"Cursed? Then touching it would probably be ill-advised. Renard, if you do not mind, might we place it in your cart? This man seems to have suffered no ill effects, if he would secure it there, it would greatly ease transport without worry of any possible curse afflicting us by touching the th...

The druid sitting at the bard's side, she calls down to the goblin monk. "Balpur, I wish to ride with Renard for awhile. Will you join us? Solana will follow on her own. I still wish to learn what you may teach about the ways of the quarterstaff, and perhaps we may attempt to practice what you ...

Wow!
Excellent!!

...I have no idea where to even begin...

...help...

"May I ask how far you have traveled, Star?" Tänya asks. "For the events you describe have only recently occurred. Are you a citizen of the local area or of Pan Town proper?"

*bows*

"Welcome, sister Star. I am known as Tänya. May I introduce," pointing to the various party members in turn, "Ahkash, Renard, and Thonunian?"

Welcome!!

Onward and Upward!! Excelsior!!!

*sorry*

...my Daddy always said that at the start of a new trip...

*blushing prettily*

And welcome to whomever will be joining us!
I suspect Seven Words did PM the DM then...

So glad it worked out.

I hope everyone is feeling better today.


I've been told update this afternoon, if all goes as planned.
The DM was figuring out something new for the campaign yesterday...

...can't wait to see this!

Watching the eyes of the bard scan the party, the druid does the same. And she catches her breath as realization dawns on her. Perhaps he simply waits at The Wild Boar, and will join up with us with Renard ... she thinks to herself. When Renard returns alone, Tänya turns to him and asks as she climb...

" Very well then. " Apparently Kadir Shazar is a... ...a merchant of sorts. He will wish to barter to help us. Which is not to be unexpected, considering. " We may be asked to reciprocate by doing favors, "jobs" for him, if you will. My impression from what was said is that ...

A slight shiver of warm pleasure passes through the elf as she is embraced from behind. Then, stilling her emotions, she turns towards the bard and gives him a quick nod. " Word has been given. The psion grants us audience in The Tower of Mist. But there are things about him we should all be aw...

Lids blinking rapidly, the druid's eyes regain their focus with intensity. Slowly rising, she considers White Blossom , then anchors him securely amidst her arrows in her quiver. Stroking Solana's neck as she walks along the side of the horse, she stops at her saddle bags and starts taking inventory...

The compression of stone and illumination solely from sources they brought with them begins to again weigh heavily upon the druid. Taking a last lingering look around at her master's frescoes, and determining she has learned all there is for her to currently glean from the underground chamber, Tänya...

"May it help you find the answers to what you seek, Arael," the elf replies warmly. Glancing towards Renard with a wink, she continues, "And perhaps you might ask Renard to sing over it at camp tonight. Who knows what hidden wonders music may release from a powerful gem?"

The druid looks towards the winged man with a smile. " I claimed the gem not for it's monetary value, Arael, but because I thought it had another purpose. If it had spoken to me, monetary value would never enter the picture in what I would do with it, and the same goes for it speaking to anothe...

Tänya looks at the farmer with gratitude. " As Renard said, it is more than any of us have done so far, simply by holding it ." Turning towards C'tar-melak, and the others in the party, she asks, " Is the word Gelgos known to any of us here? " While awaiting to hear from the othe...

"No, my friend. I'm at ease to share with you what i said to the ancient elemental. After the introductions i asked him if he ever saw anyone like me. Unfortunately he never did... He said he can see a sparkle of " the very substance of the earth " in me... but i don't know what it m...

He shrugs that boyish way again. "I don't have all the answers, dear one, I only have the tickles of suspicion. Instinct. It has lead me in many directions, including to you. But I know not if it is correct. I only ask you to be aware of the possibility. There are many contradictions, and few ...

A look of compassion fills Renard's eyes. After silently sighing, he confides something in her he had been mulling over ever since he saw the vision of her mentor... Tanya," --he gently places his hands upon her sof shoulders-- "when you trust, you trust with your whole heart. The danger ...

Shaking her head sadly, Tänya puts away the brown gem and continues studying the fresco. Then she suddenly hears the voice of lindar a'maelanim ... "ah, my Little Warm Light of Farwood ... does Matheris' staff not look a lot like White Blossom?..." [ooc]...you apparently got the same resul...
