BLACK CRATER

[OOC: Mike, that font color borders on illegible.]

Quidam says, "It's at least two days, probably three, traveling overland."

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

ooc: sorry. will use another in the future. Maybe blue or sandy brown.

 

[Tom Cashel]

[OOC: No worries! It reads fine if you highlight it... Mmmmm...sandy brown...]

Weapons

"If one of you weaklings can actually pull that bow, I'll let you borrow it for awhile, otherwise I'm putting it in storage. Same goes for the bastard sword. Weapons were meant to be used, but they're mine, you hear me. Hrmph.

How about we open the portal and send someone or something to scout it out first? Maybe something smaller than me?

With that said, I don't mind going first through the portal, though.

From the treehugger's story, it sounds like if you get shafted somewhere else, you just have to wait a bit and then you can get a return trip."

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

Yes, travelling overland will be tough .. it's three days assuming we ride at full gallop (I'll have to conjure us some horses), some of us fly, and Bear here can run like the wind.

I tell you, though, nothing would beat getting there instantaneously through that portal! I say we go for that... but there's going to be an ambush waiting for us.

Let's talk strategy... but in the meantime, how about Bear and Artemus go hunt us up some dinner? I'm famished, and tired of rations. Oh, and could you gather up a couple up some juicy mice for Wisp? He's been so helpful lately, he deserves something special.

So I'll throw out the first strategy idea: Artemus and Quidam try to scry upon that room and above before we go in there. And please count Mrs. Griffon out of your plans ... she won't leave her nest... unless perhaps Bear agrees to sit on her eggs!

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

By someone smaller than yourself do you mean me?

 

[Van Dyksun]

"Actually, I was thinking of a small bird, short stuff. But you'd do.

I'm all for food, but Quidam's got me nervous about this place. Something about that netherether word he used. Gave me chills. And that's a lot of hair to stand up, you know.

Can the druid do a scry? I thought he already tried that?"

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

"Hey Vanbear, are you sure I can't polymorph you into something else? At least it would allow you to cast some spells from your goddess at somepoint. Anyway, no pressure.. just let me know."

"Yes, we tried scry today .. and failed. Perhaps we can try again tomorrow before we go. "

"Soooo... it tomorrow the big day? We begin our assault on the ruins through gateway 1? Hmmm... Last time, we were woefully unprepared. What can we do to prepare this time? Remember, there's the underground room, than the long ramp that leads up to the ruins. Any thoughts?"

"Meanwhile, I'm getting some sleep. Nighty night."

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

Seems Van has been reincarnated as an ass rather than a bear. You enjoying throwing your weight around? Not even a thank you for saving the kids and dragging your bloated crispy carcass all the way here.

You tall afolk sure have bad manners. Here. :: throws about 10 trail rations on the ground. :: Eat up. If you keep acting like a jerk it will be your slast meal.

 

[Tom Cashel]

"Please do not mistake our disorientation for a lack of gratitude," Quidam says, "We are nothing but thankful for your efforts. Bear too."

[Lucius, the sun has barely set...and you just woke up about four hours ago...just so you know. No dinner?]
