THE DUNGEON: (1) Out of Whistle

What could one describe to compare to the Strawberry's flavor. If Taklinn had ever supped at the table of a King, or perhaps drank Honeyed mead with the Wood Elves, whilst dining on freshly hunted Venison? Nay, not these, nor his Mother's very own Apple Cake, not any of these had ever tasted so Delicious as this tiny little strawberry. Keeping his feet, though leaning against the stones of the pool, the Dwarf amazed at the taste, thinking...'What a Wine one could make from this stuff, or preserves.'

His thoughts occupying him, Taklinn fails to see Kaz's missile, until, looking up, he catches the strawberry square in the face, the small red thing staining his forehead.


Kael, being a bit more cautious, holds from sampling the fruit. though he notices movement from another pond. Something was moving about in there, some fish or frogs perhaps? Whatever it was, it seemed a bit larger than a goldfish..,

Aska, meanwhile moved off to stare in detatched amusement at some statues, these depicting Young Lovers caught in the act, with an enraged Older man racing to overtake them (though a rose-bush lay between he and they).

Takote sat upon a stoner bench, musing over the Sword that he had found, admiring it's brilliant edge, honed to a perfect sharpness unlike any he had ever seen.

Taklinn licks his beard and seeing Kaz heading toward the blackberries charges and tackles him and pins his shoulders to the ground..."funny little one...try this" and gives kaz the noogie of his life. kender then he lets the kender up with a smile, retrieves his hammer and collects some food to be cured and saved for later.

Kael moves closer to the pond--not so close that he's within threat range, but close enough that he can see into it. "There's something in there, friends. It might well be the gardener."
 

Peering into the Pool, Kael is not suprised to see several Calico Fishes, he had heard of these odd carp that people in the East kept back on Earth. Koi, they called them. These <and indeed, there are 3> are large, perhaps 3 feet long, white with orange and light brown patches. Long whiskers make them look like piscean Sages. What does suprise the Elf, however, is when one raises to the surface and adresses him in Dungeontongue Why Hullo, there. Would you be so good as to fetch me a few of those delicious Blackberries over yonder, I am ever so hungry.' The Fish seems to smile up at Kael, and indeed the other two Koi now surface, smiling up at him as well.
 

[OOC: I just can't hold this one back!]
Getting out of Taklinn's grip Kaz sees the Carp and says, I thought they were just shy.. now I se they were being Koi. Kaz wanders over to the pond holding some blackberries. Here. he places his hand underwater and cups the berries so they don't float away.
 

The Koi gobble the blackberries from the water in a vegitarian feeding frenzy.
One Koi then rises to the surface again and says Why thank you, those were quite delicious.'

A second Koi surfaces and says 'Yes, thank yo ever so much. I am Past, and for your Gift, I will advise that you be wary of the Contents of Strange Boxes.'

The third Koi surfaces and says 'I am Future and for your Gift I say unto you Keep to your path, false Roads lead to Doom.'

The first Koi now speaks again ' I am Present. Know your true Purpose, for amongst you are the seeds of Ruin.'

The Koi then submerge again, swimming about like normal fish, not surfacing again.

"I wonder," says Kael, "did it speak just your fortune, or that of all of us? How very... odd."

Kael sits by the bank a minute, looking thoughtful, finally deciding to go ahead and grab some of the berries and eat them. Between bites he says, "Just for the record... did the lot of you have to deal with a Strange Box recently?"
