T Rex?




Fiesty Studies the Large Crystal
Fiesty Lotus stands studying the crystal she bought with her Earth sense.
Rorn toddles over to the table, carrying a large egg
Talia Sunsong : "What is that you are carrying, Rorn?
Rorn rolls the egg around the table with his nose.
Talia Sunsong  "It's an egg. Where did you get it?"
Rorn: looks up. "No wing dwagon land."
Fiesty Lotus sees a pouch on the table she has not noticed and then she realizes that Rorn is also adding something to the tableau.
Fiesty Lotus: "An egg?"
Talia Sunsong "Wingless dragon land? Rorn, don't play with that egg."
Fiesty Lotus: "Oh Dear!"

No-Wing Dwagon Egg

The egg rolls near the heat of a cauldron.
The egg starts to quiver. There is a cracking noise.
Rorn’s eyes get big.
Talia Sunsong: "It's hatching!"
Fiesty Lotus looks at Fae Talia. "Tell me he didn't..."
The creature inside the egg rams the shell from the inside. A hole appears in the egg.
Fiesty Lotus: 'It is just a small egg..."
Talia Sunsong: The egg cracks down the middle and a T-Rex chick pops out.
Fiesty Lotus watches mesmerized as the egg hatches.
Rorn: "Huh!"
Talia Sunsong: "No wing dwagon!  No wing Dwagon!"
Fiesty Lotus: "It's a dinosaur!"
Talia Sunsong: "It's kind of cute." She reaches over to pet it.
Fiesty Lotus: "I wouldn't...."
Rorn: hops around excited. "No wing dwagon!"
The T-Rex snaps at the fae's finger.
Talia Sunsong : "Ouch!"
Talia Sunsong : "It has sharp teeth."

Sharp Teeth

Rorn chases the T-Rex chick around the table.
Fiesty Lotus: "Yes, we should catch it and bring it back to that Dinosaur land."
Fiesty Lotus stares at the creature. "Perhaps it has a mother."
T-rex knocks herbs and scrolls off the table.
Talia Sunsong: "How will we catch it?"
Fiesty Lotus: "A net perhaps?
The T-rex chick stops to gnaw on a bone. Rorn grabs one end and they have a tug of war.
Rorn: “Growls.”
Fiesty Lotus: "Or a bucket?"
Talia Sunsong : "I don't see a net around."
Talia Sunsong looks for a bucket.

Pouch of Crystals

Rorn: lets go of the bone. The T-Rex chick stumbles backwards into a pouch on the table.
Fiesty Lotus: " One of these jars will do I believe."
The pouch tumbles off the table.
Rorn scampers to the edge of the table.
 T-Rex chomps on the bone greedily.
The pouch opens and some crystals fall onto the floor
Talia Sunsong : "Oooo Shinies!"
Fiesty Lotus: "Oh, look at that. That be Savage’s pouch!"
Talia Sunsong: "Hey, he was holding out on us! He has shinies."
Fiesty Lotus: "How did he get so many crystals?"

Shinies - Savage Has Been Holding Out!

Talia Sunsong : "Those look like the wingless dragon land crystals."
Fiesty Lotus bends down and inspects one "They be interesten."
Rorn jumps off the table, grabs a crystal and runs off with it.
The T-Rex chick jumped off the table and ran out the open door.
Fiesty Lotus remembers the pesky dinosaur and looks around for it.
Talia Sunsong : "The dino got away. Do we have to tell the others about it?"
Talia Sunsong : "Let's just hope we don't run into the dino later on. Those T-Rexs get big!"
Fiesty Lotus nods and smiles ruefully.

Dinotopian Crystals


Savage Naga

Fitheach Eun stares pensively at Savage
Fitheach Eun: whispers to Fiesty: " What do we do now?"
Fiesty Lotus rubs her arms, trying to get used to the new Savage
Talia Sunsong: Moves farther away from snake Savage
Savage Taurus slithers around, tongue flicking out of his mouth, tummy rumbling
Savage Taurus has a sudden urge for lamb, ironically
Fitheach Eun sighs: "This has gotten awfully complicated."
Fiesty Lotus: “I dunno- maybe we need more power to our potions.”
Rorn: bored with playing with Savage's tail, Rorn hops on the table
Savage Taurus: “Why are you all looking at me that way?”
Fitheach Eun: “Are you happy with that form, Savage?”
Savage Taurus looks down at himself, "Meh...could be worse"
Rorn: looks hungrily at Talia
Fiesty Lotus snaps "I ain't lookin at you."
Talia Sunsong: "I don't have any food on me Rorn. Here look at this picture book instead."
Savage Taurus: “Then why are your eyeballs pointed in my direction?”

What are our Options?
Fitheach Eun whispers to Fiesty again: "We need something to hop up the spells to undo this."
Talia Sunsong: sets a large, colorful book in front of Rorn and opens it.
Fiesty Lotus: I was readin about power boosts in the library ta other day
Savage Taurus: “Undo what?”
Fiesty Lotus: It said there be crystals that kin do that
Fitheach Eun: Power books?
Rorn: plops down in front of the book. Rorn looks down and gets excited. "Dwagons! No wing dwagons!"
Fiesty Lotus: “I don't know where ter find em though.”
Fitheach Eun: “Hmmm yes, I remember Jaek using crystals to make potions stronger long ago.”
Savage Taurus slithers around the library, getting used to his new form
Talia Sunsong: looks at the book. "Oh, they do look like wingless dwagons, I mean dragons."
Fiesty Lotus looks over at the fae and wonders what she is on about
Rorn: hops around the book. "Dwagons, go see dwagons!"

Dwagons!

Fitheach Eun: “Are crystals mined or just found?”
Savage Taurus: wonders when the kid started to talk, thinking that they grow so quickly
Fiesty Lotus: “I think it said they were mined.”
Fitheach Eun: “I have not seen any mines around here...”
Savage Taurus: “I think it meant they were "mine", which of course they all are.”
Talia Sunsong: pages through the book. "These dwagons have crystals."
Fiesty Lotus: “Well, lookie there that Rorn is on a picture book.”
Fitheach Eun: “Dwagons?”
Talia Sunsong: "Um dragons."
Fiesty Lotus hides a smile
Savage Taurus makes a note to himself to work on his son's speech impediment
Fitheach Eun: “Do they indeed?”
Rorn: "Go go go!"
Fitheach Eun: “Perhaps we should go investigate?”
Fiesty Lotus looks more closely at the illustrations
Rorn paws at book.
Fiesty Lotus murmurs to Druid Fit "What do you think?"
Fitheach Eun: “Grab that book Fiesty and everyone come touch it; there are rune pattern on that blanket.”
Talia Sunsong: picks up Rorn and touches book
Fitheach Eun reaches out to touch the runes and trace them
Savage Taurus doesnt like touching books, but grudgingly does as everyone else
Fitheach Eun: The book begins to glow
Fiesty Lotus touches book
Fitheach Eun holds the book tightly with her other hand and keeps tracing
Savage Taurus imagines his skin burning from touching the foul thing
Fitheach Eun: The book glows brighter and the room begins to spin
Savage Taurus feels the room spin and thinks he drank some bad paga
Savage Taurus: “Naga paga is potent.”
Talia Sunsong wings flutter oddly from the portal trip
Talia Sunsong: smooths out her wings
Fitheach Eun staggers on landing and looks around
Fiesty Lotus nearly loses her lunch "I gotta get better at this."

This Looks Like a City

Talia Sunsong blinks and looks around.
Fiesty Lotus: "Hmm, looks like a city"
Talia Sunsong: "What is that huge thing in the distance?"
Talia gasps. "It is a wingless dwagon, um dragon."
Savage Taurus: “Not quite dragons, son. But they seem similar.”
Fiesty Lotus: How about Fit and I go and inquire about crystals while you check out the critters?
Fitheach Eun peers at the distant creature; "It does look rather dragonlike."
Savage Taurus starts to get slightly offended
Savage Taurus: “Oh right, we all look the same to you, don't we?”
Rorn: launches himself out of Talia's arms
Fitheach Eun tries to improve things: " Ummm well yes, you do look quite ummm similar."
Fiesty Lotus: "Oh, that tears it."
Rorn: flies towards the huge 'wingless dwagon'."
Savage Taurus: growls at the elf
Fitheach Eun: "Should we separate though; we do not know this place or if there is danger?"
 Talia Sunsong: chases after Rorn
Savage Taurus: “Watch out, son. Don't get eaten.”
Talia Sunsong: "Rorn be careful the dwagon might not be friendly."
Rorn flies up to the creature as large as a house
Fitheach Eun looks up: "Look not all of them are wingless."
Savage Taurus looks around at the dinosaurs, "I must say, some of the females do look...fetching...."
Talia Sunsong: heads towards the large creature
Fiesty Lotus looks at Savage in horror

The Herb Stand

Fitheach Eun looks at the old woman standing nearby with the herb stand
Fitheach Eun: "Greetings milady, what place is this?"
The old lady peers at them with interest: "This be Dinotopia, home of the giant reptiles."
Talia Sunsong whispers: "Do they eat Fae, because if they do, I don't like it here.”
Fitheach Eun looks quizzical: " Reptiles? Those giant beasts are like snakes?"
Savage Taurus: "Old woman, are you food for these magnificent creatures?"
Fitheach Eun jostles Savage with her staff: " be polite."
Savage Taurus: looks at the elf quizically, "huh?"
Rorn: lands on the herb table and snuffles a pile of lavender.
Fitheach Eun sighs
Rorn: chews on the lavender
Savage Taurus: breaks off from the group and approaches one of the more alluring females, "Hey, darlin' You come 'round here often?"
The old woman smiles: "Those "snakes" are as intelligent as you are."
Talia Sunsong: "As intelligent as a Fae? That's hard to believe."
Old Woman: “This is their world; they just let us live here with them.”
Talia Sunsong: "Like the way we put up with dragons threatening to eat my Fae wings?"
Savage Taurus continues to flirt with the female dinosaur, "Oh don’t mind this puny form. I assure you, my true shape is quite...impressive..." he says with a wink.
Rorn: sneezes out bits of lavender.
Fitheach Eun looks closer at the table.
Savage Taurus: begins to get miffed that the lady dino is ignoring him and slithers away in a huff
Fiesty Lotus is attracted by the crystal on the lady’s table
Fitheach Eun sees the crystal, too and looks at Fiesty
Fiesty Lotus: "Ahh miss, is that a power crystal?"

The Ladies are Not Interested

Savage Taurus as he is winding his way back to the group, he notices something shiny on the ground and picks it up, finding a small perfectly formed crystal, and stows it away hoping no one noticed
The old lady smiles again: "Crystals are very common here."
Talia Sunsong: "It's so pretty and shiny. Trade for a fairy mushroom?"
Old Woman: "Our dino mages do use them for spells."
Fiesty Lotus shakes her head. "How much you want fer that crystal?
Savage Taurus looks around seeing more shiny rocks littering the ground and goes around collecting them.
Old Woman: “The crystal? I am only using to hold these dried herbs down.”
Old Woman: “If you like it; I will give it to you.”
Fiesty Lotus: "Well, that be nice of you. Kin I look at the herbs you are selling?
Talia Sunsong startles as a giant dinosaur strides by
Talia Sunsong: "I would fly away but I'm afraid of those large flying creatures with the sharp teeth."
Fiesty Lotus ventures closer to see the herbs
Fitheach Eun: "Nothing looks dangerous, though."
Fiesty Lotus: “I think I will take some of that betony and the chamomile.”
Fiesty Lotus pulls out her purse and pays for the herbs- gaining the crystal as well
Savage Taurus: “Hey buddy, watch where you step!”
Talia Sunsong dodges out from under foot of a 30-foot tall dino
Rorn: lands on the neck of one of the 30-foot tall dinos
Savage Taurus: “Son, be careful there.”
Talia Sunsong: “Look there's a man sitting in a basket hanging from the dino's neck.”
Savage Taurus sighs and follows
Talia Sunsong shouts: “Hi”
The man in the basket under the dino's neck waves. "Come jump on the dino. We'll give you a ride."
Talia Sunsong shouts: "Really is it safe?"
Savage Taurus: So, have we gotten what we came for here?

A Dwagon Ride!

Talia Sunsong flies up and lands behind Rorn. "Let's go for a 'dwagon' ride!"
Savage Taurus: "Um, yea, they're not dragons."
Savage Taurus: "That would be like me calling you all chimps."
Savage Taurus: "A bit insulting, no?"
Savage Taurus: "Besides, these chicks wouldn't know a dragon in his prime, if he bit them."
Talia Sunsong: "Dragons have chicks?"
Savage Taurus: "....which I might...."
Savage Taurus: "Well, they do lay eggs"
Talia Sunsong sits on the dragon and goes for the ride of her life.
Fitheach Eun smiles and watches
Savage Taurus: "This dude stomping past us like a big goober." scowls at the passing dino
Talia Sunsong: "What will you do with the crystal?"
Savage Taurus: "Nanny, I could have given you a ride anytime you wanted, if you hadn’t changed me."
Fiesty Lotus quietly holds the crystal she was given and probes its essence
Fitheach Eun pulls out the book that brought them and asks: " Shall we head back; we have a crystal?"
Talia Sunsong calls Rorn back to her arms
Talia Sunsong: "You can visit with the 'wingless dwagons' again later."
Savage Taurus: "Yea, I'm done with this zoo visit. Let’s head home."
Fitheach Eun holds the book tightly and waits for the others to touch it
Savage Taurus: reluctantly touches the book
Talia Sunsong: puts Rorn's paw on the book and her own hand
Fiesty Lotus touches the book
Fitheach Eun tucks her staff under her arm and traces the runes backwards 3 times
Fitheach Eun: The books glows again and then everything spins

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...
