[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6349339, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN 09 ROAD TRIP SEGMENT 078 “CURIOUSITY” 7/27/14 LHARVION 21, 999 Malachai and Roadie comfort Tom Garvin. (slipped my mind and notes- The gnolls killed his animal companion Bear (R.I.P. Fuzzy). He has now lost two wolves and two bears since coming to Yrlag. Is this a sign to not have one or should he pick a different kind of animal? The first mate has tried to befriend Truth. He talks about anything a mage may have interest in. Truth is polite but wishes just to study his scrolls on the language of the Xoriat. He is also still flaking. A few of his plates are taking on a texture also. This bothers him. He wonders what is causing this- the ashes from the urn? His exposure to arcane energies? Being around draconic Prophecies? Or the regular use of his polymorph ring that allows him to become human to be with lady Silvermane? LHARVION 27, 999 RAF is confronted by a crew member. He readies himself for a battle. A fight is the last thing on the sailor’s mind. “Your markings…. You were a Breland Honor guard?” He asks humbly. “Yes. In Wroat. I guarded the military hero’s burial ground for several years as the war came to an end.” “Thankyou. Thankyou and let me say how proud I am of you. I am Clip Frome. My father and brother are buried there. They died in battle during the war on the Thrane border.” The man holds out a hand and RAF is unsure but raises his hand also. The man does his best to hold it and shake it with authority and feeling. Overcome by feeling and emotions of his laid to rest family, he excuses himself and goes below deck. RAF watches him and looks down at his outreached hand. “Humans are strange” he mutters and returns to watching the distant coast go by. BARRAKAS 3, 999 Smead asks Truth to follow him below where the crew cannot eavesdrop. “Why?” “I wish to tell you a secret about the cargo on this ship.” Smead begins to talk more about the old paranoid woman. “Did you know her husband explored the swamps? Only he wasn’t looking for treasure or ruins. Dang fool was always looking for glowing marks.” That gets Truth’s attention. “Wife was always trying to get him to stop. But he wouldn’t. No sir, he was out there more than home. Rumor has it she got around near the end- if you understand my meaning.” He elbows the warforged with a smile and a wink. Truth is lost on everything said except the part about glowing marks. “How do you know about this?” asks the warforged. “Don’t look at me- It weren’t me!” and the shifter laughs. “As for the intrigue….
