[Lakelands] Six For Adventure

[Ulorian - Agent of Chaos]

Horsom stares in stunned silence at the strange little fey perched in the palm of his hand. Whatever he had expected to come from planting the acorn, it certainly wasn't this. "Wait till Corvo hears about this," he thought.

"A pleasure to meet you," begins Horsom awkwardly, for once at a loss for words. He gathered his jumbled thoughts as quickly as he could. "Apologies for not giving you the time to grow to full size." He cleared his throat nervously. "There is a man-eating beast, a manticore, in the bottom of yonder hollow. We are about to enter combat with it. Legends tell of its poisonous breath.. or gaze.. or stinger.. or is it spikes? In any case, could you remove its poison? Or at least make us impervious to it? And who is the Green Man of the Oaks?"

 

[Raven Crowking]

The little man looked up at Horsom.

Answer or protection, which shall it be?
I can do either, not both, for thee.
Protection I offer can help but four --
Had thou waited longer, I could have done more.​

 

[Ulorian - Agent of Chaos]

"Protection, please," replied Horsom. "Protect us all except the dwarf.. that race's hardiness is legendary, and he'll likely need the help less than the rest of us. My thanks for your assistance."

"Protection, please," replied Horsom. "Protect us all except the dwarf.. that race's hardiness is legendary, and he'll likely need the help less than the rest of us. My thanks for your assistance."

Take my shell and break it thrice
Four quarters make; it must suffice
String each quarter on a thread
And slip the charm o'er each head;
When each piece does grow black
Know thy protection is taken back.
Throw the cap into the wood;
As a charm, it will do no good.​

 

[Ulorian - Agent of Chaos]

Horsom follows the faerie man's instructions, breaking the acorn into 4 quarters. He carefully drills a hole into each section with the point of his dagger and uses thread pulled from his leggings to make create a necklace of sorts. When he's finished, he takes the acorn's cap and throws it into the wood. He thanks the tiny fey once more and hands out the charms.

Kregor waits impatiently as the conversation goes on. Once the acorn is given to him he throws it over his neck. "Are we ready now?"

OOC:
I don't have my 3.0 books any longer. Can somebody look up the duration of Shield Of Faith? I would like Kregor to cast that for the combat, but I don't want it cast too early.

Horsom readies his bow. "I'm ready to move in."
OOC:
Shield of Faith: 1 minute/level

 

[Krug]

Glom nods. "Ready!"

 

[wolfheart]

Dain waits impatiently as Horsom makes the charms.

"If your done playing with your wee friend, I'd like to go down and take care of this beastie now."

 

[Raven Crowking]

OOG: Well, you've got the map. You're on the bit of road, you know where the beast is, and all that remains is letting me know what you are going to do.
