"We're going deeper in?" Eri goes pale(r). He drops an f-bomb and presses his lips together like he's trying to stop himself from talking.

I am not able to keep up with you all even at this leisurely pace. I've enjoyed the ride and hope that you continue to write a great story. Thanks for the opportunity to game. --Scott
Eri suddenly sees a bit of brown hurtling at his face. He tries to dodge it and sees at the last second that Mort is trying to toss it in his mouth. Mort’s toss is more like an arrow so Eri looks like he’s nodding “No” but in a down-up fashion. The chocolate leaves a brown mark on his nose which he quickly fixes. He then gamely opens his mouth ready for the return.
He then returns the favor with a fresh morsel as he chews on his own.
Eri watches the fool hand out the ludicrous bobbles and remains grim-faced. I wonder what magics those might have. I don't trust anything in here. He finds his seat and examines all the spoons recalling all the various ways they can be used. This nonsense. Do we really need an oyster fork AND a caviar spoon? At least there's wine. He reaches for the wine and examines the room.
Eri hefts the skull testing its weight. He takes a sip and a half of whatever intoxicant is at hand and lobs the skull.
"Ah, not enough juice." Eri takes a more ample draught and wipes his lips on his sleeve. "Nice shot Mort!"
Eri waits for the birds to get out of range of their color spray. He waits even longer and gives Zeetch a wink. He waits a little more and then takes down three in quick succession. He flubs a couple of shots to get a fourth and starts to look nervous. He then lobs one bolt almost at the limit of his range to get the fifth and looses the rest of the magazine unable to get a sixth.
Eri turns to Prince Zeetch, ”Ah, well, pride goeth before the fall. That was some nice shooting, Your Majesty.”
Eri presti-cleans the party of crumbs as he sips his drops of the pure. The more he cleans, the slower and more thoughtful he casts as the golden marinade seeps into his viscera. ”If anyone can bring down more than me, I’ll give the lucky soul a thousand rings.” Eri’s ears perk up a bit and he pick up a crossbow. Ah, yeh, sure. That sounds fun.”
Eri looks uncomfortably around the party. Yeh, this room has an uncomfortable vibe. I still do not like to party with evil. It feels like some broken, weird thing is going to happen at any moment. Fake frowns, leering smirks - what's the next freaky thing? He sticks close to Canary. I'm not drunk enough for this. "Waiter!" Eri asks for something in an intoxicant. Something a little more boozy than wine.
Eri looks on with shock as his gift is used on Sol. Crap, that is not how I hoped that would go. He follows Canary's lead in the clapping, awkwardly beginning the second round of clapping after all the clapping is over. He then blushes and tries to not be there.
"Mahuudril, Montague, nice to meet your acquaintance. What a lovely party this is so far." Eri will line up with Ascaria when he is making his move ready to assist in his fact finding. Eri will exude patience and calm as he joins the procession. He will proffer a fancy box with a pair of bright white gloves in it. glowing gloves "These are a great way to leave your mark."
Eri will sidle up with Solrisa and awkwardly try to sound "hip" and "with it." "I knew a guy named Cren. He was a real piece of work. One day he ... no wait, it was night. So anyway, he found that his torch had gone out and he was in the middle of the woods. I watched him fumble about for a bit and then I helped him home. I was hunting, you see, and he ruined my chances of finding anything. He was loud and now covered in water that I had doused his torch with. I was pretty annoyed. Then he got real angry. I showed him how to get home anyway."
Eri puts his weapons in his quivers and puts them in Bidi’s chest. He does his best to add all the fancy bits in the right order consulting Ascaria when he thinks he’s done and Solrisa when Ascaria clears him for takeoff. Eri cringes as the carriage tarries, willing it to go faster. "These people are miserable! They're only doing this for show, possibly out of fear!” I know a little about what that is. ”Yikes, that is a big fear, a big evil. If we could pop that bubble maybe the town can do the rest.” ”Now remember to be on your best behavior. We promised!” That’s my least favorite behavior.
Eri lays low as well. He will, however, find a couple of different bars to sit at the end of and get a little loose and ponder the locals.
"Eh, Ascaria, Have you noticed a barber in your travels around town? We could probably all use a shave. Well, maybe not Sol." Yes to delaying the dusty church until after the fancyness.
"I agree that we should have as much information that we can get."
Whoa. That is awesome news. Definitely make sure you get enough rest!
"Yeh, the spire needs to go. I think fire would be prudent at this juncture." ”Oh that’s interesting. Then I wonder what Rae was talking about.” Eri turns his head at this point "Ummm, ah never mind."
”Oh, are those roasted nuts, Eri?” "It's still early yet. Maybe by mid afternoon." Eri smirks and chuckles in an unwholesome way. Shaking his head, he proffers the
"Sorry, would you like some?"
”Yes, let’s go sniff out some information and see if we can avoid some ignorance.” Eri grabs some nuts or other walking food to munch along the way. "It kinda smells just like Diamond Lake.”
Eri looks at Mort and shrugs his shoulders. What DOES Diamond Lake smell like?
Great post, I saw the picture painted before me. I have an intense and then busy handful of days ahead of me. Feel free to move me along if needed.
Eri tries to hide his emotions but finally gives up. He does, thought, keep his eyes glued to the stage hoping that no one will watch him. He is especially galled by the slow demise of Fondo's character. He is quiet for a long time after the curtain and stiffly joins in the standing ovation as his world view shifts. "I'll join you for a port, I need it it."
In message Eri will say "I popped a detect scrying spell to feed my paranoia."
I'm heading out of town until Friday. Feel free to move me along if needed. I am going to THE City! (Not SF)
Eri will sit sipping with Canary as he draws. "I've never seen a play. This sounds interesting."
Yeh, my mind is open[/ooc] Armhin: I am Eri, I live outside. I have lived free and I will continue to do so.
Eri watches a look of disdain dance across Mort's phobic face. He orders a frilly drink for himself and pays double (with a little bigger tip as well) to have an extra frilly version of the same drink placed in front of Mort.
Eri waits for the drinks to arrive trying not to smirk too much. Eri wears his belt.
6201 - 2886 arrow of charming
”Ah, well, I think I may have found the perfect gift. It’s an Arrow of Charming. I like the message and the not non-lethal nature of it.“ ”The belts are a good idea. There are not many places where they will be useful. Let’s shall.”
"To buy a gift properly, we really need to know something about the man. Any chance we could find something out about where he grew up? Under what circumstances?"
"Mmmm... how do you feel Eri?” ”Fabulous!” If we are not in the pit Eri casts spark in an arc above his head. “Oh Eri! That's lovely! Oh, very good!" Sol claps cheerily at Eri's transformation. Solrisa spontaneously hugs the new Eri He grins. ”hehe, thanks” You definitely don't want to get hit in the face now!” Eri lets out a giant guffaw “How was it?!" he asks eagerly. "Was it bubbly too? “ ”Well, it tasted…old and like it was supposed to taste like fruit. It really tasted like vinegar but bite-ey-er like acid maybe?” “What -- Why are you still... male?” Eri checks. ”Er, yeh. I am.”
Eri’s eyes become ever so slightly more dark, his lashes more thick. The blue in his eyes becomes almost impossibly blue. One feels that they must stare at the color as it appears nowhere else in nature. His movements become more lithe and his shoulders slightly squarer. He is even more fascinating as he lives in his own mind. Someone might feel compelled to break into the hard shell of his indifference. They are in for a long siege.
Eri eyes the potion one last time and then swallows it down. "Here we go!"
"You can use the slidey dirt move to see whatever is down there. Maybe open a door back up. Can we do some detection to see if there's anything down there first? " Eri picks up the bright pink sparkly vial and eyes it. He taps it to see who knows what. So we find this bottle in the midst of a bunch of trash in a hole. It's covered in acid and some mad scientist mixed who-knows-what to make it give me super powers. Am I really gonna drink this?
Eri sees the pieces of chalk not really knowing if the two pieces already drawn are different lengths or the same.
"Woohoo!!!"
"Do we have an idea about the non-scaly potions? I mean, will they knock us out for a while to go into affect or will they work instantly? Should we drink them now or wait till we get to safety?"
”Maybe we should draw lots.” "That sounds fair. I think we've all had some kind of boost or other."
"They need a little more than pointing, I think. Do you have a spell that will allow us to speak to them?"
Eri contemplates a bit more. "Does anyone speak Terran by chance?"
"I'm afraid I can't create any "things." I can summon a bunch of small earth elementals. Each one can clear a little more than one 5x5 ft cube in one casting" DM_Sass:
By the rules, earth elementals would not have tools, but I would argue that they would be more efficient than humans at digging. Would you authorize that they be treated as having tools and therefore be able to dig 2 5ft cubes per casting? check my math, please: In 1 minute, using only her hands, a character can clear rocks and debris equal to five times her heavy load limit. The amount of loose stone that fills a 5-foot-by-5-foot area weighs 1 ton (2,000 pounds). Armed with an appropriate tool, such as a pick, crowbar, or shovel, a digger can clear loose stone twice as quickly as by hand. Small earth elemental has a str 16 and the heavy load is up to 230 pounds. Rounding down each one can clear a 5x5 ft cube in one casting (13 rounds). The source for the math:
When we land up top, Eri will put on a brave coughing face, getting ready to cast. When he sees the immaculate reception with the dragon head he doubles over and retches, ending up on his hands and knees. When he recovers... "Is this slab big enough to cover the acid pool?" Up top Eri will cast Detect Secret Doors He will do so when we go underground, too.
Eri moves toward Eidi.
Ahh, my lungs are gonna start to burn here pretty soon. Eri tries to calm himself. He does NOT take a deep breath, but looks around the room to see if he can find the source of the fumes. Like a cauldron, a giant open jar or a cave entrance that looks menacing.

Ooh a chance this spell might actually be useful. Eri looks a little giddy and casts Gust of wind straight up from below the hole they came from. He then gets ready to move in a bit more.
Back into the dark we go.
Before we head down,
Round 3 Init 11 AC: 21 ”Holy crap, Sol. Nice one!“ Eri sees the smear of Solrisa zip by and his mouth slowly opens as purple goes down in a crunch. He shakes his head in disbelief and looks around for any targets still available. Emboldened by Sol’s fearful prowess he steps forward to within 30 feet and fires off a scorching ray at the yellow (ba) mustard.
