OoC:We shall assume that you folks rest, regain spells, gain back 7HP (from the rest), and let taklinn's Booze wear off?

"We have a volunteer!" Kael looks over Taklinn's wounds, attempting to determine what level of spell he should use. "City of clocks, you say? D'you know something of the road ahead of us, then, Taklinn?"

Kael touches the dwarf and starts chanting spells.

OOC: If we're going to stay here a while and regain spells, Kael will dump how many ever spells are necessary into Taklinn and Takote, basically until they say "I feel fine now". Assuming, of course, Takote wishes to be healed. I think I counted him as 6 HP down. Kael, of course, has no idea of that. :)
 

[Imagine that Takote had introduced himself to Kael already. I have it written down that Takote is 13 HP down.]

"If you can recover your healing spells while we rest, then please do so. Otherwise it is alright Kael, I can take the pain until I am in real need of healing."
 

OoC: Aska and Kael dump spells and Heal all to their full HP.
I will reiterate, please post characters in the ROGUES Gallery,as I no longer have them (On my HD, you see)-Thanx.
As well, let me know if any of the magic items are being carried/used by anyone in particular. If Ka has Scry, I have created an actual use for the skill, in Divining Magic abilities of items. Sort of like Attunement from RoleMaster (for those who played it) Argent,let me know if Kaz wants to Scry anything, either here or in email.

IC: After a rest and some much needed healing, the Group seems ready to continue, though it is unclear as to where they might be going.
Walking along the endless bricked corridors, with seemingly random side-passages and turns, the heads of everyone quickly become lost and muddled.
There seems to be some sort of magic at work in the Labyrinth, though whether cast by some agent within or by a Monitor's Design is unsure.
Aska seems least affected, or perhaps she enjoys the feeling of euphoria brought on by the Enchantment...

Throughout the walk, Aska steers the group down certain paths, specific tunnels with a This way I think' , or a No, that is not the correct path, let us try this one...'
until the Tunnels finally deposit you all in, of all places, a large indoor Garden.

Spanning as far as you can see, hedges and tall flowering plants, rose bushes and vined creepers drape themselves about statues, ring small pools and fountains and stand in seemingly random patterns. Colors both muted and brilliantly vivid intertwine in a maddening array of flora amongst the statuary. The place looks a veritable Paradise, as several apple trees can be seen, as well as blackberry bushes and patches of strawberries along one pool...
 

Taklinn's ranger instincts kick in and he immediately steps to the front of the group to look at the garden. "Lemme take a this place" Taklinn looks for tracks, but also looks to see if the treasure trove of food they have just found looks consumable (non poisonous!).

(Fresh from posting his information in the rogues gallery thread) Kaz wanders through the area before them. He is not stupid enough to eat anything because this looks tended. This is someone's Orchard. It's quite beautiful. He stays to the back of the party letting the others have a look as well.
 

"You may be right, friend. Though I'm not sure if it's an orchard. It seems too... idyllic. It may even be a trap of some sort. There are stories where I come from about apples and evil beings, and a place called 'Eden.'

"And I'm not sure I like any place that feels too much like Eden. Just a trap waiting to be sprung."

Kael plants his spear in the ground and leans against it, watching the area around him warily.
 

Jack Lobbins grins from ear to ear, leaping forward and jumpimg a rosebush in a single astounding bound.
'Cor! What a splendid place this be, wot!?! Look at those strawberries! A bloke could eat a thousand en never git sick of em, I bet!' The Atomie moves forward and plucks a strawberry, holding it up in the bright light (this coming from somewhere above, though no 'Sun' seems present here).
Popping the Strawberry int his mouth Jack chews heartily, then his face takes on a shocked expression, which turns to a look of Horror.
Suddenly falling to the ground, Jack starts to convulse and shake...

As you rush forward to your friend, Jack sits up, strawberry juice staining his face.
'THet wuz the most amazin taste Iv'e ever sampled, bar none, and I 'az 'ad Pixie-RHubarb-PIe, mind ye! Cor, what a taste! Ere, try em!' The Atomie tosses a strawberry to Taklinn, who is the closest one to him.
 

Taklinn looks suspiciously at the strawberry...looks at Jack...looks at the berry...back to Jack If he can take it, by Moradin, so can I and takes a bite of the berry with a half of a grin.

"Lets be a bit more...um...less obvious Jack..."
