Malvoisin's War of the Burning Sky - IC Thread

[Rhun]

Xander glances over to where the gnome teases the critter with a basted leg of...something. At Taren's words, the warrior releases the heavy-set man, pushing him away. Marsh's voice is a low growl as he speaks. "There is your beast. Now, get out of my way before I lose my patience."

 

[Shayuri]

A rare smile crosses Aridha's face, momentarily making her look quite a bit prettier than when she wore her habitual scowl...and younger as well.

"She's very cute," says the scout. "I hope you take good care of her."

 

[stonegod]

Coldan sighs at Xander's brusqueness and notes Aridha's brief smile. To the fat man, Coldan holds out his hands conciliatory. "Forgive my companion. It is a troubling night and we all wish to be somewhere else." He looks down at the gnome a moment, thinking for a moment that he needed a drink, then pushed that down.

"Shall we get moving?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, right then. Let's be off."

 

[DEFCON 1]

"Off? Where are yoush going? You're going to missh the Parade of Dreamsh! It'sh the new year! You can't missh it! It'sh going to be aweshome!"

The gnome moves forward... leaving the furry animal behind him to enjoy it's meal... and joins the group in the street.

"You cannot go! You'll missh it! Ash a priesht for Weshtral... I COMMAND you all... you have to shtay for the parade! It'sh going to be fun! I helped with it! Don't make me bring down the wrath of the god of revelry! He'sh not one for fun and gamesh!"

The gnome pauses for a second and reconsiders his thought.

"Okay... well maybe he IS one for fun and gamesh... he IS the god of revelry after all... but you people are not revelizing enough! Sho shtay! Have a drink! It'sh a good day to be drunk, yesh?"

 

[Rhun]

Xander can only roll his eyes at this gnomes antics, and wish that he did, indeed, have a drink. He turns his attention back to Torrent. "Let's keep moving."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Cassandra nods, ignoring the gnome.*

'I hope that gnome goes away. He is drawing far too much attention to us, as if this random heroics was not doing so already. If he keeps following us, it is worth considering that he could be a spy for the Ragesians who only appears drunk. Perhaps we should put him down forcibly, if necessary--a Colour Spray and a nonlethal coup de gras should do it.

(OOC: Sorry--I know he's a PC out of character, but the way he was introduced and especially the way that he draws attention makes Cass have absolutely no reason to want him following them. That seems to be the case for Xan as well.)

 

[Shayuri]

"Fire is raining from the sky," Aridha informs the gnome stoically. "You should find a place to hide, like the rest of the people. You cannot come with us though."

 

[Erekose13]

Feeling much the way the others do, Taren ignores the gnome thinking of him as another obstacle slowing down their escape.

 

[stonegod]

Coldan nods at the the scout's statement. "The streets are not safe for man, beast, or gnome. If you have a place that is still safe, I would recommend you go there. If not, perhaps you can follow us a small ways until you can reach a safehouse, but we all must make our escape from this... night." He eyes Torrent a moment, a questioning look, but makes ready to leave.
