Session Start: Fri Sep 08 18:04:59 2006 Session Ident: #Aeoth [18:04] * Now talking in #Aeoth [18:05] * Arwen has joined #aeoth [18:05] * Arwen is now known as Garret [18:05] 'sup my nigga. [18:09] * NinjaDebugger has joined #Aeoth [18:09] * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa [18:38] [Okay, I think I can start this. Yeah. Um... Crap, when did the game leave off...] [18:39] ( Kard and Lucy were heading to rejoin the caravan while Clarissa and Garret had, presumably already joined. ) [18:40] [Yeah, I'm trying to remember the time. Was it in early June?] [18:46] [Date: June 25th, 1221 ECE Yeah, lots of time went by, but I figure you guys don't want to RP the wagon wheels turning.] [18:48] [Welcome to New Anbor, as some of you have already reached here (Garret and Clarissa) and those of you who are just arriving (Lucy and Kardos) have found out is a coastal city! Or maybe you've been here before or seen a pseudo-accurate map. Anyways, the city has a long and deep cultural heratage, yada yada...] [18:49] [But, you're not here for that, no. You're hear because of FAME! FORTUNE! ALE! WENCHES! And all that cool jazz floats your boat. Or maybe you're just here because the plot train pushed you here...] [18:50] * Robin is now known as Kardos [18:50] [Actually, in all reality, you're probably here just to get paid. And make sure the shipment of 'tobacco' got through.] [18:51] (Khrosk is with us!) [18:53] [Yes he is! BECAUSE HE IS TEH AWESOME!] [18:53] ( Yay! ) [18:53] ( -_-; ) [18:54] [Although the guards looked at you VERY strangely for taking the orc into town, there wasn't a random ordinance they could throw at you to stop it.] [19:01] [New Anbor is a bustling, but small city, settled by the people of the Inden isles on the north-east coast of Gisal. It's main source of income is, well, trade, as it is in a prime location for such. Several ships, both exploratory and trade-minded, have been dispatched from this port, and it wouldn't be surprising if some great discoveries come from here in the future.] [19:03] [But for now, onto the more important matters at hand. MONEY! Kardos and Lucy are entering the gates and just inside the gates are the short-term-stay residential areas, where many of the caravans take up temporary residence to sell their wares and handle business.] [19:03] [Session start!] [19:03] * Lucy steps into the gate and admires the diversity of the atmosphere. [19:06] * Kardos steps through the gate and tries to cover his nose after noticing the diversity of the atmosphere. [19:06] * Garret takes a deep breath in the face of diversity! [19:09] * Clarissa steps inside and looks around, trying not to breathe too deeply. [19:09] [Diversity is a good way to describe the city. Races of almost every size and shape can be seen, even the odd lizardfolk, kobold, or even the more bizzare goliath or raptoran. For the most part, it's human, elven, and gnome dominated, though.] [19:10] [The caravan's been situated there for a good 2 days waiting for Kardos and Lucy to catch up, so Clarissa and Garret have had time to look around town a bit, liquidate goods, and such.] [19:12] Let's find them. [19:12] HOpe we didn't slow them down too much [19:13] * Kardos simply nods, hoping he won't have to try tracking their companions by scent. [19:13] [It's not too hard to find them, they're the third caravan in the second row down the fifth street. Can't miss'em.] [19:15] * Garret is with the caravan! He's sitting on the edge of one of the wagons, polishing his shoes and humming to himself. His staff is nearby. [19:15] * Lucy waves [19:16] (Shoes being synonymous with boots. XD) [19:16] * Clarissa is happily examining a small bag of gems, and picking out the ones she wants. [19:16] * Garret looks up and doffs his hat to Lucy. "I see you made it," he says with a smile. [19:17] * Kardos nods to Garret and says "Good day." [19:17] * Lucy smiles. "Glad to see you again. Hope you didn't find the wait too terrible." [19:17] * Wedge spreads his arms in welcome. "Ah, Lucy, Kardos! I was afraid I wouldn't see you again! Thank you, thank you so much." [19:17] * Kardos still looks like he's making an effort to breathe without smelling or tasting the air; he isn't making much progress. [19:17] A bit, but I'll be off soon enough. Some time to put the accounts in order isn't too unwelcome. [19:17] Ah, Wedge. I am pleased to see that you are well. [19:18] * Kardos does seem pleased, although in his usual subdued way. [19:18] [The scents are FAR too subdued to make out much of anything in specifics right now. There's just way too much going on.] [19:20] Ah, yes, I do hope you didn't have too much trouble reaching us. I was afraid you wouldn't find your way here, but Clarissa and Garret assured me you could reach us just fine.] [19:20] * Khrosk is strangely absent. [19:20] * Garret sets his left boot down and starts on his right, scraping gunk off of it. "Anybody can find north," he reasons. "How were the elves?" [19:21] Finding north is easy, just look for the mossy side of the tree. [19:21] They were pretty hospitable. [19:23] * Kardos nods. "They were well, and they were aware of the orc encampment, but we were able to provide additional information." [19:24] Additionally, they are rallying assistance in order to remove the camp. [19:25] Good to hear. [19:25] * Kardos nods. [19:25] * Garret scrubs at the top vigorously. "I think the head is a couple of wagons down. You might want to talk to him about pay." [19:26] * Kardos nods again. "I hope the remainder of your journey was uneventful?" [19:26] That's ceratinly good to hear. Biggs is still recovering from his ordeal, but he's expected to make a full recovery. As for payment, I decided that letting you take your pick of some of my wears or some gold would suffice for those of you more inclined to such things... Our journey was rather uneventful, thank you. ^^ [19:26] Glad to hear you're alright [19:26] * Kardos nods. "I am glad." [19:30] * Clarissa grabs one of the gems off the cloth. "Okay, done!" [19:30] * Garret looks at Clarissa, amused. "Took you long enough." [19:31] * Lucy smiles [19:31] When selecting gems, it is necessary to take only those of best quality. [19:31] Anything else is definitely sub-optimal. [19:31] * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger [19:31] * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa [19:35] * Clarissa bundles up the other stones into two bags, puts those in two larger bags of coinage, and holds one each out to Lucy and Kardos. [19:37] * Kardos takes a ring and examines it, and intones in almost legalistic terms that he will accept it was payment. [19:37] * Kardos accepts his lewt from Clari, as well. [19:38] * Lucy looks over the wares and turns to the others. "What would you reccomend? [19:40] The haversack and the hat are most optimal. For sheer burst power, I suggest the oils, or the necklace. [19:40] ( Retcon. ) [19:40] ( Pls? ) [19:40] (Sure.) [19:41] (What're you retconning? c.c) [19:41] ( Kard already has a ring. ) [19:41] (Oh.) [19:41] ( I've already got a ring identical to the one Kard just picked. So unless they stack... ) [19:42] (Which they don't.) [19:42] ( Exactly. ) [19:42] The horseshoes are also an excellent choice. [19:42] * Kardos selects a vial of oil and nods his thanks to Wedge. [19:43] * Wedge nods back to Kardos. "Fine choice. Those vials are very rare, and will turn even a mundane weapon into a most potent one for almost one full day." [19:43] Likely to be useful at some point. [19:44] * Wedge nods. [19:45] I don't like to take stuff that gets used up... so it's probably the hat or the sack [19:45] * Garret pulls out a silver coin. "Would you like me to flip for you?" [19:46] The sack is always useful, but the horseshoes are optimal for your style of combat. [19:46] * Wedge smiles. "The sack's very good, it can hold much more than it shows. And anything inside is essentially weightless!" [19:46] While the hat, like many of its type, will let you impersonate just about anyone. Just make sure not to open your mouth. [19:47] Nah, doesn't sound like my style. What can you tell me about the horseshoes, though? [19:48] I can vouch for the value of Heward's sack; mine has served well. [19:49] Ah, if you like your steed fast, the horseshoes will do just that, increasing their speed greatly. For most horses, it can increase their speed to one and a half, while slower horses can almost double in speed. [19:50] * Lucy looks to the horse that is sometimes called Thundar the Barbarian for a reaction. [19:50] * THUNDAR THE BARBARIAN does not look swayed one way or the other. [19:52] I'll take the shoes. [19:53] * Wedge nods. "Will you need someone to put them on your steed for you? I don't know how well versed you are in these things." [19:55] That'd be great. [20:00] Okay, hold on... [20:01] * Wedge pulls out a quill and some parchment and quickly jots down a name and address. "There you go, just tell him Wedge sent you, he'll understand." [20:01] Sure, thanks [20:02] * Garret finishes his other boot and looks it over, gives it a satisfied nod, and pulls them back onto his feet. [20:03] * Kardos hums. [20:03] ( Whoop. Wrong channel. ) [20:05] * Garret finishes, slaps his legs, and gets to his feet. He grabs his walking stick and turns to the rest of you with a smile. "Well, I'd best be off." [20:05] Oh? And where are you going? [20:06] * Kardos pauses, thinking. "Or does it matter?" [20:06] * Clarissa looks up at Garret and sighs. [20:06] Not really, but I figure I'll head towards Oriel. [20:06] * Kardos nods. [20:06] * Garret blinks. "Something wrong, Clarissa?" [20:06] I don't want you to leave. [20:06] Oh. [20:07] * Kardos looks between Clarissa and Garret, nods, and scrupulously says nothing more on the subject. [20:07] * Garret thinks about that for a moment, then chuckles. "That's not something I hear often, I'm afraid." [20:07] * Wedge holds out his right hand to Garret for him to grasp. [20:07] Ah... [20:07] * Garret shakes Wedge's hand. "Good travelling with you." [20:07] It's a shame to have to say bye this early. Let's hope we'll meet again? [20:07] You too. If you need me and I'm around, don't hesitate to ask. [20:08] I'll keep that in mind, and the same goes for you. Good luck with your business. [20:09] It was good travelling with you, as well, Garret. I enjoyed our discussions on theology. [20:11] Thanks [20:13] I did too, Kardos. People usually don't like to talk about those things. [20:13] * Garret grins. "Or they take them too seriously." [20:14] * Kardos tilts his head at that, looking momentarily confused, and then nods. "Well, more the pitty; much of your ideas are unconventional, but no less well-thought for it." [20:16] * Garret nods, then looks back to Clarissa. He crouches a little to look her in the eyes. "I'll miss you too, you know. Not many people know what's optimal or not." He says that like he's totally serious. [20:17] Anybody who looks can see it. [20:17] * Clarissa sniffs and looks disturbingly like the little girl she is, then reaches out and grabs Garret in a hug. [20:18] * Garret blinks, then leans his staff back against the wagon and gives Clarissa a hug back. Aw. [20:19] [Awwww.] [20:19] * Kardos seems confused by this, as well. But it's still sweet. Awwww. [20:22] * Clarissa lets Garret go. "I have to go report to the Order. [20:23] The Or... ah, that is right. [20:23] * Lucy watches. [20:23] Do you mind if we accompany you? [20:24] * Clarissa shrugs. [20:24] * Garret nods and reaches into the side pouch of his pack. "Before you go." He hands it to Clarissa; it's a long, satiny, curled pink ribbon. At the top is a small bow with a bit of lace and a pin in the back. "Here." [20:26] * Kardos has marked difficulty looking directly at the bright pinkness; he squints and half-looks at it as though trying to observe a renegade sun. [20:26] * Clarissa blinks. [20:26] * Lucy smiles. [20:26] * Clarissa takes the ribbon gently. "What's this?" [20:28] * Garret smiles. "Just a present." He taps it. "I enchanted it so it'll glow as well as your light spell when you want, so you don't need to waste your time with that nonsense when you need a source." [20:30] * Clarissa smiles happily. [20:31] * Kardos is *very* confused, now. He makes note to engage in further study on the subject. [20:31] * Garret pushes Clarissa's hat so it's more firmly on her head - maybe that's like ruffling someone's hair? - and then stands fully, giving the lot of you a wave. "Take care. I'll see you around." [20:31] Good luck [20:32] * Kardos nods. "Swift travels and calm weather, Garret." [20:33] B-bye, Garret. [20:34] Enjoy the journey, Clarissa. I expect you'll me all about it. [20:34] * Garret smiles, doffs his hat, and walks on out towards city proper, weaving through the crowds. He's quickly out of sight. [20:35] * Lucy watches, looking forward to their next meeting. [20:35] * Kardos is quiet as he tries to figure out how to handle a sad little girl. [20:37] * Clarissa stuffs the ribbon in her pocket and starts slowly in the direction of the Order's office. [20:38] * Kardos decides to accompany her, if nothing else. [20:38] * Lucy walks alongside her [20:48] [Session End! Awww. *hugs Clarissa*] [20:49] awww [20:49] * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger [20:49] Heh. [20:49] o_o; [20:49] Aw. [20:49] Why the o_o;? [20:51] Nothing. [20:52] Okay. [20:54] * Kardos is now known as Robin [21:00] * Disconnected Session Close: Fri Sep 08 21:00:40 2006
