L2: The Dragon's Maw (Erekose13 judging)

[Verbatim]

Once the gangplank is lowered, Merlis follows the others down from the ship and into the port town. Although smaller than many of the major towns, it had a comfortable feel to it.

~I wonder if they ever do business with our clans?~

Keeping his smaller legs pumping as fast as he can to keep up with the longer strides of his companions, he waited as the ever smiling Valen requested Master Josef's attentions.

OOC: I habe awarded the time xp 2 days early, therefore, don't quit the adventure before Wednesday. I awarded some xp for the game of dragon's hoard. It is based on how much gold was thrown into the sea. By the end of the adventure, 60xp shouldn't matter much.

Aazwen Shadewood - L1 Perfectly Normal Ranger

As the ship was rolling to dock, Aazwen was already riding the deck rail as if on horseback, whooping and hollering for the last few minutes of the voyage. Once the call was out that the ship was officially moored and the plank was deployed, the elf jumped off the railing...mostly. Catching one foot over the rail, he ended up swinging around once below it like a sloth in a tree. Relaxing completely, he dropped to the edge and rolled back onto the deck, somewhat like a sack of potatoes, and rather a lot like the aforementioned sloth.

Eventually, he drew himself up, grabbed the pack and handful of items he'd left at the rail and danced a jig toward the gangway. Once there, he slid over a nice, sturdy-looking crate and hopped inside, complete with pack in his lap and propelled himself like a legless beggar on a wheeled board the rest of the way to the plank's end and then, with a heave that almost lifted him out of the crate, he managed to get it up and over the lip. One more heave and he was sliding down the wooden plank screaming like a little girl, one pack strap held over his eyes and he sped down to the bottom, crashing into a pile of straw matting as he reached the dock. The momentum rolled both himself, his pack and his gecko onto their respective faces.

A moment later he was up as if nothing had happened, his pack secured to his back and his gecko upon his head, licking the salty air from time to time. With an inordinately quick walk, as opposed to a more efficient jog, he managed to catch up to and fall in beside his currently adopted family as they brought themselves to the home of their new employee.

Aazwen watched as Valan did what was needed to alert those inside that the demons had arrived.

OOC[sblock]'Scuse the absence. Lost net access entirely for a couple days, and it was solid crap the day before. Eep![/sblock]

Aaz know more than he lets on. [/sblock]

thinking valan may not have banged on the door hard enough to make himself noteworthy of the inhabitants. kermis swings his powerful fists and gives the door a good solid pounding
just in case the owner wasnt aware that they were there.
seeing this done several times already the barbarian also know he must announce his presence. "KERMIS HERE, OPEN DOOR!!!" he shouts at the door. and turning back smiles helpfully.


ooc- woo hoo xp ... insert / little happy dance for no apparent reason. lol

A Dark Portal Opens.

The door is opened, a nondescript girl says, "Please enter." Then leads them to a parlor convient to the front entrance. The girl then quickly leaves the group.

The room is decorate with little. There are a number of chairs, and the wall decorated only with pictures of flowers.

 

[corcio]

feeling once again extremely uneasy about such luxurious surrounding but determined not to let anyone know about it. kermis feigns disinterest as he examines everything in the room. particularly admiring the chairs. but seeing as how is far away from his know home he will not attempt to take one with him this time. looking around somemore, unless there is something plainly interesting will say "KERMIS HUNGRY."



ooc - is there any food around, i believe kermis is out of pudding by now and would like to eat. if there is food anywhere such as on a table he will gladly hlep himself to some.

A closed door

There is no response to your summons.

OOC: I cannot post again until friday or saturday.

Aazwen Shadewood - L1 Perfectly Normal Ranger

Mostly hopping through the hall and into the reception room, Aazwen drops to his knees and makes his way to the nearest painting before rising to his full height.

One arm crosses to grip the opposite bicep, and the other hand begins to stroke and pinch his chin. He hmm's several times at each bit of artwork as he makes his way entirely around the room. Eventually, he comes full circle back to the first painting, a pair of spiky yellow flowers still bearing a morning's dew. He points to it and says, in a most august voice, "Odd. There's two of this one. I wonder why...hmm..." Clearly having mistaken the last picture for a duplicate of the first, he remains in place, pondering quietly the underlying mystery that must certainly be at play here.
