Adventurers from Daukrhame [8 Thory 4261]

I hadn't gotten through writing half my dinner with Esory when other things happened. I'll finish it up soon -- it was notable for various reasons -- but I want to write about today's day's events today.

The first sign that there was something amiss was that Real-Eel popped through my door, stinking rather immensely. "Sythyry, do you happen to have some fearsome and mighty weapons that your grandmother lent you?"

Me:"Zie's not my grandmother, and they're generally rather defensive in character. And not wholly under my control."

Real-Eel:"Pity, that. I could rather use a chalice which pours forth venomous clawed flames just about now."

Me:"It was decided that I should not have much opportunity either destroy Vheshrame by mistake or to bully my classmates. Besides, that'd be a very hard thing to make a chalice do; chalices are for healing."

Real-Eel:"You're bullying me with your expertise in Enchantment. Dratted second-trimester students who know everything..."

Me:"I hardly know everything! Indeed, I have not the slightest idea who pushed you into the privy and thereby needs venomous clawed revenge."

Real-Eel:"Oh, that. Neither do I."

Me:"You don't? A sneak attack, perhaps?"

Real-Eel:"Well, actually I did it."

Me:"I surely will not help you get revenge upon yourself!"

But what happened is this. A half-dozen armed and armored foreigners, including a Khtsoyis and a Sleeth, wandered into the quad and started shouting, "Nestrune! Nestrune!" Real-Eel helpfully tried to talk to one of the Orren about him. She was a bit cautious. The Khtsoyis was not accepting caution. He floated above her and waved his clubs dangerously! One or two of the others also menaced her! So, she did what any Wild Rushing Orren would do: she dumped water on herself, turned into water-form, and fled down the smallest, wettest hole she could find. Into the sewer. And came up to chat with a friend who (1) might be able to protect her from the Khtsoyis (I probably could), (2) might be able to help her get revenge on the Khtsoyis (I can't), and (3) has the sensible, fair, balanced, and thoroughly-considered opinion that Nestrune is rather deserving of assorted discomforts and distresses (I do).

What I could do, is help wash her up. (This involved more heating water than actual washing.

What I couldn't do, is scrub the stink out of her fur or the house. So we hunted down Strenata, who is good at Airador, and...

Neeeeeestrune! Neeeeeestrune!

Remind me again why the Khtsoyis with the clubs and the Orren with the rapier went to the Library with the books and not the Karcist with the ritual? I think I'm fuzzy on that detail...

Because dealing with the Karcist required a minimum amount of tact, decorum and trickery at first?

Thanks to everyone for letting me sit in on that gaming session. I was the motherly Orren who did nothing but eat a mouse-on-a-stick and rifle through a desk for letters, but I had a great time nonetheless. I'd love to play again as soon as I have the chance, but that probably won't be until next Anthrocon at the earliest. I'll just keep following Sythyry's journal for now.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I'm sorry that you didn't get to do very much -- I do try to give every player a chance to do things and be important, but with giants of gaming like Pyat and expert World Tree players/gms like Jason, Mufi, and Zander, it's pretty hard for a GM to do.

Anyways, good to meet you!

Sounds like you have something to hide! *searchs you for very long strings*

Yay! More hubris fuel! :)

(OOC: zie does have something that zie might have hid if (1) zie had known enough to hide it, and (2) you had confronted zir.)

*is curious!*

Goodness, that 'and...' looks awful menacing! Well, I'll just wait and see what happens. (Though I have a decent idea... Oh, the carnage!)

And then there are those of us who only end up looking like idiots in the end. ;) Remember, those letters were important, so you did help the group out quite a bit.

I'd like to second pollen_w's notion and thank everyone who was there for bearing with my incredible newness to the game. I was the Cani who broke the Destroc healer's chair while she was unconsious. I really enjoyed playing and would like to get into the game though I don't know when the next time will be as even going to Anthrocon next year is uncertian.
