Session Start: Fri Feb 23 18:01:13 2007
Session Ident: #Aeoth
[18:01:13] * Now talking in #Aeoth
[18:01:20] * Disconnected
[18:01:33] * Rejoined channel #Aeoth
[18:32:40] * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) has joined #aeoth
[18:34:49] * Robin (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth
[18:34:56] * Robin is now known as Kardos
[18:35:02] <Zegon> So.
[18:35:05] <Zegon> Four people.
[18:35:14] <Zegon> I don't know where CCD is.  I'm guessing he's at some jobhunting thing?
[18:35:30] <Hank> Possibly.
[18:35:56] * NinjaDebugger is now known as Clarissa
[18:38:04] <Zegon> Hokay.  I have no clue where you guys are going.
[18:38:04] <Zegon> So.
[18:38:18] <Zegon> Let's get this train-wreck-a-rolling.
[18:40:48] <Kardos> Yay, clueless trainwreck!
[18:41:26] <Zegon> [Right, so.  You guys have achieved objective 1, being proving your strength by earning passage into the wild elves' land.  Two more to go before you earn the ability to enter the court of the Seliee.  Of course, that's assuming this isn't all one giant joke, which it could be but probably wouldn't be because that'd just be mean.]
[18:41:54] <Clarissa> ( wait, that makes it more likely to be a joke )
[18:42:09] <Hank> (srsly)
[18:44:28] <Zegon> [The day is still August 20th, and the next objective of the supposed joke as you are pointing out (or IS it?), is to search one of scales and discuss the nature of magic with such a being.  Presumably, this is a dragon of some kind, given they tend to be both smart about that and have scales.]
[18:46:01] <Zegon> [It's about midday, and you now have quickly vacated the vicinity of Big Bird's pad.  The crazy old elf (thankfully) didn't try to stop you.  Although it might have been more amusing if he did.  Oh, and you had a truly crappy vision experience too, but we don't need to get into that.]
[18:46:05] <Zegon> [Session start!]
[18:46:28] * Clarissa (NinjaDebug@ip24-252-56-222.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: Turtles fight with honor. Ninja do not. Discuss.)
[18:50:57] * Hank stretches. "Ugh. All the bad parts of a forest combined with all the bad parts of a city."
[18:51:54] <Zegon> * As if on cue, a small swarm of tiny flying insects flies through Hank on its journey to do... whatever.
[18:52:17] <Kardos> I would disagree. We have yet to encounter a sewer. 
[18:52:35] <Zegon> * A sewer does not somehow magically appear.  Thankfully.
[18:52:54] <Lucy> I'd think a lack of a sewer would be a downside.
[18:53:01] <Lucy> Sewers are there for a reason, ya know
[18:53:05] * WorkDebugger (NinjaDebug@ip24-252-56-222.om.om.cox.net) has joined #Aeoth
[18:53:13] * WorkDebugger is now known as Clarissa
[18:53:15] * Lucy looks over at the others. "Next up is dragons and magic-talk, right? That sounds right up your alley, Clarissa."
[18:53:16] <Zegon> * So are the thousands and millions of people.
[18:53:17] * Hank swats at his face. "Pfelgh! Blagh! PFEH."
[18:53:40] <Clarissa> Absolutely.
[18:54:41] <Lucy> So, where do dragons hang out?
[18:54:59] <Kardos> Wherever they like. 
[18:55:08] <Clarissa> I hate that joke.
[18:55:09] <Lucy> What do they like?
[18:55:12] <Zegon> * In general, Kardos is right though.
[18:55:19] * Kardos blinks. "It is a joke?"
[18:55:23] <Zegon> [Are YOU going to tell a dragon to get out of the way?]
[18:55:37] <Clarissa> ( I'm an adventurer, of course I am. )
[18:55:49] <Zegon> (Well, yes.  Unless it's lots bigger than you.)
[18:55:52] <Kardos> Generally, however, green dragons tend to enjoy forest. 
[18:56:05] <Lucy> Maybe we could ask some elves if they've seen a dragon around.
[18:56:11] <Clarissa> Green dragons are particularly fond of forests.
[18:56:14] <Clarissa> And elves.
[18:58:18] <Hank> Worth a shot, maybe.
[18:58:36] <Clarissa> There's just one catch.
[18:58:53] <Lucy> Ah?
[19:00:01] <Clarissa> Green dragons are evil, exceedingly powerful, and not particularly sociable.
[19:00:51] <Hank> ... well. Not the best friend to make, is it?
[19:00:57] * Lucy frowns. "This is going to be pretty tricky, then."
[19:01:16] <Lucy> Are they the type to make deals, or just do whatever they like?
[19:01:30] <Clarissa> Note that when I said they're particularly fond of elves, I meant in a particularly... ravenous sense.
[19:01:45] <Clarissa> Luckily, we're not blessed with an elf.  Unless Hank is secretly half elven.
[19:02:04] <Zegon> [I dunno. He might have pointy ears.]
[19:02:12] * Hank snorts. "Not with this beard."
[19:02:27] <Clarissa> The point is conceded.
[19:02:30] <Zegon> [Oh, right, beard.  ACTION HANK is too RUGGED to be an elf.]
[19:02:59] <Clarissa> In any case, the hunters of this village are likely to know if there's a green dragon in the area.
[19:03:06] <Clarissa> Mainly so they can avoid its domain.
[19:03:12] <Clarissa> Hank, would you see to gathering information?
[19:03:22] * Lucy nods. "Arright." SHe looks around for anyone who looks particularly Hunter-y
[19:03:54] <Clarissa> That was very feminine-sounding of you, Hank.
[19:04:04] <Clarissa> Have you been injured?
[19:04:51] <Zegon> [There are the normal guards of the village, who tend to shy away from you.  Most of the villagers seem to do the same to avoid you.]
[19:05:02] * Lucy started talking before Clarissa said taht. :V
[19:05:32] <Zegon> [It's possible to discuss things with either that group that you noticed with Big Bird, or possibly with Spring Rabbit's family or Unicorn Flower.]
[19:05:33] * Hank rubs his head and eyes Lucy. "Had a frog in my throat. You want the information the nice way or the hard way?"
[19:06:41] <Zegon> [If they like, the adventurers might just push one of the locals as well.  You never know, right?]
[19:10:09] <Clarissa> The nice way.
[19:10:20] <Clarissa> Better to spend a little money than to spend a little good will.
[19:10:32] <Clarissa> Isn't that what your god says?
[19:12:01] * Hank grins. "You bet." He wanders off towards the village, looking for Spring Rabbit.
[19:12:30] * Lucy follows Hank around. :D
[19:15:57] <Zegon> [Hank heads off to the house of Spring Rabbit!  It's easy to find, given you came here on the way to Big Bird's tree-hut-thing.  Spring Rabbit is playing outside with her mother inside the hut.  You haven't seen her father yet, presumably he's busy doing some sort of work.  She waves to you as you approach with an eager grin.]
[19:17:33] * Lucy waves to Spring Rabbit. <Hello> :D
[19:18:15] <Zegon> <Spring Rabbit> <Hi!  Er, um...  Hello!>
[19:18:44] <Hank> Figured this is a good place to start. Lucy, ask the sprout if she's seen any dragons or tracks while out and about playing.
[19:18:47] <Zegon> <Spring Rabbit> <Did you have fun with Big Bird?  He's really weeeeeeeiiiiiiird.>
[19:19:03] <Lucy> <We just visited Big Bird. It was interesting.>
[19:19:05] * Lucy laughs a bit.
[19:19:22] <Lucy> <Question... while you were out, did you see any dragons or tracks?>
[19:20:01] <Zegon> <Spring Rabbit> <Oh no!  If I saw a dragon I don't know what I would have done.  I've never seen one.  Have you?  Do you slay dragons?>
[19:20:36] <Lucy> <I dunno. Never tried it before.>
[19:20:50] * Lucy turns to Hank. "She says she's never seen one before."
[19:21:12] <Zegon> * Spring Rabbit looks a little disappointed.  <Awww.>
[19:21:28] <Hank> Have her parents ever seen or heard of one?
[19:21:40] <Clarissa> ...I should certainly hope she's never seen one.
[19:21:41] <Lucy> <Have your parents ever seen or heard about where they might be?>
[19:25:12] <Zegon> <Spring Rabbit> <Uh...  Mom might?  Or maybe dad...  Mom says if I don't go to sleep at night a dragon'll come and eat me.>
[19:25:35] * Clarissa snorts.
[19:25:52] <Clarissa> <My mom used to say the same thing.>
[19:26:45] <Zegon> <Spring Rabbit> <Really?  Does your mom know a lot about dragons?>
[19:26:59] <Clarissa> <Nothing at all, probably.>
[19:27:27] <Lucy> <Where are your parents now?"
[19:28:20] <Hank> What's she saying?
[19:28:35] <Zegon> <Spring Rabbit> <Oh.  Mom's inside!  Dad's out hunting right now.>
[19:29:12] <Lucy> <Ah, thanks. Where is the hunt today?>
[19:29:29] <Zegon> <Spring Rabbit> <Huh?  I don't know.>
[19:30:02] * Lucy nods. <Do you mind if we step in to ask your mom a few questions about dragons?>
[19:30:26] * Lucy turns to Hank. "Her mom might know. Her dad's a hunter, too. And if she doesn't sleep at night, her mom says a dragon's going to eat her."
[19:31:18] <Zegon> * Spring Rabbit looks kinda surprised at the asking *her* for permission to talk to her mom.  "<Um...  No?>"
[19:31:22] <Hank> Huh. My mom just used to cuff me.
[19:32:36] * Kardos shrugs.
[19:33:10] <Lucy> <Thanks!> 
[19:33:18] * Lucy walks up to the door(?) and knocks(?)
[19:35:34] <Zegon> [There isn't so much a door as a simple doorway.  The hut has sleeping space for three, easily, all in one room.  She's currently preparing some kind of dish using fairly primitive tools and doesn't notice as you enter.]
[19:36:50] <Hank> Might as well ask her the same questions, Lucy. Or Clarissa.
[19:36:54] * Lucy announces her presence. <Ah... excuse me.>
[19:37:03] <Lucy> <Mind if we step in and chat for a bit?>
[19:38:23] <Zegon> <SR Mom> <Huh?  Who is it?  I'-> *she turns around* <Oh, it's you!  I heard about how you found my daughter.  I'm so very greatful.  Of course I can talk for a little.>
[19:38:36] * Lucy smiles.
[19:39:21] <Zegon> * Spring Rabbit's mother takes her tools and puts them aside.  There is room for you to walk in and sit or kneel down, but not much room to do much else.
[19:40:01] * Lucy steps in. <When we entered the forest, we found a message left for us by the fae...>
[19:41:09] * Hank follows in.
[19:41:25] <Zegon> * Spring Rabbit's mother looks expectantly at you.
[19:41:51] <Lucy> <We're trying to find them, and the note said that part of what we had to do to meet them was to have a nice chat with a green dragon.>
[19:42:00] * Clarissa stays outside the door, mostly out of sight.
[19:43:53] * Lucy doesn't sound happy about the dragon bit
[19:43:54] <Zegon> * Spring Rabbit's mother looks around carefully to see if her little girl is within hearing distance.  <I know nothing of green dragons other than they're vicious beasts and destroy everything in their path.  If you're smart, I don't think you should have anything to do with them either.>
[19:44:36] <Zegon> * Spring Rabbit's mother looks more than eager to continue making dinner.
[19:44:53] * Lucy nods.
[19:45:17] <Lucy> <Thanks for the advice. I don't really know anything about 'em myself.>
[19:45:41] <Zegon> <SR Mother> <Do you have anything else to ask?>
[19:45:54] <Clarissa> <What about Kobolds?>
[19:48:10] <Zegon> <SR Mother> <Who is that?  Please show yourself.>
[19:49:13] * Clarissa peeks in the door and waves a little.
[19:49:21] <Lucy> <Ah, hi Clarissa>
[19:49:24] <Clarissa> <SOrta crowded.  Don't wanna get stepped on.>
[19:50:04] * Hank looks around, and heads out of the hut.
[19:50:49] * Lucy waves warmly.
[19:51:22] <Zegon> * SR Mother looks a little relieved.  "<Oh, no need to worry about that dearrie.  I know little of... kobolds, you called it?  I heard one came through town a year ago or so, though, other than that I haven't seen nor heard of them.>"
[19:52:07] * Clarissa frowns. <We'll have to find something else, then. Lizardmen, maybe?>
[19:52:16] <Lucy> <I hadn't thought about kobolds... all we know is that it's supposed to be scaly and capable of talking about magic.>
[19:52:38] <Lucy> <I really hope it's something cute. Like those fairy dragons or something. Especially if it could talk, ya know?>
[19:54:42] <Zegon> <SR Mother> "<Um, hmmm...  I really don't know.  I did hear that there was some scaly person that came in with that other adventuring party a day or so before you arrived.  Maybe Unicorn Flower could help you on your search more?  She's usually the person that deals with outsiders.>"
[19:56:39] * Lucy blinks. <Ah, that'd be good, thanks. Where can we find her?>
[19:58:34] <Clarissa> Hank, we have to find out if they've left yet.
[19:58:36] <Clarissa> Let's go.
[19:58:50] * Clarissa waves to mom. <Have a nice day.>
[19:59:00] * Hank looks at Clarissa. "Who?"
[19:59:14] <Clarissa> There was a scaled person with that other group of adventurers.
[19:59:22] <Zegon> <SR Mother> <She's not with you?  Well, if she's not, she's likely patrolling nearby.  If you start looking for her or ask, you're bound to find her.>
[19:59:31] <Clarissa> We need to find them, or Unicorn Flower, who can help us find them.
[19:59:33] <Hank> Aha.
[19:59:46] * Hank nods. "Let's do that, then."
[20:00:16] * Lucy nods and smiles. <Thank you. We'll be going now. Have a nice day>
[20:01:01] <Zegon> * SR Mother goes back to doing her work.  "<I hope you succeed at your quest.>"
[20:01:25] <Lucy> <Thanks!
[20:01:29] * Lucy walks off and waves. :D
[20:04:17] * Kardos bows to the elves and walks out.
[20:10:01] <Zegon> [The group heads over to Big Bird's Giant Tree of Confusion.  Asking along the way doesn't get you much, other than they haven't seen the 'gold-scaled adventurer' since she has entered the house.  You do encounter that rather distraught swordsage drinking his brains out and trying to sell his horse, though.]
[20:11:24] * Hank stops next to the swordsage. "Havin' a good time?"
[20:12:32] <Zegon> <Swordsage> Yeah, great time! *hic*
[20:12:52] <Zegon> * The swordsage's words are slurring together at this point.
[20:13:16] <Hank> You sure look like it. How's the booze?
[20:16:06] <Zegon> * The swordsage waves his arms a 'bit and points back at the bottles and bottles.  "Good ut unee to drink aoto et a buzzzzzzzzzzzzzssszz."
[20:16:18] <Zegon> * At this point the swordsage has passed out.
[20:16:47] <Clarissa> ...foolish.
[20:17:00] * Hank grimaces. "Doesn't even have the decency to hold his liquor."
[20:17:29] <Lucy> Poor guy. Wonder what happened to him
[20:18:14] * Hank looks at Lucy like she's slipped her twig.
[20:18:25] * Kardos holds his nose as he looks around.
[20:18:31] <Zegon> [Obviously, he's not drunk.  Obviously.]
[20:18:34] <Hank> ... riiight. Let's go see if we can find any of his teammates.
[20:21:21] * Lucy nudges the guy's shoulder a bit.
[20:22:45] * Kardos frowns.
[20:22:49] * Kardos sniffs.
[20:23:04] <Kardos> I can faintly make out the scent of his companions. 
[20:23:48] * Hank sighs. "Well, we started with the most odious. Let's move on up."
[20:24:05] * Clarissa sighs. "Lead the way."
[20:24:11] * Lucy follows.
[20:24:45] <Kardos> I can also find Unicorn Flower, if you believe it will help. The unicorns we met earlier smelled very distinctive. 
[20:26:03] <Clarissa> ...please don't sniff the unicorns, Kardos.  They might take offense.
[20:27:18] * Kardos frowns. "I beg your pardon? I can hardly help but smell them. Their scent covers acres."
[20:27:28] <Clarissa> Right.
[20:27:36] <Clarissa> I'm just going to stand over here, then.
[20:27:48] <Hank> ... let's just find the teammates.
[20:28:26] <Clarissa> Yes, please.
[20:29:26] * Kardos nods. "The gold-skinned one is inside the tree of big bird."
[20:29:37] <Clarissa> Helpful!
[20:29:41] <Clarissa> Thank you, Kardos.
[20:29:47] <Hank> Excellent.
[20:29:56] * Kardos looks and heads further into the building.
[20:30:02] * Clarissa marches up to the big bird's hut and enters.
[20:30:53] * Hank follows.
[20:31:05] * Lucy steps in
[20:32:21] <Zegon> * Big Bird is sitting down and meditating when you enter, or at least seeming to be.  When you step in he opens his eyes.  The two armored ladies cannot be seen from here.
[20:32:39] <Zegon> <Big Bird> What do you have to ask Big Bird?
[20:33:15] <Clarissa> Absolutely nothing.  We're actually looking for the woman with the golden scales.
[20:33:23] <Clarissa> Well, I am.
[20:33:25] <Clarissa> They're with me.
[20:34:16] <Zegon> <Big Bird> Oh, her!  She is currently meditating.  Should not disturb her until she is done.  How long...  *shrugs* Nobody knows.
[20:34:42] <Clarissa> Great.
[20:34:44] <Clarissa> I'll wait.
[20:34:52] <Clarissa> You guys can go have fun, or something.
[20:35:28] <Hank> ... looking at trees?
[20:35:35] <Clarissa> You could try finding the ghost of a child.
[20:36:41] <Hank> Right. I'll just bop about with Lucy, asking if any of their kids have died recently. Sounds like a great idea.
[20:37:13] <Clarissa> Hey, you're the great thief, just steal the knowledge right out of their heads.
[20:37:16] * Clarissa rolls her eyes.
[20:37:30] <Zegon> <Big Bird> Child Ghost?  I haven't sensed any ghosts in the village for years.
[20:38:09] <Clarissa> Find Leo, he's one of Pelor's boys.  I bet he could find you some undead.
[20:38:50] <Hank> Where the deuce IS the holy boy? Haven't seen him recently.
[20:39:25] <Clarissa> Your guess is as good as mine.
[20:39:58] * Hank waves a hand. "Right, right. This couldn't be easy. I'll go see if we can drum up a shade or two."
[20:41:11] <Zegon> * A few moments later some rustling is heard from the off-room as the gold-scaled spellscale steps out with an amused look as she sees a bunch of adventurers clogging the room.
[20:41:49] * Clarissa points dramatically at the golden woman. "YOU!"
[20:42:05] <Zegon> * The woman looks surprised.  "Me?"
[20:42:22] <Clarissa> What is the nature of magic?
[20:42:45] * Hank rolls his eyes and leaves looking for Leo.
[20:42:47] <Zegon> * She looks just plain confused.  "Huh?  Are you trying to play some kind of joke?"
[20:43:18] <Clarissa> No, I'm just having a bad day.  I'm supposed to find a scaled one with whom to discuss the nature of magic.
[20:44:37] <Lucy> Fey thing.
[20:45:04] * Zegon sighs and closes her eyes for a moment, then looks at Clarissa. "I'd be happy to discuss it, just... not in these surroundings. If you'd care to walk with me, ah... what was your name?"
[20:45:14] <Zegon> (Err, she does that)
[20:45:43] <Zegon> * The spellscale starts making her way to the exit, being sure not to look at Big Bird.
[20:46:20] * Kardos nods, bows to Big Bird, and follows the spellscale out.
[20:46:42] <Zegon> * Big Bird has gone back to 'meditating with sound effects.'
[20:46:50] * Clarissa follows after. "Never more pleased to get out of there. I'm Clarissa Natalia Violet Alyssa Cherise Kaitlyn Huntington the Third. Pleased to meet you."
[20:47:05] * Lucy has followed. And waves. I'm Lucy."
[20:50:50] <Zegon> <Spellscale> And I'm Darsavfrahraek Vorelhaurach.  You can just call me Dara, most everyone does.
[20:51:18] <Clarissa> I don't see why, it's a wonderful name.
[20:52:12] <Zegon> <Dara> Yes, but it's difficult for most races to speak it.
[20:54:27] <Clarissa> It's only draconic.  It's not such a hard language.  Once you wrap your mind around how to prounounce it properly without a forked tongue.
[20:58:14] <Zegon> <Dara> Of course Clarissa.  But so many try and fail miserably.  I personally think it's strange how you pronounce things without having as agile a tongue.
[21:01:40] * Clarissa is now known as SleepDebugger
[21:01:52] <Zegon> [Session End!  To be continued in mini.]
[21:06:29] * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) Quit (Quit: )
[21:06:50] * Disconnected
