To the noble BORN 6/9/08 (finished)

[Evilhalfling]

the water tastes cold and fresh, but seems to convey no special powers.

Keef ducks out from the trees, retying his breeches. "Here I am sirs, no need to worry about me."

Kerin will mention drinking from the fountain before riding down the hill.

Xaros on thinking about it, your family used to trade in Southwick Salt, which was owned by the le Mortons. Rumor was they harvested it from a sunless sea, far below the ground.
Although they haven’t in quite a while, instead your family has brought in sea salt, smaller quantities, but profitable.

Reyburn you think you have seen Southwick on a map, it was on the farside of you father's county. You remember that it was crossed out on the map.

After having a sip, Lily stands still in fear for a moment, ready for some horrible fate. Nothing seems to happen to the girl.

She thinks back to the group's mission then makes her assessment of the fountain's powers. "Ok, well it seems like nothing directly helpful happened when we drank from the fountain. However, I would point out that this scroll has the last wishes of a dead Baron, and that following out his instructions could lead to us claiming his land. Quite a lucky find in my opinion."

Rayburn rolls up his sleeve and pushes his hand through the fountain. Regardless of whether he feels something hard or his hand finds air under the fountain, he quietly observes the effects. Finally he looks up and says matter-of-factly, "I certainly hope it is luck."

He looks back at the water and relays whatever information he can remember about Southwick while he tests different parts of the fountain with his hand. When he is finished, he removes his hand from the water and says, "So... did anyone think to bring a bottle?"

"The best kind of luck as well, in my opinion. An opportunity that our own skills may see us through."

End of Chapter 1: The Fountain of Fortune

Rayburn when your hand is below the surface of the water it feels buoyant, and it too feels like it is floating upward to the liquid surface above he stone. The water feels a little tingly.

Keef looks around at all of you " So.. who is going to be baron then?"

and you realize you do feel a little different.

Chapter 2 : Baronial Ambitions?

 

[WarShrike]

"Ok, now what?"

 

[Dekana]

"Well, we seem to have finished our mission of finding the fountain. I suppose we could return back to Count Hathwick's keep." says Lily with a hint of disapproval in her voice. "But honestly, this is our chance to get rich - " She chokes on her words for a second after she says this. " - I mean uh, richer. As Sir Kerin puts it, this is an opportunity. At the very least, let's ask around about the Baron to see if his story is legitimate."

 

[knight_isa]

"I don't think we need to report back quite yet. This is a test of our independence and usefulness as much as anything else." Rayburn stares into the fountain as he thinks for a moment, then adds drily, "Besides, no one is dead yet and we really have done nothing but annoy a baron, so I'm not sure my father would call this expedition a success quite yet, despite finding the fountain. We should probably start by trying to find out who--or what--relieved the poor baron of his lands."

 

[Fenris]

"We should probably find the poor Baron's former lands first and se if anyone holds them, and in what condition they are in. Perhaps someone has already succeeded in our stead." offers Kerin.

 

[Jack of Tales]

A voice calls out from behind Kerin. "What baron?"

Cait walks into the clearing by the fountain and idly brushes a twig from her hair. She looked surprisingly well-kept after a run through the forest. Her face is slightly flushed and when Lily looks at her, she just grins and blushes a little. The noble walks over to where her horse is still tethered and allows the horse to nuzzle her hand.
