Fun Size Fantasy: -----------------Incoming Block of Text: Please

Fun Size Fantasy: Welcome to my second quest - "Baked to Perfection"! For
those who don't know me, I am Rica and I will be your punisher DM for the
evening. This is a Standard Level quest and it's
Fun Size Fantasy: estimated time is about 3 hours. If you have to go early
or take a really long afk, please let me know in IMs and I promise to do what
I can to make sure you character is alive when you get back to it.
Fun Size Fantasy: That being said it is my job to make this as difficult as
possible which could maim and even kill your characters. If we reach the 3
hour point in the quest and you need to go, there is no penalty
Fun Size Fantasy: for leaving early and again they should be alive when you
sign back in.
Fun Size Fantasy: Things to note:
Fun Size Fantasy: - Dossier updates stop now. If you don't have it on there
(even mundane stuff like paper), then you DO NOT HAVE IT.
Fun Size Fantasy: - I am slow and out of practice. Be Patient.
Fun Size Fantasy: - When you first use a bonus, skill or effect that adds a
bonus - state it out the first time. Duplicate actions only require the
number after the first time it's been stated.
Fun Size Fantasy: - Adventures are meant to be a challenge. While this one
may not kill you, I MAY be aiming for permanent damage.
Fun Size Fantasy: - DO NOT ROLL SOMETHING WITHOUT PERMISSION. As the DM I
would like to maintain control over the situation and this means you have to
wait on ME before just doing something.
Fun Size Fantasy: If you think I don't see something, IM me please.

Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Word began to circulate about Navahla that a
wealthy citizen was looking for adventurous souls to meet with him this
Saturday evening at the Crooked Chimney Tavern for an important task that
Fun Size Fantasy: will be rewarded handsomely. The tender of the Crooked
Chimney was told to tell everyone that inquired that the meeting was to be at
6:30 and that's when people were going to be allowed to see the
Fun Size Fantasy: citizen inside his private parlor. A drink was offered on
the house for anyone who stayed long enough to hear the man out. [ Open RP ]
Fun Size Fantasy: |[10/15/2016 6:27:45 PM]|
SwordOfAtrophy: It was rather easy for one to be at a specific place at a
specific time, if one stayed in that place. Since the Crooked Chimney had
been where the tall vampire called home, or another synonym of it, word
didn't have to travel too
SwordOfAtrophy: far to reach him. So there he stood, half leaning against
the wall. Chairs had a difficult time supporting the extra weight of half
plate, after all. Drink in hand, he stared impassively at the fire with
violet eyes, waiting for the
SwordOfAtrophy: time to roll around.
lurkerinshade: By Sardior why was it growing chilly even this far south!?
Ini-herit certainly wasn't lacking in defenses given the Armor of the
Construct that transformed him into something of a living... Construct.
Between the armor and the
lurkerinshade: Cruach girl that refused to walk on her own two feet.. the
Obsidian felt rather slow indeed on this trek to the Crooked Chimney. When he
did step foot in the place it came with rather heavy thuds one would expect
when a metal man
Godless Seraph: When one was newer to the area and trying to make a name for
themselves, it was important to take opportunties as they came. It was thus
that Frost entered the Crooked Chimney, a sly grin passing along her slightly
angular features.
lurkerinshade: came into your establishment. " For the love of Sardior ..
please let this offer be lucrative.. and not boring. " He murmured, mostly
due to the promise of getting the crocodile off his back.-d
scales shift: Art had told Aine to stop lazing about the Dominus and go do
something productive .. and so she was. Ini-herit had gained the information,
and little Miss Cruach was just along for the ride. Literally. Hanging off of
Ini-herit's
Godless Seraph: The last time she had been there.... well... the night had
been far beyond entertaining for both herself, her companion, and those who
frequented the place. Green-gold eyes, flitted about a touch, her long white
and gold wings
scales shift: back meant she was dragged along, leeching a much warmth as
she could through her thick padding against the Sarkotan cold and his dratted
armor .. why he couldn't leave that back at the ship she had no idea. Eyes
were part hooded as
scales shift: they moved in, the girl retaining her grip as she watched
everything carefully .. chances were she wouldn't understand a single word,
but her handy construct-slash-carriage-slash-heatstone could translate for
her. [d]
Of Rugged Ways: In need of a break from the cold and itching for an
adventure, he'd been keen to find out what was going on. Stepping into the
Crooked Chimney, he slid past the others and found himself a spot slightly
behind Frost. Fingers
Godless Seraph: lifted a moment off her back to shift, adjust onto her
posture. The woman was tall, statuesque in a way, armored and looking every
bit an angel fallen from the heavens. Though, she wasn't really... she was
something else entirely.
Godless Seraph: Thus that gaze lifted, turned, seeking out the potential
job.
Of Rugged Ways: trailed along feathers in greetings as he adjusted the strap
that kept Matumaini secured against his back. Look liked he wasn't the only
one interested in a little fun. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Just past 6:30, a tall guard of some sort slipped
from the parlor to stand just outside the door and motion to the bartender
that it was time. The man sent his serving women to tell everyone
Fun Size Fantasy: that the meeting was about to begin. As you walk up to
the door, the guard points you just inside to where another stood holding a
sack. "Please remove all weapons and place them within this bag in
Fun Size Fantasy: order to see his lordship. Once you have done so, only you
may take out the items that you put in." The sack in the second man's hand
would prove to be a bag of holding. Anything placed inside would
Fun Size Fantasy: immediately be put away within a dimensional pocket, just
as he said. Behind them was a curtain pulled across one side of the room to
obscure the view of the person at the table beyond.

Fun Size Fantasy: ( Brb! Dog! aand sorry about that! )
SwordOfAtrophy: The announcment made, without much even looking around,
maybe a slight glance at Frost, since she was standing out amongst the crowd,
and the small cat man he remembered from a fun night, he simply stepped
across the floor to where
SwordOfAtrophy: the meeting was to be held. Unclasping the sword from his
hip, he dropped it into the bag, the gaze he gave the man was a subtle
warning of what kind of fate might await him if it wasn't in there when he
returned, then he entered
SwordOfAtrophy: the room. Time to listen to some pampered goofball cry for
help for something he couldn't do himself. It was almost sad, really.
Of Rugged Ways: Now where had he seen that vampire before? A few blinks and
then he was following the initial lead. Yet when he came to the man with the
bag, he hesitated in handing over his sword. Relucantly, he finally placed
it in and stepped
Godless Seraph: At the feel of someone touching her wings, she turned and
smiled broadly at Behr, lifting her brows and giving a wink. She was pleased
to see him. At the request to remove her weapons, the normally happy
expression turned serious
Of Rugged Ways: within the room. -e-
lurkerinshade: How a winged woman stood out more than a living construct was
no doubt a matter down to the beholder. When the manling serving on his
benefactors behalf demanded their weapons, Ini-herit looked down at his hands
then worked his jaw.
Godless Seraph: for a moment. She was considering it, though she didn't much
like it. She complied, in the end, her weapons removed and placed into the
bag, her green-gold eyes moved over the others, a quick movement before she
moved on toward
Godless Seraph: the room.
lurkerinshade: " Humans are strange. " He murmured, throwing in his staff to
hopefully placate what would easily become a whining human if not kept
docile. Did lords not know claws and fangs were rather deadly as well?
Strange humans. -d
scales shift: Having gained a translation from Ini-herit, the quiet girl
blinked her eyes slowly before burrowing a mittened hand into the depths of
her heavy coat and withdrawing a gun. It was unloaded, the item carried
purely for its other
Of Rugged Ways: The wink was comforting and had him smiling considerably in
response. Moving to her side, he bumped her shoulder. "We better get those
back." Whispered to her. -e-
scales shift: properties, and from the outside it looked quite useless. She
felt rather insecure without it, hesitating a moment before she dropped it in
with a wince, eyes gaining a silvery coating as a surge of anxiety swept up
once she lost
scales shift: contact with it. AFter she would cling to Ini-herit tighter,
the metalman taking them both forward. She'd touch the ground eventually ..
just not right now. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: Humans are strange indeed.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Once all of the weapons have been dealt with in
some manner, the two guards take the bag with them outside the door and shut
it completely. Suddenly, the curtain is grabbed from the back and
Fun Size Fantasy: yanked back to reveal the man they all came to see. He
was young, in his 20s with strong features and a no-nonsense look within his
eyes as he took in the details of the group with a few calculating
Fun Size Fantasy: sweeps of his eyes. Even in the plain clothing he was
attempting to wear it would be hard to not know that he was high society.
"Thank you so much for coming. I'm sorry to put you through all of
Fun Size Fantasy: this but I don't know you and you don't know me."
[Knowledge: Nobility, Local or Sarkotos/Navahla]
Fun Size Fantasy: [ If you want to know more on you rown.. otherwise don't
feel you have to :-P ]
OnlineHost: Godless Seraph rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
SwordOfAtrophy: "It's better that way, what do you want?" For someone with
an infinite amount of time on the planet, he wasn't much for small talk.
Especially with those who were about to ask favors.
Godless Seraph: +5 (Breadth of Experience) +5 (Gallant) = 28
scales shift: Eyes focused on the upper class toff like person, reacting as
soon as Ini-herit filtered the translation to her. She didn't say anything in
response, but the man had her attention. [d]
lurkerinshade: " Its weird to fear weapons when there are dragons and
golems.. " Ini-herit said lowly.. just because it was strange to him.
Especially when not everyone used physical weapons! Why was he still on that
subject? He was pondering! -d
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The young man smiled, took another sip at his
drink and then moved to stand up. Giving Aine and Frost a wink, he would
clasp both hands behind his back with his legs spread slightly apart.
Fun Size Fantasy: "It is not fear as much a symbol of truce while we are
within this room. Not to mention, it would be incredibly rude to ask you to
remove body parts just to have a conversation."
lurkerinshade: " Then its good I didn't come with the staff grafted to my
arm again.. " -d
scales shift: The wink merited a blink, and the girl dropped an inch or two
so that most of Ini-herit was obscuring her. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] His attention slid toward Dakkon now that the
response had been given ((And I stopped being a derp to Frost)). "I need you
to find someone for me. My sister, Thora, has gone missing. And before you
get it in your head
Fun Size Fantasy: that I'm just being lazy to not go after her myself. Hear
me out." He could handle being blunt if it got them interested and on their
way to do what he wanted. "My family has received no ransom or note thus far
which means whoever
Fun Size Fantasy: has her may not know whom they have. The reason I cannot
start search any farther myself is because I cannot bring unwanted attention
to her disappearance and cause alarm within the Rambles or bring such
attention to my family if
Fun Size Fantasy: it is not required."
Godless Seraph: Frost tilted her head, flashing a smile at the Lord Edward
Gaheris, her gaze narrowing slightly as she considered him. Her wings
fluttered a touch, interesting tid-bit on the man, his sister? Her arms
crossed over her chest as she
Godless Seraph: glanced around at the others.
Of Rugged Ways: The exchange between them all fascinated him and he couldn't
help staring at the individuals that were.. stranger than most. Like the
giant metal man. "How do you know she didn't just run off with her lover?"
That sounded rather
Fun Size Fantasy: ---"She's 8."
Of Rugged Ways: romantic to him.. the dreamer that he was. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: With a look of frustration, his fingers moved from behind
him to dig into his jacket pocket to pull out a small ornate frame to hold
out to all of them. Inside was an expertly drawn portrait of a little girl
with banana curls and
Of Rugged Ways: Well that caught his attention. "Well why didn't you say so
sooner? We need to find her." Leave it to Behr to go all mother hen. "What
are we waiting for?" Inexperience talking there. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: bright green eyes holding a stuffed dragon tight. He
held it out for anyone to take it and have a look.
SwordOfAtrophy: Wouldn't stop some people. "If they aren't after ransom,
then I suggest steeling yourself for the worst, because it's likely she
wasn't taken on a whim." He eyed it from where he was, no need to trip over
everyone looking. "Where
SwordOfAtrophy: was she taken from?"
lurkerinshade: Was there another metal man there that was a giant? Certainly
wasn't Ini-herit, at five-foot,five he certainly wasn't giant. Ini-herit
glanced over the portrait though wound up putting plenty
lurkerinshade: more attention on the Lordling himself. Body language and the
like went a long way to knowing how the man actually felt about it and the
situation at hand right? [ Insight check? ]
scales shift: "Yinvets .." Near silent mutter voiced when she clocked the
picture of the girl, who was indeed to her eyes, cute. So was the stuffed toy
for that matter, she hoped it was still around. Deep inhale would be pulled
in, though she
Godless Seraph: It seemed she and Dakkon were of the same accord, her stance
shifted as he asked his question about where she was taken from. "And, is
there anyone in your circle that is suddenly acting strangely?" She didn't
like the ideaof a
scales shift: doubted that she would be able to catch a scent .. mittened
hand tapped at Ini-herit's shoulder to gain his attention, leaning over and
muttering something in his ear. [d]
Godless Seraph: young girl being coaxed off or kidnapped, but there was
information that needed to be considered before rushing off. Softly she
tugged on Behr's wrist, making sure he was still paying attention and not
distracted.
Fun Size Fantasy: "She and her nursemaid, Sally, were headed to Amelia Park
to enjoy yesterday afternoon weather. They were dressed down for playtime.
Sally stopped at one of the fruit vendors along the southern side of Market
Square and one second
Fun Size Fantasy: they were chatting about what snack to buy and the next
Thora was nowhere to be found. I went myself into the Square but I'm not
exactly unknown within this city." (And yes you can )
OnlineHost: lurkerinshade rolled 1 20-sided die: 11
lurkerinshade: [+5 Awareness (Psion Bonus), +5 Incredible Insight = 21 ]
Of Rugged Ways: He wasn't distracted at all, just not the brightest with
asking questions. When someone went missing back home, it was scent and
tracking that quickly followed. And yes the metal man was huge to him..
considering he didn't know
Of Rugged Ways: anything made of metal could even be that big.. and walk and
talk, even if he was shorter than the feline. -e-
lurkerinshade: He listened to Aine at the request before looking the man's
way. " Do you have anything likely to hold her scent? Tracking and all. " -d
SwordOfAtrophy: His instinct was to go grill the fruit vendor, but if they
could bypass that hum drum boring part and use others noses, that was fine
too.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] "None acting more strangely than usual if that's
what you mean. Taking Thora without a ransom is.. pointless." At the ask
about a token or something, there was a look of remembrance and he reached
into his pocket to take
Fun Size Fantasy: out a small silk ribbon and hand it across to the male and
his companion.
Fun Size Fantasy: at the asking*
scales shift: Aine would reach down and gank the ribbon from Ini-herit,
bringing it up and taking a good sniff of it. If she encountered the scent
again (scent skill), she would recognize it. Once she was sure she had it,
she'd dangle it back for
scales shift: the man to take. [d]
SwordOfAtrophy: Nothing was pointless, some people would take a small girl
for reasons he wouldn't voice to the man himself, such was the darkness in
men. But they had a point to start, so he moved to the door, seeking an exit
to find the man who
SwordOfAtrophy: held the bag and retrieve it.
OnlineHost: Godless Seraph has left the room.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:[ he watched with some fascination as he saw the
girl sniff the ribbon but then he smiled and retrieved the ribbon to place it
back within his pocket. "If that is all.. as for the reward.. Gems and gold
will suffice I hope?
Fun Size Fantasy: I might be able to work on something more if not."
Fun Size Fantasy: |[10/15/2016 7:19:06 PM]|
OnlineHost: astraI phantom has entered the room.
Of Rugged Ways: "Apparently the talk of payment will come later."
Considering out went the vampire. Behr was quick on his heels, itching to
find the girl as well. Not only for the promise of the reward, but for the
girl herself. Poor thing must
Of Rugged Ways: be terrified.. if she was still alive. -e-
lurkerinshade: As a dragon.. he happened to have a desire to hoard gems and
gold. " Both is good.. " Alas he wasn't the diplomantic bargainer type.
Someone else could do that.. or they could go.. that worked to? -d
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The guards seeing the two men walking out held out
the bag for them to retrieve their weapons as they went. Edward looked a
little strangely at the departing men's backs and then nodded to Ini-herit.
"Good Hunting. "
SwordOfAtrophy: He didn't care for riches, he came because he was bored.. if
they wanted to haggle over how much, he didn't care one way or the other. He
left people to do what they wished, as he did for himself.
scales shift: Aine would reach over and fish her hand through the bag,
making contact with her pistol. She'd visibly relax some once it was back in
her possession, the item disappearing into the multiple layers of her
cold-weather closet. [d]
Of Rugged Ways: Reclaiming Matumaini, he secured it to his back and paused
long enough to make sure the others were ready to depart before actually
moving further. "Shall we start with the vender, then?" -e-
SwordOfAtrophy: He retrieved his sword, finding the comfort in having it
again. Onward to the park, the vendors where the girl was last seen. "Seems a
good enough spot as any."
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The Crooked Chimney is just off the Market Square
on the Eastern side. On the southern side, you can find stalls for all kinds
of wares including food vendors. It seems to be a busy section
Fun Size Fantasy: with lots of people moving around, especially children. [
Spot, Listen, Gather Info... Aine will get something for scent ]
scales shift: Aine wasn't as familiar with Sarkotos as others may have been,
so she would wait until some progress had been made to the park mentioned
previously before she'd make any independant moves herself. [d]
scales shift: And there they were! Face was as masked as ever as she
disengaged - however reluctantly - from the metalline man, stuffing mittened
hands in her pockets to stave off the cold as she shuffled around, taking a
sniff every now and then
scales shift: in the hopes of catching a scent. What had Ini-herit said .. ?
Near the fruit vendors and something about a tree .. [d]
lurkerinshade: Retrieving his staff earned the weapon a slide into the thing
on his back beneath the clinging Aine to contain it (and leave his hands
free). The existing matter left Ini turning his keen senses towards the
matter they'd come to
lurkerinshade: unravel. [ Spot check. ]

Of Rugged Ways: Mm.. kitty eyes were pretty awesome for seeing stuff..
sometimes stuff he didn't want to see! -e-
SwordOfAtrophy: With everyone looking this way and that, trying to find a
trace, he simply grilled the fruit vendors until he got what he wanted.
Difficult task to do without being imposing. (Gather info)
OnlineHost: SwordOfAtrophy rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
SwordOfAtrophy: (a whole 6)
scales shift: Despite her abysmal nose, she picked up a small something ..
the girl shuffling off near the honeyed figs vendor
(don'tgetdistracteddon'tgetdistracted), and shambling off to the side where
she thought it led away to. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Everyone should have gotten a response by now ]
Of Rugged Ways: Perking, he noticed that almost every child around had candy
of some sort or another. Not to mention they were all carrying bags with the
same drawing on them. His head tilted as a couple came from a side street.
"I would suggest
Of Rugged Ways: that we look into the candy bags. Isn't it a little odd
that every youngling has one? Surely they can't afford such." But maybe
they were all rich. Who knew. -e-
SwordOfAtrophy: "I was told a new candy store opened in town." Though Behr
made an excellent point, not every child could be either well off, or have
lenient enough guardians for such candy. "Seems like a decent place to start,
if our little nose
SwordOfAtrophy: here hasn't got a better option."
scales shift: Aine would just be walking off to one of the corners that led
away from the square, sniffing away. Too far away to hear, and unable to
understand common even if she was in range. Unless Ini-herit used his long
range telepathy
OnlineHost: astraI phantom has left the room.
lurkerinshade: Ini-herit had acknowledged about the same through his own
means. Through a little telepathy (yay psion) he shared his findings with
Aine in order to keep her in the loop. And of course anything she wanted to
share with him. ]
lurkerinshade: -d*
scales shift: anyway, then she'd just point, and maybe it would be near the
aforementioned sweetie shop? [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] When you take a look down the street that your
clue has given you, you see a few more vendors and then at the end of the
street seems to be a lively and children-infested storefront. On the
Fun Size Fantasy: corner itself is two blonde women playing music. One is
playing the violin while the other sings an enchanting tune that sounds like
a lullaby while using a frame drum. [ If you understand Sylvan, I
Fun Size Fantasy: can give you the lyrics. I also have a youtube video if
you want to hear it. ]
SwordOfAtrophy: (elven help or not close enough?)

Fun Size Fantasy: ( Ahh stupid enter - Might be close enough )
SwordOfAtrophy: "...Well isn't that ominious.." He eyed the two women,
moving right to the one with the drum and the voice. "Interesting song,
love.. do you play it all the time?"
Fun Size Fantasy: [ If you have seen the movie Hocus Pocus: It's the song
Sara Sanderson Sings ]
scales shift: (( hah XD i was reminded of that when you posted ))
Of Rugged Ways: (Nice)
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Before Dakkon can completely continue down the
street towards the sweets shop. A voice comes out of the shadows. "Hey.
Don't get any closer or you'll regret it!" [ If he wishes to continue
though.. let me know ]
SwordOfAtrophy: Pfft, if he stopped at every ominous voice threatening
him... he'd be rich. Or.. however that phrase went. He continued on,
undaunted.
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Roll me a WLP Check ]
scales shift: A slight frown when her trudging showed a rather child
infested area down the way .. she wasn't that keen on small spaces filled
with people. It would encourage her to fidget a little, casting eyes to the
others. [d]

his neck standing on end. The women were eyed, as were the children. Then
came a voice, and he perked, eyes narrowing towards the shadows.
scales shift: Aine wouldn't be able to discern one gobbledegook voice from
another, so coming from the shadows wouldn't have her looking. Just standing
there fidgeting for now! [d]

Of Rugged Ways: (Oh wait.. perception.. +1= 20)
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Dakkon please hold one moment.
SwordOfAtrophy: (Ring of Autonomy, immune to charms/compulsions)
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Ini-Herit/Behr - The shadows move nearby and you
can tell it's a small black cat that came from the spot of the voice.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Slowly a black cat comes out of the shadows to hop
up onto a barrel and gives them all a look with its amber colored eyes.
"That guy just walked right into the ward that keeps adults away but
Fun Size Fantasy: I know how to get you through." He looked between the
members of the group a moment and then hopped back down to get something from
where he'd been hiding near the stall. Instead of a cat returning
Fun Size Fantasy: it turned out to be a male gnome wearing nothing but a
black velvet cloak around his person and bright green hair stepped out with a
bag in one hand and a pink bracelet in the other. "I have some
Fun Size Fantasy: bracelets here that would let you guys get past the ward
and able to get closer to the shop if you're interested?"
Of Rugged Ways: That had his brow arching. What more was this small cat?
For as as shifter, he knew well that looks could easily change along with
strength and other physical attributes. Sure enough the cat became a gnome..
and one that seemed
lurkerinshade: Was that a cat? He reasoned so.. had the little beast spoke?
He'd seen stranger things.. but he also had the means to not be obvious about
things! Course when you ran into a green haired little person.. what use was
telepathy again-
Of Rugged Ways: interested in helping them. The question now became the
feline's motive. "How do we know we can trust you?" -e-
lurkerinshade: st having his expectations shattered... he'd hoped for a
snack. - Yes. - (telepathy, yay!) -d
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] For breaking the ward -- The two ladies in the
front of the sweets shop stop playing completely and start motioning for the
children to get away from the man. "Your kind is not welcome here, love.
Please leave."
Fun Size Fantasy: The one with the violin turned and immediately went inside
the shop where the others were to tell them that they had company.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] (Back to the others) "Gnomes are very
trustworthy creatures. Don't believe me? Just ask us!" That comment had
him cackling a little bit. "You can either trust me or not trust me but I've
been waiting for someone else
Fun Size Fantasy: taller than a horsefly to be heading in that direction all
day. I have to get in the shop but it's scary being near all that sugar by
myself."
lurkerinshade: [ insight check! ]
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Go for it ]

SwordOfAtrophy: He eyed her impassively. "My kind? What kind is that? Man,
adult, vampire.. asshole.." He held his arms out. "From what I see, your kind
seems to be causing all the issues. Luring children here with song, magic to
keep their parents
SwordOfAtrophy: away. Very suspicious.." And contributing to the childhood
obesity problem! He did not add because he had no idea what that was.
Of Rugged Ways: "Do you know what's going on inside?" Might as well ask.
The little fellow did seem trust worthy enough. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] She continued to eye Dakkon for a few moments as
the children inside were all told they had to go home because they wouldn't
risk their safety with a mean man just outside. "All of the above? We're
just humble bakers and
Fun Size Fantasy: candymakers wanting to bring joy to the children after the
horrible even that happened last month. Many lost parents in that spider
catastrophe." [Spot if you want, Dakkon]

OnlineHost: DBur681898 has left the room.
Fun Size Fantasy: --- The gnome eyed the young one a moment and then
shrugged. "I know that a lot of kids are getting all kinds of candy but I'm
not sure all of them are coming back out."
Of Rugged Ways: "I'm in. There is something obviously wrong here and we
need to figure it out." Wait what? He's a dragon? Behr paused in thought
to regard the metalman even more curiously now. Back to the gnome! "We have
knowledge of at least
Of Rugged Ways: one missing child, so I feel you are probably right." -e-
SwordOfAtrophy: "Really now? Well it just so happens, that I'm here because
a very concerned big brother lost his little sister yesterday in this very
vicinity. So, you have two options.. you can tell me what you know about it,
and we'll see how it
scales shift: After Ini-herit translated for Aine's benefit, she'd nod her
head to indicate that she was on board. [d]
SwordOfAtrophy: goes. Or you can continue to play innocent, and find out
what judgement means..." Though the tone was unerringly dark, he was still
talking as though he was having a normal conversation.
Fun Size Fantasy: "I have knowledge of another myself. So that makes at
least two. I've been waiting to go in and I know if I do that it might cause
problems. Though your friend has them in a tizzy it seems." His eyes turned
towards the corner and
Fun Size Fantasy: then he moved to place several bracelets on the barrel he
had sat on briefly. "The magic in the bracelets can get you across the ward
without having to worry about the magic that it does.. but the disguise that
I worked on may not
Fun Size Fantasy: be needed anymore." Silly rings of autonomy!
Of Rugged Ways: "Thank you." Picking up the bracelets, he handed one to his
companions, first the metaldragon, then Aine. "Are you still picking up her
scent?" Asked of the female, unaware that she wouldn't be able to understand
him. The
Of Rugged Ways: bracelet was then slipped onto his wrist. -e-
scales shift: Bracelet accepted, she'd tilt her head slightly with confusion
until Ini-herit sent her the translation, and then sniffed in response. If
the girl had passed through that way Aine would pick it up, hopefully. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: --DM:] (And yes pink.. ) Give me just a minute there
Dakkon
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] he placed the pink bracelet from earlier onto his
wrist and closed the clasp. It caused the air to shimmer around him as he
changed. The gnome had to grow taller to be a human child but his
Fun Size Fantasy: features and everything slowly morphed with him as the
black cloak because a cat suit complete with fake tail and a pair of fake
ears on top of his head. He gave a laugh and waved as he headed
Fun Size Fantasy: straight for the ward line and passed across. Turning
back to his new friends and waving them through. Putting the bracelet on
yourself won't hurt. If anything there might be a tickling sensation on your
Fun Size Fantasy: skin as you become a child version of yourself. Weapons,
shields, and armor all become "Play" versions of themselves (but all the
bonuses still work!) Metal weapons become wooden, jewels become
Fun Size Fantasy: paste.
lurkerinshade: A bracelet selected and applied prior to turning his
attention to the antics of their errant comrade. After which .. well..
Ini-herit wasn't too keen on suddenly widing up a living toy though.. (living
construct.. haha). Well he was
scales shift: Aine was on the cusp between child and adult, but in this
instance she would definitely become a younger version of herself: no longer
straddling the line! Cute as a button with wide eyes, darker freckles and
fluffier hair once the
lurkerinshade: not against following the gnome all the same. It wasn't the
first time he'd been reduced to a tiny size... at the bidding of a gnome both
times no less! -d
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Ini-herit toys for Yuletide! Every child will want one!
]
scales shift: bracelet was slapped on, as well as losing a foot or two in
height. Fun times .. hopefully her crocodilian shape would be just as adorbs.
[d]
lurkerinshade: [ careful. He bites
]
scales shift: (( i want three! ))
scales shift: Course at some point she'd look down, notice the distinct lack
of bump on her chest and sigh wistfully, a sly glance then passed to the
gnome, wondering if she could keep the braclet .. either way, she'd wait for
the others to move
scales shift: forward before shuffling off. [d]
Of Rugged Ways: Daw. Poor Behr became that much more scrawny as he shrank
into that awkward gangly frame. Was he.. pouting? LIttle else changed, he
still looked Behrish only younger. Now he looked pathetic.. more so than
usual. Bleh.
Of Rugged Ways: He followed behind Ini-herit and Aine, eyes drifting towards
Dakkon. This would prove interesting. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The female looked Dakkon over for a minute having
never seen his companions down the street. "I'm sorry to hear that a child
is missing but do you have any idea the number of children that we
Fun Size Fantasy: see on a daily basis right now?" Her hand waved to the
store behind her and down the street towards all the other children that were
milling about. "We try to keep adults away so that this is a
Fun Size Fantasy: safe place for the children but beyond our border we are
unable to stop the atrocities of men such as you.." Obviously there was a
bit of hate involved when it came to vampires now that he had pointed
Fun Size Fantasy: himself out.
Fun Size Fantasy: --- Their gnome friend grinned and then leaned towards
them. "Oh and you can call me Timbus.. not to be confused with Tinbus.. Or
Bumbleduck.. which is not the same as Stumbleduck.." There was a slight
complex going on with his
Fun Size Fantasy: name but it just added to his charm.. right? With all of
them wearing the bracelet and Dakkon having stopped the beautiful music, they
could continue towards the shop unheeded.
SwordOfAtrophy: "I do, have an idea of course, that's why I'm here. Because
you have this quaint little song to pull them in and yet keep others away.
Spin it however you like, doll, but being what you hate has given me a very
clear perspective.
SwordOfAtrophy: Like how you hear a child's missing and instead of helping,
since you care oh so much, you're instead choosing to attack me for things
you have no idea about. If you're trying to clear suspicions on yourself,
you're doing a horrible
SwordOfAtrophy: job. Because I was nothing but civil when I approached."
scales shift: As Aine moved, she'd sniff around almost like she was that one
kid with a perpetual cold. Hopefully there was still a trail to follow, and
the scent hadn't been muddied up by the dozens of other children, sweet
scents and suchlike.
scales shift: [d]
lurkerinshade: Ini wasn't a fan of the perspective, but he'd get use to it.
Till then.. it was time to follow Aine around till they inevtably headed
inside, assumedly enough! Onward!-d
Of Rugged Ways: He headed for candy shop, curious to know if anything bad
was in the goodies that were being handed out. Eyeing Dakkon and the female
as he passed, he couldn't help but to grin. Eventually he found his way to
the store itself and
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The female turned when she felt a child come up
behind her to tug on her skirt and she gave a magnificent smile to the child
as it thanked her for the song and the candy and then he was off on his own
towards the Market.
Fun Size Fantasy: Then she turned back towards Dakkon and the smile faded
completely. "You come here.. asking about a child and I am unable to help
you. I don't know what you want from me. I told you I didn't know of any
missing children and that
Of Rugged Ways: stepped inside. "Hello! My friends told me that this place
is great!" A glance back towards the others, just to check on them. -e-
scales shift: Onwards and into the store! Hopfully she looked child like
enough not to get rumbled by the musical ladies .. and hopefully the vampire
guy didn't cast suspicions on them by recognizing their clothes or whatever.
The trail went
scales shift: on in, so she'd follow it. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: adults aren't allowed near our store. So unless there is
a child stealing children, I don't know what you expect from me. Should I
stop everything I'm doing to suddenly start screaming through the streets for
this missing child?"
SwordOfAtrophy: "No, but what a concerned person would do is ask who.. ask
for a description.. a time of disappearance.. act like they care more about
the childs well being rather than 'You're not allowed in our bubble." He
shrugged, as if
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The sugar-filled shop with its sweet music is full
from wall to wall with glass jars, bins and plates full of sweetmeats,
preserved fruit, gingerbread, sugared almonds, jellies, licorice,
Fun Size Fantasy: cakes, tarts and so much more. Recipes and flavors from
all over Arith all meant to look completely enticing to the innocent eye.
Signs were hanging up talking about children with costumes get free
Fun Size Fantasy: candy. In the back by the counter and a back door is a
female who looks quite similar to the ones that had been playing outside but
brunette. Her eyes ever watchful of all the children with a gleam to
Fun Size Fantasy: her pale eyes that seemed to shine red every now and then.
Her lips seemingly dry as she continued to wet them. Occasionally reminding
children it might be a good time to go home and to avoid the man
Fun Size Fantasy: up front bothering her sister.
SwordOfAtrophy: completely disgusted with how she handled it. "But no.. I
get.. the atrocities of man.. and people like you. Yea, that makes me really
eager to jump into helping people." He noticed the strangely familiar
children file in behind him
SwordOfAtrophy: but he ignored them mostly. "But, congratulations.. I now,
no longer care about the fate of this missing child. If she ends up dead, I
will happily march back to her brother and tell him that you stonewalled me.
Then you can deal
SwordOfAtrophy: with him." He turned on his heel, walking back where he
came, finding the first alley to disapear into. Maybe he'd meet that gnome,
if not, he'd try to find a way to communicate with those inside. "Are you
inside the
SwordOfAtrophy: store?"
Fun Size Fantasy: She had been about to retort when he walked away and she
was all too happy to have his kind gone. They would need to find a way to
strengthen the ward for next time perhaps. The gnome hadn't completely
gone inside yet and when
Fun Size Fantasy: he noticed the man walking away chose to follow him.
"Hey.. you really enjoy pissing off the ladies eh?"
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Btw.. those in the shop can spot/search.. both if you
choose? ]
scales shift: Once inside, it would be very .. very difficult for her to
tear her eyes away from the sheer motherload of sweet stuffs that seemed to
be covering the walls from floor to ceiling! Fortunately she didn't need her
eyes to sniff, and
scales shift: so she'd sniff sniff away while pretty much drooling. [d]
lurkerinshade: Ini-herit and Aine at least had already gone well inside the
store.. and one had to assume that as a seemingly living toy.. well certainly
it had to just be the kid of some mage! Or a costume. And yay looking around.

him. "So.. who are you?"

Of Rugged Ways: Eyeballs opened, nose perked, ears listened. What could he
find of interest. Since he couldn't read the signs, there was little point
in even looking at them. But he would search around for whatever he could
find.
OnlineHost: Of Rugged Ways rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Of Rugged Ways: (+1=19)
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] "Call me Bumbleduck. Your friends are inside..
Wanna bracelet?" He offered the man a pink one just like his own.. even if
he did look like a boy in a cat suit.
Fun Size Fantasy: Want a*
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Everyone who looks close enough will find a bag
of sweets that seem to be already paid for but just laying around left behind
- How Sad.. but hey! Free Candy!
lurkerinshade: Ini-herit grew suspicious fairly quickly spotting the child
switch out with a strangely similiar, yet different one in his place. he
chose to look a bit at the boy and try and get a read on him. [ Insight! ]
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Roll it ]
OnlineHost: lurkerinshade rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
lurkerinshade: [ +10 = 15 ]
SwordOfAtrophy: "Magical children maker, hmmm? Alright, I'm sold." He took
the bracelet and slipped it on, becoming basically the same only smaller, a
little more youthful. "Let's get this done..." He teleported to the opposite
side of the store,
SwordOfAtrophy: so he wouldn't come out of the same alley, then skipped
toward the store.
scales shift: The sheer number of scents was giving her a nasal version of a
headache, and she'd only grab a faint whiff near the counter .. so she'd
shuffle on over there, peering at the offerings intently. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: Glad that the whole group was together again when he could
help Bumbleduck slid into the store himself to start looking around for
clues. Finding one of the bags of candy, he popped one into his mouth. Oooh
blueberry.
Of Rugged Ways: Picking up the bag of candy, he pocketed it for the time
being to be inspected later. Candy everywhere! "Kathryn would love this
place." Mused softly. Pity it was a bad place. Spotting Dakkon in
childform, he snickered and
lurkerinshade: Where was a changeling when one would be infinitely useful
right then? Ah well, the ponderous dragon shuffled his feet as he looked
around a bit more. Not that anyone was going to notice a 'toy''s eyes!
Ini-herit proceded to telepat
Of Rugged Ways: waved. "Glad you could join us. Anyone see anything
interesting?" -e-
lurkerinshade: hically inform the others to what he'd seen. - There's a
strange boy here.. one of the shopkeeps sneaked off into the back with him
and this.. slightly different one came out to replace him- Directly into the
minds of the others
lurkerinshade: of their group willing to have telepathy fill their heads.
Pity he wasn't good at acting or he'd go and try to talk his childs' toy like
self into that room. -d
SwordOfAtrophy: "Lots of candy!" He said excitedly to sell the child motiff,
looking around. But the mental reply was normal enough. "The boy was
different, or the shopkeep was different?" '
lurkerinshade: -- Probably the boy I specifically said had come out to take
the others place.. -- (telepathy woo.
Of Rugged Ways: "Well yeah, duh.. but anything else.. like something no one
else has? That would be super awesome." Targeting the store keeper, he
walked over and looked up at them. "Heya, do you have anything super
special? Somethin' that I
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Seeing Aine at the counter, the brunette would
look down at the girl and then reach in to grasp at one of the madeleines
from a tray near by. "Would you like to try this little one? It's very
light and airy."
Of Rugged Ways: can show off to my friends?" And out came the biggest
hopeful grin he could muster, eyes widening just a little. -e-
scales shift: Though she didn't understand what the woman was saying, it was
clear that something tasty was being offered .. logically, what child would
turn down the offering of sweet foods? Hesitantly, as if she was a shy little
thing (actually
scales shift: true) she'd reach out and snag one, sniffing it. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The sound of the violin picked back up outside
just as the woman behind the counter turned back towards Behr this time.
Giving him a look over once Aine had taken the small buttery treat. "It
depends on what you mean by
SwordOfAtrophy: "What was he doing right before that?"
Fun Size Fantasy: special, my dear. All of our goodies are made with a
special ingredient if that's what you're asking. Would you like to try
something?" [ Spots if you're looking around! ]

lurkerinshade: -- The boy was signalling with the redhead in a green dress.
-- He specified.
Of Rugged Ways: "Well.. something.. extra extra special." He would stand up
on his tippy toes and lean as close as he could to the woman and spoke in a
kid whisper that wasn't quite a whisper. "I want to impress a friend of
mine. Yanno.. a
Of Rugged Ways: friend." -e-
scales shift: Ok she had to do it. Though maybe she shouldn't, maybe it
would give her insight into what was happening? Yeah .. that was the reason
why she bit down onto the fluffy cake like thing, not because it looked
damned tasty and she
scales shift: hadn't had a nibble in hours. [d]
SwordOfAtrophy: Watching the goings on, he made a big production about
moving around, eyeing all the candy as if searching for something. But as he
did he grew more and more desperate, like it was really important. Once he'd
looked at everything,
lurkerinshade: Well he'd seen enough to reason that something was incredibly
off about the whole thing (as if that hadn't been the case all along). What
hedid do was return himself to a closer position to Aine. -d
SwordOfAtrophy: he sniffled audibly, almost as though he was holding back
from crying. He wanted to see what was in that back room.
scales shift: Om nom nom nom. After a few hesitant bites, she found it to be
very tasty and would gobble it down, licking crumbs from her fingers. [d]
scales shift: Still licking her fingers, she'd affix herself to Ini-herit
again, though not hanging off his body she'd nevertheless leech warmth. She
kept looking at the back door, though she'd received indication that going
back there would be A
scales shift: Bad Idea. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] "You're already special enough for me, sweetling.
Why don't you try this and see if you like it?" The woman grasped at a
chocolate covered truffle since he was in costume and wanted something
special.
scales shift: She wasn't particularly good at the stealth thing, otherwise
she'd try to sneak back there .. there was always going the skink route, but
then she might get snagged up by a kid and taken home to be shoved in his
little sisters
scales shift: bed, and that would be horrifying. [d]
Of Rugged Ways: And for once that reflexive blush came in handy. Cheeks
redded, but he nodded just the same. "Sure, yeah! Thanks miss!" Taking the
chocolate, he popped it into his mouth like any other kid would, hoping like
crazy it wouldn't
Of Rugged Ways: kill him. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The sniffle caught the attention of the redhead
that had been moving around and slowly she and her green dress approached the
little boy that seemed upset. "What is it, darling? Have you been hurt by
the other children?"
lurkerinshade: Ini didn't have any particular method of trickery.. so.. the
seemingly living toy went and headed towards the back door! With Aine in tow
of course considering she'd affix'd herself to him and all! He made a point
of not just beelin
SwordOfAtrophy: "...No.." Hic. "Just.. my mommy used to make this wonderful
cherry thing, with a large blob of this white stuff on top. I thought maybe
you'd have some, but you don't. Makes me miss her a little more." He tried to
smile, a very sad
SwordOfAtrophy: I'm depressed and hurting smile.
lurkerinshade: ing for it and instead.. 'playing' with the slow zig zag with
his affix'd friend.. towards the door inevitably. Come whatever would cause
he wasn't going to just stand around forever.-d
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Winnifred looked at him a moment and then pouted.
"Oh I'm sorry pumpkin." Her fingers reached for one of the bags of candy
that had been laying around and she handed it to him. "Maybe you'll find
something you like in
Fun Size Fantasy: here though?"
SwordOfAtrophy: "Can you show me the good stuff?" He said, noting the dragon
toy guy was moving about, in the general direction of the door. The woman
didn't seem inclined to pull him back there as he'd hoped, so actions shifted
to distracting her
SwordOfAtrophy: from noticing the toy bot.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] CRASH! And Pause. Alright due to the
lateness and how much more I have to give you all I'm going to cut this now
and we can resume next week to find out what's behind the door!
lurkerinshade: [ A Drew Carey Analogue and more doors? ]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] If you did NOT pick up candy.. let me know so I
can make a note of it. and I hope you all had fun.

Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Word began to circulate about Navahla that a
wealthy citizen was looking for adventurous souls to meet with him this
Saturday evening at the Crooked Chimney Tavern for an important task that
Fun Size Fantasy: will be rewarded handsomely. The tender of the Crooked
Chimney was told to tell everyone that inquired that the meeting was to be at
6:30 and that's when people were going to be allowed to see the
Fun Size Fantasy: citizen inside his private parlor. A drink was offered on
the house for anyone who stayed long enough to hear the man out. [ Open RP ]
Fun Size Fantasy: |[10/15/2016 6:27:45 PM]|
SwordOfAtrophy: It was rather easy for one to be at a specific place at a
specific time, if one stayed in that place. Since the Crooked Chimney had
been where the tall vampire called home, or another synonym of it, word
didn't have to travel too
SwordOfAtrophy: far to reach him. So there he stood, half leaning against
the wall. Chairs had a difficult time supporting the extra weight of half
plate, after all. Drink in hand, he stared impassively at the fire with
violet eyes, waiting for the
SwordOfAtrophy: time to roll around.
lurkerinshade: By Sardior why was it growing chilly even this far south!?
Ini-herit certainly wasn't lacking in defenses given the Armor of the
Construct that transformed him into something of a living... Construct.
Between the armor and the
lurkerinshade: Cruach girl that refused to walk on her own two feet.. the
Obsidian felt rather slow indeed on this trek to the Crooked Chimney. When he
did step foot in the place it came with rather heavy thuds one would expect
when a metal man
Godless Seraph: When one was newer to the area and trying to make a name for
themselves, it was important to take opportunties as they came. It was thus
that Frost entered the Crooked Chimney, a sly grin passing along her slightly
angular features.
lurkerinshade: came into your establishment. " For the love of Sardior ..
please let this offer be lucrative.. and not boring. " He murmured, mostly
due to the promise of getting the crocodile off his back.-d
scales shift: Art had told Aine to stop lazing about the Dominus and go do
something productive .. and so she was. Ini-herit had gained the information,
and little Miss Cruach was just along for the ride. Literally. Hanging off of
Ini-herit's
Godless Seraph: The last time she had been there.... well... the night had
been far beyond entertaining for both herself, her companion, and those who
frequented the place. Green-gold eyes, flitted about a touch, her long white
and gold wings
scales shift: back meant she was dragged along, leeching a much warmth as
she could through her thick padding against the Sarkotan cold and his dratted
armor .. why he couldn't leave that back at the ship she had no idea. Eyes
were part hooded as
scales shift: they moved in, the girl retaining her grip as she watched
everything carefully .. chances were she wouldn't understand a single word,
but her handy construct-slash-carriage-slash-heatstone could translate for
her. [d]
Of Rugged Ways: In need of a break from the cold and itching for an
adventure, he'd been keen to find out what was going on. Stepping into the
Crooked Chimney, he slid past the others and found himself a spot slightly
behind Frost. Fingers
Godless Seraph: lifted a moment off her back to shift, adjust onto her
posture. The woman was tall, statuesque in a way, armored and looking every
bit an angel fallen from the heavens. Though, she wasn't really... she was
something else entirely.
Godless Seraph: Thus that gaze lifted, turned, seeking out the potential
job.
Of Rugged Ways: trailed along feathers in greetings as he adjusted the strap
that kept Matumaini secured against his back. Look liked he wasn't the only
one interested in a little fun. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Just past 6:30, a tall guard of some sort slipped
from the parlor to stand just outside the door and motion to the bartender
that it was time. The man sent his serving women to tell everyone
Fun Size Fantasy: that the meeting was about to begin. As you walk up to
the door, the guard points you just inside to where another stood holding a
sack. "Please remove all weapons and place them within this bag in
Fun Size Fantasy: order to see his lordship. Once you have done so, only you
may take out the items that you put in." The sack in the second man's hand
would prove to be a bag of holding. Anything placed inside would
Fun Size Fantasy: immediately be put away within a dimensional pocket, just
as he said. Behind them was a curtain pulled across one side of the room to
obscure the view of the person at the table beyond.

Fun Size Fantasy: ( Brb! Dog! aand sorry about that! )
SwordOfAtrophy: The announcment made, without much even looking around,
maybe a slight glance at Frost, since she was standing out amongst the crowd,
and the small cat man he remembered from a fun night, he simply stepped
across the floor to where
SwordOfAtrophy: the meeting was to be held. Unclasping the sword from his
hip, he dropped it into the bag, the gaze he gave the man was a subtle
warning of what kind of fate might await him if it wasn't in there when he
returned, then he entered
SwordOfAtrophy: the room. Time to listen to some pampered goofball cry for
help for something he couldn't do himself. It was almost sad, really.
Of Rugged Ways: Now where had he seen that vampire before? A few blinks and
then he was following the initial lead. Yet when he came to the man with the
bag, he hesitated in handing over his sword. Relucantly, he finally placed
it in and stepped
Godless Seraph: At the feel of someone touching her wings, she turned and
smiled broadly at Behr, lifting her brows and giving a wink. She was pleased
to see him. At the request to remove her weapons, the normally happy
expression turned serious
Of Rugged Ways: within the room. -e-
lurkerinshade: How a winged woman stood out more than a living construct was
no doubt a matter down to the beholder. When the manling serving on his
benefactors behalf demanded their weapons, Ini-herit looked down at his hands
then worked his jaw.
Godless Seraph: for a moment. She was considering it, though she didn't much
like it. She complied, in the end, her weapons removed and placed into the
bag, her green-gold eyes moved over the others, a quick movement before she
moved on toward
Godless Seraph: the room.
lurkerinshade: " Humans are strange. " He murmured, throwing in his staff to
hopefully placate what would easily become a whining human if not kept
docile. Did lords not know claws and fangs were rather deadly as well?
Strange humans. -d
scales shift: Having gained a translation from Ini-herit, the quiet girl
blinked her eyes slowly before burrowing a mittened hand into the depths of
her heavy coat and withdrawing a gun. It was unloaded, the item carried
purely for its other
Of Rugged Ways: The wink was comforting and had him smiling considerably in
response. Moving to her side, he bumped her shoulder. "We better get those
back." Whispered to her. -e-
scales shift: properties, and from the outside it looked quite useless. She
felt rather insecure without it, hesitating a moment before she dropped it in
with a wince, eyes gaining a silvery coating as a surge of anxiety swept up
once she lost
scales shift: contact with it. AFter she would cling to Ini-herit tighter,
the metalman taking them both forward. She'd touch the ground eventually ..
just not right now. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: Humans are strange indeed.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Once all of the weapons have been dealt with in
some manner, the two guards take the bag with them outside the door and shut
it completely. Suddenly, the curtain is grabbed from the back and
Fun Size Fantasy: yanked back to reveal the man they all came to see. He
was young, in his 20s with strong features and a no-nonsense look within his
eyes as he took in the details of the group with a few calculating
Fun Size Fantasy: sweeps of his eyes. Even in the plain clothing he was
attempting to wear it would be hard to not know that he was high society.
"Thank you so much for coming. I'm sorry to put you through all of
Fun Size Fantasy: this but I don't know you and you don't know me."
[Knowledge: Nobility, Local or Sarkotos/Navahla]
Fun Size Fantasy: [ If you want to know more on you rown.. otherwise don't
feel you have to :-P ]
OnlineHost: Godless Seraph rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
SwordOfAtrophy: "It's better that way, what do you want?" For someone with
an infinite amount of time on the planet, he wasn't much for small talk.
Especially with those who were about to ask favors.
Godless Seraph: +5 (Breadth of Experience) +5 (Gallant) = 28
scales shift: Eyes focused on the upper class toff like person, reacting as
soon as Ini-herit filtered the translation to her. She didn't say anything in
response, but the man had her attention. [d]
lurkerinshade: " Its weird to fear weapons when there are dragons and
golems.. " Ini-herit said lowly.. just because it was strange to him.
Especially when not everyone used physical weapons! Why was he still on that
subject? He was pondering! -d
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The young man smiled, took another sip at his
drink and then moved to stand up. Giving Aine and Frost a wink, he would
clasp both hands behind his back with his legs spread slightly apart.
Fun Size Fantasy: "It is not fear as much a symbol of truce while we are
within this room. Not to mention, it would be incredibly rude to ask you to
remove body parts just to have a conversation."
lurkerinshade: " Then its good I didn't come with the staff grafted to my
arm again.. " -d
scales shift: The wink merited a blink, and the girl dropped an inch or two
so that most of Ini-herit was obscuring her. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] His attention slid toward Dakkon now that the
response had been given ((And I stopped being a derp to Frost)). "I need you
to find someone for me. My sister, Thora, has gone missing. And before you
get it in your head
Fun Size Fantasy: that I'm just being lazy to not go after her myself. Hear
me out." He could handle being blunt if it got them interested and on their
way to do what he wanted. "My family has received no ransom or note thus far
which means whoever
Fun Size Fantasy: has her may not know whom they have. The reason I cannot
start search any farther myself is because I cannot bring unwanted attention
to her disappearance and cause alarm within the Rambles or bring such
attention to my family if
Fun Size Fantasy: it is not required."
Godless Seraph: Frost tilted her head, flashing a smile at the Lord Edward
Gaheris, her gaze narrowing slightly as she considered him. Her wings
fluttered a touch, interesting tid-bit on the man, his sister? Her arms
crossed over her chest as she
Godless Seraph: glanced around at the others.
Of Rugged Ways: The exchange between them all fascinated him and he couldn't
help staring at the individuals that were.. stranger than most. Like the
giant metal man. "How do you know she didn't just run off with her lover?"
That sounded rather
Fun Size Fantasy: ---"She's 8."
Of Rugged Ways: romantic to him.. the dreamer that he was. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: With a look of frustration, his fingers moved from behind
him to dig into his jacket pocket to pull out a small ornate frame to hold
out to all of them. Inside was an expertly drawn portrait of a little girl
with banana curls and
Of Rugged Ways: Well that caught his attention. "Well why didn't you say so
sooner? We need to find her." Leave it to Behr to go all mother hen. "What
are we waiting for?" Inexperience talking there. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: bright green eyes holding a stuffed dragon tight. He
held it out for anyone to take it and have a look.
SwordOfAtrophy: Wouldn't stop some people. "If they aren't after ransom,
then I suggest steeling yourself for the worst, because it's likely she
wasn't taken on a whim." He eyed it from where he was, no need to trip over
everyone looking. "Where
SwordOfAtrophy: was she taken from?"
lurkerinshade: Was there another metal man there that was a giant? Certainly
wasn't Ini-herit, at five-foot,five he certainly wasn't giant. Ini-herit
glanced over the portrait though wound up putting plenty
lurkerinshade: more attention on the Lordling himself. Body language and the
like went a long way to knowing how the man actually felt about it and the
situation at hand right? [ Insight check? ]
scales shift: "Yinvets .." Near silent mutter voiced when she clocked the
picture of the girl, who was indeed to her eyes, cute. So was the stuffed toy
for that matter, she hoped it was still around. Deep inhale would be pulled
in, though she
Godless Seraph: It seemed she and Dakkon were of the same accord, her stance
shifted as he asked his question about where she was taken from. "And, is
there anyone in your circle that is suddenly acting strangely?" She didn't
like the ideaof a
scales shift: doubted that she would be able to catch a scent .. mittened
hand tapped at Ini-herit's shoulder to gain his attention, leaning over and
muttering something in his ear. [d]
Godless Seraph: young girl being coaxed off or kidnapped, but there was
information that needed to be considered before rushing off. Softly she
tugged on Behr's wrist, making sure he was still paying attention and not
distracted.
Fun Size Fantasy: "She and her nursemaid, Sally, were headed to Amelia Park
to enjoy yesterday afternoon weather. They were dressed down for playtime.
Sally stopped at one of the fruit vendors along the southern side of Market
Square and one second
Fun Size Fantasy: they were chatting about what snack to buy and the next
Thora was nowhere to be found. I went myself into the Square but I'm not
exactly unknown within this city." (And yes you can )

lurkerinshade: [+5 Awareness (Psion Bonus), +5 Incredible Insight = 21 ]
Of Rugged Ways: He wasn't distracted at all, just not the brightest with
asking questions. When someone went missing back home, it was scent and
tracking that quickly followed. And yes the metal man was huge to him..
considering he didn't know
Of Rugged Ways: anything made of metal could even be that big.. and walk and
talk, even if he was shorter than the feline. -e-
lurkerinshade: He listened to Aine at the request before looking the man's
way. " Do you have anything likely to hold her scent? Tracking and all. " -d
SwordOfAtrophy: His instinct was to go grill the fruit vendor, but if they
could bypass that hum drum boring part and use others noses, that was fine
too.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] "None acting more strangely than usual if that's
what you mean. Taking Thora without a ransom is.. pointless." At the ask
about a token or something, there was a look of remembrance and he reached
into his pocket to take
Fun Size Fantasy: out a small silk ribbon and hand it across to the male and
his companion.
Fun Size Fantasy: at the asking*
scales shift: Aine would reach down and gank the ribbon from Ini-herit,
bringing it up and taking a good sniff of it. If she encountered the scent
again (scent skill), she would recognize it. Once she was sure she had it,
she'd dangle it back for
scales shift: the man to take. [d]
SwordOfAtrophy: Nothing was pointless, some people would take a small girl
for reasons he wouldn't voice to the man himself, such was the darkness in
men. But they had a point to start, so he moved to the door, seeking an exit
to find the man who
SwordOfAtrophy: held the bag and retrieve it.
OnlineHost: Godless Seraph has left the room.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:[ he watched with some fascination as he saw the
girl sniff the ribbon but then he smiled and retrieved the ribbon to place it
back within his pocket. "If that is all.. as for the reward.. Gems and gold
will suffice I hope?
Fun Size Fantasy: I might be able to work on something more if not."
Fun Size Fantasy: |[10/15/2016 7:19:06 PM]|
OnlineHost: astraI phantom has entered the room.
Of Rugged Ways: "Apparently the talk of payment will come later."
Considering out went the vampire. Behr was quick on his heels, itching to
find the girl as well. Not only for the promise of the reward, but for the
girl herself. Poor thing must
Of Rugged Ways: be terrified.. if she was still alive. -e-
lurkerinshade: As a dragon.. he happened to have a desire to hoard gems and
gold. " Both is good.. " Alas he wasn't the diplomantic bargainer type.
Someone else could do that.. or they could go.. that worked to? -d
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The guards seeing the two men walking out held out
the bag for them to retrieve their weapons as they went. Edward looked a
little strangely at the departing men's backs and then nodded to Ini-herit.
"Good Hunting. "
SwordOfAtrophy: He didn't care for riches, he came because he was bored.. if
they wanted to haggle over how much, he didn't care one way or the other. He
left people to do what they wished, as he did for himself.
scales shift: Aine would reach over and fish her hand through the bag,
making contact with her pistol. She'd visibly relax some once it was back in
her possession, the item disappearing into the multiple layers of her
cold-weather closet. [d]
Of Rugged Ways: Reclaiming Matumaini, he secured it to his back and paused
long enough to make sure the others were ready to depart before actually
moving further. "Shall we start with the vender, then?" -e-
SwordOfAtrophy: He retrieved his sword, finding the comfort in having it
again. Onward to the park, the vendors where the girl was last seen. "Seems a
good enough spot as any."
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The Crooked Chimney is just off the Market Square
on the Eastern side. On the southern side, you can find stalls for all kinds
of wares including food vendors. It seems to be a busy section
Fun Size Fantasy: with lots of people moving around, especially children. [
Spot, Listen, Gather Info... Aine will get something for scent ]
scales shift: Aine wasn't as familiar with Sarkotos as others may have been,
so she would wait until some progress had been made to the park mentioned
previously before she'd make any independant moves herself. [d]
scales shift: And there they were! Face was as masked as ever as she
disengaged - however reluctantly - from the metalline man, stuffing mittened
hands in her pockets to stave off the cold as she shuffled around, taking a
sniff every now and then
scales shift: in the hopes of catching a scent. What had Ini-herit said .. ?
Near the fruit vendors and something about a tree .. [d]
lurkerinshade: Retrieving his staff earned the weapon a slide into the thing
on his back beneath the clinging Aine to contain it (and leave his hands
free). The existing matter left Ini turning his keen senses towards the
matter they'd come to
lurkerinshade: unravel. [ Spot check. ]

the girl shuffling off near the honeyed figs vendor
(don'tgetdistracteddon'tgetdistracted), and shambling off to the side where
she thought it led away to. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Everyone should have gotten a response by now ]
Of Rugged Ways: Perking, he noticed that almost every child around had candy
of some sort or another. Not to mention they were all carrying bags with the
same drawing on them. His head tilted as a couple came from a side street.
"I would suggest
Of Rugged Ways: that we look into the candy bags. Isn't it a little odd
that every youngling has one? Surely they can't afford such." But maybe
they were all rich. Who knew. -e-
SwordOfAtrophy: "I was told a new candy store opened in town." Though Behr
made an excellent point, not every child could be either well off, or have
lenient enough guardians for such candy. "Seems like a decent place to start,
if our little nose
SwordOfAtrophy: here hasn't got a better option."
scales shift: Aine would just be walking off to one of the corners that led
away from the square, sniffing away. Too far away to hear, and unable to
understand common even if she was in range. Unless Ini-herit used his long
range telepathy
OnlineHost: astraI phantom has left the room.
lurkerinshade: Ini-herit had acknowledged about the same through his own
means. Through a little telepathy (yay psion) he shared his findings with
Aine in order to keep her in the loop. And of course anything she wanted to
share with him. ]
lurkerinshade: -d*
scales shift: anyway, then she'd just point, and maybe it would be near the
aforementioned sweetie shop? [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] When you take a look down the street that your

a lullaby while using a frame drum. [ If you understand Sylvan, I

Don't get any closer or you'll regret it!" [ If he wishes to continue
though.. let me know ]
SwordOfAtrophy: Pfft, if he stopped at every ominous voice threatening
him... he'd be rich. Or.. however that phrase went. He continued on,
undaunted.
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Roll me a WLP Check ]

infested area down the way .. she wasn't that keen on small spaces filled

came a voice, and he perked, eyes narrowing towards the shadows.

another, so coming from the shadows wouldn't have her looking. Just standing

Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Ini-Herit/Behr - The shadows move nearby and you
can tell it's a small black cat that came from the spot of the voice.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Slowly a black cat comes out of the shadows to hop
up onto a barrel and gives them all a look with its amber colored eyes.
"That guy just walked right into the ward that keeps adults away but
Fun Size Fantasy: I know how to get you through." He looked between the
members of the group a moment and then hopped back down to get something from
where he'd been hiding near the stall. Instead of a cat returning
Fun Size Fantasy: it turned out to be a male gnome wearing nothing but a
black velvet cloak around his person and bright green hair stepped out with a
bag in one hand and a pink bracelet in the other. "I have some
Fun Size Fantasy: bracelets here that would let you guys get past the ward
and able to get closer to the shop if you're interested?"
Of Rugged Ways: That had his brow arching. What more was this small cat?
For as as shifter, he knew well that looks could easily change along with
strength and other physical attributes. Sure enough the cat became a gnome..
and one that seemed
lurkerinshade: Was that a cat? He reasoned so.. had the little beast spoke?
He'd seen stranger things.. but he also had the means to not be obvious about
things! Course when you ran into a green haired little person.. what use was

Of Rugged Ways: interested in helping them. The question now became the
feline's motive. "How do we know we can trust you?" -e-

snack. - Yes. - (telepathy, yay!) -d
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] For breaking the ward -- The two ladies in the
front of the sweets shop stop playing completely and start motioning for the
children to get away from the man. "Your kind is not welcome here, love.
Please leave."
Fun Size Fantasy: The one with the violin turned and immediately went inside
the shop where the others were to tell them that they had company.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] (Back to the others) "Gnomes are very
trustworthy creatures. Don't believe me? Just ask us!" That comment had
him cackling a little bit. "You can either trust me or not trust me but I've
been waiting for someone else

day. I have to get in the shop but it's scary being near all that sugar by

SwordOfAtrophy: He eyed her impassively. "My kind? What kind is that? Man,
adult, vampire.. asshole.." He held his arms out. "From what I see, your kind
seems to be causing all the issues. Luring children here with song, magic to
keep their parents
SwordOfAtrophy: away. Very suspicious.." And contributing to the childhood
obesity problem! He did not add because he had no idea what that was.
Of Rugged Ways: "Do you know what's going on inside?" Might as well ask.
The little fellow did seem trust worthy enough. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] She continued to eye Dakkon for a few moments as
the children inside were all told they had to go home because they wouldn't
risk their safety with a mean man just outside. "All of the above? We're
just humble bakers and
Fun Size Fantasy: candymakers wanting to bring joy to the children after the
horrible even that happened last month. Many lost parents in that spider
catastrophe." [Spot if you want, Dakkon]

Fun Size Fantasy: --- The gnome eyed the young one a moment and then
shrugged. "I know that a lot of kids are getting all kinds of candy but I'm
not sure all of them are coming back out."
Of Rugged Ways: "I'm in. There is something obviously wrong here and we
need to figure it out." Wait what? He's a dragon? Behr paused in thought
to regard the metalman even more curiously now. Back to the gnome! "We have
knowledge of at least
Of Rugged Ways: one missing child, so I feel you are probably right." -e-
SwordOfAtrophy: "Really now? Well it just so happens, that I'm here because
a very concerned big brother lost his little sister yesterday in this very
vicinity. So, you have two options.. you can tell me what you know about it,
and we'll see how it
scales shift: After Ini-herit translated for Aine's benefit, she'd nod her
head to indicate that she was on board. [d]
SwordOfAtrophy: goes. Or you can continue to play innocent, and find out
what judgement means..." Though the tone was unerringly dark, he was still
talking as though he was having a normal conversation.
Fun Size Fantasy: "I have knowledge of another myself. So that makes at
least two. I've been waiting to go in and I know if I do that it might cause
problems. Though your friend has them in a tizzy it seems." His eyes turned
towards the corner and
Fun Size Fantasy: then he moved to place several bracelets on the barrel he
had sat on briefly. "The magic in the bracelets can get you across the ward
without having to worry about the magic that it does.. but the disguise that
I worked on may not
Fun Size Fantasy: be needed anymore." Silly rings of autonomy!
Of Rugged Ways: "Thank you." Picking up the bracelets, he handed one to his
companions, first the metaldragon, then Aine. "Are you still picking up her
scent?" Asked of the female, unaware that she wouldn't be able to understand
him. The
Of Rugged Ways: bracelet was then slipped onto his wrist. -e-
scales shift: Bracelet accepted, she'd tilt her head slightly with confusion
until Ini-herit sent her the translation, and then sniffed in response. If
the girl had passed through that way Aine would pick it up, hopefully. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: --DM:] (And yes pink.. ) Give me just a minute there
Dakkon
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] he placed the pink bracelet from earlier onto his
wrist and closed the clasp. It caused the air to shimmer around him as he
changed. The gnome had to grow taller to be a human child but his
Fun Size Fantasy: features and everything slowly morphed with him as the
black cloak because a cat suit complete with fake tail and a pair of fake
ears on top of his head. He gave a laugh and waved as he headed
Fun Size Fantasy: straight for the ward line and passed across. Turning
back to his new friends and waving them through. Putting the bracelet on
yourself won't hurt. If anything there might be a tickling sensation on your
Fun Size Fantasy: skin as you become a child version of yourself. Weapons,
shields, and armor all become "Play" versions of themselves (but all the
bonuses still work!) Metal weapons become wooden, jewels become
Fun Size Fantasy: paste.
lurkerinshade: A bracelet selected and applied prior to turning his
attention to the antics of their errant comrade. After which .. well..
Ini-herit wasn't too keen on suddenly widing up a living toy though.. (living
construct.. haha). Well he was
scales shift: Aine was on the cusp between child and adult, but in this
instance she would definitely become a younger version of herself: no longer
straddling the line! Cute as a button with wide eyes, darker freckles and
fluffier hair once the
lurkerinshade: not against following the gnome all the same. It wasn't the
first time he'd been reduced to a tiny size... at the bidding of a gnome both
times no less! -d
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Ini-herit toys for Yuletide! Every child will want one!
]
scales shift: bracelet was slapped on, as well as losing a foot or two in
height. Fun times .. hopefully her crocodilian shape would be just as adorbs.
[d]
lurkerinshade: [ careful. He bites
]scales shift: (( i want three! ))
scales shift: Course at some point she'd look down, notice the distinct lack
of bump on her chest and sigh wistfully, a sly glance then passed to the
gnome, wondering if she could keep the braclet .. either way, she'd wait for
the others to move
scales shift: forward before shuffling off. [d]
Of Rugged Ways: Daw. Poor Behr became that much more scrawny as he shrank
into that awkward gangly frame. Was he.. pouting? LIttle else changed, he
still looked Behrish only younger. Now he looked pathetic.. more so than
usual. Bleh.
Of Rugged Ways: He followed behind Ini-herit and Aine, eyes drifting towards
Dakkon. This would prove interesting. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The female looked Dakkon over for a minute having
never seen his companions down the street. "I'm sorry to hear that a child
is missing but do you have any idea the number of children that we
Fun Size Fantasy: see on a daily basis right now?" Her hand waved to the
store behind her and down the street towards all the other children that were
milling about. "We try to keep adults away so that this is a
Fun Size Fantasy: safe place for the children but beyond our border we are
unable to stop the atrocities of men such as you.." Obviously there was a
bit of hate involved when it came to vampires now that he had pointed
Fun Size Fantasy: himself out.
Fun Size Fantasy: --- Their gnome friend grinned and then leaned towards
them. "Oh and you can call me Timbus.. not to be confused with Tinbus.. Or
Bumbleduck.. which is not the same as Stumbleduck.." There was a slight
complex going on with his
Fun Size Fantasy: name but it just added to his charm.. right? With all of
them wearing the bracelet and Dakkon having stopped the beautiful music, they
could continue towards the shop unheeded.
SwordOfAtrophy: "I do, have an idea of course, that's why I'm here. Because
you have this quaint little song to pull them in and yet keep others away.
Spin it however you like, doll, but being what you hate has given me a very
clear perspective.
SwordOfAtrophy: Like how you hear a child's missing and instead of helping,
since you care oh so much, you're instead choosing to attack me for things
you have no idea about. If you're trying to clear suspicions on yourself,
you're doing a horrible
SwordOfAtrophy: job. Because I was nothing but civil when I approached."
scales shift: As Aine moved, she'd sniff around almost like she was that one
kid with a perpetual cold. Hopefully there was still a trail to follow, and
the scent hadn't been muddied up by the dozens of other children, sweet
scents and suchlike.
scales shift: [d]
lurkerinshade: Ini wasn't a fan of the perspective, but he'd get use to it.
Till then.. it was time to follow Aine around till they inevtably headed
inside, assumedly enough! Onward!-d
Of Rugged Ways: He headed for candy shop, curious to know if anything bad
was in the goodies that were being handed out. Eyeing Dakkon and the female
as he passed, he couldn't help but to grin. Eventually he found his way to
the store itself and
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The female turned when she felt a child come up
behind her to tug on her skirt and she gave a magnificent smile to the child
as it thanked her for the song and the candy and then he was off on his own
towards the Market.
Fun Size Fantasy: Then she turned back towards Dakkon and the smile faded
completely. "You come here.. asking about a child and I am unable to help
you. I don't know what you want from me. I told you I didn't know of any
missing children and that
Of Rugged Ways: stepped inside. "Hello! My friends told me that this place
is great!" A glance back towards the others, just to check on them. -e-
scales shift: Onwards and into the store! Hopfully she looked child like
enough not to get rumbled by the musical ladies .. and hopefully the vampire
guy didn't cast suspicions on them by recognizing their clothes or whatever.
The trail went
scales shift: on in, so she'd follow it. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: adults aren't allowed near our store. So unless there is
a child stealing children, I don't know what you expect from me. Should I
stop everything I'm doing to suddenly start screaming through the streets for
this missing child?"
SwordOfAtrophy: "No, but what a concerned person would do is ask who.. ask
for a description.. a time of disappearance.. act like they care more about
the childs well being rather than 'You're not allowed in our bubble." He
shrugged, as if
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The sugar-filled shop with its sweet music is full
from wall to wall with glass jars, bins and plates full of sweetmeats,
preserved fruit, gingerbread, sugared almonds, jellies, licorice,
Fun Size Fantasy: cakes, tarts and so much more. Recipes and flavors from
all over Arith all meant to look completely enticing to the innocent eye.
Signs were hanging up talking about children with costumes get free
Fun Size Fantasy: candy. In the back by the counter and a back door is a
female who looks quite similar to the ones that had been playing outside but
brunette. Her eyes ever watchful of all the children with a gleam to
Fun Size Fantasy: her pale eyes that seemed to shine red every now and then.
Her lips seemingly dry as she continued to wet them. Occasionally reminding
children it might be a good time to go home and to avoid the man
Fun Size Fantasy: up front bothering her sister.
SwordOfAtrophy: completely disgusted with how she handled it. "But no.. I
get.. the atrocities of man.. and people like you. Yea, that makes me really
eager to jump into helping people." He noticed the strangely familiar
children file in behind him
SwordOfAtrophy: but he ignored them mostly. "But, congratulations.. I now,
no longer care about the fate of this missing child. If she ends up dead, I
will happily march back to her brother and tell him that you stonewalled me.
Then you can deal
SwordOfAtrophy: with him." He turned on his heel, walking back where he
came, finding the first alley to disapear into. Maybe he'd meet that gnome,
if not, he'd try to find a way to communicate with those inside. "Are you
inside the
SwordOfAtrophy: store?"
Fun Size Fantasy: She had been about to retort when he walked away and she
was all too happy to have his kind gone. They would need to find a way to
strengthen the ward for next time perhaps. The gnome hadn't completely
gone inside yet and when
Fun Size Fantasy: he noticed the man walking away chose to follow him.
"Hey.. you really enjoy pissing off the ladies eh?"
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Btw.. those in the shop can spot/search.. both if you
choose? ]
scales shift: Once inside, it would be very .. very difficult for her to
tear her eyes away from the sheer motherload of sweet stuffs that seemed to
be covering the walls from floor to ceiling! Fortunately she didn't need her
eyes to sniff, and
scales shift: so she'd sniff sniff away while pretty much drooling. [d]
lurkerinshade: Ini-herit and Aine at least had already gone well inside the
store.. and one had to assume that as a seemingly living toy.. well certainly
it had to just be the kid of some mage! Or a costume. And yay looking around.

threw down enough red flags for a parade." He turned to eye the gnome behind
him. "So.. who are you?"

Of Rugged Ways: Eyeballs opened, nose perked, ears listened. What could he
find of interest. Since he couldn't read the signs, there was little point
in even looking at them. But he would search around for whatever he could
find.
OnlineHost: Of Rugged Ways rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
Of Rugged Ways: (+1=19)
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] "Call me Bumbleduck. Your friends are inside..
Wanna bracelet?" He offered the man a pink one just like his own.. even if
he did look like a boy in a cat suit.
Fun Size Fantasy: Want a*
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Everyone who looks close enough will find a bag
of sweets that seem to be already paid for but just laying around left behind
- How Sad.. but hey! Free Candy!
lurkerinshade: Ini-herit grew suspicious fairly quickly spotting the child
switch out with a strangely similiar, yet different one in his place. he
chose to look a bit at the boy and try and get a read on him. [ Insight! ]
Fun Size Fantasy: [ Roll it ]
OnlineHost: lurkerinshade rolled 1 20-sided die: 5
lurkerinshade: [ +10 = 15 ]
SwordOfAtrophy: "Magical children maker, hmmm? Alright, I'm sold." He took
the bracelet and slipped it on, becoming basically the same only smaller, a
little more youthful. "Let's get this done..." He teleported to the opposite
side of the store,
SwordOfAtrophy: so he wouldn't come out of the same alley, then skipped
toward the store.
scales shift: The sheer number of scents was giving her a nasal version of a
headache, and she'd only grab a faint whiff near the counter .. so she'd
shuffle on over there, peering at the offerings intently. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: Glad that the whole group was together again when he could
help Bumbleduck slid into the store himself to start looking around for
clues. Finding one of the bags of candy, he popped one into his mouth. Oooh
blueberry.
Of Rugged Ways: Picking up the bag of candy, he pocketed it for the time
being to be inspected later. Candy everywhere! "Kathryn would love this
place." Mused softly. Pity it was a bad place. Spotting Dakkon in
childform, he snickered and
lurkerinshade: Where was a changeling when one would be infinitely useful
right then? Ah well, the ponderous dragon shuffled his feet as he looked
around a bit more. Not that anyone was going to notice a 'toy''s eyes!
Ini-herit proceded to telepat
Of Rugged Ways: waved. "Glad you could join us. Anyone see anything
interesting?" -e-
lurkerinshade: hically inform the others to what he'd seen. - There's a
strange boy here.. one of the shopkeeps sneaked off into the back with him
and this.. slightly different one came out to replace him- Directly into the
minds of the others
lurkerinshade: of their group willing to have telepathy fill their heads.
Pity he wasn't good at acting or he'd go and try to talk his childs' toy like
self into that room. -d
SwordOfAtrophy: "Lots of candy!" He said excitedly to sell the child motiff,
looking around. But the mental reply was normal enough. "The boy was
different, or the shopkeep was different?" '
lurkerinshade: -- Probably the boy I specifically said had come out to take
the others place.. -- (telepathy woo.
Of Rugged Ways: "Well yeah, duh.. but anything else.. like something no one
else has? That would be super awesome." Targeting the store keeper, he
walked over and looked up at them. "Heya, do you have anything super
special? Somethin' that I
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Seeing Aine at the counter, the brunette would
look down at the girl and then reach in to grasp at one of the madeleines
from a tray near by. "Would you like to try this little one? It's very
light and airy."
Of Rugged Ways: can show off to my friends?" And out came the biggest
hopeful grin he could muster, eyes widening just a little. -e-
scales shift: Though she didn't understand what the woman was saying, it was
clear that something tasty was being offered .. logically, what child would
turn down the offering of sweet foods? Hesitantly, as if she was a shy little
thing (actually
scales shift: true) she'd reach out and snag one, sniffing it. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The sound of the violin picked back up outside
just as the woman behind the counter turned back towards Behr this time.
Giving him a look over once Aine had taken the small buttery treat. "It
depends on what you mean by
SwordOfAtrophy: "What was he doing right before that?"
Fun Size Fantasy: special, my dear. All of our goodies are made with a
special ingredient if that's what you're asking. Would you like to try
something?" [ Spots if you're looking around! ]

lurkerinshade: [ note the -- is just what I use to indicate use of
telepathy.]
lurkerinshade: -- The boy was signalling with the redhead in a green dress.
-- He specified.
Of Rugged Ways: "Well.. something.. extra extra special." He would stand up
on his tippy toes and lean as close as he could to the woman and spoke in a
kid whisper that wasn't quite a whisper. "I want to impress a friend of
mine. Yanno.. a
Of Rugged Ways: friend." -e-
scales shift: Ok she had to do it. Though maybe she shouldn't, maybe it
would give her insight into what was happening? Yeah .. that was the reason
why she bit down onto the fluffy cake like thing, not because it looked
damned tasty and she
scales shift: hadn't had a nibble in hours. [d]
SwordOfAtrophy: Watching the goings on, he made a big production about
moving around, eyeing all the candy as if searching for something. But as he
did he grew more and more desperate, like it was really important. Once he'd
looked at everything,
lurkerinshade: Well he'd seen enough to reason that something was incredibly
off about the whole thing (as if that hadn't been the case all along). What
hedid do was return himself to a closer position to Aine. -d
SwordOfAtrophy: he sniffled audibly, almost as though he was holding back
from crying. He wanted to see what was in that back room.
scales shift: Om nom nom nom. After a few hesitant bites, she found it to be
very tasty and would gobble it down, licking crumbs from her fingers. [d]
scales shift: Still licking her fingers, she'd affix herself to Ini-herit
again, though not hanging off his body she'd nevertheless leech warmth. She
kept looking at the back door, though she'd received indication that going
back there would be A
scales shift: Bad Idea. [d]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] "You're already special enough for me, sweetling.
Why don't you try this and see if you like it?" The woman grasped at a
chocolate covered truffle since he was in costume and wanted something
special.
scales shift: She wasn't particularly good at the stealth thing, otherwise
she'd try to sneak back there .. there was always going the skink route, but
then she might get snagged up by a kid and taken home to be shoved in his
little sisters
scales shift: bed, and that would be horrifying. [d]
Of Rugged Ways: And for once that reflexive blush came in handy. Cheeks
redded, but he nodded just the same. "Sure, yeah! Thanks miss!" Taking the
chocolate, he popped it into his mouth like any other kid would, hoping like
crazy it wouldn't
Of Rugged Ways: kill him. -e-
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] The sniffle caught the attention of the redhead
that had been moving around and slowly she and her green dress approached the
little boy that seemed upset. "What is it, darling? Have you been hurt by
the other children?"
lurkerinshade: Ini didn't have any particular method of trickery.. so.. the
seemingly living toy went and headed towards the back door! With Aine in tow
of course considering she'd affix'd herself to him and all! He made a point
of not just beelin
SwordOfAtrophy: "...No.." Hic. "Just.. my mommy used to make this wonderful
cherry thing, with a large blob of this white stuff on top. I thought maybe
you'd have some, but you don't. Makes me miss her a little more." He tried to
smile, a very sad
SwordOfAtrophy: I'm depressed and hurting smile.
lurkerinshade: ing for it and instead.. 'playing' with the slow zig zag with
his affix'd friend.. towards the door inevitably. Come whatever would cause
he wasn't going to just stand around forever.-d
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] Winnifred looked at him a moment and then pouted.
"Oh I'm sorry pumpkin." Her fingers reached for one of the bags of candy
that had been laying around and she handed it to him. "Maybe you'll find
something you like in
Fun Size Fantasy: here though?"
SwordOfAtrophy: "Can you show me the good stuff?" He said, noting the dragon
toy guy was moving about, in the general direction of the door. The woman
didn't seem inclined to pull him back there as he'd hoped, so actions shifted
to distracting her
SwordOfAtrophy: from noticing the toy bot.
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] CRASH! And Pause. Alright due to the
lateness and how much more I have to give you all I'm going to cut this now
and we can resume next week to find out what's behind the door!
lurkerinshade: [ A Drew Carey Analogue and more doors? ]
Fun Size Fantasy: ---DM:] If you did NOT pick up candy.. let me know so I
can make a note of it. and I hope you all had fun.
