The sun is beginning to strain to break through the dense canopy of leaves and vines overhead, even in the relatively sparse dome of the clearing Xev was attempting to camp in.] [17:39:50] [Date unknown. 2 days Apparent Time (AT) out of Stormreach] [17:39:51] [After a brief return to deadly combat, Shezna was knocked unconcious. The sun is beginning to strain to break through the dense canopy of leaves and vines overhead, even in the relatively sparse dome of the clearing Xev was attempting to camp in.] [17:39:51] [Session Start] [17:40:40] * Aurora looks to Pardrengo. "Now that THAT'S over with... where do we go from here?" [17:40:45] * Mauz is doing his best to look like he's enjoying himself. He's failing. Terribly. "Okay, I would like to note that this is starting to get irritating. The sea suddenly seems a little more preferable." [17:41:05] * Temper busies himself with tieing up the unconcious Shezna for questioning later. [17:42:12] * Marianysa frowns. "Well, we still don't have any idea if she knows anything or not." [17:42:18] *Pardrengo looks through the dense canopy overhead and grunt. "Rrhn... s'probably going to get dark soon, but I'd rather we forge ahead to get some distance between us and those other two psychos." [17:42:57] "I can secure us sheltah whenevah an wherevah we be needin it." [17:43:19] We'll ask later. She doesn't give us anything, we'll figure out what to do later. Mebbe let her have the honor of ending herself if she's so determined to whisk away to the hereafter. [17:44:31] *Temper finishes Shezna's bindings and hoists her up onto his massive shoulder. [17:46:12] *Pardrengo grunts. "None of my business, but you can do worse than leaving that bitch in the middle o' d'jungle wit no supplies or weapons." [17:46:31] * Marianysa folds her arms, continuing to frown. "If she really wants to run off and die somewhere, I'm not gonna try too hard to stop her, but she's not dying while she's with us if I have anything to say about it." [17:46:36] We could, but we don't really work that way. [17:47:21] Pardrengo snorts. "Like I said, ain't none of my business. But my business is guidin', so let me get to it." [17:47:48] Go ahead, sir. [17:47:49] *Pardrengo unsheaths one of his machetes and begins hacking a path through the vines at the other side of the clearing. [17:48:17] * Mauz looks between Mari and Aurora for a moment. "Anything we can do to help, guide?" [17:49:07] Pardrengo growls. "Yeh. Quit draggin yer shit on my doorstep." [17:50:34] *Johen silently watches the proceedings, then when everyone is ready to move, he leans in to Mari and comments calmly. "You know, we may not have the resources to support another member of this expedition.... should the captive decide not to flee." [17:51:08] Fair enough. [17:51:21] * Mauz smirks a little. "Sorry, bad seems to follow me. I guess I'm cursed." [17:51:49] * Marianysa glares at Johen. "Sorry, I don't think I heard you quite right, are you trying to make a suggestion?" [17:52:44] *Johen makes a molifying gesture, putting his hands up. "I appologize, maybe my tone came out wrong. I am merely informing you of the circumstances." [17:54:30] Point, but we'll see what happens. Survival first. [17:55:21] [The expedition party continues into the hostile wilderness of Xen'drik.] [17:58:13] * Phanos fastens the skull-head totem to his cane, trudging on easily, the vines and underbrush seeming to be one with him, even the strange jungle plants and insects seeming to have respect for Phanos as he moves reverently along. [17:59:04] * Marianysa continues to trudge unhappily through the jungle, keeping a wary eye on Johen. [18:00:51] *Johen seems to be rather unsuspicious. [18:01:08] * Mauz goes back to looking irritated. [18:02:18] * Aurora steps along uneasily, just hoping this ends much more easily than it began. [18:04:18] [About an hour into the walk from Xev's camp, Shezna awakes on Temper's shoulder and begins screaming against her gag and thrashing. Temper's hold remains firm, though.] [18:05:20] Keep her comfy, Temper. We're not where we need to be yet. [18:05:37] *Shezna quiets after a few minutes and settles for glaring murderously at anyone behind Temper. [18:06:47] I am not cut out for this whole 'taking prisoners' thing. [18:07:31] * Phanos looks to Mari. "It has to be done, sometimes." [18:07:58] She may have something we'll need, so we'll make do. [18:08:45] Things were so much simpler when we were fighting assassins, demons, and slavers. [18:08:46] "I just wish that I had an understanding of why someone would want to become a vicious killer." [18:09:33] *Johen laughs. "Neither am I, Mari." [18:09:37] Sometimes, Phanos my buddy? [18:09:40] "Life is a confusing and chaotic path, but being steered into such a feral diection...it's distasteful." [18:09:44] * Mauz shrugs. "You don't have a choice." [18:10:16] * Marianysa eyes Johen. "I noticed." [18:15:59] * Phanos looks to Mauz. "We can understan' wat avin' dem cold art-. We can understan wat wantin- dem killin- urges, snuff-out life gotta purpose. Cold-edged." he blinks, his eyes black for a moment, then blinks again. "Sometimes, you gotta do bad tings." [18:19:20] * Aurora continues onward. "Not if I can help it." [18:19:39] Well, Aurora, you do your best to make sure fuckups like me don't get in too deep. [18:19:57] * Mauz smiles, broadly. "Bad stuff's in our blood, but we're not beyond redemption. Yet, anyway." [18:20:11] "Yammon, like we sed, its in bad taste." [18:20:21] * Marianysa sighs. "We can't stop everyone, Aura. Wish we could." [18:20:43] Nothing wrong with trying anyway. [18:24:16] Can't argue with that [18:26:07] [As the group wanders through the jungle, many fauna and flora that Phanos cannot even identify passes by. Some of it is quite beautiful. Including the bright red blooming flour that snatches out two coils toward Mari and Aurora as they wander just a bit closer than anyone else in the party.] [18:26:16] flower* [18:27:18] [Mari manages the recoil away from the barbed, thorny vine, but Aurora is caught too unawares. The barbed vine coils around her neck and begins constricting.] [18:27:22] [Combat Start] [18:28:01] Gah! [18:29:04] ... well, shit. Just got un-boring. [18:30:48] * Marianysa lunges at the flower that just attacked her and Aurora, hacking at the vine. [18:34:11] [Phanos's Turn] [18:38:08] [Aurora's Turn] [18:45:06] * Phanos curses out a sudden chant, a black aura gathering around him, one hand grips his cane, the other a raven's skull- "Habiyagaga!" The light in the area around him polarizes and slashes out at the plant-creature. [18:46:17] *The plant makes no scream or sound as it is hit, but Aurora cries out a little as it's blood-sucking thorns sink deeper into her. [18:48:35] * Aurora struggles, and unleashes a close explosion of divine fire, scorching the vine and granting enhanced clarity to Mari, Phanos, and Johen. [18:49:16] [Mauz's Turn] [18:51:45] * Mauz turns, snarls, and proceeds to try and blast the damned thing with a rush of eldritch force. "Do let the woman GO!" [18:53:29] Grabby bastard, I haven't even had a chance yet! [18:53:49] What, WHAT? [18:55:11] * Mauz smiles a devilish little smile. [18:56:56] *Temper dumps Shezna unceremoniously to the ground and rushes in to crush what he precieves to be the plant's weak-point, it's flower. However, this takes him too close and he is entangled in barbed vines that tear at his fibrous wooden muscles as he strikes. [18:57:47] *Johen flips open his tome to one of the first pages and conjures forth an illusory ambush of a giant locust, but the plant is completely unresponsive. [18:57:58] *Johen hmms. "Must not be a creature at all." [18:58:09] [Phanos's Turn] [19:01:21] [Phanos' Turn] [19:03:44] [Mari's Turn] [19:08:55] *Just before Mari is about to strike, she leads with her foot just a bit too much and yet another barbed tendril lashes out and wraps around her lower leg, it's serated thorns burying into her calf. [19:09:07] * Marianysa lets out something close to a snarl and rips into the flower with her sword, incinerating it. [19:09:37] * Mauz looks ready to unload again, but holds off. "Nicely done. I knew I kept you all around for a reason." [19:11:13] * Aurora tries to get away from the burning vines. [19:11:35] *Mari's blow severs the flower in twain an instant before the petals ignite in a small conflagration. Then her blade parts the plant's stalk all the way to it's root. The tendrils stop moving of their own accord and Aurora, Mari, and Temper are able to free themselves with a few moments of delicate attention to prevent any more deeply bleeding slashes. [19:12:22] Ugh. Stupid plant. [19:13:20] I really, really hate Xen'drik. [19:13:43] *Pardrengo laughs. "That's a new one." [19:15:29] * Mauz looks back at Pardrengo. "That you said as much both worries and comforts me. That happen a lot, seeing new things?" [19:17:02] *Pardrengo grins. "This jungle changes every day. Always something new to explore, discover, and nearly get killed by." [19:17:55] *Shezna indignantly begins grunting on the jungle floor, a little too close to the sickly sweet stench of rotten vegetation. [19:18:14] Mauz, you are not getting your hands on me. [19:19:16] * Mauz laughs heartily, motioning to Temper to pick Shezna up. "I see it this way, Aurora. I could either try and fail utterly to woo you--which is likely the only outcome--or not try at all. I'm a man who'd rather try and fail than not try at all." [19:19:28] But that's for safer times. Shall we get going? [19:20:05] *Temper nods and hoists Shezna back up onto his shoulder. [19:20:17] Whatever. Yeah, let's go. [19:22:24] [The expedition continues for another hour or so. Night has fallen but the Ring of Siberys hangs directly overhead. Normally this vast feature of the night sky manifest as a hazy golden band in the southern hemisphere. But directly on the equator of Eberron such as you are, it is a glowing band of pale light that fills the night sky and provides just enough light to see by.] [19:23:49] "Good weathah to travel by." [19:24:39] * Mauz looks up... and lets out a sad, wistful sigh. [19:24:48] *Pardrengo grunts. "Or make camp from. You said you can make shelter whereever? If you don't need a clearing that'd be safer." [19:26:36] S'wrong, Mauz? I know this place sucks, but... [19:27:24] Up there. Somewhere. It's where the voices come from. [19:28:37] "Give me one alf ouah." [19:28:43] Huh? [19:29:04] "Alf an ouah." [19:29:16] ...hold on, they WHAT? [19:30:32] * Mauz laughs. "Really, it's only really happened strongly recently, but... at night. I hear others. From... up high as well as deep below, if it makes sense?" [19:31:00] *Temper stands still with Shezna's ass pointing skyward, just above his shoulder. [19:31:36] * Phanos thinks about it as a lewd painting hanging in a bar somewhere. [19:31:38] I guess it's got to deal with the craziness I have going on inside me. [19:32:09] So if I'm blottered some nights to the point of senselessness, you know why. [19:32:32] *Pardrengo nods to Phanos. "Aight. I'll go see if I can catch us some six-legged hare." [19:33:06] *Pardrengo looks to everyone else. "You guys can stay put. I'll be close by. If you here a whistle, that's my signal for incoming hostiles." [19:33:14] hear* [19:33:18] * Phanos squats down on the ground, digging some ritual components from his pouch, as well as some small bone huts. [19:33:22] * Marianysa looks away. "...sorry." [19:33:27] Alright. [19:33:37] * Marianysa then frowns with a bit more determination. "They've got a lot to answer for." [19:34:18] We'll get 'em. [19:36:00] Nothing to be sorry about. [19:36:23] * Mauz grins. "I just live like every day's the last. You all should, it'll make things more interesting." [19:37:08] "Agreed, mon." [19:38:57] *Temper watches Pardrengo stalk off, and Phanos begin to cast his ritual. He turns to the others. "While we wait for camp, perhaps we should question the prisoner?" [19:39:51] Sounds good to me. [19:40:11] * Marianysa nods, glad for a distraction. "Good idea." [19:41:37] What do we want to know? Where they're going, why, if they know anything about Aun... [19:42:07] Would be a good time. We just need to know anything the bastard might've mentioned. [19:42:20] Knowing him, it wouldn't be a lot, but it would be a start at least. [19:42:59] *Temper nods and leans forward, dumping Shezna on her athletic behind. He then pulls the gag down to her neck. [19:44:34] *Shezna leers at all of you. "What now?" [19:45:44] Well, before that whole tussle from before... hungry? Thirsty? [19:47:02] *Shezna narrows her eyes at Mauz. "Yeah, I'm a bit parched from having that gag in my mouth." [19:48:32] * Mauz nods, then fishes around for his waterskin, pops open the top and offers to pour. "Open wide. Try to leave me some, eh?" [19:48:55] Sorry, it's your winning personality. We just can't it. [19:49:02] (handle it even) [19:49:54] *Shezna eyes Mauz for a moment, uncertain, then tilters her head back and opens. [19:50:52] * Mauz pours, slowly, watching. He will, of course, stop once Shezna appears to be suitably hydrated. "Look, I know you still wanna kill us, but right now the feeling's not mutual." [19:51:06] So yeah, drink up and then lesse if we can talk like gentlefolk. [19:52:09] * Phanos , within a half hour's time, has created a natural shelter, having gathered several trees and plants from the jungle together around in a naturalized, yoda-like hut of surprisingly comfortable accomodations. [19:54:31] *Temper picks Shezna up again, this time carrying her in his arms rather than over his shoulder. He follows the others into the shelter. [19:54:50] Nice work. [19:56:56] [The party enters the hut to find it nicely furnished, with several bunks, a dining table and chairs, and a writing desk.] [19:57:35] * Aurora blinks. "Definitely glad we had you show up just when we were about to leave." [19:57:57] * Phanos takes a seat at the writing desk calmly. [19:58:31] Wow, Phanos. I don't know how you did it, but... [19:58:34] ( Jus after, even ) [19:58:59] Anyway. So, Shezna. [19:59:36] ( Before we got here, then. >:( ) [20:00:13] * Mauz sits down close to her and leans back on his hands. "I know the pasty you were working for was probably pretty tight-lipped, and you strike me as the loyal, proud sort. So it's time to have chat. [20:00:25] *Temper sits Shezna down on one of the seats at the table. [20:00:58] *He quietly removes more rope from his pack and begins securing Shezna to the chair. [20:01:51] *Shezna scowls at Mauz. "Why were you even tracking us if you don't know what we're looking for?" [20:03:12] Because your friend has some unfortunate connections to us, and we'd a hunch we were looking for the same thing. [20:03:24] And hey, not trying to start a fight. Just wanna talk. Okay? [20:05:20] We'll do our best to keep you safe, alright? No matter what that other guy says. [20:08:33] *Shezna sneers and looks out one of the shuttered windows. "Tsht... fine, talk." [20:09:28] *Johen busies himself making a bunk comfortable, and lays down to read his tome. [20:10:44] Okay. How's Xev hire you on? Did he give you any details? [20:10:58] * Mauz settles in, idly scratching at his dome -- there's a bit of fuzz there. [20:12:25] *Shezna exhales. It's too ugly a noise to be a sigh, but then again she's a pretty brutish woman. "We met a long time ago." [20:12:56] G'won. Sounds like he did well by you for you to be so loyal. [20:13:48] "After I was discharged from the army, I was just doing odd jobs. Bouncing, bodyguard, whatever." [20:14:39] "I was lost. I didn't care bout nothing. Just the next sack of gold." [20:16:04] And then he came along? [20:16:38] * Phanos starts rolling his usual array of curious cigarettes, retiring into his room for a few and emerging in fine, exotic robes. [20:17:24] *Shezna looks back and glares at Mauz. "Yeah, what of it?" [20:17:54] *Shezna shouts. "You think this is about love or some childish shit like that?! You have no fucking clue!" [20:18:15] No, I think it's about respect. [20:18:27] * Mauz shrugs. "I don't know the first fucking thing about love, so." [20:18:58] But people have a way of giving others meaning and direction. I mean, shit. Some of these crazies behind me? [20:19:01] *Shezna remains rather beligerent. "Yeah well me neither so get your head out of the gutter." [20:19:20] * Mauz motions back. "Without them, I'd still be vivisected on a fucking table in the middle of a cult hellhole." [20:19:44] So I owe them my life. I know that kind of loyalty. Mebbe it's similar to yours, mebbe not. [20:19:59] "Ear dat, mon. We found im on accident too, ya." he snickers, passing a lit spliff to Mauz. [20:20:39] * Mauz takes, shrugs, and his finger momentarilly erupts in purple searing hatred, enough to light it. "Happy fucking accident if you ask me." [20:22:00] "We an I found dems folk on accident too." [20:22:44] "I wasn't found by fucking ACCIDENT!" [20:22:51] * Phanos looks up to Shezna. "You, you jus from a different path." [20:23:14] *Shezna shuts down a little. "I have a fucking purpose. I wasn't a fucking accident." [20:23:22] "Sides, I wasn't talkin' bout you." [20:23:37] * Aurora frowns. [20:23:52] "Sounds like you got a story on yah ches', girl." [20:25:17] Do you feel like talking about it? [20:26:27] * Mauz quiets down. He's starting to feel a little bitter about the 'accident' line. [20:27:16] *Shezna turns to Aurora. Maybe the young cleric's words, or just her gentle tone, cut right through the scarred womans defenses, and she begins to cry. Shezna sobs softly. "I thought I was more special than this." [20:27:43] * Marianysa looks away awkwardly. [20:28:40] * Aurora listens carefully and with interest. [20:28:51] *Shezna lets out an ugly, self-depricating laugh. "It looks like I only existed to let him escape. But... but that's still something, right?" [20:29:54] *Shezna looks up, her eyes filled with tears. "I mean he's so important! To everything! If... If my being left behind brings him closer to his destiny... then... then I'm important too, right?!" [20:30:15] "What makes 'im so important?" [20:30:27] *Shezna can't look up anymore, and hangs her head. She sobs quietly to herself for a while. [20:30:50] "Destiny." [20:30:59] Destiny? [20:31:05] ... destiny, eh? [20:31:20] * Aurora glances at the bag with the pearl briefly. Very briefly. [20:31:52] *Shezna looks back up, a little bit of her snarkiness returning. "Sure, destiny. What seperates the wheat from the chaff. So many fucking people and things walkings around Khorvaire, and you fucking KNOW only a handful of them are important." [20:32:11] "Kings, queens, high priests, Keepers, Speakers, whatever." [20:32:28] * Marianysa grimaces. "I'm really starting to dislike hearing that word." she says quietly. [20:32:59] But why is Xev important because of destiny? [20:33:00] "Xev has a destiny. That's why you can't stop him. Just like no one could stop Galifar from uniting the continent in his time." [20:33:20] A destiny to what? [20:33:21] "Just like no one could stop those royal brats from ruining everything a hundred years ago." [20:33:26] The big question is WHAT kind of destiny, yeah. [20:33:33] "We can't stop im cause e's real good at runnin' away." [20:34:30] "Say what you want. Xev doesn't care about all that knightly bullshit honor. He knows just like I do. Results are what matter." [20:34:47] "What's is goal then?" [20:34:57] * Mauz pauses, licking his lips. "Yeah, there's the thing. *What* kind of results? Destiny's nothing without a mission to achieve." [20:35:35] Phanos, quit it. [20:36:15] Unite the kingdoms? Defeat some terrible hidden foe? Unlock some terrible force and wield it like a sliver of the fucking gods to carve up creation? Either way, he sounds more ambitious than I could ever be. A little envious. [20:36:45] How do you know he has a destiny, anyway? [20:37:56] *Shezna smiles. "Ask him." [20:38:19] *Shezna turns to Johen, straining against her bonds a little. "Why'd you bow when he damnded it, huh?" [20:38:50] *Johen looks up from his tome and shrugs. "I fight better on the ground." [20:38:57] Well, that requires finding him, so we're at a loss there... hrm. [20:39:19] It's not that impressive to me, but then, I can do it too. [20:39:21] *Shezna laughs. "Bullshit! You felt it! You owed him obedience just cause he said his real name!" [20:39:44] But I won't deny that he's got power. [20:39:51] * Mauz smiles a little. "You won't tell us about his destiny, but... did he state that you had a destiny with him?" [20:40:01] *Shezna looks at Aurora. "Yeah, what, cause you pray to the gods? So the gods grant you that kind of power, right?" [20:40:18] *Shezna beams, swelling with pride. "Xev doesn't need a god. He gives himself that power." [20:40:29] One god, but yeah. [20:40:31] Was he offering you something more than just being another face beside some glorious hero? Or... [20:40:34] How come I didn't kneel, then? [20:40:48] * Mauz makes a face. "Personal might.... hm." [20:40:59] *Shezna looks to Mari and shrugs. "Not like everyone bowed down to Galifar just cause he asked nicely either." [20:41:31] ... now I'm curious. I don't feel like beating the shit out of him, so much as I wanna know just WHAT he's up to. [20:41:33] * Aurora frowns. "Anyway... how long've you been with him?" [20:41:52] Galifar didn't get knocked on his ass and run away after demanding people kneel, either. [20:42:51] We're getting off topic. [20:43:07] I don't care if Xev has a destiny or not, we need to stay focused. [20:43:20] We need to find him. I just have a new reason to. [20:43:26] *Shezna just shakes her head. "You just don't fucking get it. Results are what matters, and right now, the result is Xev free to pursue his goals while your wasting your fucking time here with me." [20:45:38] No, I don't think we're wasting time. You've got me curious. But I wanna ask this. Say he's off to fulfill his destiny. Did he say what direction or exactly what his next stop was? I imagine you want to see him again as much as we do, and to be blunt, I don't wanna start another throwdown. I want some answers. [20:45:45] "We're looking for a friend." [20:45:50] * Marianysa shrugs and walks outside. "Call me if you guys need me." [20:46:20] Because if we can sort shit out without slitting each other's throats, t'would be nice. [20:48:38] We came an extremely long way just to save our friend, so anything you could sa yto help us would be greatly appreciated. [20:48:48] You could probably understand that kind of loyalty, right? [20:49:10] *Shezna shakes her head disbelievingly. "I'll tell you just to get this overwith and cause he already told you guys. He's looking for some place called Caviar label Shaky Rots or something." [20:49:25] * Phanos (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) Quit (Quit: I am not ignorant, I am intelligent. I'm not an ape, I am the way, I am the truth. I am religion, I am politics, I am a psychoanalyst, I'm an inkblot shaped like Zeus) [20:50:17] That's all he told you? [20:51:10] *Shezna looks at Aurora. "That's all he told you." [20:53:34] Did he say anything about anyone named Aun? [20:53:52] * Mauz looks to Aurora, then focuses on Shezna, quiet. [20:55:14] *Shezna stares at Aurora for a second, trying to keep her face still. "Not that I know of." [20:56:30] Female changeling, used to date him... [20:56:38] Dresses up like a half-elf. [20:57:09] *Shezna shrugs. "Maybe." [20:57:59] Nothing about a craftsman or craftswoman? [20:58:08] Did he at least say why he was headed out here? [21:00:07] "Destiny." [21:00:51] ... heh, at this point, I think we just need to track him down again. And you get to come along for the ride. [21:03:01] I see... well... that's all I've got in mind for now. Listen. Even if you did tell us everything we want to know, we're not going to just leave you here. We'll take you back to Stormreach, at least. Maybe even back to Sharn. If Xev doesn't need you any more, you can strike it out on your own or whatever. Anyway... [21:03:03] * Aurora checks time [21:04:12] [Marianysa has the only Pocket Clock amogst the party, and she's outside.] [21:04:50] We'd lose time doing that but... shit. As much as I wouldn't mind having an extra travelmate, I don't know if we're on good enough terms for this not to turn into another fight or betrayal or something similarly bothersome. [21:04:57] * Aurora looks outside for if it's dinner eating time then. [21:06:00] [Outside, Mari stands close to the yoda hut, trying to cool off in the sweltering jungle night.] [21:06:06] Anyway, Pardrengo should be back soon, with that... what, six-legged rabbit? [21:06:14] How does that work, anyway... [21:06:22] Very springy, I imagine [21:06:35] [Softly, in the distance, she can here thunder rolling in.] [21:06:39] * Mauz smirks, then goes through his things and starts looking for -- naturally -- alcohol. [21:06:55] Anyway, you're welcome to some. [21:07:12] [Rumble........Rumble........Rumble........Rumble........] [21:08:35] [It dawns on Mari that thunder shouldn't have a steady rhythm....] [21:08:39] * Marianysa pokes her head back into the hut. "Uh, guys. I think we've got trouble coming." [21:09:12] [Pardrengo's shrill whistle pierces the night and a moment later he comes crashing through the brush looking TERRIFIED] [21:09:22] *Pardrengo "BACK IN THE HUT! GET IN THE HUT!" [21:10:02] That's... what, one leg for each of... wiat, no, ther'es one more of u-... it's really loud out there. [21:10:33] * Mauz was likely there, and in he stays. He looks for his booze faster. [21:10:44] *Pardrengo crashes into Mari and tackles her into the hut. [21:10:56] What's going on out there? [21:11:03] What the fuck!? [21:11:05] What's coming? [21:12:14] [Pardrengo scrambles to his feat and moves to close the front door. A second before it closes you all catch a glimpse of what Pardrengo is running from. A fourty-foot tall reptilian predator of titantic stature.] [21:12:21] [Session End.] [21:12:26] Odds are nothing good. Listen to your guide. I... whoa.
