Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 15: New and Improved!
Terrie's Tree
"Wonderful! Rest assured, I don't want to eat your apples. I want to make drinks out of them. If you'll let me, I would make an orchard of trees from your apple seeds to add to my vinyards. Of course, I don't ever ask for something without offering a favor in return, so if there's anything you want from me, just ask, and I'll do my very best to give it to you." And so his plot is revealed. Dionysus wants to make wine from fey apples? This could turn into shenanigans in a hurry.
He's being sincere about helping Terrie though. Favors are his trade, and he's getting something big out of this.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 15: New and Improved!
[Terrie's Tree]
Terrie grins, "I want to be a warrior! Like the Watchmen!" This is something she's wanted for quite a while. Thus why she's carrying a wooden sword, of course, "I don't know if there's a way for you to do that though. I'm going to need a lot of training." She nods.
... this is a five year old (mentality, anyways) kid that knows she needs training? Odd.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 15: New and Improved!
Terrie's Tree
Dio considers her predicament with care, "Training... or perhaps a bit of magical aid. What if I asked a friend of mine to craft you a weapon that you could use to get better with? He owes me a favor, so I'm sure he'll be happy to oblige." He stands up, looking at the tree for a moment.
"Maybe... yes, a hammer perhaps? We could even use part of your tree for the haft, if you can spare a branch." Now he's thinking, his mind limbering up to something new.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 15: New and Improved!
[Terrie's Tree]
Terrie grins, "Yeah, that'd be great!" Terrie says excitedly, "One condition! the haft has to be alive. Then I can go out and smite evil!" Because dryads need to be near their tree, and it doesn't count if the tree is dead! Terrie seems excited at this prospect.
She's so excited in fact that she leans her head over to the side and takes hold of the leaves that make up her hair. Four apples start growing from the leaves with shocking speed.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

"Of course. I wouldn't dream of killing any part of such a lovely tree. In fact, let's make the entire hammer out of one branch, to make this work the absolute best way it can."
"So, we have a deal then?" He reaches out a hand to shake, to seal their pact of course.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 15: New and Improved!
[Terrie's Tree]
Terrie grins, planting a pair of apples in Dio's outstretched hand. Then she'll try to take his other hand so she can put the other pair in his other hand, "Deal!"
Well, she didn't quite understand the idea of shaking hands, but I think it still counts. At this point she runs off, giggling madly to herself. she can finally be a warrior! Go out and have adventures! The reason she's running off though is because she doesn't want people to see her playing, pretending her wooden sword is a hammer. She's a bit vain regarding that.Last edited by Halae; 2012-07-09 at 03:56 PM.

Wenomir enters the courtyard. He's dressed in his "civilian" clothing, which means a loose black sleeveless shirt and loose trousers. He's unarmed, but those who know him also know he's far from harmless even now. He glares at Dio as Terrie runs off.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 15: New and Improved!

Dio blinks, but accepts the apples, slipping two of them into the pockets of his coat as Terrie runs off. Now he just has to call in that favor from Hephastus and-
Oh, well he supposes not everyone he'd run into would be friendly. Nonetheless, Dionysus puts on his most charming smile for Wenomir as he approaches, bowing formally.
"I'd heard about a dryad in these parts with unique apples. I wished to bargain for some, and turn the results into a wine to see how it would come out.

Ah wonderful, suspicion and ill manners. Well, he could hardly expect better while on unfamiliar ground.
"A favor for a favor. Specifically, she wanted a weapon so she could properly defend herself and train to be a warrior. I suggested a hammer made from one of the limbs of her tree, and she seemed amenable to that." No sense in concealing the terms of their deal. Honesty would get him more here than lies, and the deal was already set.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

This just keeps getting better and better. Wenomir already suspects he'll have to throw this guy out head-first. In fact, he hopes he'll get to do it.

"I haven't given her anything yet. I need to have it handcrafted first, and then return with it. As for my name, Bacchus is what I'm most commonly called. And you?" There really is no dealing with some people is there? Wenomir simply gets more and more hostile the longer this conversation goes on, no matter what he says.
Even though he said he was ready to leave at the start. Such an odd twist of logic that is.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

"Of course, if that's what she wants. I'm very flexible in my business dealings. It helps to stay loose. However, this is still a business deal, and sealed on my end. I'm obligated to give her what she asks for, so long as I'm capable of doing so." Ah, the wonders of godhood. Bound to your word, so long as you're foolish or wily enough to give it.
In this case, Dionysus doesn't regret offering Terrie carte blanche in return for her aid. If she wanted to be a warrior, it was her right to train to become one.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

"Just one last thing I'm afraid. I don't want to leave unprepared after all." Dionysus reaches up and tries to pull a limb off of Terrie's tree, which should come off without a snap. Looks like he's chosen one about the size of a mid-sized warhammer.
Assuming the tree and the grump allow him to do this, he'll carry the branch under his arm and salute Wenomir with a handful of apples.
"Good day then, master Wenomir. May the sun shine just a bit brighter in your heart on the morrow than it does now." With that cheeky farewell, he'll attempt to take his leave of Watchtower for today.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 15: New and Improved!
Micah does indeed follow, perhaps a little hesitant about entering. After all, he'd been nabbed in the last fortress he was in. Though, that was an orc-infested ruin and this is... well, not.
"The tale? What on Laira would you need to know other than 'bloodthirsty gnolls are headed your way'?" Micah's somewhat agitated, and not at all polite. "Some mad elf ran off the leader and took over. Wants to draw them into a trap or something. Kill them, arrest them, don't care. Though killing them would be more satisfying..."
He's slow to realize he's not talking to a race he knows. "Who the heck're you anyways?"Thank-you Ceika so much for my awesome avatar!

"Wait, our way? Like right now?" Adir's voice suddenly loses its warmth. He won't sound the alarm just yet though - that statement was a bit too general. Still, the friendliness hasn't left his face. "I'm Adir Frescot. Nice to meet you. Now about this elf..." Adir holds out his hands in a questioning gesture. "Why's he sending the gnolls our way?"

"'Cause he's an elf? Elves're crazy like that, ain't they? Are on Laira anyways. He says he wants to draw them to a trap, but I think he's trying to 'ttack this place and take it for them gnolls.

Boris enjoys the stew very much when he eats it, though I doubt he would've vehemently disliked it even if it wasn't rich in flavor. Eating plain rations most of your life tends to lead to lower standards in taste.
When Cornelia comes back with the tea, he tilts his head a little. "Never tried it before, so it wouldn't be fair for me to say."

"Suspicious is right. I think you need to come with me, pal. What was this elf's name again?" Adir seems a little suspicious of Micah. What an odd man, showing up out of the blue like this. He gestures for Micah to follow, perhaps back inside so that they can find someone in charge.
"Then try it," Cornelia says, practically thrusting it upon him. The glass will have an extremely strong flavor - so sweet it curves around into unpleasant. Or at least, it might. The gunsmith wouldn't make it if she didn't enjoy it. "So? Whaddya think?" She seems to be expecting a good answer.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

The sweetness of the drink is a little overwhelming for Boris, but he doesn't gag or show distate. Instead, he just says, "Wow, there is a lot of sugar in this drink. It is sugar, right?"

Yeah, odd, but hard to give much warning when being dragged around by gnolls and into a battle ending with a change in pack systems. Micah follows Adir wherever he leads, glad that he wasn't turned away.
