You have just entered room "werphere."
PsychoQuadDuck has entered the room.
FFFan80 has entered the room.
NebbieQ has entered the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
THENinjaRabbi has entered the room.
The Net Spider has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (So, you guys good to go?)
FFFan80: (GTG)
THENinjaRabbi: (Ready)
PsychoQuadDuck: (All set.)
NebbieQ: (Yep.)
Lithaladhwen: *Damon has just finished a rather unproductive conversation with Glinss't, and Kei was approaching the group after talking to Rilla and Rendon*
THENinjaRabbi: *Looks over at Kei*
THENinjaRabbi: So, what have you figured out?
FFFan80: *likewise*
Lithaladhwen: *Dawn is standing there*
Lithaladhwen: *Just a reminder*
THENinjaRabbi: (Oh. Shit. Scratch that.)
NebbieQ: ( :-( Just as I was typing a response.)
PsychoQuadDuck: *Damon is once again disappointed*
NebbieQ: Well, I believe that I'm done talking with the children.
THENinjaRabbi: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: Dawn: They're not used to strangers. How were they?
NebbieQ: I...did not realise that the girl I saw was Rilla, until it was too late. >_>; I'm afraid that I scared her.
NebbieQ: However, her brother is calming her down now.
THENinjaRabbi: That's good.
Lithaladhwen: D: Oh. I'm sorry. Rendon should take care of her. He always does.
NebbieQ: However, I was able to talk to Rendon for a while. He was helpful.
Lithaladhwen: D: He has a little more confidence than his sister.
Lithaladhwen: D: Especially when he's worried about her.
NebbieQ: *nod* He's a very good brother to her, from what I was able to see.
Lithaladhwen: D: He tries very hard to be a brother for all of them.
FFFan80: *leans against the nearby wall, just keeping a look around. Conversationalist, he is not =[*
Lithaladhwen: Joss: *taps Stephen* Can you show me how to do that thing you did to the rock?
PsychoQuadDuck: *Damon also seems to be unwilling to converse further at this time*
Lithaladhwen: D: I'm going to go check on the twins. *to everyone* Will you be all right here for a moment?
NebbieQ: We will be fine.
Lithaladhwen: *nods and goes*
FFFan80: ...eh? *looks down* 6\/6
Lithaladhwen: Joss: How did you do that? That was awesome!
FFFan80: ......
THENinjaRabbi: *shifts his weight uncomfortably*
NebbieQ: *Watches Joss talk to Stephan, curious and a bit amused.*
FFFan80: ...maybe some other time kid.
NebbieQ: (be right back.)
Lithaladhwen: Joss: Oh. Okay.
FFFan80: ....
THENinjaRabbi: So.
FFFan80: ...
THENinjaRabbi: What now?
FFFan80: You need something else? 6\/6?
THENinjaRabbi: I really hate just standing around.
Lithaladhwen: J: ... No. I guess not. v.v
FFFan80: ....
NebbieQ: (Back.)
PsychoQuadDuck: Nothing else I can think of, Kerov.
NebbieQ: If we do not stay the rest of the day, then I suggest leaving when Miss Dawn returns.
Lithaladhwen: J: ...I can go get her if you need to go.
NebbieQ: Well, when did you want to leave?
Lithaladhwen: J: Well.... we really should get going. I'll go get her.
Lithaladhwen: J: *goes to find Dawn. They return*
NebbieQ: I suggest waiting unti-
Lithaladhwen: D: I understand you want to head out now?
NebbieQ: *Well, guess who just got interrupted!*
Lithaladhwen: *Kids do that*
NebbieQ: It would be wise to leave before it dark again, yes.
THENinjaRabbi: Besides, this sounds pretty important.
Lithaladhwen: D: That's fine. Whatever you're comfortable with. Will Joss be going with you?
THENinjaRabbi: Yes. It is his task, after all.
Lithaladhwen: J: *peeks out from behind Dawn*
Lithaladhwen: J: Of course I'm coming!
NebbieQ: Where are the giants supposed to be, by the way?
THENinjaRabbi: I figure Joss knows where they are.
Lithaladhwen: J: *points* I know where they are.
FFFan80: *taps the little tyke*
Lithaladhwen: J: Huh? What?
FFFan80: You're sure you're ready for this?
FFFan80: o_ó You know, they probably won't hold back, just cause you're a kid.
Lithaladhwen: J: I know. *wince* I know. That's not the point.
FFFan80: ...
FFFan80: And that would be?
Lithaladhwen: D: *sigh* Well, be careful.
Lithaladhwen: J: The point? I have to go. That's the point.
FFFan80: Uh huh...
THENinjaRabbi: Then let us go.
FFFan80: >_> .....
Lithaladhwen: J: All right! *to Dawn* I promise I'll be back.
Lithaladhwen: D: I should certainly hope so.
NebbieQ: IM: Even if we left him behind, he'd run away.
NebbieQ: IM: At least this way, we can keep an eye on him.
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: If we can't keep him safe, it'd be more prudent for me not to ever return to Doma.
NebbieQ: Hmn. Could you tell us where the giants are, before we leave?
NebbieQ: It will help us to prepare.
Lithaladhwen: J: I can lead you there.
Lithaladhwen: J: They live in a cave *points* that way.
THENinjaRabbi: How far?
Lithaladhwen: J: Not long. They don't leave their caves much anymore, I don't think.
Lithaladhwen: J: Take us about an hour to get there.
Lithaladhwen: J: Hold on.
NebbieQ: *nod* In that case, we should do well enough with our supplies.
THENinjaRabbi: *nods* We'll have to get ready.
Lithaladhwen: J: *goes over and gives Glinss't a little hug, to which Glinss't does not respond* I'll be back!
Lithaladhwen: J: *returns* Okay. Let's go. *heads toward the gate, which Glinss't opens for him*
THENinjaRabbi: *Goes outside, and waits for the others*
NebbieQ: IM: I wonder why that...thing is here, anyways.
NebbieQ: *Follows Kerov.*
PsychoQuadDuck: *proceeds to follow Kei*
NebbieQ: IM: Perhaps Mister Altec would know more about him.
THENinjaRabbi: Has anyone ever seen a storm giant before?
Lithaladhwen: J: I have.
THENinjaRabbi: I'm afraid my area of expertise is more in line with demons.
THENinjaRabbi: ...well, besides you, little guy.
FFFan80: *when they are a bit away from the estate, Stephan suddenly stops Joss*
Lithaladhwen: J: What?
NebbieQ: I have not, but perhaps he could tell us what they're like.
THENinjaRabbi: *nods*
PsychoQuadDuck: I'm afraid I know nothing of storm giants either.
FFFan80: If you're going to be tagging along while we're fighting these things... I want to know how prepared you really are for this.
Lithaladhwen: J: *looks stoic and manly*
FFFan80: ...*draws out his GreatSword*
Lithaladhwen: J: O.o
FFFan80: ...Well? You said you were ready.
Lithaladhwen: J: I am. I just don't know where you're going with this.
THENinjaRabbi: *chuckles a bit*
Lithaladhwen: J: *looks confused*
NebbieQ: *Looks thoughtful* In truth...he would be an easier challenger than these giants.
THENinjaRabbi: I think that thing's a little too big for him.
NebbieQ: I believe he wants to see for himself what you can do.
FFFan80: *suddenly!*
FFFan80: *he swings! Holy crap, is he trying to decapitate him?*
THENinjaRabbi: *Immediately draws Goel*
Lithaladhwen: *Joss jumps back a little, crying out in surprise*
PsychoQuadDuck: *gets very tense all of a sudden*
NebbieQ: *Holds up an arm.*
NebbieQ: *hand
Lithaladhwen: *runs up and stomps on Stephen's foot hard*
Lithaladhwen: J: Stupid! I'm not fighting you!
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: *sheaths sword*
NebbieQ: ...if you can pause for a moment, I have an idea.
THENinjaRabbi: Dammit, man.
Lithaladhwen: J: Does it involve trying to kill me?
FFFan80: Well, you didn't piss yourself. You've got guts
THENinjaRabbi: Give us some freaking warning first.
Lithaladhwen: J: Because you shouldn't do that!
NebbieQ: I should hope not.
THENinjaRabbi: *Resheathes Goel*
NebbieQ: *AHEM*
Lithaladhwen: J: Of course I didn't. I'm a man.
PsychoQuadDuck: *Damon's tenseness has not faded*
FFFan80: *looks to Kerov*
FFFan80: Then it wouldn't be much of a surprise <_<
NebbieQ: When we find these giants, it would not be wise to attack them head on. I am not saying to sneak around in the shadows, merely to be...wiser with our abilities.
THENinjaRabbi: You could have warned ME.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: Like I said. Not much of a surprise.
NebbieQ: Could you save the debate for later, sirs?
Lithaladhwen: J: We need to kill giants. Not me. Are we all okay with that?
FFFan80: Sorry. You were saying, no charging in spells blazing?
NebbieQ: Or at least, be able to focus the spells.
THENinjaRabbi: Joss, what can you tell us about them, 'sides the fact that they're both "giant" and "stormy?"
FFFan80: Not a problem <_<
NebbieQ: For example, it would not be good for Mister Altec to merely attack one with his sword with no thought.
NebbieQ: However, if he could get close enough, he could disable it. For example, I've found that most enemies find it difficult to walk with their ankles sliced open.
THENinjaRabbi: Well, if I can get in close enough, I'll go for it.
Lithaladhwen: J: They can use electricity. Duh. So it doesn't work on them I think.
THENinjaRabbi: I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Lithaladhwen: J: I told you they control the weather.
FFFan80: *thinks*
THENinjaRabbi: *nods* Thank you, Joss.
NebbieQ: As for me, I'm quite skilled with a bow. It's hard for a giant to see us when it's eyes are blinded.
Lithaladhwen: J: *nods back*
FFFan80: Is there any weather they don't like much?
Lithaladhwen: J: Well... not really. And besides, if they don't like the weather... they change it.
NebbieQ: Hmn. Something to be aware of, even if we can't change it.
NebbieQ: Mister Hyral, you know of some magic, correct?
FFFan80: I blow my fair share of shit up, yes.
FFFan80: Anything in paticular you have in mind?
Lithaladhwen: J: *looks as though Stephan might have gained back some of his respect. A lot in fact*
NebbieQ: Something that can distract them while you stay a fair distance away.
FFFan80: *think*
NebbieQ: If we both distract the giants from far away, the others can get in closer.
FFFan80: Well, I'm guessing a giant circle of slashing blades might just piss em off a bit
THENinjaRabbi: That would work.
NebbieQ: If you can keep your distance while doing so, that will be fine.
NebbieQ: *Looks to Damon.* And what of you?
PsychoQuadDuck: Well, I have a little magic, but I'd be much better if I can get close.
NebbieQ: *nods*
NebbieQ: How large are these giants, by the way?
PsychoQuadDuck: I'm pretty good at bringing opponents swiftly off their feet.
NebbieQ: Excellent.
FFFan80: ...and you're going to manage that with something, potentially double your size o_ó
Lithaladhwen: J: Uh... 21 feet or so?
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: Make that triple
PsychoQuadDuck: I imagine it's still possible, yes.
Lithaladhwen: J: I think. Should be about right. *shrugs, unconcerned*
PsychoQuadDuck: If I have to I'll drive this staff into their knee.
NebbieQ: *nod* An about how many are usually in a group?
THENinjaRabbi: I think he mentioned four.
NebbieQ: Ah, excuse me.
Lithaladhwen: (I'm quitting the whole 'J:' thing.)
Lithaladhwen: Yes. Four.
NebbieQ: And one last thing.
THENinjaRabbi: I know a few spells. I can give two of you a little bit of resistance to electricity.
NebbieQ: If we can, we should try and find a way to separate the giants. That way, all four won't be attacking us at once.
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: About how big is that cavern?
NebbieQ: I assume that it's quite spacious.
Lithaladhwen: Big enough to hold giants.
FFFan80: Hmm
FFFan80: *think think*
Lithaladhwen: They live there.
FFFan80: I know a spell or two that would be a pain in the ass to move through... could try that.
NebbieQ: What does it do?
Lithaladhwen: (be right back)
FFFan80: Well, two choices mainly
FFFan80: I could either make a wall of flame, or a barrier of blades
NebbieQ: A barrier of blades? o.o
FFFan80: Yes
Lithaladhwen: (back)
FFFan80: Pretty much a spinning circle of sharp metal
Lithaladhwen: Fire.
FFFan80: It's not pretty to be inside <_<
Lithaladhwen: Go with fire.
FFFan80: ?
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: Why's that? o_ó
NebbieQ: Do they not like it?
Lithaladhwen: Because it's fire.
FFFan80: .....
Lithaladhwen: Fire is awesome.
FFFan80: Sure it is.
FFFan80: But so's slicing and dicing things to bits
NebbieQ: ...I think we need a better reason.
Lithaladhwen: Sure. But it's fire!
NebbieQ: Mister Hyral, which one would be more helpful to us?
Lithaladhwen: Aw... fine. You know better thanI do.
FFFan80: Honestly... I'd say the blade barrier. It'll hurt them more if they try to go through it
THENinjaRabbi: And the same to us.
THENinjaRabbi: I don't use ranged weapons.
NebbieQ: Fire would hurt you, as well.
THENinjaRabbi: Yes, I know.
NebbieQ: Is there any way we can avoid getting hurt by them?
FFFan80: Well, ask... the cat here, s...he's the one asking me to seperate em
FFFan80: Hmm
FFFan80: I could start it high enough that it won't touch us.
THENinjaRabbi: First off, I don't know if we should run in there, guns blazing.
THENinjaRabbi: *spells blazing
FFFan80: But then they could possibly get under it
FFFan80: ....
THENinjaRabbi: (Kerov would not fully know about that term.)
NebbieQ: ...we were not planning on that, Mister Altec.
THENinjaRabbi: Maybe we can reason with them.
FFFan80: No shit pal, I think we just covered that.
Arch mage144: (I should hope not.)
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: >_< IM: For fuck's sake it's like travelling with Dan
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: Careful, Kerov.
NebbieQ: Hmn. How...much do these giants have up there?
NebbieQ: *Taps the temple area.*
THENinjaRabbi: I mean, sometimes you don't NEED to kill everything that moves.
THENinjaRabbi: And it's not like these are undead or something like that.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. They're smart. At least I think so.
FFFan80: But that's no fun >_>
NebbieQ: Do they think the way we do? Or at least, similar?
FFFan80: Damned if I know.
NebbieQ: Or are they more like clever beasts?
Lithaladhwen: I didn't really get much chance to talk to them. They talked to each other though.
NebbieQ: Hmn. Even if we can't truly reason with them...we can still do something similar to distract them.
NebbieQ: That is, if they happen to speak common.
FFFan80: ...and blow our chance to surprise them
FFFan80: And possibly get surprised in return.
THENinjaRabbi: Ok, how about this then.
NebbieQ: I'm merely going over different options.
THENinjaRabbi: I'll go in ahead.
FFFan80: .....
THENinjaRabbi: That way, they'll think it's only me. If things go badly, you're free to blast away.
FFFan80: How do you know they haven't seen us already?
NebbieQ: Then surprise is moot.
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah. They're pretty damn close to the cave and Joss stops you. You can still talk without worrying about being heard, but you're within sight of a huge freaking cave opening*
THENinjaRabbi: Indeed.
FFFan80: They could have scouts somewhere, mountain's big enough we may not see em
NebbieQ: IM: However, I'm not sure how much I trust him to negotiate. >_>
THENinjaRabbi: Maybe.
THENinjaRabbi: Then what's the point of planning?
Lithaladhwen: J: So, what are we going to do?
FFFan80: So we know what the fuck we're all doing when things go to hell? >_>
NebbieQ: Because not knowing what to do is-er, thank you, Mister Hyral.
PsychoQuadDuck: And possibly them as well, Stephan.
THENinjaRabbi: All I'm saying is give them a chance. I think we can do that.
Lithaladhwen: I don't think they'll want to talk about it.
Lithaladhwen: They didn't talk to me.
PsychoQuadDuck: Think about it. If they have scouts, no doubt they've heard us discussing plans already.
THENinjaRabbi: Hm.
NebbieQ: Hmn. What did you do when you first saw them?
NebbieQ: And what did they do?
Lithaladhwen: I told them why I was there! I was there to reclaim the sacred property of my father's family!
Lithaladhwen: When they found out what it was... I don't remember.
Lithaladhwen: I remember one of them looked angry and then I wasn't there anymore.
THENinjaRabbi: What IS it?
NebbieQ: ...and what was it?
Lithaladhwen: It's a headband. Green with a green crystal here. *gestures to middle of forehead* It's the symbol of my family's honorable status.
FFFan80: ....
FFFan80: This.... 'angry' one
FFFan80: did he look like he was moving his arms around and saying weird words?
Lithaladhwen: It was a she. And I didn't see her do any of that.
FFFan80: Any of the other ones?
THENinjaRabbi: Did you actually see them hurt you?
Lithaladhwen: I remember a hand coming toward me... but that's it. I don't remember what happened after that, but I remember pain later.
THENinjaRabbi: I see.
Lithaladhwen: This time will be different, though. I know it will!
NebbieQ: Hmn. Does the headband have any abilities? If so, that could be why the giants want it.
Lithaladhwen: My father told me that the heir to my family line could use it. He didn't know what it did. But I'm the heir! If I don't get it back, my family will never be respected again! All the other fathers will laugh at my dad!
FFFan80: ...'other' fathers?
Lithaladhwen: The other ones. The ones that have good sons.
Lithaladhwen: They'll laugh at us both.
FFFan80: Uh huh...
NebbieQ: *Looks down towards her swords, as the child says this.*
NebbieQ: IM: I'd be lying if I said I couldn't relate...
THENinjaRabbi: Alright. So we have to get this done.
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: Yes, we at least ought to do that.
FFFan80: Alright, there's only one quick way to resolve this
FFFan80: All in favor of Kerov walking in alone and hopefully NOT being squished in 3 seconds, raise your hand.
THENinjaRabbi: Hey, I'm a tough guy.
FFFan80: .....
FFFan80: Fine
FFFan80: Not being squished in 5 seconds, raise your hand.
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Son of a bitch.
NebbieQ: *Resists the urge to snicker. It's unbecoming of a disciplined warrior.*
NebbieQ: *...although it would be fun.*
Lithaladhwen: *does snicker a little*
PsychoQuadDuck: *slowly shakes his head*
THENinjaRabbi: *cracks his knuckles*
THENinjaRabbi: Fine, I won't go in alone. I just say we choose something.
FFFan80: Fine
FFFan80: All in favor of a surprise attack, raise your hand.
FFFan80: *does so*
Lithaladhwen: *...hand raises*
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: ....good luck with that.
NebbieQ: ...hmn. A comprimise.
FFFan80: ?
Lithaladhwen: I can go check things out and see what they're doing. I'll be a scout!
NebbieQ: Perhaps I could go ahead, and instead of confronting them, just see what it's like in there?
Lithaladhwen: Oh! Even better.
PsychoQuadDuck: Yes, certainly better.
THENinjaRabbi: Alright. That's fine.
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: No point in letting the kid go first.
THENinjaRabbi: I'd rather give them a chance than just run in there, murdering them.
NebbieQ: *nod* You should stay here with them. After all, you'll need your strength.
Lithaladhwen: True.
NebbieQ: I'm not going to murder them. >_> Merely investigate.
THENinjaRabbi: Yes, I know.
FFFan80: If I hear so much as a crack or a thwack though, all bets are off. >_>
THENinjaRabbi: Fair enough.
THENinjaRabbi: *Casts detect evil, to see if anything's lurking nearby*
Lithaladhwen: *nope*
NebbieQ: *And with that, Kei begins to make her way towards the cavern.*
THENinjaRabbi: *Eyes the cave*
PsychoQuadDuck: *as Kei goes in, Damon remains tensely on guard with the rest of the group*
Lithaladhwen: *Is Kei going in?*
NebbieQ: *Yes, as carefully as she can. Trying not to attract attention or anything.*
Arch mage144: (Moving silently or something?)
NebbieQ: (Yep. Want me to roll?)
Lithaladhwen: (yes please)
OnlineHost: NebbieQ rolled 1 20-sided die: 18
NebbieQ: (25)
Lithaladhwen: *Kei sneaks around in the cave. She notices that toward the back is an area that is dimly lit from where she stands. The tunnels curves a bit, so if she wants to see what's creating that light she'll have to go a bit further.*
FFFan80: *taps foot*
NebbieQ: *Kei will, but before she goes on, she'll try to listen for signs of others moving about.*
NebbieQ: (Roll for listen?)
Lithaladhwen: (yes)
OnlineHost: NebbieQ rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
NebbieQ: (Seven. ._. )
Lithaladhwen: *She doesn't hear anything that sounds like an angry or alerted giant.*
NebbieQ: *Well then! Of course she'll keep on moving!*
Lithaladhwen: *She gets to the bend in the tunnel, and hears what sounds like a large page turning. If she peeks around the corner, she'll see that the room looks to be lit by a few scattered lamps. It's an enormous sitting room.*
Lithaladhwen: *Inside are enormous pieces of furniture, and two enormous people.*
NebbieQ: *Waits, and tries to observe what they're doing.*
Lithaladhwen: *There is one male and one female. The male turns a page in his book. It's loud. Big pages. The female gets up and walks out of Kei's field of vision.*
NebbieQ: *Tries to remember; were there any split passages on the way down here?*
Lithaladhwen: *No.*
Lithaladhwen: *One way in, one way out, as far as she can tell.*
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Arch mage144 has entered the room.
NebbieQ: *Continues to observe, waiting for the male giant to either do something else, or to at least leave the room.*
Lithaladhwen: *The female returns. She speaks to the male in Giant. He replies. Very boring.*
FFFan80: ...it's been a bit.
NebbieQ: IM: Hmn. I might as well leave soon.
FFFan80: How much longer you figure we should give hi..he..
NebbieQ: *Will be sneaking back, providing neither giants are looking in her direction.*
FFFan80: ...our buddy there?
THENinjaRabbi: I dunno. Let's give him a few more minutes.
THENinjaRabbi: I don't hear anything that sounds like he was captured.
Lithaladhwen: *Kei moves back into the darkness as the male giant stands up. He says something to the female, who replies sharply.*
NebbieQ: IM: ...this may not be good.
NebbieQ: *Quickens the pace.*
Lithaladhwen: *Loud footsteps move toward the mouth of the cave, and Kei hears more words in Giant behind her.*
Lithaladhwen: *A voice speaks in Common.* G: You!
Lithaladhwen: *Those outside notice that it seems to be getting a little overcast*'
NebbieQ: *Pausees. Skreeech!*
NebbieQ: Er...hello, sir? ^^;
Lithaladhwen: G: You are in my home. You should not be here.
Lithaladhwen: G: Out. Now.
THENinjaRabbi: *Looks up* You said that they could control the weather, right?
NebbieQ: How convenient, I was just leaving!
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: What's taking so long in there?
NebbieQ: IM: ...that ruined our chances. >_<
Lithaladhwen: *Voices behind him start to move closer to Kei and this Giant. They sound like two females and another male.*
NebbieQ: *Begins to return outside. Quickly, quickly.*
FFFan80: .....
Lithaladhwen: *Giant follows her outside. The sky is darkening.*
FFFan80: Welllllll this is looking better and better e_e;
Lithaladhwen: *Another giant, female follows him. She speaks to him in Giant.*
THENinjaRabbi: Shit.
Lithaladhwen: *Male giant looks at the party members* G: You.
NebbieQ: IM: This is humiliating.
PsychoQuadDuck: *still very tense as he looks at the giant*
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Sneaking around is just asking for trouble.
Lithaladhwen: Female: *in common so you can understand* Kill them.
FFFan80: .......
FFFan80: Hello to you too e_e
Lithaladhwen: *Two more giants emerge. They look apathetic.*
THENinjaRabbi: Hey, hey. Woah.
PsychoQuadDuck: *soon as he hears that Damon twists his weapon to turn it into a spear*
PsychoQuadDuck: Kerov, don't even try it.
THENinjaRabbi: Now, I know this looks bad. But there's a logical explanation behind this.
Lithaladhwen: G: Why are you in my home.
THENinjaRabbi: (Trying diplomacy checks.)
THENinjaRabbi: We just came to ask questions.
FFFan80: IM: Aaaaand the hippy squad starts up
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 1 20-sided die: 17
THENinjaRabbi: We don't want any trouble, honestly.
NebbieQ: *Just makes sure to get away from the giants for now.*
FFFan80: ......
FFFan80: *checks for Joss*
NebbieQ: *After she's back with the group, Kei will be looking for the boy as well.*
Lithaladhwen: Giant: *crosses his arms patiently*
Lithaladhwen: *Joss is hiding behind Stephen, trying to be inconspicuous*
THENinjaRabbi: See, we met a little boy, and he says that you have something of his. We just wanted to find out if you knew where it was.
Lithaladhwen: *The female looks unconvinced, but isn't going to attack or anything.*
THENinjaRabbi: IM: *sigh of relief*
Lithaladhwen: Giant: Little boy. What little boy do you mean?
THENinjaRabbi: His name is Joss.
NebbieQ: A birthright of his fell into your hands.
PsychoQuadDuck: IM: Dammit, dammit, dammit Kerov! Soon as you tell them what's the problem they'll kill you first! Don't you LISTEN??
FFFan80: ¬_¬ ...*watches for the first sign of trouble*
Lithaladhwen: Giant: *eyes widen as he notices Joss behind Stephan.*
THENinjaRabbi: *is fully prepared for trouble*
THENinjaRabbi: IM: Oh, sweet Mithra.
Lithaladhwen: Giant: I know why you are here.
Lithaladhwen: Female: Kill them.
NebbieQ: *Instinctively stands near the boy.*
PsychoQuadDuck: *Damon remains completely tense*
FFFan80: Enlighten us, then?
NebbieQ: And why is this so important you'd kill over it? What good can it do you?
