Alice sits alone in a dark room, dark thoughts spinning through her mind. She has become apathetic, her Charisma has dropped by 4, she has disadvantage on charisma based checks and dexterity checks on initiative. The condition will remain without intervention, but will improve after intervention and a long rest.]
[Saturday, Spring 22, 20:30, -1C a light snow has begun]Alright then Good Night and see you tomorrow Ashley!
"Good luck with the kido." She waves as she leaves for her room.Despite all it was a pleasure dining with you and I hope to see you again after we return from the mine! Let us all look for answers and exchange our findings when we meet again!
Elmina gives a half-hearted wave.Summer stands and says, "I should be back in two days or so, so when you're finished with your current quest, we'll strategize! Good night!"
She waves and sits back down to return to chatting with Elmina.
Good evening Sir Edermath and Miss Daylinn!
They turn on their bar stools to greet her cordially, with the juxtaposition piercing eyes and friendly smiles. Elves are nothing if not enigmatic.I just wanted to thank you again for this ring which has proven very valuable. And I apologize if my party member has bothered you.
Daylinn waves her off, batting away her words, Daran has a word to say, "Yes well I can't fault you for her design if you weren't personally involved. Can it be trained is my question and if so then you have your work cut out for you."
She has had a hard day and is not good with the cold. Neither do I seek to bother you but I also wanted to inquire if you managed to determine the source of this cold which has caused so much trouble here. I heard a lot of sheep needed to be culled due to lack of food!
Daran considers her words carefully, "Yes, that's something that I have no control over though I still believe it will pass eventually as the spring progresses. In the North this weather wouldn't be out of place though the flora and fauna here do not appreciate and we didn't think of needing to keep enough supply of feed this far into spring. This is all fine however, we will make things stretch, the meat can be preserved so there's no loss there, but wool production next year will suffer, it's a minor concern."
He speaks with a comfortable, genuine and easy tone, though the cider may have helped that.We have now been tasked by the Rockseeker brothers to investigate the mine. They said it had been taken over by something foul. I have heard rumors of giant spiders! Would you know anything about it?
He turns to Daylinn and they both chuckle, "Giant spiders you say? And what would giant spiders eat in an abandoned mine? Giant flies? No, no that's about as silly as an Orc Wizard. What's in the mine? I'd guess displaced goblins, orcs amassing for a raid against Phandalin, that isn't out of the question, in fact there was a recent disappearance."
He turns to Daylinn, "Tel' shemlen maniferril?"
"Tel' shemlen? Col nesh al adoe",
she said with concern."My guess would be orcs, and they may have chosen a princess."
He was noticeably disgusted. "Though it's really none of my concern, orcs don't sit well with me, and so let's see, what would be tolerable, ears? Eyes? Toes? Tongues! Have your ward collect their tongues, for every orc tongue I'll give you a gold coin and you can also keep the tongues."
Daylinn laughed darkly at the silliness of his arbitrary decision.
Daran adds, "I don't remember who the girl belongs to but they'll likely appreciate the return of their family member."
Daylinn puts a hand on Daren's chest, "there were two!"
"Ah, this is yet another annoying consequence of not having a walled city, we should really erect a palisade at least,"
He speaks to himself.This will be the easy task before we will accompany Miss Summer of Leilon to slay the dragon. I do not know why she is so adamant about it if this dragon is not even the source of this cold? I wonder how we will manage. Do you have some advice for novices like us in dealing with such a beast?
"The cold has good reason and I won't say more about it, yes it all ties together, there are forces at work here beyond even my comprehension, as for dragons, they can be quite potent and its proximity is an issue for us as it will eventually come by and take sheep when its hungry, though this one seems to like cattle, again, none of my concern. It should know better then to go after my sheep, dragons are brutish but at least they're intelligent. Oh, they're horrifically arrogant and complacent. To be slain by a group of iron plates would be unheard of, frankly I would advise you against trying, though if you run when you realize the task you shouldn't lose more than one or two. I'm beyond trying to convince others about common sense. It would be quite a shame if Summer died, for a shemlen she's quite well refined."
Daylinn agreed, they were quite impressed by Summer's couth manners.I have heard you have been to its lair? Is the path to the mountains even accessible in this awful weather? I have been in the area once before the cold set in and that was a hard enough journey...
He looked somewhat uncomfortable about your question, "Yes, I was there several times before and after the snowfall, the dragon has holed up in the artifact. Whether it's accessible or not depends, but with snowshoes you should be able to walk there, the snow has accumulated and is showing no sign of melting. I will tell you that there's nothing there to gain, the artifact is... well it's no longer my concern and it's in safe hands."[/i]
Daylinn leans forward to Yulya, "Oh yes, don't worry about that. If you insist on taking out that dragon, stop there and count your blessings. I am certain this weather will clear soon, it's in good hands."
[Interactions required only for Yulya, you may continue this conversation all you like the night is still early. Though I'd like Cat to at least post a bored picture or something. I will offer a hint: a bartender is historically a wealth of information.]
