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?”
