The Rowdy Rockfish

[Rex]

Khawla

Khawla will visit the shrine/temple of Sarenrae and pray.

[Darklin2]

Allean

I am off to the forest to gather herbs and look for a better limb to craft a Composite Long Bow. i have been working on a Long Bow but not sure it is strong enough for what I want. And I have a list of herbs for the brewery that they will pay well for. She turns around to the crowd.

I wouldn't be opposed to some company if anyone is up for the stroll through the woods. She then gathers her last bit or biscuits and cheese and wraps it in a cloth for the trip.

[ateno]

"I will head to the market and Wrins for selling and supplying. If your looking for Herbs and vines I could use some of the following... Tuga gives a small list of medicial herbs for this kit.

Tuga will get directions to the market and head there with the three traps and bag of anything else over his shoulder.

GM, Please read and respond to OOG please.

Tuga

[Computer +1]

Tumbler has very little money and he knows it. His body feels much better from the healing but his spirit has taken some knocks. He isn't really sure which way to head so he instead starts looking for any markers of the Thieves Guild. He may be able to get something through back channels.

[hedgeknight]

So, right now, we have the following:

Khawla - headed to the temple
Allean - headed to the forest to forage; anyone going with her?
Tuga - headed to the market and Wrin's
Tumbler - going to look for a thieves guild if there is one in town

Elwood?
Gurkan?

[Belkregos]

Gurkan
guess we can meet back here at the end of the day and be ready early tomorrow to finish what we started at the fishery...

he nods gets ready to walk out as he hears Allen is heading out to the Forest

Allean

i'll take you up on that, after the time in the caves, getting back in the woods sounds like what Lulu needs

A Day Out and About

Dawnflower Library (15)
Khawla leaves the Rockfish and walks down the road leading to the library/temple of Sarenrae. She is greeted by an acolyte at the door and escorted into a side conference room with high ceilings and the musty smell of books. A small fire burns in a small fireplace; there are no books or other flammable materials within 10 feet of it.
After a few minutes the acolyte returns with a tray upon which sits a small tea pot (steaming at the mouth), two plain cups and a tiny plate of cookies. Coming in behind her is Vandy Banderdash, whom Khawla has met before.
"Well now, back so soon? How are ya, deary?" asks the cheery Halfling, taking a the teapot and pouring two cups of dark tea. She hands one to Khawla, takes a cookie, and sits in a chair closest to the fireplace. "What brings you to the Dawnflower this fine morning?"

Otari Market (11)
Tuga ventures out of the Rockfish and heads north along the main road through town. He passes a lot of folks out and about who give me a nod and a "Good morn" as he walks. He crosses a bridge over the Osprey River and into a large open area strewn about with stalls, tents, and carts; all open for business and some already having patrons. Near the open market is a log-cabin with a sign that simply reads: Trading Post. Out in the open-air market, Tuga sees a cart with all sorts of colorful scarfs and hats, a tent with flaps open and music coming from within, a mule and wagon with various pieces of armor displayed, and a man hawking "boots and shoes as fine as you'll find in Absalom!"

Crook's Nook (10)
Sore and still somewhat tired, Tumbler walks out of the Rockfish and heads north, following the same road Tuga took a minute or two earlier. He is no more out of the bed and breakfast when he spies a large wooden structure spanning the Osprey River. There is no sign over the open door, but Tumbler can see straight through the building to the opposite side. It appears to be a 2-story bridge over the river. Hearing clinking sounds from within and voices, Tumbler walks over to the door and peers inside.
There is a large bar and a common room with tables and chairs and a fireplace which is being tended by a man wearing an apron. Leaning against the bar is a human woman looking as if she just rolled out of bed. Spying Tumbler looking in, she stifles a yawn with one hand and beckons him forward with the other.
"Early for a drink, isn't it?" she says, her voice somewhat still husky from sleep. She reaches for a foaming mug off the bar and takes a big gulp.

"Well luckily these shakes the 3 three traps "did not pierce the leather or I would but a pair, Thank Yee I will let my friends know that your here. Walks over and looks at the wares. "Do you know anyone that might be in the market for there? Used only once! Har Har.

Tuga would like to look at the scarfs and hats and ask the same question, and maybe buy a hat if three is something that fits him and fits his style.

If all else fails he will head into the 'Trading Post'

Elwood sleeps in since he hasn't had much luck finding his "bounty" the dwarf is taking a day off to rest and relax. Maybe when he has a meal he will go down to the docks and see if he can go fishing. Elwood didn't see any post notifications and didn't know there was a new topic so my bad.

Into the Woods

When asking about the shortest way to the woods, Allean and Gurkan are told to take the road to the Dawnflower Library and then take the trail through the church cemetery to the woods. And so they do. They are only a few minutes behind Khawla and find the library to be quiet with few attendants this morning.
When they say they are just passing through on the way to the woods, an acolyte leads them to the door which offers access to the outside cemetery. The acolyte gives a few nervous glances at Lulu, but doesn't really speak about her nervousness around the creature. Once outside, Allean and Gurkan take the meandering path through the cemetery and eventually find themselves on the ridge above the town. They follow the trail and come to a fork in the road. Seeing the forest ahead, they take the left path and this leads them to a rather odd site: a large ring of standing stones, nearly 12' high, stand like sentinels around the shores of a shallow pond (3 on the map).
A bent old woman, quite short and somewhat disheveled, is prodding the ground around one of the standing stones. "Come to pay respects, have ya?" she calls over her shoulder, not turning to even look at you. "Approach if ya will. I ain't gonna bite ya!" she says, cackling with laughter.

Alle

Alle walks quietly enjoying the outdoors watching animals and clouds drift by as they make their way into the forest. Following the left path she enjoys exploring a new area of her new found home.

We have come to gather herbs and enjoy the beauty of nature. I am a healer and I need some herbs to help the injured. What is this place? Do you tend this grove? Are you a healer?

Tuga - "Well luckily these shakes the 3 three traps "did not pierce the leather or I would but a pair, Thank Yee I will let my friends know that your here. Walks over and looks at the wares. "Do you know anyone that might be in the market for there? Used only once! Har Har.

The merchant chuckles and bows his head slightly, appreciating the Gnome's humor. "My good fellow, those traps will be something to catch the eye of the market's owner, Keeleno. He's always in the market for traps, especially what may be considered 'wolf' traps. You may not know this, but wolves killed his wife years ago and he's always looking for pelts or ways to get them. Best not mention his wife, though. He's a fiery one."

Tuga thanks the merchant and wanders over to look at the scarfs and hats. The person selling these smiles and nods at him as he approaches.

"Good morn to you, my friend. Need you a hat or scarf? All are hand sewn and blessed so as to never fray or tear. I am Ifan Terro, at your service."


Sitting by the dock of the bay...

Rising a bit later and have a long breakfast, Elwood decides not to hurry about today or visit any of the various shops and venues in town. Instead, he decides to go fishing. Leaving the Rockfish, he walks down to the edge of the river where it empties into the bay. He can see the docks where only a few ships are moored. The docks are not very busy, but one ship is unloading cargo and the dock hands are fussing about the work; rolling barrels down a boarding plank isn't for the faint of heart!
(I'm assuming Elwood has fishing gear, right?)

Casting his line into the mouth of the river, he allows it to sink, then finds a nice rock to sit on. Surprisingly, he feels a slight tug on the line, followed by a harder pull. He jerks his pole upward and soon finds himself battling, what feels like, a big fish! For about five minutes, Elwood fights the fish, eventually wearing it out. He is able to bring it to the surface and smiles when he sees the size and color of a beautiful speckled trout! Nearly as long as his arm, the trout is a true fisherman's prize and when he hoists it up to get a good look, he hears a voice behind him say, "Now, that's a fish! How much you want for it?"
Elwood turns to see his benefactor, Brelda, looking down on him. She smiles with her sad eyes and waves.

[Belkregos]

Gurkan nods
just wanted to pass a nice day out here with Lulu ( he give his raptor companion a playful bear hug)

[GreyWolfVT]

Elwood from what i can see on his sheet no does not and would have to purchase gear. looks at Brelda and smiles "Dunno, was kind figrin' I'd eat it meself. What's yer offer?"

Hello, a full billed leather hat, in my size? Could I see anything like that?

Tuga looks at the selection

"I suppose that Keeleno, is in that building.

Khawla

"Thanks for the tea. I was wondering if you know anything of the area under the town? It seems it must have been built on the ruins of something else perhaps?"

"Early for a drink, isn't it?" she says, her voice somewhat still husky from sleep. She reaches for a foaming mug off the bar and takes a big gulp.

Tumbler chuckles and starts the dance. He isn't sure about the exact slang here in town but he tries anyway, Never too early fer' a beer. Me, I'm all charm, drink just helps me talents shine through.. He looks around the room in a casual way. I'm in town for some iron, was hoping to see the Blacksmith named Prince. You know em.?

Translations-
charm = lock pick
Iron = money
Prince = head of the local thieves

Into the Woods...

While Gurkan is hugging his lizard...Alle speaks with the old woman.

We have come to gather herbs and enjoy the beauty of nature. I am a healer and I need some herbs to help the injured. What is this place? Do you tend this grove? Are you a healer?
The older woman chuckles, and shakes all over, saying, "Well, this here place is Stone Ring Pond...not a very mystical name, mind you, but it will suffice. And yes, I'm its caretaker you could say. I am Worliwynn, but most folk just call me Wynn. I've been known to offer a poultice or two, or brew a tea for ailments. Why are you and your man...and your, erm, lizard, here my dear?"


Sitting by the dock of the bay...

Elwood looks at Brelda and smiles "Dunno, was kind figrin' I'd eat it meself. What's yer offer?"
Brelda crosses her arms, not in frustration or anger, but rather out of habit. "Well, since you are using my fishing pole, technically, half of that fish belongs to me." She smiles again, looking tired and frayed. "Maybe if you catch a couple more, we can have us a nice lunch."
She blushes slightly, but maybe it's just the cold wind off the river.


Otari Market...

Tuga - Hello, a full billed leather hat, in my size? Could I see anything like that?
Terro nods and shows Tuga three nice leather hats "This one is made of tanned deer leather, while this one is made from beaver. It will keep your head very warm in the winter. And this one is all the way from the highlands of Ustalav." The third cap is of a leather so black it has a bluish sheen.

"I suppose that Keeleno, is in that building." Tugo says as he looks at the selection.
"Ah yes, he rarely leaves except to go hunting."


Dawnflower Library...

Khawla - "Thanks for the tea. I was wondering if you know anything of the area under the town? It seems it must have been built on the ruins of something else perhaps?"
Vandy blows on her cup and sips and says, "I can't say that I do, but I suspect there are some old sea caves underneath this town. Most of Absalom is riddled with 'em. Been delving in them I suspect, yes? Find anything useful? Any old relics or religious antiquities?"


Crook's Nook...

Tumbler chuckles and starts the dance. He isn't sure about the exact slang here in town but he tries anyway, Never too early fer' a beer. Me, I'm all charm, drink just helps me talents shine through.. He looks around the room in a casual way. I'm in town for some iron, was hoping to see the Blacksmith named Prince. You know em.?

The woman smiles slightly and takes another sip of beer. "Indeed, I know the Princess like the back of my hand." She raises her hand and looks at it, then moves her fingers in a way Tumbler has seen before. "She is always searching for new shipments of iron, which can be hard to come by in such a small port."
She takes another long pull from her mug, draining it, and sits it down on the counter...and belches loud enough to wake the dead! "Ah! That's damn good beer. I can take you to the Princess, if you like."

Tumbler -

Her hand signal > "The walls have ears."

[Rex]

Khawla

"Some sort of old temple I think."

She will describe what they found with as much detail as possible.

"Ah yes, he rarely leaves except to go hunting."

"I'll take the black one, what do you want for it?

After he pays for it and puts it on.. "Thank you, I'll go see Keeleno.
Tuga goes to the door and knocks.
