Sam starts as a few items he had left behind on his trip to Clearbrook appear. He stares around at the oddly-familiar-yet-different trees in amazement. "It's like a twin of Clearbook's woods, but one that has seen a different life." He exclaims
Survival: 1d20+5=8, K(Nature): 1d20+5=18, Perception: 1d20+5=9, K (Geography): 1d20+4=7 Sam looks around, trying to immerse himself in the forest rhythm like his Da taught him.
Sam hesitates, realizing that he has hogged Ameei's attention. "Do folks here enjoy bards like we do back home? What kind of songs are popular here?" Sam refelcts on the main mission they had come to achieve. "Umm .. well what will we face when we go after Gracie? Do we know anything at all about the person she was with? Will folks help us or hinder us?"
Sam looks wistful at Ameei's question "Aye Ameei. We lived in the woods, my Da was a boundsman and he watched over the forest, culling the animals what were out of balance and warding the others from poachers. He said our family had done the same thing since the Time of Magic. My Da always said that there were many things that we folks didn't know about, an' there was real magic in the woods if you knew where to look. He always told me stories of the Grandfather Trees, the Dryads, the Elder Elves and the Seelie. I think seeing this place would make him so happy! He always said that magic was real, only sleeping. No one ever believed him." Sam looks sad "I hope he's OK"
Sam looks at Ameei "Sorry Miss .... err Ameei, my Da always told me to be repectful when meeting new folks. I think that goes double around here!" Sam looks alarmed by the woods playing games "Are there Grandfather trees? My Da used to tell me stories about the tree shepherds who could make the entire forest move by their will alone! That would be a hard thing to escape."
Pouting a little Ameei's tone is a little sulky. "Well I could but i'm often a lot more fun like this.. Unless you want me to walk on all fours.." Giggling a little the mercurial young lady seems to have moved on from her little sulk almost right away. Sam snorts a bit when he hears this canard. "I'm glad you are coming along Ameei. It would be hard to find Gracie without a guide." Sam's belly rumbles "Now that you mention it, I could use a bit of tucker. And maybe a bit of regular drink, like some cider. This faerie wine is going to my head!"
Sam greets Paulus and Todd warmly "I'm glad you two are all right. I had just heard you might be here as well." When the talk turns to Gracie, Sam chimes in. "Miss Oriniya here was telling me someone who looked like Gracie took off with a stranger not too long ago." When the raw meat comes to the table, Sam slices small ribbons off to feed Dancer. He also slips a bit under the table for the Husky.
Lyus & Kayos : Spoiler:
Sam looks over at Oriniya, not sure what exactly is going on. He is taken by the lovely Lilac, but a small voice in the back of his mind is telling him that going off with her might not be such a good idea. "Miss ..umm ...Lilac, I'm not sure if I should go off just yet. We still have a missing child and some other folks from my village wandering about. I ..umm ..might be interested in spending some time getting to know you, but my Da always told me, 'Chores before fun.' I couldn't enjoy myself until we get everyone taken care of." Sam looks into Lilac's eyes and mentally kicks himself for being such a goody-two-boots. At this moment, his pet ferret Dancer wakes from her ferret nap and pokes her head out of Sam's tunic "Hey girl!" Sam exclaims, happy to change the subject. "Are you hungry little one?" Sam looks over at Oriniya "Could I please get something for my ferret to eat? Maybe a little raw meat?"
Lyus & Kayos: Spoiler:
Sam reddens as the scantily-clad girl cozies up to him. "Umm ...errr...ahh...I... guess we could play something. Do you like Two Stone or Toad's Eye? I know a lot of card games." Sam looks around at Oriniya, not sure what he should do, but sure that he is treading in unknown waters with the lovely Lilac.
Lyus and Kayos: Spoiler:
Sam brightens when Lyus mentions "be on our way". "You know the way out Mr ..errr ... Lyus? That's great! I thought I'd be stuck here for a hunnert years like in the stories." Sam frowns in puzzlement when he hears Paulus and Todd mentioned. "I've nowt seen either of them. In fact you're the only villager I've seen since I arrived here. Are they lost too?" Sam's face goes through a couple of expressions when he hears of Misty going back with Moss. Relief that Misty is safe and depression that Moss gets to play the rescuer. "Oh. Well that's good then, I was worried about her. Did you folks find Gracie too?" Sam frowns again when Lyus mentions the hole. "Well, Lyus, to be honest I don't know if it were a proper hole, ye ken. All I know is I was wandering in the woods and I stumbled. The next thing I know I am here in this Elf Hill tavern. Miss Oriniya was nice enough to tell me a bit about the place." Sam belatedly remembers his manners. "Oh! Miss Oriniya, this is Lyus Fivetrees from the village of Clearbrook. Oriniya lives here, and was just telling me a bit about the place." Sam's eyes drift over to Lilac unbidden.
Lyus and Kayos: Spoiler:
Sam had been just about to comment of Oriniya's cryptic remark about the two worlds coming together when Lilac and Mr. Fivetrees come into the room. He has never really had much interaction with Lyus, most of his experience with the Fivetrees family had been scowls from Moss, who saw him as a threat to Misty. Still Lyus had always been courteous when they did speak. "Oh hello Mr. Fivetrees! I am surprised to see you here! Did you fall into the hole at the tree too?" Sam suddenly becomes aware of Lilac. Being a healthy teenage boy he is entranced immediately by her. "Ah err hum .. hello ..I'm ..um ...Sam"
Spoiler:
Sam hiccups and looks at Oriniya "But what happens now? I mean all I know is woodsraft, I can't do magic or nobbut like that, I don't think I can be of much use here." Sam looks sad "By the time I get back Misty will be married to Moss Fivetrees and she'll have a bunch of kids that have Moss' stupid squint-eyed face and onion nose."
Spoiler:
Sam relaxes a bit "I guess there ain't much I kin dew 'bout the sidu-uh-sichu-um-situation. No need to fash m'self I reckon" The drink seems to be making Sam a bit giddy, his backcountry accent roughening as he becomes tipsy. "I do worry 'bout me Da though. He's oldern now an' there ain' nobbut but to care for him 'cept me."
