Chat Log List - 2024 10 11 - Dead Dread Pirates - Formatted - Chat
The group decides we’ve had enough of these caves and have learned about as much as we could. So we pack up our loot, the unconscious elf and head back to the boat.
The time is 3:58 PM
The date is See____de, 9th Sin (Late Summer), 587 SGR
Young Moon's phase is Morning Crescent
Old Moon's phase is Last Quarter
Vee Barlett: tempted to poke elf but does not
Inv Zora Polasis: I can't believe I forgot to try this fancy key that was in the schooner box!
Inv Zora Polasis: digs around in her pack for the key
Inv Zora Polasis: Fancy key. Fancy box. Good chance, right?
Vee Barlett: Yar, show us the loot!
Rothuss Carder: Fancy treasure?
Lirtimya: Let's see what's in the box
Inv Zora Polasis: tries the lock of Firebeard's chest with the key with the red stone
CLICK
Inv Zora Polasis: Aha!
Inv Zora Polasis: opens the chest
Lirtimya: That's a promising sound
There is a large Pearl, an ornately carved Pipe made from a whalebone, 50 GP and a ring laying inside
Lirtimya: Looks over Zora's shoulder
Inv Zora Polasis: Another ring!
Inv Zora Polasis: laughs
Inv Zora Polasis: Some nice treasure
Vee Barlett: 'Course it's a ring.
Vee Barlett: And another pipe? Nice.
And Zora can see a magical glow about the lock indicating some sort of trap if attempting to open the chest without the key
Lirtimya: Just a few more and you can have one for every finger on one hand
Inv Zora Polasis: But it doesn't look like clues
Vee Barlett: We gonna have to find a way to identify quite a bit when wes get back.
Inv Zora Polasis: But it will be worth it!
Rothuss Carder: Let me take a look at them, see if any look familiar.
Inv Zora Polasis: We got quite a haul here
Vee Barlett: Yar. Hope one of them rings lets me breath underwater... gotta find one eventually, yeah?
Rothuss Carder: looks at the ring first.
Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Identify Item (general 5%/lvl) [PERCENT:Identify Item (general 5%/lvl)] (vs. Target 25) [FAILURE by 67] [d100 = 92]
Rothuss thinks this is a ring of constricting
Place it on your finger and it cuts down down down until it falls off
Rothuss Carder: Here you go, Vee! For you!
Vee Barlett: Why?
Rothuss Carder: Oh, you want to be a pirate, yes? This way you'll be missing the required number of appendages.
Vee Barlett: rolls eyes
Vee Barlett: Don't be perpetratin' stereotypes.
Vee Barlett: Put it back in the chest then if'n it ain't safe to wear.
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, probably best.
Rothuss Carder: looks at the pipe next.
Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Identify Item (general 5%/lvl) [PERCENT:Identify Item (general 5%/lvl)] (vs. Target 25) [FAILURE by 71] [d100 = 96]
It is a very nice musical pipe, maybe to lure men to their doom?
Rothuss Carder: I don't actually know pipe. It's different than horn.
Rothuss Carder: I'll have to practice and see.
Vee Barlett: Ain't they just things to blow air in?
Rothuss Carder: The skill is in the sound that comes out.
Vee Barlett: Only if ya wanna sound good. Make it magic so nobody cares.
Rothuss Carder: gives it a test tootle.
Ruffus does not come stumbling towards Roth
He does look quizzically at him, trying to figure out if that is music or not
Everyone can hear the ..... sounds.... noise... sure let's call it music
Vee Barlett: Was that music or a fart, Rothuss?
Rothuss Carder: It was a ... learning experience. I'll work on it. Anyone mind if I pocket this?
Vee Barlett: I suppose it's fine. For now.
Vee Barlett: Alrighty crew, back to Mizzen and the Duke?
Inv Zora Polasis: Sounds good to me
Vee Barlett: That all of interest for now?
Vee Barlett: Alright let's go.
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Boating [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 5]
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Cartography [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]
Vee Barlett: So whatcha think about all that cave stuff, Zora?
Inv Zora Polasis: I'm not sure
Inv Zora Polasis: I can't wait to get Glimber and this elf person to the church so we can see what they were doing on the island
Vee Barlett: The islands hold secrets but it still be weird.
Vee Barlett: Yar that might enlighten us more.
Inv Zora Polasis: Potentially we have three groups operating there?
Vee Barlett: Old Firebeard, the gnomes, and the mage?
Inv Zora Polasis: Gnomes at the side with their tombs. Pirates in the middle and that mage on the right end?
Inv Zora Polasis: Oh and the lizardmen outside
Vee Barlett: Do the undead count for five?
Inv Zora Polasis: Lively little island wasn't it?
Inv Zora Polasis: laughs
Vee Barlett: Yar. Not sure a place I'd want for a pirate cave. Maybe need a new role model over Firebeard.
Inv Zora Polasis: I hope so
Vee Barlett: Gotta at least get a better hideout.
Vee Barlett: Maybe less undead. Or creepy mages.
Inv Zora Polasis: That would be a good start
Ruffus DeOrange: It would be a nice start on one, it is already built
Vee Barlett: And a ship. This shiphead cool but this boat slow.
Ruffus DeOrange: If you make a deal with the mage on the lizard man thing
Vee Barlett: Hmm, dunno if it would be. Then someone else knows all yer traps and secrets and ya can't build it like ya want.
Vee Barlett: Oh this one?
Ruffus DeOrange: Also if your crew does not behave turn them into wax is definitely an incentive
Vee Barlett: laughs
Vee Barlett: That'd include you ya know.
Ruffus DeOrange: Warm smiles
Vee Barlett: If ya don't stop not listenin' to me.
Ruffus DeOrange: Don't stop not listening to you
Ruffus DeOrange: Ummmm
Vee Barlett: Yar.
Vee Barlett: Maybe the priest can clear yer head. Ain't sure it better or worse all muddled up.
Temperance: Quite a bit of double negatives there.
Vee Barlett: Double what?
Vee Barlett: What's negative about tellin' him to listen to me?
Inv Zora Polasis: laughs
Temperance: Double negatives. It's... a grammatical...
Temperance: attempts to explain.
Temperance: Never mind.
Vee Barlett: tilts head in confusion
Temperance: Don't and not in the same sentence.
Vee Barlett: Don't not in the same sentence? Or don't not not in the same sentence?
Temperance: They cancel each other out, but it is confusing when it is written.
Temperance: Goes for either.
Inv Zora Polasis: Vee doesn't write so I'm sure it's fine
Vee Barlett: How can words cancel them out? If I say them they already out there.
Ruffus DeOrange: Vee is definitely out there
Vee Barlett: And it be a good thing.
Vee Barlett: So not sure what Tempe gettin' at.
Temperance: Words are simply vessels used to communicate your ideas. They might be out physically, but it is what they mean that matters.
Vee Barlett: Oh! Like yer legal documents?
Vee Barlett: Givin' more reason not to write things down.
Temperance: Perhaps. I'm not sure whether my documents will ever hold any meaning. As much as I try.
Temperance: laughs lightly.
Vee Barlett: They'll hold meanin' as long as I can hold a knife.
Temperance: And you'll always hold a knife.
Vee Barlett: grins
Vee Barlett: Two, preferably.
Temperance: smiles back.
Temperance: Does it really matter whether you hold one or three?
Vee Barlett: Yar. If it a warnin' stab versus a murder stab.
Vee Barlett: Accidentally murderin' when ya just wanna warn can go sideways.
Temperance: Oh dear, not the accidental murders.
Temperance: gives an amused grin.
Ruffus DeOrange: What is the difference in a on purpose Stab versus an on purpose shank?
Vee Barlett: Where ya stab someone.
Vee Barlett: Shank gotta a bit of a twist to it. A stab is a stab.
Ruffus DeOrange: A bit of a dance
Vee Barlett: If I say I'm gonna stab ya, I'm a little annoyed. If I say I'm gonna shank ya, then I mean business.
Temperance: How do you define an effective stab? I always thought it was the force behind it.
Temperance: But then you mention the number of blades...
Temperance: Does more always correlate to more effective? Quantity equating to quality?
Ruffus DeOrange: I just wish for simple mages who do not use daggers
Vee Barlett: opens her mouth to start explaining then stops
Temperance: Not sure mages are ever simple, considering the magical prowess.
Vee Barlett: I just stab how I stab dependin' on the situation. Gonna simplify it to that.
Lirtimya: Would you rather be my dagger holder?
Ruffus DeOrange: I like to think I am the dagger for Vee but I think I need to go look after something for lunch
Vee Barlett: Huh so you can still make smart decisions sometimes.
Vee Barlett: 'Cause yer about to be holdin' two daggers if'n you ain't careful.
Temperance: raises an eyebrow, but chooses not to comment.
Temperance: cautiously approaches Glimber and the elf next to him, careful to give them space and not crowd them.
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 9]
Glimber trusts Temp and lets her get close
It seems that they might know each other
Temperance: Hello. Just here to look you and your friend over, for injuries.
You have removed most of the spider webs from Hieroman
Temperance: looks them both over, being careful to maintain personal space.
Temperance: I'm pretty sure my spell I cast on him was quite a while back...
Vee Barlett: He dead?
Vee Barlett: Or it just didn't do nothin'?
Temperance: No, it did take effect. It usually expires, and when it does it should show signs of the spell expiring.
Temperance: Do these creatures have self-healing properties?
Inv Zora Polasis: Maybe spells or poison works differently on these beings
Rothuss Carder: Elves are magic, right?
Inv Zora Polasis: Supposedly
Vee Barlett: Huh. So we gotta wake him. And hope he talk same language of us.
Temperance: If he is an elf, and if elves are magical... then perhaps it is possible that they can heal themselves.
Vee Barlett: I mean not 'til we get to land, but can't let him die now.
Vee Barlett: Glimber did, yeah? Ain't an elf but you see how spry he was this mornin'?
Temperance: I am thinking of casting on him just in case things go awry, but... perhaps I am worrying too much.
Temperance: Yes, I do remember that he had a bit of spring in his step.
Vee Barlett: Can't hurt, I suppose to cast.
Temperance: faces Glimber again and attempts to explain that she will cast a spell on his elf friend (?) through motions.
Temperance: I am trying to make sure your friend is alright.
Glimber Silvernose - Gnomish : [Translation] Nods, he is very sick, spider sick
Temperance: looks a bit uncertain as she attempts to understand.
Inv Zora Polasis: He's seen you cast on all of us. I'm sure he understands you won't hurt him
Glimber Silvernose: Picks up a bit of the spider silk
Glimber Silvernose - Gnomish : [Translation] Spider sick
Vee Barlett: Something about... potato turnips?
Vee Barlett: Nah that don't seem right...
Inv Zora Polasis: rolls eyes
Lirtimya: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 8]
Lirt knows that there are lots of poisons out there, and lots of venom, things that put fish or people to sleep
Temperance: Something about the spiders, I'm guessing, with the spider silk....
Vee Barlett: Yar but the words he used sounded similar to potatoes and turnips is all.
Inv Zora Polasis: He knows that his friend has been poisoned by the spider I am guessing
Temperance: Alright... as long as he seems to know that I am trying to help.
Temperance: scoots a bit closer to the elf.
Temperance: Excuse me, for encroaching in your space.
Vee Barlett: He's spent two night with us already. Pretty sure he knows now.
Temperance: gently touches the elf's shoulder to cast.
Temperance casts Slow Poison at Hieroman of Glybur
Temperance: attempts to back away slowly and accidentally nudges his shoulder.
He is not waking up
Temperance: Huh...
Temperance: Not roused easily....
Vee Barlett: Well ain't he poisoned? Didn't think he would be.
Vee Barlett: We'll take the bunch to the church to get healed or somethin'
Temperance: Well... there isn't much I can do since I have yet to learn how to heal poison. I suppose I'll have to hope that the slow poison is actually helping.
it is a half day of sailing to get to Mizzen so it will be morning when you get there
presuming you sail over night
Before she sleeps, Temperance casts Orison spells to heal everyone in the group.
The time is 6:58 AM
The date is Fin____de, 10th Sin (Late Summer), 587 SGR
Young Moon's phase is Morning Crescent
Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent
Morning you arrive here at the northern end of the island
and you arrive at Mizzen as healthy as you left, you just went off sailed around taking a nap, getting a tan and came back
Lirtimya: Can someone hand me that bottle? I'll read what it is
Inv Zora Polasis: Sure
Inv Zora Polasis: digs around and hands Lirt the magically labelled bottle
Lirtimya: Does her magic stuff
Lirtimya casts Read Magic
Lirtimya: Oh, you'll enjoy this Tempe, the text here reads “Caution triple healing, do not drink all at once”
Vee Barlett: Woulda been good earlier, but at least we got it fer later.
Lirtimya: Inspects the rest of the bottle for any text and then hands it back over
Inv Zora Polasis: So the mage was telling the truth
Inv Zora Polasis: Maybe we should have trusted him a little more
Rothuss Carder: That would be stupid.
Vee Barlett: We trusted him enough to leave him his book and him.
Temperance: Do not drink all at once, huh... Not sure I trust the label, but if it is healing, then it is good to have.
Inv Zora Polasis: He said it was healing. If I could have been healed that day I might have tried it. It would have been wasted
Vee Barlett: Lots of other islands to explore. We'll need it eventually I'm sure.
Vee Barlett: grins
Lirtimya: You think triple healing helps poison?
Inv Zora Polasis: No
Lirtimya: Gestures towards the elf
Temperance: I... don't think so. I think poison requires a very specific type of healing. Like an antidote.
Inv Zora Polasis: Like a curse
Inv Zora Polasis: nods at Ruffus
Lirtimya: Nods
Temperance: nods in agreement.
Ruffus DeOrange: Nods along with everyone
Lirtimya: You know more about it than I do
Temperance: Though I'm not sure the curse impact him much in the first place....
Temperance: Unless the contents of the bottle is specifically designed to heal poison, then I'm not sure it will do much.
Temperance: Still, good to have.
Lirtimya: very, those healing potions are good, and this is 3 times as strong and contains a lot more
Temperance: As Vee said, I'm sure we will encounter some situational pinch. I simply hope it does not bite us back because we trusted the words of a questionable mage... and his labels.
Inv Zora Polasis: It was labeled for a hermit mage. he wasn't expecting anyone coming in and stealing it
Rothuss Carder: I mean, doesn't everyone plan for that?
Lirtimya: Probably not when you're that secluded
Inv Zora Polasis: If Vee wants to stab me. She can and then I'll taste it
Vee Barlett: laughs
Lirtimya: More likely to be Rothuss, then you
Temperance: Perhaps I should've waited a beat to heal you all...
Temperance: smiles lightly.
Inv Zora Polasis: I'll come in second in the stabbing line
Inv Zora Polasis: That's fine
Inv Zora Polasis: smiles
Vee Barlett: laughs again
Temperance: My, what an honor.
Temperance: laughs lightly.
Temperance: To be second in line for a stabbing.
Rothuss Carder: It wears off eventually.
Temperance: I'm sure it does, what with all the blood to clean afterwards.
Temperance: looks amused.
Vee Barlett: Like I said, there be stabbin' to kill then stabbin' just 'cause I'm annoyed. Different things.
Temperance: What was that someone said a long time ago? Stab to bleed clean...?
Temperance: I still don't know what bleeding clean means.
Vee Barlett: Pilon, gods rest his soul.
Vee Barlett: It mean they don't get blood on me 'cause Dad would get mad when I ruined my good clothes.
Temperance: Huh. Duly noted.
So the group sails into the harbor
There is a minor celebration going on it seems
Rothuss Carder: throws confetti
It is late morning
you dock,
Temperance: looks at the pieces of glitter and wonders where he pulled that out from.
head up through the market to the square in front of the duke's house
At the side there is a platform with two young men hanging from it
Rothuss Carder: Anyone we know?
Inv Zora Polasis: OHHHHHH
Inv Zora Polasis: That is awful
Vee Barlett: What?
Rothuss Carder: I didn't say anything.
Vee Barlett: Nothin' worthwhile like usual. Got it.
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 15]
Vee Barlett: squints but the sun is in her eyes
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 17]
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 5]
Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 8]
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Sage Knowledge, Island Kingdoms [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 3]
To Vee and Zora's experienced eyes the two bodies are young men, the look of sailors, rough cut, perhaps pirates or at least they look like they could be
Vee Barlett: frowns but says nothing
Inv Zora Polasis: moves through the crowd a bit to see what's happening
Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Information Gathering [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]
Zora overhears “Can you believe it they caught the fake Firebeard, like they could get away with something like that”
Inv Zora Polasis: sighs and goes back to the group
Temperance: raises an eyebrow inquisitively.
Inv Zora Polasis: The Duke thinks he caught the fake Firebeards
Vee Barlett: Yar most these executions usually be a sham.
Temperance: A display then... to calm the masses?
Inv Zora Polasis: I suppose they could be. We didn't find him. But I'm not a fan of celebrating executions
Vee Barlett: Public perception often matters more.
Temperance: furrows her brows.
Lirtimya: Anything to keep the people happy I guess
Temperance: I'm not too sure why there is a celebration about death. I always held the assumption it was taboo.
Inv Zora Polasis: Ruffus, I guess you really aren't dead now
Ruffus DeOrange: I am very happy about that
Vee Barlett: Not taboo if'n they think they criminals.
Temperance: There's something very Deus Ex Machina about this.
Inv Zora Polasis: Huh?
Inv Zora Polasis: What language is that?
Temperance: Fateful coincidence that somehow solves the issues at hand.
Rothuss Carder: Works great until it happens again.
Vee Barlett: You and yer fancy words.
Lirtimya: It's fancy person speak
Temperance: It's all coming together much too easily for it to sit comfortably.
Vee Barlett: If it means people's lives go back to normal quicker they ain't gonna question it.
Inv Zora Polasis: We should probably push through and speak to the Duke
Lirtimya: Agreed
Vee Barlett: nods and pushes along
Temperance: nods and attempts to move along with the group.
Inv Zora Polasis: He had better hope the glowing footprints stop showing up
Temperance: It's what started all of this in the first place...
As you approach the gates
Antone Wilbanks: Halt who goes... Oh it is you again Ruffus, did you find your mythical fortune this time?
Ruffus DeOrange: Wait I told you I was not dead
Ruffus DeOrange: Gestures to the gallows, Now you believe me?
Antone Wilbanks: Are you asking to join them?
Ruffus DeOrange: Pauses
Ruffus DeOrange: No
Ruffus DeOrange: We want to talk to the Duke
Ruffus DeOrange: Looks at his friends
Ruffus DeOrange: We are here for him
Vee Barlett: Yar we found his Admiral.
Antone Wilbanks: Oh that is impressive
Antone Wilbanks: Please come in
Vee Barlett: comes in
He escorts you to the sitting chambers off to the side of the great hall you were in before
it is a bit tight with all of you crowded in there
But the Duke enters from his door and sits at the table
Duke of Mizzen: Welcome back my brave adventurers
Duke of Mizzen: I was beginning to wonder if you would return
Rothuss Carder: smirks.
Duke of Mizzen: So tell me what did you discover?
Vee Barlett: Well... we found yer admiral. Or what is left of him.
Vee Barlett: Er, sorry. Sir. Duke
Duke of Mizzen: Sir is suitable
Rothuss Carder: Very tactful.
Duke of Mizzen: and if you found him tell me where you left him?
Vee Barlett: We brought parts of him back to, er, verify it him. But rest of him in a cave on Jilanth by a big vat of wax.
Duke of Mizzen: A vat of wax? why?
Vee Barlett: Some wacky mage experiment gone wrong. Guessin' the admiral got cursed by the mummy of old Firebeard, wandered into the mage's lair, and well, I ain't sure about the wax magic but admiral didn't survive it, sir.
Vee Barlett: Zora or Lirt maybe can explain it better.
Duke of Mizzen: Mummy of Firebeard?
Vee Barlett: Yar.
Duke of Mizzen: Does that mean he is not dead? or he is Undead?
Inv Zora Polasis: There was a mummy who killed the real Firebeard. She also cursed the Admiral
Vee Barlett: She cast a curse on Ruffus, probably on yer priest, and removed the memories of yer admiral.
Duke of Mizzen: Ahhh
Vee Barlett: Nah, only found the mummy, sir. And she dead now. Er, re-dead?
Duke of Mizzen: That is good to know
Lirtimya: Experimental magic with wax golems, he was most likely cursed by a mummy we killed, then was used for an experiment to turn living creatures into wax golems to be servants
Duke of Mizzen: Well I am glad you eliminated the threat to Mizzen
Duke of Mizzen: You saw we found two of the group that was pretending to be Firebeard
Inv Zora Polasis: Did they confess?
Duke of Mizzen: caught them red handed, or green footed as it were
Vee Barlett: How they make them glow?
Duke of Mizzen: Some substance they smeared over their feet
Vee Barlett: Interestin'
Vee Barlett: They say why they did it?
Duke of Mizzen: Some story about being the true heirs of Firebeard and that they were building a pirate navy
Vee Barlett: Firebeard had heirs?
Duke of Mizzen: That is what they claimed in the bar before the guards caught them
Inv Zora Polasis: Not any more apparently
Vee Barlett: almost laughs but barely stops herself
Vee Barlett: covers it with a nod
Inv Zora Polasis: Seems to be a nice story as a recruiting tool
Duke of Mizzen: It is too bad they did not give up their lair,
Duke of Mizzen: where Firebeard lived
Temperance: quietly scribbles notes at the back as she listens in on the conversation.
Inv Zora Polasis: Perhaps they were working out of the caves we were in
Vee Barlett: You thinkin' so? That cave was pretty abandoned
Duke of Mizzen: That might be true
Inv Zora Polasis: We found what appeared to be Firebeard's office
Inv Zora Polasis: The mummy was using it
Duke of Mizzen: Did you find anything of interest there?
Duke of Mizzen: Ahhh
Vee Barlett: Hmm, true but she were trapped by the rock slide.
Inv Zora Polasis: But we found logs and journals
Vee Barlett: Lizardmen and giant... lizards? With horns?
Duke of Mizzen: Those will be good to have thank you for recovering those
Inv Zora Polasis: keeps silent about the treasure map
Vee Barlett: Yar didn't find much else of interest beyond those. Just bones and dust.
Vee Barlett: also doesn't mention any of the loot
Vee Barlett: Yar. We also got two potential witnesses 'except we ain't speak gnome and we can't wake the probable elf.
Duke of Mizzen: you said you had two more collaborators?
Duke of Mizzen: We can hang them tomorrow
Vee Barlett: No sir.
Duke of Mizzen: to celebrate your cleaning up the loose ends
Vee Barlett: They ain't collaborators.
Vee Barlett: They helped us.
Inv Zora Polasis: I think they were more explorers
Duke of Mizzen: Well then
Vee Barlett: But need some medical assistance for the one and curse breakin' for this one.
Duke of Mizzen: Where are these explorers?
Vee Barlett: points thumb towards Ruffus
Duke of Mizzen: He is cursed you say?
Duke of Mizzen: I thought he was dead?
Vee Barlett: Alive but cursed.
Vee Barlett: And normally ain't feel guilty leavin' it that way but he was kinda sort actually useful.
Duke of Mizzen: That is a surprise
Duke of Mizzen: Please do not tell my wife
Vee Barlett: Yer tellin' me, sir.
Duke of Mizzen: Well thank you very much for solving this for us
Vee Barlett: So guessin' we need to talk to the church unless ya got a healer here that can help us? Betcha the admiral's priest cursed as well by the same mummy.
Duke of Mizzen: Did you find the dragon?
Inv Zora Polasis: No
Vee Barlett: Yar. It made of wax so we, er, killed it? I guess? Dismantled it?
Duke of Mizzen: Those two pirates had one of our ships, the other two are still missing
Vee Barlett: Wait dragon or wyvern?
Inv Zora Polasis: We found a wax wyvern but it could not fly
Duke of Mizzen: Is there a difference between a Wyvern and a Dragon?
Inv Zora Polasis: So it couldn't have been the thing the priest saw flying around the ships
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Inv Zora Polasis: The wax wyvern was in a cave guarding the mage's area
Duke of Mizzen: So there are two ships and a dragon missing
Duke of Mizzen: But Firebeard is dead
Inv Zora Polasis: Yes
Inv Zora Polasis: No one we spoke with could explain what happened with the ships
Duke of Mizzen: Sounds a bit incomplete but I suppose life does not give you quick tidy endings sent by god
Inv Zora Polasis: But perhaps when Jereth's curse is removed he can help more with that
Vee Barlett: Not in two days, sir.
Inv Zora Polasis: He is not traumatized. He is afflicted. I believe anyway
Duke of Mizzen: Three days
Duke of Mizzen: Are you sure you are not cursed?
Vee Barlett: Easy to lose track of time in a cave.
Duke of Mizzen: I imagine so
Duke of Mizzen: That as it may
Duke of Mizzen: I will have Ruffus meet with our priests who will try to cure him
Duke of Mizzen: Is there anything else you have to say?
Duke of Mizzen: I am sure you want to go try to help your friends that you found
Inv Zora Polasis: Yes please
Vee Barlett: Yar that'd be nice.
Temperance: gently puts away her notebook and quill.
Inv Zora Polasis: Ruffus? Thanks for the help back there. You exceeded my expectations
Ruffus DeOrange: Happy To
Inv Zora Polasis: smiles
Inv Zora Polasis: Hope you feel that way after your cure
Vee Barlett: Yar be interestin' fer sure.
Temperance: A strange curse that messes with the recesses of the mind... 'tis interesting.
Ruffus DeOrange: Reaches over and grabs Vee for a kiss
Inv Zora Polasis: bows to the Duke
Rothuss Carder: Way too much of that going around for my taste.
Vee Barlett: allows it
Ruffus DeOrange: Then heads to the back of the rooms towards the priests quarters
Temperance: Indeed. I certainly wouldn't want to be afflicted. It would be like grasping at water and expecting it not to flow right through.
Antone Wilbanks: Escorting the group back to the main hall
Temperance: Still, it is interesting in the way it affects the mind in that way.
Antone Wilbanks: Was there anything else? Will you be staying on Mizzen?
Vee Barlett: Yar, where can we find a good healer fer our friends?
Vee Barlett: Them without connections to a Duke?
Antone Wilbanks: There is a small church down the beach
Antone Wilbanks: If you tell them that Antone sent you they will be generous in their help
Vee Barlett: Thank ya.
Vee Barlett: And if'n we decide to stay a night here?
Antone Wilbanks: I cannot provide here at the Residence
Vee Barlett: Yar but a good recommendation?
Antone Wilbanks: Certainly, Points to an Inn on the other side of the square (you stayed there before)
Vee Barlett: sighs
Vee Barlett: Yar, figured that out too... alright, thank ya fer yer help.
Antone Wilbanks: If you are in need come ask, I am certain the Duke is pleased with your assistance
So the 5 of you head to the boat, then the 7 of you head down to the church
Serafina Cassell: Warm afternoon to you my friends
Temperance: Good afternoon, ma'am.
Temperance: smiles lightly.
Inv Zora Polasis: Good day to you
Serafina Cassell: Temperance, how are you doing today/
Serafina Cassell: What brings you back here?
Rothuss Carder: wanders around looking at the decorations.
Temperance: Life is... adventurous these days. We've ventured into some caves and found some in need of assistance.
Serafina Cassell: What struggles did you overcome?
Temperance: Too many to count, with what the terrain and darkness of the caves and interesting creatures that resided there.
Temperance: Would it be alright if we could get someone to help our... er... adventurer friend?
Temperance: gestures to the elf.
Serafina Cassell: I see you have a dark staff there, that twisted hand, it seems a dangerous thing
Rothuss Carder: Do you know anything about it?
Temperance: Yes, we... came into contact with a mage there. One of his golems was holding this staff.
Serafina Cassell: Are you seeking to destroy it
Lirtimya: Could you tell us what it does?
Serafina Cassell: I would need to test, to look it over, but that would not be a comfortable thing
Vee Barlett: We seekin' help fer our friends.
Vee Barlett: Not worried about the staff right now. More worried about this one dyin' 'cause he ain't woken yet.
Serafina Cassell: Looks over the elf
Serafina Cassell: This is a deep sleep
Vee Barlett: So how we wake 'em? A kiss? A punch to the throat? Or...?
Serafina Cassell: These look like puncture wounds?
Temperance: We rescued him from some menacing spiders.
Vee Barlett: Yar he got wrapped up in webs of a giant spider, probably bit him.
Serafina Cassell: So a slowing poison, to put them in stasis until it is time to feed
Serafina Cassell: That is curable
Vee Barlett: gives tentative thumbs up to Glimber
Temperance: That is relieving to hear.
Serafina Cassell: I can cast a Hold Poison on him
Serafina Cassell: But that will only work to keep the poison at bay, then it goes into effect again
Inv Zora Polasis: You don't happen to know anyone who speaks gnomish?
Serafina Cassell: Gnomish? Is that a thing?
Serafina Cassell: Oh you are a little man
Serafina Cassell: I thought you were a child
Vee Barlett: I'm sure them gnomes call it somethin' else but... easiest way to describe it.
Vee Barlett: Kinda like how aquatic called... well anyways so how we cure him?
Temperance: Is there any way we can get an antidote of some sort?
Serafina Cassell: Cure him of being a gnome?
Vee Barlett: Cure the elf of bein' poisoned.
Temperance: Rid the elf of the spider venom.
Vee Barlett: I hear blood lettin' can help but not sure.
Serafina Cassell: We can do that, it will take time for the ceremony but Temperance can help with that
Temperance: I will do what I am able.
Serafina Cassell: For your gnome what did you want me to help with?
Inv Zora Polasis: We need to speak with him
Vee Barlett: Talkin' to him.
Serafina Cassell: I do not know how to do that
Vee Barlett: How long the ceremony gonna take?
Serafina Cassell: Tomorrow morning
Vee Barlett: Maybe we can find a worldly sailor who can speak to him in the meantime...
Serafina Cassell: There are spells that can do that, but they are not part of my training
Inv Zora Polasis: Is there another church here?
Serafina Cassell: Perhaps if you venture to Borinquen they can help you there
Serafina Cassell: It is not always safe on the big island
Serafina Cassell: They are different there
Serafina Cassell: But I can try to help you find help
Vee Barlett: Nah just focus on the elf first.
Temperance: What does the ceremony involve?
Serafina Cassell: We will cleanse the body, pray over it and then cure him with the grace of our gods in the morning
Temperance: Hm... alright. I suppose that's doable.
Serafina Cassell: If we are strong in our faith it is inevitable
Temperance: smiles lightly.
Temperance: Indeed. Faith leads us to achieve beyond the bounds at times.
Vee Barlett: Well while y'all do that I suppose I'll go hang around the docks.
Temperance: smiles lightly.
Vee Barlett: Bet there a sailor or two there that speak another language and if'n I'm lucky, gnomish....
Temperance: Enjoy your time. I'm sure the sea has missed you.
Temperance: And that too.
Vee Barlett: grins
Vee Barlett: I do need a bath.
Rothuss Carder: I'll check around and see if I can find anyone that might be able to speak gnome.
Rothuss Carder: I'll be back later.
Temperance: Have fun!
Vee Barlett: Don't rush back. Ain't gonna miss ya.
Vee Barlett: goes to the docks to find someone who might speak gnomish.
Inv Zora Polasis: I'll stay with Glimber while the priests prepare
Rothuss Carder: You've missed me every time so far. Don't worry, eventually you'll successfully stab me.
Rothuss Carder: heads to Bards College.
Vee Barlett: has already left and cannot hear him.
Temperance: I suppose I'll stay here with the elf, see what the Church needs help with.
Lirtimya: I'll just go check out a library while you all do your important things
Temp works with the church learning the ins and outs of higher level magic about poisons, she can see maybe how that could be done, but does not understand yet how to channel that power, not high enough level yet
Temperance: takes notes furiously for future reference.
Vee talks to the dock workers, sailors, etc. and they say that there might be someone who speaks Elf but no one knows Gnome. Occasionally a ship comes by from Seagate that has an Elf or two on it,
Once a ship full of them
But they avoid the big island and too many people
Rothuss does find two people who claim to speak gnome
No way to know until he tries
They are willing to come to the inn that night with Rothuss
The time is 6:58 PM
The date is Fin____de, 10th Sin (Late Summer), 587 SGR
Young Moon's phase is Morning Crescent
Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent
Temp is busy with the spell
Lirt is back from the library
Rothuss has two new friends with him
Vee is staggering a bit from her visit to the docks, a slight limp also
Rothuss Carder: Where's our little friend at? Got a couple folks here to meet him.
Inv Zora Polasis: waves at Rothuss
Inv Zora Polasis: Did you find someone?
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: AHHHH
Rothuss Carder: Zora. These fine folks here might be able to talk with Glimber. We hope.
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: Look at this
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: It is really a Gnome
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: I thought you were joking
Inv Zora Polasis: Wonderful
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: Seriously who has seen a gnome before
Vee Barlett: Shut yer yapper. Some stories be true.
Rothuss Carder: I do that sometimes. But not this time.
Vee Barlett: staggers over.
Rothuss Carder: You have, now.'
Inv Zora Polasis: Say hello to our friend
Ohmbryn Featherbrew - Dwarvish : [Translation] Hello there Mr. gnome
Ohmbryn Featherbrew - Dwarvish : [Translation] How are you?
Inv Zora Polasis: wrinkles her nose
Glimber Silvernose - Gnomish : [Translation] What are you trying to say?
Inv Zora Polasis: That doesn't sound like Glimber
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: That is not gnomish
Vee Barlett: What was it?
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: I was speaking gnomish
Vee Barlett: Are ya sure?
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: That was some.... different thing
Rothuss Carder: Different dialect, maybe?
Rothuss Carder: Any ideas what?
Vee Barlett: Thinkin' that weren't gnomish.
Iefyr Vernillard: I told you not to believe that gypsy
Iefyr Vernillard: Looking at Glimber
Inv Zora Polasis: Gypsy?
Iefyr Vernillard: Excuse me Mr. Gnome
Iefyr Vernillard: He had a fling with a sky pirate
Iefyr Vernillard: He believed everything she said
Vee Barlett: looks at Rothuss now and the crazy people with him
Iefyr Vernillard: She was pretty and pretty smart
Vee Barlett: Thinkin' you a high... er sky pirate....
Iefyr Vernillard: But obviously he let it go to the wrong head
Iefyr Vernillard [Kobold]: [Translation] Hello there?
Glimber Silvernose - Gnomish : [Translation] BRISTLES angry
Inv Zora Polasis: looks at Glimber to see if he looks like he understands any of this
Glimber Silvernose - Gnomish : [Translation] WHAT DID YOU SAY
Vee Barlett: yawns and drinks from a bottle she has with her
Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 4]
Glimber did understand that it seems and it made him angry
Inv Zora Polasis: What did you say?
Inv Zora Polasis: He looks upset
Iefyr Vernillard: I said Hello There
Inv Zora Polasis: I don't think so
Iefyr Vernillard: Well in the underground language
Vee Barlett: That don't usually piss people off....
Rothuss Carder: Hmm.
Iefyr Vernillard - Goblin : [Translation] Hello there?
Inv Zora Polasis: I'm sorry Glimber

He is still angry
Iefyr Vernillard: OK OK
Vee Barlett: trying to listen to the subtleties of the languages
Iefyr Vernillard: So this is good
Iefyr Vernillard: This is like a test
Inv Zora Polasis: Look, we've all had a rough couple of days and you aren't helping
Iefyr Vernillard: I have got this
Inv Zora Polasis: Thank you but you can leave now
Vee Barlett: Want me to punch him, Glimber?
Inv Zora Polasis: You are making him angry and you aren't telling me what you are saying
Vee Barlett: holds up her fist and points it at Iefyr questioningly
Iefyr Vernillard: I am saying Hello there
Inv Zora Polasis: No you aren't
Iefyr Vernillard: I really am
Iefyr Vernillard: at least I know I am in the underground languages
Vee Barlett: Something don't sound right is what I'm hearin'
Inv Zora Polasis: I'm going to punch him if he doesn't leave now
Vee Barlett: Maybe you speakin' language of his enemy.
Iefyr Vernillard [Hobgoblin]: [Translation] Hello ?
Glimber Silvernose - Gnomish : [Translation] You really have no idea what you are doing
Inv Zora Polasis: keeps watching Glimber's reactions
Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 2]
Glimber seems to be less angry about attacking him and more resigned to the idea that he has no idea what he is doing
Rothuss Carder: is just listening to the tones of the languages.
Iefyr Vernillard: This is so hard, like a real test
Inv Zora Polasis: If you aren't going to translate, why don't you just go away?
Rothuss Carder: And who said real life isn't like college?
Inv Zora Polasis: We are not here to educate you
Rothuss Carder: Feeling Vee-ish tonight?
Rothuss Carder: grins
Vee Barlett: pours a shot and hands it to Zora
Inv Zora Polasis: I'm getting there
Iefyr Vernillard: I learned 4 languages, and Ohmbryn knows at least one, well part of one more maybe?
Vee Barlett : [Translation] You any good at it?
Iefyr Vernillard: Ooo that is fishy fishy fish
Inv Zora Polasis: Thank you Vee
Iefyr Vernillard: lots of bubbling
Vee Barlett: raises brow
Inv Zora Polasis: downs the shot
Rothuss Carder: See? Told you they knew languages.
Iefyr Vernillard: I have no idea what you said
Vee Barlett: Yar. So useless.
Iefyr Vernillard: But that is definitely something underwater
Vee Barlett: pours another shot for herself and Zora
Iefyr Vernillard: But you need the bubbles to make it work right
Vee Barlett: Academic type, sure but ain't helpful in real life.
Inv Zora Polasis: points at the glass to see if Glimber wants this one
Iefyr Vernillard: They had some girl with a head in a bucket trying to get just the right tone
Vee Barlett: Nah, they understand it outside water if they want.
Glimber Silvernose: Glimber takes the glass and downs it in one gulp
Inv Zora Polasis: smiles
Rothuss Carder: If I'm understanding you right, not immediately knowing the answer and trying to puzzle it out, is “a complete waste of time”? Rothuss Carder: to Vee and Zora
Inv Zora Polasis: I'm sorry
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: So can we take him back with us to study?
Inv Zora Polasis: No!
Vee Barlett: Go back to the college before I stab ya.
Rothuss Carder: Shut it Vee.
Inv Zora Polasis: They were making him angry and never told us what they were saying
Vee Barlett: You can go with them.
Rothuss Carder: Come on friends. Thanks for trying. Let me buy you each a drink.
Inv Zora Polasis: So no they were not helping
Vee Barlett: And they didn't apologize fer it.
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: This was very interesting
Inv Zora Polasis: They could have been saying anything
Ohmbryn Featherbrew: I wonder how to learn that
Rothuss Carder: I apologize for wasting your time by bringing back.. let me check my notes... more than you did.
Iefyr Vernillard: I kept saying Hello There in as many ways as I could remember
Inv Zora Polasis: Rothuss I appreciate you trying
Inv Zora Polasis: I do
Vee Barlett: waves it away
Rothuss Carder: bows to Zora on the way out.
Iefyr Vernillard: Man that was a hard test, I wish we had more time
Vee Barlett: Well hope that elf can speak 'cause this island too small to find help.
Inv Zora Polasis: You seem to need a bit more study
Inv Zora Polasis: We could take them back to Borinquen and see ...
They follow Rothuss back to the college
They seem to be both sad they failed but happy to try new things
Vee Barlett: Yar we might halfta. If they wanna go. If we can't speak their language then kinda mean to leave them here.
Inv Zora Polasis: looks at Glimber and puts a hand on her heart “I'm sorry”
Vee Barlett: pours another shot for Glimber
Glimber Silvernose: Smiles at Zora
Inv Zora Polasis: smiles
Inv Zora Polasis: Yes I hope that elf being can speak to us all
so in the morning
Ruffus sends Vee a note saying he is not allowed to leave the chapel for 6 more weeks
but he hopes she will visit him often

Hieroman of Glybur: So Glimber is here but no one else?
Lirtimya: Will point Jilanth out on the map, so they can get a general idea on where they are
Vee Barlett: Sorry.
Hieroman of Glybur: And my ship?
Inv Zora Polasis: It's been so hard not to be able to speak with him these past days
Vee Barlett: We didn't see no ship.
Hieroman of Glybur: Days?
Vee Barlett: Four?
Inv Zora Polasis: Since we found Glimber
Vee Barlett: But he was tied up when we’s found him so ain't sure how long you was out.
Inv Zora Polasis: Not sure how long you were there
Hieroman of Glybur: We snuck in the secret river, went upstream to the main mine area
Hieroman of Glybur: and there were ..... skeletons, and things, and then spiders
Vee Barlett: nods
Hieroman of Glybur: and I remember a fight on a walkway
Hieroman of Glybur: There were seven of us
Inv Zora Polasis: Where the one that looked like you had fallen
Vee Barlett: Seven?
Temperance: raises her brows.
Inv Zora Polasis: We found someone else that looked like a magic user in a pool of piranhas
Vee Barlett: I know the one who fell off the bridge.... think Glimber called her Wisteria? Maybe? And we found bones but ain't sure if it were yer party.
Hieroman of Glybur: Glimber was our only gnome, there were two other Elves with me, and three human companions
Hieroman of Glybur: Ahhh that is sad, Wisteria was a good friend
Vee Barlett: Oh... spider think got someone else too...
Vee Barlett: Hmm... well ain't see anyone else alive, sorry 'bout that.

Serafina Cassell: You need refreshing
Serafina Cassell: Stop speaking for now and be at peace
Vee Barlett: Should he top it off with rum? I got some.
Temperance: smiles lightly.
Temperance: All the drinks?
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Serafina Cassell: I think that the rum can wait until after he has eaten
Vee Barlett: Yar. If ya think that best, priestess.
Serafina Cassell: Now give him space and peace
Serafina Cassell: come back in 15 minutes
Serafina Cassell: She shoos everyone out
Vee Barlett: He only get 15 minutes of space and peace? Damn. Not very long...
Vee Barlett: looks down at Glimber, frowns, and looks behind her.
Vee Barlett: Er.... she ain't doin' nothin' fishy is she?
Temperance: Did she need to shoo Glimber out to give him peace and space?
Temperance: Nothing wrong with spending time with a friend...
Vee Barlett: And why she not follow then?
Temperance: I... am not sure.
Vee Barlett: Ain't peaceful stuck with someone from the church.
Vee Barlett: No offense. Well, maybe a little.

Vee Barlett: sits back and quiets down so Rothuss can maybe hear
Temperance: looks on quietly.
Inv Zora Polasis: smiles at Glimber
Inv Zora Polasis: I am so happy you have your friend back
Vee Barlett: raises a brow but lets it drop for now
Rothuss hears nothing
Rothuss Carder: pulls away and shrugs his shoulders.
Rothuss Carder: By the way, we should probably ask the guy in there what language Glimber speaks.
Inv Zora Polasis: nods
Inv Zora Polasis: That would be helpful
Temperance: Indeed.
Rothuss Carder: If it is gnome, then maybe he'll be willing to have a chat with my friends.
Rothuss Carder: Maybe let them know where they went wrong.
Inv Zora Polasis: They will need a plan for what comes next. Perhaps they can stay at the inn with us so they can decide what to do next
Temperance: Friends?
Inv Zora Polasis: Oh Rothuss brought people to try to speak with Glimber last night
Inv Zora Polasis: They didn't know the language though
Vee Barlett: holds her tongue
Inv Zora Polasis: It was hard
Rothuss Carder: Iefyr and Ohmbryn, from the college.
Serafina Cassell: You can come back in now
Temperance: Ah, I see. From the Bard College. I am glad they gave it a shot, at least.
Inv Zora Polasis: Thank you
Vee Barlett: stands to go back in
Rothuss Carder: Yep, it was worth a try.
Temperance: Definitely. Better take chances than not.
Temperance: At least, someone somewhere told me.
Inv Zora Polasis: smiles
Now Hieroman is sitting up in a chair, more awake with a small bowl of fruit and a pitcher of water
Rothuss Carder: chuckles.
Inv Zora Polasis: You look even better
Rothuss Carder: Not everyone agrees, sadly.
Vee Barlett: Huh, guess ya did need a minute. Er, 15 minutes.
Hieroman of Glybur: Thank you
Hieroman of Glybur: Not to be crude but that was a really good piss
Inv Zora Polasis: laughs
Hieroman of Glybur: Feels much better now
Vee Barlett: laughs loudly
Temperance: Glad that you've taken care of the ablutions
Vee Barlett: I thought elves were hoity toity but you alright.
Rothuss Carder: We've all been there.
Hieroman of Glybur: So I did not ask where you are all from
Vee Barlett: Different parts of Borinquen.
Hieroman of Glybur: Ahhh that is where Glimber was hiding
Vee Barlett: On Borinquen?
Lirtimya: Most of us are from there anyways
Hieroman of Glybur: In the mountains on the south
Inv Zora Polasis: Would he like to go back?
Vee Barlett: Oh! We've been up in them mountains before.
Vee Barlett: Think we saw a dwarf up there but ain't recallin' seein' a gnome...
Hieroman of Glybur: So I need to find a way to find a ship
Rothuss Carder: How did you run into him there, when no one who lives there did? That we've heard of, that is.
Vee Barlett: Wes headin' back that way.
Hieroman of Glybur: There was a message sent along in Gnomish asking for help in finding his clan
Hieroman of Glybur: I think it took a year or two to find me
Vee Barlett: That what you speakin' with him?
Hieroman of Glybur: Then I found him and we put together a plan
Hieroman of Glybur: Yes, he does not speak Elven that well, He does but not great, terrible accent
Inv Zora Polasis: So you are an adventurer and you help people who ask just because they ask?
Vee Barlett: laughs
Hieroman of Glybur: It seems to be fun
Vee Barlett: Gets ya seein' them other islands, yeah?
Inv Zora Polasis: That is wonderful of you
Hieroman of Glybur: I was heading north to investigate the Island Kingdoms
Hieroman of Glybur: Those off the coast there, the ancient Manetheo ruins
Hieroman of Glybur: I bet there are things hidden away...
Vee Barlett: The Ancient Manetheo Ruins?
Temperance: perks up from her note-taking at the mention of ruins.
Rothuss Carder: When you're up and about, would you be willing to have a chat with a couple friends of mine from the local college? They tried to talk with Glimber, but guess their idea of Gnomish isn't the same as his. They're very curious about the details.
Hieroman of Glybur: Oh certainly glad to help out
Rothuss Carder: We should probably do it right before we leave though, or you'll be buried by every scholar there asking questions about elves.
Hieroman of Glybur: Yes the Ruins are old even for Elves
Hieroman of Glybur: maybe two thousand years old?
Vee Barlett: So you an elf or like... half of one? Or just into surgery alterations?
Rothuss Carder: Such tact.
Inv Zora Polasis: Vee!
Hieroman of Glybur: Smiles, I am really an Elf
Vee Barlett: What? Blunt and to the point. Unlike his ears. Or like them? Hmm.
Vee Barlett: Fascinatin'
Hieroman of Glybur: I have, well had, a brother who was half elven but he passed away a couple hundred years ago
Vee Barlett: Didn't think elves sailed from the stories I heard.
Temperance: smiles indulgently as she watches the conversation unfold.
Rothuss Carder: Did you think they walked on water?
Inv Zora Polasis: So are you looking for passage on a ship or to get another ship?
Vee Barlett: They keep to them forests.
Hieroman of Glybur: I will find another ship eventually
Hieroman of Glybur: but I think I need to get the lay of the land first
Vee Barlett: I know what else you can get a lay of
Vee Barlett: coughs and nudges Zora
Hieroman of Glybur: You are right my kind tend to stay away from the human islands
Inv Zora Polasis: We're staying at the inn, you can stay with us there if you want
Inv Zora Polasis: frowns at Vee
Vee Barlett: grins and winks
Hieroman of Glybur: I think that would be good
Hieroman of Glybur: I would like to catch up with Glimber first though
Hieroman of Glybur: Hear what he has been doing
Hieroman of Glybur: after the battle
Inv Zora Polasis: Of course. He is staying there with us too
Inv Zora Polasis: That's what I meant
