Clockwork, Steam & Sorcery - Episode 2

[loxmyth]

I'd like you both to come to Coventry with me if you could. I have to pick up a component for a potion one of the professors is making for me. We shouldn't take too long and well be back for more Pie and Ale in a snap. The Dwarf says his owl hoots at the mention of pie.

Must not mock him... Must notForge thinks. Yes it's going well but I'm thinking of expanding into some more martial venues. After last night I can see the need arising again. He shoots a look at Froud and smiles.

Poe shakes his head when Forge mentions his errand. "I got too much wok to do," he elaborates, punctuating the comment by putting down his tankard. "My pwoject fo' class is quite compwicated... I want to blow the socks off old Bwackett. I want Angstwom himself to be singin' my accolades. I got to get back to wok on it." He hesitates a moment, then reaches for the plate in front of him. "Soon as I finish this pie, that is."

Munching his pie, he comments. "Good luck in those mahtial venues. My cousin Wed is twaining to be in the Woyal guahd some day. Says it's hahd wok, but wewahdin'. If you want he could show you a few pointahs."

Miriah blushes. "I, uh, I don't know. When, um, is it?"

ooc: Whoops, I missed this. Sorry!

Ain's grin never wavers. "My invitation says Starday evening, so that means four days, by my reckoning?" Noticing the indecision on her face, he continues. "You aren't under any pressure to decide now, you know. Just as long as you let me know in a day or so?"

 

[Uriel]

Froud sips his ale, smiling over at Forge, all the while listening to Poe's interesting speech. It was an excersize in restraint not to mock the halfling. He was quite a good fellow, if a little bland. A good lunch companion (and always eager to get the free lunches that Froud offered).

Forge looked over at Forge and asked 'So, how did your day go, friend?'

 

[Seonaid]

Miriah nods and smiles at Ain. "Sure thing, I'll let you know. Now . . . what's on the agenda for the rest of the day?" She looks around the small group.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

'So, how did your day go, friend?'

Forge frowned and related the story that brought him to the Badger. I tell you. The Professors are loosing thier grip on reality. All I wanted was a little inside information about the Mountain and the Killer and now I'm getting ingreediants for a potion for the most obnoxious human... Does he realise I could have baby-sat his father? The nerve. Hey? What are you looking at? He says to the humans sitting in the table next to him. He recognised Buri from his conjuration classes but the roughhouser was a new one to him.

 

[ShortAssassin]

Buri thumbed the page he was on in the book he was reading "Elementalism my dear Watson!" and looked up. He saw one of his fellow students, a dwarf, looking at him expectantly.

"What was that? I'm sorry I missed what you said."

He glanced over at Dorian who sat across the table from him. Seeing no help forthcoming he turned back to the dwarf.

"I don't think we've met. I'm Buri, recently arrived from Marguard... Hey! Aren't you the one who asks those weird questions about the paraelemental plane of dessert in class?"

Buri glanced suggestively at the pie sitting on the table in front of the dwarf and crooked an eyebrow.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

"I don't think we've met. I'm Buri, recently arrived from Marguard... Hey! Aren't you the one who asks those weird questions about the paraelemental plane of dessert in class?"

Forge looks directly at Froud. His eyes have a look of If i had a hammer I'd hammer out the Gnome and he says in reply Yes and No. That was me standing but His Forge points at the Gnome sitting with him Machine that spoke and kept my voice from being heard. Forge shakes his gloved fist and then flicks some pie at Froud accidently hitting Poe instead.

 

[Cepter]

Conversation seems to be happening, and Dorian looks up from his beer to take it in. In his typical fashion, he latches onto one thing and ignores the rest, focusing in with sighted precision on the part that may have some bearing on his own future.

"What's that about the Professors? I've only been here a few days, but none of them seemed particularly crazed to me"

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Forge shakes his head. That's because your new. wait till you et to be here a year

 

[ShortAssassin]

Buri nodded with mock seriousness.

"I see. A machine eh? Tell me master gnome", he said turning to address the gnome, "how were you able to construct a machine that so perfectly mimics the voice of a bellicos dwarf? And that sounds SO passionate about pastries?"

Buri risked a sideways glance at the dwarf, fighting to keep a smile from his face.
