<DeathStar> Date: 3.28.2389
<DeathStar> Location: Campsite
<DeathStar> 6* The morning sun creeps up on the group; Jean remains asleep next to Zeal, while RAchael cooks the second rabbit monster. They can't leave yet, sadly, since their Valenent leader is writing a letter!
<DeathStar> 6* Finishing the rabbit stew, Rachael puts them in small bowls for everyone. The deeretard remains hiding off to the edge.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snorts awake at the smell of food. 1"Hwua?
* Kaelan snuggles into Zeal's other side in her sleep, mumbling gently about something to do with hammers.
<Zeal> <Zeal> Ironic, is it not. The only one self-conscious of their personal space is the one becoming a lounging pillow.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> They must really like you, Lady Zeal
* Zeal makes a slight face, peering at Rachael. 1"I.. cannot tell if you are jesting with me."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen finishes writing his epic LETTER and rises moving from his spot to take some of the stew and eat.
* Kaelan mumbles a bit more and starts to rouse, yawning a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, confused
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs his face and he sits up then stands up, shifting his bloodied shirt over his chest. 1"You made this?" 6"He looks at Rachael
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods. "Yes. It's not much different from the rabbit I made last night."
<Zeal> I... I caught them." 6She sniffs indignantly.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You should probably wake this, Miss Zeal.
<Xanatos> NRP: The,
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gives Zeal a thumbs up and he grabs a bowl for himself, sniffing it. He starts eating it quickly.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes, she caught all three of them
* Kaelan nuzzles into Zeal and mumbles, "Five more minutes dah..."
* Zeal eyes Kaelan-- and pushes her over.
* Zeal gentle shakes Jean on the other hand.
* Kaelan squeaks a bit as she rolls over, she sits up a bit bewildered. "What...? Templars?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean opens her eyes a bit, looking cofused and sits up; her hair has more blonde streaks in it now and she stretches, giving Zeal and everyone a smile. "Good morning."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen holds out bowls of the stew to Zeal and Jean.
* Kaelan sits up and rubs her head a little. "Morning."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok coughs as he sets his empty bowl down. 1"Do you always cook this good?" 6He gives Jean a smile
* Kaelan sniffs a bit. "What's for breakfast? Smells good." *she moves a bit closer*
* Zeal nods to Valen, holding the second to Jean.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's not very good. 6* She notes modestly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods back and sits back. 1I enjoy it.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes the stew, then begins to peer at it, tilting it back to drink from the bowl.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I never learned how to cook. And this is new to me.
* Zeal eats prudently, watching Jean
* Kaelan gets herself a bowl and starts to eat. "Better then me or Dad could make. It's good Rachael."
<Zeal> She could improve, certainly, but I am in no position to complain when effort is put forth.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers towards Zeal and then back to his food.
<Kaelan> "Kiddin? I mean, it's not my mom's cooking... but it's good."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You're all to kind. 6* Jean finishes and happily wipes her mouth
<Kaelan> "Nonsense, compliments to the chef."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You like it Jean? 6He peers at her.
* Kaelan puts down her empty bowl.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Once everyone gets ready, we can prepare to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, then peers about. "Where's Solomon?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> He's afraid of the fire. 6He moves to put it out.
* Kaelan nods and ties her hair back with her black ribbon, sniffing a bit. "Blah... I need a bath somethin fierce."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Kaelen, then raises his arm to take a wiff
<Kaelan> "Luckily I had a dip in that pond or I might be foul."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You didn't bathe? 6* She blinks, having done so at every source of water so far
* Zeal sighs at mention of baths, finishing another batch of 'dye' in her waterskin with the rest of her ink, gesturing to Jean
<Zeal> It would be nice to have one proper, however. Warm water, ahn..." 6She daydreams.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at the dye, and sulks back, making faces. She shifts to hide in the water.
* Kaelan looks at her akwardly. "I-- not since the village... we've been so busy."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I should spruce up quick. 6He shifts to stand up and moves to the water and leaps in.
* Kaelan nods, "Me too." *she slides out of her garments save the underthings and hops into the water*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to everyone then moves to get Solomon.
* Zeal stares at them. 1"I do hope they do not fall ill."
<Zeal> I bathed late afternoon yesterday after hunting while the water was still at its warmest and it was rather... unnerving still.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok surfaces and moves to walk to the embers of the fire, shaking some of the water off him. 1"Now that's how you wake up
<DeathStar> 6* Jean rises after a moment, then sneezes and makes faces. "Wasn't like this earlier!"
* Kaelan steps out, wringing out her hair and shivering, she moves over to the fire to dry too. "It's certainly refreshing."
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl, come here this instant!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen feeds solomon some of the stew if he'll eat it.
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon sniffs it, then eats it
<DeathStar> 6* JEan jerks, then moves over, dripping wate
* Zeal sits next to her by the fire, working water off of her and her hair, sighing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls his shirt off and he starts to wring it out.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You sleep good, Zeal?
* Kaelan gathers her clothes and cloak up and yawns a bit.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pats his neck, petting him. 1I'm glad we met you, Solomon.
* Zeal pauses, eyeing Dahok. 1"...Well enough for the outdoors, I suppose."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sneezes again and shivers next to the fire
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael finishes eating and cleans their bowls, putting them away.
<DeathStar> 6* As they talk, a cool breeze blows through, adding a new layer of chill to those who went into the water.
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon sniffs Valen's flesh
* Kaelan shivers a bit more and moves in a little closer to the fire. "Maybe that wasn't such a good idea."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shivers a bit. 1"I keep forgetting the ocean water's warmer.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I do smell a bit, don't I?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You should do as I do; take some water and warm it on the fire, then wash in it.
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon sniffs once more, then the stew bowl, then trots over to the others, waiting
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck as he looks at Rachael. 1"I'll remember that next time, thanks."
<Zeal> 6Zeal works on darkening Jean's hair again once its dry enough, then moves to wash her hands clean. 1"That is the last of it."
* Kaelan starts to get some of the clothing on, pulling on her trousers and tunic, wringing out her hair again.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pouts as it's applied, looking sad.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael walks over to Solomon and adds pouches to him, then puts the bowls in the pouches.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his shirt back over and rubs his arms.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves back to help Rachael, peering towards the others.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I also have some items that make you smell fresher. I collected them from home, but I don't mind sharing them with the ladies if they wish. 6* Now that she mentions it, sometimes when the wind blows, some might notice she does smell like flowers.
* Kaelan pulls on her leathers, tying the wet hair back as she shoulders on the cloak. "That's awfully nice of you Rachael."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to her.
<Zeal> Are you speaking of perfume?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It is from some flowers I gathered; I was taught how to use their essence on the body.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok picks up the rest of his stuff and he looks at Rachael. 1"How do you do that?"
<Kaelan> "Sounds like alchemy to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stares, having never heard of such a word. Since none exists.
<Zeal> Nonsense, it is an age old skill of the conscienscious women, especially nobles.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sniffs himself slightly, then Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok sniffs himself again and he shrugs. 1"Well we ready to go then?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> You do smell better. 6He nods
<Kaelan> "Conscienc... what?" *she looks a little apprehensive* "I guess I really should have listened to Mom more."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael reaches into a pouch and pulls out a vial of petals. She moves over to add water to it, shakes it, then moves over to Dahok, dripping some on him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok blinks and he looks at Rachael, then sniffs the air, then himself. 1"That's neat."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You can wear it, too, if you want. 6* She smiles.
* Kaelan watches with guarded interest.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Wear it? ^he looks confused
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, putting it on you
<Xanatos> <Valen> It masks your scent with something more pleasant.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael applies some onto Zeal and Kaelan to demonstrate.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Does it make m....6He looks at Valen then sniffs himself again.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pats himself, looking for something then hmms. 1I lost my vial of pine.
<Zeal> Ah, a lovely scent, Rachael. Are these... native to your lands?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. I haven't had time to see what flowers in Navarro would work. I guess you would know more than I do about plants.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I wonder if girls will find me more attractive now. 6He muses a bit
<Zeal> <Zeal> Since you smell of a woman, perhaps they might just assume you carry yourself as one?
* Kaelan moves over and sniffs Dahok a little. "...An improvement."
* Zeal smiles playfully at Valen. 1"Do you find Dahok more attractive now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sniffs on Dahok now, then tkes the vial, putting some on herself, then tries to drink it. Rachael jerks, trying to stop her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Or that I spend a lot of time around woman.
* Kaelan looks about slowly. "We do outnumber you about two to one, don't we?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> He is more appealing. 6he nods.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Thanks. 6He winks at Valen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods then glances to everyone. 1Are we all ready?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes Jean spits the stuff out, sighing, then nods to Valen
* Zeal nods, rising and shouldering her bow. She pats Jean on the head.
<Kaelan> "I'm ready... I'd like to not ride in the front... if that's alright with everyone."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'll ride wherever
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to climb onto the front. "Whoever gets behind me, get close and grip my chest tightly for support. With Jean awake, we'll barely have room now."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eyes widen a bit at that
* Zeal gets up to oblige Rachael, perhaps too embarassed to let anyone else notice.
* Kaelan climbs up after her and hugs onto her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a sigh of defeat and he climbs up, then holds a hand down to Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael watches Zeal and KAelan practically collide to get next to her
* Kaelan lets Zeal get on first.
* Kaelan hugs onto Zeal instead.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tilts his head slightly and then gets on last after Dahok helps Jean up.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes the hand and smiles, moving up behind him.
<Zeal> I... would prefer Jean be against me, Kael.
<DeathStar> 6* Valen would find himself almost falling off, so Jean would be his support.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts Jeans arms around his waist. 1"Hold on tight, Jean."
<Kaelan> "It's be kinda akward to move now... she's safely between the men."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen makes a face, holding onto Jean. 1I'll likely slip before too long.
<Zeal> ...Even moreso then!
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hold boobies tightly!
* Kaelan deadpans.
* Zeal huffs indignantly. 1"Lady Al'ryl! Come here!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I wouldn't ask it any other way.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, peering at Zeal, confused now. She shifts to try to climb over Dahok, practically nkocking him and Valen off.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances back. 1"If you're abou-" 6He gacks as he shifts to try and stay on.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael watches, then puts a hand to her face, either to hide a reaction of amusement or dismay.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen makes a face. 1Zeal. 6He hisses.
<Zeal> Sir Lankin, no complaints! I have decided and that is that.
* Kaelan moves off the deer to let Jean take her place, then looks for where to get back up.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I will complain if I want too. 6he spits, pulling himself back up.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean then shifts up to Kaelan, peering at her between her and Zeal. She pauses, then shifts up behind Zeal once Kaelan moves.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grumbles a bit and he looks at Valen. 1"Who made her the boss?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Lady Zeal, does Kaelan embarrass you that much? 6* She whispers.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean then grabs Zeal's melons for support
<Zeal> I am no such thing, fisherman. I merely decided that I will be responsible for her." 6She notes to Jean, then jerks at Jean.
* Kaelan looks at the men. "Where should I sit?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> We're all responsible, Zeal. 6He slips off to let Kaelan get on.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Just seems a bit rude to make her move and nearly knock everyone off.
* Kaelan climbs up and wraps her arms around Dahok, then reaches down to help Valen back up.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets up and nods, then grabs her enormouse waist for support, hayuck.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his arms to grab onto Jean's waist to hold on
<Zeal> You misunderstand. I am no longer a templar, therefore I will surely protect her. I will consider myself..." 6She pauses, at a loss of words for once, then sniffs indignantly, then serious says, "1Angel knight!"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Pretty Knight!
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...that's a little ridiculous.
* Zeal reels slightly, blinking at the two.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his head awkwardly at that and then leans to look at Rachael. 1"I think we're all on finally
<Kaelan> "I wonder if Angel Knight will catch on."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, urging Solomon who, who takes off at high speeds.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tenses to catch on, his hand slipping to grab a boob, he pauses and apologizes, sliding his hand down once he gets stable.
* Kaelan gets a little red but pretends it didn't happen, holding on to Dahok.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If you are the Angel Knight, Lady Zeal, what are we?
<Zeal> Well, then. I surely did not ask your permission, did I?" 6She upturns her nose, then makes a slight sound as they start to move, panic in her voice as she buckles down on Rachael. 1"I-- I w-will be the angel's kn-kniIIiight..!"
<Kaelan> "Angel Knights? Why must there be only one?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I would prefer if we kept this Angel nonsense to ourselves. 6He calls out
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around at the landscape as they speed along, more interested in that.
<DeathStar> 6* The cool wind slaps at their faces, gradually warming to a nice breeze as the sun rises higher. After a few hours of travel, Solomon stops to rest outside a creepy looking forest.
* Zeal whines as they speed about.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the creepy looking forest
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slips off and lets out a slight grunt of pain, stretching.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers about, still groping Zeal. She eyes the forest with a shiver. The trees look dark adn black.
<Zeal> A-Are we there y-yet?
<DeathStar> <RAchael> I think Solomon is tired.
* Kaelan slips off and looks around, she peers at the forest. "I don't like the look of this place at all."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You should all get off of him and let him get some rest.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to get off when he can and he stretches
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael slips off finally, peering at the forest; it's not large, but it stretches a good distance on either side. They could probably go around it, as much as through it
<Zeal> Lady A-Al'ryl, let go." 6She notes, though not having let go of Rachael she makes a noise, nearly tossed off as she hops down.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean flails as Zeal is tossed off nearly, and falls herself
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves towards the trees with curiousity, peering them over.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That forest looks kinda cool...6he jerks to grab Jean as she falls
<Kaelan> "Cool? It does look cold."
* Zeal stumbles on her feet, gazing around and catches Jean along with Dahok. 1"...I-It is an unsettling place, I agree.
<DeathStar> 6* The forest seems to lack any sounds of life
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then smiles at Zeal and Dahok. "Pretty Knights!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes the forest now, then talks in an eerie tone. "Dangerous place. Should avoid."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm no knigth but I am very good looking. 6He smiles at her and sets her down
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Dangerous? 6He peers at it.
* Zeal reddens slightly, then coughs slightly, regaining composure.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen reaches out to tough a tree, curious to see how it feels.
<Kaelan> "Valen... I think we should heed her words."
<DeathStar> 6* The bark is tough, and hurts his fingers if not careful
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gets some food to feed Solomon, letting the deeretard rest
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What makes you think it's dangerous? 6He looks at Jean
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks is surprise and brings his hand back. 1Yes, I agree. This wood is pretty odd. 6He turns to move back towards the others.
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She seems distracted watching a puffy cloud, the eerie look gone already
<Zeal> <Zeal> I hear no creatures, that is a first hint.
<Kaelan> "Jean seems to occaisonally have moments of clarity."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't think we'd get Solomon to go in easily if it is dangerous
<Kaelan> "I think it wise to pay heed to them."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Probably best to go around then. If we can.
<DeathStar> 6* The wind blows through the trees, and an odd tune plays amongst them, almost invitingly. As if something was in there singing
<Xanatos> <Valen> We should be able too. I don't think it goes very far in that direction. 6He points.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You hear that? 6He peers at the forest
<DeathStar> 6* As he peers, he'd see a sparkling object some ways in; what it is, it's hard to tell. Solomon snorts, ready to go
* Kaelan frowns and peers towards the trees. "Yes, now I'm even more suspicious."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck and he shifts a bit closer to the the forest now to try and see it
* Kaelan reaches out to grab his shoulder. "Dahok..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6He rubs his neck slightly and peers off to the side. 1We...should...probably go.
<Kaelan> "Now, please."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Kaelan, then back at the forest.
* Kaelan gently tries to tug him back. "Dahok, please."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to climb Solomo, peering at Dahok. The sparkling object seems to perhaps be made of gold.
<Zeal> Be.. careful. For all we know, elves could be playing tricks on us.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Elves? 6He glances at Zeal
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Lets go. 6* She states now, an edge to her tone. "I don't like this."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at them all quietly.
<Zeal> I read this is where they mainly reside, correct? Who knows?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen clears his throat. 1I agrre. Let's go. Now.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That forest is to the south, and much larger. And there would be signs posted about it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Alright. 6He nods and he glances at the object again then moves for Solomon
<Zeal> 6Zeal peers up at Rachael, making a pout, but moves to remount, holding out a hand to Jean
* Kaelan moves over for Solomon as well.
<Zeal> There are always ...abberants.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean repeats the word. "Abb...er..ants?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes her hand and lifts herself up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok climbs up behind Jean then holds out a hand to Kaelan
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets on last as per usual.
* Kaelan takes Dahok's hand and climbs up, helping Valen after.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gives her a smile and he shifts his arms around to hold onto Jean
* Kaelan smiles back and hugs onto him.
<Xanatos> <Valen> We're on Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael urges Solomon on and around the forest. Jean gropes Zeal again for support
* Zeal cowers pathetically.
<DeathStar> 6* The deeretard circles the forest, and they'd find themselves exiting the grasslands for just a normal grass/dirty area that stretches on. It seems this terrain is your typical terrain that's neither grasslands, nor desert.
<DeathStar> 6* Trees crop up now and again, as well as flowers, and some rocks and other objects
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This area's kind of bleak.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It can't all be grasslands or forests.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Why not?
<Kaelan> "Looks... alright to me... not as green as Navarro."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We are still in Navarro, Miss Kaelan
<Kaelan> "What... really?"
* Kaelan looks around. "I thought it was all green..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Navarro is the continent.
* Kaelan looks down. "O-Oh..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Navarro has grasslands, these plains, and um... mountains and deserts.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I guess I was just hoping for something more colorful.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's sort of how some water is salty and some isn't. 6He tells Dahok.
<DeathStar> 6* She tries to think if she left anything out
<Kaelan> "I never had a lot of time to study information about the lands... and I'm not exactly native..." *she sounds a little humble*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods to Valen.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's good to understand the region you visit, incase you have to travel it.
<DeathStar> 6* They travel for many more long hours and night falls. Rachael stops the deeretard, looking worn out. "I wonder how much further the city is..." 6* She looks back at Valen to see if they should stop and rest, then continue, or stop for the night
<Kaelan> "I should take some time to study maps then."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hmm. I wonder if there's any better spots to rest for the night.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I'd imagine it'd be dangerous to get attacked by a monster while on Solomon.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds Zeal wearily, looking like she's half-asleep
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers around, looking for someplace that might be better. 1We should get off of him and let him rest either way. 6He gets down on his feet.
* Zeal looks a bit dazed herself, being edgy wearing her out
* Kaelan yawns a bit and nods, sliding off Solomon.
<DeathStar> 6* Off to the side is a small hill that could provide some cover for their backs
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts off then holds his hands out to Jean and Zeal to help them down
<DeathStar> 6* Jean lets go and moves to try to get off Solomon, then jerks when suddenly Solomon is lifted up. A giant bear monster holds him
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael's eyes widen and she falls off Solomon, landing roughly on the ground; Jean falls herself, on top of Dahok
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eyes go wide at that and he pulls out his wooden sword.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok acks as he's landedon by Jean before he can pull his wood out
<Xanatos> 6* Valen widens his eyes and pulls out his sword, lunging forward to stab at the bear.
<Zeal> 6Zeal stumbles to land, her eyes widening, trying to whip her bow up and aim for the face, feeling an attachment to the deer at this point
* Kaelan gasps and looks to Jean and Dahok, then pulls her sword out, she follows behind Valen and strikes out at the bear's flank.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar roars in pain, bleeding and it uses Solomon like a weapon - throwing it at Kaelan as it comes in
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You alright Jean? 6He peers up at her
<Xanatos> 6* Valen grasps the sword in both hand and does an overhead slice for the bear's arm.
* Kaelan scrambles and leaps to one side, tumbling, she grumbles in pain as she pulls herself up.
* Zeal steadies herself and pulls her string back further to use the composite, releasing the arrow for the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael tries to get to her feet; the bearoar roars in pain as it's arm is cut off, and it turns, slapping Valen around with it's claws.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen goes flying back, rolling along the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Then jerks as it gets hit in the head by the arrow, a sickening thunk sound as it enters it's ear. The bearoar stumbles. Rachael jerks in panic and moves to check on valen, sliding to see if the claws got him
* Kaelan moves a little to the side and moves in, slicing downwards at it's back while it attacks Valen.
* Kaelan starts movign back as the bear stumbles about.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the bear stumbling about nd he shifts to get up. He grabs Jean and pulls her away from it's reach
* Zeal makes a face, straining to pull another arrow back, using the extra tension is quite taxing, and launch another arrow, not taking a chance with an animal this large
<DeathStar> 6* Jean gets up, staring at the bear bleeding, looking sorry for it. As Kaelan slashes it;s back, the bearoar cries out and turns toward her. Jean jerks as she's pulled
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar then is hit again in the head and falls over toward Kaelan, about to crush her unless she hops back 2 feet in 3 seconds
* Kaelan backs away slowly, sword out and ready, keeping her guard up.
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers down at himself, letting out a groan of pain, he slowly tries to push himself back to his feet.
<DeathStar> 1
* Kaelan hiops
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... do we eat it now? 6* She asks softly, moving over to the bear as it groans in pain adn touches it. It seems to stop groaning in pain, though it's alive still
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes her get close and he shifts to pull her back. 1"Woh, getting close to a monster like this isn't smart
<DeathStar> <Jean> But--it's in pain...
<Zeal> ..." 6She eyes Jean, then closes her eyes, taking a breath. 1"...Can you... pacify it like Solomon, lady Al'ryl?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So is Valen. You should help him.
* Kaelan backs away, remembering her encounter with the tiger.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen waves a hand, it's true his cut isn't that bad. 6He moves to check on Solomon.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at it sadly, then at Valen. The bearoar moans in pain again as Jean is pulled back, struggling to rise
<DeathStar> <Jean> It is dying.
* Zeal looks to Jean for an answer.
<Kaelan> "I could... put it out of it's misery..." *she looks worriedly at Jean*
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... I don't know. 6* She looks ashamed at not knowing. She closes it's eyes as the bearoar roars in pain
<DeathStar> <Jean> I could try.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon is laying n it's side, looking injured
* Kaelan takes in a breath.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm the one that domesticated Solomon. 6He points out, peering the poor deertard over.
<Zeal> Very well." 6She nods to Jean, but notches another arrow, aiming between the eyes.
<Kaelan> "Solomon needs your help, Jean."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think we'd be smarter to save Solomon and not worry about this beast.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers between the two, biting her lip. Rachael moves over to kneel by Solomon as well, touching it.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar tries to drag itself off, clearly in no mood to eat them now
<Xanatos> <Valen> Dahok's right, he's hurting. Someone should put the other beast out of it's misery.
* Kaelan slowly and carefully moves after the bear.
* Zeal lowers her arrow. 1"Jean, I will see to Solomon." 6She reaches for her satchel.
<Xanatos> <Valen> We could use the skins from that beast for warmth. 6He notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods once, then moves to the bear. It roars at her dangerously, but she kneels and touches it anyway.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And if we're going to go into the cold...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think he hurt his leg and side, Lady Zeal.
* Kaelan stays by Jean, standing guard.
* Zeal kneels to study Solom, nodding to Rachael, just frowning at Dahok and Valen's comments, gathering up some of the herbs for open wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean closes her eyes, straining to try to heal the beast, but having lost an arm, a gaping wound in it's back, and the head wounds, she seems to be doing little progress. Jean begins to look weak after a moment, and the bearoar just looks exhausted, though no longer whimpering in pain, due to the nerves not sending pain to it's brain
<DeathStar> 6* Something begins to approach Jean, Kaelan, and the bear, a shadowy figure in the darkness, as clouds are blocking the Glittering tonight
* Kaelan lays a hand on Jaen's shoulder. "It's already far gone..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes Jean and Kaelan, and the bear a bit
* Kaelan glances up, eyeing the figure carefully. She stands and puts a hand to her sword. "Who goes there."
<DeathStar> 6* Some blood drops form Jean's nose, but she stubbornly refuses to stop. The shadowy figure seems small and to be moving on all fours, approaching quickly. It makes a noise like a roar as it gets closer, 10 feet from Kaelan now
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eyes go wide at the roar and he jerks to try and see it. 1"JEAN, KAELAN WATCH OUT!"
* Zeal finishes bandaging Solomon after treating it, packing up what remains. 1"...That is the best I can do for now with what we have."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances up quickly and gets to his feet, lifting up his sword to move closer, pulling his shield out this time.
* Kaelan quickly wraps the peacelock on her blade's sheath, pulling it off her belt, making it a blunt weapon, she moves in front fo Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, petting Solomon's ugly head.
<Kaelan> "Is it... the monster's child?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to grab Jean and pull her away.
<DeathStar> 6* The shadowy figure gets closer; Jean pauses, peering up weakly toward the figure approaching. She grabs Kaelan's arm as a baby bearoar comes up and nuzzles the big bear, cry roaring at it. The bigger one roars back.
* Kaelan nods slowly. "I see it Jean... I can't hurt it... I won't."
<DeathStar> 6* Once Jean's pulled away, the bigger one roars in pain again, and the little one roars back, looking upset. Jean stares at the sight, looking heartbroken, peering down; she ignores her own nose bleeding
<Zeal> Pitiful thing." 6She murmurs.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and slows to a stop, frowning slightly.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We must have gotten close to their home.... 6* She notes softly, looking like she feels bad for the baby bearoar.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck.
* Kaelan slowly puts the sword sheath back on it's belt frog and baldric. She frowns a little. "Jean... will it be okay?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> I-I can't fix it. I-I tried...
<Xanatos> <Valen> We were likely to be the child's meal.
<DeathStar> <Jean> I can try...more... 6* She reaches for the bigger bear.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen reaches out to stop Jean, eyeing her nose. 1Anymore will injure yourself.
<Zeal> It will be to no avail, lady Al'ryl." 6She calls.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We should put the mother out of it's misery.
* Kaelan frowns more. "I... it's a mother..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sounds mournful, but remains by Solomon to protect him, lest another show up to eat it.
* Kaelan takes a breath slowly. "Jean... you should go look at Solomon."
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6He lets out a breath, then moves to finish off the bear.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Valen, then looks down, looking sad. She looks at the baby bear, then moves over. "Jean will be your mother if you want." 6* She offers meekly. The baby bear just nuzzles it's mother, not able to speak their language. She moves over to take it and lead it away. <Jean> Come. You don't want to see... I know." 6* Surprisingly she doesn't get bit
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches with a bit of confusion
* Zeal rubs her neck, then moves to be with Jean
* Kaelan watches Jean and the bear, then back at Valen.
<DeathStar> 6* The baby bear looks ready to bite Jean, but she sits down adn sings softly; the baby bear quiets down
<Kaelan> "I... can't do it."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers the bearoar over and decides on an appropriate location for a heart and shifts to plunge his sword in.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to get food out of the pouches on Solomon, giving the deeretard some food to eat.
<DeathStar> 6* The bearoar's heart is struck, blood gushing up as it roars once, then goes still. 100 gold falls down onto the ground
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok cringes a bit but watches
* Kaelan flinches and looks away.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen giggles and grabs the gold, just kidding, he tilts his head at the gold spewing beasts and cleans his blade off before kneeling to pick up the gold and slide it into a pouch.
* Kaelan breathes slowly and looks back. "...You were right... we should skin it."
* X1 has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Gather some meat from it too while we can.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs on the baby bearoar as she sings, rocking it, then mumbles a prayer to it.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I know I was right. I've lived in the wilds for a long time, I know what should and shouldn't be done. It's just unforunate that Jean had to witness this. 6He moves to begins skinning it now.
<Zeal> Amazing." 6She murmurs, sitting by the two as Jean sings to a bear thing.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We all have to do unpleasant things to survive. Monsters, man. Dahok, could you gather some sticks for a fire?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I can do that. 6He nods and begins to do just that
<Kaelan> "I didn't say it for that reason..."
* Kaelan looks away and crosses her arms.
* Zeal rises, patting Jean's head again. 1"I will... go gathering again. Please stay safe, lady Al'ryl."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stops singing to peer at the baby bear, which sits there and looks hungry. It eyes Jean
<Kaelan> "Do you need help, Valen?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I would rather be alone, maybe you can help Dahok.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods to Zeal, watching the baby bear. "If you wait, your mother will be cooked soon." 6* she says with complete innocence, not getting it
* Kaelan heads over to help Dahok, walking a little stiffly.
* Zeal makes a slight face, but just moves off to see what she can forage.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You alright, Kaelan?
* Kaelan shakes her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pats Solomon, asking Jean to watch him, and moves to be with Valen, kneeling and talking to him where the others can't hear, probably to reassure him. She kisses his cheek and gives him a hug
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> What's the matter? 6He shifts to pick up some more wood
<Kaelan> "I've been orphaned a day and I've had a hand in making another creature the same. I've slowly watched everything I knew for right and wrong die."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles to her, a bothered look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What is wrong? 6* She asks him, patting his shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* As Dahok goes for a twig, a scorpion monster shifts up quickly to try to stab his arm
<Xanatos> <Valen> I always feel this way after slaying a beast. I would rather kill man than beast. At least some of them seem to deserve it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't know what to tell you Kaelan.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I know. You just have to keep in mind that if we had not, it would have eaten us. It is how I am able to hunt.
* Kaelan blinks and grabs him, pulling him back.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok is pulled, dropping the twigs he's gathered
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan manages to save Dahok
<DeathStar> 6* The monster moves closer toward them, getting ready again
<Xanatos> <Valen> I try. It's hard sometimes, especially after something like what just happened.
* Kaelan draws her sword with her other hand, standing defensively.
* Zeal takes her time as she's searching to give herself moments alone to think again, crossing her arms.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls out his trust wood sword. 1"Thanks Kaelan."
* Kaelan nods, keeping her eye on the creature and it's tail.
<DeathStar> 6* The scorpion advances on Dahok, as if mocking his wood sword
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts a bit to circle to it's side.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, and hugs him. "If you want, you can sleep beside me tonight." 6* She offers. "I can try to sing that song you like."
* Kaelan shifts to the side of the creature and attempts to cut at the tail. Moving the opposite way of Dahok.
<DeathStar> 6* The scorpion has lots of eggs. Would you seriously cut this poor defenseless monsters?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles. 1I would like that.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok keeps focused on the stinger
<DeathStar> 6* The scoropion shifts to face DAhok slowly, leaving itself and it's children open to Kaelan if she does strike
* Kaelan jerks a bit and hops back, grumbling.
<Kaelan> "D-Damnit... is everything out here breeding?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Kaelan, I can't stay like this forever.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I wonder what is taking the others so long. 6* She sits by Valen, peering out
<Xanatos> 6* Valen and Rachael start having sex when she says that, just kidding.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Rachael and shakes his head. 1I'm not sure.
* Kaelan grits her teeth and swings, slicing at it's tail, not looking happy.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It is nice to be in a group, but we need tents so we can have private time. 6* She notes.
<DeathStar> 6* The scorpion jerks from losing it's tail, spewing acidic like blood
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts a bit and swings his wooden sword for it's head.
<DeathStar> 6* The head cracks open and it falls over dead, dropping 10 gold
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to her slightly before giving a nod. 1It's hard to be myself aroudn them.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> When we reach the city, we'll need to look into tents. 6* She nods back.
* Kaelan hops back and grumbles more.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok picks the gold up, putting it in his pouch. He beams proudly that his wooden sword defeated it. 1"we should get back to the others.
<Kaelan> "Y-Yeah... we should. I'm sorry I hesitated with you in danger."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and gets out 20 gold and holds it out to her. 1Here. Incase we are seperated.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes it from him, nodding and smiling, placing it in her pouch
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's alright, I had it handled. 6He smiles a bit and picks up the twigs he's gathered
* Kaelan pulls out another cloth and wipes her blade clean, tossing the cloth aside before sheathing it. She moves to pick up some twigs and sticks too. "Alright... I'll... be better eventually. I suppose."
* Zeal returns after having sufficient time to gather her thoughts and whatever she may have found, peering at Jean. 1"How is it?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok heads back to the others
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal would find Jean on the ground, the baby bearoar on top of her, Jean's arm in it's mouth as it tugs
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok and Kaelan as well would come up to see the sight
* Zeal pauses, reaching for her sword. 1"L-Lady Al'ryl!?"
<Kaelan> "J-Jean!" *she runs over worriedly*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances up, smiling. The baby bearoar pauses, whining and hiding behind Jean like she were it's mothers
<Zeal> ...Oh, playing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eyes go wide and he tenses up a bit
* Zeal holds a hand to her heart, sighing.
* Kaelan sighs a bit and smiles, she moves over to stack her pile of sticks down.
<DeathStar> <Jean> He needs training! 6* She nods, as if the creature actually told her that
<Kaelan> "I cna see it now, the Angel and her pet bear, when it grows up..."
<DeathStar> 6* RAchael hears the others and gets up to move over to join them. She gets the fire going; Solomon snorts, but is too weak to get up, so he lays there by it
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We cannot keep it, Miss. Kaelan.
* Kaelan looks back at her. "I know that, but you try telling that to Jean."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Rachael, jerking and looking upset. She holds the baby bear protectively.
<Kaelan> "And please, just Kaelan, I'm no 'Miss' by any means."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok plops down by the fire, taking a moment to catch his breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael frowns, peering at Zeal. "She listens to you."
<Zeal> Will it be too bad..? It is only a small thing right now, surely it would not cause too much commotion.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I don't know much about people here at Navarro, but back home, the sight of someone with a monster bear.... would stand out.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lays out the skins to dry and moves towards the other after cleaning himself off slightly, he takes this moment to give Zeal and Kaelan 20 gold each.
* Kaelan blinks a bit and bows her head, slipping the gold away. "Thank you Valen..."
<Zeal> ...From the mother..?" 6She eyes the gold.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We fought one of those poisonous monsters. 6he notes to Valen
<Xanatos> <Valen> Unfortunately. But we may as well put it to use.
* Zeal nods to Valen, holding out half of her's to Jean.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Dahok. 1So that's what took so long? You're not hurt?
<Kaelan> "We're fine..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at it blankly, not understanding. "Pretty. Pretty Knight should keep pretty coins."
* Kaelan looks at the fire.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean has baby.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> No, we're good. My wood sword killed it with Kaelan's help
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pats the baby bear, letting it 'bite' her arm again. Rachael gets the last rabbit cooking
<Xanatos> <Valen> I wanted that sword for a reason. 6He nods. 1If you put work into it, it could be become better than a metal sword.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Really? 6He eyes it then Valen.
* Zeal rubs her face slightly and puts the coins away.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's possible. I'm sure a blacksmith would be able to give you a better idea.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Baby bear also gave Jean this. 6* Jean pulls out a bo that looks like Dahok's missing one.
<Kaelan> "I..." *she looks at Valen*
<Kaelan> "I could take a look at it."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok lokos at Kaelen then hands him the wooden word
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would see only a wood sword that looks unremarkable.
<DeathStar> 6* Perhaps her skills aren't good enough.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean waves the bo about, but accidently hits herself. She makes a face, and sets it down, no longer liking it.
* Kaelan frowns a little, and looks it over. "It just seems like your normal sword to me, either it's potential is hidden or I'm not skilled enough yet."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to the bo, then to Dahok. 1You used a weapon like that, didn't you?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Huh. 6He takes it back then looks at Valen, eyeing the bo. 1"Hey that looks kind like mine used to. S
* Zeal consoles Jean, looking slightly amused.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael whispers to Valen to get the mother bear's meat to the fire later when Jean and the baby bear aren't looking.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mr. Dahok can have it! He is a nice pig!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to Rachael, whispering that is what he had hoped to do.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gapes at Jean.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks and he looks at Jean. 1"I've never been called that before."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Interesting choice of words, Miss Jean.
<Zeal> Pig? How bold.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mr. Dahok said women called him pig. And... 6* She goes over every name he said
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hey, she remembers them all.
* Kaelan slowly widens her eyes, she looks at Dahok questioningly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a chuckle, looking amused. 1I'm sure there has been more than that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Can I see the bo? 6He holds his hand out. 1"Oh there are."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean wanted to remember so she could call Mr. Dahok every name and make him feel happy.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean picks it up and holds it out to him
* Kaelan rubs the side of her face and smiles a little, she looks back at the fire.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to get up and takes it, peering it over
<DeathStar> 6* The baby bear sniffs the food, but doesn't dare near the fire. Once Rachael hands out the meat, Jean gives her share to the bear
* Kaelan moves over and gives a little of her meat to the bear as well.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sits down and takes some of the meat to begin eating, looking pretty hungry.
* Zeal pauses, moving back close to Jean and shares some of her own with her since she gave her's to the bear.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's even...6He shifts to seperate it into two pieces. 1"Oh this is nice. Thanks Jean."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael hands Solomon some fruit and leftovers
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, then smiles at Zeal, hugging her and eating the shared meat.
* Kaelan eats the rest of her meat quietly.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It seems everyone is getting better at riding. 6He seems to be trying to make some sort of conversation.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm kind of a fast learner.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean like riding Zeal.
<Zeal> Wh-What!?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok sits down by the fire and he eats some of the cooked bear meat
<DeathStar> <Jean> Miss. Zeal makes Jean feel safe on Solomon!
<DeathStar> 6* The baby bear eats it's food, sniffing the group
<Zeal> I-- do not like riding beasts.
<Kaelan> "I need to learn more."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Solomon is not beast. He's a pretty pet.
<DeathStar> <Jean> He can be the Angel Rider!
<Zeal> He shall ride no such thing!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks.
<Kaelan> "Wha...?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches the two, a confused look as he finishes his food
<DeathStar> <Jean> Angel Pet? 6* She tries.
* Zeal huffs, crossing her arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smirks, then shifts to take Valen's hand once he's down and move a bit over so they can lay together. As promised, she begins to sing a song
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves with her and gets a pleasant look as she sings, he shifts to his side and wraps an arm around her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shifts to cuddle up to the bear, and Zeal, leaving no room for Kaelan this time due to the baby bear
<DeathStar> 6* Ironically, this leaves Kaelan and Dahok as a potential pair
* Kaelan looks over at Dahok quietly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok is sprawled out, his hands behind his head, and his eyes closed
* Kaelan moves over and lays down nearby him.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 3.29
<DeathStar> Location: Camp Site
<DeathStar> 6* Finishing eating the cooked mother that Rachael got out of the way while Jean was asleep, Rachael puts up the food and bowls onto Solomon's pouches. Jean plays with the baby bear, not noticing the group almost ready to depart.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I couldn't find any water here, unfortunately. So we're running low on supplies.
<Kaelan> "We'll have to keep an eye out while we travel then."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stretches a bit, not much of a morning person apparently.
<Zeal> Indeed... none of us will make it far without water.
* Zeal looks slightly resentful she used her's for dye.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen wraps the skin to Solomon. 1Look, now you're a fierce beast. 6He tells the deer.
<DeathStar> 6* The deeretard snorts, as if insulted.
<DeathStar> <Jean> It is time to go, Baby. 6* She picks it up, straining under it's weight, and moves to try to put him on Solomon, who quickly retreats a few feet
<Xanatos> <Valen> You can't take the baby, Jean.
<Zeal> She can. We should walk anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then stubbornly turns to walk with it
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sighs
* Kaelan stays out of it, looking a little cloudy as she checks the straps of her weapons belt.
<Zeal> 'Solomon' has only had a night to recover from a deep wound. My remedies or not, we should not burden him with all of us in addition to the supplies. He would also need more water.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok yawns a bit and he tosses his stuff onto his back, strapping it in place.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I suppose I can't argue with that. 6He pats Solomon again. 1We'll walk then.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess she is right; but it just means Jean will become more attached to the baby monster...
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves to walk along, letting Valen lead Solomon along. Jean, seeing they're walking, sets the baby bear down, telling it to follow her. It doesn't get it, but does follow her anyway
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok starts moving again after the others.
<Kaelan> "I honestly don't want to deny here... nor do I want to see the child monster left alone."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Which means it'll be harder to seperate from it later. 6he nods in agreement
* Kaelan moves with the others.
<Kaelan> NRP: here = her
<DeathStar> 6* Jean walks along, looking like an Indian with a bear, due to her native grassland outfit. This is a two piece one, also, that shows lots of body, because we service fans here
<Zeal> It is a moot point for now. Perhaps he will learn to fend for himself while we travel rather than leaving it be to die." 6She moves to catch up to Jean.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That or it'll become dependent on us.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, taking Zeal's hand. "You can be Baby's other mother!"
<Kaelan> "If it can be trained, it could be trained to wait outside a town... a monster for a pet could be... interesting."
<DeathStar> 6* the baby bear lumbers along, chasing a butterfly about at one point only to get out smarted and fall on it's head. Jean laughs, as if finding it humorous, thinking it was just playing instead of trying to eat it
<Zeal> I seriously have doubts that Valen could 'tame' Solomon strictly by feeding it once to the point of being a steed. Lady Al'ryl has her ...talents as well.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You shouldn't doubt people.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Zeal at that, then to Solomon. 1It was all me, wasn't it? 6He says quietly with a nod.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Valen has a way with animals, though maybe together they do work better. 6* Solomon sniffs Valen's pockets in response to his question
* Kaelan runs a hand through her hair. "Jean seems happy."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen squints slightly. 1You just like me because I feed you. 6He lets out a sigh, giving Solomon some fruit.
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon eats it happily, nuzzling his hand with it's ugly muzzle. Many hours pass, and as the sun works it's way up and slowly down, a little past mid-day, they can see a large city wall ahead that spans for many miles
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks slightly. 1We'll not be able to take the animals inside with us.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Will they be safe out here at night?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Unless we wanted to draw suspicion.
<Kaelan> "They're monsters... they should be. Right?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't know. Maybe we should stay the night and then visit the city during the day.
<Zeal> One can wonder.
<Kaelan> "That might be best..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers ahead in awe.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes a face. "I'd like some good food and a supply of water to bathe tonight."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> A real bath would be nice.
<Zeal> It would..." 6She notes longingly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances off to the side, it's clear what he wants to do.
<DeathStar> 6* The city seems like it's city walls are fort like, with posts along the walls, and the city gate they can see from their angle guarded as well by soldiers. Traders can be seen entering with traveling caravans - some are drawn by strange beasts that those not from Navarro wouldn't recognize
<Zeal> What are those things, anyway? They can bring those in but our cub would be suspicious..?
* Kaelan tilts her head slowly. "What are those...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then thinks and quickly grabs pouches from Solomon, putting them on Baby, then takes her cloak she got back from Kaelan and puts it on him
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm not from around here.
* Zeal blinks, peering at the cub
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes Jean curiously
<DeathStar> 6* The baby bear looks baffled, trying to eat the cloak, but Jean gently scolds him, then shifts to sit on his back like he were a horse.
<Zeal> Is he not... a wee small for that..?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow, watching Jean.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean careful and soothing any aches I cause.
<Kaelan> "I... guess... it might work?"
<Zeal> Hm. I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon snorts warily at the city, not about to approach it, it seems
<Kaelan> "Solomon can wait for us, he's a tough one."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Will you be alright out here on your own? 6he asks Solomon, peering at him as if the horse can hear him.
<Xanatos> NRP: er deer can understand
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon snorts indignantly.
<Zeal> He was attacked before not far from here, though." 6she notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean rides Baby toward the city gate, looking odd it seems. One might wonder what country she'll claim to be from to get away with riding it, but then again, she doesn't know about countries, most likely.
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon chomps Zeal's rear
<Xanatos> <Valen> Very well. 6He moves to take the pouches off of him and the skin, theng lances to Kaelan.
* Zeal falters forward, making a squealish sound, then turns, glaring at the deer
* Kaelan looks to Valen.
<Kaelan> "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pats Solomon, then follows Jean. Solomon rushes off before Zeal can react against him
* Zeal narrows her eyes, considering her bow, but then hrmphs, moving to catch up to Jean
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves to catch up with them
<Xanatos> <Valen> Zeal. We need some of that dye!
* Zeal peers back at Valen, who did not listen when she said she already used it to redye Jean
<Kaelan> "I think we might be out."
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...then you should cut it off.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Jean does have alot of hair, I suppose; once we reach Nuege, I think being blonde won't matter anymore, though
<Kaelan> "Wh-What!?"
<Kaelan> "it will still be blonde at any length!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hopefully word hasn't spread this far.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Being Blonde isn't good, it'll cast suspicion. You should cut it off or remain out here.
<Kaelan> "Surely others with this color hair have gone in today."
<DeathStar> <RAchael> If you cut it short like a man's, I Think I could use something to discolor it. 6* She muses.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gestures to Rachael and nods to Kaelan.
<Kaelan> "I..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Miss. Kaelan, they have likely been told of our group, and know your looks intimately. You would give us away.
* Zeal winces, glad she has her black hair to save her womanliness.
* Kaelan nods and sighs a little, she frowns. "How short..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Less than mine.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe Jean can heal it later. 6* She says politely, to try to ease Kaelan's mind
* Kaelan jerks a little, she grimmaces and nods. "Alright..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches curiouslly now
<DeathStar> 6* Jean gets her bear cub in line
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You'll look fine, Kaelan. It's just hair
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's hair. It'll grow back, stop being such a child. 6He snorts in annoyance, walking off after Jean.
* Zeal stands next to Jean, trying to comb her hair back to perfection after travelling.
* Kaelan ties her hair back and pulls it carefully, looking like someone about to mutilate herself, she pulls the hair back more and pulls out her dagger, she cuts the length off. After which she glares at Valen.
<DeathStar> 6* Once Kaelan gives herself a haircut like Fyro's, Rachael moves over and uses some of the flowers to make her hair look more brown
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok lowly whistles a bit at that
<DeathStar> <Rachael> There, you do not look so bad. Right, Dahok?
* Kaelan glances over at him, showing a flash of nervousness.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It looks lovely.
* Kaelan looks away, her cheeks coloring a little. "Really...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles at Kaelan, then joins the others in line. The guards eye Jean and her cub, squinting at it. "What manner of ride is this?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gives her a smile and he joins the others in line
* Kaelan walks with them, she looks down a little.
<Zeal> A bit unorthodox, sir, yet it loves her, so I could not convince her to choose another.
<DeathStar> 6* So far there seems to be no wanted pictures up yet, but that is likely due to do Solomon being faster than a horse.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards study them all intently, then shrugs, waving them on inside. Jean smiles and rides her cub on in, with Rachael following her. Once part the guards, she whispers. <Rachael> I wonder if we have a day still before people arrive with Lady Zeal's and Miss. Kaelan's descriptions.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We should use what time we have to our advantage then
<Xanatos> <Valen> We probably shouldn't stay much longer than that either.
<Kaelan> "I'm disguised... what do we do about Zeal though? Dark hair or not..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe we can get some dye while we're here.
* Zeal peers back at Rachael. 1"It would serve no purpose to lighten my hair after darkening all others. Being all the same would only be suspicious as well, however, I do need to seek out new clothes. Shall I take lady Al'ryl with me or?"
<DeathStar> 6* There's an inn near the city gate, as well as some stores; one store seems to carry items and supplies. The town has a more soldierly feel to it, but it's also clear it's got a trader feel, as trading booths are set up with people selling goods from Nuege as well as other places. The smell of food whifts down from further into town
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Her hairs kind of dark to dye isn't it?
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't really know that works. 6He say to Dahok with a slight shrug.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses and sniffs the food
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll get a room for us, and then see about tents at one of the stores here. We should get supplies that are vital to us.
<Kaelan> "Hmm... how are we for weapons?"
<Zeal> If no one is voicing an opinion I will just do so then...
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm good on weapons. But if we're heading north. Valen and I can find the supplies we'll need
<Xanatos> <Valen> I need to find a blacksmith so I can sell this. 6He taps the other sword at his side.
<Kaelan> "I should give all your weapons a lookover, I can look for a smithy that'll lend me the fires after the work day."
* Zeal gestures to Jean, taking her with her to clothes shop
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers about in awe, wandering about on her cub to look a trading booth selling fruit. She'd probably buy it if were given gold.
<Kaelan> "We'll be looking for the same thing then."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then follows Zeal, eyeing a banana like fruit longingly.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles, then moves into the inn closest to the gate
<Xanatos> <Valen> We'll all meet back at the inn here. 6He nods to them and begins to move off in search of the blacksith.
* Kaelan moves off with Valen.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches him go and he peers around then shrugs and moves off to explore
<DeathStar> 6* The group would pass a fine looking item/supply store on their journey. Next to it, Zeal would see a clothing store.
* Zeal brightens a bit, dragging Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, and tries to ride her cub inside. The store owner looks over, freaking out
<DeathStar> -PAUSE-
<Xanatos> Pause, not end?
<DeathStar> ER, end

* Now talking in #TopSecretMedievalClothingFanGirlService
* triton.esper.net sets mode: +nt
* Kit has joined #TopSecretMedievalClothingFanGirlService
<DeathStar> 6* The store owner freaks out at a bearoar cub entering his store
<Kit> <Zeal> Ah... Lady Al'ryl, he might need to wait outside. He is... rather large to be wandering within this place.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then looks sad, peering at him. "What if he gets lonely?"
<Kit> <Zeal> He may remain near the entry and see within, then he shant be lonely, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean kneels to talk to the bear, then leads him to sit by the entrance. She takes the cloak to make a sort of leash for him, so no one steals him, then steps back in. The owner is eyeing her. "Since when do the grasslander people have those things as pets?"
<Kit> <Zeal> She is not a normal case, good sir." 6She smiles weakly, then peers about, looking happier again.
<DeathStar> 6* Clothing items that provide no value to stats can be seen about, ranging from the latest tastes in Navarro and Nuege. They can be bought with "gold". There's also some armor plates and whatnot, that costs real gold.
<Kit> 6Zeal almost seems childish at this point for once, murmuring as she rummages, having immediately jumped to the softer and brighter sheens, definitely a pension for silk, but pauses, realizing her error and moves toward clothing of warmer variety.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves around, then holds up a piece of lingere - well, as close as one comes to in this time period. It seems to be lacey and showy. She peers at it, then her deerskin outfit, then it.
<Kit> 6Zeal blinks, then laughs softly behind her hand. 1"Ah, lady Al'ryl, that is an undergarment."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Undergarment?
<Kit> 6Zeal nods, smiling. 1"Yes, like mine." 6She pauses, looking a bit shy. 1"You have seen them, lady Al'ryl."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks, then nods, smiling. "Jean doesn't have undergarments!" 6* She declares boldly. Some men in the store eye her, then drop items so they can bend over.
<Kit> <Zeal> Admittedly many do not since it could be considered a luxury or an unnecessary garment and thus a waste of money." 6She makes a face, looking stubborn. 1"I would not go without them. Hrmph!"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Should I buy this? 6* She holds the lingere curiously, peering at the price tag that's rather high
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks at Jean, frowning. 1"Would you... like to wear them, lady Al'ryl? I could spare for you should you wish to..." 6She notes, clearly vying for her to do so but trying not to be pushy or forward.
<Kit> <Zeal> Wool is warm, but rather... itchy. Cotton is comfortable and excellent breathing for warm days, but I prefer the feel of silk." 6She sniffs, then reels a bit. 1"L-Lady Al'ryl that is... a bit more extravagant than necessary would you not say?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean considers, then nods, holding the sexy lingere to herself. "I want to wear these!" 6* She begins to get undressed like she's seen Rachael do. The men in the store take note
<Kit> 6Zeal reels, then moves to grab Jean and take her over to draw a curtain.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks in confusion, then pauses and gets undressed, having no shyness about her, then puts the lingere on slowly, wiggling her hips a bit as she slides in, then turns to face Zeal.
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm. A single piece, it is more supportive than a set... however, is it comfortable, lady Al'ryl?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, taking Zeal's hands and putting them on her chest so she can feel it
<DeathStar> 6* Though with her normal clothing, she'd probably do better with a silk bra and underwear than lingere
<Kit> 6Zeal pauses, reddening slightly, then hangs her head. 1"Ah, of course. Lady Al'ryl would choose something expensive of silk... by chance..." 6She murmurs, then eyes her. 1"...However, if you will wear it..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean tests her balance like she saw Rachael do by spreaing her legs
<Kit> <Zeal> ... ..." 6She shifts, unsettled. 1"Lady Al'ryl, you mustn't do such things."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, looking confused.
<Kit> 6Zeal squints, reaching over and slowly closes Jean's knees.
<DeathStar> 6* She lets her, then pauses, looking like she's been scolded. "Jean do something bad again?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Please do not worry yourself, lady Al'ryl.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Okay... 6* She smiles and hugs Zeal
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, her eys widening and flails a little, but doesn't say anything, peering away modestly.
<DeathStar> <Jean> So should I get this for my under garments? 6* She lets go and wiggles a bit
<Kit> <Zeal> If it is comfortable and you will wear it... I will... make it so." 6She notes, pouting a bit mentally.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles more and hugs Zeal, then hurries out to purchase it
<Kit> <Zeal> Ah, lady Al'ryl, please wait. We need to select clothing beyond undergarments. If we travel north we should purchase warmer garments.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then nods innocently, waiting as instructed.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What should we buy? 6* She peers out at clothes, trying to figure out what would eb warmer
<Kit> <Zeal> I cannot stand to feel restricted, yet I am easily enticed by modern styles..." 6She muses, peering through. 1"Thicker clothes, or ones made of hides of animals coated for the winter would be warmest."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, as if that makes sense to her, then pauses, waiting for Zeal to pick one
<Kit> 6Zeal glances through the shelves, and knowing there's probably warmer things, but enamored by a set of skirts and vests made from a cotton-base, layered with wool, then lined with a winter rabbit's fur, so she gathers it up, then hunts around until finding deerskin stockings and covering for her arms. Thin, but hide, so fashionable in her opinion, mobile, but wind-proof and warmth-holding.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean follows her curiously, picking up the same items as she does. One of the men snickers. "They must like to dress alike."
<Kit> <Zeal> Ah, lady Al'ryl, I will find you something warmer, surely. I merely could not help myself considering this... cute... garment." 6She sighs at her weakness, but smiles, then pats Jean, hunting for her some thicker trousers, a wool shirt with a cotton vest that's worn over it, then a cloak of likely a local wolf-like creature's fur.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers it over, blinking at it. "This covers a lot."
<Kit> <Zeal> Indeed. Then wind and air cannot freeze you, lady Al'ryl, and this kind of fur repels rain and sleet so you do not get wet. When we are indoors or find warmer climate, you can remove the shirt and merely wear the vest and set the cloak aside.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Okay... 6* She seems sad at the idea of so much clothes, but seems to trust whatever Zeal says.
<Kit> 6Zeal smiles cheerfully at her, then goes to find boots that match her outfit lined with rabbit fur, and some for Jean lined with fur to match the cloak, definitely warm-- then gloves for herself and for Jean.
<DeathStar> <Jean> This is fun! Can we do this at every place we visit? 6* She comments, apparantly picking up on Zeal's shopaholic nature
<Kit> <Zeal> I hope so!" 6She giggles, moving for the curtains.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean follows along after her. Some of the men in the store casually stand closer, as if hoping to see something
<Kit> 6Zeal frowns a bit, pulling the curtains tightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean beams. "Do you need help changing?" 6* She offers
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm..? No, I am quite capable." 6She blinks, tilting her head as she goes to strip down to her undergarments again, apparently at least currently, not going to spaz about being unclothed around Jean of all people. Unsoaked her bra and panties are white with embrodery of flowers along them, chiffon and lace along the borders. An expensive matching set made in Sinas for the 'desert rose.'
<DeathStar> <Jean> Pretty. 6* She peers at the flowery designs, reaching out to touch them. "Very pretty, like Zeal!"
<Kit> 6Zeal pauses, reddening slightly. 1"L-Lady Al'ryl, that is very improper..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then lets go quickly. "J-Jean sorry."
<Kit> <Zeal> Pay no heed, lady Al'ryl, there is no reason to sulk.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What type of flowers are they?
<Kit> <Zeal> Desert lilies.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Can I see some one day?
<Kit> <Zeal> I imagine we may cross some eventually." 6She muses. 1"You never know where the wind may pass."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean considers. "Everywhere?" 6* She guesses
<Kit> 6Zeal sits, sliding the deerskin stockings up to her thighs, and along her arms up to her armpit, slips on the rabbit fur skirts and vests, buttoning them. She idly takes her hair, braiding it over her shoulder, then ties the end with a strip of loose fur to match, stowing her fancy headress pin, then tugs on the new boots and fits herself with the fur gloves, twisting to eye herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean watches, then smiles. "You look very nice!"
<Kit> <Zeal> Ah, you are too kind." 6She toes the ground, then smiles at Jean. 1"You should change, lady Al'ryl.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Alright? It's not cold yet. 6* She seems confused.
<DeathStar> *Already
<Kit> <Zeal> W-Well... it is much colder than where I live.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Because...deserts are hot?
<Kit> 6Zeal nods quickly. 1"Very good, lady Al'ryl!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles at the compliment. She begins to get changed into the outfit like Zeal asked, working to get each piece on
<Kit> 6Zeal kneels to help her when she sees trouble, especially with the boots.
<DeathStar> <Jean> These feel weird. 6* She says of the boots, used to being barefooted.
<Kit> <Zeal> Most people are used to them. They will protect your feet and make walking easier." 6She smiles.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. 6* She taps her foot on the ground innocently
<Kit> 6Zeal grins at her, stowing their other clothing as she draws the curtain back, then goes to study some of the armor work
<DeathStar> 6* Jean follows along after Zeal. A leather armor pad for the chest seems to run at about 40 gold, while a metal one runs at about 100. Zeal has 35
<Kit> 6Zeal hangs her head and moves to sit, adorning her legs with her old grieves and gauntlet, retying the leather brace to her drawing wrist. 1"I suppose we are done here for now, lady Al'ryl. Shall we tidy our exchange and leave?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Okay! Rachael said something about looking at a store, too, for supplies! We might meet her there
<Kit> <Zeal> Very well. Do you recall where?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods and takes her hand to lead her out, collecting Baby, and move on
* Kogitsune has joined #TopSecretMedievalClothingFanGirlService
<Kit> 6Zeal blinks, then steps to match her pace. 1"L-Lady Al'ryl..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes? 6* She stops outside the item shop
<Kit> <Zeal> Ushering about... it is unlady-like.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. 6* She slows, then enters slowly. Inside, they'd see Rachael studying tents, amongst other items
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Hilund," 6She calls, waving.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers up, smiling and waving. "Hi, Lady Zeal!"
<Kit> 6Zeal poses for her, then gestures to Jean. 1"We have aquired clothing suitable of our further journey."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then nods. "You both look very nice. You have good taste, Lady Zeal. I admit, I'm still wondering what I will wear. I'm used to warmer climates."
<Kit> <Zeal> I as well. Sinas lies within a desert.

<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, then smiles. "They have tents here on sale. We can get some privacy on the joureny now - and some warmth."
<Kit> <Zeal> Shelter from elements is always nice... I should see if they have bedrolls.." 6She peers at Rachael. 1"But privacy... your relationship with sir Lankin is that far?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's unique. But not like you might think. We're just not used to so many people, if that makes sense.
<Kit> <Zeal> It is ... not normal for people to watch such things!
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, tilting her head, then smiles. "So do you plan to buy a tent, or bedroll? We can share tents, of course, on colder nights. I imagine you and Jean will share one, right?"
<Kit> <Zeal> I would prefer to remain near for her safety, if that is what you mean." 6She tilts her head as well. 1"I would buy a bedroll either way. They are... comfortable. Softer than the ground and warm. and cozy."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Tents appear to be 35 gold. Do you have enough? I could loan you some.
<Kit> <Zeal> Everything is so expensive here...!" 6She hisses, exasperated.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I am sorry. It is likely due to this being a trading city. I think. I've read they can drive prices up. If you want to wait for another village, I could occassionally let you borrow mine
<Kit> <Zeal> No, no. That would be rather improper. Especially with sir Lankin...
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael considers. "Mr. Dahok has a lot of gold. He might could share some with you, too, if you don't have enough."
<Kit> <Zeal> I will not take more than my share.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers about the store, finding a stat rising item that costs 90 gold. The store owner snatches it from her
<Kit> <Zeal> Ah, lady Al'ryl, you shant touch things that do not belong..
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then hangs her head and puts her hands behind her back. "I thought Baby might like it."
<Kit> <Zeal> It costs too much, I am afraid.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, a bit sadly, but seems to bounce back quickly. She peers at other items curiously
* DeathStar is now known as DS[Nappy]
<Kit> <Zeal> I-- think my declaration of being the angel's knight is liable to empty my purse.
<DS[Nappy]> 6* Rachael laughs softly. "I am sure you will teach her the value of the coin."
<Kit> <Zeal> I wonder. Value has different meaning for one naive of the world's greed...
<DS[Nappy]> <Rachael> I guess that is true. Perhaps you should teach her not to throw coin around, so she is not taken advantage of/
<Kit> <Zeal> I... will try, I suppose." 6She seems reluctant, as if not wanting to impose some sort of restriction on Jean.
<DS[Nappy]> 6* Rachael smiles a bit, then moves to select a tent
* DS[Nappy] is now known as DeathStar
* DeathStar is now known as DS[DeadAgain]
* DS[DeadAgain] is now known as DeathStar
<Kit> 6Zeal meanders over, peeking over Rachael's shoulder so to speak
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael seems to be picking a nice tent that can fit two people, the color green like the grasslands, in case they come back through. It seems to be made from it as well, though coated with a liner to make it soft.
<Kit> <Zeal> So how long have you been... intimate with sir Lankin?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, as if not undestanding. "We've been close since we were littl."
<Kit> <Zeal> I-- h-how little, exactly?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Um... 6* She seems to think carefully. "As far back as I can remember."
<Kit> <Zeal> H-How indecent..
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, looking more confused. "Why is being close to someone indecent?"
<Kit> <Zeal> In that manner, not being close." 6She blinks.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't understand. Were you and Miss. Kaelan not close? You seem rather intimate to me. She leans on you for comfort when she sleeps.
* DeathStar is now known as DS-NandS
<Kit> <Zeal> I did not ask her to. Her ill manners are merely my folly. Besides, it is cold at night in the open. I find Jean at my side comforting, let along another to block the wind.
<DS-NandS> <Rachael> Yes! 6* She nods, as if Zeal is finally understanding
<DS-NandS> 6* Jean smiles at the mention of her bringing comfort and hugs onto Zeal
<Kit> 6Zeal peers at Rachael, frowning. 1"...Yet you kissed. How could I misunderstand.."
<DS-NandS> <Rachael> Is kissing bad?
<Kit> 6Zeel reels at that, peering between Jean and Rachael. 1"You two... ye be of similar cloth."
<DS-NandS> 6* Both peer at their clothes now
<Kit> <Zeal> A figure of speech, miladies. You are alike, in ways.
<DS-NandS> <Rachael> In good ways?
<Kit> <Zeal> Hm, it would not necessarily be considered bad ways.
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Innocence, a precious thing, no doubt.

<DeathStar> <Rachael> I wish more of the world can be like Jean. 6* She says with a smile

<Kit> <Zeal> I should think we would be as well off if there were more like you.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael bows politely, then begins to purchase the tent, paying 35 gold for it
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael turns. "Here, I'll take you back to your rooms. I got us 3 of them."
<Kit> <Zeal> We have seperate rooms, milady?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, I assumed Valen and I would have one, you and Jean would have one, and Mr. Dahok would have one with Miss. Kaelan. I suppose three people could fit in one room, though, if you don't like the arrangements
<Kit> <Zeal> It is little matter of my enjoyment, milady Rachael, so much as expenses. We are... travelling, and I will no longer have access to funds." 6She smiles sheepishly, then jerks.
<Kit> <Zeal> I should not have spent so much on clothes perhaps...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm sorry I don't have any to share with you. 6* She motions at her own set. "I wash these every other day since it's my only pair."
<Kit> 6Zeal shakes her head, gesturing to her new outfit-- and Jean's.
<Kit> <Zeal> I also bought her some underclothing, since she was found wanting.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then nods with understanding.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael works on folding the tent properly, then moves out and pats Baby. Jean follows. <Jean>They're made of silk and feel nice. Want to touch?
<Kit> 6Zeal facepalms. 1"I must admit, milady Hilund... I noticed while you borrowed my clothing that you yourself lack..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Under garments? I sleep in these.
<Kit> <Zeal> Yes well... at certain angles, you know...
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks confused. Her loin cloth mostly works like underwear, though if shifted, would give a great angle. She looks confused and peers herself over. "Has my outfit been moving again? I imagine Solomon does bounce me well."
<Kit> <Zeal> When you climbed the ladder at the archives, I daresay Dahok sighted more than I should like.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm. I guess I should go last, then. 6* She muses thoughtfully. "I don't know Mr. Dahok that well."
<Kit> 6Zeal reels at her answer. 1"Do you have something against undergarments, lady Hilund..?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I like what I wear. I imagine I'll still wear these under the warmer clothes we'll have to have on when we go to Nuege. 6* She walks toward the inn.
<Kit> <Zeal> I suppose I cannot preach toward." 6She muses, mumbling. 1"I find mine quite comfortable..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean walks along with Baby, petting it and letting it touch her undergarment
<DeathStar> <Rachael> They are... nice. 6* She notes politely. She steps into the inn.
<Kit> <Zeal> Y-You saw them, lady Hilund!?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We did exchange clothing. I happened to see you body when we did. You have a very nice body. I should try to get in shape like you. 6* The inn owner eyes the bear and freaks
<Kit> 6Zeal pauses, then nods slowly. 1"It is not as if you are 'out of shape,' milady. I merely... well, I have my routines, and of course, my duties."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe you could help me exercise and tone up?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pleads with the inn owner about Baby, who says monsters aren't allowed. Jean snaps her fingers and Baby gives a sad bear face; apparantly Jean trained it
<Kit> <Zeal> I will do my best at your descretion, milady.
<DeathStar> <Inn Owner> It'll eat the customers!
<Kit> <Zeal> Sir, he is far too small for that. Also, if that were the case, we surely would have been eaten long ago.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean wiggles her fingers and the bearoar sits pretty. Sighing, the inn owner relents, and Rachael leads them up the stairs into #ValenAndKaelanGetARoom
<Kit> NRP: *eyes that room empty*
<DeathStar> NRP: Odd! Maybe I misspelled it

* Seraphna has joined #ValenAndKaelenGetARoom
* Xanatos has joined #ValenAndKaelenGetARoom
<DeathStar> 6* The busy streets of the town are much like that of the Capital of Navarro, though it seems more traders are on the streets, as well as shops. Soldiers can be seen on the city walls for patrol, and while Nuege traders are definitely there, the natives seem to treat them poorly
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan's rock aches her head. Because she never answered Valen properly
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves through the town quietly, using some awesome gentle push for when people crowd him.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves with him, staying slightly behind like a good bitch and letting Valen wedge the crowd for her.
<DeathStar> 6* One person drops a box and eyes Valen. "What the hell?" 6* This of course alerts the entire city to Valen. Ho ho
<Xanatos> <Valen> My apologies, sir.
<DeathStar> 6* The man mutters, picking it up and moving on.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan eyes the man, she shrugs and moves a bit closer to Valen. "So we want a decent smithy."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm sure if they're kept in business they'll likely be decent.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You'd be surprised... but usually that is the case."
<DeathStar> 6* As they travel, they'd pass an Weapons and Armor store, with the sounds of banging behind the building
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slows to a pauses and peers at the name of the store, then glances to Kaelan.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head and nods a little, moving towards it.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves after her.
<DeathStar> 6* The store has a lot of leather and metal armors, as well as swords and weapons. A man stands behind the counter, watching the two
* Seraphna steps into the shop, her eyes running over the goods they sell appraisingly.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers around as he moves in, mostly focusing on the leather armor.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be a leather chest plate for about 40 gold that offers some protection.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms before glances to the man. 1Hello. Do you purchase used weapons here?
<DeathStar> <Man> Depends on the quality of the weapon.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan appears pleased with that kind of answer.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen unhooks the sword and it's sheath from his belt and holds it out. 1I aquired it during my journey but I've only need for one sword.
<DeathStar> 6* The man takes it, testing the balance first, then peers at the quality of it.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen waits patiently, glancing to the armor from before again.
<DeathStar> <Man> I'll give you 25 gold for it.
* Seraphna looks over between the two, then at the blade. She crosses her arms and looks at the store's selection of weapons.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen perks up slightly and nods. 1I can accept that. I'm looking to replace my armor. 6He peers down at his damaged clothing. 1Would you be willing to trade the armor for the sword perhaps?
<DeathStar> <Man> The armor is worth 40 gold.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes that's true. I believe I will have to split the difference then. 6He nods.
<DeathStar> 6* On the walls, there's tools to help sharpen weapons/maintain them as well
<Seraphna> "How much for those tools?" *she points them out*
<DeathStar> <Man> 40 gold for one set. 6* She can probably use a set about 3 times at her skill level to repair/sharpen equipment
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan has 45 gold on her
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Hmmm, alright, I'll take a set."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan takes out the coins needed and lays them on the counter.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes the armor and peers it over. 1Is there an option to get this tailored to my size?
<DeathStar> 6* The man moves over. "Yes. It'll be ready tomorrow. Let me take your measurements." 6* He begins to size Valen up
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods. 1I pay then?
<DeathStar> <Man> Yes. I can go ahead and give you credit for the sword now, or you can bring it tomorrow.
<DeathStar> 6* He moves over and takes Kaelan's gold
<Xanatos> 6* Valen bows his head. 1Thank you very much. Will you need a name, or should you be here?
<DeathStar> <Man> I'll be here. Always here at Phan and Pher's Armory.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan takes the set of tools and puts them away, she thinks about the name of the shop a little, idly running her hand through her shortened hair.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods again. 1I've seen the name before, they seem to be everywhere.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yeah... I remember hearing it."
<DeathStar> <Man> We're the best. You two sirs would do well to shop with us
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "T-Two---" *she goes red*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I believe I will from now on. Until tomorrow. 6He bows his head to the man, glancing to Kaelan and then turns to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* The man nods, moving to jot a note about the sword and the armor in his notebook, then shifts to take the sword in the back for the blacksmith to look it over
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns and moves out with him. "Thanks for the business..." *she sighs and steps out with Valen* "I don't... really look like a boy now, do I?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Short hair isn't common with women, that's all it is.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and pokes at her breasts. 1These aren't really large either, so it could be why.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> *eyes him, going red again* "I-It's the leathers... maybe if I displayed a little more." *she looks away*
<Xanatos> <Valen> All a man needs in a handful. You've enough. 6He says before he moves on.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan walks along with him, frowning a little. "I have no idea why I'm getting so worked up." *she frowns* "I guess I was a little proud of my hair."
<DeathStar> 6* As they pass item shops, they can see peddlars trying to sell things ranging from ropes, to horse saddles, to horses
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Kaelan. 1You're young, you probably would like to find yourself a nice man to settle down with. Losing your hair put a puddle in the way of that path. 6he pauses and asks the price of a horse curiously.
<DeathStar> <Man> 150 gold for this fine steed!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... mother did always talk about how I'd never get a man acting so much like a boy... and now... argh."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Speaking of how I dress... I may want to change what I wear too." *she looks down at the clothes and leathers*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns, wishing he had enough for a horse and bows politely to the man, moving to follow Kaelan into whatever store she's going too. 1Being a blacksmith isn't what I would want in a woman, personally.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks around for something with clothes. "It's the family trade... can't help how we're made. We've been crafting weapons for generations."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a clothing store near the inn
<Xanatos> <Valen> A woman should know her way about a kitchen, at least somewhat, and how to clean as well.
* Seraphna heads for the clothing store. "...You sound like Mom now."
<DeathStar> 6* There's various clothings with no stat influences that are "free" gold, while there's also some leather armored outfits here that cost real gold.
* Seraphna looks between the clothing and armored outfits, seeing what leather might work with what she has already.
<DeathStar> 6* The armored plates cost 40 gold.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Hmm, I'll have to see about making some gold... maybe that smithy could use an extra hand." *she selects some of the cloth she likes for now, wanting to change her appearance at least*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shrugs slightly at the mom thing, looking for a cloak.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a pretty blue cloak - and your normal brown/black ones
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a little after she purchases the outfit parts, fixing her leathers a bit and pulling off the top part that covers chest and neck. She slips it away as well. "I'll have to change when I've washes, don't want to spoil this."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves to the brown ones.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be a variety of brown colors - for the boring, incognito traveler. One man seems to be browsing some of the black ones, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. He has light brown hair and seems to be in his twenties.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers the man over slightly before picking out a cloak in his size.
<DeathStar> 6* The man hmmms, then nods to Valen once, flashing a smile. "Nice choice."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks over at the man quietly.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I enjoy earth colors. 6he nods. 1You're a traveler as well?
<DeathStar> <Man> Yes. Heading northward. 6* He selects a black cloak, testing it's fabric
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh? Mind if I ask the purpose?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan eyes the cloak, she walks over and looks at the selection as well.
<DeathStar> <Man> Oh, taking in the sights. I hear Nuege has plenty of them. 6* He nods, then moves to purchase the cloak, pulling out a full pouch and setting out the coin
<Xanatos> <Valen> Good luck in your travels then. 6he calls out, then looks to Kaelan.
<DeathStar> <Man> You too, friend! 6* He takes his purchase and moves out
<Seraphna> * Kaelan pulls down a simple earth colored cloak, looking back at Valen. "He seemed nice."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head, "Something the matter?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> No. Nothing. We should get back to the inn.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods and moves for the door. "So... how long have you and Rachael been together?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> A very long time.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh, childhood friends turned lover, that sort of thing?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> You could say that.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Interesting... sorry to butt my nose in so much, but the only one of you I know well is Zeal and well... we are sort of having to trust one another with our lives."
<Xanatos> <Valen> That's not exactly as reason to be nosey. I don't need to know anthing about who you are as long as I know you won't stick a dagger into my back. Infact I would rather keep it so that I don't know much. You grow attached and when someone dies, which they will with the type of thing we are doing, then it hurts.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns a little. "Yet if you only see everyone around you as someone who will etiher die or as someone you will have to part with, how will you ever see them as a real ally or anything other then a possible pawn?" *she frowns a bit* "I think you're all worth a little bit more then that. Jean does too."
<Xanatos> <Valen> A pawn. 6he repeats, focusing on that word.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Something easily traded."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Let me be clear. You don't know me, you probably never will. But I would never use someone for my own personal gain.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "And to be fair, it's because I do not know you that I don't know that. Though I do have to admit, what I do know of your through your actions does say the same."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Then pay attention to my actions. In a world like this, it's what you do, not what you say. I risk everything as it is. That should say enough.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What... is everything? Everything to you that is."
<DeathStar> 6* The store owner eyes the two as they talk
<DeathStar> 6* Tons of people in the street eye the two as they talk
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns and moves for the inn.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Kaelan and looks ahead.
<DeathStar> 6* The inn is quieter and a man is seated in the main area
<Xanatos> 6Valen glances towards the man as he moves along.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan stays close to Valen.
<DeathStar> <Man> Can I help you?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Likely not. I was simply glancing. 6He bows his head in apologetically.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks around the inn quietly.
<DeathStar> <Man> Do you two need a room? Hour or day?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan goes a bit red in the face again.
<Xanatos> <Valen> We're here with some others.
<DeathStar> <Man> Name?
<Xanatos> <Valen> A Valen, or perhaps a Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* The man nods, moving over to the desk and gets two keys. "She has the third set. Paid for three rooms."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods. 1Alright. Thank you very much.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks at Valen thoughtfully.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes the keys and moves for the rooms, looking for Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* One door has a note. It's next to the two rooms they have
<Xanatos> 6* Valen reads over the note.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers at the note too.
<DeathStar> "Gone to the item store to get tent supplies. - R."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I wonder how we're dividing the rooms, I figure you two will want to be alone."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Probably. You should take this key and go find Dahok. He'll probably take a room for himself.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I could just wait here for him to show." *she tilts her head* "I may have to bunk with him, with Jean keeping her new pet along."
<Xanatos> <Valen> That's true. 6* He reaches out to test the lock on his and Rachael's room
<DeathStar> 6* It's unlocked; she probably didn't think of big city dangers
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms, then gives the keys to Kaelan and then a nod before stepping into the room.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan takes them and checks on one of the rooms.
* DeathStar is now known as DS[LovesYou]
* DS[LovesYou] is now known as DeathStar
* Kit has joined #ValenAndKaelenGetARoom
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael walks up with Jean, Zeal, and a bearoar.
<Kit> NRP: You spelled Kaelan wrong here.
<Kit> NRP: Clearly Neko mispelled her name all along.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael tries the door to her room, and moves in; another door is open, with Kaelan inside wandering about.
<Kit> <Zeal> It seems we will be staying within this one, lady Al'ryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers inside; Kaelan apperas to have the keys to the third door on her as well.
* Sera has joined #ValenAndKaelenGetARoom
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peeks in at Kaelan wandering about without noticing them.
<Sera> * KAelan looks up at Jean and smiles. "Hey, have a good time?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, wearing a new outfit it seems, picked ou tno doubt by Zeal
<Sera> * Kaelan sits in a new outfit as well, half dressed in fact. "Did you guys need a key?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused as to why they would need a maid. Ho ho. She peers at Zeal, while Baby sniffs Kaelan like she were food
<Sera> * Kaelan looks at the baby, pulling out a snack and laying it on the floor for the bear.
<DeathStar> 6* The bear sniffs it, then eats on it. Jean huggles her bear
<Sera> * Kaelan smiles a bit. "Anything interesting happen?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks, then announces that Zeal has a toned and fit body from working out and her duties.
<Kit> 6Zeal leans in, her attire changed to that of vests and skirts made from rabbit fur, gloves and boots lined to match, and deerskin stockings along her legs and arms.
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl... do not say such unnecessary things..
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then hangs her head. "S-Sorry.."
<Sera> Kaelan> "Why are you so shy about it Zeal?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Excuse me?" 6She looks confused.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean studies herself. She has a pretty well toned body and well sized breasts herself, more so than most of the other women in the group. At the same time, she seems thin and perhaps a bit underweight from her healing. She looks up. "Am I in good shape?"
<Sera> Kaelan> "About everything concerning your body." *she eyes Jean* "Yes, you're in great shape."
<Kit> <Zeal> IS there a problem that a lady should be self-conscious and modest with their body, Kael?" 6She remarks, using the shorter form. 1"Ah, it must be a liberating experience, to be so ...unbound."
<Sera> Kaelan> "I suppose... I'd have to have been bound to know why it's liberating."
<Kit> <Zeal> ... Yes, well." 6She doesn't bother explaining figurative language.
<Kit> <Zeal> I will excuse myself..." 6She nods her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then gets up to follow Zeal
<Sera> * Kaelan frowns a little. "Hey... Jean?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Kaelan, blinking
<Sera> Kaelan> "Have any luck remembering anything yet?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused
<Sera> Kaelan> "From before you arrived..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh! 6* She recalls everything --- before arriving in this city
<DeathStar> 6* To finding her
<Sera> Kaelan> "I..." *she sighs and smiles* "Nevermind for now."
<Sera> * Kaelan looks a little troubled.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, looking worried
<Sera> Kaelan> "Oh..." *she notices the look* "Don't worry Jean. I'm just... still trying to adjust to everything that's happened. I'll be better."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean gives her a hug, then turns to follow Zeal
<Sera> * Kaelan hugs back and smiles a little. She watches Jean go.
* Sera has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
