Kazareen runs alongside the machine and tries to get a meal. he will throw 5 gold to the gnome.

The Gnome yells out, deftly catching the coins and depositing them into a metal cylinder 'What's it then, Froll or Dember, my good Sir?'
The Gnome seemed to be offering a choice between the two foods in the paper wrappings. After a moment, he grins and tosses one of each at Kaz, who catches them both. Kaz is shocked that the yellow package is so hot as to nearly burn his fingers, while the blue wrapped one is ice cold.

Looking inside, Kaz sees that the yellow package seems to be some meat battered and fried, while the blue package is some form of...of...
Jack Lobbins flies up, a blue package held like a full sac before him'Cor! It's iced-cream, it is, vanilla, I'd wager! I 'ad it once before in another Realm, made by some Giants, if'n ya believe thet.'

Damien after seeing the Silver turns "I am going to the market place to get a bite to eat and try to get some information form someone i just saw." This is directed to anyone paying attention. Damien turns and heads to the market place to find the Silver and get some food. Warily avoiding all the short people around him.

Damien turns and heads to the market place to find the Silver and get some food. Warily avoiding all the short people around him.

Making his way through the crowd, Damien hears the loud and raucious Marketplace growing closer ahead. Finding it easy to catch up to the Silver, who is stopping every so often to look at a piece of pottery here, a food stall there, he comes within a few feet when he hears 'Greetings, Cousin. Is there something that I can help you with, or do you merely seek some breakfast. The Curry in the stall with the red auning is excellent, if a bit Spicy, though I doubt you'd mind.'
The Silver turns to regard Damien, smiling cordially.

"And Greetings to you also cousin, My name is Damien and it was curiosity more than anything that brought me to come talk to you, Though curry does sound good, care to join me? You are only the second of our kind i have seen in the last 5 years. The first was a Red i slew a short while back in one on one combat.
What has brought you to this place, and where do you originally hail from?"

'I am Grangrem Olistarium, thoughmost folk just call me Grang here in Clock City. I would join you for a bite, though you are hardly the only other of our Kind that I have encountered as-of-late, unfortunately...' Grang's tone suggests that those encountered were hardly of a nature or philospphy close to your own. He says nothing of his origin at this point, though, steering you to the Curry-Stall he finds a table and becons for you to sit as well. Calling out to a strange froglike creature in Dungeontongue, Grang orders two bowls of Dember Vindaloo and rice, saying 'Best not to look too close at Dember, but I assure you, it tastes just like chicken.' With a smile, the frogman deposits the bowls of steaming food before you. If Damien had been having any problems with his sinuses before this morn, they were certainly about to clear up, as his eyes began watering over the Curry before him.Spicy indeed...

<Hehehe,Fort Save DC 18, you just made it with a 19...>

Gods, it was hot! Little stars swam before Damien's eyes and he looked about for water or something...startled when something shot out and deposited a full mug of cold tea before him, it was the Frogman's tongue, in fact. 'Me sorry,friend, me late with drink,Vindaloo on the House for friend of Grang, Friend of Grang friend of Hrumblub,too...'. TheFrogman tapped himself, indicating that he was Hrumblub.

A smaller frog creature (a young one, perhaps? It had the look of the bigger one, perhaps a son or daughter...) hopped up and deposited a bowl filled with cool minty sauce and crisp bread, 'Nan' it croaked as it hopped away.

Grang smiled into his cups as Damien got used to the Hot (but delicious) dish, waiting until he had gotten a chance to swallow some of the chilled tea before speaking. 'These others of our Kind that I speak of...they are a loose-knit Order of Chromatics through several Realms. reds and Blues mostly, though I fought a Green two weeks ago in a bordering realm. She escaped, though I took her eye with my Spear before she got away,Shielder be praised. I think that they are working for some faction of the Warmaster's, for they seem to be planning and formenting unrest in several Realms, as if they are seeing what sort of resistance there is. Archraol's Agents often do such before a major Campaign.'
The Silver sipped his tea and waited to see if Damien had anything to add.


OoC:Ack, I need to sleep, having just gotten in...sorry all. I am quite enjoying these new threads, as well as these new characters. Kudos all, for throwing some new life into this game (with Argent and LL42 having held the Fort long enough for you all to get here.

Damien enjoys his curry wondering if he burnt the back of his throat on the first bite. "Well, Grang actually i am pretty ignorant of the politics of the area. But i will definately keep a watchfull eye towards these others of our kind." Damien ponders what has been said some more. "During my travels if information presents itself that you are correct regarding military action, i will do my best to get this information to you." Finishing up the curry, Damien stands drops a couple of gold on the table for payment and tip for the food. "Thank you for the company but i better get back to my companions."

Iced-cream? Sounds interesting. I better eat it now before it gets warm. Kazareen digs into the iced bream with his fingers and licks them off. Oh.... Ah..Oooo.... Says the Kender mage as he pulls a Muttley. (For those too young to know what a Muttley is... I'm so sorry for you.)
Wow Jack. This is wonderful. I wonder what this tastes like? he says to the Atomie handing him the iced-cream and taking a bite of the yellow wrapped food. Yum! Tastes like swamp rat. You know.. Strangely they taste like Rhino."

 

[silentspace]

Valendir does his best not to stare at the lovely Elfess too much. Taking her hand, he says, Thanks for saving my life! I am Valendir, and yes, I’d love to have something with you!

As they walk along, Valendir says I must say you are very attractive. For a pretty girl. With a great body.

Say, you don’t have a boyfriend do you?

And, uh… do you have any sisters? Or female cousins?

 

[LazarusLong42]

OOC: Life, indeed. Wow, y'all are posting quick!!

Kael finds a bench in a relatively central location. "Damn and double damn. Where has Valendir run off to now?" Keeping this loose-knit group together, especially in a city the size, the spectacle, the sheer craziness, of this place, was going to be...

...difficult.

Aska, it seemed, with the help of Jack, was herding Kaz, keeping him out of too much trouble. Damien and Valendir were both off somewhere. Chasing women, apparently.

Kael felt Taklinn sit down next to him. "We should be off to the castle soon, Mister Elf. No matter what little Kaz's attention span is, that geas will get to his brain right quick."

Kael nods. "Indeed. We've come this far; we should finish that journey before we start our next."
