OnlineHost: FlyteofColour has entered the room.

Tesarik One: The village of Butter Hollow in Sarkotos is under attack! From

the depths of Graydown Marble Mine, hordes of giant ants have appeared. They

are raiding the farms, even carrying off small livestock and

Tesarik One: attacking the miners, leaving carnage in their wake. They have

overtaken the area, and the call has been put out to OH to come and save

them. The residents are afraid to leave their homes! So, with

Tesarik One: help from the Port Union, Maria has arranged travel through

portal to the village of Butter Hollow. The portal stands open, and all who

are able are asked to assist. (Begin RP)

Tesarik One: (State to add Flyte if you wish to attend.)

Ashton Locke: Giant ants! Well that just sounded too crazy to pass up the

chance to see 'em in action. And stop them, of course, but mostly he was

curious as to what in the world they actually looked like, as he couldn't

remember having actually

Ashton Locke: seen any before. So he made himself available for this

particularly mission, then headed on through the portal soon as everyone was

gathered up! He also condensed a bunch of water vapor around himself to give

him a bit of protection

Ashton Locke: in case it was necessary. (Spell: Water Shield, 4 point damage

absorb)

Onyx Dalliance: Holly had taken a very short vacation from adventuring and

was finally back in the mood for doing so.She was walking very slowly in the

direction of the portal,wearing a dark blue set of chain mail and plates

protecting her back

Onyx Dalliance: there was a slight green shine to her armor. On her back

was a dark red two-handed katana held in place by a rope. Her trademark fur

fake cat ears resting on the top of her head very lightly. She made her way

right through the

Onyx Dalliance: portal without a single word.

Tesarik One: Spell noted.

legacy of rain: Giant ants sounded relatively safe compared to...oh...demons

and such, let's say. John had only just come out of retirement, so to speak,

so he wasn't sure if he'd be able to handle anything too crazy. After

checking over his

legacy of rain: weapon and what little gear he possessed, he joined the

others at the gathering point. A curious glance was taken as he noted the

other party members, then followed them through the portal to reach the

village. He expected to see

a halcyon calm: Halcyon followed behind Dorian, the wild and quite feral

druid wearing very little in the way of formal clothing but instead had her

leafweave armor tied around her body. She wasn't at all looking forward to

having to hurt ants, but

scales change: Giant Ants.. the Obsidian Heart had gone from searching for

the sanctuaries of a supposed God to playing at pest control. Much too

ridiculous not to come along to discover if there was more to this to garner

Maria sending a group to

a halcyon calm: if she had to, she would.... or she could try to talk to

them! She had big plans on just chatting with the ants and ending the

situation, so a little grin was on her dirty face as she followed to the

portal.

legacy of rain: some giant ants as soon as they arrived. ( Diehard +5 HP )

Tesarik One: Noted. Added.

scales change: deal with such a seemingly minor nuisance. Onward through the

usual portal and destination arrival.. -d

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Well a giant ant infestation just had him shaking his

head but was making his way for the portal, a touch to his chest tapping into

the arcane and with that touch he was casting the Cat's Grace spell. Hey

giant ants,..he might

Nobilis Arcanus: need to have a bit more agility and speed one could never

know! (Casting Cat's Grace, +2 Quickness State boost, Duration of adventure)

a halcyon calm: Just in case, she muttered in druidic and a small set of

stag antlers grew from her head as she invoked the spirit of the stag for

some quickness. (Spell: Aspect of the Stag - +1 Quickness)

Tesarik One: Noted for both.

Tesarik One: Kythin 0/42 [22] || Nani 0/38 [22] || Halcyon 0/26 [18] (0/18)

Onyx Dalliance: Holly started walking next to John, figuring that he would

make a decent partner and she looked at him with a blank expression." Let's

work together." Absolutely no emotion to her voice.

No True Form: ~She just followed Rhyss, she figured if he was willing to

deal with some oversized pest control issues then she didn't mind doing so as

well. Silently she remained toward the back even as she moved through the

portal sliding her

No True Form: eyes around at the group for the evening~ (D)

legacy of rain: John couldn't help but stare at the casters while they

tapped into their magic. Especially the female who sported antlers while she

cast her spell. Then his attention was drawn towards the one who addressed

him. "Sure thing, but

legacy of rain: aren't we all supposed to work together?" He questioned with

a small tilt of his head.

Tesarik One: Ahead of you, you all see a small village, nestled in a

tree-lined valley. There are fields surrounding the village, but as the hills

to either side rise, the fields end to become pine forests. Beyond

Tesarik One: the village a path can be seen winding up to a large quarry

where it appears that marble is mined. As you all enter the village it is

also noticed that most of the buildings are made of marble

Tesarik One: (though the roofs are thatched). The village is not bustling

like normal, and villagers peer out of their windows as the group enters the

village. Standing outside the local inne, Hollow's Rest, is one of

Tesarik One: the leaders of town waiting for the group. A man in his late

50's, greying hair, with a frown upon his face.

a halcyon calm: Halcyon lifted her fingers and trailed along her new antlers

with a grin, then she turned her gaze to each of those with the group. Some

she knew, some not so well. One, she'd never seen in her life. Maria's outfit

did tend to have

a halcyon calm: quite a colorful grouping. As the feral woman could not

speak common she tended to stay near Dorian since he could speak Feral and

communicate with her.

Ashton Locke: He offered reassuring smiles and waves to some of the folks

peeking out at them, then turned to look to the others in his own group. They

all got a good brief staring at and a wave to anyone who caught him in the

act. "I do believe

Onyx Dalliance: She nodded expressionlessly to John and she remained

relatively silent. there was a red dog collar around her neck with a silver

chain. She was absolutely lacking emotion.

Ashton Locke: that Halcyon here wants to try and resolve the issue with the

ants diplomatically first, if you could all at least refrain from attacking

any of them when spotted until we know whether it will not be possible or

not, I'm sure she

Ashton Locke: will appreciate it."

legacy of rain: In the end, John couldn't help but point to the woman's

antlers. "That...is so cool." He said with a broad grin. Even if she couldn't

understand him, hopefully she'd realize he was giving her a compliment. Then

he quieted, since

legacy of rain: they had an issue to resolve here. He offered the woman next

to him, Holly, a grin as well. Then turned his attention to the man who

addressed them.

Ashton Locke: He looked to the person saying the antlers were cool and

grinned, then looked to Halcyon and pointed at John, speaking to her in

Feral. "He said your antlers are cool."

a halcyon calm: She grinned at John when he pointed, not understanding but

it seemed positive, then when Dorian translated she beamed a bit more. "I

know." she said back in Feral.

scales change: " She.. wants to play the diplomat.. to insects. " Kythin

could have found that incredulous as well as foolish. Though the druid and

Dorian had proven capable of talking down at least one or two of the

oppisition in the last few out

Tesarik One: "You all from the Heart?" He glanced along the road to the

quarry and back at them.

Onyx Dalliance: She circled John and playfully hip checked him before

standing to one side of him. She was just waiting to find out more details of

the Current mission. Speaking Monotone.Nudging His left hand.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Looking over towards Dorian he gave a single nod before

he reached up and was giving a light tug to the braided beard. Looking over

towards Nani, a wink was given before looking over to the man asking if they

were from the Heart.

Onyx Dalliance: " Everything will be great"

Ashton Locke: "She says she knows." He looked to Kythin when he spoke and

nodded once. "Yes, she does. And if anyone can, it is likely her. It couldn't

hurt to try." And then they were being addressed! He smiled to the man from

the village and

Ashton Locke: nodded. "We are."

scales change: tings he'd shared with them at Maria's beckoning. " The

alternative being we're brigands come to take advantage of your misfortunes..

" He motioned Halcyon's way. " She's too strange to be a brigand.. " And

Kythin happened to be

Nobilis Arcanus: Before responding, Dorian got to it,.and well they wanted

to try the peaceful route so he was goina be hanging back a bit to see if the

ants would accept.::

scales change: clad like a paladin of some Sun God.. so self-explanatatory

wasn't it? -d

legacy of rain: John nodded once or twice as he listened to the game plan.

Sure, talking to insects might sound a little strange but maybe there was a

reason behind these attacks. It wouldn't hurt to try before resorting to

violence. John

Tesarik One: He pointed towards the open mine in the side of the mountain

beyond the village, where they mined marble. "Well, they haven't come into

the village yet, but I doubt it'll be long. Most of our miners haven't come

home and the runners

legacy of rain: definitely approved. Not that he voiced his opinion, being

the newcomer in the group. He nodded to Holly at her words. "I hope so."

Tesarik One: we sent came back with tales of giant ants overrunning the

place. Now everyone's too scared to even come out, which I don't blame 'em,

damn ants if they are as big as they say could bite a man's head off all

easy-like. " He eyed

Tesarik One: Kythin a moment as he talked about brigands, then narrowed his

eyes at the girl with antlers then gave a snort. "Takes all kinds to make

Arith go 'round. Well, we'll pay you well if you take care of our vermin

problem." And he

Tesarik One: pointed towards the road that led to the mine.

Ashton Locke: Hm. At the statement that they were big enough to bite a man's

head off, he was less curious to see them! He frowned a bit, and perhaps even

got a little paler. "I...see." He had thought perhaps ..hand or forearm sized

ants, since

Ashton Locke: that would be plenty giant for him. He'd just let someone less

apt to die immediately go first from now on! Well that and he got

..distracted before moving forward. He hissed in a quick breath and closed

his eyes, ine hand moving to

Nobilis Arcanus: Well now things are sounding a bit intresting,::he was

already moving forward. Hand raised and he was buckling the last buckle left

loose on the warmage coat. Massive ants, sure might try and talk them down

but he doubted if they

legacy of rain: "Oh jeez...man-eating ants? That are giant?" John made a

face and glanced around again. Would the woman with the antlers be able to

talk them down? God, he sure hoped so. John fidgeted with his cloak and the

longsword at his side.

Ashton Locke: rub the heel of his hand at a temple as if he had a sudden

onset headache. He stayed like that a second or ten, then let that breath out

heavily and took a moment to settle himself, sending a confused looking

glance up to the sky.

a halcyon calm: She lifted a brow, one hand moving to brush her thick braids

and dreadlocks out of her face as she turned, and then began to head towards

the way the man pointed. She hadn't understood him, but the universal sign of

a point was

Ashton Locke: (Skill used: Clairvoyant)

a halcyon calm: something even she could understand....they were that way!

Nobilis Arcanus: have already bitten off a few heads was going to go

peacefully so he was moving forward. A glance towards Kythin,:;hmm to bad a

certain dragon isnt with us wanting to make it their pet.

No True Form: ~She remained silent and hung back her arms crossed over her

chest as she just listened. A small smirk touched her lips, waiting for the

group to head toward the mines, she turned to follow along~ (D)

Tesarik One: The man stepped inside the inne, leaving the Heart adventurers

to their own devices now. (Spot Check)

No True Form: ~Well she was at the back so it was no surprise that she wasn't

spotting anything~

Tesarik One: 15+ can make out movement at the quarry gouged into the

mountain. 20+ can make out the shapes of yes.... giant ants as big as a grown

man scuttling about. At least thirty of them easily visible.

Ashton Locke: He still wasn't sure if he was seeing the present time or

something in the future, or the past! Tha tand he was still looking up at the

sky nervously.

a halcyon calm: She was already on her way to the quarry or she'd have asked

Dorian what was going on. She narrowed her eyes, watching the movement at the

open mine, and then picked up a bit of speed. Surely the others could keep

up! They

a halcyon calm: all thought she was crazy hmm? To try and talk to ants? But

little did they know, she spoke Insectid!

legacy of rain: "Holy mother of...." John's eyes widened as he made out the

shapes of the giant ants. As big as a grown man! "That...is crazy." He

pointed to the ants because what else could he do?

Onyx Dalliance: Holly was in a very good mood and is currently just

following John like some kind of a bodyguard. Reaching back to hold onto the

hilt of for two-handed blade." I will dissect them if it is required.

Otherwise you should relax?"

scales change: Those were awfully large insects... probably didn't taste too

bad cooked like a crab either. " That is a nuisance at best. " -d

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was already taking a small strip of cured leather and

began to wrap it about his right fist while moving forward. When Halcyon was

hurrying up he was moving forward as well a good pace, but not running.

Hearing the male, then

Tesarik One: The quarry is located half a mile to the northeast of Butter

Hollow in the side of a hill. The quarry is open cut, and most of the

villagers work here during the day. Just outside of the quarry is a

Tesarik One: pen in which horses are kept, but as they pass they see only

the corpses of horses, with huge chunks of flesh eaten away. Near the horses

are a number of wagons to assist the villagers move the marble

Tesarik One: from the quarry back to the village.

Nobilis Arcanus: Kythin he gave a single nod. Passing the pen he turned

looking to the corpses then looked forward again.::

Ashton Locke: "Hm?" There was talking! And yes, he could talk to the ants as

well, he just..was not a diplomat. Especially not among animals and the like,

but he thought Halcyon might actually be good at that! At any rate, after

another nervous

legacy of rain: "Relax? But look at them! They're huuuuge. Oh man, the kids

will never believe this." John was getting a little too excited here. He

followed the group, and was grateful that Holly was sticking close. At least

they could watch each

legacy of rain: other's back?

Ashton Locke: glance skyward, he looked to the quarry and wrinkled his nose

a bit. "Someone with better eyes should keep an eye above us every now and

then. I fear I won't see them until it's too late to prepare."

Onyx Dalliance: finally, she had made a friend and was extremely happy about

it." I'm sure they will be excited to hear about it."

legacy of rain: "Above? What's above?" John cast a look back to the male

before following his gaze skyward. He didn't see anything. Yet.

Tesarik One: There is a hole at the far end of the quarry which opens into

the mine in which the ant swarms are located. Corpses lay strewn across the

quarry, and when the Heart members approach they will notice

Tesarik One: that the corpses are being devoured by the ant swarms - both

the thirty massive soldier ants, and hundreds of smaller ants from the size

of a man's boot to a large dog. The smaller ants pay no mind to

Tesarik One: the approach of the group, but the three swarms of giant ants

(10 in each swarm) begin to chitter and click to each other. Ants continue to

swarm in and out of the hole, the smaller ants taking bits

Tesarik One: of human flesh down into what has to be the nest.

scales change: " ...This one's greener than the leaves, Rhyss. " Indicting

John with a jerk of his head. " Feel like a wager? Five silver says he runs

into the Queen first. " Hrm.. a good time to stop chattering it seemed

through.. odds were they

scales change: were about to have plenty of carapace to crack through if

Halcyon's idea didn't work out. -d

Nobilis Arcanus: I do not think they are going to give us a warm

reception,::;at the wager he turned to look towards Kythin, a crooked grin

given before a single nod.::Wager is on,:;he turned now and was falling

silent and more into the combat

No True Form: ~she cringed seeing the ants eating the dead, she didn't quite

understand the nature and need thing to chat with something that had already

killed. But she didn't say anything just remained at the back. Glancing up at

the sky hearing

No True Form: the wager she arched a brow and shook her head some.~ (D)

Onyx Dalliance: brb

a halcyon calm: There they were, and Halcyon had gotten there first. They

were eating human and horse flesh, that was not good. She frowned a moment,

and then she lifted her head and began to head towards the closest group of

the giant ants and

OnlineHost: Onyx Dalliance has left the room.

Nobilis Arcanus: oriented mindset. Fingers curled, the leather strip

slightly creaked as he would tap into the bloodline feeling the first flare

of the electricty running through his veins. He didn't figure the chit chat

would go well so he was

a halcyon calm: began to speak in a series of clicks and chitters as her

antlered head tilted to the side, and she attempted to engage the ants. She

was asking them their purpose, where they had come from, and if they would

possibly move onwards as

Nobilis Arcanus: already tapping into the strength of his ancestors. The

shock and tingle flowed along his veins awakening the draconic blood that was

within the veins. Eyes closed a moment before opening staring at the ants,

the sclera went from

a halcyon calm: this was settled land and there was no need for them to harm

and kill humanoids, it would only cause the villagers to pick up arms and

kill their nest. She just tried to be as open and honest as she could to them

as she spoke in

Ashton Locke: "Whatever is above is no there yet. I don't know if it was

already there or is going to be there. It would be best to keep an eye on it

when able to, though." He quieted down to listen in on the conversation with

the ants, though,

legacy of rain: "Hey now..." John interjected at the wager between the two

men. "If I run into the Queen first, I should get some of that as a

consolation prize." He nodded, not at all fazed by the wager, before turning

to watch the female attempt

a halcyon calm: that strange insectid tongue that she mostly used to talk to

the insects in the forest for company. (Diplomacy)

Ashton Locke: in case any of it was worth translating to the rest of the

group. Mostly it was just the ant's response that he'd probably want to

translate.

Nobilis Arcanus: the normal white to solid bronze. A slow blink was given as

he looked over towards John, the slight amount of bronze scales around his

eyes even more prominent as he tapped into the bloodlines power.:: Hmm,

wouldn't a ressurection be

legacy of rain: to communicate with the giant ants. Up close, that didn't

seem like a very good idea now. Hand slowly dropped to rest against the hilt

of his sword and he simply waited.

rather than leave it here. " Way to disprove that Paladin-esque look

Kythin... -d

Nobilis Arcanus: considered consolation? ::Slow blin was given.:: (Draconic

Enhancement - +6 dice side strengthen)

Tesarik One: The giant ants chittered back and forth while Halcyon spoke to

them in the insectid tongue. She had some good points, that was true, but

they replied back to her that they had chosen this for their nest and it was

the humanoid

legacy of rain: "That remains to be seen...but I'd appreciate that if it

happened."

Tesarik One: village that should move unless they wished to become ant food.

It did seem as if a few did agree with Halcyon, and some very excited

clicking and chittering went back and forth before a final answer was given

in the form of one of

Tesarik One: the bigger soldier ants charging Halcyon, big jaws opening.

a halcyon calm: She frowned and attempted to roll away when the ant charged

her, but she was not fast enough it seemed for this surprise attack. She took

the bite of those jaws and let out an very animalistic yelp as she took the

damage from it and

a halcyon calm: then attempted to crawl away from the nasty beast.

scales change: That turned out largely as expected right down to the

would-be diplomat being the first subject to attack. Ants didn't acknowledge

the old addage of not eating the message by all appearances. " Rhyss, how's a

little teamwork sound?

lizard obviously.. for reasons unpleasant to the lizard. ]

Tesarik One: A lizard was barely a snack for even one of these ants, but

when the lizard appeared, a few of the closest swarm skittered towards it,

fighting each other with their long jaws until one ate it all up.

Tesarik One: Nani-

Nobilis Arcanus: What did you have in mind? ::He frowned towards the

lizards, gloved hands curled then uncurled, electricty crackled along gloved

fingers leaping around the leather clad hands.::

Tesarik One: Halcyon-

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He had nt minded giving Nani that boost into the air. So

he was coming back around once more preparing and tapping into the arcane.::

a halcyon calm: The "Deer" which was merely the sweet lil wild druid began

to run across the ground towards the hole that the worker ants were going in

and out. She waved to Dorian and shouted out in Feral to him, then

disappeared down into the

a halcyon calm: hole. She was kinda crazy, no telling what she was up to

huh?

Tesarik One: Halcyon has gone into the nest!

Tesarik One: John-

Tesarik One: (If anyone can understand Feral, IM me and I'll tell you what

Halcy said)

scales change: [ No sane man knows what Halcyon or Dorian says... ]

Tesarik One: (Haha)

legacy of rain: "....What the." John looked bewildered as Halcyon took off

running and eventually disappeared down into the hole. He didn't have time to

just stand around though. Tightening his grip on the longsword once more, he

turned his

legacy of rain: attention to the flying swarm, now hovering close enough to

the ground for him to take a whack at it. He darted towards the swarm, hoping

to connect with his attack this time. ( Class Bonus - Extra 1d, once per

combat )

a halcyon calm: She didn't want to bring her flaming falcata with her, so

the flames went out before she headed down, btw.

Tesarik One: Swarm 3 - Under Dorian's control this round.

legacy of rain: Still distracted, apparently.

Ashton Locke: Well then...hm. One of the ants picked up Dorian carefully in

its jaws and put him on its back, and then two more from the swarm and the

one carrying Dorian went after Halcyon! The remaining 4 of his swarm climbed

atop one another

No True Form: ~Well just as John tried to attack she nearly landed on him,

no wonder he was unable to hit, she blinked some then smiled lightly~ sorry

~she darted off once more slipping for any shadows that could be found~ (D)

Ashton Locke: in pairs to get a bit more height, trying to chomp at the

lower flying ones.

Tesarik One: Rhyss-

Ashton Locke: Well really, stacking ants when one didn't know what one was

doing by virtue of not having an ant's brain was bound to not work right.

They just sorta collapsed, then came to their senses! And Dorian hoped the

one he was riding on

Ashton Locke: didn't notice he was on its back.

legacy of rain: "It's o-- where did she go?" John was in the middle of

replying when she promptly took off and made for the shadows. "Huh."

Nobilis Arcanus: :::He watched first Halcyon then the ants and

Dorian,:;where the nine hells are they going? ::He gave a grunt then turned.

The flask was opened as he moved forward, tipping the flask up, hey no one

said that his profession was the

Nobilis Arcanus: most sane! The oil poured into his mouth after a deep

breath was taken, it was goina try and combine to very hot elements into one!

Moving to get closer to the swarm he spit out the oil in a fan of spray, at

the same moment he

No True Form: ~What the,...she blinked shifting as she moved through the

shadows, was this a circus, stacking ants and ant riders,...good grief.~ (D)

Nobilis Arcanus: exhaled a flickering tongue of forked lighting into that

spray causing the liquid to burst into flame and spray into the midst of the

bugs combining fire and lightining.::

Tesarik One: Dorian-

legacy of rain: "Ugh. Gross." John made sure none of it fell on top of his

head.

a halcyon calm: Down in the nest, the crazy druid was searching for...the

queen of course. It didn't' matter if they killed the soldiers if the queen

was left, there'd always be more.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::Gloved hand raised, the back of that hand wiped across

his lips before spitting some. Blanching he shook his head,::hmm might be

better tasting if I start carrying alcohol to do that.

Tesarik One: Dorian-

Ashton Locke: (Sorry!)

Ashton Locke: Well, he didn't want his escort to get hostile. He knew this

wouldn't turn out pleasantly for him in the end, but he tried to take over

swarm 3 once again! (Innate Spell: Mindjack. DC18)

Tesarik One: Kythin-

Ashton Locke: And once again he slumped over, but this time still on his

ant's back, right as it was ready to notice and chomp at him, no doubt! The 4

outside of his little escort mission formed up again, then moved towards the

tunnel as well,

Ashton Locke: since he'd rather not split them up too much.

Tesarik One: Well Kythin had the option to try and attack the few of the

swarm that were heading to the tunnel!

scales change: Well if the wild wonder and her sidekick were going to head

in with the worker ants. Kythin decided he wasn't going to be staying out to

play guardian for the rest of them! He'd head for the tunnel.. shapeshifting

into something

scales change: draconic and icy on the way. [ shapeshift - medium sized

white dragon. huzzah! ]

Tesarik One: Noted! He'll enter the nest, not very hard to follow the worker

ants to the queen, where Halcyon is engaged in Insectid bargaining.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was moving over to where Nani was,..a smoking antleg

lifted up and he grinned.::I made dinner.

Tesarik One: Nani-

Nobilis Arcanus: ::And was heading in behind the dragon Kythin,::I believe I

won the wager.

scales change: Kythin was going to engage in lunch. Probably. -d

No True Form: ~She looked over then grimaced~ EWWWW ~She blinked then arched

a brow pointing to his mouth~ you missed some ~meaning the stuff he had spit

out, but,..erm guess he was off after his buddy there, didn't have a nick name

for him yet,

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He was actually walking beside Nani figuring she was

moving for the cave as well. Wiping where she had pointed with his

thumbtip.::Did I get it?

No True Form: but then she hadnt had a chance, looking over to the last guy

<John> still no name for him either.~ Looks like the party is heading in, you

dont wanna hang out here alone. ~She smiled and turned since nothing really

worth

No True Form: attacking at this point~ (D)

Tesarik One: Halcyon-

Tesarik One: Halcyon go ahead and roll a diplomacy.

Tesarik One: ~*~ Tesarik One scored 0 poynts damage ~*~

Tesarik One: Halcyon is successful in her diplomatic talks with the queen.

As most (if not all) of the team trickle down into the nest, they easily find

the queen where Halcyon is engaged in that clicking chittering

Tesarik One: language again - Insectid.

Tesarik One: The queen's thorax is much bigger than the soldier's, the queen

herself is a bit bigger than the soldiers as well, where they were 6-7 feet

long she is 8-9. She is surrounded by eggs and larval ants,

Tesarik One: and attended to by masses of worker ants.

Tesarik One: --Free roleplay---

legacy of rain: "Good idea. I don't want to run into more of these by

myself." He nodded to the female and offered her a grateful smile before

heading into the tunnel after the group. What he witnessed at the end of the

tunnel caused him to furrow

a halcyon calm: She was rubbing her hand along the bottom of one of her

antlers in thought as she talked to the large queen. She knelt down and

patted some of the larval ants, and let the tiny ones run along her arm as

she talked to the queen. She

legacy of rain: his brows. Though it didn't seem like the group was going to

be attacked anytime soon, John was still on edge.

Nobilis Arcanus: ::He moved in glancing around, he draped an arm around

Nani's shoulders before looking to the queeny. Brow arched some before

glancing to the side and spit out abit more oil tasting saliva.::

No True Form: ~She followed them down to where the queen was and the deer

was talking away as if they were old friends.~ Hm,...~well heck why not, she

leaned against the wall and did a look around probably no sparkles here

considering it was a

a halcyon calm: managed to get the Queen to move the entire nest, how bout

that! And, after the discussion with the druid ended the queen was again

chittering towards her worker ants and soldiers that remained, and all the

worker ants began to pick

No True Form: giant ant hill,..as Rhyss spit again she blinked looking to

him~ so not kissing you till you rinse your mouth ~she muttered softly~ (D)

scales change: Huh.. well if the two that preceded him weren't being gnawed

on.. than he had no reason not to just take a nap. He could pass the time

wondering how frozen ant tasted.. since white dragons did eat their meals

frozen over.. -d

a halcyon calm: up the eggs or larval ants and move deeper into the

mountain.

Ashton Locke: He was contributing as well, talking through the ants and

making sure he wouldn't be attacked, before he sat up with a grunt. He rubbed

at the side of his head with a frown, then slid off the ant he had been

riding and gave it a pat

Ashton Locke: on the head. And after a moment or two, he was set upon by a

rather massive headache, shifting towards the nearest wall to lean against it

and close his eyes.

Tesarik One: The Queen finally began to move only when all her babies had

been claimed by workers, and then the queen, surrounded by her soldiers began

to move deeper into the mountain. There was no apology for what they'd done,

they were

Tesarik One: insects after all, but she did realize that this was not a good

nesting place as Halcyon had made sure to note that they'd be in constant

battle for this place. When the last worker ant disappeared, and a search of

the tunnels

Tesarik One: indicated no more ants, they could return to the village for

payment. No, there were no sparklies in the tunnels, but the villagers had

gold, and the craftsmen once it was safe began to harvest the chitin from the

dead ants so they

Tesarik One: could craft some equipment out of it - first for the

adventurers, then for the village with what was left.

Tesarik One: (Ok. For loot you will each be given a defensive item made of

ant chitin.

Tesarik One: These are the choices:

Tesarik One: Chitin Boots: +3 DEF (Feet)

Tesarik One: Chitin Gorget +3 DEF (Neck)

Tesarik One: Chitin Bracers +3 DEF (Arms)

Tesarik One: Chitin Shield +3 DEF

Tesarik One: Chitin Greaves - leg +3 DEF (Legs)

Tesarik One: Chitin pauldrons - shoulders +3 DEF (Cloak or Arms)

Tesarik One: Chitin Helm - looks like ant head +3 DEF (Head)

Tesarik One: Chitin Mask - +3 DEF

Tesarik One: Please state your choice. It's ok if more than one takes the

same thing as the craftsmen are making these.

scales change: [ boots. huzzah! ]

No True Form: (YAY more armor Boots!!!)

legacy of rain: ( Bracers )

scales change: [ I just made that selection. heh. Kythin has the strangest

piecemeal armor set... I swear.

Nobilis Arcanus: (Boots)

a halcyon calm: Bracers

Ashton Locke: (Hmmmm)

No True Form: (lol yeah Nani too spidersilk cloak and shirt, chitin boots,

gilded bracers lol she is,...uhhh colorful!)

Ashton Locke: (I'll go with pauldrons just so the poor NPC craftsmen don't

get bored making all the same stuff)

Tesarik One: Ok... so Bracers for Halcyon & John

Tesarik One: Boots for Kythin, Rhyss & Nani

Tesarik One: Pauldrons for Dorian. Did I miss anything?

legacy of rain: ( Not that I can see. )

Tesarik One: Ok! Well, you are all free to continue rp, but as far as

officially you've succeeded in your quest, gained the thanks of the town, and

can head home or have a drink at the inne. Quest completed.
