Start of #Odal buffer: Mon Aug 11 21:54:25 2008 [16:36:56] * Last we left off, the group had just killed most of a group of goblins who had fortified a junction in the overflow sewers. Two of them managed to escape through a door, but the rest fell quickly and easily before you [16:37:02] [Session start] [16:41:05] * Eve frowns. "We should follow. They have to be doing something." [16:41:15] That went rather better than last time. [16:41:21] Oh yes. [16:41:41] How did they get in here, though? [16:42:08] Oh well. Let's go find out. [16:43:11] * Eilenia stands near the door. "After you." [16:43:23] * Eve nods. She heads up to the door, tests the knob, and finds it jammed. Frowning, she puts her shoulder against it, shoves, and then finally rears back, kicking the door open [16:44:02] Well, it's a pretty easy place to move about undetected. They could be coming in from any number of entrances. [16:44:25] * Paera follows Eve, pondering. [16:45:01] * Eilenia follows along. [16:45:28] * The room is what looks like an old office. A desk lies against the far wall, and a moldering old chair sits against the wall next to it. The floor is scattered with old books, their pages torn out, and high piles of rags. [16:45:46] * Xan searches the room. [16:47:40] * Eilenia looks over the books curiously. [16:48:12] * Paera thumbs through a book, frowning. "Well, they're not much good now." [16:50:31] * The books are all logbooks from the Harborhead overflow sewer's warden. Most of the pages have been torn out, but one of the surviving books dates a century back. [16:51:32] Well, hmm. That's interesting. This could be irrelevant, or it could be really bad news. [16:51:48] * Paera looks through the surviving log book. [16:53:30] This one is rather old. From... Nerath, was it? [16:53:31] * Xan overturns one of the piles of rags and finds one of the goblins who fled underneath. He begins pushing himself away with his hands. "Not killing! Not to kill!" [16:54:48] * Xan reaches down, grabbing the goblin by the scruff of his collar, if not, by his arm. "Tell us why you are down here." [16:55:07] * The first few pages of the logbook are mostly day to day operations, with references to losing contact with Horbek's Glory early on in the log. However, as it continues, it begins to mention the seige of Harborhead. [16:55:07] * Paera lowers the book and eyes the goblin. "Well now." [16:56:16] * "Living here! Goblins living in sewers since... too long ago! Fix Harborhead sewers, live Harborhead sewers!" [16:57:07] "Fix them?" [16:57:23] If you're just living here, then how do you explain the guards who go missing down here? [17:00:06] * "Boss says what to do, and we do. But new bosses come, not long 'go." The goblin bares his teeth. "Upside bosses, not sewer boss. They tell us what to be doing, they say catch people who come, give people who come, trade for live in sewers." He pauses. "Trade for live at all." [17:00:35] Where is this boss? [17:01:40] * "They don't let us know. Live in sewer since upside bosses come, kick us out of room." [17:02:23] "Where are the old guards?" [17:02:30] What about what they look like? Are they perhaps large and one-eyed? [17:02:53] * Paera scowls. "Tell us more about these bosses. It sounds like we might both have something to gain from this." [17:03:38] * "We catch a guard, give 'im to bosses. Upside bosses talk weird, walk weird. Like bosses got an itch." [17:06:17] * Paera glances at Xan. "That sound like our guys to you?" [17:07:16] * Xan nods. "Take us to your bosses and we'll let you live." [17:08:17] * The goblin screams. "Don't know! They go in here, they come out from here! You not kill enough today?" [17:09:07] "I lost count, but that is irrelevant, as is your life." [17:09:09] How often do they come? [17:09:50] * Paera looks down. "I...I'm sorry for killing your comrades. You just want to live in peace down here, but these...bosses...are playing both sides." [17:11:33] * "They come every three days. They go after a day. They come this morning, not go yet. Carry some girl, not know who she is!" [17:12:03] What did she look like? [17:12:23] * Eilenia idly wanders into the previous room, before he even answers. [17:14:11] They go in here, and come out from here...aha! The log mentioned one of the walls being breached and not patched very well. [17:14:16] There's another passage here. [17:14:23] "You mean they're still here?" [17:15:55] * The goblin shakes. "Bosses not come out yet." [17:16:32] * Xan sets the goblin down. [17:16:42] "Off with you. Don't drink the water." [17:16:57] * Eilenia walks back into the room. "They're okay. Most of them. Totally okay." [17:17:01] Give me a hand here, Xan. We'll find this passage. [17:17:03] Isn't that great? [17:17:26] * Xan looks to Eilenia and shrugs indifferently. He nods to Paera. [17:19:50] * The goblin looks up at Paera. "You want make this good, you make it so bosses not come back up, let us live? Workers owe you, workers do what we can." [17:20:31] * Paera nods. "I figure this world's big enough for all of us." [17:21:41] * A quick search of the room shows that a small patch of the wall has mortar slightly discolored from the rest, and, beyond that, there's a crack in the mortar along the edges. [17:24:17] * Eilenia gives the panel a solid push. [17:25:57] * The panel slides back out of the wall and then topples forwards. It leads into a steep downward tunnel, descending down into the earth [17:26:49] * Eilenia heads down. After Eve, anyway. [17:27:43] Well. This could get ugly. Is everyone ready for this? [17:28:30] Oh, yes. [17:28:36] * Xan nods calmly. [17:28:57] * Eve nods. "We are having to make this right." [17:31:15] If they've got a hostage, we might not have much time. So let's do this. [17:32:51] * The tunnel goes ahead and down roughly sixty feet at a fourty-five degree angle, handgrips carved into the rough-hewn walls all that keeps you from sliding down. Finally, at the bottom is a small chamber with a ladder leading down [17:32:52] A hostage, or a recruit? [17:33:00] Perhaps both. [17:33:07] Or maybe dinner. [17:35:56] * Eilenia waits next to the ladder. [17:38:39] * Eve heads down the ladder and leads the way through a long maze of tunnels, ever heading down. Finally, it opens into a cave with a sandy floor. A pair of large, brass doors decorated in strange glyphic motifs and barazhad script stands in the middle of the cavern [17:39:21] Let's do this. [17:41:15] * Xan nods, and heads downstairs [17:41:42] * Eilenia heads down the ladder after Even, and looks at the doors curiously. [17:45:04] Oh my. Something about the Ruler of Ruin. [17:45:35] These doors must be from the siege of Harborhead. Or were created to look as if that were the case. [17:46:47] * Eve frowns. "One cult for another. Let's be cutting this cancer out of this town." [17:47:43] Yeah. But...it's a cancer that grows a lot deeper than it looked, apparently. [17:49:11] "Perhaps our foes will all line themselves up for us like tipping stones." [17:49:29] Let's see what's on the other side. [17:51:10] And maybe the dwarves will be waiting for us topside after we kill the cult and give us food. [17:51:50] What do dwarves eat? [17:53:02] * Eilenia pushes open the door since no one else will. [17:53:04] * Eve places one hand on each of the huge doors and shoves, the doors sliding open. The cavern has rows of low benches where men and women in fine robes are kneeling, while a man in a pure white robe holds a jar of water in hand as he stands in front of an altar where a doppelganger woman lies unconscious. In the corner is an oddly fleshy idol, a tumorous mass of tendrils and flesh [17:53:14] * Eilenia doesn't do that after all. [18:04:55] * The cult leader advanced past the altar. "Intruders! Remove them from the shrine of the queen!" He focuses on Eve, who shudders briefly, but shoes no ill effects [18:05:16] * Charles changes topic to '[Cult Leader] 24 [Xan/Eve] 21' [18:05:22] * sarah (macbelles@pool-72-71-249-192.cncdnh.fios.verizon.net) has joined #Odal [18:12:24] * Xan steps forward, forming a silver helix between his palms, which splits off and zings against the walls from the poorly formed shapes opposing one another magnetically. [18:12:53] * Eve steps up to one of the cultists and slashes him across the chest. He goes down quickly, and eve turns to the cultist next to him on the bench. "Your judging is being next, filth!" [18:19:40] * The cultists stand from the benches and turn, bringing hand weapons to bear on Eve and Xan [18:20:56] [Paera's turn] [18:31:27] * Paera strides forward, looking more confident than usual. "Your interference in the lives of the people living in this city, both on the surface and in the sewers has gone far enough. May Erathis judge your misdeeds." She thrusts her holy symbol forward, clasping it in both hands. A white blaze flares out, reducing five of the cultists to ash. As the light fades, a small glow remains around Eve. [18:34:49] * Eilenia steps up between Eve and Paera. She points her Orb at another group of cultists, and smiles. There's a flash of lightning, then a localized peal of thunder that blows every enemy next to her (and a few that aren't) away. [18:35:46] * Eilenia then points her orb at the Cult leader and those around him. A brief moment passes, and a wave of weariness passes through them, leaving one especially worn. [18:36:19] * Two of the cultists stagger forward, muttering about traitors to the hive-mother as they stumble [18:38:45] * Eilenia grips her orb a little tighter, and the power over the leader strengthens into a heavy burden. [18:39:08] * The cult leader presses his hands against the sides of his head and stares at Eve, and she screams, pressing her forehead into her shield arm. A cultist tries to take a swing, but fails. [18:39:18] [Xan's turn] [18:42:08] * Xan holds out his palms, firing a wide shot into the melee that Eve is involved in, his second shot hitting home, streaking though the chest and major vitals of the cultist near him. He ducks behind a pew. [18:42:17] * Eve recovers and takes advantage of the cultist's moment of distraction to run him through [18:42:21] [Devia's turn] [18:42:37] * Charles changes topic to '[Cult Leader] 24 [Xan/Eve] 21 [Devia] 15 [Cultist B] 14' [18:43:00] * Charles changes topic to '[Cult Leader] 24 [Xan/Eve] 21 [Devia] 15 [Cultist B] 14 [Paera] 11 [Cultist H] 10 [Eilenia] 8' [18:43:13] * Charles changes topic to '[Cult Leader] 24 [Xan/Eve] 21 [Devia] 15 [Cultist B] 14 [Paera] 11 [Cultist H] 10 [Eilenia] 8 [Cultist L] 3' [18:44:19] * sarah is now known as devia [18:44:26] * Eve vaults across the pews, and points her blade at the cultist. "You end here, filth!" [18:49:20] * devia stirs, sitting up in fashion of one who has been drunk for far too long and is baffled by the fact that reality exist again. The dooplganger's minimalistic features don't do justice to her baflement. she pulled two katars from her high laced boots and snuck around to the pew. [19:05:42] * Charles changes topic to '[Cult Leader] 24 [Xan/Eve] 21 [Devia] 15 [Paera] 11 [Cultist H] 10 [Eilenia] 8 [Cultist L] 3' [19:09:09] * devia lunges forward and strikes the cultist with one of her katar, slicing into his shoulder. [19:11:32] * As Paera fires off a sacred flame, one of the cultists staggers up and then falls at her feet, asleep [19:11:49] [Paera's turn] [19:11:52] * Paera moves further into the room, reciting a quick prayer as she gestures at a cultist. Light flashes, but the cultist is unharmed. [19:13:10] [Eilenia's turn] [19:15:58] * Charles changes topic to '[Cult Leader] 24 [Xan/Eve] 21 [Devia] 15 [Paera] 11 [Cultist H] 10 [Eilenia] 8' [19:16:22] * Eilenia launches a ball of white frozen slush towards the cultist leader, where it quickly freezes on the ground. One of the cultists slips and falls on the ground, knocking himself out. The cult leader slips and falls too, but remains conscious. [19:20:12] * The cult leader pushes himself up and grabs onto Eve's head with both hands, grimacing as she begins to convulse [19:23:13] * Xan ducks behind a pew and fires two quicksilver blasts from his gauntlet, which pierce the cult leader straight through. Screaming, the cult leader begins to thrash, and his skin begins tearing off from his body as his mass of flesh bursts out of its encasement. [19:26:08] * The cultist shrieks wordlessly as he spills out from his flesh, his jaw hanging open as fleshy, white parasite-mass protrudes from the skeleton of the host. Its ribcaged is fused together into a solid mass, and white cords of flesh are wrapped around the hips and limbs, moving them like a puppet. From the back, it's clear that the parasite is fusing with the spine. [19:26:26] * Finally, it stops thrashing and screams atonally, the sound buffeting your minds and ears [19:27:56] * Paera (a@wnpgmb014tw-ad03-32-59.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [19:30:14] [Devia's turn] [19:35:12] * Paera (a@wnpgmb014tw-ad03-32-59.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Odal [19:41:35] * Paera (a@wnpgmb014tw-ad03-32-59.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [19:43:58] * devia slashed at it again, "you are disgusting!" she yells angrily. [19:47:30] * Paera (a@wnpgmb014tw-ad03-32-59.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Odal [19:50:15] * Paera curses and dashes to Eve's side, not paying much attention to the writhing horror. "C'mon Eve, just hang on a little longer..." She holds her hands over Eve's limp body and begins to pray. [19:52:09] * The cultist continues to sleep [19:52:16] [Eilenia's turn] [19:54:16] * Eilenia steps over to the sleeping cultist, and bends over a bit. She gives her a strong poke in the tummy. "Hee." [19:55:57] * Charles changes topic to '[Cult Leader] 24 [Xan/Eve] 21 [Devia] 15 [Paera] 11 [Eilenia] 8' [19:56:46] * The cult leader parasite turns to Paera and howls. Hints of visions of the far realm tug at her mind, but she manages to avoid giving them consideration [19:57:19] [Xan's turn] [19:57:34] * Paera looks up from Eve and glares at the entity. "You're gonna have to do better than that." [20:02:51] * Xan clutches the back of a pew, deftly vaulting over it, eyes narrowing as he rushes for the creature, leaping into the air, hammerfisted gauntlet clutching the cultist/creature's skull and driving it into the ground, the force of his blow shattering not only the creature's skull, but its spinal column as well, the monster of a man shattering like glass under his crushing grip. [20:05:07] * Eilenia looks over to Devia. "Hi there!' [20:05:32] * Paera helps Eve to her feet. "You gonna be okay?" [20:06:00] * Xan searches the remains of the cultist, moving over to the statue. [20:06:56] * The statue is clammy to the touch and has a strangely rubbery consistancy, but doesn't seem to be alive by any means [20:07:10] What do you suppose this thing does? [20:09:10] "It burns if you've got lamp oil. [20:09:53] * The cult leader is wearing an amulet inscribed with protective runes. In the pockets of his torn robe, he carried a bulging purse wih 260 gold pieces [20:10:03] Well, no good leaving it alive, right? [20:10:09] Well, here, anyway. [20:10:20] Or in one piece. [20:11:18] * Eilenia looks for that jar the leader had. [20:11:42] * Paera looks over at the former prisoner worriedly, now that she's sure Eve's okay. "Are you alright? They didn't...put any of those parasites in you, did they?" [20:12:11] * The jar is still clutched in his hand. [20:12:51] * Eilenia picks it up and looks inside. [20:13:48] * Xan calmly moves over to the cultists, examining and trying to identify the bodies. [20:15:40] parasites? I have no idea what the hell is going on. I don't think so, I'd know right? *she looked worried [20:15:46] "I think we just killed off the town council." [20:16:14] * Xan lifts a hand, pulling the signet ring from its finger. [20:16:33] * Paera turns her head sharply towards Xan. "Oh hell. You're serious. ...well, you're always serious." [20:17:11] * Eilenia starts collecting rings. And tying up anyone who's still alive. [20:17:18] * devia give a startled look "Oh thing are getting better and better" [20:17:21] * Xan nods, moving behind the altar and peering into the passage beyond. [20:18:11] * Paera approaches Devia. "Did they do anything else to you? Any injuries?" [20:18:47] * The passage leads out to a beach, the ocean past it. The ocean water laps against the moonlit sand [20:19:15] * Xan steps out onto the beach, peering into the water. [20:20:54] * Eilenia follows along, curious. [20:21:08] * Eilenia looks around for clues of any sort. [20:21:31] * It's hard to tell through the foam and the surf, but there seems to be some parasites in the water, scattered here and there [20:23:24] "No i think I'm fine. Last thing I remeber I was in the pub..." [20:24:47] * Eve pushes herself off the ground. "I am thinking that this city is being less than safe. But if we are not sleeping soon, there is good chance that I am never sleeping again." [20:24:51] "Hmph. How to best kill them.." [20:25:24] * Paera sighs, relieved. "That's good to hear. When we heard they'd dragged some kind of hostage down here, I was worried it was too late." [20:25:43] They just grabbed you in the pub? [20:25:48] * Xan steps back inside. "Pardon, but your skills in conjuring electrical energy are needed for a moment. Could you step outside with me please?" [20:28:22] it seems like it. I thought I was wakign up to a hangover not a battle. [20:28:51] * Eilenia idly summons fey daggers and sends them into the sea, churning and slashing and bursting into bright colors, making short work of whatever parasites she's able to see. [20:30:18] This is where the parasites are introduced into the city's water, right? [20:30:46] * Charles changes topic to '' [20:31:11] "Observing this, it is doubtful that the city water supply has been contaminated. We need to make sure that people boil their water appropriately." [20:31:43] Oh yes. But how to go about doing that... [20:32:42] How are they getting into the ocean, anyay? [20:32:44] Especially since we just murdered their entire governing body. [20:33:18] "I think our uncontaminated friend is seen as a trusted public figure of sorts, no?" [20:33:19] We're not really in a good position to gain their trust. [20:33:41] Who says we murdered them? [20:35:10] * devia stands back watching them converse [20:35:21] "We aren't capable of engineering a conspiracy of this magnitude on our own." [20:35:51] "I would move that we get in touch with our contact, then call in the city guard and allow them an investigation." [20:36:13] Defintely. [20:36:33] So, where are those guards they sent down here? [20:36:43] The ones we were allowed down here to find? [20:37:25] * Xan searches for any bones/bodies. [20:37:39] Well, we DO have witnesses who saw us go down here. [20:38:05] Why did we go down ehre? [20:38:14] * There are two boxes in the sides of the rooms, each of which contains a body, ritually murdered and cut into its component pieces. One's much more recent than the other, but their gear is removed [20:38:44] The guards, remember? [20:38:51] "The guards." [20:39:13] "Vitcim to the senseless violence of places beyond mortal comprehension and sensibility." [20:39:16] So we did not come here with the intent to kill the council. Problem solved. [20:39:34] * Eve looks up. "The city guard did say they would be in our debt. Maybe we should see exactly how in our debt they are." [20:40:18] Now there's an idea. [20:40:22] * "Normally, I would not be reccomending such a course of actions, but this situation is being extraordinary. If this gets out, the city may be falling into chaos." [20:40:23] That works. [20:40:54] "sooo get out while you can? thats what I'd do" [20:42:57] "No, we just inform the right people who can take charge of a frightened populace." [20:43:04] * Eve frowns. "We are doing what we must, because we can. No less is suitable." [20:43:20] Is this all of the ones who were infected? [20:43:25] "These people have been under enough duress with one dead, presumably honorably public leader." [20:43:35] "It is my guess that it is." [20:44:15] * "It's possible. Perhaps we should be bringing the scrolls to Rana and see if she can be understanding them." [20:44:18] Even if I _wanted_ to get out, which I don't, I wouldn't be a very good priestess of Erathis if I let a city fall into chaos without trying to help. [20:44:42] * Eilenia nods. [20:44:48] Let's do this, then. [20:45:34] * Xan leads the party out of the sewers after collecting some base evidence of what took place. [20:49:42] * You leave the sewers. As you go, the goblins are beginning to recollect themselves, the two healthy ones disassembling the fortifications they had built at the cult's behest. When you get outside, the guards are waiting, standing by the canal. [20:50:22] "I would like to respectfully request that you summon the guard captain. We have a major situation on our hands." [20:51:23] * One of the guards spins and nods. "Right away!" He begins running alongside the canal. [20:51:50] * Another guard approaches. "Did you find him? What happened?" [20:51:59] "We would also like for you to see about fetching " [20:53:10] "They were ritualistically murdered by a cult consisting of some members of your town's upper castes, namely the council. They were infected with a parasite that kills the body, then takes it over and controls it as if it were a puppet." [20:53:49] * The guard pales. "I'll get Madame Wellmot immediately." He begins running as well [20:54:10] do you folks usualy order teh guard around? [20:54:33] "I think that adequately summed up the situation, no?" [20:54:52] bluntly. very bluntly. [20:55:24] Well, they DID ask us to go down there. We don't really have the time for tact here. [20:55:44] * After a short wait, the guard captain arrives. He seems as though he's been brought out of bed. "What's the meaning of all this?" [20:55:47] "These people have been lied to enough." [20:56:14] * Xan restates the situation, exactly as he had before. [20:57:38] * devia adds helpfuly "and I was kidnapped" [20:59:03] * Eilenia holds up the jar. "They were holding this." [20:59:26] * Several guards corrborate the story and the captain of the guard pales. "This is... This can't be. If this gets out..." He begins muttering to himself. "We have to find a way to keep this quiet until a new arrangement can be made. We owe you for destroying the threat, but with only the duchess left, Harborhead doesn't have easy times ahead." [21:01:29] "Might I suggest that you take over as mayor and allow Madame Wellmot to assist you in making sure the townsfolk are safe. She brought the matter to our attention to begin with." [21:02:45] * "Your suggestion's noted. I'll begin making arrangements in the morning. You'll be rewarded for what you did for Harborhead, of course, so come to the central barracks sometime in the afternoon." [21:03:05] You can find the remains and the source of the infection in a tunnel off an old guard room deep in the sewers. If you don't trouble the goblins down there, they should leave you alone. [21:04:09] * "Thank you. We'll be sure to investigate, and step lightly about the goblins." He nods at Xev. "Your suggestion's noted. I'll begin making arrangements in the morning. You'll be rewarded for what you did for Harborhead, of course, so come to the central barracks sometime in the afternoon." [21:04:46] There is a weird pillar there. I don't like it. [21:05:06] * He turns on his heel and leaves. A few mintues later, Rana Wellmot arrives, escorted by a guard. "What's the problem?" [21:05:09] "I would suggest you destroy it." [21:05:47] Yeah, I'm not sure what it represents, but it can't be good...actually, maybe Rana should see it. [21:06:31] * Eilenia nods [21:06:44] I hope it's purely symbolic. [21:07:05] was it suposed to be thier god? [21:07:07] I'm not sure of what. [21:07:36] their* [21:07:41] It's possible. I'm not really an expert on tentacle altars. [21:08:26] I haven't goten the chance to thnak you yet have I? [21:08:55] Not yet, no. [21:09:03] Now? [21:09:28] Wellt hank you, I don't say it often. that proably the weirdest thing thats ever hapened to me. and I get my self into some strang things. [21:10:22] * Rana takes whatever you're willing to investigate, and requests that you visit her first thing tomorrow morning for the results of her research on them, then leaves to begin figuring things out [21:10:54] * Eilenia nods. [21:11:45] * Eilenia turns to Devia. "By the way, I am Eilenia Amastacia." [21:13:42] * devia smiles, "I'm devia." [21:14:42] "Xan." [21:14:44] * Eilenia is a young eladrin in her mid-teens, perhaps. She has long blonde hair, and her eyes and pupilless sapphire-colored orbs. She dresses in elegant blue clothing. [21:15:32] * devia nodds to Xan who shes pegged for the leader of the group. [21:16:12] * Paera extends a hand. "Paera Tress." [21:17:11] * devia takes her hand awkwardly, "nice to meet you" [21:17:56] * Xan bows [21:19:47] * devia is a young dopplaganger, her face seems to be lacking features but has a minimalistic feminity to it. her skin pale pushing to gray in tone. Her eyees are livly and amber and her white hair is plaited in two braids. her clothing is typical of active adventurer and rather genderless in cut. to katars are sheathed on either hip. [21:19:53] * Paera is a short, red-skinned Tiefling with long, thin horns that curve tightly along her head. Her shoulder-length black hair has a burnt reddish on the ends. She's dressed simply in a plain grey robe, with a symbol of Erathis hanging around her neck. [21:23:15] have you all been travelign together long? *she asks cocking her head [21:24:25] "Not very long." [21:24:47] "But long enough to share a common purpose." [21:25:14] "other than saving maidens and distress and slaughtering nobles that would be...?" [21:25:16] It feels like it's been a while, but we've really just started this journey. It's been...eventful. [21:25:31] she was playfull when she spoke. [21:26:54] The village of Odal's Fen needs food for the winter, so we seek someone to help them. [21:29:44] I see [21:30:00] I've never hear dof such a place. It must be far off then. [21:31:35] It's not that far, but...well, it's not particularly large or prominent. [21:33:04] "I do not even hail from there. I simply seek a way home, and figure that I may as well do what I can along the way." [21:33:42] I don't even come from the World. I make my home in the Feywild, and my mentor suggested this would be a good way to learn [21:34:49] Interesting. Wich way do you intend to go after this is settled. This town does not seem to be prepared to help you. unless this parasite hunting was in return for the rations you need? [21:35:24] We were really just passing through, but we kind of got wrapped up in things. [21:35:55] They may send some food if they can spare any, but we are unsure. [21:37:31] I'd give you directions to more prosperous places, its the least I could do for your help. but I don't even think this is the twon I was in the pub at. [21:38:58] * Paera blinks. "Oh man. That can't be a good sign. If they took you from another town entirely...then this whole mess runs a lot deeper." [21:39:26] "You're welcome to travel with us as much as you like. You handled yourself well enough back there to be a capable addition to our group." [21:40:46] That would be an easy way to repay you at least. I'ma traveler, but I usualy keep to myself. blending in and the likes. [21:41:12] Yeah, we could use the help. And if someone unsavory really is targetting you...well, there's strength in numbers. [21:41:20] "Those talents could be of use, as long as you serve as a trustworthy companion to us." [21:43:47] * devia huffed, "I hope thats not your atempt at subtly.I've already siad I owe you. I intend nothing but trust worthyness." she held up her hands. [21:44:52] "It is not so much your words or your race that concern me, simply that we took you from a place that was completely corrupted." [21:45:32] * Paera is now known as sleepyon [21:46:22] Another town? I hope it wasn't far. [21:48:36] * devia huffed again but pretended she didn't here him, "I don't know how far away it was, I've never been her before. So I can't realy guess" [21:48:41] hear* [21:50:34] Well, it can't be far. [21:51:59] it doesn't trealy matter, I travel, never stay one place long. [21:52:31] * Xan is now known as Mechazawa [21:52:49] * devia is now known as sarah [21:54:07] [Session End] End of #Odal buffer Mon Aug 11 21:54:25 2008 [20:25:01] Oh, everyone gets 125 XP for that fight
