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."
And now we have a way to get them down from those trees.
Mirathan joins Nimora for a treat of 'co-co-nut water'.
She laughs as some of the coconut water dribbles out of her mouth.
Aquaan: It's delicious, but a little messy. Thank you for the coconut, Mirathan.

Aquaan: It's delicious, but a little messy. Thank you for the coconut, Mirathan.
You're welcome. I've seen landwalkers climb these trees to get them, but I don't trust my land legs well enough to try it myself. I've had co-co-nuts that have fallen on their own.
He pulls out his dagger and splits the coconut open. Carving out a bit of meat from it he offers it to Nimora.
The meat inside is even better than the water.

She takes it eagerly, smelling it first, and then licking it before she pops it into her mouth and eats it. She closes her eyes in delight.
Mmmmm. You're right. It is better. It's so sweet.
Nimora and Mirathan enjoy the simple treat under the palms.
"It's a miracle!!!!...........Oh. No, nevermind...."
"It's a miracle!!!!...........Oh. No, nevermind...."
Devlyn and Allura head back to the Bazaar.
*Kiba slowly walks into the Oasis. He lets out a lupine sigh as he lies down in the shade of an Oasis tree. He seems tired and seems preoccupied by something.*
Devlyn and Allura head back to the Bazaar.
*Watching them leave, Oroth walks over to Aidan.*
"I think I'll see what's so great about this 'Bazaar'. Aidan, do nothing to draw undo attention to yourself. Do you want me to get you anything?"
*Aidan thinks it over.*
"Maybe a fire opal or ruby. You know something good at storing power?"
He looks around quickly and leans closer to Oroth*
"Hey, when are we going to tell everyone we're brothers?"
"Hey, when are we going to tell everyone we're brothers?"
*Whispering even softer and moving away from anobody nearby, Oroth ansewrs.*
"I'm not sure we should. I don't think they trust me even a little bit. Its bad enough the creeps at the Carnival now I'm a kid, what do you think they'd do if they knew we were family?"*Oroth straightens and begins to talk just a bit louder than necessary.*
"So red gems huh? I'll see what I can do."
*Shadows whirl around him, and he's gone.*
Ethelbert peers from the waters, wondering where the tasty goblins are going
QUIET DOWN YOU LITTLE PUNKS! AND GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!

"This is an Oasis old man, which means there is no lawn!"

What do you call that green stuff over there then?

"A cat's guts in the grass"?!? What the hell are you talking about whippersnapper? Make sense. You ain't on drugs, are ya?

Your listen checks didn't get a boost when you went up an age category did it old man?
*The Bard suddenly emerges from his forge.*
"I fear something is happening at the Winds old stronghold. Who will travel there with me.?"
*Rio, Kiba, DbJ, and even Aidan chose to go. The omniportal flashes as the rush in.*
Nimora also goes with the Bard when he leaves to investigate the disturbance at the Place of the Wind.
Ethelbert goes on high alert by the portal
*The omniportal flashes as Oroth walks through. He searches the Oasis, but cannot find Aidan.*
"Does anyone know where Aidan is?"
Nimora comes back through the portal shortly after Oroth.
"Aidan is being with Kaelar right now. They is being go to someplace very hot. So Kaelar can being help Aidan controlling his new powers. Do not be worrying. Kaelar will being take good care of Aidan."

"New powers? I forgive me for not understanding, but did something happen while I was gone? Did something happen to my br- um, to Aidan?"

"It is possible that he may be the new Champion of Flame. A disturbing possibility. I would be wary, if I were you."
The goblin approaches PlantJack, his desert robes flapping.
You be one of the champions of the boards?
"Indeed I am. Aren't you that goblin who serves the 8th Runelord?"
I would be wary, if I were you."
"I have nothing to fear from Aidan."
I would be wary, if I were you.""I have nothing to fear from Aidan."
"It isn't that. Champions are in constant danger. Especially since the Tsar likely wants his job back. Be careful. Or--Aidan meeds protection."
I would be wary, if I were you.""I have nothing to fear from Aidan."
"I is thinking Oroth is being right. Aidan is being a good person. He is being a friend. He will not being hurt us. Not on purpose. I is think that is being why Kaelar is being help him learning control."
"It isn't that. Champions are in constant danger. Especially since the Tsar likely wants his job back. Be careful. Or--Aidan meeds protection."I would be wary, if I were you.""I have nothing to fear from Aidan."
"Oh, yes, that is being very different meaning. I is going try to being watch his back, but I is think that we can be doing it better if we is both watch his back, Oroth."
"Aidan has many friends who will protect him."
*The sunlight seems to fades from the area ever so slightly.*
"Indeed I am. Aren't you that goblin who serves the 8th Runelord?"The goblin approaches PlantJack, his desert robes flapping.
You be one of the champions of the boards?
Uh, one of them.
Auruns take sample of the stuff which reddish skeletons that attack the oasis the other day turn to when dead to the bazaar and spend a good deal of time asking a great many sages and wise men questions about it.
Sages say analysis very difficult, some say undead, some say constructs.
Eighth Runelord busy watching for moves by something dangerous and sneaky-clever, and not have time to take look at sample.
All sages say that attacking creatures likely created by powerful wizard or necromancer, and one say that nine thousand years ago a dracolich from the Realm of Dreams try something similar, but his magic not work very well and skeletons then fall to pieces if they try to fight; but Auruns see that skeletons which attack Oasis not fall to pieces when they fight, but need knocking apart, so Auruns think that this must be a better wizard than that dracolich.
"Thank you, Auruns. This is most helpful." Plantjack seems to smile, though it's hard to tell on a plant.
Maybe we can use the crystal Devlyn brought us, and the bolts we use to drive sharks away? Construct damage and bludgeoning. Better than getting close to those things.

"Is being good idea. The crystal he was being give me for fight undead is being work excellent well. But I is not being familiar with bolts you is speaking of...Oh, is you mean the bolts from your crossbow? Yes, is being very good idea. You is being much better with crossbow than trident and I is not having to worry so much about you being stay safe."
