Smashed World, Part II

Durban, Horros, Lorcan
The noble lady frowns upon you, but newertheless her mood soon rises again.
"So tell me, how does one start a fire without tindertwigs?"

Haplo
There's a strange glazed look in Tserof's eyes. The crate is quite heavy for its size.
Leave the beast be, it can't see or hear anything right now. Drag the crate here.
The telepath moves over to one of the walls surrounding you... and then continues straight through it.

"There are many ways, but the simplest is with the flint and steel." Locan pulls his out of his belt pouch. "You may well have encountered this method, so another is through the use of the fire bow. This a simple tool where you take a piece of flexible wood, tie a string from one end to the other, making a bow shape, and loop another piece of wood in at the midpoint of the string. Through a quick sawing motion onto a log, you can easily light dry kindling."
 


Horros grins, "But that method is a pain, and I'd rather make sure I carry a spare flint and steel when I go out. It's much more simpler."
"Actually even simpler would be a wizard who knows a fire cantrip. Did that once, but the wizard became ticked off when it started to become a regular event in the camp, and we had to go back to doing it the hard way." Horros snorts, "Shows you just how important those wizards think they are."

"Some psions can initiate fires with their minds, but I've not learned that trick. Flint and steel serve me well. If I had to make a fire without them, and no tindertwig around, I'd be hard pressed to do it."
 

"Aye, I've encountered that mindset myself, although it was with a priest." Lorcan nods in agreement with Horros. "Decided magical fire was too holy to be used to keep the camp warm. Of course, we changed his mind during that thunderstorm..."

Chendra listens to the three talk, pressing each word to her memory.
"Please, tell me more. I want to hear stories."

Haplo
Haplo has a distressing feeling as he steps through the wall, like had the weight of a full house on his shoulders. Luckily the feeling passes as he gets to the other side.
The space he walks to is a bland room, empty at the moment except for Haplo, the halfling, and the crate.

"I'm happy to continue relating tales of our adventures, but is there anything else you wish to do with the day?" Lorcan asks Chendra. "We could escort you around town if you have any business to attend to. But as I say, I welcome the chance to retell our travels. It's not often any of us get an enthusiastic audience."

Chendra shakes her head vigorously.
"No. I need to go to a few places tomorrow before the wedding, but I've already done everything for today."
