Spring Sapling looks up
Something dire has occured at the Grove of the Ancients ..
She jumps down from the oak and runs to the pond shouting
CHAMPIONS OF WATER! YOU ARE CALLED TO COUNSEL! THE GROVE HAS BEEN ATTACKED!
[Tentative]Since I didn't see anything posted for them, I guess they would have gone to check things out, then Devlyn would have returned to make sure the Oasis not left unguarded...[/Tentative]

Can we assume that Spring Sapling would update those of us back at the Oasis about LJ's recovery through her link to the Tree Emperor? I'm kinda at a loss of what to do at the moment, due to the lack of 'in-character' information... :D
If not thru E7, Spring Sapling would have felt LJ's connection to the World Tree.

I was hoping so. We really need to get an inter-thread communication system... ;)
The Board Warden |
The Board Warden wrote:A strange figure walks thru the center of the Oasis, straight over the waters of the pools. He no longer winks out of existence as he walks."Uh - who in the Nine Hells are you?" Devlyn says as he gets ready for the next disaster... :)
The stranger stops and tilts his head to the side as he is questioned. He seems to look thru the Dalesman.
I am the Warden.
He turns back to his path, continues walking, and fades from the thread.
EDIT: For Devlyn
The Dalesman |
From the center of the pool a man-shaped puddle of water rises. The water sheds from the form, revealing the Warden. He sits upon the water, and seems to be waiting for something or someone.
After a moment his gaze turns towards the kobolds.
Devlyn steps in between the kobolds and the Warden. He looks a little on guard now.
"Hi there - is there something we can help you with? Who or what are you looking for that makes you feel the need to traipse through here like a wraith and spook the locals?"

The Warden looks confused.
I am the Warden. They are my family.

Devlyn looks back at the kobolds, then back to the Warden.
"Not seeing the resemblance. But I've seen stranger things today already. Let's leave him be for now, Mirathan - I don't think he means any harm here."He goes over to a rock, shaking his head, and sits down.
And time to commute home...back in an hour or so :)

Esmerelda stares in surprise.
"That's not what he meant. You serve the Board?"The Dalesman |
Not wanting to disturb the conversation, Nimora swims over to Devlyn. What is being this 'board' they speaking of?
Devlyn looks tired as he talks with Nimora when she comes over. The day's events and the long night may finally be catching up to him.
"I'm not entirely sure. Some reference to an overarching connection between all of the places around here, maybe? I know that whatever Serafina did to Club Calistria, it was involved. And neither Alaina nor LJ are too fond of reference to its 'power'."
The Dalesman |
Allura steps behind Devlyn and gently rubs his shoulders.
"You should get some rest. You won't do anyone any good if you collapse from exhaustion. The rest of us can keep watch for you for a few hours."
He looks up at her and smiles.
"I know, love - you're right. I'll just try to catch a little catnap."He gets up and gives her a quick kiss, then goes off to get some sleep. If the temple behind the waterfall has an actual bed in it, he will probably take advantage of that, if Allura doesn't mind of course - he's probably shouldn't be sleeping on the ground all the time :)
And that makes a good stopping point for me, as it's time for dinner. G'night All! :)
The Dalesman |
"Good morning." He is awakened by a smiling Allura, sitting on the edge of the bed next to him.
"I brought breakfast," she adds, holding up a basket of fresh fruit.
His eyes open slowly as he turns to her and smiles back.
"Good Morning to you too, love. Breakfast in bed sounds like a great idea," he says as he sits up and scoots over.The Dalesman |
reposting as my earlier attempt got eaten.
She handed him a peach. "We had a quiet night, thank goodness. Are you feeling better with some sleep in an actual bed?"
Understood - I got logged out somehow, and now the pages are taking forever to load...
He nods and laughs quietly, then takes the peach and bites into it.
"Well, I thought it would be a nice change of pace, but I won't let it spoil me. Don't worry - I don't mind at all sleeping out under the trees," he says with a wink.
"You didn't need to let me sleep this long. Especially if you didn't get any rest..."

She smiles and shakes her head. "Don't be silly. We took turns keeping watch. It was my turn to sleep under the trees. Besides, you needed the rest."
She took a bite of a peace, the juice dribbling down her chin."Auruns keeps mentioning a bazaar over the sand dunes a ways. I was thinking maybe we should go check it out today. Maybe some clothes shopping," she adds with a wry smile.

He returns her grin as he says:
"Really? Then let's go....I did say I needed to 'freshen up' my wardrobe, didn't I? It should be fun!"He runs a finger under her chin to catch the juice, a mischevious twinkle in his eyes. "Oh dear...looks like you've got some on you..." he says as he moves to get up and get dressed.

"I don't suppose you happen to have a napkin?" she asks with an equally mischievous smile. "No? Well, I guess I'll just have to go for a swim to freshen up before we leave..."

"I think you'll have to, yes. Darn...guess I'll have to come along so nobody disturbs your privacy, now won't I?"
He quickly grabs up everything they'll need for their little trip to the bazaar later.
