Act 1, Scene 1: "Together in Harmony" (Game Thread)

[Jenara]

"No but I am getting a feeling Elsa might be." Mira comments watching the short woman, "She has that look.." A look she knew all too well, not the look of the Seekers, but the look of one of Mishakal's chosen.

"King Rat Slayer?" She asks the dark skinned warrior, her brow furled ever so slightly.

[Namenlos]

"Ah! So you've heard of me! It is always nice to meet a fan" Replies Yasir, flashing a smile having mistaken the question for a statement.

"Is there some common theme to our ending up here? Or maybe is there somewhere else we can start a search for a way home? Interjects Yasir when he feels there is an opening.

[Nocturno]

"Drink makes everything better! Get this fellow a drink!

Pyros will bound to the bar to fetch the gnome a drink.

[Jenara]

"Heard of you?" Mira raises an eyebrow, "De toute la grande armée justaucorps.." She mumbles in Harmonian (not what she meant to say).

"A link? Apart from me seeing you all in my dream?" Raising her glass she swallows the wine in a single gulp and looks him in the eye.. "I was fighting for my life.. Dracionans.." she shudders.


--------------
Language: [1d100] = 77 fail. Mira says something different to what she intended.

[TristenC]

[Ooc: ok, it's been about 3 days since I posted the intro for Spyguy, so we'll move ahead a bit and he can jump in when he's ready.]

The Gnome shambles forward, leaning heavily on his staff. Several claw marks decorate him, and he has a somewhat hunted look in his eyes... Big cat... bad kitty... wolves at the gates... Elsa leads him to take her chair and helps him sit. Pyros returns from the bar with an ale, the bartender watching the newcomer cautiously and not paying attention to who he is serving.

Guilliam tenatively approaches the table, keeping a sharp eye on the diminutive creature. Leaning close to Mira's ear he speaks quietly in Harmonian, Umm.. pardon, but... is this a friend of yours? What is... he coughs softly, What I mean to say is... umm... is he alright?

I can help you, Elsa says to him. What's your name? He stares into space a long moment before answeing almost mechanically, Cal.

Well Cal, I'm going to touch your head, ok? The Gnome doesn't respond, only continues staring . Glancing at the others first, Elsa takes out a small silver amulet and prays silently. A golden glow appears around her hand, and she touches Cal gently on the top of his head. The glow surrounds him, and two of the smaller scratches disappear. He also begins to look a little more animated. Guilliam watches in wonder, his jaw hanging open.

Elsa looks a bit worried, turning to the Kender Something's wrong... there was a... resistance when I tried to heal him. I felt it before when we faced the wolves, but... A nervous energy creeps into her voice, I thought it was just in my head, you know, because of the danger... but now... I'm sure of it... She shovers a bit, and an almost panick begins to build in those limpid brown eyes.

[Ooc: if anyone other than Mira wants to try to understand the inkeep, roll a detect noise and a language check. Base detect noise for non-rogues is 15% for humans, 25% for gnomes.]
[Elsa heal on Cal [1d8] = 2] Cal is now at 6/9 hps. And is upgraded to Hurt from Hurt Badly

[Nocturno]

Detect Noise [1d100] = 38

Understand [1d100] = 16

"No he isn't, but I am mindful of your customers.." Mira responds with a blush, the last thing she wanted was to embrass him, he had been too kind. "Yasir is it?" She asks the dark skinned warrior, switching to common as she does so. "Could you pick him up and move him upstairs for now? The inn is packed and there are no rooms..."

"Elsa.." She spins around looking for the woman. "I would refrain from doing that, nothing works here like you expect, and it creates unwanted attention." Grabbing her hand she moves her from the common room. "Merrick, could you please watch that Kender? Perhaps you could tell him about the Kender here?" She says with a wink.

[Nocturno]

"There are KENDER here!!! I must meet them! he will burst at the seems at this revelation.

[TristenC]

What? Elsa asks, confused. What do you mean unwan... oh... she trails off with one look at the inkeeper. She follows Mira from the room, whispering I've never seen anyone react like that to a simple cure spell...

Merrick looks a bit uncomfortable at Pyros' enthusiasm, Well... not here exactly. There are a few in Sithicus, my homeland. They're not terribly friendly for the most part... As a matter of fact, you're one of only two I've ever met that was civil enough to have a conversation with... He watches Pyros closely. Where are you from... and how did you come here?

[Nocturno]

"Krynn my good elf. I was following a treasure map. I came upon a camp. They were nice enough to take me in for dinner. A goblin and I had a spirited game of dice.
His face will light up. But will quickly turn dark.

"I had this vivid dream. A dream of my wedding night. My disastrous wedding night. My fair bride murdered in our bed. Pyros will stop talking to wipe his eyes. He will grab the closesr drink and take a gulp. Not caring whose it is.

"When I awoke I was asleep by the lake, but it wasn't the same. There was no sign of the camp, or even the road!"

[Namenlos]

Yasir picks him up and moves him as directed. Returning to the bar once finished to continue listening to the conversation.

[Jenara]

Mira directs Yasir upstairs keeping Hold of Elsas hand at the same time, "I have no idea what happened, and why your spell didn't work.." She says as she pushes the door wide open, "Put him down there." Pointing to her bed she sits down on the edge.

"Let's accept that spells don't work right now, perhaps when we do a little research we can find out." Leaning over the body she watches Elsa.. "Can you bandage his wounds?"

[TristenC]

Pyros, Yasir and Merrick: Common room
[Ooc: another con check for the kender pls ]

Merrick watches Pyros as he relates his tale. Dreams here are sometimes a foretelling... other times they are just nightmares... It sounds like the mists took you while you slept, which could explain the dream... Is your wife back on Krynn?


Mira, Cal and Elsa: Mira's room
On the way up, Elsa grabs her gear when they pass the bar. As they enter, the four can see that a second bed has been situated along the far wall. There isn't a lot of extra room with the furniture and four people, so the warrior drops the still-dazed gnome off on the bed and heads back downstairs to join the other men.

Dropping her equipment just inside the door, Elsa clarifies a bit. Well, ot actually did work, but not as well as it usually does... it worked earlier too, when we were fighting the wolves... she gives a shiver. It was like trying to talk to someone super far away... like the gods... I dunno, weren't even here... I'm actually surprised it worked almost... Her small voixce shook almost tremulously, but then a look of determination settled in. I'm very good with both herbs and bandages, but his wounds won't improve much more without rest. She begins to tend to his wounds, mashing up some herbs with a small mortar and pestile from her bag. She moves with a practical alacrity, and the newcomer is soon seen to.

So, how did you get here? I fell asleep in some tower and woke up with it somewhere else... Pyros said he fell asleep too... what happened to you?

[Nocturno]

[1d20] = 18

"Burp, Excuse me" Pyros will wipe his mouth and eyes.

"Her bones are in Krynn, that is all that is left I am afraid."

[spyguy1503]

"Wolves.... I..." He shakes his head to clear the cobwebs. "Thank you. I... I needed that. Hope those wolves ate that damned cat..." "What was your name again?" He looks at Elsa again, lingering in some... attractive regions. He lets out a whistle, then catches himself and pretends to be confused again, but a wave actually staggers him again. "Wolves...."
