Lost Homeland

[Aereas]

Nodding to Vita I say "As you wish." Rising from my seat I then add, to no one in particular, "I shall return."

From there I stroll over to the man with the book deciding now would be a good time to talk to him to avoid the chance of missing him in the morning. Sitting down across from him I wait for him to stop reading and glance at me before I politly ask "Would you mind if I took up some of your valuable time to ask you a few questions good sir?"

 

[Charberus]

Says to Vita, "Appears that Freylin is getting some information about this place. Lets go check out that mysterous looking guy with the robe in the corner. Would you come with me in case i do not understand him?"

Vita and I will go and talk to the mysterious figure in black cloak, while Skitter finishes his second beer and starts humming an Ogrun Drinking song, which sounds strange because of the reptilian voice, but Skitter doesn't realize it and just having fun.

OOC: Vita and I will go over to the mysterous cloaked figure, and if the figure doesn't see us coming, then we will go over to it and make our presence known in a polite way.

Freylin approaches the man reading the book. He is tall and seems physically fit. His hair is hidden by a wide-brimmed hat, and his face is covered in light red freckles. He looks up as you approach and stares blankly at your words, unable to comprehend them. The man speaks, but you do not understand them.


At Alth's request, Vita shrugs and follows as he approaches the cloaked figure. The figure does not move as you approach. You politely say hello and Vita speaks to him. The figure's voice is raspy and though you do not understand the language he speaks in, Vita does. "He asks us to leave him alone," she says and proceeds to wait for further instructions.

OOC: So far, I have assumed that when speaking to someone, you are speaking in your native tongue. I realize that this is unlikely to be the case, so if you would mention which of your languages you are speaking in when approaching someone, would be convenient and may help you.

 

[Charberus]

I bow to the stranger, and say in Draconic: "Pardon to have bothered you, Just wanted to chat about this land and hear your stories." As I leave, I say in gnomish: "I thank Vita for her ability to translate his words. Your help is really needed. What languages do you know and what languages do you speak?"

As Vita and I head over to Freylin, I correct Skitter on a phrase, "And another halfling horn in the morn, and so with the keg empty and heads pounding we mourn" in his song in Ogrun. Skitter chuckles and continues pretending to be tired.

OOC: Skitter will be watching my back, and watching other people. Vita and I go up to Freylin and say in Gnome, "It is best if stick together so vita can translate. Apparently neither of us know much about the language spoken here. All I know is Draconic, Inferno, Ongrun, Elvish along with common. What do you know?"

 

[Dog Moon]

After translating, Vita turns to Alth. "These people speak Kaluryn," Vita answers. "So far, it seems to be the most common language here."

 

[Charberus]

Can you teach me how to speak it?

OOC: What time is it? Are we getting tired and need to find apartments, or is there still plenty of time left till we start feeling tired?

 

[Aereas]

Sighing over the dissapointment that language is turning into I take the only course I can. I repeat my question in Farel and then Draconic hoping that one of them will be understood.

If those fail I raise my hands and try to indicate being sorry for intruding. Then noticing Vita and Alth approach I hold a finger up tot he man indicating 'one moment please' and look to Vita saying "I do appoligize for constantly asking you to translate but you seem to be the only means of communication currently available to us. Would you be so kind as to please ask him this question for me:
Do you know much about the surrounding area here and the town at the end of the road?"

If the man indicates that he does I then ask Vita to ask him if he would allow me to cast a spell (comprehend languages) upon him and us to allow us the ability to understand eachother without the need of a translator.

 

[Dog Moon]

"I think it would take too long for me to teach you to speak Kaluryn," Vita tells Alth. "I suppose the best I can do is teach you a few basic words."

The man listens to your question and says in Farel, "I do know a little about this area, though I have mainly stayed in this inn for the pleasurable surroundings. As for what's down the road, I would hardly call it a town," he says with a laugh.

The man pauses for only a moment to glance at Alth and Vita as they approach. "What, precisely, are you interested in?" he askes.

OOC: You have absolutely no idea what time it is, but yes, you are getting tired, which is why you decided to stop here in the first place, though you may have anyway for information.

 

[Aereas]

Ignoring Alth's question about languages I continue to speak in Farel, happy to not have to resort to anyone else for translation, and say "This is my first time here so really anything you know would be helpful. What I am most intrested in is the environmental hazards of the land and any adverse long term effects it may have on the living. Aside from that I was hoping your could give me an indication of just how far the next town is...or whatever you would prefer to call it."

After he answers those I then ask, unless he already covers it, about the 'town' and why he wouldn't call it one.

 

[Charberus]

In Gnomish, "Hey Vita, can you translate what the guy and tell me what they say in the morning?" Telling Freylin, "Ask this guy if anything strange has happened recently, and also if they have seen a small reptilian creature (other then skitter). Meanwhile, the ale is getting to me and so I am going to depart from this conversation. I shall see you in the morning."

Heading to Skitter and going to get a room, I ask the inn keeper for a room and how much it will cost. pay for it, and then head to room for a good nights sleep.
