Blasco "The Wolverine"

Blasco walks up to the table of adventures and says, “Perhaps I could provide some assistance with that.” His takes a small pull of mug before offering a small bow. “These creatures, that have destroyed pass, where do they come from and who’s controlling them?"

 

[Jdvn1]

Girble turns abruptly, surprised to see yet another person eager to help. "Well, we don't know that they caused the landslide, despite it's unfortunate positioning. Anyway, we don't know where, exactly, they come from except that it's probably just past the mountains. And, we don't know who, if anyone, is controlling them, as the point of the trip was reconnaissance."

He turns back to the others, "Oh, how rude I am. My name is Girble Dottywell, one of many divine hands of the generous deity Yondalla." He nods his head in greeting. "And, thanks to the graces of Yondalla, my morningstar is a force to be reckoned with."

Blasco "The Wolverine"

"The name is Blasco." Replies the gruff looking Halfling as he takes another pull from his mug. "I must admit, your short set back has peeked my interest. If there are no objections I would very much like to take part in this 'adventure'" Hey says with a whimsical smile.

 

[Shayuri]

Alexandra looks a bit crestfallen at Girble's assessment, but nods stoically.

"Well, I'm sure I could still be of some assistance, if you would have me. Isis makes an excellent scout..."

The tiny dragon looks up at her sharply.

She winces and pats its head. "Well, you do, love. It's not a BAD thing, you know. I'm not saying that that's ALL you can do."

Alex bestows an embarrassed smile on the others, exactly like a parent who's inches away from apologizing on behalf of a wayward child.

 

[Jdvn1]

Girble gives a smile to try to ease Alexandra and the little dragon, "Well, in these sort of trips, any and all skills can come in handy--it's not about what you can do, it's about how you use it." He gestures to himself, "You might see me and think I wasn't much of a sight to behold, but" here, Girble gestures at the group in its entirety, "...when you combine your magical prowess and Kay'nar's arcane tricks with the gifts Yondalla has bestowed upon me, with the martial prowess of companions like Blasco and Bargulg," Girble points at invisible creatures that might be all around them, "... no one would think about messing with us! I'm not a big person, but Yondalla teaches us that we are stronger as a group than we are individually anyway."

Calming himself down a bit, Girble tries to change the subject, taking another sip of his ale. "Anyway, we found some of the fathaches. I don't know a lot about those creatures, but Viktor might want to go get rid of them--we might have to get in a few fights. Isis is little, but if he's anything like me, he's not the sort of little guy you want to mess with anyway. He looks quick..."

 

[Shayuri]

Alexandra coughs into her mug and quickly puts a hand on the little dragon as its head pops up on its neck to full extension and its eyes widen.

"She," the mage quickly corrects. "Isis is a she." She looks at the dragon intently, and it...she...huffs and ruffles her wings before finally letting her head come back down.

Alex gives Girble an apologetic look. "Anyway, I don't like her to fight, though she IS more...uh, just as dangerous as she looks. I have Max to fight for me, and my spells, of course. What I mean is that I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, as it were." She beams. "If you really do need help, I would be honored if you'd consider letting me come along."

 

[Ilium]

Just then, the door opens and Viktor himself walks in. He scans the room quickly and strides over to the table where Girble and the others are seated. "I've spoken to the Lord Mayor,"[/color] he says without preamble through gritted teeth. "He fears the fathachs may attack the town in force." He seems about to say something more, but pauses instead. He then continues, "So if you are willing to have another try, we won't be getting any troops to accompany us, as the Lord Mayor will divert all available militia to the defense of the town."

After getting all this out quickly, he seems to notice the others for the first time. He nods a greeting to Kay'nar. He says to the elf, "I know these folks, of course," indicating Girble and his companions, "but I believe some other introductions are in order."

OOC: I'm back, obviously. Thanks for your patience. More frequent posts on the horizon.

 

[Shayuri]

(Yee! Welcome back!)

Alex hurriedly gets up out of her chair and extends a hand towards Viktor.

"I'm Alexandra, caster of spells and maker of things," she burbles pleasantly...then gets a blank look. "I say...that would look rather nice on a flyer wouldn't it? To advertise my services. One moment...let me see..."

She opens her pack and starts rumaging around in it, sinking into it up to the shoulder and making numerous glassy tinkles, metalling clinks, and wooden conks. Finally she produces a bit of parchment and quill and starts to write...then breaks off and looks guiltily up.

"Uh...perhaps now's not the time. Sorry. Anyway. I was just seeing if these people needed any help from a competent..." she quickly stows the parchment away.."wizard and some of her creations."

 

[Ilium]

Viktor seems momentarily nonplussed by Alex's antics, but replies, "Yes I'm sure we could. I ran into Erethinol and Sirius on my way in and I understand they won't be returning to the mountain." He turns to Girble and says, "And you, sir? Are you willing to assay this thing again, though the creatures certainly know we're coming?"

 

[Fenris2]

Kay'nar says, "Well then, lets finish up any intros and think about the best way to deal with the baddies right?"
