[18:36:50] * Robin (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth [18:36:58] * Robin is now known as Kardos [18:37:03] * CCD is now known as Leo [18:37:16] [18:28:31] * Zegon changes topic to 'Website coming eventually. Keep your pants on. Srsly, keep them on. c.c' [18:37:16] * Retrieving #Aeoth modes... [18:37:16] [18:36:10] * Lucy removes pants. [18:37:19] XD [18:37:41] * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa [18:43:58] [Day: August 20th, 1221 ECE. Time: Midday is your best guess. It's hard to tell with all the freakin' fog.] [18:47:26] [We find our heroes gleeing in the wealth of two trolls they 'liberated' it from, the monetary value of which is very substantial. Also, in the process of fighting off the trolls, they found Khrosk who was searching after a little loli-bait elfgirl. Fortunately they were able to easily drive back the trolls as earlier described. The elfgirl, who has yet to give you her name, is very childish but seems to have come out just to retrieve...] [18:48:02] [her mother's pearl: a unique large green pearl. The group should probably decide what they are to do next.] [18:48:06] [Session start!] [18:49:12] * The elfgirl is still crying and sniffling, after confessing about losing the pearl in the first place. Khrosk looks rather confused. [18:49:35] * Lucy hugs the little elfgirl and says General Lines of Comfort. "There there. Everything is alright now." [18:52:01] * Hank is sitting with the loot, peering at some of the gems and humming to himself. [18:52:02] * The little girl takes the opportunity to hug Lucy and cry into her. [18:52:22] We should at least escort her and her heirloom back home. [18:52:38] Now if only we knew how to get there. [18:52:38] * Leo nods in agreement. [18:53:01] How far from ehre do you live? [18:54:54] * Kardos looks at Clarissa. "Wouldn't she know that?" [18:55:52] If we're lucky, yes. If not, well. She did get here, so the odds are probably in our favor. [18:55:54] * She doesn't seem to understand Lucy and just keeps rying. [18:57:13] Do you speak Elven? [18:57:46] I can... [18:58:30] * Hank looks up from a gem. "Kids are cute and all, but could you muzzle her? That noise makes it really hard to look for flaws." [18:58:30] * Lucy hugs the little elfgirl and says General Lines of Comfort. IN ELVEN [19:01:14] [The gemstones Hank is looking at are generally in good condition. Even though most have imperfections, they're still very pretty and could be used for a number of spells as components, or even placed in jewelry once cut to a nicer finish.] [19:02:13] [19:02:23] I can take a look at those for you later, if you like. I'm no fence, Hank, but I knew a bit about pricing. [19:03:38] * Her cries slow down until they trickle to a sniffle, herself choaking on her words almost as they come out. "" *gulp* "" [19:03:59] Always a good idea to get two opinions before we hit the shops. They look pretty good, though. Not the best, but not bad for a troll hoard. [19:04:04] * Lucy nods. "" [19:07:06] What can we do to help? [19:07:52] * She nods slowly and looks up at Starbrite, going starry-eyed at the rainbow mane and nearly forgetting about her troubles. "" [19:08:23] * Clarissa laughs. [19:08:32] That's Starbright. You can ride with me. [19:09:17] I'm sure he's pleased you like his colors. [19:09:21] * She looks a little confused at Clarissa, but kind of understands what she's saying. She intones questioningly "Starbrite?" as she points at the horse. [19:09:31] * Clarissa facepalms. [19:09:44] Ah, let me translate. [19:09:56] * Clarissa says, in elven this time, [19:10:04] ... ah. You know already? [19:10:11] Good. [19:10:12] * Lucy smiles. [19:10:38] I speak nine languages, Lucy. Most mages learn to speak elven at some point, just as a matter of necessity. [19:10:43] * She grins. "" [19:11:03] [19:11:06] Ah. Neat. [19:12:19] * She runs over to the horsie, gripping the pearl in both hands as she wonders how she's going to get up. Khrosk thumps over right behind her. [19:12:31] Khrosk put elf-girl on girl-horsie? [19:13:10] * Clarissa mounts up. "Lift her up here, please, Khrosk." [19:13:15] Sure, Khrosk. [19:13:17] That works. [19:13:59] * Khrosk picks her up and plops her down on the horse before she can respond. [19:14:30] * Hank looks up. "Oh, we're leaving?" [19:15:05] Yeah [19:15:22] * Hank nods and swiftly gathers the lewt. [19:15:40] We're taking the girl and the pearl back to her mother. The rest of the stuff, we can probably keep, unless the trolls swiped 'em from other people and they don't feel like taking them back [19:16:21] * Leo nods and follows. [19:16:33] Hey, now. Finder's Keepers is adventuring rules, Lucy. [19:16:58] Unless there's a reward for giving it back. Giving up treasure for no reason is definitely suboptimal. [19:17:00] [Indeed it is. Rule 1 is 'Always loot the bodies'.] [19:17:57] * Lucy shrugs. [19:19:58] It can be better put to use equipping us to take on bigger dangers to civilization. [19:20:16] Which, incidentally, also yield greater rewards. [19:20:19] * Hank eyes Lucy. "Did you take a hit to the head or something? Because I really thought I heard the words 'give the stuff back' come out of your mouth, which confuses me." [19:20:36] What a strange economic system. [19:20:49] Well, sometimes the world smiles at you if you do good things, you know? [19:21:14] I AM doing good things. I'm moving the treasure back into the economy. [19:21:14] * Leo shakes his head. "We should help the people if we can but if we can't..." [19:21:28] Before it was just... SITTING there. [19:22:04] Now, it's out doing things! Just thinking about it gives me chills, kinda. [19:22:14] Khrosk like shinies. ^^ [19:22:54] Exactly, Khrosk. [19:23:03] Hey, sometimes a lot gets done when you're sitting down. Like, thinking. [19:23:19] If gold can think, I'll eat my cloak. [19:24:10] I could arrange that, if you like. [19:24:42] Think I'll pass for now. I just got this cloak. [19:24:45] * Hank winks. [19:26:23] * Clarissa giggles. [19:26:50] * Lucy smiles. [19:28:08] [19:30:15] * The elfgirl looks at Lucy with a 'who me?' look, then points at herself. "" [19:31:43] * Lucy motions. "" [19:34:54] * The elfgirl nods and smiles, pointing at Clarissa. "Clair-is-sa." [19:35:43] * Hank waves at the girl when his name comes up. [19:37:00] [As you head out, Spring Rabbit points the direction that the group should head as they move through the fog. It's not too long, maybe a half-hour or so, before the fog parts and you find yourselves MUCH closer to the elven village. Almost directly on top of and underneath it, in fact. Description incoming.] [19:39:54] [The village, if you could call it that, is fairly impressive given it size. It can't be too large, and yet it seems bigger than it is, giving it an illusion of grandeur. The village consists of two main areas: the lower area on the forest floor, and an elevated section in the huge trees overhead. A couple unicorns cross your path as you get closer, and as some of the elves spot you, they either hide or run for whatever reason.] [19:41:09] * Hank looks up. "I'm kind of glad most aristocrats don't spring for the treehouses." [19:41:44] * Clarissa watches the Unicorns in awe. [19:41:55] * Lucy smiles at the unicorns and waves. [19:42:09] * Leo stares a bit looking around, not ashamed to gawk. [19:42:27] [The elves in this area aren't the standard variety, and seem to be stronger. Most have hair that is either red, brown, or somewhere inbetween. Spring Rabbit has hair that is bright red, for those who cared to note it.] [19:44:39] * Lucy speaks loudly, but calmly. "" [19:44:54] [One of the guardsmen, who is in fact a woman, rides by on a unicorn mount and salutes you, putting her left hand to her right elbow as she keeps her right arm straight forward. [19:44:55] ] [19:45:48] * After a moments pause considering you, she stutters for a moment, then starts speaking clear common. "I had heard more outsiders had made it to us, but I didn't believe it would be so soon." [19:46:36] * Lucy smiles and nods. "Hey there. I'm Lucy." [19:47:00] * Leo wisely keeps his mouth shut. [19:47:33] * Hank keeps on looking up. He's counting out something on his fingers. [19:49:05] * Clarissa dismounts, leaving Spring Rabbit to bond with Starbright [19:49:18] * Clarissa walks slowly toward the Unicorns, as though afraid they might run away. [19:51:36] I am called Unicorn Flower, and it's very interesting to meet you.

[19:56:30] * Kardos starts paying attention again; he had been lost in thought on the subject of heroic economics and talking money. [19:57:52] * Clarissa reaches out a hand, slowly, to touch one. [19:57:58] * Lucy stands by and lets Spring Rabbit have her chance to tell an Awesome Story. [19:57:59] * Spring rabbit clutches tightly onto Starbrite's mane as she is addressed by Unicorn Flower. "" She meekly manages a smile. "" [19:59:22] * The unicorn Clarissa reaches out to touch runs off just as her hand touches the creature's fur. The other one speeds off right after it out of sight. [20:00:21] Noooooo! Come back! [20:00:44] * Unicorn Flower frowns. " Well adventurers. What are your reasons for coming he-" [20:01:38] * Lucy frowns at Clarissa. [20:01:45] You'll get another chance. Don't worry [20:02:28] * Unicorn Flower looks at Clarissa. "Hey! Don't go scaring them off." [20:02:46] * Leo shakes his head a bit. [20:03:01] * Kardos tilts his head in curiosity. [20:03:03] I didn't do anything! [20:03:11] Just touched one! Only a little! [20:03:32] * Hank looks back down at the elf, then over at Clarissa, then back,. [20:04:05] If they deem you worthy, they will come closer. Be patient child. [20:06:18] * Clarissa sighs. "I'll never get to pact with them, anyway. They don't pact with mages." [20:06:32] One of 'em let you touch them briefly. That must mean something, right? [20:07:54] They obviously like you a little, let them come to you on thier own time. [20:08:04] * Lucy turns back to Unicorn Flower. "We're here to bring her back. We're kinda lucky we found her when we did. There were a couple... well, trolls about. Khrosk over there found her first and held them off while the rest of us tried to catch up." [20:09:06] * Khrosk looks like he's a 'bit nervous here. So many pointy-ears. [20:09:54] * Clarissa climbs back in the saddle, still looking terribly disappointed. ;_; [20:11:03] ... Uh-huh. [20:12:42] Strange but true. [20:12:55] What other reason do you have to come here? [20:13:20] We're supposed to prove to you that we're competent to travel in your realms. [20:14:58] * Unicorn Flower looks a little confused at Clarissa. "And what pushes you to do that?" [20:16:39] The Fey. [20:17:33] We ran across a note of theirs. It wasn't easy finding it, picking it up, or reading it. Pretty much gave us a list of things to do before we can finally meet them [20:18:54] They seem to be picky about their guests. [20:19:21] * Unicorn Flower nods slowly. "You will need to speak with the shaman then, Big Bird. I will gladly take you to him after we take Spring Rabbit to her mother." [20:19:45] * Lucy nods. "Thanks." [20:19:48] * Leo nods looking respectful and keeping his mouth shut. [20:28:08] [After delivering Spring Rabbit, who gets a severe scholding from her mother, Unicorn Flower guides you to Big Bird's hut, which isn't so much a hut but a hollowed out, very LARGE, tree trunk. There's a fire going inside, and it's evident you aren't the only outsiders here as there are a number of other horses there. Of particular note are a solid black heavy warhorse in full barding with the insignia of Heironeous on its barding and...] [20:28:45] [a multi-colored riding dog. Literally rainbow-colored.] [20:29:20] * Lucy blinks. "ooh. Awesome." [20:30:13] * Kardos blinks. "The town is unusually popular, today." [20:30:37] That's rather garish. [20:31:01] * Kardos looks at Clarissa's rainbow-colored horse. [20:31:12] * Leo blinks looking at the two. [20:31:13] * Kardos looks back to the rainbow-colored dog. [20:31:27] ( Note: Only the mane and tail are rainbow, not the whole thing. The rest is white. ) [20:32:14] [The entrance to the tree trunk (it must be at least 50' in diameter) is a rather large room, in which what you could only guess is Big Bird (an elf dressed almost completely in feathers, covering most of his body) speak to another group of adventurers on the other side of the room.] [20:33:08] * Kardos bows to Big Bird as the group enters. [20:33:21] * Leo follows behind Kardos. [20:34:22] Greetings. [20:34:54] [There are five of them in all. One, a half-elf paladin of Heironeous, has red hair and a plain-looking sword at her side. She's heavily armored and carefully considering what he's telling her.] [20:36:42] [Another, a halfling who seems more eager to get out and do something than anything else, seems ready to get away with whatever he can. [20:37:13] [Another, a halfling who seems more eager to get out and do something than anything else, seems ready to get away with whatever he can. Instead of the standard crossbows at his side, though, he has a number of wands holstered. He's in studded leather as well.] [20:39:27] [Third is an elf of high breeding, who has a hawk perched on his shoulder. He's dressed mostly in bright greens and is carefully writing a few things down in a book as he's listening to the (clearly) crazy man.] [20:40:18] [A series of stones orbits his head, and a staff with obvious magic potential signifies him as some sort of mage.] [20:41:50] [Fourth is what you would guess some sort of swordsage, a pair of claws holstered at his side. He has a number of scars and tatoos and is wearing simple leather armor, but looks like he could flip out and kill someone at a moment's notice.] [20:47:22] [Finally, there is a female priest of some type there. Strangely enough, she doesn't seem to be overly concerned with how things seem to be going, but there's a notable aura of gold around her. On her shield is the symbol of Bahamut, surrounded by eight gold points. An odd adaptation of the symbol, to be certain. For the time being she's obviously with the party, but seems to be more observing than interceeding.] [20:48:03] * Lucy waits til the leader is done talking. [20:51:57] * Big Bird speaks a few more quick phrases to the other group. The paladin nods and, with the other female (whom I forgot to name the race of. For the record, she's a spellscale), they head into an offshot room to presumably meditate or something. The halfling looks fet up and walks out past you to have some fun, the swordsage close behind. The elf seems to... have fallen asleep.] [20:52:25] * Big Bird looks quickly back at you with sharp eyes. "Now why didn't you say something if you're waiting there?!" [20:54:14] We did not wish to interrupt, sir. [20:54:59] No interrupt. Come come, you have much to ask if you came all the way here! [20:55:32] * Big Bird motions at the matts around a fire in the middle of the room. [20:56:32] * Kardos nods and has a seat. [21:00:32] * Lucy sits down. [21:02:50] * Hank sits down, legs folderd under him. [21:04:09] [Session End!] [21:04:32] * Clarissa is now known as NinjaDebugger [21:05:17] * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: ) [21:06:29] * Leo is now known as CCD [21:09:00] * NinjaDebugger is now known as SleepDebugger [21:42:58] 'Night, all. :3 [21:43:25] bye [21:44:43] * Kardos (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) Quit (Quit: WHEE!
