And what is that?
Woohooo!
Shien exclaims as he eats his mushroom.
Arioch waits for Nelarth's resopnse to Hal's question. He looked at Shien, a slight smile on his face.
Now he's eating mushrooms that grow on some old dragon's head. I thought I was a curious fellow, seems I have much to learn.
"Tell me, what was the world like? What happened two hundred years ago? You were alive then, so surely you have something to say? How did you get up here? How did this island get up here? How did any island for that matter? Tell me how the slime come about and what happened when we fled to the skies."
A game of course, Who doesn't love a good game And Since I like games so much It will have prizes. He looks to Tessara A very curious one amongst you ill tell you what He looks up to the sky then back to you We play while the sun is up and tonight I will tell you off the past Walks over and leans against the giant chest which starts to shake a little.
"I am up for a game!"
Oh, a game! Freyja's eyes sparkle with delight.
Hal nods thoughtfully, Sounds like fun, I'm in.
Sounds interesting, count me in
It sounds like a fair trade. Eleanis says.
ohh, games. I like this island.
Whatever
Tessara grins widely "I'm quite fond of games. I have a few back on the ship, in fact. I'm a professional gambler, actually. What do you have in mind?"
Mikal listens intently, watching every movement made by the old dragon. His interest piqued by the chance to learn more about the island, and the world's dark past.
He smiles Great I also am quite found of games With that he tickles the lock on the chest it shakes the lock opens up Wake up in there it is time to play soon as the lock is off the lid is flung open the contents flies out into the air Cards shoot into the air like a firework popping out flies Marbles and Coins all flying in different directions. The side of the chest opens like a door and a full suit of armor ridding a ram Shoot out at full speed past the group. Two full fool costumes come out juggling wearing mask and running. Heres how you play I have been around a while and collected a few things I don't have use for I would be willing to part with them but only to winners the more items you have the better and some items I deam worth more. But I am not gonna tell you till after. So good luck also any of these items wont come easily but if you put them in the chest they will stop fussing With a huge grin he sits down and laughs.
Everybody make a perception check please
Well poop.
I'm off to chase a fool outfit.
No taking 10 you have no time.
Well, that one's going to be mine!
Arioch stretched his wings and flew up darting of after one of the objects.
He's flying of after the compass. Not sure what I'll need to do to catch it. But here is what he's going to try :
If the compass is 60 ft or less away, he will move and try to catch it by grappling it. (Not sure if possible, but he would probably try to use the quick runner's shirt to get back to the treasure chest)
If the compass is 120 ft or less (but more than 60 ft) away, he will use his quick runner's shirt (swift action), then move and try to grapple.
"So, what, we chase down these items and get them? That's it?"
Oh dear, how much time do we have?
You chance the items and You win a prize not those items i like them but others me and my daughters have acquired. And As for time as much as you all take to gather them all.
Tessara looks for a different item to track down.
Eleanis takes out a tiny bag and a small candle from her pouch and quickly uses them to summon an air elemental Help Airoch grab that compass thing! she instructs it.
Hal, having given up on finding anything small, immediately begins to chase after the suit of armor. As he does so, he waves his arm at the ship, Flit! Get down here!
Tessara summons a Novice Scout (Half-Elf Ranger, CR 1/2), "My minion, I command you to capture the fool costume for me!"
Freyja will cast Heroism on herself and chase a bobble using her acrobatics, which is now +12.
Masha is uninterested in the game. She sits to eat a fruit or something.
Teleron chases after the other fool costume.
The wind elemental swirls into existence racing after Arioch.
The Suit of armor on the wood ram gallops at a amazing speed.
The fools costumes play leap frog while running. While trying to avoid the ranger.
All the other items are swooshing around and Rolling around on the ground.
Nelarth looks at Masha Would you like to have a cup of ale with me child since you would not like to join the others.
Spotting a bright marble Freyja moves to grab it.
Nelarth looks at Masha Would you like to have a cup of ale with me child since you would not like to join the others.
Yeah, Why not?
(for anything suspicious)
You seem liek someone that have seen a lot of suff, do you have any good story to share old dragon man?
Tessara steps in front of the fool costumes and has her fellow stand on the other side to block them off. "Teleron, you take one of the other sides and help us catch them. With luck, we can catch both!"
Eleanis casts Wind Wall to create a cylindrical area as tight as possible while still trapping all the other items.
"That's one dodgy little thing." Arioch unclasped his cloak and flew after the golden compass trying to use his cloak as an improvised net.
Teleron nods and moves to help Tessara by getting on one of the other sides.
Ooo Have I, I could tell you stories for years. What kinda story would you like? He goes inside the small tent and brings out what looks to be a hand crafted bottle and A handful of mugs. He Looks you in the eyes handing you a mug before sitting the others down. He fills yours and then his in turn.
Most things hit by eleanis wind wall get flung away catching a card inside the Swirl. As it flies upward.
The fool outfits claps hands and start somersaulting together.
Freyja grabs for the marble.
Masha accept and start drinking, - An epic sotry, or a fun one
Freyja grabs the marble you can feel it jerking wildly inside your hand. The windwall Hits the small compass Pushing it into Arioch cloack. the windwall hits the cloak. The Fool outfits come somersaulting at the net.
+ 8 fort?
Freyja moves to turn the marble in to the old reptilian man. I caught one. She says excitedly.
Arioch tried to hold on to his cloak while flying away from the windwall.
Eleanis, will try and grab as many of the cards, marbles and coins that are trapped insidr her windwall.
Edward was the youngest knight in the kingdom. He was still pretty much a boy, but was so brave and intelligent that, without having to fight anyone at all, he had defeated all his enemies. One day, while riding through the mountains, he came across a small cave. On entering it he found it was enormous, and that inside was an impressive castle, so big that he thought the mountain couldn't be real, and that it must have been a facade put there to hide the castle.
On nearing the castle, Edward heard the sound of voices. Without hesitating, he climbed over the castle walls, and followed the voices. "Anybody here?" he asked. "Help! Help us!" came the response from inside, "we've been locked in here for years, serving the castle dragon." "Dragon?" thought Edward, just before an enormous flying flame almost burnt him alive. Edward spun silently around, and addressing the terrible dragon face to face, said: "It's all right, Dragon. I forgive you for what you just did. You probably didn't know it was me."
The dragon was very surprised at words like these. He never expected anyone to stand up to him, and certainly not in such a brazen manner.
"Prepare to fight, dwarf! I don't give a fig who you are!" roared the dragon. "Wait a moment. Well, it's clear that you don't know who I am. I am the guardian of the Great Crystal Sword!" continued Edward, who - before fighting - was capable of making all sorts of things up. "You well know that the sword has killed dozens of ogres and dragons, and that if I unsheathe it, it will fly straight into your neck and kill you."
The dragon had never heard of such a sword, but this frightened him. He certainly didn't like the sound of something cutting his throat. Edward carried on talking.
"In any case, I want to give you a chance to fight me. Let's travel to the other side of the world. Over there there's a snow-covered mountain, and at the summit there's a great tower. At the top of the tower there's a golden cage where a wizard made this sword. There the sword loses all its power. I'll be there, but will only wait for you for five days."
On saying that, Edward raised a cloud of dust and disappeared. The dragon thought Edward had performed some kind of magic, but he had only hidden in some bushes. Wanting to fight with that impudent knight, the dragon quickly flew out of the cave, towards the other side of the world, in a journey which lasted more than a month.
When Edward was sure the dragon was far away, he came out of his hiding place, entered the castle, and set free all the prisoners inside. Some had been missing for many years, and when they returned home everyone praised Edward's great intelligence.
And what about the dragon? Well, can you believe that on the other side of the world there was really a snowy mountain with a big tower on top, and a gold cage on top of that?
Well yes, the dragon squeezed into the cage and couldn't get out; and there he remains, hoping that someone intelligent will one day come and rescue him...
