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

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...
