Start of #Sharn buffer: Wed Dec 16 20:21:33 2009 [17:29:06] * Yon (dlarmour@wnpgmb1307w-ad02-37-87.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Sharn [17:29:13] * Yon is now known as Marianysa [17:33:39] [10 days AT out of Stormreach] [17:33:39] [It's been a week since the group managed to valiantly drive off the jungle nightmare of Lurking Two-Maws, and Pardrengo remains as boisterous and gung-ho about traveling through his dangerous homeland as ever.] [17:33:39] [No further sign of Xev or his psyhic lackey plagued their expedition, though Temper continues to carry Shezna with them. Pardrengo has made an extra effort to hunt for enough food to feed everyone.] [17:33:39] [The current day sees the party trudging through a torrential downpoor, mitigated less than you'd think by the choking vines of the jungle canopy. Their boots sink nearly up to their knees in the muck and mud underneath.] [17:33:39] [Session Start] [17:34:32] UGH! [17:35:19] Hey, maybe it'll get the dragon stomach smell out. [17:35:28] * Mauz the White is not nearly as white as he was when he started, splattered with mud, covered in rainwater (and the occasional leaf) and idly taking a moment to tug a leech from his thigh. "I... no." [17:35:43] *Pardrengo laughs. "Whasswrong, lil' girl? Get some mud in yer boot?!" [17:37:02] *Pardrengo laughs as everyone has a little diffculty keeping up with him. He only ever slows his pace through the thick muck, never stopping to actually wait for them. [17:37:41] [Until he does.] [17:37:56] Mud and leeches and worms and gators and I don't know WHAT ELSE. [17:38:09] * Marianysa rolls her eyes and whispers to Aurora. "You'd think getting eaten by a dragon would chill him out a bit." [17:38:16] I'm not dead? But this is pretty suboptimal in terms of travel. [17:38:18] *Pardrengo hacks through the next wall of vines and giant fern leaves, and stops, considering the slowly rising mud level, reaching up to his knees now. [17:38:27] "Drake." [17:38:37] *Pardrengo laughs. "Never seen no dragon." [17:38:41] * Mauz doesn't seem too irritated, though. Just... icky. [17:39:13] *Pardrengo turns to the group when they catch up to him. "I got some bad news and good news." [17:39:34] * He pauses. "And then some more bad news." [17:39:37] Actual good news for once? That's a new one. [17:39:59] Lay it on us, bad first. [17:40:00] But that, that totally figures. [17:40:29] *Pardrengo grins. "The bad news is that the water level is risin'. We might be in a valley between mountin's er on a flood plain." [17:40:52] Which means we need to get out or drown. [17:41:10] "The good news is, I can probably find us shelter." [17:41:13] Phanos, I don't suppose your fancy house can keep us... oh, good [17:41:42] "The more bad news is.... I can *probably* find us shelter. Ain't to certain o' anythin in these jungles." [17:42:35] "But I though I might'a spied some familiar rock formations an `our back er so." [17:42:50] * Mauz sighs, rubbing his head. Huh, stubble. "Better we get moving, then. Would it be too hard to reach that spot?" [17:42:50] "You guys might actually be in fer a treat." [17:43:13] "Hard? In Xen'drik? Naaaaah." [17:43:13] Well, let's get going. If this doesn't pan out, the faster we do it the longer we have to figure out an alternative plan. [17:43:49] *Par grins and nods, changing course and hacking through the muddy vines and leaves. [17:44:57] * Aurora heads onward, grumbling [17:45:38] * Marianysa hangs back a bit with Aurora, helping her out if she needs it. [17:46:38] * Mauz rubs his head a bit more. "Fuck, I need to shave..." [17:47:00] * Phanos (rustangel@ip-118-219.atvci.net) has joined #Sharn [17:51:00] Maybe that's why Pardrengo doesn't. [17:51:27] Doesn't what? [17:51:33] Oh, shave? [17:51:40] I have an image to maintain, Aurora. Mauz the White is shorn to the skin, a vision of fear and danger clad in purest white. [17:51:40] * Marianysa snickers. [17:51:50] * Mauz raises a finger. "I am building my legend, you see." [17:52:42] Plus, your enemies can see you coming from a mile away from the blinding light off your head. [17:54:04] "We can always builds us one, jes gots to repay us dem materials wen we gets back into town." [17:55:10] But you see, Mari! [17:55:55] * Mauz smiles. "When they see me, they shall run! With fear! I'll deal with them anyway, but the fear's a ncie part. After that, I collect, I get drunk, get laid, and the cycle continues until I'm dead or the voices drive me insane." [17:56:10] I'm banking on dead, but it's been a grand life so far. [17:58:44] * Marianysa winces slightly. [17:59:42] ... what? We all die. I won't kid myself into thinking I'm immortal. Hells, it makes life *better* to know you're on borrowed time. [18:00:13] * Mauz smirks. "Besides, I've many plans before I dick off this mortal coil, and for now they involve you crazies." [18:00:45] "Gladyawiddusmon." [18:01:39] * Phanos grins, and slaps Mauz on the back, trudging past Mauz with a flimsy umbrella that doesn't do much to deter the rain, still not seeming as wet as everyone else, his feet seeming to stick to the mud nearly as much, the leeches leaving him be. [18:02:55] There's dying, and then there's dying. I can't punch out the voices in your head, but...it's not right that you gotta live like that. [18:03:50] * Mauz laughs a little. "I am what I am, Mari, just like are who you are. I didn't choose to wake up on that slab, but... I'm glad I woke up, at least." [18:03:55] * Aurora frowns. [18:04:06] [An hour later, the rain has picked up, accompanied by sporaddic bursts of lightning that stretches overhead through the almost night-black clouds. The arcs of white fire spread like a spiderweb, or some skeletal claw reaching across the sky.] [18:04:07] [Thunder crashes, and along with the hammering of the rain on the leaves and vines around you, it's getting hard to hear one another.] [18:04:09] Well, you're welcome. [18:06:07] [Pardrengo leads on with a singleminded determination, detouring from his straight-line of machete-hacking only to get around a large impromptu river of rain water and mud, leading the group across by climing into the trees to get to the other side.] [18:07:59] [The sky beyond the ceiling of vines is almost dark, except when the lightning strikes and illuminates everything in clear, stark white. Then your destination becomes visible. A straight, unwavering shadow rises up from the direction in which Pardrengo leads you, and doesn't seem to stop at it pierces the cloud cover.] [18:08:08] * Phanos calmly hope from spot to spot in the trees, using his druidic Sojourn abilities to skitter back and forth to and from the Feywild. [18:08:40] * Phanos pats Pardrengo on the back. [18:08:54] *Par looks over. "Yah?!" [18:08:57] Well, I'm not going to be satisfied until every last freaky cultist responsible for putting you on that slab and...everything else...they've all got a lot to answer for. [18:09:40] * Marianysa looks up. "Wow, wouldja look at that..." [18:10:06] * Phanos gives him a friendly nod. [18:10:13] "Good job." [18:10:54] Huh. [18:11:14] Thanks, I figure. Hell, I might learn more about 'why'. I mean, what's so special about me? Don't answer that. [18:11:29] *Par grins, and yells his answer back over the thunder and rain. "Not there yet!?" [18:13:26] * Phanos shifts into wolf form, looking over his shoulder and padding forward. [18:14:14] [Even though the destination can now be seen, it seems to take forever to reach it. Until the shadow grows larger and larger in the sporadic flashes of the illuminated sky. Eventually, you see that it is not completely dark, but is dimly reflective of the sky as well.] [18:15:03] [The party continues, and even when the dark-tinted reflection of blue-black lightning becomes the only part of the sky you can see, you still don't reach it.] [18:15:21] "Big ruin." [18:15:38] *Par nods. "Big ruin for big dead people." [18:15:55] A giant mausoleum? [18:16:23] Seriously big. Dragon Below. [18:16:23] "Shame we and I don't messaroun' wifdem deadahs no mo den." [18:16:28] "Well, they weren't dead when they used it." [18:19:35] [Yet more trudging, and suddenly the sky almost completely darkens as the rain stops. You can hear the thunder and the rain, but you can't see the lightning, and the rain doesn't reach you.] [18:19:53] *Par sighs. "We're here." [18:20:17] This place is safe? [18:20:35] * Mauz casts about, rubbing his dome slowly. "It just might be." [18:20:56] *Par laughs. "No, we gotta knock first." [18:21:32] [Par walks further into the realtively dryer patch of jungle, the muck and mudd sucking hungrilly at his ankles.] [18:22:09] There someone still here? [18:22:52] [He then drops to his knees in the mud. He begins scooping handfuls of it away from the ground.] "Never know! Sides, we can't rest in this crap, we'd catch the death of cold." [18:23:47] [After a moment Par grunts an affirmation and gets up.] "Aright, everyone get next to me." [18:23:59] * Marianysa does so. "So what's the situation? [18:24:36] * Mauz does so, warily. "Anything we should know?" [18:24:36] *Temper moves next to Par and Mari, still holding a rather indignantly growling Shezna. [18:25:02] * Phanos walks up next to the group, shifting back into human? form. [18:25:05] * Aurora gets next to him [18:26:02] *Grinning, Pardrengo says something in the language of the cloud-piercing tower's makers. [18:27:29] [The ground beneath everyone LURCHES upward, making even Pardrengo who expected it stumble. A disc of force at least twenty feet in diameter rises above the muck in an instant, then slows as it continues upward.] [18:28:11] "We can do dis juju." [18:29:11] [Indeed, the lift is rather familiar to anyone who's ever spent time in Sharn, let alone long time residents.] [18:30:07] ... huh. Unexpected. [18:30:08] * Aurora sighs in relief [18:31:16] [The lift rises above the dense canopy of leaves, and for about a hundred feet more, rises in mid-air. Directly overhead is the bottom of the huge tower that pierced the skies. It is not supported by anything, just like one of Sharn's floating towers, only drastically larger.] [18:32:57] Huh, didn't expect to find anything like this here. [18:33:48] "Wish we could still fly, mon." [18:33:56] * Phanos seems to have a saddened look in his eyes. [18:34:30] [From the hundred-foot vantage point, just before entering the lift-shaped hole in the bottom of the tower, the group can see that both of Pardrengo's observations were correct. They were traveling between two large mountain ranges, siphoning rainwater into a wide river that began flooding.] [18:36:59] [And then they are inside. The inner shaft of the lift is miraculously still illuminated by ever-glowing panels, their magic just as strong as the lift's even after all these millenia.] [18:37:53] You know... this place is a lot better than outside [18:38:20] [The lift gradually gains speed once inside, and the lights flash by faster and faster. Oddly enough, no one's ear's pop. The Giants have obviously mastered the same kind of magic that keeps Sharn's air pressure comfortable at all altitudes.] [18:38:57] * Marianysa rubs her hands together. "Oh, this is the best place to spend the night." She grins. "Can't wait to look around." [18:38:57] * Phanos whistles an idle tune. [18:39:04] [An immense set of double metal doors approaches from above...] [18:39:24] *Pardrengo looks to her. "Night? It's barely past noon." [18:39:50] So, what do you think of this place, Mauz? [18:40:00] It's not mud. [18:40:01] [FWOOSH! And the doors fly by, receeding in the distance below them.] [18:40:11] * Mauz nods approvingly. [18:40:18] * Marianysa shrugs. "Hard to tell around here. But even better, more time to look around!" [18:40:46] "Hard to tink dis place older den Sharn, ya?" [18:41:22] *Par nods. "Don't expect much, this place has seen it's fair share of tomb raiders and adventurin' types. Cleared out most ah th' good shit whiles `go." [18:41:46] [Another door approaches from above.... FWOOSH! and rapidly falls below.] [18:43:13] Color me unsurprised. [18:43:13] "If dere wadn't nuttin ere werf findin, den we wouldnna adda get ear so fast." [18:44:47] "Mebbe we fin' anuddah Mauz." [18:44:49] * Marianysa shrugs. "So they can take what's worth money. They can't really loot architecture." [18:45:38] *Par looks over to Phanos as another door wizzes by. "What? The fact that we got `ere so easily should make it mor' likeleh that der be nothin' left!" [18:45:53] Another me? Gods, no. One's bad enough. [18:46:20] *Temper nods. "I agree." [18:46:21] "We're just lookin' for our friend." [18:46:56] *Temper's eyes glow a dull orange and the lower jaw of his faceplate hangs open. [18:47:29] * Marianysa turns to look at Temper. "Uh...something wrong?" [18:47:53] *Temper's eyes dim to normal and his jaw returns. "I was making a jest." [18:48:08] * Mauz pauses... then laughs. He laughs *LOUDLY*. [18:48:20] Oh... oh wow. OH WOW! [18:48:30] * Aurora smiles. [18:48:45] "We don't gets it." [18:49:08] *Temper's jaw hangs open again. [18:49:33] * Mauz is too busy trying to stop laughing to reply. [18:49:47] * Marianysa stares momentarily, then bursts out laughing. [18:49:55] * Phanos boggles, trying to understand. [18:50:15] *Johen laughs along as well. [18:51:05] [More doors whizz by as the group continues to chat and relieve tension amongst themselves.] [18:51:32] And he says he doesn't have a soul. [18:52:55] [More doors that the party bothers to count fly by as the minutes pass.] [18:54:18] [FINALLY, the lights flashing by begin to slow, and then the lift slows to a halt in front of huge stone doors with an eroded bass relief of various scenes of the heights of giant civilization.] [18:55:23] [You can barely make out the tower itself, rising in the center, split in half by the double doors. The only other scene easily recognizable seems to be a huge mountain, or possibly worn structure, that's on fire.] [18:55:55] * Mauz has recovered somewhat, but he's now focused on looking around in mild, albeit visible, awe. "Nnnnice." [18:56:07] * Marianysa 's eyes shine. "This. Is. So. COOL." [18:56:33] * Aurora takes in the sights... [18:56:45] *Pardrengo laughs. "Oh dear... this is just the door." [18:57:26] [Par moves forward and puts his shoulder to one side and begins pushing, his feet sliding against the lift's floor.] "Hey mr. comedy gold, over here." [18:58:09] *Temper moves to help him, and slowly the door opens a crack. Sunlight beams into the lift shaft like a dagger. [18:59:07] [The huge door, almost six times as tall as the towering Temper, slowly opens, the hinges also miraculously still working. [19:01:25] [Beyond is a surreal vista of dining tables with metallic meshes draped over them, the organic parts of the table clothes long ago rotted away. Chairs far too large for even any of the giants back in the outskirts of Stormreach to sit in are arranged on top of the tables.] [19:01:51] Be it ever so ancient, there's no place like home. [19:03:55] [It seems this floor of the tower was a dinning hall for exclusive guests. The huge pannoramic windows dominate the walls, as if there was nothing but glass ringing this level of the tower.] [19:04:36] [Pardrengo moves forward, trecking like a children's toy through a child's parent's house.] [19:05:57] * Aurora moves onward, looking around. [19:06:00] * Mauz tags along, rubbernecking like a fool at this point. "Gods, do I feel insignifigant right about now." [19:06:08] * Marianysa grins. "Looters can ruin a lot, but you can't steal _history_." [19:06:53] "Let's be careful." [19:06:53] *Pardrengo moves next to a table by the windows and begins twirling a grappling hook, and then HURLING it upward, catching onto the metal mesh halfway up. It's a freaking impressive throw. "Or the *VIEW*" [19:08:46] *Pardengo begins climbing up his rope. He makes quick progress, using the shifting and winging metalic mesh as a foothold as he climbs. [19:10:04] *He reaches his hook, then takes out a second grappling hook and length of rope, and tosses that the rest of the way up. He yells down to the others. "Coming?!" [19:12:13] * Mauz is already on his way up... but looks to be having a little trouble. Physical strength is not his forte. [19:12:44] [Pardrengo climbs up to the surface of the table.] [19:13:25] [How high up is it?] [19:13:37] * Marianysa scrambles up after Pard. [19:13:51] * Aurora follows likewise. [19:14:12] [How high is a normal table? Then multiply it by the proportion of a mouse to a man.] [19:14:13] I can't wait to tell mom about this. [19:15:20] * Mauz is, well, last. He gives it another go, snarling. Finally, he manages to scramble up, but looks to be irritated at himself. [19:15:30] ... okay, yes. I'm a weakling, apparently. [19:17:06] *Par is already looking out the window by the time the rest of the party arrives. As they walk forward, the crystal-clear glass offers a vast view of the surrounding.... everything. Far, Far below them is what looks like an ocean of dark, fluffy cotton, that sparks and flashes with lightning. Further out, the cotton sea dissipates and a field of hazy green stretches out. [19:18:21] [The green undulates with the lay of the land, crawling on top of mountains and down canyon sides. Ribbons of blue-white cut through the green, vast, huge river rapids rampaging through the jungle.] [19:19:09] ... okay, yeah, it's a nice view. [19:19:30] I take back most of the nasty things I said about Xen'drik. [19:19:30] "This place is vast and unexplored. Beautiful and rugged. It is like the world, but smaller, and placed within itself." [19:20:00] * Phanos looks to Par. "Dis wer we give you your tip, mon?" [19:21:04] *Par laughs. "Hah! If'n you like. I only take customers I like `ere. Anyone else an I woulda made `em rough it like real men in the mud below the tower." [19:21:30] Well, thanks for the vote of confidence, Pard. [19:22:13] *Par places a large clawed hand on Mari's shoulder amicably. "But since this `ere lass likes my winnin smile so much she jumps down legendary beasts to it, I figured ya might as well see the good stuff!" [19:22:38] (to see it*) [19:23:42] * Phanos shrugs, grabbing the small human skull from the end of his cane, tossing it to Pardrengo. "Should fetch ya some jink at dem market, mon." [19:23:52] * Marianysa grins a bit sheepishly. "Hell, I'd jump in a REAL dragon's mouth to see something like this." [19:24:28] I'd love to come here again if hte trip weren't so dangerous and full of things trying to kill us [19:24:34] *Par catches the skull deftly and nods appreciatively as he stashes it in his pack. "Well, this just be the... hrm.. lesse... south west." [19:25:19] *Par walks back over to the side of the table and hops down it. "Lets hit the kitchen. See if there's somthin work takin." [19:26:17] Yessir. [19:26:29] * Mauz pauses. "Why am I imagining massive hunks of trail ration now." [19:27:06] You think it can keep that long? [19:28:23] *Par leads the expedition to the central room of the tower, where the giant chefs used to cook exclusive meals. "I got lucky the last time I was here. Found some preserved spices that turned out to be worth summin to some mages." [19:29:22] Some rations can last a hell of a long time in iffy conditions, but I dunno. [19:30:26] You find this place all on your own? [19:31:33] *Par nods. "Yeah, but I had to pay fer the keywords that opperate th' lift. Different word for diffrn't floor. Don't think all o' them been discovered yet, even." [19:36:40] [The group enters the kitchen, with huge corroded metal cabinents and tabletops. Discolored hooks hang over various ancient aparatuses that you imagine somehow translate into cooking.] [19:37:51] [Pardrengo finds a unopened cabinet and asks Temper to help open it. After a few unsuccessful tries, Temper begins beating his way in through the corroded metal, rending a whole in it and then bending the sheets back to avoid jagged edges for those of softer composition than him.] [19:37:56] [Then he picks Shezna back up.] [19:38:26] See Shezna? Aren't you glad you got to see this? [19:39:03] *Shezna. "Fuff Uuuf." [19:39:20] [She glares over her gag.] [19:40:21] * Mauz snickers a little, patting Shezna on the shoulder. "Ah, don't be so irritable." [19:40:58] *Shezna glares at Mauz's hand. "Oof iif ooof af hanf." [19:41:48] *Pardrengo invites the others into the cabinet after he cracks a sunrod. [19:41:57] * Mauz rolls his eyes. "You wouldn't be the first to say that." He goes to join the party! [19:42:22] * Aurora heads on up [19:42:55] [There are huge glass containers, about the size of two drum barrels stacked on top of each other. They are mostly empty, but a few of them have some "residue" on the bottom that could likely fill a few regular sized vials.] [19:43:37] * Aurora blinks. Then sniffs, curiously [19:43:41] [Pardrengo and Temper go about tipping a few over and testing their contents.] [19:44:20] *Pardrengo snuffs after putting a little on his tongue and sneezes loudly. "aaaaAAAARAAAAGHF!" [19:44:52] *Pardrengo sniffs and chokes. "Th-.. that's some potent stuff." [19:45:36] You okay? [19:45:59] [Pardrengo nods, wiping his runny nose on the back of his hand. [19:46:15] "Prolly some firepeppers." [19:46:31] That wasn't the smartest thing, but... yeah. Hurm, some of that could be worth saving. [19:47:25] *Par nods and gathers up as much of it as he can before handing it over. "`ere you go." [19:47:46] * Phanos poofs up there. [19:47:52] * Mauz grins, taking it and tucking it somewhere safe in his sack. "If it won't sell, it'll make dinners nice for once." [19:47:56] [Party Recieves 1,000 gp in alchemical reagents] [19:48:07] "I can ave dem?" [19:48:18] *Johen caughs. "You don't eat firepeppers." [19:48:25] "They're alchemical reagents." [19:48:31] "Hold dem in me pack." [19:48:53] "Useful for all kinds of arcane rituals and magic item crafting." [19:49:14] *Johen looks to Mari and Phanos. "Perhaps you should split them." [19:49:44] *Par looks over at Temper. "C'mon, put the bitch down and help me look for more stuff." [19:50:00] "I keep a supply of ritual components for everyone to use. I was just offerin' to store dem." [19:50:00] *Temper nods and sets Shezna down by the overturned glass container. [19:50:15] * Mauz waves at Shezna, keeping watch on her. [19:50:32] *Shezna glowers at Mauz. [19:51:14] Yeah, I don't mind, Phanos' got plenty of ways to store stuff, I'd rather not carry around too much stuff at once. [19:51:21] * Mauz just smiles. "Seriously, no hard feelings. Hell, once we're done here I'll see if I can get them to let you off to do what-the-fuck-ever. Live and let live and all that." [19:51:49] You're not going to try to get in her pants, are you? [19:51:53] You do that an awful lot. [19:52:19] Ugh, oh, eww, I hope not. [19:53:01] [A little while of rummaging through the spice cabinet later, Pardrengo and Temper return with a few more vials. One contains a dried leaf that, when mixed with oil, can be used as sanctified inscence. And the other is a particularly rare herb that grows only on the plane of Irian, the Eternal Day.] [19:53:01] [Party Recieves 500 gp in sanctified inscence.] [19:53:01] [Party Recieves 500 gp in mystic herbs.] [19:53:16] Do you have to insist on creating mental images I can never unsee? [19:53:33] Hey, it's not my fault! [19:53:41] "Mystic herb, mon, my favorite!" [19:54:02] *Pardrengo laughs. "Not that kind of herb, friend!" [19:54:06] * Marianysa goes to help search the cabinets. [19:54:12] * Aurora searches around [19:54:17] "Unless ya wanted to create another one o' those shelters in ya lungs." [19:54:28] "I know what kind of herb it is, mon, I'm a ritualist." [19:54:32] ... no. No, I don't wanna try. [19:55:09] * Mauz eyes Shezna. "She'd prolly kill me. Even if she WAS actually into it. I've much more interesting ways I wanna end my life with." [19:55:12] *Par grins. "With the way yeh be suckin on that pipe, I thought thah'd be yer fav'rit kind o' herb." [19:55:45] "That'd be bud, bruddah." [19:55:57] *Shezna finally stops glaring at Mauz, forced to roll her eyes SO DAMN HARD at him instead. [19:59:46] [Par, Temper, Aurora, and Mari find nothing else of note. There was one nearly full containter, but it was just filled with common sea salt.] [20:00:13] * Phanos takes a large vial of salt anyway. [20:00:21] * Phanos nods with a self assured grin. [20:01:15] *Par nods. "Aright, lets see the oth'r side o' the world." [20:01:48] * Mauz catches the eye-roll and laughs s'more, scratching his dome. "Well, at least we agree on something." [20:01:56] [Par leads everyone out of the cabinet and through to the other side of the kitchen, coming out again in the large circular dining room surrounding the central kitch and lift shaft.] [20:05:28] [Another round of climbing (And Pardrengo mocking Mauz's noodly arms as he struggles to the top of the table), the part is faced with another panoramic view of Xen'drik. The dark cotton tuffs glittering with threads of lightning remain below, but beyond them the haze of green only stretches halfway to the horizon.] [20:05:53] * Mauz grumbles at the mocking. "I know, I know! Gods!" He's got stamina, at least. [20:06:22] [Beyond that, a murky, watery haze of brown and yellow stretches off, dotted with craggy mountains, plateus and steppes.] [20:06:27] * Phanos takes it easy, teleporting between easier footholds, nooks and crannies, spending most of the time smoking and enjoying the view. [20:06:59] *Pardrengo hrms, concerned. [20:07:11] "That aint supposed to be there." [20:07:16] What is it? [20:08:01] *Pardrengo points, but not to the change in landscape. He points out a vaguely yellowing organic looking dome in the band of green haze. "That'd be a hive city." [20:08:35] A what? [20:09:25] A...hive city? [20:09:25] "S'a hive o' man-hornets. They're a right nasty bunch o' sav'ges." [20:09:42] That sounds nasty. [20:11:11] "Ayup. Hopfully the land'll shift befer we get there. Rather not have to try and deal wit em. Always thinkin yer trying to steal their host-damned royal jelley." [20:11:54] I assume they're the kill-first sort. [20:13:03] "Ayip." [20:13:45] "Let's keep movin' den." [20:14:04] "Well, mai' as well get comfy. We sh'be waitin out the storm above all `em clouds." [20:16:10] * Phanos nods, and then sits perfectly still, moving only to toke his fine briar pipe. He looks to Mauz, enjoying the view. "Sometimes, it is worth walking through the rain to see the view." [20:16:27] * Mauz moves along, whistling. "Yeah. It is." [20:17:07] Yeah.... [20:17:19] *Par laughs. "A real man likes to feel the weather on his shoulders!" [20:17:21] Not a bad place to rest. [20:17:51] *Temper nods. "Yes... but a wize man brings an umbrella." [20:17:59] *Temper's mouth gapes open. [20:18:13] * Phanos chuckles. [20:18:28] * Aurora smiles. [20:19:06] * Mauz chortles. "Yeah, I think I like you like this, Temp."
