We Need More Crystals and Back to Momma

Everyone Gathered Around the Cage

Saphira Mistwalker drops into the library, to find the others gathered around a cage.

Fiesty Lotus: Well, that Savage ain't much fer this trip

Fitheach Eun raises an eyebrow at Savage: "If you are going to take that attitude, we will return him by ourselves

Fitheach Eun puts the book on top of the dino's cage

Talia Sunsong: Sigh we don't get to sell Savage or the Dino to the circus?

Savage Taurus: "I got my crystals and them ladies ain't willen.

Saphira Mistwalker: Are we taking this little guy home then?

Fitheach Eun: ‘Ok everyone, gather round and touch the book.’

Fitheach Eun: Yeah Saph, we feel he belongs with his mother

Fitheach Eun: And he eats too much.

Saphira Mistwalker: Heh, a growing child.

Rorn sits proudly on the cage

Rorn: greets Saphira

Saphira Mistwalker: Greetings Rorn.

Saphira Mistwalker: Greetings Savage.

Talia Sunsong: "Savage you sure you don't want to go to the circus?"

Fitheach Eun: "Everyone touch the book, please"

Everyone Touch the Book

Fiesty Lotus touches the book

Saphira Mistwalker sighs and reaches for the book.

Talia Sunsong: steps forward and touches the book

Rorn: puts on paw on the book

Fiesty Lotus: Come on Savage Naga

Savage Taurus: is reluctant to touch a book, thinking it might harm him in some way

Talia Sunsong: "Look Saph, I helped turn Savage into a Naga"

Fitheach Eun rolls her eyes

Fitheach Eun: "Helped, yeah"

Talia Sunsong: "I didn't read the ingredients on the potion bottle closely"

Saphira Mistwalker hesitates in touching the book and rolls her eyes as well. "I see that. Some improvement, I guess."

Talia Sunsong: "People make substitutions in recipes, right?"

Saphira Mistwalker: Hmm, I'm not sure potions are quite the same thing.

Saphira Mistwalker takes a deep breath and touches the book as well.

Savage Taurus: doesn’t want to be the only one left so he touches the book with one small finger

Talia Sunsong: "I thought potions and recipes were the same."

Fitheach Eun traces the symbols in the book slowly

Fitheach Eun: The book begins to glow brighter

Fitheach Eun: On the third repetition, everything starts to swirl and goes black

Saphira Mistwalker looks around and hisses gently at all the huge reptiles.

Fitheach Eun blinks in the brighter light

Saphira Mistwalker looks up at the new arrival and gulps. "Even in my full dragon form, I'm not that big. Shadow dragons are small."

Fitheach Eun hears rumbling coming closer

Fiesty Lotus: "Uh, oh, I think we need ter let the critter out."

Talia Sunsong: "Sigh, we are letting go of many shinies we could get selling him to the circus."

Fitheach Eun gulps and backs away; “Yes, Fiesty I believe you are correct.”

Back to Mama

Fiesty Lotus hurries to open the cage door.

Saphira Mistwalker notices she is between the mother and baby, and backs out of the way

Fiesty Lotus: The T-Rex scurries toward his mother

Fitheach Eun watches the mother and the other reptiles closely

Rorn: "Bigggg dwagon!"

Fiesty Lotus: Yes Rorn, that be a big one.

Savage Taurus: yea, lower creatures like that need to be kept in cages...reptiles, and faeries, and hobbits, and elves, and....

Saphira Mistwalker: You know, my clan had stories about these big reptiles, from ages past. I didn't know there were still any in existence.

Fiesty Lotus: And Nagas...

Talia Sunsong: "I'll use my bent magic wand to save us!"

Fitheach Eun: Really Saphira? How old are those legends?

Savage Taurus: No, I said 'lower' creatures

Talia Sunsong: "Do wingless dwagons eat Fae?"

Fiesty Lotus: I be taller than you now Savage

Savage Taurus: Probably

Fitheach Eun ignores Savage, again

Saphira Mistwalker: Hmm, really old. Almost from the dawn of our clan, so thousands of millennia.

Fitheach Eun: Interesting

Fiesty Lotus watches Savage

Talia Sunsong: "This dino is 1000s of years old? She looks good for her age."

Saphira Mistwalker: I don't think she is. I just say we thought they were all gone a long time ago.

Savage Taurus: Saphira, these creatures to us are like what monkeys are to the hominids.

She Musta Just Ate

Fiesty Lotus: The Mother doesn't seem interested in us-- she musta just ate

Talia Sunsong: Mother T-rex looks at group and roars

Savage Taurus: spies some shiny things on the ground and sneakily starts to gather them in what he thinks is a clandestine way

Fitheach Eun notices Savage and says, please share those this time, Savage"

Rorn: yips and moves away from giant T-rex

Fitheach Eun retreats further and collects some crystals as well

Fiesty Lotus notices Savage and looks around for other crystals

Savage Taurus quickly hides them behind his back, "What? What are you talking about? You'd better watch that mama dino. She might mistake you for a snack."

Saphira Mistwalker watches the two gathering crystals. "What are the crystals for?"

Fitheach Eun: " We need crystals for some experiments. we learned they can power things up."

Rorn: flies around head of T-rex chick one last time and follows others

Saphira Mistwalker nods.

Talia Sunsong: "Shinies? You have shinies?" eagerly goes to pick up crystals.

Savage Taurus: sighs as he realizes the rest of the group has noticed them too

Rorn: lands near piles of crystals. He grabs one for his little hoard.

Fiesty Lotus picks up more crystals- trying for the more glowy ones

Talia Sunsong: "I'm going to put this crystal on a crown for me, or maybe a magic wand!"

Saphira Mistwalker waves to the two huge reptiles

Saphira Mistwalker narrows her eyes at Talia and sighs. 'I'm not sure a new wand is a great idea."

Talia Sunsong: sees Saph waving and waves too. "Bye bye big scary lizard."

Fiesty Lotus gathers up all she has picked and puts them in her pouch

A Smaller Reptile Dashes by

Fitheach Eun jumps as a smaller reptile dashes by

Rorn: waves his little hand "bye" to dino chick

Fitheach Eun: "Perhaps we should leave while we can?"

Saphira Mistwalker: Perhaps it is time to leave we seem to be attracting a lot of attention.

Fitheach Eun holds out the book

Savage Taurus: kicks some crystals behind the tents and plans to come back to retrieve them later

Fiesty Lotus: Yes- those reptiles are very active and I think the T-Rex is looking at us.

Fitheach Eun nods; touch the book please

Fiesty Lotus touches the book

Talia Sunsong: "But I want my shinies!"

Saphira Mistwalker tries to hide a smirk as Savage is almost hauled away

Saphira Mistwalker: Ok, these reptiles are getting too friendly.

Saphira Mistwalker: Time to go.

Fitheach Eun: nods

Fiesty Lotus nods

Savage Taurus: touches the book before the raptors decide to abduct them

Saphira Mistwalker reaches out and touches the book.

Fitheach Eun traces the symbols in reverse

Talia Sunsong: sighs and touches the book

Fitheach Eun: the book begins to glow brightly

Fitheach Eun: suddenly the world spins and goes black

Catch That Baby!

What is This Eggshell?

Fiesty Lotus goes over to the table once more.

Fitheach Eun follows thinking about crystals

Fiesty Lotus looks at the lone crystal sitting there and says to Druid Fit "I think we are gonna need more crystals."

Fitheach Eun: "Hey about this egg?"

Talia.Sunsong: tries to grab egg shells. "I'll just put this away."

Fitheach Eun: And yes I agree, I think we will need quite a few crystals

Rorn: noses around eggshells

Fiesty Lotus looks up startled "Oh yeah, In all that confusion I forgot about that egg.

Fiesty Lotus looks at Talia

Rorn: gets scent of creature formerly inside of eggshell and follows it.

Fitheach Eun looks at Talia and raises her eyebrows questioningly

Fiesty Lotus: Soo, Rorn brought back this egg from Dinotopia, and it hatched...

Talia.Sunsong: "See, I'm innocent. It was Rorn's fault this time." She looks over at Rorn, who is sniffing around, following a trail.

Fiesty Lotus: There was this tiny T-Rex came out.

Fitheach Eun gulps: "An egg from Dinotopis, but that would contain a giant lizard."

Fiesty Lotus: He ran out the door. I ain't seen em since.

He Ran Out the Door

Rorn: sniffs along the trail that goes to the door.

Fitheach Eun: He does not belong here; surely his family misses him

Savage Taurus: yawns and hopes this doesn't involve him needing to do anything strenuous

Rorn: pulls at the doorknob with his little hands

Fiesty Lotus looks a little guilty. "I did forget about him."

 Fitheach Eun: He might be hungry or thirsty, let's go find him?"

Fiesty Lotus nods. Alright

Rorn: knocks on the door and looks expectantly at the people

Talia.Sunsong: "Did you want out Rorn?"

Talia.Sunsong: opens the door. Rorn flies out.

Savage Taurus: sighs and follows, grumbling

Rorn: sniffs the air and scans the area.

Fitheach Eun: Savage you are a reptile, maybe he will come to you?

Savage Taurus: um... huh?

Rorn: with a yelp of joy, Rorn flies towards the ruins of a rock henge

Fitheach Eun: Kindred?

Savage Taurus: Hey don’t involve me in this business. I only have one kid.

Rorn: "No wing dwagon!"

Rorn: circles around a form near the rocks.

Fiesty Lotus: Oh my. he grew

Rorn: "No wing dwagon!!"

Oh My

Savage Taurus: Just because you want to keep adopting more pets, doesn’t mean I have any responsibility for it

Savage Taurus: It aint even a proper dragon, anyways

Rorn: dodges as a half-grown T-Rex chick snaps at him

Fiesty Lotus eyes the reptile. "It looks a bit fierce

Savage Taurus: sighs and rolls his snakey eyes

Talia.Sunsong: "Hey, don't bite Rorn you overgrown lizard!"

Fitheach Eun regards it warily

Savage Taurus: So what do ya want ter do with this thing anyway?

Fiesty Lotus: So, we gonna take it back? It don't look like it''s gonna go quietly."

Savage Taurus: It can take care of itself, right?

Talia.Sunsong: "Can we sell it for shinies?"

Fitheach Eun: I doubt that, who will teach it?

Savage Taurus: Ooh! Now that's a good idea. I like the way you think, nanny

Savage Taurus: Um, not like I'm tryin ta help or anything. But why not just throw some meat in a cage or sumthin

Savage Taurus: It got pointy teeth, so I'm guessin it east meat

Fiesty Lotus: Good idea Savage.

Talia.Sunsong: lol

Savage Taurus: So...uh...anybody got some meat?

Talia.Sunsong: "I could use my bent magic wand on the TRex."

Fitheach Eun: No Talia, no wand

Savage Taurus: Hahaha...well, that would be interesting, no doubt

Talia.Sunsong: "Maybe I could give the TRex wings like I did to the goat"

Savage Taurus: Hey, why dont ya give me wings, while you’re at it?

Fitheach Eun: Oh great a flying hungry reptile, just what we need

Fiesty Lotus: I did see a cage back in the cave- mebby we can drag that out here

Savage Taurus: I'm not a reptile, technically....

Talia.Sunsong: "I still think we should sell it to a circus for shinies and cream.:

Savage Taurus: Well, I guess I am now at the moment

Rorn: circles the snapping TRex

Rorn and the T-Rex

Savage Taurus: Yea, a circus would love a flyin' lizard!

Rorn: The TRex growls a deep growl at Rorn, who growls his little cat like growl back.

Savage Taurus: How much do ya think they would pay for it?

Talia.Sunsong: "Lots and Lots of money right?"

Savage Taurus: That's right, boy. You give em what for.

Savage Taurus: If we can find a circus that will pay nice, we could go back and get more of these little critters

Fitheach Eun looks sternly at Savage: " This creature is going back to his family, not to a circus."

Rorn: lands on the neck of the TRex chick. The TRex tries to bite Rorn, but can't reach its neck.

Fiesty Lotus goes to get the cage

Fitheach Eun goes to help

Savage Taurus: How do ya know it even has a family?

Fiesty and Fit drag the old cage close to the ruins

Talia.Sunsong: "Ride 'em cowboy Rorn!"

Rorn: taunts the TRex chick

Savage Taurus: Hehe, that's ma boy!

Talia.Sunsong: "Rorn be careful. That T'Rex has big teeth."

Talia.Sunsong: "Savage was cooking a turkey for his lunch."

Savage Taurus: Hey, you aint givin' it ma turkey, are ya?

Talia.Sunsong: "Let me have a leg first."

Talia.Sunsong: stomach rumbles

Fitheach Eun rolls my eyes

Talia.Sunsong: "You eat Phoenix? Well I guess it will just rise from the ashes."

Fiesty Lotus: "There there, little  Dino- here is some nice meat fer ya.

Talia.Sunsong: "Savage and Rorn were out hunting before lunch and caught a pheasant."

Savage Taurus: That aint right. Y'all dont have any ruspeck for ma property

Fiesty Lotus puts the bird in the cage

Savage Taurus: A caged bird don't fly...cause it been cooked..heh heh

Fitheach Eun: "Surely you can catch another, oh mighty hunter?"

Fiesty Lotus: The Dino moves closer - the smell of meat hanging in the air

Attracted by the Meat

Rorn: bops the TRex chick on the nose and flies towards the cage.

Savage Taurus: Yea, you say that now, but it’s always, "Savage don’t attack that. Savage don’t eat this," cause ya caint even pronounce ma name right!

Talia.Sunsong: the enraged and hungry TRex runs towards the meat.

Fitheach Eun raises an eyebrow: "You don't pronounce druid right either. "

Fiesty Lotus: The dino enters the cage tearing at the meat

Savage Taurus: Maybeh the way I pronounce it IS the right way

Fitheach Eun: I think we are more likely to know that than you are

Fiesty Lotus bounds forward and closes the cage door

Fiesty Lotus: The dino tries to break free and is unable

Rorn: sits proudly on top of the cage, as if he caught the TRex

Savage Taurus: chuckles, "Ya got yourself caught, ya dumb lizard. Wingless dragon, ma beehind."

Fiesty Lotus wipes her brow

Talia.Sunsong: "Now can we sell him to the circus?"

Fiesty Lotus: "No, we is taken it home."

Fitheach Eun: No now we can take him home; let's find that Dinotopia portal book.

Let's Take Him Home

Fiesty Lotus nods

Talia.Sunsong: "I meant sell Savage to the circus."

Fitheach Eun: Hey, that's not a bad idea...

Savage Taurus: hisses at the faerie

Savage Taurus: and the elf

Fiesty Lotus: "Yes- it is isn't it?

Talia.Sunsong: "Don't worry. I'll take good care of Rorn when you're gone/"

Savage Taurus: and the hobbit

Savage Taurus: grumbles and slithers away
