Naga

Talia Sunsong: "Darn brooms made a mess of everything." Talia sweeps angrily, causing dust to fly.

Darn Brooms

Fiesty Lotus: “Well, Druid Fit. We gotta figure a way to get Savage back.”

Fitheach.Eun : “Yes we do." sigh.

Talia Sunsong accidentally on purpose swats Savage's sheep behind.

Fitheach Eun : “Talia do not even consider magical help.”

Savage.Taurus  bleats plaintively at the fae.

Talia Sunsong: "I'm magical, and I'm helping."

Fiesty Lotus : “There might some herbs outside. I thought I saw some comfrey and a few things out there that might help.”

Fitheach Eun : “Let's go have a look and leave Talia to her cleaning.”

Talia Sunsong: "Just leave Savage as a sheep, that way we can get wool from him."

Savage.Taurus runs away from the fae, deciding she is dangerous.

Fiesty Lotus waves her hand at the dust and agrees.

Savage Taurus  follows the elf and hobbit out the door.

Talia Sunsong grumbles and keeps sweeping.

Fitheach Eun : ” I think I saw some wormwood by those rocks; I'll go have a look.”

Savage Taurus feels an overwhelming urge to eat grass, a sensation that is completely foreign to him.

Talia Sunsong nears a stack of fallen books, a page flutters open. The page has a picture of a dragon on it. "Look Rorn, a magic spell for shapeshifting into a dragon!"

Talia Sunsong drops the broom with a clatter and picks up the book.

Talia picks up a book

Savage.Taurus  starts to eat the grass without even realizing it and stops.

Talia Sunsong runs her finger along the page as she reads. "Mix together eye of newt, blood of a dragon..." looks at Rorn, who cringes.

Savage Taurus  can’t help himself and starts to eat the grass again, feeling shame and disgusted with himself....a dragon eating grass

Talia Sunsong: "Come on Rorn, it's just a little prick of your finger for the blood."

Rorn squeaks and flies to the top of a bookcase.

Talia Sunsong: "Well," She looks around, "maybe this cabinet has the ingredients. I can substitute something else for dragon blood."

Savage Taurus hears the squeak of his son in the distance.

Savage Taurus rushes back inside to see what’s going on.

Fiesty Lotus: “Ahh, there’s that swallow-wart.”

Talia Sunsong rummages through the cabinet, carrying out old dusty jars filled with strange dried up substances.

Savage Taurus bleats angrily at the fae, trying to look menacing despite his wooly form

Talia.Sunsong: "Savage! I think I have a solution. You want to be a dragon, right? And you can pay me to change you back with shiny coins, Right?"

Savage Taurus eyes the fae warily.

Savage Taurus gives her one more warning BAHAHAH and goes back outside.

Talia Sunsong: "Hmmm, I'll show him. I'll make the dragon shapeshifting potion, then he can pay me in cream and shiny coins."

Savage Taurus follows the elf and hobbit around, sniffing at the plants they are gathering.

The Druids searching for herbs

Fitheach Eun looks for wormwood among the rocks.

Fitheach Eun: “Fiesty, did you find that comfrey yet?”

Talia Sunsong dumps an armful of ingredients on the table.

Savage Taurus sniffs at the elf's feet and starts chewing on whatever it is she is gathering.

Talia.Sunsong "Now according to this recipe it needs eye of newt." She wipes dust off a jar and reads "eye of newt."

Eye of Newt

Fiesty Lotus: “Oh yes, got that and a few other  things -There be some nice mushrooms about.”

Fitheach Eun: “Ah, great.”

Talia Sunsong pours Eye of Newt into the cauldron.

Fitheach Eun: “Some betony might be handy.”

Talia Sunsong adds "toad's tongue" to the mix.

Savage Taurus spits out the bitter root and bleats loudly at the elf, trying to get the taste out of his mouth.

Talia Sunsong: "Now for the dragon's blood.”  She looks towards Rorn, who is still perched on the bookcase.

Talia.Sunsong: "Come on Rorn, just a little blood.”  Rorn rapidly shakes his head.

Fitheach Eun looks at the sheep with amusement: " It's not supposed to taste good ."

Savage Taurus decides that following the elf and hobbit around was not a good idea after all.

Talia Sunsong peers at the jars. One had a picture of a reptilian looking creature on it. "This must be dragon's blood." Talia opens the jar and sniffs the stale powder. She sneezes, shrugs and dumps it into the cauldron.

Savage Taurus goes back inside and watches the fae suspiciously.

Savage watches the Fae suspiciously

Talia Sunsong: "Now I need to stir it." Talia goes to a glass cabinet. Inside are stuffed creatures, a bat and a lizard.

Talia.Sunsong grabs something that looks like a stick from the cabinet with the stuffed bat.

Savage Taurus: feels his tummy rumble and his head starts spinning and decides to go sit in a chair.

Talia Sunsong: "This will work for stirring." Talia vigorously stirs the potion. It starts to bubble.

Savage Taurus: strange sensation courses through his body and he realizes that the potion he drank before is finally wearing off

Talia Sunsong  wrinkles up her nose at the smell. "I guess it’s working." She scoops out a ladleful into a cup. Calling "Saaavageeee." come and drink.

Rorn shakes his head "No."

Fitheach Eun looks around curiously at the ruins scattered about.

Fitheach Eun: “Let's go explore a bit?”

Savage Taurus feels like he's about to barf and pass out at the same time as his form shifts back to human.

Talia.Sunsong: "Savage, there you are. This will make you all better. I made it myself." Holds out the cup to Savage.

Fiesty Lotus: “Sure, wonder how Talia is doin with the cleanin.”

Fitheach Eun wanders off towards the ruins under the trees.

Savage Taurus looks at the fae warily, his insides tumbling like dice.

Savage Taurus: mutters, "Will this make me feel better?"

Talia Sunsong: "Yes, it will make you into a dragon."

Savage Taurus takes the cup slowly and sniffs it, looking up at the fae, "You sure?"

Fitheach Eun: “Maybe we should go check on them?”

Fiesty Lotus: “Interesting ruins.”

Talia Sunsong: "Of course I’m sure." Rorn shakes his head "No, no, no."

Fitheach Eun: “Yes. I wonder who made them.”

Fiesty Lotus:” Hmmm. Yes- that fae does have a way of messin stuff up.”

Savage Taurus tries to decide whether to trust the fae or not, but his desire to get back to his dragon form is overwhelming, so he gulps the concoction down.

Talia Sunsong: "Chug, chug, chug it down."

Savage Taurus: a sharp pain jabs him in the stomach, and he cries out, dropping the mug on the library carpet as he writhes in the chair.

Talia Sunsong: "Oh it can't be that bad, can it?" She steps back from Savage.

Fitheach Eun hears the noise and runs for the library door.

It feels like acid is coursing though his veins and every cell of his body is on fire.

Fitheach Eun walks in and sees Savage is human again.

Rorn covers his eyes.

Fiesty Lotus sees Druid Fit running and goes in the library.

Fitheach Eun: But...

Fitheach Eun: suddenly he writhes and starts turning green...

Talia Sunsong  looks down at the writhing Savage. "Opps."

Fiesty Lotus: “Who be that? That's Savage?”

Rorn whines as he sees his father turn green.

Fiesty Lotus: "Oh my."

Talia Sunsong: "Well, green is a good color, right?"

Green is a good color, right?

Savage Taurus’s body contorts in agony and he can feel himself changing, his legs especially feel weird in ways his nervous system can’t understand

Fitheach Eun stops, not sure what to do: " Talia, what have you done?

Savage Taurus feels himself being stretched out like a long thin noodle.

Talia Sunsong: "Me? I was doing good. I found this dragon shapeshifting potion in the book as I was cleaning up.”

Fitheach Eun: “You found what?”

Talia Sunsong: "Rorn wouldn't give me any dragon blood for the potion, but I found a jar of it and stirred the potion with this stick." She holds up a stuffed snake.”

Fitheach Eun looks alarmed, “Dragon's blood?”

Talia Sunsong: "See the jar? It came from a cabinet." Talia points to a dusty jar with a reptilian on it.

Savage Taurus pants heavily as his head swims and then wretches in front of the fireplace.

Fitheach Eun picks up the jar and wipes away some of the dust revealing a strange snakelike creature...

Savage Taurus looks up at the fae, "What did you do to me?"

Fitheach Eun: “This is reptile blood but not dragon.”

Talia Sunsong gasps and backs away from Savage. "He's ... he's..."

Fitheach Eun: "What have you done to Savage?"

Talia Sunsong: "Um, I changed him. That's good right? He's no longer a sheep. He hated being a sheep."

Fitheach Eun: “Do you really think he will like this better?”

Fiesty Lotus stares in horror at the creature.

Fiesty stares in horrer

Talia Sunsong: "Yes, yes, sure this is bigger, and more menacing..." Talia backs further away.

Savage Taurus looks down and realizes he is green now, but still has humanoid arms.

Fitheach Eun steps towards the snakelike monster: " Savage, are you all right?"

Savage Taurus: “I...I don’t know.”

Tali aSunsong pastes a fake smile on her face. "You look great."

Fitheach Eun: “Talia seems to have turned you into a Naga..”.

Savage Taurus looks behind him and sees a long thick tail, but not like the tail he used to have. "Is that mine?"

Savage sees his long, thick tail.

Fitheach Eun: "Ummm, well, yes, it is."

Talia Sunsong "See you have a dragon tail and a dragon hide and a dragon head thingies, sort of."

Savage Taurus feels his shoulders and upper back, "no wings...I'm not a dragon, am I?"

Savage Taurus: “a ..naga? Is that like a dragon?”

Fiesty Lotus shakes her head mutely.

Fitheach Eun: "No Savage, you are not a dragon."

Talia Sunsong: "Yes, yes. naga is like a dragon."

Fitheach Eun sighs: " Distantly, perhaps."

Savage Taurus lets out a defeated sigh, "Well I guess it’s better than a sheep," though he feels a bit depressed.

Talia Sunsong: "It's more like a dragon than a sheep!"

Savage Taurus: “I wonder what nagas eat?”

Fitheach Eun: "Very distantly...."

Talia.Sunsong: "So I did right."

Fiesty Lotus: “Nope.”

Fitheach Eun shakes her head slowly: " Definitely not."

Rorn flies down, landing on the chair arm next to his naga father. He sniffs Savage. "Naga Dada."

Savage Taurus: "Perhaps...they eat fae," he grins at Talia malevolently.

Fitheach Eun stifles a smile.

Talia Sunsong: "Noooooo. Naga eat..." She looks around. "Chamomile tea!

Savage Taurus pats his son affectionately, "It'll be alright, boy."

"Dada Naga."

Fiesty Lotus goes to the bookshelf to see what naga’s eat.

Rorn notices Savage's tail flicking back and forth. He sneaks across the rug and pounces on the tail.

Savage Taurus: chuckles at his playful son.

Fiesty Lotus looks for books on reptile creatures.

Savage Taurus burps, "No more eating grass for me."

Fitheach Eun: “For these reasons, nagas typically limit the size of their prey to roughly half their own size standing upright at most. The only time an average naga might consider hunting something bigger is if they are famished and knows for certain they can safely get away with it.”

Talia Sunsong: "Am I half his size?" Looks at Hobbit Fiesty. "Fiesty is half your size!"

Fitheach Eun: “Nagas, like snakes, are carnivores, and are fond of eating live animals.”

Talia.Sunsong backs even further away.

Fiesty Lotus takes a step back.

Fiesty Lotus: "I do think we need to do something about this."

Fitheach Eun: “After eating a large prey, nagas tend to become sluggish and sleepy.”

Fiesty Lotus whispers to Druid Fit "Do you think this change will wear off?"

Fitheach Eun looks concerned: "It depends on the potion and how much he drank."

Fitheach Eun: "WE need to look at the recipe."

Fiesty Lotus: “Yes.”

Talia.Sunsong: "It's in this book." Talia picks up a book and looses the page.

Talia confronts Savage

Fitheach Eun takes the book and heads to the table with Fiesty, leaving Talia to confront Savage.

Talia Sunsong: "So are you going to pay me in cream and shiny coins for changing you from a sheep to a more dragon like creature?"

Savage Taurus: looks at the fae, "We'll work...something out.”
