Return To The Island
The Invisible What Now?
Late Afternoon/Early Evening


Wes quickly casts a spell that should create a colorful outline around any possible hidden targets in the area of his magic. Much to the surprise of everyone in the group, this actually works, when a humanoid outline suddenly appears from thin air standing in between to large trees. Once this unknown figure figures out what's happened, he simply shrugs his shoulders and becomes totally visible to the party.

Though you can't actually tell if this strange looking bug-eyed fellow is human or some mix of other races, he doesn't strike any of you as particularly dangerous. In fact, he isn't even carrying any weapons or wearing armor of any kind. Dressed only in simple brown robes, with a strange looking mop of yellow hair, the only possession you see is a massively overstuffed backpack looking much like a turtles shell strapped across his back.

He makes no aggressive moves as you look him over, speaking in a strange high pitched voice while staring curiously at the soft light enveloping his hands and arms.

"What do we have here but a motley band of peers."

"You look friendly enough to trust, but I believe patience is a must."

"Then who are you and what is it you do?"

Elnaerel

"I'm Elnaerel, cleric of the Lady of the Forest, Ehlenestra. And you?"

I hope he doesn't have a liking for torture.

Lerrick

I am Lerrick. She bows her head in her typical greeting to strangers.


Tzarkori

The fighter says nothing, but looks around to get a better idea of the surrounding area.

The Princess

She turns back around when the spy speaks. "Huh. That worked. Nice job."

"I was going to insist that the person spying on us should introduce themselves first, but that ship has sailed. Trust goes both ways, don't you agree?"

Return To The Island
Giggyfez Says Hello
Late Afternoon/Early Evening


The human looking fellow smiles uncomfortably after your responses.

"What's my name, everyone says? Well that would be Giggyfez."

He looks to Holmfrid next. "Holmfrid asks about patience, but it's easy enough to see. I simply wish for you strangers to trust me."

Lastly, he turns to Princess. "While I agree trust works both ways, calling me a spy is.....not okay. I may seem suspicious to you at a time like this, but I'm not the one involved with a demonic Miss."

The figure shrugs his weak shoulders, trying to adjust the bulging pack strapped to his back.

"Answer me this, if you would be so kind. What is it exactly your group is trying to find?"

Holmfrid

Holmfrid will let her mind drift for a moment and think, "Peace." before returning to form and staying firm.

Elnaerel

"Nice to meet you, Gyggyfez." says the cleric with a smile, trying to add a friendly note to the clear mistrust the party is showing. She doesn't say anything else, as she also wants to first hear from him what he's doing here.

The Princess

She closes her eyes and takes a steadying breath.

"Giggyfez, it is nice to meet you. Now I must ask, what is it you do?"

"A spy or suspicious you claim not, then why are you rooted to that spot?"

The Princess pauses and then tries to continue.

"The Demon is a long story quite unrelated to this, but the truth is our group is trying to find an obel..isk?"

Wes

Wes waits for Giggyfez's answers. He doesn't voice any of his own suspicions yet, not wanting to see the situation go from bad to verse...

Lerrick

The cleric observes the word play between the stranger and the Princess's somewhat suspect attempt to counter it. Lerrick tries hard, and is successful, in not laughing.


Tzarkori

The fighter stands guard.

Return To The Island
From Bad To Verse (nice one, man!) :mrgreen:
Late Afternoon/Early Evening


Giggyfez smiles back at Elnaerel. "And you as well, Elnaerel."

When Princess tries to match his witty banter, the pale skinned pack-toting figure grins widely, showing some rather questionable dental work.

"It was only luck that caused this meeting to be, but I would probably have found you eventually."

"Most dealings with Demons don't end well Miss, be careful not to wind up in the Abyss."

"And if it's tall pointy monoliths you are searching for, I know there are seven here, plus one more."

"Giggyfez has things you can buy, magic to get you good and high."

Wes

At first Wes is intrigued by the idea of picking up some magical items to aid the group. We have plenty of money, after all he muses.

Then a second thought occurs. Maybe Giggyfez wants something other than money? After all, who wanders the deepest jungle looking for sacks of coin?

Elnaerel "Oh, you're a merchant. Do you find many customers here?" She says while getting closer to Gyggyfez, interested in what he has to offer.

Tzarkori

You say you know about magic items. Perhaps you can tell me the properties of this sword I recently acquired. The fighter pulls the long sword out of its sheath and shows it to the stranger.


Lerrick

Plus one more?...where?
