"Hey Crag, looking sharp! I'm not sure about that blue color though. Isn't water bad to have around gearworks, like metal-men? So the color doesn't match! We'll have to see about dying it, hmm?"
Jax cocks his head at Crag, apparently expecting an answer.
ooc: No shopping for me.

Crag chuckles at the kobold's observations.
"I'm no mechanical creation like a golemn, Jax. Water does nothing to us Warforged that doesn't already do to other living beings. While we were created by living beings, we are different from other simple inventions. For instance, we won't simply rust from being out in the rain. We are both metal and fle--well, not flesh persay, but organic anyway. And besides, I happen to like water. I happen to also like the color of my cloak, so I won't be dying it anytime soon. I think it stands out nicely against my rocky chassis. The more I stand out, the more likely they are to target me rather than you."
Crag pats his minuscule friend on the back and then begins checking the rest of his gear in preparation for the next leg of their journey.

[sblock=ooc]I'm not going to be available this coming tuesday, but I'll be right back wednesday.
Also, I had a skill challenge post here.

Meepo cocks his head at the Warforged.
"I think it makes you look dapper. With the addition of a jaunty cap you could be be-titled Crag the something 'r other. But we would need to find the most exquisite hat, something fitting for you. I got a wicked idea."
Meepo rubbed his scaly fingers together, and with a smile, turned to Jax.

"Maybe, from one of those bad-wizard-menk we can get him a hat. At a five finger discount nonetheless."

"Hmm... these names do sound familiar. I've had some exchanges with various arcane practitioners in town, looking for someone who could help me get my powers under control." Dorn wracks his memory, trying to figure out who or where these three people might be.
Dorn remembers hearing their names mentioned before, or at least the first two. They are adventurer's like himself and his allies, and you recall that they are certainly out on a similar quest to yourself right now.
Jax nearly leaps out of his skin when Meepo grasps his tail. "Hey, hands off! I am not a hatchling anymore!" He shakes off Meepo.
As the group starts toward the commons, Jax asks Crag "So why aren't we talking to Ezren? We should get our reward money before we go shopping..."
"You know, I'll admit that I might have been off a bit about the acrobatics thing, but, Crag, your talk of this staff and this Ezran fellow - especially in conjunction with that Caramel guy - has got me a little scared." Meepo slowed, as if a cool wind was upon him. "Not just that, I seem to recall something..."
Meepo remembers one time while he was around the Great Library he happened to overhear someone mention the named Carmorel and that he was working at some new research center opened up in the city, but it wasn't important to you at the time so you don't remember where it was.
Ingot buys a specially prepared block of iron at a magical supply shop. It opens its forearm, removing a small smithing hammer from a compartment inside. Next it unclips the holy symbol embedded on its chest. It finds a hard surface, and begins hammering and folding the, um, ingot into a second layer on the symbol.
As it does so, it thinks about what has been learned so far about the arcane society, and considers where in the Commons might be interesting to such a group.
The discussions about the Commons and the IAC rung a bell to Ingot and he remembers something he saw, or heard he can't recall exactly, about a research center that the IAC had set-up in the Commons. Ingot even managed to recall the location of said center.
After nearly an hour of weaving through this part of the city, you arrive at a nondescript building with a well manicured exterior and a barred gate. A bell sits beside the gate, but you see nobody around, nor any movement from the building.

[sblock=Draconic]"Ah, I like the way you think! And Crag is right: we want him to stand out. Maybe one of the wizards has a bright pink hat we can take?"[/sblock]
Jax eyes the building from a distance, trying to stay in the shadows for the moment. He asks Ingot, "This looks like any other building. Are we sure this is the place?" The warforged seems pretty sure though, so Jax shrugs his shoulders and steps a little closer.
"Well, time to get inside then! I can look for a hole in the fence somewhere. Or maybe there are some sewers! No wizard would expect a kobold popping up in their bathroom."
