[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3057334, member: 30035"] [b]Caelen writes home again[/b] From: Caelen Siorath Zilargo 10 Lharvion, 998 YK To my family; As I expected, our new employer has sent us out of Sharn. Out of Breland, too. We're headed east in pursuit of a coach containing a stolen item. I can't say more. I gave my word. Our employer gave us an audition before he offered us the job. We had to capture his pet basilisk in his conservatory. It would have been a simple task if my companions always used good tactics. The human strolled off as if he meant to admire the topiary. He and that walking chest of his make more noise than a cavalry troop. Three of them got themselves turned to stone before I knocked the beast unconscious. The gnome did manage to blind it with glittering dust, but it doesn't need to see to direct its petrifying attack. Our employer paid to have them restored to flesh. I don't know what we would have done with an invisible stone gnome otherwise. We rode hard into the gnome country and heard some news of the coach we seek. There's a bridge out ahead so the coach has to take a longer route. We tried to take a shortcut through a forest and hired a local guide. He managed to lead us into an ogre ambush. I think he was distracted by the changeling turning into a pretty girl to persuade him. We likely would have made better time trying to cross where the bridge washed out. We'd already decided to go that way, but the changeling wouldn't give up on the shortcut. Our employer gave us magebred horses to keep as part of our pay, but the half-orc lost his to the ogres. We'll have to double up now. We should have enough gold to buy another horse when we get to a larger town. Our employer's paying us well, but for some reason the human keeps complaining it's not enough, though it's far better than what our last employer paid for our trip to the Mournlands. As always, I continue to glorify the name of Coriandor in battle. Caelen [B][U]Quips & Quotes this session:[/U][/B] [sblock] Zora: "Does this petrification make me look fat?" Hedrin (to Hutch the homunculus - see Artemis's journal entry above): "Tok, damn you, tok!" Zora: "All you do is tok!" Hedrin (tv announcer voice): "12.2 swords are stolen every day." patv: "So I don't know anything about this sword that steals your soul..." Hedrin: "We've seen you dance - you have no soul." patv: "We might have to change our tact." Hedrin: "You have no tact." patv: "We need a magebred pony for some people." DH (our illustrious GM): "There's a child seat on that one." patv: "Should we be flashing the papers around?" Zora: "Ew! He's flashing again!" sniffles: "Caelen goes around grabbing people by the shirt front and demanding 'Have you seen a black coach?'." Hedrin: "No, but I saw this movie about some inner-city kids and a white coach..." patv: groans Devo: "When you say something that bad you can groan." Zora: "When you say [U]something[/U] you can groan." patv: ([I]referring to Xil disguising himself as a pretty girl to charm the guide[/I]) "Like everyone who's charmed that way, you just use them temporarily." DH: ([I]leering[/I]) "So you're being used..." DH[I] draws a map on the mat.[/I] Devo: "It has long eyelashes!" patv: "Those are cilia, silly." DH: "Why don't you play Hutch and have Artemis as his cohort?" Zora: "As his humanculus!" [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
