 2000 7:44:45 AM
(OOC: I forgot to add K'nara's +2 bonus--the to hit roll result is actually 17--K'nara's THAC0 is 16 in this case; the damage total is 5hp) Not missing a beat, the female fighter drew her bastard sword from her sheath on her back and swung the flat of the heavy blade into the back of the head of the kobold as it charged past her with its spear. Then she vaulted off the back of her mount, the better to fight the small-sized foes... (OOC: that last d20 roll was a check to see if she made that maneuver successfully)
Shadrach d10=2 Wednesday March 8th, 2000 8:55:20 AM
((OOC: AAAAAGH!)) Shad caught a glimpse of 'Errol Flynn' coming out of the corner of his eye, but his twist was too late. He clutched the spear driven into his side painfully, and stared up at the kobold in surprise.
Ingrge d6=1 Thursday March 9th, 2000 6:09:00 AM
Pondering K'narra's words about her plans, Ingrge is quite startled at the sudden appearence of a pinata in front of him. So much so that he just sits there blinking to see if it is real as others around him attack and are hurt.
Milo d10=9 d20=2 d20=2 Thursday March 9th, 2000 6:09:01 AM
Having been extremely alert since they entered this part of the forest, the halfling is not surprised as the goblins come rolling out of the underbrush... Recoiling from the wound he took, Milo stands in the seat, and holding the reins in one hand, the other deftly draws his new magic blade. The blade almost audibly hums as the halfling whips it around, and the thing appears to move of its own volition. So much so in fact that the poor halfling's blows swing wide of the nasty little goblin that attacked him.
Flueterflam d10=8 Thursday March 9th, 2000 6:09:02 AM
Fluet isn't too terribly suprised, but doesn't have time to react. In fact, the only thing the bard is able to do, is let out a small, "Ouch..."
Olana d10=6 2d20(2+17)+2=21 d4=4 Thursday March 9th, 2000 6:09:03 AM
Startled, seeing the little beasties coming out of the trees, the elf nevertheless manages to duck and pull out two of her daggers, which she hurls directly at the one who tried to attack her. One of them manages to hit the little rascal (4+1) as he swings by. She then pulls her sword, keeping one hand on the reins.
What The?(DM Sam) d20=14 d20+3=21 d6=3 d6=5 d20+3=10 d20+3=11 Thursday March 9th, 2000 6:09:04 AM
Figment realizes that besides the one that dived at Ingrge, all of the others are engaged with his friends, and that they would also be engangled in his web, so he zaps Ingrge's opponent, leaving him stuck among the trees. K'nara slashes deeply in the kobold's chest, but hes still moving. then, as she tries to jump off her horse, her feet get tangled up in the stirrups and she falls, landing on her rump(it will take your action next round to stand up). Shadrach and Ingrge are too shocked at being attacked to respond, while Milo swings wide with his attacks, hitting only air. Flueterflam just sits there, rubbing his wound, while Olana is able to stick her little goblin, but hes still in the fight, growling at her. then the kobolts strike back. if the could, everyone can see that the kobolts have a little smile on their faces as they suddenly go flying back into the trees, and a moment later 6 more kobolts come flying out of the trees, from the opposite side of the road!(surprise check, surprised on a 1 only, use d10) the first one swings at K'nara's prone body, impaleing her for 8 pts of damage. curiously, one doesnt swing at Ingrge, and his kobolt remains stuck in the trees. two of them swing at Sadrach and Milo, but they both swing wide.
What The?(DM Sam) d20+3=12 d20+3=22 2d6(2+2)=4 d20+3=11 Thursday March 9th, 2000 6:09:05 AM
the next one strikes at Flueterflam, but just misses him, but Olana gets hit head on, taking 4 pts of damage, while the last one misses Figment. they remain where they are for the moment, waiting for the oppurtunity to cause more damage
Ingrge d10=3 d20=5 d20=18 d4=1 Thursday March 9th, 2000 6:09:06 AM
No longer suprised, Ingrge grins widely at his webbed Pinata and targets the one facing K'nara with two of his new daggers from the bandolier missing with the first(5 +??) and hitting with the second (18+?? causing the kobold a little irritation 1+?? points of damage)Ingrge grins yet again as the two daggers return to him after doing their jobs.
K'nara d10=8 Thursday March 9th, 2000 6:32:19 AM
The appearance of the diminuitive reinforcements caused the human bladesinger to swear, then the shock and pain of being impaled while in her decidedly inglorious position only added to K'nara's colorful dialogue. The tall woman siezed the little spear that struck her through to the right side of her bellybutton and yanked it out, using it as an impromptu crutch as she struggled to her feet. "These things better not be the people we're trying to help!!!" she yelled. "I just HATE it when the people you're trying to help stick you with spears!!!"
Shadrach d10=8 d20+3=17 d6+5=7 Thursday March 9th, 2000 8:58:08 AM
"We're looking for goblins, thank the Lady," Shad growled. He snatched up his trident and took a poke at his kobold pinata, puncturing (AC1) rather nastily (d7).
Figment d10=9 d4+1=4 d4+1=4 Thursday March 9th, 2000 10:47:37 AM
Disappointed at his last attack's apparent lack of effectiveness, the mage casts quickly. 2 firey projectiles fly from his fingers and strike his latest opponent (8 DMG). He prepares to cast again, positioning himself so as to intercept any more of the "Flying Walendas" and avoiding their reach as they try to attack. He glances over his back to make sure they are not being flanked.
Milo d20=18 d20=10 d6+1=6 Thursday March 9th, 2000 10:48:48 AM
Milo shouts at the ugly little scrub... "Bloody Heathen!" Whipping his short sword about again, he squarely smites the critter,(6hp) and then jerking his blade free swings clear on the second shot. "Hah... that'll teach you to jump out of bushes at unsuspecting travelers.
Olana d10=6 d20=9 d6+1=6 Thursday March 9th, 2000 12:17:26 PM
"Well really!!" exclaims the elf, as another one swings down and smacks into her. Weilding her sword, she takes a swipe (6dam if it hit)at the little monster. Glancing around she notices her friends being similarly assaulted and frowns grimly, still hold of the reins.
What The?(DM Sam) d20=9 d20=12 d20=10 d20=12 d20=20 d20=8 Thursday March 9th, 2000 10:07:15 PM
after throwing his daggers, Ingrge realizes that are are +1 weapons. Shadrach and Milo deliver nasty wounds to their opponents, but they are still alive, and they dont look very happy. Figments magical bolts smash into the kobolt, blasting the life from him. then the kobolts strike back, poking their spears in a defensive nature, but all of them miss except the one on Olana, who scores a critical hit for 6 pts of damage. then they start to slowly be pulled back into the trees(K'nara, Shadrach, Milo, Flueterflam, and Olana may make an even-odd roll on any dice. if you roll an odd number, you can make a free attack at your opponent as he is retreating. if you attack, it doesnt count as your action.)

once the kobolts are back up in the trees, a hail of darts rains down on Figment
What The?(DM Sam) d20=6 d20=5 d20=8 d20=19 d3=2 Thursday March 9th, 2000 10:22:46 PM
twelve total darts come flying at Figment, but only one wounds him for 2 pts of damage. then a booming voice calls out "SURRENDER! YOU ARE SURROUNDED! PAY THE TOLL OR DIE!" when everyone looks around for the sourse of the voice and where the kobolts are in the trees, it seems that they have dissapeared! Ingrge doesnt see anyone trying to flank them
K'nara d100=16 Friday March 10th, 2000 9:11:40 AM
The chesnut-haired human female shakes a fist--with the bloodied spear clutched therein--up at the trees with their little attackers retreating into them. "Domi blast you all! By what right do you claim to exact a toll..???"
Olana d6=3 d20+2=14 d20+2=7 d4=4 Friday March 10th, 2000 10:32:30 AM
"Owwww..." Stumbling a little, Olana hurls a couple of daggers after the retreating little monster.(4dam on 1dagger)She then looks in astonishment as they demand a toll. "Well there's nothing like asking first, is there," she says to K'Nara and the others, "rather than just wading in and attacking us." Rolling her eyes, she adds - "If all this is over a couple of silver, I'm going to be rather disappointed."
Figment Friday March 10th, 2000 11:09:22 AM
The mage watches where the kobolds ar eraised up into the trees. He also notes where the darts came from. He yells "Gate keepers don't attack those who travel their roads!". He casts and a cloud of green noxious gas appears in the trees beginning where the darts came from incapacitating all within (I would assume climbing out would take longer than running out). He begins looking around on the ground for any interlopers that he could get Jux to stomp.
Milo d6=1 d20=18 d6+1=2 Friday March 10th, 2000 3:09:48 PM
Milo lashes out at the cretin as he turns to flee, scoring another hit(2 hps). Hearing the voice, he gets disgusted and curious all at once... Muttering under his breath, "Pshaw... common highwaymen." He then activates his ring of invisibility, disappearing and slipping off the bench to the ground.
Flueterflam d100=58 Friday March 10th, 2000 4:44:58 PM
Fluet becomes rather confused about their whole situation. He just sits with bow in hand, an arrow nocked.
Ingrge Friday March 10th, 2000 8:19:24 PM
Walking over to the webbed kobold and then turning towards where the voice came from Ingrge clamly and quietly says, I tell you what Why don't I just turn you lovely trees into torchers and we can have a Kobold Que. I think I even brought some spicy sauce.
Shadrach d10=4 Friday March 10th, 2000 8:50:45 PM
Shad waved his trident half-heartedly at 'Tarzan' but had no chance of hitting. He frowned at the bushes. He hissed at K'Nara, "hey! info over a bloodcount?"
What The?(DM Sam) d20=15 d20=17 d20=18 d20=19 d20=16 Saturday March 11th, 2000 1:31:03 AM
Figment hears some coughing and wheezing up in the trees, then he sees a Kobolt fall from the trees and start vomiting. Olana's dagger sticks into the fleeing kobolt, but it doesnt appear to cause much damage, but Milo slashes off the head of his attacker, its blood spraying all over him while he returns to the trees. then the booming voice yells out again, "YOU TRY TO POSION ME AND MY MEN!?! I WONT TAKE A TOLL, ILL TAKE YOUR LIVES!!!" and then the sky becomes dark with flying darts, which seem to be coming from everywhere!
What The?(DM Sam) d20=10 d20=6 d20=19 d20=16 d20=13 d20=15 d3=3 d20=17 Saturday March 11th, 2000 1:35:51 AM
six of the darts go flying at K'nara, but only one finds it mark, sticking in her arm for 3pts of damage

and a sheet of darts goes flying at Figment
What The?(DM Sam) d3=3 d3=2 d6=3 Saturday March 11th, 2000 2:05:28 AM
nailing him twice for 5pts of damage. after the darts stop flying, it is strangely quiet. the kobolt in the web spell is still trying to get out, but isnt able to move, while the kobolt that Figment saw fall out of the tree tries to get up and run, but trips and falls down
Flueterflam Sunday March 12th, 2000 6:26:44 PM
Fluet casts Wall of Fog. "ouch..." Although a little known fact, Fluet has picked up a few of his own 'tricks' during his time. The bard hopes this will give them all a time to think.
Milo d100=87 Sunday March 12th, 2000 8:52:22 PM
Milo slips into the brush invisibly, attempting to move as quietly as possible, and looking for the source of the demanding voice.
K'nara d20+2=15 d8+2=8 Monday March 13th, 2000 6:13:10 AM
The woman warrior whirled about as the Wall of Fog settled about the beseiged party, her angry eye falling upon the unfortunate kobold that had fallen down. Her fury at the ambush--combined with the pain of her wounds--prompted K'nara to rush at the prone creature, attacking it rather inelegantly with her bastard sword in one hand, forgetting her training in the art of the Bladesong in her intense desire to create Kobold Puree. (OOC: Roll hits AC 1)
Olana Monday March 13th, 2000 5:24:09 PM
Wincing at the darts, Olana looks through the foggy gloom into the trees. "We're not here to poison anyone!" she yells, hoping someone in there will understand. She stays put - with the wagon, just in case someone gets a big idea to steal it or make the horses bolt.
Ingrge Monday March 13th, 2000 7:30:21 PM
Seeing where the majority of the darts came from and listening to the voice, Ingrge points his staff in the direction of where it seems the majority of the kobolds are and says "shade-n-hue, sending forth a colorful array of lights into the trees(color spray)
What The?(DM Sam) Tuesday March 14th, 2000 2:50:01 AM
Flueterflam's spell goes off, covering the area with thick mists. K'nara cuts the little monster in half, its innards flying everywhere. Milo searches the area for more kobolds, while a burst of colors breaks through the fog momentairly, as Ingrge's spell penetrates into the woods. Milo's search doesnt turn up any of the dog-like beaties
Milo d100=69 Tuesday March 14th, 2000 10:53:34 AM
Milo continues his search through the underbrush, invisibly looking for the source of the voice that threatened his friends.
Olana Tuesday March 14th, 2000 3:02:05 PM
"Keep an eye on our cargo," Olana whispers to Fluet, tieing up the reins and jumping down from the wagon. She then steps forward and talks quietly to the horses, hopefully keeping them calm, all the while on the alert for movement.
Flueterflam Tuesday March 14th, 2000 3:58:08 PM
Trying to keep his voice within the area of the party, "I think we should get away from here before the fog clears." Fluet waits for a reply, ready to leave the area at any time.
Shadrach Tuesday March 14th, 2000 8:28:19 PM
He stood crouched on the wagon bench, looking around for their foes. "Maybe we oughta get outa here."
Figment Tuesday March 14th, 2000 8:30:56 PM
He watched the place where he'd thought the voice came from, looking for signs of an invisible attacker. "Not poison, just magic! You chose the wrong victims today. Now let us go about our business!"
What The?(DM Sam) Wednesday March 15th, 2000 10:55:44 AM
Milo ventures a bit further into the bushes and trees. he find some severed bits of rope, but nothing else. Figments cries at the attackers doesnt get any kind of response, while everyone else is anxious to leave, waiting for an attack. meanwhile, the kobolt trapped in the web stops struggling and goes limp
Milo d100=51 Wednesday March 15th, 2000 10:55:45 AM
Returning to his friends in silence, Milo quietly approaches K'nara, slipping up next to her invisibly. He whispers, "I didn't find anything out there... whoever was there has gone... perhaps I should remain invisible for the duration, so I can more easily investigate these little mishaps."
K'nara Wednesday March 15th, 2000 12:32:38 PM
Scowling at what's left of the kobold on the ground, the female fighter mulled over Milo's words. "Sounds good--but we won't be sticking around to give these guys another shot at us." With this, K'nara bellowed: "Everyone mount up--we are OUT of here!" The tall woman winced as she moved over to Poki and picked up the horse's reins. "C'mon, fella," she muttered to the faithful mount, "Let's get our people out of the field of fire, eh?" K'nara stepped into the stirrup and swung her leg over the back of the horse. "Shadrach...see who needs healing..." she ordered, adding in a low and somewhat pained voice, "...besides me..."
Olana Wednesday March 15th, 2000 3:26:07 PM
Hearing K'Nara's cry to get the heck out of there, Olana scrambles back up into the wagon and takes the reins and will get the horses moving along quickly.
Shadrach Wednesday March 15th, 2000 6:13:47 PM
"Milo, come on!" Shad waited a moment, not sure where the hobbit was. From a quick glance around, most of them seemed in no condition to fight a clever foe. Most of them were close to K'Nara's condition, but Olana looked worst hit. Then he snapped the reins. "YAA!"
Figment Wednesday March 15th, 2000 6:18:08 PM
He circled the campsite one more time, to collect anything forgotten. Then he rode after the others, taking an occasional look behind.
Ingrge Wednesday March 15th, 2000 7:15:13 PM
following K'narra's command, Ingrge turns Moonshadow and muttering something under his breath about short, bad mannered, little, ugly, runts, he waves off Shad letting him know that he has no need for help.
Getting out of Dodge(DM Sam) Thursday March 16th, 2000 3:28:32 AM
everyone gathers together, then everyone takes off at full speed down the road. for the next few miles, everyone is on alert, expecting an attack that never comes. after about 2 miles, the horses start to slow down, the burdon of pulling the wagon draining their strength. knowing that if they dont slow down that the horses could die, everyone slows down to a trot to rest the horses and to bind their wounds
Shadrach d8=3 d8=3 d8=8 d8=1 Thursday March 16th, 2000 9:02:25 AM
Shad got to work, first tending to Olana first (3 CLW, +14hp). Then K'Nara, and sighed as his blessing did little to heal her (+1hp). He stood up and rummaged in the small sack in his backpack, pulling out three bottles marked with white rags. He gave one to K'Nara, one to Fluet, and put one on the ground for Milo. "Milo, that's yours. Fluet, haven't I seen you do some healing in the Maw? I'd rather not use up the rest of my potions." (Potions of Healing, roll 1d8)
Figment Thursday March 16th, 2000 9:05:23 AM
Figment, who was still wounded, stayed on Jux, keeping an eye on the woods around them.
Milo d8=2 d8=2 Thursday March 16th, 2000 10:18:34 AM
Grateful, though none could tell for his silence, Milo picks up the healing potion and drinks its contents(gain 2 hps). Feeling his wound close somewhat, the halfling makes his way over to the wagon with Shadrach and quietly hoists himself into the passenger seat. In answer to Shadrach's retort, Milo whispers, "I'm right here... can't you tell, I'm disguised as a wagon seat." The halfling giggles quietly. Still whispering, "That potion wasn't very strong, or perhaps something in my body resisted some of the effects... " Milo pulls out his own healing potion and drinks it.(jipped again for 2 hps) After drinking it, whispering, "Mine wasn't much help either."
K'nara d8=5 Thursday March 16th, 2000 3:08:42 PM
"Thank you, Shadrach." K'nara nodded to the cleric and quaffed the potion, which definitely helped heal her wound up (even if it wasn't completely healed.) "The Kingdom's definitely going to the dogs--" the bladesinger grimaced, "--heh, LITERALLY--if kobolds dare to hold the roads hostage. If we're not near the epidemic region yet, then we'll find another likely spot to set up camp. I think that the last watch arrangement worked out well--so we'll do the same thing this time, too...Flueterflam on first watch; Shadrach and Milo on second; Olana and myself third, and last watch for Ingrge and Figment."
Olana Thursday March 16th, 2000 3:37:16 PM
Olana gives Shad a beaming smile. "Thank you," she says. "That feels so much better." She will help bind wounds as they roll along slowly, taking turns with Fluet at the reins. "I have a potion if someone is in need of it," she tells the others.
Flueterflam Thursday March 16th, 2000 5:24:43 PM
In answer to Shad, "Yes, you're right, but I try not to use magic too much. I only know a little, and what little I know, I try wait to use until a greater need arises. I'll just see how much better I feel after I sleep. If it doesn't help then there are alternatives." Fluet smiles, thinking how lucky they really were, even if it was a close call. Then, reacting to K'nara, "Just out of curiosty, why do you keep putting me, alone, on the first watch?" he smiles, just giving her a hard time.

after pausing to bind the more serious of their wounds, the talons continue on for another mile or two until they find a suitable campsite. after the healing, everyone looks alot better except for Figment and Flueterflam, who still look pretty beat up. after everyone gets settled down, everyone can hear the sound of hooves clicking on the road. a few moments later, everyone sees a heavily armored dwarf riding a slow moving donkey. its hard to make out his facial features because of his helmet, but there is a huge axe strapped across his back and a 2" spike protruding from the top of his helmet, but the thing everyone notices the most it the silver scarf draped around his neck. he directs his donkey towards your camp and heads towards it
Dakar the Pain-monger Thursday March 16th, 2000 9:09:59 PM
He swings his legs off the beast, hitting the ground with a loud "thump." "Hail. You look like a scraggly and rowdy lot indeed. Not much like the proud band of heroes I was told of. Humans and elves almost all, eh? I see we have at least one of short stock among us." "I am Dakar, also called Dakar the Pain Monger. In the peaks and Halls of the Scab my name can also mean Dakar the Oath-Breaker. I serve Domi. I live for battle and for my god. When I fight, I am a presence to be feared. When I sing, the spirit of battle rises up within my soul." "I will help you. I will die, for my life is given to death already. But before the halls of Domi call to me I seek to bring as many of the minions of evil plummeting into the Abyss with me as I can." He turns to K'nara. "I have heard you lead this band, and that you fight with a skillful and artistic dance." Turning his head he spits on the ground. "Your dance is that of an elf, and a maiden. My song is that of a warrior borne, and of dwarvish pride. Perhaps with time you will see how a warrior fights when his life is devoted entirely to the martial skills." "I pledge you my axe, my life, my friendship. This pledge cannot be broken, as the eyes of Domi watch us all. Will you take me?"
Figment Thursday March 16th, 2000 9:10:00 PM
Figment marveled, for he had never heard a dwarf speak so much at one time. "I am Figmentary. From the scarf you wear, I presume you are one of the Tines? And you seem to know us. Then half of the Emerald Talons are sworn to defend you already. Do you seek to join the Talons' current quest or their company?"
Shadrach Thursday March 16th, 2000 9:10:01 PM
"Uhhh..." Shad looked at K'Nara and shrugged.
K'nara Friday March 17th, 2000 7:15:41 AM
As she helped to secure the camp, K'nara's hazel eyes sparkled with humor at Fluet's question. "Well, bard," she drawled, "I suppose you would prefer to be on watch with either Olana or myself, but I would rather not subject you to the possibility of being run through by either of us should your...charm fail you...or you sing off-key." The human bladesinger chuckled. Later, the introduction of the dwarven warrior-priest surprised her. The expression on the auburn-haired woman's face went from surprise to bemusement as Dakar rambled on. Finally--when she could get a word in edgewise--K'nara looked the formidable armored form of the short one and nodded once. "Aye, Dakar...you may join our band if that is your wish--and I cannot deny that my way of battle is elven in origin, nor that I am a maiden...but we'll both see each other's style of combat soon enough to decide exactly how effective either may be. Kobolds waylaid us up the road almost a league or so...I don't doubt that they may try their luck again." The tall female rubbed absently at her freshly inflicted and slightly healed wound. "Oh...as long as you're here, now...you can keep Flueterflam company on first watch." K'nara tossed a grin over her shoulder at the bard. "He had only just complained of being lonely when you arrived, so Domi--in his infinite wisdom--seems to have provided him with most competent help to guard the camp."
Ingrge Saturday March 18th, 2000 4:41:24 AM
Helping set up camp and tend to the beasts, Ingrge watches as the party lets an armed unknown dwarf walk in to their camp unchallenged, just after having been attacked by other unknowns, Despite the silver scarf and the rest of the party's obvious casualness, Ingrge keeps a wary eye on the newcomer as he spins his intro. After the dwarf finishes his little speech and K'narra sets him on watch duty, Ingrge wanders over to their Leader. You asked more questions of the serving girls at the tavern before allowing them to bring you food then you did of a stranger walking into our camp uninvited? How do we know he did not steal or kill someone for that scarf? how do we know he is not in the service of Parnoth? Ingrge awaits a response.
Milo Saturday March 18th, 2000 4:41:25 AM
Milo is silent during the dwarf's arrival, not quite sure what to think of this newcomer. Approaching K'nara about the same time as Ingrge, the halfling waits till he is finished speaking and then utters in low tones so only the two of them can hear. "K'nara, I'll be sleeping on the wagon bench... invisibly... with one eye open... just in case. If the dwarf is true, he is a good omen, if not, I'll deal with him." The halfling's tone is unusually grim. "Its just these woods... they spook me."
Dakar the Pain-monger d8=7 Saturday March 18th, 2000 4:41:26 AM
Dakarnods to K'nara and clutches the crossed swords which hang about his neck, allowing a light glow to seep from the amulet through his hands. He touches the wound on K'nara's shoulder as he chants, quickly sealing the wound, leaving not a trace of scar (7 pts). He goes to join the bard, sitting on the perimiter of the camp and nods to him. "Sing a song, o troubador. A song of a man who has wandered from home. That way the night will shorten. If you know a dwarvish ballad play that, and I shall teach you how it was meant to be sung."
Olana Saturday March 18th, 2000 4:41:27 AM
Making sure the horses are fed and watered, Olana watches silently as the dwarf arrives and introduces himself. His remarks about K'Nara's elven fighting style cause her to raise an eyebrow, before smiling quietly to herself. "A painmonger? This should be interesting," she whispers to the cart horses, patting them on the neck. Walking past the newcomer she smiles and says - "Hello Dakar - I'm Olana," before approaching Figment and Fluet. "Which one needs this the most?" she asks, indicating the potion held in her hand.
A New Friend?(DM Sam) Saturday March 18th, 2000 4:41:28 AM
after the newcomer introduces himself to everyone, night begins to fall. after eating a quick dinner, those on watch begin their shift, while everyone else settles down to get some much needed sleep
K'nara Saturday March 18th, 2000 7:52:30 AM
"I thank you, Dakar." the woman warrior nodded her cauled head at the dwarf. Then K'nara gave Ingrge a look that clearly said "not NOW!" and went about making sure that the camp was set up properly and that the wagons' load of medicine was still all right. After Fluet and the new arrival were at their watchposts, the humanbladesinger turned to her second-in-command and said, "I was acting mostly on intuition, Ingrge...I DO believe that he is most likely what he says he is--a warrior priest of Domi. However, I also remembered that Milo has that invisibility ring...and I wanted to wait until the Pain-monger there was out of earshot before telling you and the others to keep an eye on him for the next week or so...those on watch as well as while we travel to our destination." Then K'nara walked off to share that same advice with each of the others, except Fluet, whom she'd have to get alone tomorrow morning...or, perhaps, just when she went on watch with Olana...
Flueterflam Saturday March 18th, 2000 10:28:08 AM
After listening to K'nara, Fluet remembers suddenly his charmed boxers. For awhile, he had completely forgotten about them. But her cynical tone made him forget about them just as quickly as he remember. "Whatever, oh always right one." Then he seperates himself from the group, staying close enough to still hear what's going on. He seems rather depressed, or grumpy, or both. In response to Dakar, "No I'm sorry, I don't currently know any dwarven songs. Though I have battled with a dwarf, named Din. He did once sing a death song. It was probably the saddest thing I've ever heard in my life." The bard starts to cry. He turns away from everyone, so that they don't see him. After he is again able to talk, he states, "Dakar, tonight I'm not sure if I feel up to any songs."
Olana Saturday March 18th, 2000 8:49:54 PM
After listening to K'Nara, the elf settles down and gets some rest before her watch.
Dakar the Painmonger d8=7 d8=7 Saturday March 18th, 2000 11:52:06 PM
Dakar reaches out his hand to touch Fluet's shoulder, chanting the same words as he did when he healed K'nara. "May the solace of Domi pass over you, and lift your spirit from the depths" He says, as Fluet's wounds close up (7 hps of healing). He then begins the ritual anew, healing Fluet again (if Fluet is still injured), or casting a cure upon one of the others of the group. He then returns to his post and waits, staring off into the darkness.
Ingrge Tuesday March 21st, 2000 4:37:55 AM
Nods at K'narra's comments and wanders off to apparently get some sleep, Ingrge's mood lightens a bit when he sees Dakar using healing magic on his friends. Thinking to himself, "Well at least he's not out to kill us right away." With that thought Ingrge drifts off in to a light elven trance.
Figment Tuesday March 21st, 2000 4:37:56 AM
The mage walks aroud with Olana assessing the condition of each horse - making each as comfortable as possible and talking softly to each one with concern and respect. It is clear he knows exactly what to do with them. Once done, he returns to the others who are addressing the newcomer. The mage bows to the diminutive but formidable figure and says "Your kindness is most welcome - and refreshing. I only suffered a minor wound so I would suggest saving your magic for others not so fortunate as I. Maybe me later in fact. So what brings you here? Why have you come and how did you know where we were?"
Shadrach d100=16 d100=52 Tuesday March 21st, 2000 4:37:57 AM
((Fluet never used the potion of healing Shad gave him)) Shad rubbed his own bandaged wounds and sighed. *Should've cast that Hold Person. But all these days of traveling without action are slowing my brain.* Thoughtfully, Shadrach walked away from the camp, though he made no attempt to hide himself. He set down and cast two Auguries, one after another. "Will accepting Dakar Painmonger among us bring us weal or woe?" "Will killing the person who attacked us earlier bring us weal or woe?" (both successful)
Dakar the Painmonger Tuesday March 21st, 2000 4:37:58 AM
Dakar assesses the mage for a moment before he speaks. "I have joined you because the tines told me to do so. I have come because it was Domi's will. As for healing now I plan on sleeping once my watch is over. If you have a later watch you should sleep now so that you will be rested later. Few things do i like less than being unhappily roused from slumber, although I would gladly wake a thousand times from the most glorious dream were to I wake to battle."
A New Friend?(DM Sam) d6=3 d6=5 d6=4 Tuesday March 21st, 2000 4:37:59 AM
Shadrach's augury spell reveals the following: "Some strangers offer no harm" and "The death of that one brings woe to others" then everyone settles down for their watches and sleep.
Olana Tuesday March 21st, 2000 4:38:00 AM
The elf rests peacefully, her gut reaction to the newcomer Dakar, giving her no cause for alarm, feeling certain that he wouldn't be a bad addition to the party. Somewhere, deep in her mind she holds a question for the morning - and will maybe ask Figment what he does that calms the horses so.
Milo Tuesday March 21st, 2000 4:38:01 AM
Anyone who enjoys a fight makes the halfling a bit twitchy, though Milo's nerves are calmed a bit when he sees that Dakar is a healer as well. Thinking to himself, "Better to be safe than sorry." As he beds down invisibly for the night.
Figment Tuesday March 21st, 2000 10:51:33 AM
"I would have to agree with you, Dakar. I will sleep now. Rest well when it is your turn.". The mage sleeps by the fire.
K'nara Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 6:00:34 AM
The leader of the Emerald Talons saved her own questions until the morning meal, after the watches were over and daylight illuminated the forest once more. "I should like to know how long you've been with the Tines, and the name of the person whom can confirm your story." she told Dakar. "We will be able to check with them later...forgive us our...paranoia, but when you have to worry about being a target of Parnoth's personal wrath--well, I'm sure you understand the need to be wary of newcomers." After hearing the warrior priest's response, the female fighter goes about the business of breaking camp and getting the supplies of medicine back on their way to the people that needs them.
Shadrach d10+1=7 Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 9:01:55 AM
The next morning, Shad got up to pray and thank his goddess for her help so far. He decided to take more healing spells to replace his augury spells. He casts one to heal his wounds from the previous day. Once done, he joined the others for breakfast. "I have sought the counsel of my goddess and she seems to think Dakar's okay. But for some reason, and who knows how gods think? She thinks that revenging ourselves on the rude leader of the bandit kobolds would hurt others. Maybe other kobolds, who knows?"
Surprise, Surprise(DM Sam) d8=6 Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 11:27:23 AM
even though everyone's nerves are on the edge, nothing happens during the night. after everyone has memorized spells and eaten a quick breakfast, everyone turns to Darkar, their questions on their lips. but before they are asked, a group of twelve elves emerges from the wood as if by magic. they are all armed with longbows and swords, except for one, which carries a staff. with a wave of his hand, the staff bearing elf motions the remaining elves to fan out, which they do. they stare at the party for a few moments, then turn their attention to the surrounding woods. once the partie's campsight has been surrounded, the remaining elf walks into the camp, his steps full of confedence, and perhaps a bit of joy. walking up to the nearest Tine, which happens to be K'nara, he says "Its good to see that you have arrives so soon! Im Calistan, an agent of the Tines in these parts. Im here to take you the rest of the way to Perpaguil."
Figment Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 11:27:24 AM
looks to K'nara to see how she handles this new group. The mage prepares to cast - not liking all these new people. "We were not told we would be met by anybody, and now we have 2 groups who know of us. This concerns me as great deal."
Milo Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 12:08:36 PM
Still invisible from the night before, Milo freezes where he stands, making not a sound or movement, and waits to see what happens. He thought that their presence would be masked going into the Emerald Kingdom, and being met by a contingent of elves armed with long bows does not comfort him by any stretch of the imagination.
Olana Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 12:56:16 PM
Olana nods at Shad as he tells them of his augury, some of which seems a little puzzling. Then - as the elves appear suddenly (either she was slipping, or they had excellent stealth skills)her initial look of surprise becomes a wide grin as her fellow creatures introduce themselves. Moving closer to Figment, she whispers excitedly "Everything's going to be fine, horse master, they're elves after all," before stepping forward to introduce herself after the elven party have finished talking to K'Nara.
Dakar the Painmonger Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 1:20:30 PM
Dakar responds to K'Nara's question as he finishes eating his meal, giving her the name of several reliable Tines. "As for why I joined them. I have been exiled from my hall. I broke an oath. I cannot do so again. I heard Parnoth was evil. I do not like evil. Therefore I joined the Tines." As the elves enter the clearing, Dakar, ever cautious, murmurs an oath to Domi below his breath "Domi, guide my eyes to ones who would seek the path of darkness"(Detect evil)
Flueterflam Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 6:06:39 PM
Fluet doesn't pay any attention to the elf with the staff. Instead he watches one, and only one, of the other elves. All the bard does is stare. His face becomes stone, and he virtually doesn't even blink. Then he gets a great idea. To the elf that he's staring at, Fluet whispers in elven, "hello." (ventriloquism) His expression doesn't change, but he eagerly awaits the elf's reaction.
Ingrge d6=4 Wednesday March 22nd, 2000 7:01:48 PM
listening to the conversation, Ingrge is mildly startled but on immediate alert as the first elf steps into the clearing. With a scowl on his face, a muttered, "is there anyone who doesn't know we are coming? If I ever get hold of that Maredrew, I will castrate him." Ingrge stands up and flanks K'narra but twelve feet apart.
Shadrach Thursday March 23rd, 2000 12:40:38 PM
He shrugged with good humor, relieved at the elves's entrance. *With such a large party, it's unlikely we'll attacked now.*
Surprise, Surprise(DM Sam) Thursday March 23rd, 2000 10:31:27 PM
Darkar's spell doenst detect any evil radiating from any of the elves. the elf that Flueterflam is trying to trick doesnt seem to notice what Flue is trying to do, while Calistan stands near K'nara, waiting for her to respond
K'nara Friday March 24th, 2000 6:20:35 AM
The tall human female eyed Calistan, the members of her party noticing that her right hand was curling into a fist, which she then drew sharply in towards her stomach. The unfamiliar elf paused for a moment, then mimicked her movement, only after his fist touched his own belly, Calistan turned the hand over and slowly unfurled it, palm side up. K'nara grinned, nodding. "Greetings, fellow Tines!" she said, coming forward and heartily shaking Calistan's hand. "We have the antidote to the dread disease that our brother Maredrew told us about...and a newcomer to our party--Dakar, here--" she indicated the dwarf, "--whom we wished to confirm is a member of the Tines, too." After hearing Calistan's response to her statement, the woman warrior continued: "So...how goes the fight against the Big Green Bugger, anyway? And how widespread is this...disease..?"
Shadrach Friday March 24th, 2000 12:26:27 PM
He let out the breath he'd been holding. He gave his fellow Talons a grin. "Everything will be alright now," he said assuringly. Then he seemed to grow troubled by his own statement and looked around at the woods nervously.
Olana Friday March 24th, 2000 2:12:32 PM
::grins, never doubting the other elves for a second, eager for news of what's been happening::
Milo Friday March 24th, 2000 4:05:46 PM
Milo materializes out of nothing, becoming visible in the midst of the group... he smiles weakly, and is visibly shaken as the stress of the trip is taking its toll on him... He silently goes about collecting his belongings and packing them into the wagon.
Figment Friday March 24th, 2000 9:32:09 PM
The mage holds in a non-threatening posture waiting for the elves to answer K'Nara - but he's ready.
Ingrge Friday March 24th, 2000 10:02:12 PM
Relaxing only just a bit, Ingrge warily eyes the group of new comers and the surrounding area as well.
Surprise, Surprise(DM Sam) Saturday March 25th, 2000 7:17:40 AM
Calistan looks at K'nara. "I dont know him personally, but I have heard of Dakar before. He is a new recruit from the north. The fight goes as it always does, nothing major has changed. And as far as the disease, because of Parnoth's quarenteen of this area, its not widespread, so it should be relatively easy to distribute the antidote. Well, whenever you are ready to go, me and my men will talke you to Peraguil." he says with a smile. he seems to be in high spirits.
Dakar the Painmonger Saturday March 25th, 2000 10:19:49 AM
Dakar begins strapping on his armor and sheathes his weapons, which he had lying by the improvised bed he had created out of twigs and leaves. "Hmmph. Women always assume that when a man claims something he is stretching the truth. I can think of nothing worse than becoming a goblin. If this antidote will not work perhaps we must take other means to relieve them of their suffering." He hefts his axe as he says this, and nods to K'nara. "I am prepared to go."
Flueterflam Saturday March 25th, 2000 3:21:45 PM
Fluet gathers his belongings. He quietly hums to himself as he waits for the rest to be ready.
Figment Saturday March 25th, 2000 11:22:12 PM
The mage offers his thoughts. "I would strongly suggest that you new people drink some of this tea now before we approach. It would be easier to help the populace if you refrained from turning into goblins...". After making the suggestion the mage makes sure his equipment is ready to go feeling much better now that his spells have been replentished. He hitches the horses - making sure to show Olana how he does things with them. Once complete he aids in the preparation of the tea.
Olana Sunday March 26th, 2000 3:05:34 PM
Olana listens carefully and follows Figments actions with the horses, eager to learn. At the mention of the new elves taking the antidote, she says "Oooh - what a good idea!" She gets ready for the off in an extremely good mood, although Milo's subdued behaviour doesn't go unnoticed. "You keep disappearing," she says to him with a chuckle, stopping alongside him for a moment. Then, after giving his shoulder a gentle squeeze -"Don't worry - everything's going to be alright now."
K'nara Monday March 27th, 2000 2:14:42 PM
"My mage colleague is correct," K'nara nodded agreement, "Before we go to Peraguil, you all should take the medicine we brought--this way we'll be sure that everyone here need not fear the transformation." The female fighter glanced at Dakar. "You, too, earthkin--you look like too capable a fighter to lose to some scourge fostered by Parnoth." After speaking the green dragon's name, K'nara spit on the ground, her anger at the reptile very evident.
What's That Noise?(DM Sam) Monday March 27th, 2000 9:41:05 PM
"Yes, drinking the tea is an exellent idea. We had planned on drinking it when we got to Perpaguil, but the village is about a day's travel off." Calistan then calls his men one at a time to drink the tea that Figment has prepared, then he drinks the tea himself. "By the gods, that was horrible!" he says when he finishes drinking it. "Well, it looks like everyone is ready......" he starts to say, then he immediatly stops talking when he sees that one of his men has thrusted his arm upwards and then brought it down in a sideways motion. immediatly all of the elves knock an arrow in their bows, glaring into the forest, while Calistan drops to one knee, motioning for everyone else to do the same. "We are not alone out here." he says, then he begins to pull out spell components.
Ingrge Monday March 27th, 2000 9:41:06 PM
Seeing the new elves go on alert status seems to really tick Ingrge off. "By Folbre's left eye, I am tired of all this unasked for interference." Turning to the woods and the direction of the sounds, Ingrge readies his staff and checks his daggers.
Dakar the Painmonger d20=1 Monday March 27th, 2000 10:44:24 PM
Dakar downs the tea with one long gulp. "Ah. Reminds me of the teas mother used to brew." As the sounds in the forest come closer Dakar hefts his axe into a battle position, and sprints towards the woods, beginning his battle song. He tries to put as much distance between himself and the rest of his party as is possible, in case he is overcome with the spirit of war.
Milo Tuesday March 28th, 2000 11:07:10 AM
Milo straightens up from Olana's embrace, smiling as he toys with the idea of pinching the fair elf lady... and then snaps from his musings as the elves go on alert. Looking to Ingrge with grim determination, "Of course not.. if it were expected, you couldn't say it was interference." Milo is seen drawing his sword as he activates his ring, fading into invisibility.
Figment Tuesday March 28th, 2000 11:25:29 AM
becomes invisible - and is very silent. He prepares to cast.
Flueterflam Tuesday March 28th, 2000 4:09:55 PM
Fluet does as the elves. He drops everything he doesn't need for battle, as silently as possible. Then he unslings his bow and nocks an arrow. His eyes graze the surroundings, looking for anything moving more than an inch. As he is scanning, he thinks to himself, 'If I get a chance later, one or more of these elves could probably help my shot and technique.'
Olana Tuesday March 28th, 2000 5:19:55 PM
At the alert, Olana immediately nocks an arrow, and stays by the wagons. If whoever was coming, wanted to take their cargo, they'd have get through her first.
K'nara Tuesday March 28th, 2000 5:53:17 PM
The unmistakeable sound of her sword slipping out of its sheath follow Callistan's announcement. "Not those damned kobolds AGAIN..!" growled the leader of the Talons. "They tried to waylay us earlier in our journey, the buggered little bandits!" K'nara scowled, squinting around into the surrounding forest, ready for anything...
What's That Noise?(DM Sam) Wednesday March 29th, 2000 12:58:15 AM
as Darkar starts to move into the forest, everyone else prepares for battle, either by drawing weapons or preparing spells. Callistan and the other elves brace themselves, waiting for the attack that they are expecting. after a few tense moments of waiting, 3 small rabbits come crawling out of the forest. they take one look at the assembled troops, then dash back into the forest. Callistan stands back up, wipes his forehead, and says, "By the gods, Parnoth and this foul disease has gotten us on the edge."
Figment Wednesday March 29th, 2000 10:20:04 AM
The mage frowns at the rabbits but whispers "Don't be so quick to dismiss this, that may not be it...". He remains ready.
Olana Wednesday March 29th, 2000 11:06:38 AM
No matter how hard she bites her lip, Olana can't help but break into a grin.
Milo Wednesday March 29th, 2000 11:39:12 AM
Stepping silently up beside K'nara Milo whispers,"Anybody for stewed rabbit?"
Dakar the Painmonger Wednesday March 29th, 2000 4:46:43 PM
Dakar raises his axe as he sees the woodland creatures run back into the bushes, and away from the clearing. Startled and angered his face contorts into a grimace of rage for a moment and he considers flaying one alive. However, the anger passes and he still waits in the woods for the attack he feels may be soon in coming.
Shadrach d20=18 Wednesday March 29th, 2000 9:57:40 PM
Shad narrowed his eyes, watching the rabbits. He suspected an illusion.(save vs. illusion succeeded.)
Lets Go(DM Sam) Thursday March 30th, 2000 12:59:14 AM
some people let down their guard, while others still remain tense, ready for a fight. after a few minuets of waiting for something to happen, Callisan rises from his kneeling position and says "If there is something out there, lets not wait around for it. Lets get moving." and he signals for his men to move out
Lets Go(DM Sam) Thursday March 30th, 2000 10:53:09 AM
and the rabbits seemed real to Shadrach
Figment Thursday March 30th, 2000 10:53:10 AM
the invisible mage ihitches up the horses, mounts up and prepares to depart.
Milo Thursday March 30th, 2000 10:53:11 AM
Remaining invisible, Milo sheaths his short sword and climbs up onto the bench of the wagon. Grabbing the reigns, he looks back at Shadrach and slips the ring off just long enough to become visible. Replacing the ring on his finger, the halfling smiles, "Coming?"
Olana Thursday March 30th, 2000 5:16:42 PM
Glancing at K'Nara for a moment, for an affirmation -the elf then hops up on the wagon, ready for the off. "All set?" she asks Fluet.
Dakar the Painmonger Thursday March 30th, 2000 5:42:37 PM
Dakar leaps atop his Burro and gives it a kick to the side, forcing it into a slow ambling trot. He remains silent as the journey continues onwards, quietly aware of his surroundings.
Shadrach Thursday March 30th, 2000 10:09:54 PM
He frowned and climbed up onto the wagon.
K'nara Friday March 31st, 2000 6:26:34 AM
The woman warrior eyed the bunnies and then sighed, helping to make sure the cargo was secure and that everyone was ready to go, muttering about kobolds and rabbit stew. "Okay, if we're all set," K'nara announced, swinging up into Poki's saddle, "On to Peraguil!" (OOC: is it Peraguil--as originally spelled--or Perpaguil--as most recently spelled by the DM?)
Flueterflam Friday March 31st, 2000 5:30:59 PM
"Yup, I'm ready." Fluet gets on the wagon, ready to proceed.

once everyone is ready to go, Callistan sends most of his men ahead to scout, keeping two of the archchers with him and the group. one of them goes into the woods for a moment then comes out with three horses. "Lets go!" he exclaims, then he spurrs his horse into action, and he and his men begin down the road
Shadrach Friday March 31st, 2000 9:51:45 PM
Darkly, he muttered, "Once more, into the breach, dear friends."
Ingrge Sunday April 2nd, 2000 4:21:26 PM
Gathering Moonshadow, Ingrge hops up and moves out with the others

The invisible mage rides within the circle of the archer to the rear (I'm assuming one goes there) comfortable to allow him to be the guy in the back.
Milo Monday April 3rd, 2000 1:45:50 PM
Milo sits visibly in the wagon seat for the first time in a while, guiding the horses with a cheerful cluck. His broad rimmed straw hat once again adorns his head, and he whistles a merry tune... confident that with the help of these elven warriors, they will reach their destination in due course.
Olana Monday April 3rd, 2000 4:06:10 PM
Olana drives the horses on, with help from Fluet, staying alert despite their new escort.

once everyone gets on the way, Callistan takes the lead. "Follow me. I know the quickest way to Peraguil." the party travels most of the day at an easy pace. though weary for attacks, nothing bothers the party. its late in the afternoon when Callistan says "We are almost there, just an hour or so."
K'nara Tuesday April 4th, 2000 6:05:39 AM
The chestnut-haired woman rode along, turning over her recent revelation to the other Talons in her mind. She hadn't heard reactions from the two best candidates for the job of "Living Legend"--Ingrge and Olana. K'nara wondered if she wasn't being a little too ambitious with her proposal...after all, trying to bring down a dragon while fending off the advance of such an enemy as the Dark Lord was NOT going to be easy...nor would it be quick. Hence her choice of the elves of the party as the figureheads of legend. History showed that it was the elves who'd first settled and shaped the heavily-forested lands of the Emerald Kingdom, and thus they were entitled to have a ruler that was elven as well...but, still--the publicity that K'nara was hoping to generate would make life extremely hard for whomever would actually take on the responsibility of it. The female fighter grimaced slightly as she acknowledged that she was glad that humans were relatively short-lived...this way *she* didn't have to worry about having to live up to the public's expectations of a living legend.

Still not feeling good about all the new add-ons, the invisible mage continues to follow the caravan - watching the elf to his rear closely for unusual behavior.
Olana Tuesday April 4th, 2000 12:57:07 PM
Riding along, Olana noticed that K'Nara seemed in deep thought about something. Maybe when they reached their destination, she'd ask what it was. As for Pereguil, she didnt really know what to expect, so she kept her eyes and ears open.
Flueterflam Tuesday April 4th, 2000 5:09:54 PM
The bard is quiet, keeping to himself lately. He appears to be deep in thought, completely oblivious to his surroundings.
Dakar the Painmonger Tuesday April 4th, 2000 5:09:55 PM
The dwarf kicks his burro into gear, catching up to K'Nara. "I Anticipate a fight shortly. It is possible, and is my belief that this Callistan character may be more than he appears. Although he is not evil he may still be someone to be watched. However, suspecting everyone will only lead to sorrow and death."

after a bit more traveling, Callistan says, "We are here." even though it still seems to everyone that they are still in the forest. then Callistan points up at a tree, and everyone notices a house that has been built in the trees! if Callistan hadnt pointed it out, it is doubtful that anyone would of ever seen it. once everyone looks around, they can see more and more houses interweaved in the stout branches of the trees. "Follow me, my friends. The stables are this way" Calistan says as he slow his horse down to a trot, leading the party towards a thick clump of trees
Ingrge Tuesday April 4th, 2000 9:19:59 PM
Lost deep in thought as they wind their ways through the forest, Ingrge ponders the possible meanings of their new friends, the disease, K'narra's project. "Replace Parnoth?" And Keep the Dark Lord at Bay? yeah right, what is she thinking. I mean She's the Blade Singer....." Ingrge is so deep in thought that he almost doesnt realize that they are stopped and at their destination until he is passing those that were in front of him and he almost runs into one of the wagons.
Shadrach Tuesday April 4th, 2000 11:04:32 PM
Shad goggled at the treecity. "You've got to be kidding! Forget it, I'm staying on the ground!"
Milo Wednesday April 5th, 2000 12:08:36 AM
Glancing over at Shadrach in mock disbelief... and muttering under his breath sarcastically so only Shad can hear... "My dear priest... isn't it so grand that the elves can put their homes at eye level with the current ruler of their land..." Milo openly smiles, and then clears his throat and straightens his face all in the same cough.
K'nara Wednesday April 5th, 2000 7:51:55 AM
The human woman looked down at the dwarven male. "Wise words, cleric of Domi," she nodded, "Ones I will keep in mind." As they rode toward the stables, K'nara couldn't suppress the amused smile that briefly flashes across her face at Shadrach's declaration. "What, Shad? You're afraid that some killer squirrels will feast upon your bones..?" she teased him, looking directly at him with sparkling hazel eyes.
Figment Wednesday April 5th, 2000 11:22:58 AM
The mage smiles as he gazes on a city the likes of which he's only read of in his studies. "My, my, what a wonderful place.". He studies the architecture of the houses as he follows the others to the stables. "I doubt we'll encounter any kobold bands here."
Olana Wednesday April 5th, 2000 1:01:31 PM
Olana nods to herself as they arrive. This place was well concealed - a very good example of tree-building. After breaking into a grin at Milo's remark and Shad's trepidation, not to mention Ingrge not watching where he's going, she drives the wagon toward the stable, giving Fluet a nudge. "We're here," she whispers.
