Chpt. 5 - Race for the Runestaff

[greyarea]

Shen-in-Bjorn

Shen picks up the pouch of small polished stones and stoppered jug, examining both.

[Marcel]

Poltux-in-Shen makes an effort to lift the giant flail, then the shield.

[tkrexx]

The eyepiece, Flint via Honnilee scampers over to his own body, knowing Raquinel resides within. Let me see the eyepiece! This isn't right!

[tkrexx]

Well, Honnilee via Idwillen decides, I might not be able to sneak up on anyone, or climb a wall, but this body sure is good at bashing things!

[Grognardsw]

The adventurers discuss returning to the Art Emporium in the Tower of Roses in hopes that those mirrors may return minds to their proper bodies.

Shen-in-Bjorn investigates the pouch of polished stones and jug. He is delighted to find the latter full of pink liquid that looks just like the powerful healing drink found in the Hall of Pools! In the pouch are 11 very small stones in various shades and shapes.

Poltux-in-Shen lifts the monster's flail and then shield. Heavy they are and impractical to wield. Flint-in-Honnilee retrieves his eyepatch and glove from Raquinel-in-Flint. He believes something is amiss.

[doughx99]

Idwiilen in Andover Did anyone see which way that creature came from,he yelled something about us not getting the staff maybe he has it hidden

[tkrexx]

He didn't say the staff in particular, the body of Idwillen raises a finger to make Honnilee's point, highlighting the Halfling's uncanny, if surprising, attention to detail. He just said we will not have IT. We all assumed he meant the Staff in the shock of the moment, but he could have meant this flail, or poor Durandal's head, for all we know.

[tkrexx]

The flail, the shield, should have made the journey with the demon, the Hobbit seems to be pinching pouches right out in the open. Donning the crystal eyepatch, Flint via Honnilee is focused on the final disposition of this most formidable enemy.

[AleBelly]

"We need to return to the Art Emporium or the great room where our last curses were reversed. We're weakened in the bodies of others and need to return to full strength as I'm sure we will only face stronger foes" states Raquinel-in-Ianin firmly.

[GreyWolfVT]

Bjorn "We got lucky consider it a blessing we are even alive. Andy any way we can track where that thing came from? Also Ianin didn't you say in your out of body spirit travel you saw Dur with a young boy?"

[MonkeyWrench]

Ianin-in-Raquinel, "hm? Why yes, yes I did. I am pretty sure the boy is either the staff or connected to the staff through magical means. We should find it-him soon."

[Marcel]

Poltux-in-Shen throws down the monster armaments in disgust.

"I do not remember which way the monster came from," he answers Idwellin-in-Andover. "But let us move on."

[Grognardsw]

The Fellowship of Law decides to leave the Chamber of Mirrors. Out in the hallway, Andover-in-Poltux still retains his ranger abilities, and can make out signs that the monster came from the north.

Many in the party favor south, to return to the Tower of Roses to seek out the Art Emporium's mirrors.

Actions?

[MonkeyWrench]

Ianin will follow the group south since the majority seems to be headed in that direction.

[Zhym]

Andover in Poltux: "We must find the runestaff with all due haste, but we can't battle enemies in this state. Removing this curse must be our first priority. I do not know if the art emporium's mirrors will work, but it is worth a try."

[GreyWolfVT]

Bjorn "Finally someone on the same page as me I'd like to find the staff and be done with this place I'm done trying to seek anything but the staff. Honestly I see no point and going backwards it is wiser to follow the trail."

[MonkeyWrench]

Ianin-in-Raquinel, "I'll be honest with you all... I've completely forgotten why we are getting this staff in the first place, I've been just going with the flow for a bit now." He uses Raquinels womanly face to give everyone a smile.

[AleBelly]

"The boy with Durandal is but a distraction as well. With no concrete leads towards the staff's location, let's take a few minutes to return to the Emporium and see if those mirrors reverse the curse. If not, let's head to the location that DID reverse the earlier curse."

Raquinel-in-Ianin makes ready to leave the room and head towards the Emporium.

[MonkeyWrench]

Ianin-in-Raquinel

Raquinel-in-Ianin

Whatever will Bjorn say! Oh my!

[GreyWolfVT]

Bjorn "Did you forget that Durandal was teleported to the staff. Also how could you forget the staff can help us end the war of law and chaos."
