Tale of the Clueless - Chapter 1: On the Seas of Air [IC Thread]

[sblock=All Characters Below Deck]Derrick pours some more bub for the others and lifts his own to his lips. 'To the Planes - may they give far more wonders in our meaningless lives.'[/sblock]

[sblock=Nalfeshnee]"Pockets... of magma?..."Vor considers the odd statement for a moment and looks back ahead as he ruminates on the matter. His draconic mind touches upon the wellspring of knowledge that is his birthright and immediately the answers come unbidden to his mind.

(Knowledge: the planes +8, taking 10) Some areas of the inner planes contain "pockets", roughly spherical in shape but varying in size, composed entirely of other elements. Magma is an inhospitable paraelemental plane bordering the planes of earth and fire and mixing the molten materials of both. Such elemental pockets may contain creatures that thrive in those environements.

OOC: As you can see, I included a brief description of some basic information I figured a knowledge check of 18 would have supplied at the very least. If you'd prefer I not make such assumptions and instead wait for you to supply me with knowledge check results then let me know. Also, I figure a Knowledge (local) check might be appropriate at this time to determine whether any creatures are known to live in or near these particular magma pockets.[/sblock]

Terrathoin wakes himself at the toast after losing himself in the planar lesson, "Sounds like a toast I can agree with"

 

[Saloric Windrunner]

Raises his mug "And to good companions!"

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Drota raises her ale in toast with the others and then drains several large gulps. Derrick's tales of the strangeness of the planes was both disturbing and fascinating, but far too much for one like her, so far from home. She had just barely scraped the strangeness, that was for certain, and she wasn't ready to embrace it with open arms like some of the others. But at least she knew it was going to get worse before it would get better, there's something to be said for that.

[sblock=Ambrus]OOC: sure, i dont mind you doing that (in this case it saved me looking around for the exact same info!) though ill tell you if you know more or less than what you state

The crewman regards you for a moment, and shakes his head, returning to work[/sblock]

 

[Ambrus]

[sblock=Nalfeshnee]OOC: Just so you know, Vor didn't say out loud the results of his draconic knowledge; if he had it would have appeared within quote marks and would have been colored in silver. As is he was just thinking it.

So, is there any Knowledge (local) information available concerning these particular magma pockets? I can't post that stuff myself. [/sblock]

 

[Eva of Sirrion]

Mir leaves not a drop in her cup. It'll take more than a looming threat of attack from would-be pirates or a struggle against a titanic foe to dampen her spirits. She's wary sure, but she also tries to keep it in perspective.

 

[Nalfeshnee]

[sblock=Below Deck]Derrick grins at Mir and pats her heavily on the back. 'That's the spi - ' he hiccups, and tries to punctuate the word corrctly. '...Spirit! thats the spirit girl!'

'Anything the rest of you looking forward to in the planes?'[/sblock]

[sblock=Vor]I know the guard just looks at you that way anyway (even planar folk arent used to speaking to kobold/dragons that much [/sblock]
