After a little while, Devlyn and Allura return to the center of the Oasis, looking quite rested and happy.
"Hey guys, we're going to go check out the Bazaar that Auruns has been talking about. We'll be back in a little while. Does anybody need us to look for anything while we're there?"
If you is being able to finding some good net, I would being most appreciate. Ethelbert's lobsters keeping put holes in mine.

"Got it - one pincer-proof net. I'll see what I can find. Anybody else?"

Devlyn and Allura head off across the sand towards the Bazaar...
The Warden fades from view.
Sailing in from the rising sun a Cutty Sark glides into view. She seems to be listing.
"And Kaelar - what do you think the possibilities are of making something so we can speak with the others at the Grove or the new Temple? I want to make sure everyone else is okay, but I don't know if it's wise to leave the Oasis yet either..."
*At Delvyn's request, The Bard smiles.*
"I knew making those gems would be a good idea. Now if I could only remember where I put them..."
*When he finally emerges from his forge/portable home, he is carrying a small box. He begins handing out gems(with whatever you want to turn them into jewelry, rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.), each changing color to match it's new owner.*
"Found them under an old piece of red ice. That stuff never seems to melt... Anyway, these should do the trick."
I watched some ice melt once......it was groovy.

*With the danger passed, Aidan returns to his training. Devlyn's influence can be seen, Aidan's movement is steady now, more graceful. Any looking closely can see a heat shimmer around him, but might think it's caused be the desert the Oasis sits in.*

"Hmm. The spark. I certainly didn't expect that."
The omniportal awakens again, then Devlyn and Allura walk through. They look a little dusty from their travel, but the looks on their faces indicate that the trip was well worth it. Allura is wearing a new outfit in lavender and violet, and Devlyn's cloak appears to have a new brooch holding it in place.
They check to see who is around currently, if anybody...
"You is being back," Nimora says cheerfully. "It has being very quiet while you were being gone. I seeing some of your shopping is being success. Were you being have good time?"
I like having a good time....especially after I've chewed on some shrooms.....shrooms are neat.....I'm not neat....my house is usually a mess....I tried cleaning my house once, but I got tired.....sometimes, when I'm tired, I like to sleep....when I was sleeping the other night, I had a dream about flying.....I flew in a plane once, and I got sick.....I was sick a few weeks ago....I think it was because I had some bad shrooms....shrooms are neat.....
"You is being back," Nimora says cheerfully. "It has being very quiet while you were being gone. I seeing some of your shopping is being success. Were you being have good time?"
"We did! It's an amazing place - it would take hours to describe everything we saw. We'll have to take you and Mirathan there when you're comfortable with your land legs," he says with a smile.
Devlyn then reaches into his Haversack.
"Now - we come bearing gifts," he says with a playful gleam in his eye.
*stalks through the thread, looking for a cheerleader to chew on*
"Ooooh, presents," she says, clapping her hands in delight. "Mirathan! Come be seeing please. They being bring presents."
In a conspiratorial whisper, "He has being been very quiet and wanting to be alone muchly. It is being drive me nuts."

He stifles his laugh expertly, though the corners of his mouth do twitch just a little. He leans in and whispers back:
"I think he's just intimidated by you, that's all. And with this, he'll have even more reason to be," as he pulls out something wrapped in oilskin.
Her eyes open wide, like a small child on Christmas morning. "Oh, what is being inside? May I being open it?"

He places the bundle in her arms.
"Go ahead - I hope you like them."
She squeals with delight when she opens the package. "I is not being sure what the crystal is being for, but I have wanting one of these special nets for long time. Well, not so long for elves, but I is being still young for an elf and I is often not so much patient. Oh, it is being so beautiful," she says pulling it out and admiring it. "I is thanking you so very, very much."

"That crystal, and this one," pulling out the Demolition crystal, "attach to your trident to give it a little magic 'boost'. The one you're holding works on undead, and this one works on constructs. I figured that you and Mirathan can swap them out between yourselves as needed. Just in case more of those things come back."
"Ah, that is making much sense then. Thank you. That is being very thoughtful gift as well." She attaches the truedeath crystal to her trident, and gives the force web a few practice twirls.

"You're welcome, and I'm glad you like them," he says with a brilliant grin.
Devlyn and Allura proceed to parcel out whatever anybody else requested that they were able to find . Allura notices that Devlyn is genuinely enjoying himself during this bit of organized chaos, and it's infectious... :)
Kaelar passes out the new communication gems to everyone as well, and things begin to settle back down...
Mirathan pops up from the depths. He looks exhausted.
Trying to manage school rivalries with fish is beyond insane!

Devlyn shakes his head and laughs.
"Well, maybe it's time for a break. Here." He tosses Mirathan something small and shiny.

Ooh, pretty. Thank you.
What is it?
Ooh, pretty. Thank you.
What is it?
"It's an augment crystal, you attach it to your trident. It will give it some extra abilities against a particular foe - in this case, construct-types. Nimora has one for undead, and I figured you two could swap them out as needed."

Any extra punch is a good thing. Thank you again.
Mirathan attaches it to his trident and admires the way it sparkles above water. He views it from underwater as well.

Aquaan: "Mirathan, did you see the wonderful new net they got for me? Oh, and it looks like they brought nice presents for you too. I so love presents," she adds with an infectious grin.

"And I see that Kaelar found what he was looking for. Once we all have these, we'll be able to communicate no matter what location we're at - good stuff."
Nimora takes her communication crystal and fastens it onto one of her hair ornaments.
Aquaan: "I'm getting to be downright sparkly," she says jokingly.

Take care that you do not start looking too much like a fishing lure. ;)

Oh, you! She playfully splashes at him. I is not looking anything like fishing lure, she adds in mock indignation.
Leaning over to whisper in Allura's ear:
"Mirathan has no idea, does he?"

Allura stifles a giggle and whispers back:
He may be the single most clueless male I have ever met.

"Ouch - be nice, love" he says, trying not to laugh himself."Shall we leave Nimora to her 'hunt' and head back to the Bazaar?"
Paddng backwards away from the attack, Mirathan looks over the new weapon,
obviously impressed by the storage capacity.
Time to try this out.
He aims for a coconut on one of the palms, and nails it. Pleased with the result, he shoots 3 more times and nails 3 more.
'I'm a bit better with a crossbow than a trident', he admits. 'You try the coco-nut water yet?'

She looks impressed.
Aquaan: "Yes, I can see that you have found the right weapon for you. I have not tried the coconut water yet, but I guess I can now," she adds with a laugh, going to retrieve one of the fallen coconuts, pulling the bolt from it, and tipping the liquid into her mouth."Mmmm. It's delicious."
"Ouch - be nice, love" he says, trying not to laugh himself."Shall we leave Nimora to her 'hunt' and head back to the Bazaar?"
Sounds like a good plan to me.
