Kraken

 

Sea Witch

Sorceress: "Have you decided to give up your consort to me?"

Sorceress: Or do I loose the Kraken?

Sea Witch: Sea Witch: Never!

Savage Taurus: A dragon ain’t afraid of no kraken

Sorceress raises her staff and removes the stasis holding the Kraken

Sorceress: It creeps slowly towards the Mer Queen

Talia.Sunsong: So, I get treasure if I help the merfolk? Like really shiny treasure?

Fiesty Lotus very uncomfortable in her air bubble pulls out her staff

Savage Slithers Forward

Savage Taurus slithers forward through the water in a serpentine motion undulating with great speed

 and lets out a superheated burst of boiling water from his dragon maw

Fiesty Lotus: You may not bully the Mer Queen, Sorceress

Rorn: bounces around inside his air bubble, flipping as he tries to move

Sorceress replies testily: " And who are you to stop me?"

Rorn: squeals with delight as his father zips by and lets out a blast

Fiesty Lotus: We are the Druids of the spirit elements

Sorceress: "Indeed?"

The Sorceress

Fiesty Lotus: We uphold the good of the land

Talia.Sunsong: Spots a giant pearl in a clamshell

Sorceress: Ah, so that is why you rescued that Troll?

Fiesty Lotus: You may not trouble the good mer

Sorceress: I am merely seeking a replacement for him

Talia.Sunsong: Is this part of the treasure that we will get?

Fiesty Lotus sees the fae losing focus and hisses at her

Talia.Sunsong: looks at the hobbit, "What'd I do?"

Fiesty Lotus: Come fight Fae Talia

Talia.Sunsong: Sigh "If I have to in order to get treasure."

Fiesty Lotus aims her staff at the sorceress and releases a fire bolt

Fiesty Releases a Fire Bolt

Fiesty Lotus: The bolt misses narrowly but singes some of her hair

Sorceress: The sorceress spins her shield, deflecting most of the bolt

Savage Taurus lets out a roar his scalding blast hits the Kraken and then slithers away through  the

 water, darting here and there to avoid the Kraken's tentacles

Fiesty Lotus waves her staff around too much and staggers in the unstable bubble

Savage Taurus swoops in , dodging tentacles, for another blast of searing water at the Kraken, aiming for its mouth

Rorn: With a tiny battle cry, Rorn follows his father in an attack on the Kraken

Rorn Watches

Sorceress attempts to deflect the blast but fails

Savage Taurus slithers away like a serpent through the water and sees his boy too close to the maw of

 the beast and swims in to grab him

Fiesty Lotus flies in arms akimbo to grab Rorn

Sorceress fires a fireball at the intruders

Rorn squeaks as a tentacle hit him, sending him spinning towards the sharp teeth of the Kraken

The Kraken Almost Gets Rorn

Talia.Sunsong: "Rorn!!!"

Fiesty Lotus skirts the fire ball and grabs Rorn

Rorn hides in Fiesty's arms

Savage Taurus: as Fiesty grabs Rorn, he grabs his hobbit companion and then swims backward with great swiftness to get them both to safety

Fiesty Lotus: Ug Savage, stop wrenching my arm

Fiesty Lotus: Fiesty wiggles free of the dragon and turns to fight again

Savage Taurus: quickly deposits Fiesty and Rorn on a rock ledge and darts to the surface to fill his air

 bladder and swims back down

Talia.Sunsong: Pulls out her bent magic wand and flicks it at the evil sorceress. "Eat fish!". A school of

 minnows swim from her wand.

Talia Sends Schools of Fish Towards the Sorceress

Sorceress is momentarily distracted by the fish

Sorceress: But then turns back to the real combatants

Talia.Sunsong: "Look! Look! I actually did something"

Fiesty Lotus looks at the fish and sees an opportunity

Talia.Sunsong: "I am Fae, hear me roar!!!"

Fiesty Lotus: Fiesty make the fish grow bigger and bigger swarming the Kraken

Savage Taurus: as the Kraken is distracted by the fish, he sneaks in close breathes a blast of superheated

 boiling water into the kraken's gaping maw

The Kraken recoils and lets out a wounded bellow

Sorceress: and then runs away whimpering

Savage Taurus: gets battered by a tentacle and quickly retreats and slithers an orbit around the monster

Talia.Sunsong: "I AM DANGER FAE!!!!"

Talia.Sunsong: waves magic wand about

Sorceress calls to the wounded creature but it refuses to return

Talia.Sunsong: Wand misfires and breaks part of palace archway

Sorceress turns to face the interlopers

Savage Attacks the Kraken

Savage Taurus: lets out a barking laugh at the witch's humiliation

Sorceress raises her staff and readies more fireballs

Sorceress: But she slips on the slimy rock as she fires the first blast and it goes astray

Talia.Sunsong: "Nahhhh Nah, missed me!"

Sorceress steadies herself and raises her staff again for another shot

Fiesty Lotus lifts her staff and throws  a  boulder at the sorceress

Sorceress doges the boulder but slips again and is struck in the leg

Savage Taurus: decides to fight fire with...claws! ...swoops in and tries to grab the witch

Sorceress hardens her shield as the dragon attacks

Sorceress: But staggers back on her injured leg

Savage Taurus: misses and slithers away through the water and circles around

Talia.Sunsong: "Hey, she can make boulders! Why can't I do that?"

Sorceress: is leaning on her staff for support, she cannot use it

Talia.Sunsong: shakes her magic wand and pebbles come out

Sorceress throws all her strength into her shields

Savage Taurus: me dives down and attempts to pin her against the rock

Fiesty Lotus says to the group " she must be tiring. Why do we not all attack?

Savage Taurus: fails miserably and nearly knocks himself out

Talia.Sunsong: "Attack!!!!!"

Fiesty Lotus waves her staff but misses completely

Sorceress makes her shields rotate slowly to deflect any attacks, she hopes

Talia.Sunsong: points her bent magic wand at the evil sorceress. "Take this you cruddy Kraken creator!"

Sorceress secure in her shields just laughs at the fae

Fiesty Lotus subtly add her strength to whatever Talia is trying

Talia.Sunsong: the wand sputters, then roars to life sending a giant clam shell towards the sorceress"

Sorceress Stops the Giant Clam

Sorceress braces and raises her staff, stopping the shell in midair

Talia.Sunsong: The clam shell claps open and shut, open and shut

Talia.Sunsong: "Crush that sorceress"

Fiesty Lotus: put it closer

Talia.Sunsong: "Trap the evil one!"

Sorceress watches as the fortified clam starts to penetrate her shields.

Talia.Sunsong: "Go clam!!!"

Fiesty Lotus: So go you two

Savage Taurus: attempts to sneak behind the witch and grab her from behind while she is distracted

The Clam Penetrates the Shields

Sorceress: unable to keep it from penetrating her air shield, the sorceress raises her wand and disappears

Talia.Sunsong: "Where'd she go?"

Talia.Sunsong: "Do I still get my treasure?"

Savage Taurus: just as he goes to grab her, she evaporates within his arms

Talia.Sunsong: tries to pick up pearl the size of a seer's crystal ball. "I can have this as treasure, right?"

Savage Taurus: Yes, honey, I can put it in my castle's vault for you for safe keeping

Rorn swims around mer palace looking for treasure for his little hoard

The sea witch beams at them and says Talia may have the pearl

Savage Taurus: yes, make sure to gather up all the little goodies, son

Talia.Sunsong: "I'm rich, rich, rich!"

Sea Witch: "Thank you for rescuing my consort; that sorceress is evil."

Fiesty Lotus bows to the queen and goes up for some good air

Rorn grabs gemstones, coins and smaller pearls

Scarecrow pt. 3

 

The troll gardener looks sadly at his unbroken chains.

The troll gardener looks sadly at his unbroken chains.

Fiesty Lotus feels a little tired from all her tries with the troll.

Rorn stomps his foot in anger that the chains aren't broken.

Fiesty Lotus stares at the ground and then has it. "Oh, I will erode the component parts."

Saphira Mistwalker: “That sounds like a plan, they sure aren't affected by fire.”

Fiesty Lotus begins chanting a strong earth Spirit song.

Talia.Sunsong: "Are you hungry, troll?" She offers cooked scarecrow pumpkin head to the troll.

Savage.Taurus: “Oxidize that thing.”

Sorceress: The sorceress strides though the door and stares at them.

Savage.Taurus: “Where's a rusty monster when you need one?”

Saphira Mistwalker sees a motion and looks up. "Oh oh, looks like we have company."

Sorceress: “What do you think you are doing to my property?”

 

“What do you think you are doing to my property?”

Fiesty Lotus: After several minutes of throwing earth power Fiesty cries "I think it's workin!"

Savage.Taurus: smiles up at the woman, ."Hello, m'lady."

Saphira Mistwalker curtsies.

Sorceress: “Don't m'lady me; that is my troll slave you are trying to release.”

Saphira Mistwalker: “Greetings my lady. We were unaware anyone was here besides the troll.”
Fiesty Lotus does not hear the lady., she is too busy working on the chains.

Rorn flies up to level with the sorceress and stares at her.

Sorceress: “If you are determined to take the troll, one of you must stay in compensation.”

Fiesty Lotus finally looks up at the word “SLAVE” and scowls.

Talia.Sunsong: "You can have the scarecrow as compensation."

Saphira Mistwalker: “Hmm, would you consider a material payment instead?”

Savage.Taurus  : "That’s a lovely dress you are wearing. Enhances your assets stylishly."

The sorceress looks over the group.

Sorceress: “I doubt you have an adequate payment.”

Talia.Sunsong picks up the pole and half eaten scarecrow and offers it.

Sorceress: “That troll is worth millions to me.”

Sorceress: “I have some plans for him.”

Talia.Sunsong: "Really? Like a treasure hoard?"

Savage.Taurus  : "Would you be willing to exchange it for a slightly used dragon with a foot fetish?"

The sorceress levitates down to them.

Savage.Taurus smirks, "Nice trick."

Talia.Sunsong: "Ha! I levitate every day."

Talia.Sunsong looks at her wings.

Saphira Mistwalker stands up straight and looks the lady directly in the eyes. "I am Wanotreyxkaiv Ulhar Kethend Zhin persvek Bakmadai, Ambassador of the Shadow Dragon Clan. "You know not what resources we may have."

"You know not what resources we may have."

Fiesty Lotus grits her teeth.

The sorceress raises her eyebrows at the dragon's claim.

Talia.Sunsong: "Let's free the troll that is worth millions! He can stay near my place."

Sorceress: “Money will not replace the magic I can raise from his sacrifice.”

Savage.Taurus: “My name is much shorter. You can call me Sav.”

Talia.Sunsong: "Sacrifice? Like a virgin to a volcano?"

Sorceress: “What I had in mind is a bit more complex.”

Talia.Sunsong: The troll shudders as the sorceress mentions "sacrifice".

Saphira Mistwalker hisses. "What possible good would come from a troll sacrifice?"

Savage.Taurus: Is it a virgin troll?

Sorceress: “He is a living being of some age; a blood sacrifice will raise a lot of power.”

Talia.Sunsong: "Can't you just cut up a turnip or something for a sacrifice?"

 

"Can't you just cut up a turnip or something for a sacrifice?"

Fiesty Lotus: "Lady , I am Druid Fiesty Lotus. I ask in the name of decency what right do you have to own a slave?"

Savage.Taurus: “Honestly, with the way they look, I wouldn’t be surprised if all trolls were virgins.”

The sorceress looks at the hobbit: " Decency?"

Fiesty Lotus nods.

Rorn puffs out an angry puff of smoke as he hears the sorceress's words.

Sorceress: “Not part of my vocabulary.”

“Not part of my vocabulary.”

Savage.Taurus: “But I guess female trolls need love too.”

Savage.Taurus: “So, what is your name, sorceress?”

Sorceress looks at the silly male; “I do not give out my name.”

Saphira Mistwalker leans over to Savage and mutters in draconic, "Nomeno usjalil ui tlushtow ekess brane ve [This lady is beginning to annoy me]."

Savage.Taurus chuckles at Saph.

Rorn flies around the sorceress' head, while grumbling in dragon baby talk.

Fiesty Lotus looks alarmed at the young dragons’ antics.

Savage.Taurus: “It must get very lonely out here in the swamp. It that why you keep this poor troll? To keep you company?”

Savage.Taurus: “Have you no other companionship?”

Sorceress: “I need no companionship.”

Savage.Taurus: “Aww, everyone needs friends.”

Savage.Taurus: “When I was living alone in my mountain cave, I would visit the local dwarves once in a while. Ah that Gwendolina was spicy lass.”

Savage.Taurus: "Barmaid at the pub. Had a thing for dragons, if ya know what I mean.", winks and grins.

The sorceress tosses lightning in the direction of the annoying male.

 

The sorceress tosses lightning in the direction of the annoying male.

Talia.Sunsong  : "Uh oh, we're in trouble."

Savage.Taurus casually sidesteps the electric blast.

Saphira Mistwalker hisses at the display of power.

Savage.Taurus: “Now, now. Temper, temper.”

Savage.Taurus: “As they say, “Once you've gone dragon, you’ll be a bragging”.”

Saphira Mistwalker rolls her eyes. "Savage, you are not helping, unless you want her to electrocute you."

Rorn dodges lightning and flies to Talia.

Savage.Taurus  : si mi distracting jacioniv while wux shio winev ekik svabol ekess tir [I am distracting her while you all figure out what to do.]

Talia.Sunsong pulls out bent magic wand "I am Danger Fae, fear me!!!"

Savage.Taurus: “No doubt she is dangerous with that thing, mostly to herself...and us.”

Saphira Mistwalker unsheathes her daggers and drops into shadow. She runs forward and tries to slash at the sorceress.

Sorceress: The sorceress does not move, and nothing happens.

Fiesty Lotus wheels around and makes the ground beneath the sorceress shake.

Saphira Mistwalker slashes several times, then waits to see if there is an affect.

Saphira Mistwalker backs off as the ground shakes.

The sorceress staggers on the shaking ground.

The troll stumbles backwards. He grabs onto a nearby pole.

Talia.Sunsong: "It's working! Keep it up!"

Saphira Mistwalker: “Ah, that unbalanced her. Try again.”

Fiesty Lotus raises her staff high and says, " You shall not abuse the weak."

Savage.Taurus: “I can make your earth shake every night, m'lady.”

 

 “I can make your earth shake every night, m'lady.”

Talia.Sunsong: "I'll help. Now what shaking spells do I know?"

Fiesty Lotus calls upon a strong wind to blow at the sorceress.

The sorceress staggers again in the strong wind and seems powerless to evade it.

Rorn fills his little cheeks and blows at the sorceress.

Fiesty Lotus increases the wind which seems to only affect the sorceress.

Fiesty Lotus shouts “Strike Saphira!"

Saphira Mistwalker steps forward quickly and places one of her daggers to the sorceress' throat.

Talia.Sunsong racks her brain for what spells she knows and flounders around mentally.

Saphira Mistwalker: “What say you lady, do you yield, or do I bleed you?”

The sorceress disappears suddenly.

Talia.Sunsong: "Where she'd go?"

 

"Where she'd go?"

Saphira Mistwalker sighs. "Or the other option. Where is she?"

Savage.Taurus: “Aaand she's gone...that happens to me a lot.”

Sorceress: A disembodied voice calls out: " This does not end here."

Saphira Mistwalker frowns. "I was afraid of that. Quickly,  free the troll and let us be out of here."

Fiesty Lotus stops her onslaught and refocuses on setting the Troll free.

Talia.Sunsong: "Scaredy cat sorceress come out come out wherever you are!"

Savage.Taurus shouts out, "Call me up sometime. I live in the castle on the other side of the mountain."

Savage.Taurus: “If we could quickly free the troll, we wouldn’t have had to deal with her.”

Rorn looks proud as if he scared away the sorceress.

The chains finally collapse.

Rorn lands in Talia's arms and chatters how he scared the sorceress.

The troll's eyes light up.

Fiesty Lotus: "OK Sir - you are free. I recommend leavin a sight quickly."

Troll: "You save me...me a troll."

The troll gestures toward them. "You, my friends?"

Saphira Mistwalker: “You have a good heart troll; you do not deserve to suffer under the sorceress.”

Saphira Mistwalker: “But best you be off now, before she returns.”

Fiesty Lotus: “You are more than an ordinary Troll Dear. I will visit you soon in your garden. Beware that Sorceress."

 

“You are more than an ordinary Troll Dear."

Talia.Sunsong: "Are you worth millions troll? Can we have them?"

Savage.Taurus: “Ok, who wants a new troll slave?”

 

Scarecrow pt. 2

 

The scarecrow drifts downstream.

Fiesty Lotus windmills to the river trying for a foothold.

Talia.Sunsong  It catches on an old rotting fallen tree.

Fiesty Lotus: We see it and run to overtake it.

Talia.Sunsong:  Grumbling in its pumpkin head, the scarecrow uses its arms to pull itself to shore.

Saphira Mistwalker flies over the lands, wondering where her friends are. She cocks an ear toward the ground as she hears what sounds like Rorn.

Fiesty Lotus waves her staff and approaches, as she does so. she sees a swamp building nearby.

Rorn gives a baby roar at seeing the scarecrow.

Rorn flies towards the scarecrow in full baby dragon combat mode.

Saphira Mistwalker spies her friends in the swamp below and drops down to see what is happening.

Talia.Sunsong flies after Rorn.

Talia.Sunsong:  The scarecrow hops around on its one pole, spinning to face the dragons, fae and hobbit.

The scarecrow hops around on its one pole.

Saphira Mistwalker raises an eyebrow at the animated scarecrow.

Fiesty Lotus: Focusing on the scarecrow Fiesty send a light flame toward it. But in her rush, she misses.

Talia.Sunsong:  The scarecrow gives a rumbling growling in its pumpkin throat.

Rorn zooms towards the scarecrow, he shoots a small baby dragon flame at the wet scarecrow.

Talia.Sunsong:  The scarecrow laughs evilly.

Savage.Taurus  "fekiikiri Saphira. wer wieva xurwka vi scarecrow. confn demak wer diwhaf." [Greetings Saphira. The fairy made a scarecrow. Come join the fun.]

Talia.Sunsong:  The scarecrow swats at Rorn.

Fiesty Lotus readies herself to try again.

Saphira Mistwalker nods to Savage and moves closer, taking in a deep breath.

Talia.Sunsong  lands on the muddy shore, a few yards from the scarecrow. "Hey not hitting babies even if they are dragons."

Talia.Sunsong:  “No.”

Saphira Mistwalker breathes out fire on the scarecrow.

Saphira breaths out fire at the scarecrow.

Savage.Taurus  perches up on the balcony of this swamp house to watch the entertainment

Talia.Sunsong:  At first the wet scarecrow resists the flame.

Savage.Taurus finds Saphira's blue breath interesting.

Talia.Sunsong:  The scarecrow spins around and around trying to slap the female dragon.

Saphira Mistwalker frowns and moves back as steam rises from the scarecrow, but it does not burn.

Talia.Sunsong:  "GRRRRR," growls the scarecrow.

Saphira Mistwalker: “That's one tough scarecrow. I should have expected that with fae magic.”

Savage.Taurus:  “This wet swamp doesn’t help.”

Talia.Sunsong:  Scarecrow hops forward menacingly.

Fiesty Lotus chants to the wind spirit to dry the scarecrow.

Saphira Mistwalker nods. "My fire is usually more effective. This is going to take some work."

Talia.Sunsong  "Oh so it's my fault a magic scarecrow is running around? Well, maybe it is"

"Oh, is it my fault?"

Savage.Taurus  grins and enjoys the chaos

Fiesty Lotus: While chanting Fiesty notices a figure under the swamp cabin.

Rorn dive bombs the scarecrow then gets caught in Fiesty's wind. Rorn is jerked sideways into the water.

Saphira Mistwalker rolls her eyes. "Fae, magic .... of course it’s your fault!"

Saphira Mistwalker: “Rorn! Are you OK?”

Talia.Sunsong  "Fine! It's always MY fault, so THERE!"

Rorn walks out of the river, dripping water off his iridescent scales.

Fiesty Lotus: Fiesty brings on a dry hot wind. “Spirit, dry that monster!”

Saphira Mistwalker sighs relief and moves forward again to try to ignite the scarecrow.

Talia.Sunsong:  Scarecrow tries to ram the dragon with his pumpkin head.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Ack!”

Savage.Taurus:  “Fiesty, can your spirits wash and dry my laundry at home as well?”

Saphira Mistwalker: “It's a nasty little creation.”

Talia.Sunsong:  The fire hits the scarecrow's head, and the smell of cooking pumpkin erupts.

Talia.Sunsong  "Mmmmm I want pumpkin pie"

Fiesty Lotus: “Lady Saphira, are you alright?”

Saphira Mistwalker: :Aye, but I'm about out of fire.”

Talia.Sunsong:  The top half of the scarecrow's pumpkin head sinks in.

Savage.Taurus:  “Mmm, smells like pumpkin pie.”

Talia.Sunsong:  The pumpkin looks upwards "Huh?"

Rorn flies to the top of the scarecrow's head and takes a bite.

Talia.Sunsong:  The scarecrow roars and swats at Rorn.

Saphira Mistwalker: “I think Rorn has the right idea ... dinner time!”

Saphira Mistwalker: : “That's it, roast him!”

Talia.Sunsong:  Rorn spits out baby dragon flames. The now dry scarecrow starts to heat up.

Rorn spits out baby dragon flames.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Coce jacion Rorn! [Cook him Rorn!]”

Fiesty Lotus: While the scarecrow slowly gets incinerated, Fiesty spies that troll under the house and realizes it is chained.

Talia.Sunsong:  The scarecrow groans and collapses, its head splitting open.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Good job!”

Rorn lands by the scarecrow and dances around in triumph, then scoops out some cooked pumpkin to eat.

Savage.Taurus  “Pumpkin brains for dinner.”

Fiesty Lotus smiles but then notices that the Troll is gardener Troll!

Fiesty notices the troll is Gardener Troll.

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh my, It's Gardener troll!”

Talia.Sunsong  helps herself to some cooked pumpkin, then wanders after Fiesty.

Saphira Mistwalker sees the troll under the deck of the building and joins Fiesty and Talia.

Fiesty Lotus hurries up to the Troll and speaks to it.

Talia.Sunsong  "Hey Troll!"

"Hey Troll."

Talia.Sunsong  Notices the troll has plants in his hand. "Is that salad to go with our pumpkin?"

Fiesty Lotus: “Gardener Troll, what are you doing here. And why are you in chains?”

Savage.Taurus:  “Never tried pumpkin salad before.”

Saphira Mistwalker eyes the troll closely. "He does not seem to be the usual ugly brute many trolls are."

Fiesty Lotus: Oh no, he is a splendid Troll. Perhaps he is under a spell.

Fiesty Lotus holds out her hand and concentrates.

Gardener Troll pulls on his chains and looks sadly at the hobbit

Fiesty Lotus: “Dear Troll , who has done this to you?”

Gardener Troll holds out his dandelion plants as an offering to the guests

Saphira Mistwalker moves over closer. "Oh my, he is chained!"

Fiesty Lotus: “Can you speak?”

Gardener Troll looks upwards, to the house above him and fear crosses his face.

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh dear. Is there someone inside?”

Gardener Troll whispers "She may be near."

Gardener Troll: A shiver runs over him.

A shiver runs over him.

Saphira Mistwalker frowns. "Who, who did this to you?"

Gardener Troll whispers "The sorceress."

Gardener Troll shifts his feet and the chains rattle

Fiesty Lotus goes forward and tries to loosen the chains.

Gardener Troll: A magic electrical force from the chains sends out a shock.

Fiesty Lotus: Ouch!

Fiesty Lotus: “They are ensorcelled. They will not give.”

Saphira Mistwalker: “I could try to cut them with my blades, they are resistant to most magic.”

Talia.Sunsong:  Rorn lands by the troll and sighs.

Talia.Sunsong  "Poor troll, you can't go out to get food or shinies!"

Saphira Mistwalker kneels and hacks at the chains, drawing sparks but little else.

Saphira Mistwalker hisses in frustration. "I cannot cut the chains either."

Talia.Sunsong:  Rorn tries to grab the chain with his teeth but jumps back in shock.

Talia.Sunsong  digs around for her bent magic wand.

Talia.Sunsong  "There's nothing to fear, danger Fae is here!"

Savage.Taurus chuckles.

Fiesty Lotus jumps back out of the way.

Talia.Sunsong  waves her wand around, sparks gather around the tip, then consolidate into a magic beam at the chains.

Saphira Mistwalker hisses surprise and quickly backs away from the fae magic.

Talia.Sunsong:  The magic beam bounces off the chain and slams into Talia, throwing her backwards.

Savage.Taurus  isn’t entirely sure they should be trusting that wand to do that job, but doesn't care enough to speak up

Talia.Sunsong falls into a pile of cattails.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Lady Talia, are you all right?”

Talia.Sunsong  pulls a cattail out of her hair. "I can't break that chain!"

"I can't break that chain!"

Talia.Sunsong  "Now what do we do?"

Saphira Mistwalker: “We need to think this through, nothing we have done seems to work.”

Scarecrow

Rorn bounds out of the Fae mushroom house
Rorn stops to stare at the pumpkins in the garden outside
Savage.Taurus: “Hey son. You know these orange gourds are useful for scaring the humans.”

"Son, those gourds are useful for scaring humans."

Talia.Sunsong: "Oh the pumpkins have grown so big"

Talia.Sunsong: "Scare!" Rorn looks eagerly at Savage.”
Savage.Taurus: “They are so superstitious. You just have to carve scary faces in them and then watch the silly humans go nuts.”
Fiesty Lotus sees Rorn with that cute baby grin.

Talia.Sunsong: “Oooo lets carve a pumpkin so Fiesty can cook a pie with the insides.”
Savage.Taurus: “You can use your claw like this...”

"You can use your claw like this..."

Fiesty Lotus: “Ahh, that would be nice I think.”

Savage.Taurus transforms just his hand in to a dragon claw and starts carving holes in the pumpkin.
Talia.Sunsong: “You get to cook, I get to eat, Savage gets to teach and Rorn gets to scare. It's a win-win situation.”
Savage.Taurus makes a scary face in the large round gourd.
Talia.Sunsong: “No, a win-win-win-win situation.”
Fiesty Lotus smiles.
Savage.Taurus opens up the top and dumps out the pulp.
Rorn tries to imitate Savage. He digs his smaller claws into a pumpkin.
Savage.Taurus: “That’s right. Good job, son.”
Rorn claws rake clumsily over the surface of the pumpkin.
Savage.Taurus: “When the humans see these, they run for the hills, leaving their valuables behind for easy picking.”
Savage.Taurus “Great way to increase your hoard.”
Rorn: "Shinies? "
Savage.Taurus: “Mmmm. Yes.”
Talia.Sunsongs ears perk up at the word "shinies.
Rorn: "Shines ! Shinies! SHINIES!"
Savage.Taurus sits back to admire his work and then starts on another one.
Rorn digs faster into the pumpkin
Savage.Taurus: “That’s it. You got it. Make the face as frightening as possible.”
Talia.Sunsong: "You do need a bigger treasure hoard to sleep on Rorn. You are growing."
Savage.Taurus: “Those dumb humans will jump at their own shadow.”
Fiesty Lotus watches, bemused.
Rorn digs a face into the pumpkin that looks like a lopsided grin
Savage.Taurus “Hey Nanny. You can help out too, if you want.”
Talia.Sunsong "Work?"
Savage.Taurus chuckles.
Fiesty Lotus giggles.
Talia.Sunsong: "I'm a fae. I use magic to work." Talia roots through her satchel for her magic wand.
Savage.Taurus steps back, not trusting the fae with her wand.
Fiesty Lotus looks on with  trepidation.
Talia.Sunsong: "Aha. Here it is!" Talia pulls out her bent magic wand.”
Savage.Taurus: “Uh, Rorn, you might want to get out of the way.”
Fiesty Lotus backs up.
Savage.Taurus: “Don't need her turning you into a parakeet.”
Talia.Sunsong: "Put the pumpkin head on the scarecrow body."
Savage.Taurus: “Oh now that’s a good idea.”
Savage.Taurus: “That'll really scare those idiot humans.”
Fiesty Lotus just keeps looking nervously at Talia's bent wand.
Talia.Sunsong: "I'm really good at this now!"
Talia.Sunsong: "Now how did that spell go?"
Savage.Taurus: “Um, if you say so....”
Fiesty Lotus cries "Spell? You know a spell?"
Talia.Sunsong: "For our treasure hoard to survive, Pumpkinhead scarecrow come ALIVE!"

"Scarecrow, come alive!"

Savage.Taurus steps back and looks apprehensive.
Talia.Sunsong points her wand at the scarecrow. The wand vibrates then explodes at the tip.
Fiesty Lotus watches as the wand glows and seems to vibrate.
A shower of sparks falls on the pumpkin head.
Fiesty Lotus covers her eyes.
The eyes of the pumpkin head blink
An evil smile comes over the crooked face of the head.
Fiesty Lotus peeks through her fingers and groans.

The pumpkinhead scarecrow cackles with laughter.
Fiesty Lotus: “Noooo Talia. What have you done?”
Talia.Sunsong: "See I did it!"
Savage.Taurus “You did. Something....”
Talia points at the scarecrow with her wand. It bats away the wand, knocking it out of Talia's hand.
Talia.Sunsong: "Hey, you big orange bully!"

"Hey you big bully."

Fiesty Lotus: Don't you remember the dancing brooms that got so out of hand?
Savage.Taurus: “Hmmmm.”
Savage.Taurus: “Hey, scarecrow! Go to the human village and scare them.”
Fiesty Lotus: “Oh no.”
Fiesty Lotus grabs her staff.
The scarecrow hops on its one pole and spins.
Fiesty Lotus: “Savage, you don't want to loose this on some poor humans.”
Savage.Taurus shrugs, "Why not?"
Laughing with glee, the scarecrow starts hopping away.
Talia.Sunsong: "Uh oh, did I do bad?"
Rorn chases after the scarecrow.
Savage.Taurus: “I think you did just fine, sweetie.”
Fiesty Lotus: “Because it' not right. They should be allowed to live quietly.”
Rorn tries to grab the scarecrow's pole with his teeth.
Savage.Taurus sighs and rolls his eyes at the hobbit.
Fiesty Lotus gives chase, her staff in hand.
Savage.Taurus follows along in amusement
Talia.Sunsong: flies after them. "What do we do?"
Fiesty Lotus: “We must stop it. It could hurt someone.”
Savage.Taurus: “Ok Druid. Do your druidy thing.”
Talia.Sunsong: "Ummm, wand do what it must to make the scarecrow bust." Talia points her bent magic wand. A few sparks fly out, creating a trench.
Fiesty Lotus lets out a wind gust with her staff.
Fiesty Lotus: “I will see if I can knock it down.”
The wind slams into the scarecrow. The scarecrow screams as it falls into the trench, then begins to slide downhill.

"I will see if I can knock it down."

Fiesty Lotus runs and tries to blow it down.

Savage.Taurus watches as the scarecrow tumbles into the river and floats downstream.
Fiesty Lotus: “Oh dear, now what?”
Talia.Sunsong "We'll teach you a lesson squash head!"
Talia.Sunsong looks over the riverbank. "Hey, the scarecrow floats."
Talia.Sunsong: Cursing, the scarecrow flails its straw arms as the currents pull it down the river.
Fiesty Lotus hurries after it.

Savage.Taurus: sighs again and turns into dragon form and flies after the scarecrow.

 

 

 

Rorn and the Hobbits

 

Maisie looks at the party that have arrived and sees some new people. The Fae with the little dragon.

Talia.Sunsong: “Now that we have freed you Hobbits, can you cook food for me?”

Can you cook for me?

Fitheach Eun: “Quel re, everyone.”

Fitheach Eun:  “How are you all doing?”

Talia.Sunsong: “I'm hungry.”

Talia.Sunsong eyes the cauldron

Fitheach Eun lifts her eyebrow; "You are always hungry."

Fiesty Lotus looks sternly at the Fae. “Do not be rude Talia."

Rorn: scans the sweet Hobbit land, smelling the cooking and seeing a glint of silver.

Talia.Sunsong  : "It's not rude. Fair is fair. We saved them. I want my reward. Food."

Saphira Mistwalker rolls her eyes. "Sia, wiekr sone agmasaon lae kiarf lae rauhissi. [My, fae eat almost as much as hobbits]"

Fitheach Eun stifles a smile.

Copper Lotus: “We have enough I think to offer you some of our stew.”

Hobbits offer stew.

Rorn notices the shiny silver soup spoon.

Saphira Mistwalker:  “How are the new arrivals doing? Getting settled?”

Talia.Sunsong  : "Stew, yum!"

Copper Lotus: “These good people have given us a place to stay and food.”

Fitheach Eun smiles at Copper. " Pay no attention to the fae; she is always in need of food."

Fitheach Eun: “Or thinks she is.”

Rorn leaps off Talia's arm.

Rorn circles the Hobbit's camp.

Maisie Goes and gets bowls to fill with stew.

Maisie goes to get bowls.

Maisie: “We have bread also.”

Rorn: starting high in the air, then coming lower as he sees Maisie pick up a shiny soup spoon to ladle soup.

Savage Taurus: calmly eats stew and smokes his pipe.

Rorn swoops down and tries to snatch the soup spoon out of Maisie's hand.

Saphira Mistwalker watches the small dragon with a smile on her face, "Rorn, svabol re wux tirir? [Rorn, what are you doing?]"

Rorn: "Treasure!"

Fitheach Eun: “Uh oh....”

Saphira Mistwalker tries to hide a grin.

Talia.Sunsong : "Rorn, stop! I won't get soup."

Maisie recoils as the dragon swoops and grabs the spoon.

Rorn: "Mine mine mine mine." Rorn clutches tightly to the soup spoon.

Saphira Mistwalker laughs, "Oh my Talia, you may not get any stew."

Savage Taurus is proud that his boy is finally speaking.

Talia.Sunsong : "Give me that spoon!" flies into the air and chases Rorn.

Give me that spoon!

Rorn spots a necklace around the neck of a local Hobbit.

Fitheach Eun sighs and shakes her head.

Rorn dives towards the unsuspecting Hobbit.

Rorn reaches out with one claw to grab the necklace off the Hobbit.

Rorn grabs the necklace.

A hobbit cries out. “Oh dear!”

Saphira Mistwalker looks over at Savage, "Tepoha wux coanwor ankuir dout deevdru? [Have you been teaching your son?]"

Rorn: "Treasure, treasure, treasure."

Savage Taurus looks at Saph, shrugs and smiles.

Savage shrugs.

Rorn grabs the necklace and tugs.

Fiesty Lotus: “Talia dear , please get Rorn under control.”

Talia.Sunsong flies rapidly behind Rorn but is unable to stop in time when Rorn stops to grab the necklace.

Fiesty Lotus notices that the Hobbit is nearly desperate.

Talia.Sunsong: "Eeeeek!". bowls into Rorn and Maisie.

Fitheach Eun: “He needs discipline.”

Talia.Sunsong tumbles end over end through the flower bed.

Saphira Mistwalker quickly digs in her pouch and holds up a gold coin. "Rorn, you'd like this much more for your hoard."

Rorn spins in midair from the impact.

Rorn spins in midair.

Rorn slows his spin, shakes his dizzy head. His eyes alight on the gold coin.

Saphira Mistwalker smiles and twirls the coin, then tosses it into the air.

Saphira tosses a coin into the air.

Rorn drops the spoon and gives up on stealing the necklace. Rorn dives for the coin as it flips in the air.

The hobbit takes off her crystal necklace  and stashes in her pocket.

Fiesty Lotus:” Ahh Ambassador- You saved the day."

Saphira Mistwalker smiles. "Well, we just saved all these poor hobbits, we can't be letting them lose what little they have."

Rorn snatches the gold coin in his little hands "Mine mine, mine, mine."

Talia.Sunsong  crawls out of the flower bed she tumbled through, petals and dirt on her.

Fitheach Eun: “Thank you, Ambassador.”

Saphira Mistwalker: “My pleasure.”

Talia.Sunsong picks up soup spoon and holds it out to Maisie. "Stew?"

Fitheach Eun: “I think we should go and let the hobbits eat in peace, Talia.”

Talia.Sunsong sighs "No food?"

Fitheach Eun nods, "No food!"

Talia.Sunsong  : "Noooooooooo!"

No Food?

Talia.Sunsong  grabs stomach like she is starving.

Fiesty Lotus: “I have some roast goose in the pantry on the airship. We can sup on that with carrots and peas.”

Talia.Sunsong  : "Mmmm goose? with cranberry sauce"

Fiesty Lotus: Well, I will try to do an acceptable fruit .

Fiesty Lotus grins.

Copper Lotus: “Yes, we did grab a bit of crystal when we left. I am sure we can parley with folks around here for food and supplies.”

Fitheach Eun: "Hmmm, we need to discuss that, Copper. We are often in need of crystals."

Fitheach Eun: "Perhaps we can work out some trades?"

Copper Lotus: “Ah, yes? That would be interesting to hear.”

Fitheach Eun: "We will discuss it and come back with a proposal."

We will dicuss it.

Talia.Sunsong  : "I'm not interested in a marriage proposal."

Saphira Mistwalker: “Just keep the crystals under cover, I am afraid Rorn will take an eye and a claw to them.”

Talia.Sunsong: "Baby dragons need to make a treasure hoard. It's just natural."

Fitheach Eun rolls her eyes.

Fiesty Lotus nods.

Saphira Mistwalker: “Oh, I agree, but they need to be judicious about it.”

Saphira Mistwalker grins. "I had a ... bite to eat ... earlier. You folks enjoy, and we will leave the hobbits to their own dinner."
