[QUOTE="s@squ@tch, post: 4020234, member: 42885"] The gruff druid gets up from her seat and walks out of the great hall, mumbling something about talking to some animals. [sblock=Morika] You wander around, following one of the larger walkways in the ward, heading generally westward, a large palace (#22 on map), then pass under a giant-sized archway, entering a different ward of the city. A few minutes later, you clear another building and notice that you see no more giant sized walls or archways anymore -- you can see trees not to far off in the distance. Crossing over a canal, you see large tents off to your left (#2 on map). At this point, you are outside of the city proper, walking along a road, with the trees and bushes growing more dense. You are unfamiliar with the flora and fauna of this land, but are able to attract the attention of several small furry creatures, which resemble squirrels, but green, with smooth, scaly skin. They are delighted when you offer them some tidbits of food and begin to chatter loudly. "Food! Food! Food!" Is most often heard from them while you ask them questions about what they have seen. But they are able to convey to you that they see all sizes of humanoids and creatures travelling to and from the city. Rarely do any stop and give them any food. After you realize that the squirrel-like creatures really don't have anything of interest to talk about besides trees and hoarding nuts for the coming dry season, you set out, off of the main road, hoping to run across something a little more intelligent. After walking through the jungle for maybe a half hour, you feel some vibrations underfoot -- something large is walking your way. Moments later, a large hill giant carrying a basket ladened with various greens bursts into view from between two large trees. He nods to you and continues walking -- in the direction of Stormreach. You notice that although he is walking swiftly through the underbrush, he leaves no trail. [/sblock] Meanwhile, back at the Tharashk Greathall: [COLOR=Blue]"If yer looking for churchs and such, I'd head towards the Keep of the Silver Flame (#3 on map). Stormreach ain't exactly a religious city, but all of 'em are grouped together over there. No matter what, they'll have ya covered."[/COLOR] He then turns to Voadam. [COLOR=Blue]"We're not well stocked with books and such about the local beasties -- our main mission down here is to keep the dragonshards moving back to Khorvaire. But we do have some logs and journals from previous expeditions that I can show you, along with give you a good run-down on whats out in the jungle -- and thinking. The person to talk to about magical items and such would be Valexa -- she runs an antiquity shop (#1 on map) just west of the bazaar, but short of the palace. We do a good business by selling any odd relics we find to her -- she seems to know a bit about everything down here." "As for the jungle guides and such -- survival in the jungles and lands of Xen'drik is best accomplished by getting to know the land -- the Traveller's Curse is not just some fairy tale made up to scare mainlanders -- it can get you lost."[/COLOR] [sblock=Voadam] I'm trying to understand a bit more about your background -- so you came to this planet by the act of a higher power in another realm, so you were, or were not an aasimar wizard before you came to Eberron? i.e. did your race and class change? [/sblock] At this point, the lithe Lyrander scion stands up and says,"[COLOR=Yellow]I believe that I will check in with the House," [/COLOR] clearly meaning Lyrandar, [COLOR=Yellow]"And then see what they -- and the denizens of this town have to say about our mission. Since the latter is likely to be rather enjoyable -- at least if one enjoys taverns in port towns -- does anyone wish to accompany me?"[/COLOR] Sanne asks. [COLOR=Orange]OOC: OK, so Morika is in the woods, Voadam is going to sit down with Nardon and go over some local info (Jaxel will stay with Voadam), Yoggrith is going to find the local temple to the Shadow, and Sanne is heading to the Lyrander Enclave. How 'bout Ipshivi and the elf? [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
