Dragonlance Classics: Dragons of Despair

[Shalimar]

"Tas, stop that," Tanis grows angrily at the kender. If he keeps this up much longer, someone is going to cut his hands off for theivery. He thinks with a sigh. Raising his hands pacifisticly, with his hands palm up towards them, he slowly approaches.

"The kender doesn't mean any harm, its just in his nature. His name is Tasselhoff Burrfoot, the knight is Sturm Brightblade, the dwarf is Flint, the twins are Caramon and Raistlin, and I am Tanis. We truly don't mean any harm to you." he says indicating each of the companions in turn trying to reassure the tense looking fellow.

"We were attacked by hobgoblins seeking some blue crystal staff." He says trying to explain away the dead hobgoblins, anything to avoid a fight, truth be told, the half-elf hated killing and would avoid it if he could. There was simply no reason to fight here.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Despite Tanis' reprimand, Tasslehoff gets a hand inside the bundle. For a moment he feels something smooth and cool beneath his fingertips, then electricity races up his arms and throws him backwards (18 damage). He falls to the ground and watches the stars come in and out of focus.

In his fall the kender pulled the wrapping free. Lying beside the Plainswoman is a blue crystal staff.

I'm going with the web site. Plainsmen speak Abinisinian like the people of Solace, but can also communicate silently among themselves.

I assumed you left the dead and captive hobgoblins behind, after taking their weapons and gear.

 

[Jemal]

Tas sits up, his hair sticking straight out and his eyes locked on the staff as he coughs. "*Ahahack* *cough, cough* Found the *Weez* staff." He then drops his head back down, laying on the ground dizzily staring at the stars. [size=-3]"that hurt."[/size] He says quietly to nobody in particular.

 

[Jarval]

Goldmoon nods to each of the companions, and is about to speak as Tas electrocutes himself on the crystal staff. She moves over to the kender and kneels beside him.

"Are you well, little one?" She asks, a look of concern on her face. She gently strokes back Tas' hair.

"Riverwind, do not worry. I feel that these are good people."

OOC: "Love the hair.. do you use product?" hehe.. couldn't resist.

 

[ErichDragon]

"So this is what the creatures were after."

To Riverwind and Goldmoon,"Do you know why Hobgoblins and hooded men would be seeking this staff?

 

[Keia]

Raistlin looked on to the events surrounding the discovery of the blue crystal staff with interest, but remained in the background allowing those better able to put the pair at ease.

"Facinating," Raistlin said as Tas was thrown from the staff. Raistlin thought, As I suspected, electrical powers. I think I'll enchant the Staff of Magius with a similar effect . . it seems to work well against kender.

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

"Kender, that be what ya get for poking yer nose where it dont belong" Flint says to the laying Tass, shaking his head "Ye get yer blasted head taken off and anit no one gona care, messing with magic like a wizard or something hmph."

He then looks at the blue staff and shake his head again thinking Just what we need ... more blasted magic

 

[Jemal]

"I'm ok.. That was kinda fun... Can I do it again without as much pain?" Tas smiles up at the pretty lady and gets to his feet, feeling around on top of his head at his hair.
"Hey.. my topknots all funny.."

 

[Sen Udo-Mal]

"I'm ok.. That was kinda fun... Can I do it again without as much pain?" Tas smiles up at the pretty lady...

"BHA like talking to a door-nob" mutters Flint

 

[Darkwolf]

Caramon stands there looking shocked at what happened but no where near as shocked as Tas. "Raist, is that a staff like yours? She doesn't look like a mage."
