it is morning in the Inn after the group emerged from the Fire Swamp
Talwin: Stretches, wishing he was back home
Ingegerd Grandelius: Good Morning!
Ingegerd Grandelius: How did you sleep?
Raelynn: Good morning!
Indigo: Good morning!
Raelynn: Always much better than sleeping outside.
Zayden: Good morning Ingegerd!
Talwin: Good Morning! Remarkably well considering the last few nights. Thank you for a lovely nights rest
Ingegerd Grandelius: OH you poor thing, why would you sleep outside?
Indigo: very glad breakfast is not going to be served by the pig slop woman
Ingegerd Grandelius: Did you get in trouble?
Raelynn: It's what adventurers do apparently.
Ingegerd Grandelius: My mother made me sleep outside when I was bad
Raelynn: Me? In trouble? HA!
Ingegerd Grandelius: Good for you!
Ingegerd Grandelius: Make them think you like it so they do not make you do it
Talwin: Er, well I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad you seem to be doing well now though
Raelynn: What's for breakfast?
Ingegerd Grandelius: Eggs
Zayden: yummy!
Ingegerd Grandelius: They are so cheap
Indigo: Newt eggs?
Indigo: grins
Ingegerd Grandelius: We get lots of them
Craigh: grunts as he stiffly sits down.
Ingegerd Grandelius: Where are you folks going?
Talwin: Better not to ask I think. I'd love some eggs Ingegerd, thank you
Talwin: Oh!
Talwin: Heading back to our boat
Indigo: Back to Bort's Beach
Ingegerd Grandelius: When I got here this morning I was told to make sure you paid your bill but that you were nice and friendly
Raelynn: And Dryads Lair!
Ingegerd Grandelius: Oh I am sorry
Talwin: Ah, my apologies. I can settle our tab now sir
Ingegerd Grandelius: The city is so dirty
Raelynn: Sorry?
Talwin: Cocks head in question
Raelynn: Mmm, not all parts of it. But some parts... maybe.
Indigo: With what? You gave the dragon all your gold!
Ingegerd Grandelius: I fled the City as soon as I could
Raelynn: I mean... I did, too, but for a different city. And then a different one?
Raelynn: They're all so different, but they have fun parts to them.
Ingegerd Grandelius: Are there any good Cities?
Raelynn: I think I like Loosend better than Dryads Lair. Dragon Fen still needs... work.
Raelynn: It's nice, but it's not a giant party like Loosend.
Ingegerd Grandelius: What is a Dragon fen?
Talwin: Defensively
Ingegerd Grandelius: That sounds depressing
Indigo: That's not a city
Talwin: We're making it better Raelynn
Raelynn: Some settlement down in The Mist.
Indigo: I like RiversBend
Talwin: Pretty soon we'll have stone as the castle
Ingegerd Grandelius: How many churches does it have?
Talwin: Proudly
Talwin: One
Raelynn: Well it'd be nice for it to become a city.
Talwin: for now
Raelynn: You have two! An elven one as well.
Howard Plum: Dragon Fen is an estate. Not a settlement!
Raelynn: Er, well it's more a shrine?
Talwin: Slaps head
Talwin: I'm sorry Raelynn
Raelynn: Oh, details details. Dragon Fen is somewhere people live that is NOT Loosend.
Talwin: Honestly, I've been keeping more track of defensive structures and businesses
Ingegerd Grandelius: Is an Estate better than a City?
Talwin: It will be one day Raelynn
Raelynn: It depends on what you want in life.
Talwin: Again, defensively
Raelynn: I hope so, Talwin!
Raelynn: At least we have a bit of sun there now.
Talwin: Smiles, but worries internally
Talwin: Snorts
Ingegerd Grandelius: OOOOO, looks at Talwin, I think she just made fun of where you are from
Talwin: Er, yeah. She's good at backhanded compliments
Raelynn: grins
Talwin: That's why we love her
Talwin: Deadpan
Raelynn: I am quite loveable.
Ingegerd Grandelius: My mother was too good with a backhand
Ingegerd Grandelius: Another reason to get out of the City
Talwin: Hm
Talwin: Ponders
Talwin: Poor choice of my words
Raelynn: That sounds more like a family problem than a city problem...
Talwin: I'm sorry that you lived through that
Talwin: Do you run this business?
Ingegerd Grandelius: OH NO, I am just the morning help
Ingegerd Grandelius: this afternoon I will be helping to mend the nets on the docks
Ingegerd Grandelius: I could not run a business
Ingegerd Grandelius: that is for smart people
Talwin: Er
Talwin: You seem intelligent enough to be manning the inn?
Ingegerd Grandelius: This is easy, make a mess of eggs, fry up some sausage, make the people feel nice, make sure to get paid
Ingegerd Grandelius: It is not complicated like making stew
Ingegerd Grandelius: I have your bill here
Raelynn: Do you.. often cook?
Ingegerd Grandelius: 200 ... I think this is a c? or is that an S?
Talwin: Nods, takes the bill.
Talwin: Oh dear.
Ingegerd Grandelius: Oh I like frying things
Ingegerd Grandelius: I take the skillet and heat it up hot
Ingegerd Grandelius: then SMASH down with the spatula
Talwin: Leans back slightly
Ingegerd Grandelius: Or you can take the whisk and SMASH SMASH SMASH the eggs
Raelynn: Uh huh...
Raelynn: You... crack the eggs first, right?
Ingegerd Grandelius: You can really beat them into a pulp
Craigh: Bread. Is there bread? And water?
Talwin: Bill forgotten, listening with intent
Ingegerd Grandelius: I think there is bread
Talwin: Curious about this egg smashing
Ingegerd Grandelius: from last night
Ingegerd Grandelius: that is hard
Ingegerd Grandelius: I can do the rising
Ingegerd Grandelius: you let it sit in the sun
Ingegerd Grandelius: it grows
Ingegerd Grandelius: then you PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH it down
Ingegerd Grandelius: the you let it rise again
Ingegerd Grandelius: and then you SLAP SLAP SLAP
Ingegerd Grandelius: and you fold it into balls
Raelynn: You, um, you really have a great... storytelling ability? Very... handsy.
Ingegerd Grandelius: then you take the ball and SQUEEZE them
Ingegerd Grandelius: and make them really tight
Craigh: Great. Sounds wonderful. I'm just going to go get some rations.
Talwin: Bixi? Is this how bread is made?
Talwin: Side-eyes Craigh
Craigh: gets up from his chair and stiffly walks back to their gear.
Raelynn: Bixi wanted to sleep in this morning.
Talwin: Bring me one?
Craigh: nods.
Ingegerd Grandelius: Then you toss them in the oven and they bake up nice and fluffy
Raelynn: I think her legs were really tired from running yesterday.
Talwin: Fluffy?
Talwin: Er, can we take loaf to see?
Talwin: I have yet to see an inn that could make them fluffy.
Ingegerd Grandelius: hands the group their platter of scrambled eggs and flattened sausages
Indigo: Thank you!
Ingegerd Grandelius: Well I need to go SQUEEZE the balls first
Talwin: Thank you!
Ingegerd Grandelius: so they can bake them later
Indigo: fills his plate with eggs and smashed sausages
Ingegerd Grandelius: Goes to the back room
Youtargim: quietly, wow
Zayden: yummy!
Zayden: I like how flat these sausages are Ingegerd!
Talwin: oh my gods
Indigo: She smashed the sausages too!
Indigo: She must like smashing things
Talwin: Does the estate have a cook?
Michael (Talwin): Whispers
Raelynn: Well, um, it'll be filling?
Craigh: comes back with a few trail rations and sets them on the table for anyone that wants some, keeping one for himself.
Indigo: The whole estate?
Indigo: Jilly oversees the cook at the manor
Indigo: The estate is made up of a bunch of villages and farms. There is no cook for the whole estate!
Talwin: I mean the Protectorate itself
Talwin: Jilly can be everywhere!
Talwin: Look at this breakfast!
Talwin: Did you try this sausage???
Talwin: I have never seen it flattened!
Indigo: That's the protectorate that is filled with gnome villages and the governor and all
Talwin: It tastes amazing!
Indigo: Not one cook there for everyone either
Talwin: And me and the small keep
Talwin: I'm going to ask
Raelynn: I'm looking forward to a salad this evening...
Indigo: Ask who?
Talwin: But seriously, is this a C or an S
Talwin: on the bill
Talwin: How much do we owe here?
Indigo: It has to be copper
Talwin: But I think the gods mean Silver
Talwin: For some odd insight
Raelynn: Is that normal rate for a place like... this?
Indigo: Two nights and food for a dozen people ...
Indigo: Ask her if it includes the docking fee
Craigh: I'm going to pass on the sausage. Even in the best places you don't know what the meat is.
Talwin: Stuffing his face
Talwin: seems good to me
Indigo: It's good though
Zayden: meat is meat you know
Talwin: Well....
Zayden chomps away
Talwin: I don't like Horse very much
Zayden: well we don't want to be rude to our hosts
Talwin: snorts
Zayden: and y ou know, you gotta embrace the culture when you travel
Talwin: Zayden, I think that you could unintentionally insult anyone we meet
Raelynn: That's a good outlook, Zayden!
Talwin: And I mean that in the best possible way
Zayden: Thanks Tal!
Zayden eats more sausage
Talwin: Smiles Warmly
Talwin: You are so much fun to be around
Zayden: Not that I intend to insult anybody actually
Zayden: and thanks Rae
Zayden smiles
Talwin: Except your singing while trying to sneak. That one still baffles me
Talwin: Perhaps it baffled our enemies too
Raelynn: Maybe he just likes having a theme song while he sneaks?
Talwin: Prepares the fee.
Talwin: Places 1 GP as tip
Zayden: Well it wasn't really clear that we were sneaking Tal
Zayden: I think maybe we need to work on our communications
While you a re tidying up everything the Ranger comes down for his breakfast
Zayden: like as an after adventure report, for next time
Raelynn: Good morning, Bredin!
Youtargim: Looks at Rae, after action reports? We can avoid those right?
Raelynn: After action reports?
Talwin: No need. I have written a log
Raelynn: Who are we reporting to?
Youtargim: When you raid some ships, you have to report back on what you took, we don't do that right? Indigo never did that before with us
Zayden: Well I guess we could just discuss some time over wine, we don't to develop a report per se
Talwin: What?
Talwin: Why would you do that?
Talwin: Don't you have to report that on our taxes or something?
Raelynn: Well we didn't do any raiding. We just made a friend is all and some trading.
Talwin: ...yeah, what she said
Zayden: hey that rhymed!
Talwin: Leans to Indigo
Youtargim: From what I have seen Branwyn has zero interest in us reporting back to her every little thing, as long as we are alive and mostly in one piece
Indigo: Yup
Talwin: I need to hire an accountant for what I owe the estate
Talwin: Grumbles
Talwin: Sigh dramatically
Indigo: Huh? to Talwin
Talwin: Do knights get paid?
Raelynn: Well this is Talwin's quest so I don't know why we're report to her.
Zayden: well ok never mind then, we need to work on our communication, end of report
Raelynn: She probably would be interested as a friend in how it went, but I don't think she cares otherwise?
Talwin: Ugh, the Free Cities taxed everything
Talwin: Mumbles
Youtargim: Well Talwin didn't you have that straight laced super uptight guy at home?
Talwin: depending on the ruling bandit at the time
Raelynn: Oh you mean Sundroop?
Youtargim: You could get him to do your bookkeeping
Indigo: We only need to report to Branwyn if we completely screw something up and it's going to fall on her for some reason
Talwin: I think I'm going to actually hire a person to deal with people. I think I've realized how much I like home...
Raelynn: points to Indigo and nods
Talwin: I might have even learned a thing or two
Youtargim: Thank you Indigo
Talwin: A real hero’s journey
Raelynn: Don't have Sunny do that. He's not good with people.
Talwin: or something
Youtargim: I report to you that I and the people I care about have survived this mission for Talwin mostly unscathed, and we have picked up one new Ranger for the group
Talwin: Well in that case Indigo, I hope that she is quite pleased with the gift we are bringing back
Talwin: Whispers
Youtargim: Points to Daph
Talwin: Maybe Youtargim
Raelynn: glances over at Daph stuffing her face
Talwin: glances over
Talwin: watching in wonder
Talwin: We're going to ask if she wants to come with us
Raelynn: whispers, “Wow, she can eat a LOT.”
Talwin: Worst case, we give her a hammer
Raelynn: Daph already is.
Talwin: Jilly will love her
Raelynn: It's Bredin you weren't sure about.
Talwin: Right
Talwin: Points to Raelynn
Raelynn: Maybe you need more sleep. You've had a stressful few days.
Raelynn: smiles
Talwin: Plenty of time for that later
Indigo: She probably won't come
Talwin: Sighs
Indigo: She lives here, It's her home
Talwin: Probably not
Raelynn: OH! You mean the cook?
Talwin: But I'd leave if I was backhanded quite often
Talwin: YES!
Raelynn: Oh, sorry. Maybe I'm the one who needs more sleep.
Talwin: Smiles
Talwin: Honestly, after we return to Alexandria, you will probably have a good amount of time to sleep
Talwin: and maybe relax if we are lucky
Talwin: before returning
Raelynn: Well I still need to visit my mother before we head back.
Talwin: Nods
Raelynn: No better place to sleep than home!
Bredin: Comes down the stairs, slowly, one step at a time
Talwin: Morning! Have some Sausage
Bredin: Hello, you are still here, I thought you would want an early start
Talwin: We were waiting for you!
Talwin: Also Bixi is tired
Zayden: and good morning to y ou!
Indigo: Breakfast is really good
Zayden: Sausages are yummy
Zayden: Bredin, do you have many children?
Bredin: Ingegerd, Can I have some breakfast please?
Lanek: scarfing up sausage
Bredin: I do not have any children that I know of
Zayden: Oh ok, I was just wondering because of your name
Indigo: Morning Lanek!
Raelynn: His name?
Lanek: mhmph
Zayden: Yea you know, like to have and/or make babies?
Bredin: What do you mean about my name?
Bredin: Bredin?
Bredin: OH
Bredin: OH
Zayden: Yea like Breeding
Bredin: Ahhh, yeah I got it
Lanek: shaking his head
Bredin: heh no one has said that in a long time
Bredin: You got me
Zayden: Well I try to keep a child's wonder
Zayden smiles
Raelynn: listening to the conversation with confusion
Bredin: It is good
Bredin: I had forgotten that one, has been decades
Zayden: I hope they are fond memories a stirred up
Youtargim: Looks at Rae to explain, then decides not to
Bredin: They are memories
Bredin: So you are all off back to wherever you came from I take it
Craigh: That's the hope.
Raelynn: Yes, but I did wonder if you could tell us anything more about Vexaran? I'm curious if we met them or if it was a different dragon.
Bredin: Well there are only so many dragons you can meet and live to tell about I guess
Raelynn: Well true, but you never met them but heard stories, and dragons like to war and all, right? So it could be a different one.
Lanek: eating a boiled egg
Craigh: Is there an upper limit to that?
Raelynn: Or maybe a mate. You never know!
Zayden: dragons mating, can you imagine?!
Lanek is disappointed that they are all scrambled, smashing to bits
Talwin: Leans over to Lanek
Bredin: I do NOT want to imagine dragons mating
Talwin: What's up?
Talwin: You don't like Scrambled eggs?
Zayden: You may not want to Bredin, but what it is said, it cannot be unsaid
Raelynn: Well you must know SOMETHING if you've heard the stories about whoever it is who lives in the swamps.
Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 6]
Zayden: Rae I'll tell you everything I know!
Raelynn: whispers to Zayden, “Which is why sometimes it should be left UNSAID.”
Bredin: Smiles, I can say that she is an old fierce dragon
Lanek: shrugs to Talwin
Zayden: whispers to Rae: I've always struggled with that
Bredin: Who likes to talk to people until she gets bored and then burns them alive
Lanek: boiled eggs are here, that's what I’m eatin
Raelynn: (to Zayden) I know, but it's okay. We'll work on it.
Talwin: Gods above and below. Glad we entertained her
Talwin: Grumbles
Raelynn: Hmm, maybe it really was Vex then.
Raelynn: Have you heard any other names for her?
Indigo: Good thing we aren't boring
Talwin: She also likes to pretend to be a small Dragonette before dropping the illusion and becoming a massive scary sonofabitch
Zayden Humbly nods his head to Rae
Raelynn: Or has she only ever been known as Vexaran?
Bredin: I imagine she has lots of names
Raelynn: How do you know Vexaran is her name, then? Or is that what someone named her?
Bredin: I think that she has always been there
Talwin: She was massive, so yes, I'd imagine that she has been there a very long time
Raelynn: Hmm, you don't really know much about her, do you?
Talwin: A queen of the swamp as I recall
Bredin: I have only seen her twice
Raelynn: You have seen her??
Talwin: I thought you HADN”T seen her?
Talwin: You said yesterday you'd not yet seen her!
Raelynn: How did you survive? When did you see her??
Talwin: Which is it man?
Bredin: Once while I was running away from some lizard men, she ate a dozen or more of them
Bredin: and then another time there was a shadow flying overhead
Raelynn: But you didn't tell us earlier.
Bredin: Why would I want to worry you about a dragon you were not going to see?
Talwin: Bangs forehead on the bar softly twice
Raelynn: sighs
Raelynn: What's done is done, I suppose.
Bredin: I am glad for you
Raelynn: I feel like you can't tell me anything more I'd like to hear about her, though, if those were your only encounters.
Craigh: We ready to go yet?
Indigo: I am!
Talwin: Er, one sec?
Bredin: I have no understanding of her
Zayden: I'm good to go Craigh!
Talwin: Rolls eyes
Zayden: wait did we have coffee?
Talwin: Go ahead get a start
Talwin: I will bring you one to go
Bredin: Just another looming danger in the swamps
Zayden: A coffee?
Raelynn: We don't have whatever that is here, Zayden. Unless you want tea?
Talwin: What else? It's what you asked for!
Zayden: I mean if there's no coffee I'll take some tea sure
Talwin: Rolls eyes
Zayden: The key to fun travelling, Rae, don't get too stuck in our preferences
Talwin: Got it
Zayden: Hey Tal your eyes ok there buddy?
Raelynn: I can go wake Bixi if we're ready to go. And Bredin, if you ever see her again, and survive, please tell her I said hello!
Zayden: But I guess we can get going if everybody is ready to go
Talwin: At the moment...no. Get on going, we'll be right there
Bredin: Tell who?
Bredin: The dragon?
Bredin: I would not survive actually meeting her
Talwin: Sigh
Zayden: I feel like we could get along with dragons, if we really tried
Talwin: Look Bredin. I know this is a lot, but are you coming with us or not? If no, we wish you the best in life
Talwin: This is kind of the last chance
Raelynn: Yes! She was quite lovely. I wish I could send her more lotion, but I need time to make it and I haven't a clue how to get it to her.
Bredin: Hidden Dragons are not that easy to get along with
Indigo: Yeah Raelynn is having trouble understanding that the huge red dragon is evil and would likely kill her the next time she saw her
Raelynn: rolls eyes
Zayden: I'm sure the great moisturizer has convinced the dragon that we're not all bad, and maybe worth letting live
Raelynn: Anyways, I'll go wake Bixi. I know what I know.
Talwin: Hey, we've met several Raelynn. I doubt a red dragon has any real sense of friends. We are things to exploit, nothing else
Zayden: Wake her gently
Bredin: Great moister... I think I do not want to know
Talwin: But when I come back, you are welcome to come with
Raelynn: calls behind her, “Then maybe you all need to redefined what friendship means!”
Craigh: Has anyone tried the plain approach? Raelynn, the giant red dragon is evil and will eat you as soon as it gets peckish or bored.
Talwin: Oh and real quick Bredin. Know anything about the innkeep this morning?
Indigo: I guess if Branwyn could be friends with Jennevive then Raelynn could like a dragon ...
Talwin: Eyes Indigo
Talwin: Er...
Talwin: Not sure what to say
Talwin: I think the wordplay is about the same
Bredin: Ingegerd?
Talwin: Nods
Bredin: She works the mornings here, the docks in the afternoons
Talwin: She's a good cook. Thought about brining her with us for Protectorate. She like it here? I won't ask if she prefers it here
Talwin: We'd pay her obviously
Zayden: are we hiring a cook?
Bredin: I cannot imagine why she would not like it here after the abuse her family put her through in the City
Talwin: Then I shall not ask
Talwin: Thank you
Talwin: It did sound like that and I was worried
Zayden: abuse huh? That's terrible
Bredin: So I was thinking
Talwin: But it sounds like she has escaped that
Talwin: Nods. Go on?
Bredin: You said you could take me to the Celestry?
Bredin: to get my leg healed?
Talwin: And then on to the Protectorate, IF that is what you want
Talwin: Otherwise, you can go wherever you wish
Bredin: No no just to get the healing
Talwin: Shrugs
Talwin: We will have to see what they demand for healing your leg, but we can see what we can do
Talwin: We owe you that much
Bredin: I was thinking I might not get another chance to have someone actually get me into the Celestry
Bredin: You think you can do that?
Talwin: I can TRY Bredin.
Talwin: It depends on their ask.
Talwin: But I give you my word as a Knight I will TRY
Bredin: Wait you are not sure you can get me into the Celestry?
Howard Plum: I can get you into the Grand Celestry
Talwin: And there you go
Bredin: Blinks at Howard
Howard Plum: I am not sure what they will ask but they will see me if I ask
Bredin: You swear you can get me in there?
Talwin: Blinks
Talwin: Bredin, we can't control fates, but we can likely gain entrance
Talwin: From there, it's a matter of their demands
Talwin: Oh sorry
Howard Plum: Yes. Ummmm ... I am Kayugan and my family is ... known in Dryads Lair
Talwin: “Charitable contribution”
Talwin: Finger Quotes
Bredin: Digs into a pocket and hands over a ring to Howard
Howard Plum: What is this?
Bredin: If you can get me into the Celestry that might buy me the healing
Howard Plum: Save that for when we are there.
Talwin: Gods Bredin, let's see what they ask first.
Bredin: It is a ring, the mage that I stole it from said it was good to stop all undead from touching him
Talwin: Dear God Bredin
Howard Plum: coughs
Talwin: Sigh
Talwin: What do you think Howard? Should we introduce him to Ilero?
Lanek: the mage who gifted it to you
Howard Plum: Gifted?
Lanek: you say the “unwittingly” part silently
Talwin: Snort
Howard Plum: Did you kill this mage or just rob him?
Bredin: I say he gave it to me in exchange for the idea that he would make it out of the swamps in one piece
Lanek: if yer goner be stealin things, you should know how to use pieces of truth to lie about it
Talwin: Sounds familiar
Bredin: and he did not follow directions so he deserved to give it to me
Bredin: I did not kill him
Lanek: see. there ya go
Bredin: I promise
Craigh: Is he dead?
Bredin: swear to .. what god do you like?
Lanek: wait, did ya tell HIM about the dragon?
Bredin: I think he made it out of the swamps in one piece
Bredin: I put him on a raft on the river
Indigo: mutters, The more this guy talks the more I don't like him
Talwin: Well, let me put this clearly so as to not cause any confusion. Steal, borrow, or assume from us when we are trying to help you, and er, well. I wouldn't ask about what we did about the last one
Bredin: No way would I tell him about any dragon
Raelynn: Did he have... two friends with him?
Talwin: Sounds familiar
Talwin: Repeats
Talwin: Sighs
Lanek: sighs resignedly
Raelynn: Oh, and Bixi says she'll be ready when we go. She wants every last bit of sleep she can get.
Bredin: He had a whole bunch of people with him
Talwin: Coughs at Indigo's remark
Bredin: but they all died
Talwin: Shakes head. Dear gods
Bredin: That is why he gave me this ring as my birthday present
Talwin: Let's go before I slap someone
Raelynn: Was it actually your birthday?
Bredin: He did not know when it was
Licornah: :: is just listening to all this conversation unsure what to say or add, so stays quiet ::
Raelynn: rolls eyes
Bredin: I mean I have thought about this all night
Bredin: and I would never be able to get into the Celestry
Bredin: But if you can get me in there, then I will give you this ring
Bredin: you can test it beforehand
Bredin: I understand that
Howard Plum: sighs
Talwin: Let me pay our tab and we will go
Howard Plum: We would need an undead to test it on
Talwin: Not like we don't have those in the mists
Talwin: Grumbles
Raelynn: Could you identify it? Might be safer than wishing more undead upon us.
Howard Plum: Because Talwin wishes to help you, I will get you into the Celestry, but you will likely need the ring to pay for the spell
Bredin: I can do that
Bredin: but then what do I pay you with?
Raelynn: You have time to think of something.
Howard Plum: If you do not steal from us then I would consider it payment enough but that is up to Talwin
Talwin: Don't make me regret this. Please? I'm trying to be a better person. And despite my irritation, you already paid somewhat with that map. Even though I feel...I'm not sure what I feel. I feel I need to pay and we need to go
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: Let me be as clear as possible please
Talwin: Stealing, borrowing, or assuming usually ends with a painful death followed by Chum in the river.
Bredin: I promise not to steal from you Howard
Talwin: Snorts
Raelynn: Well at least you won't steal from one of us.
Talwin: Better make that to all of us Bredin. I hate wordplay
Talwin: Especially after a Dragon
Talwin: Swear it and we'll be on our way
Talwin: Pays Bill
Bredin: I promise not to steal from anyone here
Talwin: GP is for the tip for Inn keep with note wishing her the best and thanking for the wonderful smashed breakfast. The sausage was fantastic
Raelynn: Or anyone we interact with. If you're going to steal, it better be when we're not around.
Raelynn: I don't want to be associated with that.
Talwin: And you better not be caught. I deal with enough shit
Bredin: I just want to get to the Celestry
Raelynn: And you aren't cute like Thistle so I doubt you could get away with it.
Talwin: And with that, we're on our way
Raelynn: Ships ahoy!
Raelynn: Oh, wait. Boats ahoy?
Raelynn: Not sure I’ll ever get a hang of this watery life.
Zayden: yay lets go!
Raelynn: I can't wait to eat a nice, refreshing salad for dinner!
Talwin: Let's get underway.
Talwin: Nods at Raelynn
Lanek: making yuck face
Talwin pays the tab and the group sails back to Bort’s Beach with Bredin in tow, the Buttercup is still there safe and sound
the group has agreed to accompany Talwin to visit his potential new master, and immediately heads out towards Drakeshead
As the group is walking along the path towards the lighthouse
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You know you can just let me go, give me to that little one, she cannot control me, I can just live forever
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Or that Elf, she looks sweet, no one would suspect her if I was in her hands
Raelynn: Someone owes me an extra salad if we're skipping that tonight!
Indigo: There's lotsa grass around here
Indigo: grins
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Seriously who do you think you are better off without me
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You know that I am good for you
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You need an excuse to give into your blood lust and just slice that stupid mage in half
Raelynn: Grass doesn't make a good salad. Do I look like a cow??
Talwin: Hm, you don’t' sound like yourself today. I think you are getting a bit hangry. We need to kill something soon.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): EXACTLY
Talwin: Shocked
Talwin: NO Raelynn
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I have been saying this all week!
Talwin: Gods
Talwin: You are not a Cow?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We need to kill something
Raelynn: Thank you.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): OH OH OH
Raelynn: Then I need a real salad, not grass, when we have a chance.
Talwin: Rolls eyes. Jeeze Reven settle down. We'll get on that eventually
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): THAT IS IT
Talwin: I think Reven is grumpy today
Raelynn: I miss when you weren't muttering to yourself this morning...
Craigh: Swords can get emotional?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We you are so good at this, you can survive, WE kill that stupid centaur
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Then we declare we are the Master
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): and we can stay here
Raelynn: I doubt it's a big emotional range.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): and have people come to us
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): YES
Raelynn: More like a teaspoon
Indigo: You don't look like a cow but isn't grass like thin lettuce?
Talwin: You do realize that people already come to us right?
Talwin: Stops
Talwin: Horrified look at Indigo
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Well you are right
Raelynn: Ummm, no. Grass is grass and lettuce is nice and crispy and digestible.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): People already come to us so we can just kill that stupid centaur and go home
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): and people will come to us anyway
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): you are so smart
Talwin: Well....I'm still on your side Raelynn, but can't cows digest lettuce? NOT CALLING YOU A COW, just curious
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): This is why we need to stay together
Talwin: I'm going to stop talking now
Craigh: It's a good skill to learn.
Talwin: Yeah, I think we need some silence Reven. I like when you are in a better mood
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): yes stop talking about grass and cows until the hamburgers are served
Talwin: That doesn’t even make sense!
Talwin: Shouts
Raelynn: Thank you for clarifying. And they can, but cows have, like, six stomachs or something, and I only have one!
Talwin: Looks around
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Nice rare bloody hamburgers
Talwin: Sorry
Talwin: Reven is irritating me today. Something about Hamburgers
Talwin: He's hangry
Talwin: Gotta be it
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Yes
Raelynn: Can swords eat?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): One of these are not needed
Talwin: Stop talking Reven
Raelynn: Maybe Reven would eat grass.
Talwin: You know your bounds with me
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): the small one? she is not paying attention, we could take her
Talwin: Stops
Talwin: I'm about ready to throw you off the cliff
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Why?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): you did not mind my desires before?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): what is wrong?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You have changed
Raelynn: Throw me off a cliff??
Talwin: Calmly: You know your bounds with me. And you do not sound like yourself. Don't test me Reven
Raelynn: Oh. The sword. Good. Er, maybe. Are you okay, Talwin?
Talwin: Oh! Well in that Case...
Talwin: Unsheathes the Sword, last chance
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): YES
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): DO IT
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I can take them all
Craigh: I'd offer to carry the thing, if it didn't weigh more than me.
Talwin: Sigh
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): WE can take them all
Talwin: Really going to miss this sword
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We We We
Raelynn: Oh put that damn thing away. I'm tired, and hungry, and Alexandria is waiting.
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I mean it
Talwin: Grumbles. I'll never have another one this nice
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We are invincible
Raelynn: Just sheath is, stop touching it, and let's go.
Talwin: I'm sorry Reven, I think I’m tired of you. Maybe a few decades in the ocean will clear your head
Raelynn: If it's like that weird sword Kel has, you can just... let go of it.
Zayden: heard that before
Zayden smiles
Talwin: Tear on his face
Raelynn: TALWIN.
Talwin: Sighs
Talwin: Don't talk to me right now
Talwin: Continues walking
The sun is setting as the group reaches Alexandria
Talwin: I have the Gems
Talwin: We have five
Talwin: But I would keep two of them for the sake of my companions who risked much for us
Talwin: Bows
Raelynn: squeezes his shoulder and whispers, “You got this, Talwin.”
Lanek: whispers “what she said”
Talwin: What do you want from me from here? And, I would respectfully ask how to properly care for these gems. I am unsure if there are special requirements.
Talwin: Respectfully
Talwin: Bows
Talwin: I apologize for my tone. I have had a long day
Alexandria: Looks at the group as they arrive
Alexandria: So you decided you want to attempt to prove yourself?
Talwin: Bows
Talwin: “We have brought the Gems”
Talwin: “So yes”
Alexandria: Slight frown, you think the gems are the only thing you need to do to prove your self?
Talwin: Shakes head
Talwin: No, I figured it was more of a way to get your attention
Talwin: I'm certain there is more than that
Alexandria: Good
Bixi Fizzlebang: You already questioned his honor last time we were here
Alexandria: Just like there is a feint and a counter feign
Talwin: Nods, a bit more understanding of sword “lingo”
Talwin: A little more confident
Alexandria: You cannot take even the most powerful thrust and force it through plate mail
Talwin: Smiles wryly
Alexandria: You need to look for the weakness
Alexandria: at the joints, where things come together
Talwin: Cocks head, interested in this discussion
Alexandria: and see where you can separate the weak from the strong
Alexandria: Where are you weak Talwin?
Talwin: Snorts
Talwin: Waves hand
Talwin: I apologize
Talwin: It seems I am weak in several areas
Bixi Fizzlebang to Zayden: Oooh, pay attention, this could be good material for the rock opera
Talwin: Lots of room for growth
Talwin: At the moment, relationships
Talwin: However,
Zayden to Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh yea! For a sec there I forgot about the Rock Opera, great to have you back Bix!
Talwin: I would say most of all is patiently waiting
Bixi Fizzlebang to Zayden: Yeah, sorry I was gone so long doing... whatever it is I was doing
Talwin: Waiting is not a strong point. Patience is a serious lack in my repertoire
Alexandria: Waiting is good, stagnation is bad
Talwin: Even to my detriment
Talwin: Nods
Zayden to Bixi Fizzlebang: No worries, we all need time to ourselves...sometimes
Alexandria: Fast Slow and Stall, no Reverse
Talwin: No reverse?
Talwin: Leans in despite himself
Alexandria: You cannot go back and change the past
Talwin: In interest?
Alexandria: Ask your mages
Zayden: they say patience is a form of wisdom
Zayden: They was our Janitor back in Bard school
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm sorry, but Gerry would beg to differ
Alexandria: You need to stand in the Present
Talwin: Ah, a metaphor. I think I see the point
Talwin: Smiles despite himself
Zayden: He was a very wise janitor
Talwin: Tries very hard not to snort again at Zayden
Alexandria: You have an excellent sword in your hands
Alexandria: I have looked into your past
Alexandria: The priests tell me it is God Touched
Zayden: whoa
Talwin: I think it would beg to differ
Talwin: With sadness
Alexandria: Was your sword always like this?
Talwin: No. It was quite large
Alexandria: Was it more powerful because it was large?
Talwin: It was a gift for service to make it smaller for my own realistic use
Talwin: Shakes head. I could not wield it with accuracy
Zayden: I bet the ladies said that a lot eh Tal
Talwin: I was a very kind gift
Talwin: And I was honored by it. I respect it every day
Alexandria: And this being inside the sword
Talwin: Guarded
Raelynn: Zayden, shhhh!
Alexandria: The soul
Alexandria: the living embodiment
Zayden: Whispers to Rae: he was inside the sword?
Alexandria: that has been trapped inside of this metal
Alexandria: Is it more powerful than you are?
Talwin: Ponders with Seriousness
Raelynn: whispers back, “Okay, yes, that is funny but I don't think this is the time for that joke!”
Talwin: I do not know.
Talwin: Speaks with Honesty
Alexandria: Yes you do
Zayden: Whispers to Rae: ok thanks that helps Rae
Alexandria: Points to Indigo
Talwin: Shakes head
Alexandria: Is he more a friend to you than the soul in the sword?
Indigo: looks up
Zayden: Also whispers to Rae: I'm glad you found it funny though (with a smile)
Alexandria: Points to a random tree
Alexandria: Is that tree more alive than your trapped soul?
Raelynn: smiles back
Talwin: Reven is a person, despite his condition. He is deserving of the same respect I give Indigo. Friend or not
Alexandria: Good
Talwin: Slightly disagreeing but remaining respectful
Alexandria: You have learned
Alexandria: So Indigo
Alexandria: looks at him
Alexandria: Tell me, do you want to be encased inside a sword to live for hundreds of years, forced to do what who ever picks you up demands you do?
Indigo: Me? No!
Zayden: not it!
Indigo: I want to die and go to the great banquet
Alexandria: Nods
Alexandria: So Talwin is this soul inside your sword not worthy of going to his great banquet
Talwin: Cocks Head
Zayden: banquet sounds pretty nice
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): WHAT ARE YOU THINING!!
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We are meant to be together
Talwin: May I have a moment to ask? I will not force him to leave. I make no demands of him and I won't force him too
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): How can you even be here!
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Just slice her open
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): you can take over this camp
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Indigo will be fine with it you know that
Talwin: Looks to Alexandria
Talwin: Can you hear?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Why in the world would you even think that you do not know better than that horse!
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Of course we belong together, we can work together and do so many good things, so many bloody, deep thrusting hard things
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We will make this our own lighthouse
Talwin: Shrugs
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): She said there were two others
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We can kill her
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): then there are only two more
Talwin: He seems quite insistent to stay. Violent tendencies not withstanding
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): then WE will be the best in the world
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): It will be a great quest
Talwin: Ignores Reven for now
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): you want to go on that you know you do
Zayden: A sword can't thrust itself
Talwin: I think there is a lot of suffering there
Talwin: And I think that he had been wronged
Zayden: I think you're right Tal
Talwin: Forcing him to do something else is not something I have in mind
Talwin: As long as he does not stray from the bounds he clearly knows I have, I am not comfortable treating a living thing, pardon, soul like this
Talwin: I am almost certain you can hear this conversation
Talwin: Do you think he is not in his right mind?
Zayden: One could say Hate is on the opposite side of the spectrum of Love, that he could only hate because he once loved
Alexandria: You just heard your friends violently refuse to take the place of the soul inside that sword
Daphene: That's beautiful, bard.
Zayden: I wouldn't say violently
Craigh: There's a phrase I've heard before. “Cry for the puppy it used to be, but deal with the threat the rabid dog is now.”
Talwin: Er
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe more like, vehemently
Talwin: Not sure what that was supposed to mean
Zayden: Hey thanks Daphene! I forgot you were there great to see you
Talwin: I wouldn't ask them to take the place
Talwin: Cocks head
Talwin: I would never ask them too
Alexandria: Not one of your friends who care for you
Talwin: This sword cares for me, in its own way
Alexandria: they obviously care deeply to go face a dragon for you
Daphene: How could you forget, after watching me eat so much?
Talwin: Smiles
Talwin: Indeed
Talwin: The sword did too, however
Talwin: You asked me weakness
Alexandria: None of them would sacrifice themselves to be trapped, enslaved inside a sword like this soul is
Alexandria: Do you think this trapped soul is a better person than your friends?
Zayden: Oh that's right, I didn't forget, I just felt like I hadn't seen you for a bit, it's great having you in the group, and oh it's nice to no longer be the newest group member!
Talwin: My weakness is I won't force this sword to do anything it doesn't want it to do. I won't let it rampage and kill wantonly, but I refuse to treat it with any less respect then my friends
Talwin: I can't help it
Talwin: The Sword I mean
Alexandria: warm smiles
Talwin: But I can help it as best I can to ease it's suffering where I can
Alexandria: You know what these Fire Gems are used for?
Talwin: Nods. And I told Reven
Alexandria: Say it
Zayden: what are they used for?
Alexandria: Make everyone aware of the choice you are making
Talwin: That it will send the soul onwards
Talwin: Sighs
Talwin: Howard educated me on the topic
Zayden: ohhhhhh
Talwin: Nods with thanks to Howard
Talwin: I chose to carefully consider it, and Reven was quite upset at the idea
Howard Plum: smiles sadly
Alexandria: Reaches out give me one of the gems
Talwin: Who am I to judge this being who was wronged
Zayden: [SKILL] Musical Instrument [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 7]
Talwin: Hesitates, but carefully removes a Gem, keeping Reven sheathed
Alexandria: Takes the gem and holds it in one hand
Alexandria: Give me your sword
Talwin: Alexandria, I can't in good Conscious do this without knowing your intent. Even if it costs me everything
Talwin: Sadly
Alexandria: You need to hand me your sword Talwin the brave
Talwin: Shakes head
Talwin: I...I can't
Talwin: Tears
Alexandria: Holds out her hand
Alexandria: Only the brave can move on
Talwin: Please ask something else...anything else
Talwin: It's a person
Talwin: I can't
Zayden: Tal is one of the bravest I've ever witnessed
Alexandria: It is YOUR soul
Talwin: It is HIS soul I'm worried about
Craigh: Everybody dies. Staying on after death is for zombies and vampires.
Alexandria: Holds out her hand quietly firmly confidently
Talwin: Weeping
Talwin: Please
Daphene: I know it doesn't feel like it, Talwin, but this might be the best gift you could give to your friend
Talwin: I would think he would disagree
Craigh: Do you think he'd approve of what he's become?
Talwin: Do you think he asked for any of this?
Craigh: Puppy, Rabid Dog?
Talwin: Who am I to do this to a soul
Talwin: I wouldn't do it to you
Zayden: hate is bottomless bucket, it can never be filled
Talwin: What makes your soul more important to his?
Daphene: When all you've known is misery, it makes sense to be afraid of what's coming next
Talwin: I would defend it to the death
Raelynn: Talwin, we all want to move on. Death is but another journey. What's a life here if not one we get to live?
Alexandria: quietly To you or For you
Daphene: If I were trapped in a sword and corrupted, I would hope someone would be brave enough and kind enough to free me.
Indigo: If someone ever puts me in a sword I want you to get me out please
Talwin: But you ASKED to be let out
Talwin: He has not
Talwin: Reven
Indigo: Yes. It's up to you to decide
Talwin: Uncertainly
Zayden: Me as well, if I am ever in a sword, please release me, you can put that in writing
Talwin: “In head space” Uncertainly
Talwin: What do you want?
Zayden: what is to become a sword Tal?
Zayden: what is it?
Zayden: it's to become an instrument of death
Daphene: Talwin... does Reven seem like someone who is in their right mind and can make that kind of request knowing what it means?
Raelynn: The unknown is scary, and sometimes it's hard to know when we need to move on/.
Talwin: Shakily puts hand on pommel, but not quite ready to do this to his friend
Zayden: Seriously dude we came all this way
Daphene: Sometimes when people are sick, we make the best choices for them, whether they agree or not.
Talwin: I will regret this the rest of my life
Talwin: Quietly
Daphene: This is a different kind of sickness, but still, I think the choice is yours, not his.
Zayden: Sorry that was insensitive of me
Talwin: I am so sorry Reven, forgive me in the next life. Who will be with me now?
Lanek: frowns
Indigo: Then maybe you shouldn't do it. You don't want to live the rest of your life thinking you did the wrong thing
Raelynn: Your friends.
Talwin: Slowly draws the sword. “Will it be painful?”
Zayden: Indigo stop
Indigo: Only do it if you think it is the right thing to do
Daphene: Does Reven feel pain, Talwin?
Talwin: Oh yes. He feels pain
Zayden: I think we can be sure that he would ONLY do it if it was the right thing
Indigo: Why? You want him to think he's made the biggest mistake of his life forever?
Talwin: And It makes me proud I could lessen it
Zayden: why would he think that?
Lanek: he just said so
Indigo: He just said he'd regret it the rest of his life
Talwin: Master or not, if you make me regret this, I will find a way to return. Over and over
Talwin: Sadly
Indigo: I wouldn't want to live with that big a thing
Talwin: I'll miss you friend. I hope somehow you can visit
Bixi Fizzlebang: quietly so Talwin doesn't overhear, but to anyone else close enough, “Come on, we all know this thing is evil. Let him destroy it. We can talk sense into his feelings later.”
Zayden: he's just emotional, he'll get over it
Talwin: I'll look for you when I part here
Talwin: Drops the sword in the hand
Zayden: This is Talwin we're talking about, but yea we all get chipped when we lose loved ones, and that stays with us
Alexandria: Takes the sword
Alexandria: Bows to Talwin
Alexandria: Welcome
Alexandria: You are now truly a master
Zayden: She seems like a nice lady though I'm sure Reven will be fine
Talwin: I certainly don't feel like it.
Daphene: Wondering if you made the right choice is a part of grief.
Alexandria: You can over come your internal fears and master the external ones
Zayden: Renunciation, it's kind of a big deal
Daphene: Especially when it is a companion who can not make their own decision
Talwin: Subdued. Sure, when they don't beg to stay maybe
Alexandria: Now I will train you in how to wield your weapon
Zayden: nice that sounds pretty cool
Talwin: Nods, but without his usual energy
Alexandria: You have already made your first steps
Alexandria: When you have a supplicant come to you, you will know to look in their heart and understand if they need a weapon or a heart
Alexandria: You have a heart
Alexandria: You will be strong and powerful and
Alexandria: warm smile
Daphene: I have had pets that I think would have begged to stay, if they had words. They would have put their pain aside to bring me more comfort. Is that what Reven's doing? Is that what you want him to do?
Alexandria: you will protect
Raelynn: Like a dragon!
Zayden: whoa a dragon?!
The sword and the three gems go back into the lighthouse
everyone is treated to a warm happy dinner
Zayden: yummy
Raelynn: Vatra was strong, powerful, and protective. So why not like a dragon?
You have beds and everything here to keep you overnight
Zayden: did you give her any lotion?
Raelynn: Vatra? Yes, silly. But I need to make more now.
Craigh: Oh god, a bed...
and then you all go to a deep sleep
Zayden: oh ok very nice
Zayden: so sleepy
Zayden yawns
Zayden: anybody want a massage?
Talwin: Nods
Zayden: here I come buddy
Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector: Thank you, friend
Zayden gives Talwin a shoulder massage
Talwin to Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector: I am so sorry.
Zayden finds the kinks
Zayden his shoulders, his upper back, his bis and tris, all stiff as a board, tense as an over wrought violin
Talwin: I can bring these to the Lighthouse
Zayden really gets in there
Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector: a whisper in the back of Talwin's head “Don't think you're going to lose me so easily!”
Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector: I'm off protecting my family right now, but I'll be back to visit, don't worry!
Talwin: It sounds like a plan
Talwin: Smiles Warmly
Talwin: Bows to Alexandria
Talwin: Whatever was done
Talwin: Thank you
Talwin: I think
Talwin: I hope
Raelynn: But now you'll have to deal with Bixi ghost hunting
Now is breakfast
Daphene: Should we have a celebration for your lost friend?
Talwin: I would say yes. As I don't think he is separated for me forever
Talwin: Feeling rested after a deep sleep.
Talwin: “It's so quiet”
Talwin: As eating
Talwin: It will take getting used too
Lanek: these eggs are better
Indigo: You okay?
Daphene: I can't believe I'm hungry again already
Raelynn: They are better, but they're not a salad...
Talwin: Coughs up an piece of egg at Lanek's remark
Daphene: After how much I ate before
Indigo: Who eats salad for breakfast?
Lanek: yer not supposed to huff it, Talwin
Lanek: they don't get ya high
Talwin: I'll be fine. Now that I know he is not in pain and showed a penchant for happiness, I think maybe it was the right move
Talwin: I just
Youtargim: I think you meant who eats salad Indigo
Raelynn: A nice fruit salad is a lovely breakfast.
Talwin: Wish I felt better about it.
Talwin: But at the same time
Talwin: He seemed so happy
Raelynn: People who want to live healthy lives eat salad!
Youtargim: and that means you should always have some fruit and greens with your day, right Rae?
Talwin: How could I deny him that
Daphene: Maybe let's go outside and you can say a bit about your friend and we can have a moment of silence.
Craigh: Remember what I said the other night?
Raelynn: Obviously.
Daphene: And then drink to him
Talwin: It' so quiet
Daphene: A lot of drinks
Talwin: Repeats Quietly
Daphene: That's what I want people to do when I die
Raelynn: Drinking? This early in the morning?
Lanek: nods
Zayden: drinks?
Indigo: Better than salads!
Talwin: A simple toast would not be out of the question
Indigo: grins
Raelynn: I don't understand you people.
Talwin: Smiles
Daphene: shrugs
Daphene: There's never a good time of day to grieve
Zayden: did somebody say drinks?
Talwin: The best thing is that you don't have too, but we always have your back
Daphene: Maybe some nice music
Talwin: Grind
Raelynn: Oh! We could add a little sparkling wine to fruit juice! That's a good breakfast drink.
Zayden: hey wel all grieve in our own manner, and our manner is to drink
Talwin: Even Bixi
Talwin: Grins
Lanek: hail with the ale, let's do it
Daphene: Oooh, Rae, that sounds so good!
Zayden: I'll take one!
Talwin: Me too
Indigo: grins
Raelynn: I could never drink beer or straight liquor so early in the morning, but a bit of sparkling wine and juice? Always good.
Talwin: I think a certain Viking would approve
Bixi Fizzlebang: grumbles
Talwin: Raises his Glass in a Toast
Talwin: To Reven!
Zayden: it's five o'clock somewhere...
Zayden feels a little dirty
Raelynn: To Reven! And Talwin!
Talwin: May he live in happiness ever more!
Lanek: to Reven!
Talwin: Blushes
Zayden: to Reven!
Talwin: With His Family, and the Eternal Battle!
Youtargim: Toasts
Bixi Fizzlebang: To the glittery sword!
Indigo: raises his glass and cheers
Zayden: He was a passionate lad!
Talwin: Quietly. “I'll miss you friend”
Daphene: To Reven!
Craigh: raps the rim of his cup against the edge of the table and takes a drink.
Talwin: Despite himself, rests his hand on a missing pommel
Zayden: Never Reven!
Raelynn: mutters, “And to Talwin gaining some sanity back!”
Talwin: before catching himself, turning it into a waving gesture
Bixi Fizzlebang: snorts
Bixi Fizzlebang: Don't count those chickens yet, Rae
Zayden: smooth
Talwin: Careful Raelynn, No one accused me of being perfectly sane before the sword
Raelynn: laughs
Lanek: glugs the ale
Raelynn: Guess we'll find out?
Talwin: Without him distracting me, I might start thinking of revenge pranks
Zayden: before the sword, feels like a lifetime ago
Raelynn: Will it involve glitter? I do need to get some more for lotions.
Talwin: I would agree Zayden
Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden, did we know you before the sword?
Talwin: Would you honor us with a song in his name? We don't have to right now, but it would be worthy of a true legend
Zayden: I think it may have been around the same time
Raelynn: We met him at the same place!
Craigh: We found them both in the same place.
Bixi Fizzlebang: I know Daph hasn't known Talwin before the sword
Raelynn: But he was also a prisoner so I'm sure it all felt like a lifetime ago.
Zayden: oh right! you came for the sword, you just happened upon me, now I remember. Ha!
Craigh: Although to be technical about it, we did find the sword first. But it didn't shrink until later.
Zayden: Who at last whom
Talwin: Nods
Lanek: waves the empty tankard around significantly
Craigh: We just happened on the sword too.
Bixi Fizzlebang: You know, I can't even remember why we went there in the first place
Indigo: To return the elf cloak
Craigh: After the Chain that was tainting the Elven afterlife
Raelynn: For Moonbow.
