Redclaw's Eyes of the Lich Queen

[Redclaw]

Bregan finds that the jungle has been cleared out for several hundred feet from the city walls. From that point, however, there is little transition to the dense, verdant jungle the peninsula is famed for. The trees and other plantlife are vastly different from that covering most of Khorvaire, but he knows enough of such things to feel comfortable identifying those that might be dangerous.

Talas finds a small shop that caters to spellcasters not far from the gates. A wrinkled gnome stands behind a short counter and nods wisely as you enter. Hello, traveler. Welcome to Berlybell's Arcanistry. How can I help you? Basic spell components? Of course, of course. Right this way my boy. How do you come to be without them? He guides you to a small collection of brightly-colored pouches, with a sample version opened, displaying its contents. You can find a pouch of any color leather you want at the standard 5 gp, or you can get one made of a strange scaled hide for an extra 2 gp.

Talas

Talas walks into the shop of the arcane, squinting to better see in the shadows. The myriad of smells around him made him feel more at home. Much better than the stuffy temples that his brother frequented. "Just the standard will be fine. A Khyber-spawn got ahold of my last one, swallowed it whole after I blasted him with lightning. By the time I got it out of him, it was already half eaten by the acid of his stomach. If you had something though that perhaps tasted a little more unpleasant, perhaps those circumstances could be avoided again."

Bregan ventures back into town, heading toward the shop he assumed that Talas went into. Strange lands weren't usually good to split up in, but this place seemed friendly enough even to a Shifter.

 

[Redclaw]

The gnome's eyes bug out a little at Talas' story. I can't really say I've ever tasted my spell component pouches. I've heard somewhere that brightly colored creatures are often poisonous, so why don't you take this orange one? That might work, as long as the creature in question isn't color blind. That'll be five gold, please.

Talas

Talas hands the gnome the gold, and straps the component pouch onto his belt. "You've heard that? I can confirm it for you, there are all manner of creatures that fit that description. I was stung by a bright yellow wasp the size of a horse while in some catacombs a few months ago. I had a red boil as large as a ham from the poison. It wasn't pleasant, but it didn't stay alive long after."

Bregan walks in the shop, overhearing Talas' last statement (ooc: I hope I didn't overstep my bounds here). "Aye, that is right. Usually the brighter creatures that tend to move akwardly are poisonous. Pardon my interuption, good shopkeep, is there a place about here where a druid or ranger may live?

 

[Redclaw]

The gnome turns to the new customer, and then looks disappointed when he realizes he isn't. I don't know of any druids within the walls, my friend. There are some guides available, but I can't vouch for their skills or trustworhiness. You can usually find some in the taverns near the gates, or standing by the trading post.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

"Thank you, but a guide would be rather...... well in my way." Bregan offers the gnome a slight nod, which is more than he would give most creatures outside his race. "I appreciate your service, he tosses the shopkeep a couple of gold, "For the trouble.

 

[Redclaw]

[sblock=onlythestrong] I figure NPC rangers at lower levels are going to be known to their neighbors as guides, rather than having everyone identified around town by their class. If you want to find a ranger, looking for a guide is your best bet. [/sblock]

 

[OnlytheStrong]

ooc: I figured they would be ranger or some type of scout. I was hoping a druid lived here because well...... animals talk I still may go see one of the "guides," I'm still thinking about my next move.


"Before I go, sir, is there anything that you can tell me of this area? About the creatures, legends, or even as little as who is the most notable guide around here."
