[AU] Stone Bones

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet looks up at Phaern, his eyes gleaming.* "Simply that this could be an amazing adventure! That place...I have never heard of anything like it. It sounds amazing, simply incredible. The stones, the crystal paths, even that giant Serpent! And the caves nearby, they should lead us there...." *Kelthet breaks off, his eyes faraway. "It should be an amazing trek, I think, and worth anything it may cost us. I...we should go. As soon as possible, I think. We will need to be cautious, once we enter, and watch for the traps, and the veins. But I feel we should be up to the task."

Phaern Starspike, Spryte Magister 5

*Phaern replies to Kelthet's enthusiasm, "I agree, this sounds like it will be a wonderful adventure. I can't wait to get right into the thick of things. This is going to be a lot of fun!" It would appear that the Mercy did the trick as Phaern looks like he is back in the land of the living and his joyous self again. *

*Phaern smiles at Darthallys conversation now that he knows the drug works. He knew the Sibeccai would never accept anything like that, though Phaern knows that Darthallys certainly has a lot of fun while drunk out of his mind. In a way he looks up to the glib man, atleast for his ability to hold his liquor and his sword.*

*Phaern takes his book back from Kelthet when it is offered and opens up to the page where he made notes. He crosses out the entries that have already been completed. He then flips to the next page and makes an entry in his journal about the night he has had and the discoveries that Leesea has brought to the table. Any one else reading this entry would find a rather emphatic and probably exagerated description of how much he consumed vs Darthallys and the miraculous wonders of Mercy.*

Wil

"Oh, I have some wonderful news to announce!" she says between mouthfuls of food. "While I was out yesterday, a messanger left a letter at my apartment from my husband. He says that our daughter Hallie just gave birth to her first child - Glynnis. That means I'm finally a grandmother! Oh, surely this is a good omen for starting an adventure. I'll have to try to find a suitable gift while we're out."

"Congratulations, Leesea! There is a glow about you.

Now that we have eaten, it is time to complete this quest."

*Wil saddles his horse and packs his mule. It didn't take long as there wasn't much to re-pack. He waits patiently for the others to lead the way.*

"Yes, it is always a joyous occassion, when new life comes into the world." *Atlas is already packed and ready to go. It is one benefit from being an ox. *

 

[Corinthi]

*Darthallys grins as he rises to his feet.*

"Not sure how I feel about you being a grandmother Leesea. You've always struck me as younger than that. Course, that's probably just a sign that I'm crass enough to judge books by thier covers, eh? Congratulations regardless, I only hope your decendants share some small fraction of the grace with which you were born."

*He flashes a quick wink at the spryte them turns toward the doorway.*

"I agree with the Runethane. It's time to begin this. The sooner we mend the bones, the sooner our dreams will once again be our own. And I'm hoping for good loot along the way. They have gems underground, yes? I've always been fond of Emeralds."

Phaern Starspike, Spryte Magister 5

Phaern flits over to Leesea to offer his congratulations too. "Leesea, I will be compiling a history of our travels. Remind me to make an illustrated copy for you when I am finished, I too would like to give a present to your daughter and her new grandchild. I would love to pass on our adventures to the young of our community." With all of the excitement of learning to fly, Phaern hadnt realised some of the things that he missed out on, like children. He hopes that Leesea wont think him too forward for wanting to give a present to her grandchild too.

With everyone getting packed up, Phaern says with a big grin, "Hey can I hitch a ride with any one? I am light honest. Oh hey did we need to pick up any supplies before we head out. Might be a good idea to make sure we have lots of light and rope and stuff for spelunking."

"I don't mind a hitchiker, after all I am but a beast of burden" *he says laughing while looking at Darthallys.* "Just be ready to fly if there is trouble." He says seriously, to the sprite.

*Darthallys snorts with an equal mix of good humor and derision at Atlas' jest.*

"Paugh! A pack mule has a better disposition, is easier to feed, and smells better. That said, I do already have you, so there's no reason to by a mule. Of course, now that Atlas has co cunningly brought up the topic of carrying capacity, should anyone have bulky items they'd rather not carry, I've some space in my sling. My sling bag is cunningly enchanted to be larger within than without, and it's weight never varies, regardless of how full I stuff it. While I intend to use the bag to hoard my treasures, should I find any, for the time being, I shall shall my space with the rest of you."

"Thanks everyone," Leesea says as she continues to beam. "And Phaern, that offer is simply too much. Let's see how this adventure turns out, first. No sense getting ahead of ourselves.

"I'm ready when everyone else is," she continues. "Like Phaern, I'll probably have to ride double with someone else, but I don't take up much space."

*Kelthet too is packed - he came downstairs with his pack (he hadn't actually unpack any of his few belongings in the first place), but all his gear and clothes are cleaned and well kept today.*

*As everyone begins to make preparations to leave, he stands up.* "We do need some supplies, I think - rope, lanterns, provisions. Anything else we could need?"
