(Greetings. I am the Guardian Angel of Hope. I will be watching over you on your journey. Yes, you will be going on a journey. The journey will go over mountains, under the ground, and across oceans. You will be taken through the sands of time, you will stride through the tower of the ages, and you will be touched by the light of divinity. All thanks to your own spark of divinity. Keep this spark. Guard it. It will be the thing that will allow you to fight, survive, win, and eventually restore the light to the spreading darkness. So is the prophecy of Hope.)
The streets of Sapphire port is busy as usual. Named because of the large blue sea it lies next to, and known for its size and grandness. Everywhere people are bustling back and forth, bartering as if their life depended on it. There really is nothing that can't be found in this city. Baztikk, Lisaa, Sasha and Bronsk are all wandering one of the main streets of Sapphire port. The street is filled with voices and people yelling and talking, however the talking suddenly stills as a commotion breaks out by the guard station. Those close enough can see that a young girl is arguing with one of the guards from the station.
"It is true. I promise. Please, I beg you. You have to help me." The girl pleads innocently.
"Shut up." The guard replies, as he brutally slaps the child across the face, causing her to bleed from her lips. "We are very buzy here, and we don't have time to kids and your pets."
"But." The girl tries to object but is shoved to the ground by the guard.
"Didn't you hear what I told you? Now get out of here before I arrest you for causing a ruccus."
(Sapphire port is plagued by bandits who pay orphans and street urchins to bother and distract the guards of the city, so that thieving becomes easier. Children also have very few rights in Sotonia unless they come from wealthy families. Most children living on the streets have very little chance of surviving to adulthood on their own.)

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk Sieffson
The lean young Nord with the ragged brown hair watches the scene awkwardly. A patch on his shirtsleeve in the shape of a cross with a green leaf marks him as a professional healer and herbalist. His garb is simple, but well worn from travel.
Breaks my heart to see these things happen. And one so young, too...
After a few more seconds' indecision, he walks to the guard station, and offers a hand to the child.
"Here," as he speaks, the man's voice is rough and accented. "Let me help hyu up."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
The girl looks up at Bronsk uncertainly. "Th-thanks." She stutters and stumbles to her feet with the aid of Bronsk. "P-please. You have to help me."

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha Corrine
Sasha was a couple yards from the incident as it unfolded; she was perched on a small bench, arranging the multitude of scrolls within her backpack so it wouldn't lean to a side. Those who've spend some time in Sapphire Port have seen this girl running errands for a local wizard. Indeed, though few knew her by name, most knew the young blonde woman, barely an adult herself, by sight. Her clothing was a simple robe ensemble, a pastel blue that matched her eyes and cinched with a simple white belt. Although a dagger was tucked into the belt, this was mostly for sure; tucked in by her right hand was an ivory wand, most likely a much more dangerous weapon in her hands than a dagger of any kind. Despite her profession, a silver holy symbol hangs from her neck, declaring her to be a follower of Isis.
As the incident unfolds, Sasha mostly keeps her eyes lowered; she's never been one for confrontations, particularly since some guards considered her young enough to be a nuisance still. Despite this, as the woman shoulders her more comfortable backpack and carefully picks up a stately raven from the ground, apparently her familiar, she sneers at the guards. "Thank the gods we have such big, strong men to protect us from sweet, innocent children." She sneers angrily, her voice rising somewhat more than she intended.

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk
The healer raises an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Iz someone ill?"
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa Silvershadow
Lisaa walks through the street with the hood of her cloak pulled up when the agitated voices makes her aware of the ongoings at the guard station. She stops and watches as the guard pushes the girl to the ground.
As the two humans meddle in the dispute to aid the girl, Lisaa approaches the group. The small, cloaked figure glares at the guard from under the hood and speaks with a melodic, female voice. "What has she done that requires such rudeness ? She just needs some help !"
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
The brute of a guard turns towards Lisaa. "This is none of your business stranger." The guard replies before pushing himself through the crowd and back into the guard station.
Meanwhile, the girl tries to explain the situation to Bronsk, but she stutters and repeats herself. "Yes. Y-you see t-t-that m-m-my dog and, and, and." She swallows. "M-Mia and, and. There w-was this s-s-sound you see, and t-then all t-these s-s-stones began to f-fall down. And, and... please you h-have to save Mia."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk looks alarmed, his shaggy eyebrows leaping up on his face.
"Someone iz hurt, yah? Lead me to him, maybe not much time!" He frowns and looks around, thinking quickly.
If she can be moved, it may take more than one person.
"Lady," he says, suddenly, pointing a dye-stained finger at the oddly-cloaked lady. "If hyu feel pity, come and help! Thiz one says there's someone hurt by rocks."
Bronsk glances briefly at the other person to enter the scene, but then shakes his head
No more than a child herself. No sense getting her involved too.
"Lead!" He says to the girl, his hands already sorting through the pouches along the bulky belt at his waist. "I will follow."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
The slender woman turns to the healer with the accent. "I heard it. Yes, I will help." She removes the hood of her cloak and looks around to see if any others want to join them before her expectant gaze falls on the child.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
The shaggy-haired young man goggles at the elf in front of him, how that the hood has been removed.
By Ingshath! Such beauty!
He looks down hastily, conscious that he's been staring, and mumbles
"Thank hyu, M'Lady."
A soft but insistent growl rings inside Bronsk's head
Keep hold of your wits, you addled Bugbear! You've seen elves before!
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
The girl seems to finally have regained her composure, and she smiles joyfully at the prospect of receiving help. "Yes. Thankyou, thankyou." She begins to pull Bronsk after her towards the exit of the city.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
Even as the apprentice gathered her things and prepared to leave, her eyes stay on the young girl. Most children, after pestering the guard, disappear... this one had found two strangers, and seemed to be talking to them, rather excitedly. "I wonder what's wrong?" She asks the raven in her hands, who blinks and stays silent. Transferring the raven to her shoulder, she hurries over, dodging through the crowd with minor difficulty.
"Excuse me? Is everything all right?" When she reaches the man and the elf, she looks down at them quite curiously. Although young, she's quite tall and stands with her shoulders back, eyeing the people curiously. "I just wanted to know if she needs help..."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
Lisaa follows the girl and the healer and looks over her shoulder to the young woman. "Yes, there is probably someone hurt, maybe in a collapsed building." The elf quickens her steps and overtakes the girl to look her in the eyes. "What happened ? Did something collapse ?"
((Maybe roll Sense Motive for me if she answers my questions.))
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
"Nonono. No building. In the mountains. Me and Mia and my dog was there, and then suddenly there was a rockslide, and Mia and my dog was trapped in a cave under it, and Mia asked me to run for help, and, and I can't get her out from underneath the rocks on my own." The young girl answers with enthusiasm. She does seem to be honest, but worried.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
"Mountains!" Bronsk exclaims, stopping for a moment. "How far away? If it'z a rockslide, we need tools maybe."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
At the explanation, Sasha gasps dramatically, clasping a hand over her mouth. A rockslide... the poor dears... "I can ask my employer, he's a wizard... he may know a spell or two to help remove the rocks." As she speaks she recalls the scrolls in her own pack, wondering if any of those would be of help.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
The girl tilts her head curiously at Sasha. "Magic? Yes, magic can work. Just please help Mia." She then turns to Bronsk. "It is far. Up in the mountains. When Mia got trapped, I ran and I ran and I ran, and even then I got tired many times. We have to go very far, and we must hurry. For if it becomes dark, I will not see where Mia is." She explains without drawing her breath even once.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
Lisaa stops and turns to the young woman. "Are you sure that this wizard will help us ? Magic is very expensive.", she asks with a doubting look on her face. Lisaa looks up to the mountains looming beyond the city and then at the child again. "But it happened today, right ? Or did you run through the night."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
"It happened today. Mia took me out early this morning, and we spent a long time in the mountains. If we hurry, we can be there before the sun begins to go down."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk looks speculatively at the sky, and then turns to the elf and the young yellow-haired lady.
"We must hurry, but... Hyu two; hyu know where to find some er," Bronsk furrows his brow for a moment "er...Ruckstrackers, er...Shovels! Shovels. Yes? Five minutes may save an hour if we haf them."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
Sasha shakes her man at the older man with the strange accent. "I wouldn't know, but surely a shopkeep here must have some... this is a port city, after all, you can find almost anything. And the wizard is a fine man, he would surely donate a spell to save a child." She says this last question to the elf, and although she has a confident outlook, inside she is worried. What she says is true, if only she can get his attention away from his studies... "If I am not back soon, leave without me; I will catch up." With that, the apprentice takes off at a brisk run, skirting around villagers as she runs for the wizards study.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
"There should be an ironmongery nearby. Picks and crowbars might also be useful. But not too much or we'll be slowed down.", says Lisaa and points down the street. She looks after the blonde woman as she darts through the crowd. "I wonder if she will find us again outside the city ..."
The elf turns to the girl. "You must be tired and hungry. Here, eat some of this." Lisaa opens her belt pouch and presents some trail rations. Then she takes off her backpack and also offers her a waterskin. "And something to drink. Dry food requires a good amount water."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
The young girl gratefully accepts the food offered to her by Lisaa. "Ah. Thank you kind lady." She replies with a smile before nibbling on the food.
Meanwhile, Sasha arrives at the home of her employer. She enters the building and finds the old arcanist in his study, reading a dusty old tome. At the sound of her entrance however, he slams it shut and exclaims in frustration. "Is it impossible to get a little peace and quiet in your own study nowadays?" He turns around and notices Sasha. "Miss Sasha. What is the meaning of this?"
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk nods, and sets off in the direction the elf pointed towards the ironfounders. When he arrives, he looks decidedly agitated.
"Hexcuse me! I need quickly to buy two er, shovels and a pick! There's been an accident in the mountains!"
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
"An accident you say?" The attendant exclaims before swiftly retrieving the goods Bronsk requested. "There you go then. That will be two gold coins per shovel and three gold coins for the pick. That makes... seven golc coins total please."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
"Right." Bronsk reaches a chemical-stained hand into a pouch at the oddly-bulky belt at his waist and pulls out a small leather purse. He hastily counts out seven shining gold coins and places them on the counter.
So much for a nice inn tonight. ,he thinks to himself.
He snatches up the tools, and trots back to the street where he'd left the two women.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
Lisaa and the girl are still where the healer left them. They stand near a wall and nibble some dried fruits and nuts. "Hey, we are here !", shouts Lisaa and waves. She puts the waterskin back into the backpack and looks at the tools. "We could take of the metal ends, they would fit into my backpack. Then the shafts would be easier to carry. We could use them as walking sticks."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
"Excuse me, sir, my apologies." The sorceress hurries through an apologetic curtsy, before excitedly approaching her employer. "Sir, there's a child in the mountains that's been caught in a rockslide... I was hoping you knew of some spells that could help her." She bites her lip, hoping that the man isn't irritated enough to give her a hard time over this.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk catches himself staring again and quickly looks down at the ground. He frowns for a moment. "They would be loose later then, yes? I can carry them; it's not a problem. Has the other girl returned?" he asks, looking around.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
"A child trapped in the mountains? Serves them right for playing there. It really isn't my problem." He turns back to his workbench. After a short amount of silence, he speaks again though. "Although... I suppose I should help you. Now let me see if I have anything you can use." He searches through the mess of his workbench and pulls out a few scrolls. "I am not sure what the situation is, but take these and see if they might be of use. I expect you to only use them if you have too though, and I also expect you to return those you don't use." He says and hands Sasha a scroll of Grease, a scroll of Animate Rope, a scroll of Reduce Person, a scroll of Enlarge Person and a scroll of Floating Disk. He ponders the situation, and then pulls out a black and green wand from his robes. "Take this wand with you too. It might be of use if you need to actually destroy the rocks. Do be careful with it though. If it were to hit someone, the results could be lethal."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
"Alright, but I can take one of them.", says the elf and puts the backpack on again. "No, she didn't return yet. But she said the we should leave without her and that she'd catch up with us. The city is big, I have no idea how much time she needs to get to this wizard ... and convince him to help us."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk bites his lip thoughtfully as he slings the tools across his shoulders, and nods, finally.
"Yes. We should quickly go. I will carry these tools, M'lady." He turns back to the child. "Hurry! lead us to your friend."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
For a moment, Sasha was quite apalled with her employer, and debating raising a fuss until he finally deigned to help. So very kind of him. "Thank you so much, sir. I'll return with these immediatly." She promises, loading the scrolls carefully into her bag, and bending a corner of each one to remind her which were her bosses and which were hers. She sticks the wand carefully into her belt, next to her ivory one, being quite careful not to accidently set it off; she one accidently struck herself in the leg with a Magic Missile doing this, and limped for a week. With a respectful curtsy, the sorceress takes her leave, half-sprinting through town in hopes of finding the man and the elf before they leave.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
The girl nods slightly, then begins to pull in Bronsk and Lisaa. "Yes. We must hurry. Must not keep Mia and Bing waiting. She and Bing maybe harmed and maybe hurting." They begin to walk through the streets, towards the exit. As the exit is getting nearer, they hear the sound of someone running behind them, and notice Sasha barely catching up with them.
After much walking and chatter from the young girl, they finally find themselves arriving at the scene. Before them, they see a large part of the mountain side covered in mostly round rocks of all different sizes. "It was here... I think." She says and points to a large rock surrounded by several smaller ones, which seems to cover a cavern of sorts. "Mia. Are you in there?" The young girl shouts towards the rock.
"Yes. I'm here. And you're not going to believe what I found. Oh, but that can wait. Did you find someone to help?" A feminine, young yet mature voice calls out.
"Yes. We're gonna get you out, and Bing too." She then turns to the group who promised to help her. "Please help me get Mia out."
(The area is quite similar to the picture below. Mia should be buried beneath the uppermost part of the rockslide, with some rocks above her cavern, but most below.)

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk heaves a sigh of relief that this 'Mia' is still all right.
"We'll haf hyu out of there in just a minute!" the lean Nord hefts the pick and strides up towards the top of the scree, and begins clearing away rock.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
Lisaa looks at the mass of stones, lies her bow to the ground and takes off her cloak and backpack. "Only one pick ... the shafts of the showels will break if we use them as levers." She begins to roll, shove and throw away the smaller rocks that lie in front and atop of the cave.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
As the two more physically able people go to work on the rocks, Sasha slowly draws the black and green wand from her belt. Hopefully, her employer knew whay he was talking about. "Okay, sir, let's see what this does..." She whispers, and experimentally points the wand at the rocks near where the man is digging, praying that it works.

I'm assuming a Spellcraft roll to activate the wand blindly...

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
======OOC: Rudo, I think it's Use Magic Device========
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
As Sasha probes the wand, the knowledge of the contained spell flows into her mind, and she identifies it as Lesser Orb of Sound. She whispers the activation word and a piercing clear sound shoots out from the wand and into the rocks. One of the rock cracks and breaks into several small pebbles. Lisaa and Bronsk meanwhile move most of the rocks, and finally, there only seems to be a few stones that are too heavy to budge for even Bronsk. There is also the huge rock blocking the cave entrance, which not even everyone together manages to budge an inch.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk wipes a bit of sweat from his brow as he tries to catch his breath after the most recent attempt
"Whew! This one will not move. Can hyu use the wizard's wand on this one?" he asks, apparently talking to Sasha.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
Lisaa breathes heavily and schlepps herself out of the way. She rests against a rock and drinks from her waterskin. "Yes, try to weaken it with some well-placed shots. Then we can shatter it to pieces with the pick."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Baztikk
From the other side of the hill, anyone listening can hear a scramble of rocks and a wolfish growl. Over the course of a few mintues, the sound of clattering rocks seems to move across the ridgeline above the rockslide.
Eventually, a small well-dressed hobgoblin pops his head over the side of the ridgeline, carefully eyeing the assembled group.
[Sotonian]"These rocks, nasty unstable little blighters, wot? You all out 'ere on a pleasure cruise or som'ing?"[/Sotonian]
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk's eyes widen as he sees the creature above the rocks and hears its unitelligable babbling "Zunds! Aef Trunchkin!" He steps forward a pace and brandishes the pick at the hobgoblin
"Stay back!Lisaa, Sasha, watch out; there are more maybe!"
Careful, Bronsk...
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
Sasha was busy aiming the new wand, looking for a good place to fire the shot, when the sudden appearance of a strange man caused her to yell the activation word in surprise, releasing an unexpected blast of sound into the rock. Turning, she draws not her dagger, but an ivory wand at the creature. As nice as it is to hear her mother tongue and not the commonly-used traders talk, she'd heard enough stories of robbers on the paths to know to be wary.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
[Common]"Oy! Watch where you're waving that stick; you'll have som'uns eye out if you're not careful. Wish you adventuring types would stop 'ssuming that there's naught but bandits outside the city walls; why on'y last week I got a nasty scratch from some would-be hero."
The hobgoblin pauses, and then sets down his pack slowly.
"Perhaps I should indroduce me'self. Name's Baztikk, commisioned guard for the Trader's Union for the better part of two years. Here's me papers; most people don't believe me until they see them. Though honestly, most people don't believe me after they see them either."
The hobgoblin slowly unfolds a piece of paper tucked into his waist. An arcane mark glows a brilliant yellow on the page, and the contract indeed describes the terms of the hobgoblin's legitimate employment as a caravan guard.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
Lisaa is quite flabbergasted by the sight of a well-dressed sontonian-speaking hobgoblin. Eventually she picks up her bow and stands up. [Sontonian]"So, this sounds interesting. And what are you doing here ?"[/Sontonian], asks the elven woman.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Baztikk
The yellow-skinned hobgoblin bows slightly to the elf, appreciating her recognition of his linguistic skills.
[Sotonian]"I were out hunting; nothin' like fresh rabbit, eh? I hear you lot making a ruckus, and decide to come see what's the commotion all about."
[Common]"So what's all this about, then? Unless you all be the rock-breaking brigade, I imagine there's something you're looking for. Mayhaps I can help?"
The hobgoblin gives an uncomfortable look at the pick still brandished his way, but tries to put on his most diplomatic face.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
The blast from the wand managed to create several cracks in the large rock, but it didn't do enough damage to it so that it crumbled.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
"There is someone trapped in a cave. This rock is the last obstacle." Lisaa climbs onto the rock against which she was leaning earlier and turns to the healer. "He is nice enough and this writ looks legit. I think it is safe if you use that pick for its designated purpose."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk lowers the pick warily, but seems a bit more relaxed now that casual conversation seems to be happening, nonethless, his voice is tense as he says "If hyu wish, M'lady." He turns to the hobgoblin with a scowl on his face "I am Bronsk. If hyu wish truly to help, help us move this rock."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
"A rescue? How thrilling! Not foh them, o'course. Now, moving that stone. Looks nasty heavy, but I'll do what I can."
From the top of the cliff, the hobgoblin grabs his pack and then slowly picks his way down to where everyone else is. He examines the rock carefully to see if there's anywhere that he can get some leverage on it to help push.
Search:[roll0]
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
There is a small crack between the rock and the cave beneath. With a lever, and a lot of strength, you might be able to tip it over and make it roll down the mountainside. Through the crack, you can also barely make out two shapes. One that looks like a dog, and one that looks like a human.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Baztikk
Putting his mouth to the crack, Baztikk calls into the cave.
"Allo in there! Don't worry yourself, we'll 'ave you and yer pup out of there in no time."
Turning back to the group, he points to the crack that he found.
"I think we can pry this rock away, but we'll need summat like a crowbar. Any of you got something along those lines?"
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Lisaa
The elf rolls her eyes and smiles dryly at the healer. "I told you to get a crowbar, didn't I ? Well, but the four of us might tip it over if all push it together." She lies the bow down again and climbs to the top of the rock.
((I guess this can work as a Strength check for the strongest character (Bronsk ?) and the others use the Aid Another action.))
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk looks bashfully downwards and coughs "Sorry. I was rushed." he straightens up again and wedges the pick into his oddly-bulky belt and clambers up to the top, following Lisaa.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
"Hold on, I think I can loosen it up a bit." Sasha declares, eagerly removing a marked scroll from her pack. Unrolling the parchment, arcane words can be seen written in luminescent ink that seems to shift and shimmer on its own across the page. Her trained eyes follow the words carefully, and holding the parchment in one hand, she begins to recite the words in a strange tongue, using many strange hissing and clacking syllables. Her free hand, her right one, draws a strange gesture in the air, before she steps forward and places her hand where the boulder and the surrounding rock meet each other.

Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
At first, the stone barely seems to budge, however, once Sasha completes her magic spell, it becomes much simpler. She and the young girl barely have enough time to get away from the rock before it comes tumbling down, thanks to the combined efforts of Lisaa, Bronsk and Baztikk.
"Ah, thank you so very much." The young girl squeals and dashes into the cave. From where she is standing, Sasha can see both the girl named Mia and the dog she had just helped. Mia is a beautiful maiden with red and blue hair. She is clothed in a cloak coloured in all the colours of the rainbow, and she is holding several scrolls. The dog is a rather large dog, almost resembling a wolf except for its docile behaviour. What is behind them seems far more interesting though. Right behind Mia is a large door, built into the wall of the cave. The entire door seems to be covered in strange markings which she can't dechiper from where she is standing.
Mia, the girl and the dog all walk out of the cave, and Mia bows respectfully before Sasha. "Thank you so much for getting me out of there and taking care of Astrid for me."
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Bronsk clambers down from above the cave mouth, his shirt made dirty by dust and sweat. He bows stiffly, ruffled hair waving about his head. His voice is thick and accented as he says "Of course. It is our pleasure." He peers behind her at the doorway in the mountain. "What iz that?"
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Sasha
Sasha grins and mimics the bow in return. By her garb, the woman seemed to be a follower of Iris, and therefore due some respect. "It was my pleasure, though the men and the elf did most of the heavy work, I'll admit." She speaks politely, but her eyes keep getting drawn to the door, like a child's to candy. After a few strained moment, she's unable to resist. "Excuse me, I must see..." Leaving that statement there, she steps around the woman and hurries to the door, growing excitement at some great discovery.
-
Re: The Silver Stars of the Eclipsing Moon
Baztikk
The hobgoblin doesn't join the rush towards the runed door, and instead squats down on the ground with his hand outstretched to the dog. He calls to it quietly, offering it a piece of dried rations he draws from his belt pouch.
"Poor little fellow...that couldn't have been fun."
Baztikk looks up from the dog for a moment, and looks right at Mia.
"That's a lot of scrolls you're carrying there. What brought you up to this neck of the woods?"
((OOC: Using lycanthropic empathy and diplomacy on the dog. Other lycanthropes might notice me communicating.))
