Stuff]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Ma 7th,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
1:10 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet is happy to help the Captain heal up. He seems to
be a decent sort.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He thinks about this ridiculously huge giant. Gads,
what treasure could he have? But how would you find it? It
could be anywhere. And you certainly couldn’t teleport to it
without a reference.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet wonder what the others think about that...
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn collects hairs from the storm giant for later
use. He then checks any pockets but finds noting but lint and the
above average great sword already mentioned.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Arawn stares at the giant and murmurs about finding the
lair. It would be easy but getting there exactly would be
tricky. Unali hears Arawn's murmurs and comments.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"The last Storm Giant I encountered had a large
floating castle in the sky where he lived lavishly. But it was well
guarded by all kinds of creatures. I remember at the time we had a good
fight in the courtyard. That has been years ago. How time
flies." Unali finishes cleaning her dagger on the giant's
pants leg.

8th,
1636TH]<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
12:40 pm – Kril Bes – Capital of Besam]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Before
Dorhak heads further in]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
When Arawn overheard the besamar compliment the presence of
the Sidh among the party the alfar smiled, his eyes twinkling when their
eyes met. Waiting until after Dorhak had left he made pleasant with any
besamar willing to speak to the party.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Between rounds of banter he asked, "I've heard of the
besamar but have never had the pleasure of your people's hospitality. I
overheard that elves have been here before and that the sidh are favored
here. Is that true? And are there elves nearby??" He
paused before adding, "Pardon the questions but I'm new to these
lands and this world."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The Besamer is silent for a few moments, “we will ...have to
discuss that later. Once things are resolved here.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
12:42 pm – Kril Bes – Capital of Besam]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Kiet doesn’t mind being left behind. It gives him a
chance to look around and just rest. Walking all the way up here
isn’t exactly his forte. That’s why we use horses. At least
he’s spent plenty of time in mountain areas though.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Tsia watches Fremea as they wait at the gate and tilts her
head curiously, "What is it like?" she muses "to fly with
such a small body? Is it hard?" she holds out her hands
imploringly, "I do not mean insult," she offers quickly. Trying
to get her face to soften from it's normal glare and scowl.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"I have longed to be able to fly, it might have helped
me escape from my family, but I had not known of any such as yourself,
then again, I do not know if they would have helped," she gives a
grimace.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea has some flashbacks of people in streets or ships
calling her demon simply because she had wings and looked
different. Such ignorant folks.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea stares at the one eye woman with a startled look. No
one ever asked her how flying is. Especially a human. She never thought
about it before, it just always was and is what she does. "I do not
know any different. It has always been that I do fly, can you think of
what it would be like to walk with a different body? I can only say it is
a pity that your kind has no concept of flying, cause then I would not
have to hid my abilitye so others are not scared of me."
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She pauses a moment in thought, damn you Arawn. She
remembers her own escape for a moment and thinks how it would not really
have matter if she had flown or walked to get out, she just know she had
to leave, even if she didn't understand that she could have made
difference if she stayed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"Yes, flying to escape is useful, though sometimes it
is best to be hidden instead. You are exposed when in the air, no real
place to hide and if you are slow there are many things that can catch
you." She remembers that lesson well. She shivers. "It is best
to master all your tools that you have, even if that is only walking, or
running. And if you want to learn new ones, what would you enjoy
learning?"
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Fremea then smiles a bit. Remembering the half-giant
Raban who could actually fly. Course he was half human. She wonders
where the Bard is today somewhere back in Donara she figures. Such
a odd relationship to have a 4 foot wee thing like her befriend a 8 foot
400 pound man.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Once in the Kril, Unali will relax and sit at ease in the
shadowy halls of the besamer. The Captain feels it is best to have the
book guarded here, and clearly Arawn doesn't oppose that thought, so she
bows to their decision. She looks around when the group enters if there
are any clear weaknesses in the defense of the Kril. At least the door
seems impressive enough. But it is not so much a large army that she
would worry about, but more a lone thief.

--------------------------
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
12:48 pm – Kril Bes – Capital of Besam]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Inside
Bes Kril]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Gnorf departs back to the gate.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok accompanies Dorhak through the huge halls in wonder.
Surely these besamer didn't always build such huge spaces. They must have
found these caves and converted them for their own uses – and did a
marvelous job, efficiently placing similar workstations together, so
resources could be delivered to various central points as needed, and
need not have to be delivered 'scattered all over here &
yonder' as his father's foreman used to say. What made these passages?
Giants? Dragons? Oh – they had just met a giant – duh!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok Became alert upon hearing the word runemaster. He had
only heard that title once before, and that position, among the dwarves
in the mines along the borders of Donaran, had been vacant for a long
while. The previous Runemaster had died, and they were waiting for a
replacement to be sent to them. Such skilled masters were rare, he had
been told, and occasionally moved between the various mining colonies if
really needed. Although, more often, the petitioners traveled to where
the runemaster lived. At least, that was how he understood it to be, from
explanations given to him in the past. Being as this place had a king,
they were better able to have a runemaster, too.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Raddok hoped what he remembered being told was correct, or
he might make a blunder. He might anyway, and hoped his experiences back
in Donara would give him the proper amount of courtesy needed here. One
never knew what to expect day to day, did one? He was glad to let Dorhak
take the lead, & just listened to their exchange, nodding his
agreement to Dorhak's story.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Dorhak heard this is a runemaster and straightens up a
bit. Hopefully the human, Raddok, understands the honor which is
his today. Not many humans are so blessed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"It’s a bit of a long story. Far too long to
start from the beginning. I am the a Captain of a vessel my
companions and I claimed in lieu of payment. These companions are
my crew (except for the crazy one-eyed human female) Well,
unfortunately, we were forced to help a human that had found an abandoned
dwarf kril. He couldn’t get past the wards. I was barely able
to bypass them alive.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"This human then runs off ahead, completely heedless of
the danger to him or us, and we took chase. We catch him attempting
to steal one of the kril treasures. Thieving! Naturally, we
try to stop him but in doing so, he set off another ward (actually, two)
but it delayed us enough for him to escape thru a magic portal to your
land, here. You see, from what we’ve been able to cobble together,
we are many, many leagues from our homes far in the west.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"We were able to follow the thief thru the portal, and
arrived in time to find him dead. We were attacked by some
disgusting Kotothi which we dispatched, but also found there were other
humans waiting for the thief. They gave him his final reward.
Well, that still didn’t pay my kin for their imprisonment, so we went
after the murderers. We finally caught up with them but, before we could
deal with them fully, Gnorf and his people found us with them and thought
we were other, what were they called, oh yes! Barn raiders.
No, wait! Harn raiders.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
"The thought we would be part of these Harn is
repugnant. And insulting.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
“Well, it turns out The portal brought us far beyond our
lands and to yours. We seek any help to get us back home. I
have to get back to my ship.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The runemaster nods, he seems to glance behind the two to
some point in the room. Then back to Dorhak. Raddok takes a
split second to pretend to clear dust from his eye and use side vision to
glance at the area the Bes looked. The walls are spartan but Raddok
does notice a gem glimmer in the candlelight. Could it be magical?
Could the two be tested by magic?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The runemaster nods, “Gnorf has said such. I have some
questions. Where ..what land was this kril or cave? What was the
human searching for some reward you speak of? What was in the cave and
the wards? You pass over “imprisoned dwarves”? Gnorf would've
surely said ships can be found in Harn to the north. I'm sure he'd
suggest going there if needed a ship.” He waves his hands open to his
side in a what can we do for you gesture. “What can we do for you
no water for ships exist for miles. I need the info above so I can
give our Archivist to research. There may be details in our records
to help. What did this reward look? Ike would help as well.”
<x-tab> </x-tab>
A Bes female enters with a tray in hand wearing only a loin
cloth and a simple pouch around her hip. She places the try of food
and ale on the table and leaves right after. The food include fruits,
peanuts, nuts and hot breads.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Outside at the gate Gnorf and several Bes follow.
Gnorf greets the others as the large huge gate slowly rises gain.
Gnorf slides under and bids the party fare well as he collects the two
remaining horses to head down to the dwarf village below.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The Bes who follow bring food and ale for those who wait and
wish to partake in the treats as the same in the conference room.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next update...Saturday?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: A
short update. I already said lair was too late. But did get
an email about it before I said that technically. If a way can be
figured out AND a majority want we can go to lair let me know vote
wise. With 11 of us need 6 for majority. Dorhak will have to
reply then we move on. Though, a lair action could result in deaths
so it could affect future timeline. ;) Will try for update Saturday if I
have time but if not then Tue/wed. Rather have votes soon but no later
than next Tuesday thanks.
