Bonnie

Bonnie keeps true to her word and remains silent, assuming phanaton involvement. Her eyes do widen when Chauncey suggests the possibility of Grue, but shakes her head. It's much too bright around for that.

She stays a bit away from the others, but not so far as to have a chance that any noise would be noticed. Let's say 6 feet.

Almonds From The Tree

Late Morning, Sunny, Hot, Buggy


Chauncey warns everyone what they could be up against as he and Mr. Wrenly argue and look up into the treetops.

Suddenly, Wes's old friend Chwee glides down from overhead, followed by 6 other phanaton who land 3 in front of the group and 3 behind. Chwee looks into Wes's eyes, chattering in his strange jungle language. The other phanaton remain silent, but sniff the air around them instinctually.

Wes

Wes smiles when he sees Chwee. Then he turns and says to the others "This could get awkward if they ask about you-know-who. What's our explanation?"

Turning back to Chwee, Wes shows his empty hands and gives Chwee an few seconds to hopefully realize that he's going to cast a spell. With that, he begins to cast Speak With Animals. Once the spell is in effect, Wes greets the Phanaton. "Hello Chwee! It's good to see you again. What would you like to talk about?"

Grimm

The dwarf puts aside his crossbow. He doesn't know why but he's a little nervous.

"I- I don't know. If they ask, tell them that we had an argument because we didn't like her behaviour and... and that we rather not see her?"

Chauncey draws upon his considerable acting skills to appear nonchalant. He conspicuously DOES NOT LOOK at the area where Bonnie isn't, or he believes her not to be, suddenly becoming very interested in inspecting the surrounding foliage.

Mr. Wrenly freezes in place and smiles (in his simian, grimacy way).

Chwee Returns
Godsday, 23rd of Goodmonth
Late Morning, Sunny, Hot, Buggy


I will assume that Bonnie also remines silent here. :twisted:

The other phanaton look nervous and brandish their sharpened sticks once Wes starts his spell, but Chwee has seen this before. He calms his mates and listens to the druid, eventually responding.
"Hello again Wes. It is good to see that you and your friends remain alive. I have some good news and a little surprise for you from the elders of our clan, since I see you have finally decided to cut ties with the ooman we spoke of last time we met?"

Wes

Wes pauses a moment before answering. He notices that the end of Chwee's statement was phrased as a question. A thought passes through his head Is it a trap? Is he trying to catch me out?

"That's very welcome news Chwee. Please give me a moment to tell my friends."

After translating for the others, he addresses Chwee again. "Yes, the other human, Bonnie, continued to cause problems for us. We decided that we no longer wished to see her. She will have to make her own way after this. Our friendship with the Phanaton is too valuable."

"So, what is the good news you speak of?"

Grimm

Grimm doesn't like that their asking about Bonnie. He fidgets a bit and alternatively changes his weight from one leg to the other.

Cealwyn Blackthorn

Cealwyn watches, seemingly impassive and focused on non-threatening body language. He's coiled tight as a spring inside, though, ready for what may come.

Chwee Returns
Godsday, 23rd of Goodmonth
Late Morning, Sunny, Hot, Buggy


I will assume that Bonnie remains silent here.......again.

Despite Chauncey's overexaggerated discovery, Chwee continues to chatter and squeak to Wes in his native tongue.
"Our Great Leader Snarku has agreed to bestow upon you a mighty gift to repay you for helping us by killing the evil one at the temple."
The phanaton captain reaches into a pouch on his leather harness, causing even more tension for the groups fighters. Pulling out a fist sized, perfectly round sphere of stone the color of deep sea green, Chwee holds it out towards the group for everyone to see. Clearing his throat, he almost impresses with an attempt at your common tongue. "A gifff....from phan-ton to franny ooman peehole."

Chauncey drops all pretense and leans forward, suddenly hyper-attentive, at the production of the "round stone." He remains standing where he is, however, and does not approach Chwee or his compatriots any closer.

"A valuable and timely gift, Wesley," he says to the party human-elf-dwarf-phanoton intermediary, making an effort to contain his enthusiasm. "Ahem... I believe I know precisely the use for it..."
I take it it has the same dimensions as the red stone in the basement sconce?

Cealwyn Blackthorn

He almost flinches when the creature makes a grab, but wills himself to remain calm when the others don't copy their leader's motion.

Luther
Luther over-acts his appreciation for the gift, knowing that the Phanaton will understand his actions better than his words. He smiles broadly at the sphere, and gives out an appreicative Oooh! Very Nice!
The effect is as if he were dealing with a 5-year-old who just showed him their favorite 'treasure'.

Bonnie

I'm just really in character. :lol:

You can almost hear her eye rolls as Wes translates the conversation, but she keeps her mouth shut. She doesn't move, but the irony of her power over the situation is not lost on her.

Bonnie nods as Chwee presents an orb. She thinks to herself: At least I won't have to piss people off to get that one. She is a little disappointed that others now know about the phanaton orb, but quickly sees the greater good.

Wes

Wes smiles broadly when he sees the green stone. "That is indeed a wonderful, beautiful, gift Chwee. Please give our warmest thanks to your Great Leader!"

Wes reaches out to take the stone.

"My friends and I are glad that our work at the temple ended the threat to your people. We hope that our peoples can work even closer together in the future."

"Perhaps a good way to further this cooperation, someone from your tribe might like to travel with us in future? It might help them get even better at speaking our language.Though you are already doing very well."
Wes smiles and winks at Chwee. "What do you think?"

Grimm's eyes open wide when he sees the orb. He remains still though.

A Kingly Gift
Godsday, 23rd of Goodmonth
Late Morning, Sunny, Hot, Buggy


Each group member reacts to the sight of the green activation sphere in their own way, some more amusing than others. Wes takes the sphere from Chwee, determining that it is indeed the same size, weight, and feel as the one Chauncey used to activate the Fire Obelisk they just left. He can almost feel the magic from the stone pulsating in his hand.

The six phanaton guards continue sniffing the air, slowly edging closer and closer towards Bonnie. Chwee’s eyes light up as he continues to chatter with Wes.
“Our Great King mentioned something similar about our two peoples working together someday. Do you think…..you could choose……..me?” Wes hears one of the other phanaton speak to Chwee. “You can smell that too, right?”
