The Continuing Tales From The Old Bald One-Eyed Salty Red Dog Tavern!

[Wystan]

Ranti returns to the room, he is still short a cloak right now. He walks to a table, pulls out some spare material (in the team colors) and again begins to make the monkey an outfit.
"So what does the scroll say? and how can we go ahead with Mr. Sherrif, vegetable,Berzerker, Headmaster, Leader, vegetable, Wierd Old Guy, Bill's quest with this few companions? I saw we conscript that fellow at the bar and even deputize the monkey...."
Ranti falls back into his own thoughts.

"JERKWAD?" Gruaamsh says. "Anybody azny idea what a JERKWAD is?"

"Sod this, I'm cutting it open" he says and reaches for his knife.

 

[LogicsFate]

In moments, well, more like a moment, K returns, alone sadly, to the common room, completely dress, to the relief/displeasure of those around , , ,. Hold on, before you gut the thing , What do you mean by Jerkwad?

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Startled by the sudden appearance of K and Richard, the monkey gazes at K's natural assets in obvious appreciation and assumes a slack-jawed drooling look, which almost exactly duplicates that of the dim-witted leader. The monkey is further startled by Berserker Bills sudden but short-lived bout of sentience and his subsequent protruding tongue.

Perched securely on Gruaamsh shoulder ,the tiny monkey waits patiently for the groups solution to the obvious problem of how to open the scroll.

Speaking in a voice that approximates human speech the capuchin begins to repeat the vaguely understandable words "rerk-rod, rerk-rod. rerk-rod"

 

[Lazlow]

"JERKWAD?" Gruaamsh says. "Anybody azny idea what a JERKWAD is?"

"Sod this, I'm cutting it open" he says and reaches for his knife.

As the half-orc wonders aloud as to what a JERKWAD is, the black seal on the scroll spins a quarter-turn clockwise, and he feels the tightened roll of the scroll release a bit, loosening enough to open fully.

Inside is a map that you all recognize: It's Sunderkeg's map of Lizard Spit (well, basically), with a bit more of the environs surrounding it. In the top right-hand corner is a box in which are two arrows side-by-side, one pointing up and one pointing down, and three words: Kält, Heiß, and Rücksetzen.

And that's it.

...Or is it?

Out of the corner of his eye, Gruammsh notices a small, pulsing blue dot. It's smack-dab in the middle of the square denoting where the Tavern would be.

 

[DrZombie]

Chewing violently on his two cigars, Gruaamsh unrolls the map.
"Curse these smart-assed wizards."

 

[Wystan]

Ranti starts to whistle again, the song appears to be 'pop goes the wizard'

 

[DrZombie]

gruaamsh takes berserker bill by the hand, walks him outside the tavern to the other side of the square, and looks were the blue dot is now.

 

[Lazlow]

The big swarthy paladin grabs the big drooling lawman and leads him out of the tavern, past a slumbering donkey tied to a turnip cart, past that quirky statue of Sir Dudley in the middle of the town square, next to the road leading out of the town center.

The blue dot is now on the other side of the town square, next to the road leading out of the town center.

 

[DrZombie]

"Grmpf" say the big burly orc. He moves back to the tavern and looks on the map again, to see if it's not just a 'you are here' spot.

 

[Wystan]

Ranti looks over the orc's shoulder as they walk, he is watching the spot whenever possible.
"Well sir, mr, leader, big dude, Gruaamsh, we should see what those words in the corner do.
Ranti takes a deep breath and ....

Kält

Ranti waits about 3 seconds and....

Heiß

Ranti waits an additional 3 seconds and...

Rücksetzen

(OOC: depending on what those do, he again shouts the one for stop if he can)

 

[Lazlow]

The elven warrior watches the dot on the map - it seems to move as they move.

He then takes a deep breath and yells...

Kält

Then waits about 3 seconds and yells....

Heiß

Then waits an additional 3 seconds and yells...

Rücksetzen

But aside from a ringing in Gruammsh's ears, nothing happens.

 

[DrZombie]

Gruaamsh sticks a finger in his ear and wriggles violently, causing an unpleasant squeeky sound.
"Thanks. Any fears I was getting deaf are now completely solved"

"Anybody knows what Kalt, heis and rucksetzen means?"

OOC : in my tabletop german is used for orcish, but i fear this will not be the case here.(in case you're wondering : german for orcish, french for elvish, and antwerpian dialect for hobbitees)

 

[Wystan]

Ranti frowns...
"Well, that didn't work....Maybe touch one and then the other?"

 

[Lazlow]

OOC : in my tabletop german is used for orcish...

OOC: Uh, yeah, yeah, that sounds good. I figured at least you would know ein bisschen Deutsches.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

From his perch on the half orcs shoulder the monkey cocks his head to one side, studying the scroll. Scurrying along Gruaamsh's arm the capuchin reaches out and touches the top arrow in the box.

 

[Lazlow]

The little monkey's finger touches the top arrow, and the things on the map seem to get a bit smaller, but more detail comes into view all around the edges.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Cackling in glee the monkey deftly reaches out and touches the word Kält and then presses on the down arrow to zoom in on the glowing red dot.

 

[DrZombie]

"Kalt means Cold and HeiB means hot." The Half-orc scratches his head. "Maybe it's like the childs game."

 

[Lazlow]

Cackling in glee the monkey deftly reaches out and touches the word Kält and then presses on the down arrow to zoom in on the glowing BLUE dot.

Touching the word Kält doesn't seem to do anything, but touching the down arrow does indeed zoom in on the dot. The view zooms until it looks like it shows about a ten foot diameter area.
