Re: DoS: 29 Kythorn - Alagh?n
North turns from the imprisoned beast and lifts his eyebrows at the sight of the large guard coming into the room.
"Ah -" he says at the grounds of detention are admitted.
Turning back to the beast, "not much I can do for you Mr. King... Sorry!" He says as his eyes trail down and to the right as the thought of freeing the beast leaves his mind.
As he turns, he does laugh lightly to himself and puts his hand over his chest...
"Where is that nipple-ring these days anyway?"?
Tabby caught something in the corner of her eye as she followed the Dragonborn and captain. Did someone bring a dog? An ugly, mangey dog? With hooves? That was obviously not a dog, but a horrible monster!
She wisely stayed far away from the nasty creature.
The monk watched her companion attempt to feed the creature. Hopefully, it will eat the jerky, and hot her hand!

Are you familiar with the 6 fingered hand?¡±? Flynn watches the man for any reaction that might be reeled through the gem.? ?

Re: DoS: 29 Kythorn - Alagh?n
Sweet William sees Cerina¡¯s kind gesture and secretly agrees that the cruel treatment of the monster is only a little less evil than the monster, itself. Although, he¡¯d never say so out loud. Killing it would be a kindness and might even save lives, should the cunning creature manage to escape. Still, it wasn¡¯t his house or his captive.

Location: Astorio Manor, Alagh?n?
Time: Late Afternoon
After several hours in town, North returns to the Astorio Manor. He finds Flynn there preparing for their departure, and shortly thereafter Sweet William arrives as well.
The stable is large with a dozen stalls on each side of a surprisingly clean walkway. The left side stalls have camels and domesticated hybrid camelorps (a type of short necked camel milked like a cow), and the right side stalls have more exotic creatures
such as ostrich, horses, an elephant, and something resembling a type of gold and orange striped lion with six legs.
Just outside the stables, four camels have been hooked up to draft sleds. The sleds are piled high with rations, waterkins, and folded yurts, amongst other supplies.
OOC- does anyone need to see or do anything while waiting for Tabby and Cerina to return from shopping?/OOC

Brother Ashley returns to the Manor and joins the group at the stables. Pulling Sweet William and Flynn aside, he explains, ¡°I¡¯ve let it be known that we are off for Morningstar Hollow, to deal with the bandits.¡±??He
glances over his shoulder at the servant with North. ¡°If anyone wishes us troubles, that should keep them off our true destination,¡± he says, giving Flynn a knowing nod. ¡°We¡¯ll start of going Northwest, as if to the Hollow, but once outside the city we will
follow your haunt,¡± he says. ¡°Unless some new information has come?¡±
North dismissed the charmed servant and asks the creature why it is here.
¡°It is here to be broken of its habit of hunting men for sport,¡±?a strong male voice says from the doorway as a tall human male soldier enters
with Tobby and Cerina.
¡°It was caught after six weeks of luring good peoples to tormented, painfully slow deaths,¡±?the man says, stepping right up to the creatures stall
and leaning his head in close to the brute¡¯s maw. Instinctively, the Leucrotta snaps at the man and a shower of sparks snap from the collar as the electrical discharge drops the beast into a painful spasm.
¡°±á²¹,¡±?the man laughs.?¡°We¡¯ll tame you yet,¡±?he
says confidently, then turns to introduce himself.
¡°I am?Bakosh Veliel, Captain of the Guard in Calimsham¡¯s city of Hlath, and hireling on retainer to the Astorios¡¯¡±?he explains.?¡°I
will be leading the caravan into the wastelands for you,¡±?he says. Bakosh stands a good 6 feet 5 inches tall, with broad, muscles shoulders, and a warrior¡¯s appearance. His mail is well polished silver chain, sparkling brightly in the
late day sun. He has a full beard mottled in black and grey, giving him the appearance of about 50 years age. He is wearing a pale, sheer cloak similar to the ones now worn by Tabby and Cerina, with his cowl draped back off his head.
(OOC- Tabby and Cerina can continue posting in the shopping thread if they have more to do. I just wanted to get the group together again so nobody loses interest.)

North frowns at the sight. He sees an odd ball. Something that may never fit it. And he knows it did not choose to be this way.; It either just is, or was made this way possibly against it's will.

Leaning in, North sees more clearly the horrible appearance of what can only be a desert leucrotta. The stench is more off-putting than the characteristics, such as the glowing red eyes, constant
drooling, and jagged bony ridges in place of teeth. Two small goatlike horns protrude as short stumps near the ears, and a pink?-like tongue further
contributes to its hodgepodge physical structure. Its generally ghoulish appearance is furthered by its skeletal shadow in the late day sun. Close inspection gives it less of a Lion appearance and more of a monstrous failed Wizard experiment.

After several hours in town, North returns to the Astorio Manor. He finds Flynn there preparing for their departure, and shortly thereafter Sweet William arrives as well.
The stable is large with a dozen stalls on each side of a surprisingly clean walkway. The left side stalls have camels and domesticated hybrid camelorps (a type of short necked camel milked like a cow), and the right side stalls have more exotic creatures
such as ostrich, horses, an elephant, and something resembling a type of gold and orange striped lion with six legs.
Just outside the stables, four camels have been hooked up to draft sleds. The sleds are piled high with rations, waterkins, and folded yurts, amongst other supplies.

Re: DaleOfShadows: The next morning
OOC: I lived in Florida all of my life. I was here when we got clobbered by, which I believe were 20 hurricanes all at once. There was Bonnie, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Little Joe, Big Joe, G.I. Joe, Clancy, Bob, etc.
This one coming up is just a babby.

One thing popped up in Tabby's little brain. "oh!, please excuse me.",
She will scurry after Flynn, Sweet William, and Ashley.
"Brother Ashley!", she called out to the cleric once she made her way over to him.
"You did say you wanted to talk...". She was generally at 50% when at the breakfast table, but she believed he wanted to say something in private.
As the party starts to leave Flynn covertly makes his way to the serving girl from the garden.
?
¡°Are you well?¡±? he asks, his tone low and covert.

Breakfast ends and Sweet William leaves for errands in town. Brother Ashley pushes his chair away from the table with a slight ¡®bELch¡¯ as compliments to the kitchen, and then excuses himself saying he needs to ¡°finish something at the Temple and then
have a nap before departure this evening¡±. He follows Sweet William out.
Lady ¡®Rana excuses herself as well, explaining that she has council duties to attend to, ¡°but if you need anything at all, Makoosh will be available at your service.¡± The Housekeeper gives a cold stare but nods once in agreement.
OOC- if there are any specific supplies or any other information you need to gather, feel free to post questions and/or desires. Thanks!

Tabby silently ate as she listened to Lady Astorio spoke. Bugs wearing clothes. That's interesting. Bandits. People going crazy in the coconuts. Fire sand. Fire giants. Well, at least things would be interesting.

Lady Astorio smiles and nods.

¡°You referred to dangers at night, Anything specifically?¡±
?
She inhales slowly and deeply, then exhales through pursed lips and sits down again. ¡°So, I¡¯ve never been into the wastelands,¡± she begins excitedly. ¡°But oh the tales I¡¯ve heard. The desert is filled with terrors.
Naturally there are the common dangers like bandits and sand wyrms, and the nighttime jackal packs.¡±
?
¡°Of course,¡± Brother Ashley replies, finally pushing away his plate and leaning back in his chair.
?
¡°But there are also rumors of tribes of Insectmen coming closer!¡± she says, wide eyed. ¡°Six feet tall bugs that wear clothes and hunt with spears. Very cloistered and reclusive. They never come into the city. Very
primitive. Almost barbar-, <ahem> , almost feral¡¡± she trails off embarrassedly.
?
¡°What do you know of Morningstar Hollow?¡± the Priest asks.
?
¡°Yes,¡± Rana says, raising a finger. ¡°I was coming to that,¡± she explains. ¡°There are bandits that prey on the pilgrims. Wait. Let me back up. A strange happening occurred in Morningstar Hollow about ten or fifteen
years ago. The fabric of Mystra¡¯s Weave was plagued. Casters in the region were physically scarred by this event. Their scars were somehow imbued with Wild Magic. Most went mad and either killed themselves or were mercifully killed by others. But word spread
and now Ne'er-do-wells and other miserably downtrodden make a pilgrimage to Morningstar Hollow hoping to somehow acquire one of these magical scars. As I mentioned, bandits prey on these pilgrims. Every now and again the mercenary groups will send a patrol
to Morningstar Hollow to?discourage?the bandits -and- the pilgrims. Lunatics and madmen sometimes become fanatical about this magic. Even so, they don¡¯t deserve to get robbed and murdered by bandits. Anyways, the
last patrol of Eagles, that¡¯s a mercenary company in the Alaoreum District, the last patrol only had one survivor!¡±
?
¡°I tended to him last evening,¡± Brother Ashley explains. ¡°His mine is lost. He keeps babbling on about a storm giant of fiery sand. His limbs are badly burned, but they should heal in time. His mind, however, I¡¯m uncertain
about.¡±
?
Lady Rana¡¯s face pales. ¡°I¡¯ve not heard of the giant. Is the city in any danger?¡± she asks.
?
¡°I couldn¡¯t say,¡± Ashley replies. ¡°We don¡¯t even know if there IS a giant. The wild magic may have corrupted the poor fellow¡¯s brain.¡±
?
¡°The giant Sand Crawlers are bad enough,¡± Rana says. ¡°Actual fire Giants would be devastating.¡±
?
¡°Giant . . . sand . . . crawlers . . .?¡± Ashley asks nervously.
?
¡°Scorpions,¡± Rana explains. ¡°Horrible monstrosities,¡± she shivers. ¡°Over ten feet tall. Three venomous tails. Arms with dagger-like claws for pincers. They generally keep to the deep desert far from the cities, and
are supposedly nocturnal,¡± she explains. ¡°They feed on camelorps, a type of long tailed desert unicorn. Every few seasons though a caravan will get decimated by one, and then the Eagles go out to eliminate it.¡±

And what do you do?
