Chauncey shows no hesitation in gathering up the elaborate bracers in front of him, not being one to look a gift magical gift in the mouth.

He examines them briefly before slipping them on. "Well, what do you think?" he says, turning to Darklin. "I wonder what they do?"

Mr. Wrenly shrieks.

"Yes, I agree, they do offset my eyes nicely, thank you, Mr. Wrenly," he says.

Taking the question at face value, Chauncey replies: "I do not believe that would help, sir. But I would encourage you to be open minded in case it comes to that. Not the coconut part, though. That's ridiculous."

Keg looks about to say something and then.......... doesn't. Stopping to think and walks away mumbling something about bat crap.

Allissa

"Ok. Everyone find their new gear? Excellent. One last thing before we start out, actually two. The Dragon has just let me know that these are expected to be returned, except the potions of course. Secondly, I've heard a lot of options but no real solutions, myself included. Given that getting across the river is much harder further upstream (and a distinct lack of carpet options) :D , we should cross now and head up the trail. That would allow us to deal with the natives, and even possibly enter the clearing at multiple points instead of trying to cross in view of the clearing."

"So unless someone has a good idea on how to cross without too much trouble, we go up the native trail."

"InvisiGrimm and I can scout ahead, but I suspect this large a group won't encounter trouble until the first gate."

Grimm

"Me too!"

Elnaerel

Follows the rest and puts on the headband, if that's what it actually is. She also keeps the sling and stones.

Yrias

Puts on the boots and handles the two-handed sword with a... smile?

Wes takes a sip of the potion.

Maag sniffs the potion but doesn't taste. He gives the bastard sword some experimental twirls.

The Knife experiments with his sword. Then looks sceptically at the purple stone. "Isn't this kind of thing exactly how all this started?"

They join the group once it's ready to cross the river and head up the trail.

Saving Babydaddy
Godsday, 2nd of Harvester
Early Morning, Humid, Warm, Misty


Wake seems suspicious when the treasure suddenly appears, taking his items aside and taste-testing the potion.

Allissa spoils some of the fun when she tells everyone that the dragon would like his treasured things back once the deed is done. With nothing to try herself, she starts making plans for the journey, suggesting the trail be utilized up to the first settlement.

Grimm takes up the crossbow, finding it to be incredibly well made. A few practice shots reveals that it fires true, and twice as fast as his normal weapon. (+1/ shoots 2 bolts per round)

Elnaerel also looks suspicious, taking up the sling and stones while tying the strip of cloth around her head. She isn't sure what it does, but it works well to keep her hair from falling into her face.

Yrias slips on the boots, suddenly able to leap around the clearing at great lengths and heights without difficulty. (Boots of Striding and Springing) He is pleased with the way the large sword feels when he swings it around as well, (+1) happy to receive these unexpected gifts from the dragon.

Feanol slides her ring on next, suddenly feeling her spell casting ability doubling without any further study. (Ring of Wizardry 1st & 2nd level x2)

Daisy slides the ring in front of her upon her finger, always excited to see the magic shrinking to fit her. She suddenly feels less oppressed by the heat from the blazing sun above. Sniffing her potion doesn't do much, but looking at the heart on the cap gives her the impression it is one of healing traits, so she stores it away in her first aid kit. She notices 2 thin lines etched into the glass, breaking the potion up into 3 even portions.

Chauncey doesnt hesitate to don his bracers, suddenly feeling more secure than ever before. (BoD AC:3) His first impression is to clang them together 2 times in quick succession, which proves not only cool to observe, but is also pleasing to his delicate ear. He carries on another quick conversation about magic with Keg that quite predictably goes absolutely nowhere.

Keg apparently doesn't want the sword in front of him, walking away from the unpleasant conversation about magic and leaving the prized weapon sitting on the rock. (?)

Liam also ignores the leather bag and potion in front of him, suddenly keeping his thoughts to himself. (?)

:roll: Like I said......pulling f'n teeth! :lol:

Darklin is quite pleased with his new bow and arrows, strapping them on as fast as you can say bow and arrows. (+2 Long bow/+2 Arrows)

Wes sips his potion, feeling the powerful magic surging in his mouth and throat as he swallows. Knowing a bit about transmutation into animal form, he believes the potion to be one of Polymorphing. The note on the bottle may be proof of this assessment as well.

Maag smells the scent of vinegar from his potion bottle, but the sword feels great as he swings it around. It seems perfectly balanced and itching for a fight. (+1/+2 vs. Evil)

The Knife seems pleased with the sword in front of him too, (+2) though he gives the stone with it a wide berth, wisely suggesting that this might be tied to their original problem.

The route up the river trail is agreed upon and the party gets ready to set out. Several commoners stick around, eyeing up the 4 remaining untouched treasures still sitting on the rock.

Actions?

You all know who to blame for yet another delay, right? ;)

In front of Liam sits a plain leather bag and a potion bottle with an F on the cap.
In front of Grimm rests a crossbow.
In front of Yrias sits a pair of fine leather boots and a massive 2-handed sword.
In front of Wake is a very nice looking mace and an unmarked potion bottle.
In front of Maag sits bastard sword and an unmarked potion bottle.

The Knife

The Knife stands several yards away from the purple stone, looking for assistance. "Er... Hello! Wizards! Smart people! Keg! What should I do with this? Is it one of those stones? If I throw it in the ocean, the dragon will eat me! Alissa! He's your dragon! What should I do?"

Whoa!

"The Knife, sir, these gifts are clearly helpful... Look at me. I can't be touched!" says Chauncey. He jukes left, then right, then tucks and rolls behind a bush.

"See?" says the bush.

Grimm

"Wow! This crossbow is really good!

Oh... Give them back, you say? ... Well. It was easy to get them, so...

Anyway. Shall we move?"


Elnaerel

She tries her sling. Firing stones at a dead tree. She then asks Feanol to try to "spar " with her, to see if the headband grants some kind of protection, strength or dexterity. If they don't notice anything of the sort, she will concentrate and see if she feels wiser.

Don't know how to put the last one :lol:

Yrias

After trying his sword. "Well. We're well equiped now for our mission, thanks to the dragon. It's time to move."

Daisy
Daisy smiles at the people 'testing' gear, settles her pack on her back, and offers a brief prayer of thanks to Arvoreen.
Time's passing, ya'll! She stands at the river crossing, waiting.

Allissa

The Purple Stone vanishes as Allissa picks it up. "Trust me, the Dragon has no love for Momma, and based on some other experiences I highly doubt she could have infiltrated his gifting. No, The Knife, the stone is safe and possibly more helpful for you than others. Take it." If TK opens his hand, she will place the stone in it.

"The same goes for you and Keg, Liam. But if it would make you more convinced, I will use them first to make sure they aren't cursed."

I think this is just a miscommunication, but if not, Allissa will make sure to take the sword, bag, and F potion along with the group.

I believe I might need to make an impromptu DM ruling on the duration of the Invisibility spell in this game.

I think we have Allissa, Grimm, and Chauncey still running around unseen. Am I forgetting about anyone else?

Feanol

Feanol tries to spar with Elnaerel, but as she is by no means trained in combat she wonders if it has any value.

Wake

Wake looks at Daisy and then lets out a loud whistle. He says is a loud but kind voice, "ALL THAT ARE COMING THE TIME TO LEAVE IS NOW. AND IF YOU COLLECTED A GIFT FROM THE DRAGON YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE DRAGON FOR NOT COMING!"

Saving Babydaddy
Godsday, 2nd of Harvester
Early Morning, Humid, Warm, Misty


Elnaerel finds her new sling to be well crafted and the stones highly magical. (+1 Sling/dozen +2 Stones) However, no manner of testing or experimentation reveals the purpose of her new headband.

TK seems nervous about the purple stone, so Allissa comes by and picks it up for him. As soon as she possesses it, it floats up towards her invisible head and starts to orbit around it in mid air. With the stone not being secured upon her person, it remains visible, circling around her unseen head, virtually giving away her location. She and Chauncey try to convince the others that the dragon wouldn't have handed out cursed items if it wants MommaPamma dealt with properly, but there still seems to be concern.

Watching the apprehension about the gifts bestowed upon them, Wake finally tires of the lollygagging and uncertainty. The priest calls the group to attention with the help of Mayor Daisy.

The rather large party eventually starts up the now well used river trail, walking all the way to the first bamboo wall built across the trail marking the first settlement they come to. A small group of 4 natives carrying gourds and other containers have made their way through the gate in the barricade and are headed in your direction when they notice you. They stop on the trail with looks of concern, their eyes darting back towards the settlement often. One calls out to the wall in their native tongue, though none of you understand what was said. None but Elnaerel, that is. (see private thread)
