Dawnforge: Heroes of Legend (IC Thread)

[Guest 11456]

The group spends about an hour hacking away at the boulder. Sasskasa spends his time in a nearby tree keeping watch over the group. After hacking off some of the boulder and placing it into the hole, Yoseph calls for a rest period. After that you return to the boulder for another hour of mining. Sasskasa has not reported anything from his lookout spot. After the second rest period, Yoseph declares that he believes you have enough ore. He places the picks and shovels into the hole. Then he picks it up, folds it up and places the 'cloth' into his pocket.

"Well! I guess that is it. Sasskasa, please come down from there. We are ready to head for the boat."

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

Knya give back the tools she was using to mine and makes ready to leave after Yoseph menions heading back to the boat.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Kieran wipes the sweat from his brow and follows the others back to the boat, musing on whether or not sky metal would make quality musical instruments and if the cost would outweigh the trouble of acquiring it (not to mention how much trouble he'd have convincing folks not to use it for weapons — why use something so rare for war?).

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

Having already shouldered her gear, Kyna stands looking around wondering how anyone knew this was here in the first place. Did someone know where to look, or did they happen upon it? If its location was know why trust strangers to mine the rare metal...?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Anja sighs a bit and prepares to head back to the ship. The portent of coming here, the strangeness of the wasps... and yet only to mine some stones... there was something vaguely disappointing about this, though Anja couldn't put her finger on it. Maybe it's because I was expecting more adventure. I am young, Anja is not, she would be satisfied with a job well done with few people hurt, Zek admonishes himself silently. Mother Anja's smile reappears on her face, and she whistles a soft tune as they begin to walk.

 

[Ashy]

Sasskasa drops silently and fludily from his perch and nods once, turtly, to Yoseph. "Lead on, sssssailor...", he hisses. Although it is hard to tell, you think that there is a scowl on his nornally sour features...

 

[Guest 11456]

As you gather you all begin to wonder if this is it. Yoseph begins to lead the way back to the boat. But then Karl's owl begins to frantically circle the wizard's head and then lands on his shoulder. Karl asks for everyone to stop. Then he points back toward the sky boulder. "Hear that? A cracking sound." In an instant the sound crescendos into a very loud cracking sound. It is Karl that first spots the cracks in the sky boulder. Then the sky boulder shatters and all that is left is a core. The core is about two feet in diameter. The core begins to unfold itself into the shape of a small creature. As you look on in awe the creature, some sort of reptile from the look of it, quickly grows to many times its original size. It must be eight feet tall. It looks at you with malevolent eyes and bellows a roar.

[Lady Shatterstone]

Kyna drinks the contents of the bottle given to her she. I hope this stuff helps... She stares that the creature before them. She pulls her raiper out standing at ready.

ooc: She doesn't move from her spot.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Anja sees everyone else downing their potions and decides it may be better to save hers. Anja slips over behind the tree to her left and knocks an arrow to her bow as she does so. I know better than to get into the reach of that thing, and Anja would know that many times over, Zek thinks. If I'm clever, perhaps I can drink it right before someone gets it into a position that I can hamstring it from. Err... if it has hamstrings. Raising her bow, she sights in the middle of the creature and lets an arrow fly, the bowstring snapping on the guard on her arm.

OOC: 20' move to the left, drawing bow and arrow as she does so. One attack on the monster.
