(8) GM: I don't remember anything about smuggling
(8) GM: do you mean the babies?
(6) Lae'nial: (Yeah - Smuggling babies)
(7) Arilou: (are we going with my plan to try and find a foest spirit to raise the fensir young?)
(7) Arilou: (Forest spirit)
(6) Lae'nial: (Barring a better plan, I guess so)
(7) Arilou: (well then, lets get to it!)
(8) GM: That is going to be hard
(7) Arilou: (I got mad nature skills, I'll give it a go)
(8) GM: right ok, I have a plan. continue
(7) Arilou: (so are we still at the cave, or back in town?)
(8) GM: Well I said youw ere in town because I forgot the bay thing. YOu can still be at the cave if you want
(8) GM: baby
(7) Arilou: I would like to still be at the cave, everybody else agree?
(6) Lae'nial: (Perhaps a ways into the woods where we won't be seen)
** (7) Arilou tells the towns folk that everything is ok, and the fensir will no longer be a problem **
(7) Arilou: Diplomacy Skill Check: [1d20+12] -> [20,12] = (32)
(8) GM: They believe you
** (7) Arilou tells them it is ok to return to town **
(8) GM: just to point out, by town I meant the main city. The farmers live on farms
** (7) Arilou tells them it is safe to return to their homes :) **
(8) GM: Ok, how will you go about finding a nature spirit
(7) Arilou: I intend to look for signs of such a creature using my knowledge nature and wilderness lore

(7) Arilou: (wabba? The other tunnel? What kind of signs)
(8) GM: light footprints
(7) Arilou: (What can I glean from these footprints)
(6) Lae'nial: (Thanks)
(8) GM: the Fensir footprints avoid that tunnel. They are large, man sized, but not very deep
(8) GM: the strange footprints that is
(7) Arilou: (Hmmmm, that is odd)
(7) Arilou: Ok, I point out the footprints to everybody else, and ask if they want to go in
(6) Lae'nial: Hopefully, the inhabitants will not attack us.
(6) Lae'nial: Perhaps we should knock first? (Completly serious)
** (7) Arilou peers in to the cave **
(8) GM: Deep within the tunnel comes the sound of running water. You see some light coming from the other end
** (1) Chtkrilktha attempts to discern the brightness of said light **
(8) GM: there are bits of reflected light moving about on the walls of the tunnel
** (7) Arilou puts the babies down, and asks somebody to watch after them **

(7) Arilou: Though, it may have been hiding
** (6) Lae'nial calls "Hello?" **
(1) Chtkrilktha: "Where is the light coming from?"
** (1) Chtkrilktha casts a very dirty look at the elf **
(6) Lae'nial: (Sorry, totally in-character)
(8) GM: Lae'nials call echoes int he cave
(6) Lae'nial: (You may or may not have noticed, but Lae'nials' personality is not quite stable.)
(6) Lae'nial: (Mostly because he has yet to figure out what kind of personality he will have.)
(7) Arilou: (uh.... what?)
(6) Lae'nial: (He's not sure who he is.)
(6) Lae'nial: (So he tries stuff to see if it will work.)
(6) Lae'nial: (Sometimes, with no regard to what other people call 'sanity', After all, if you're not sure who you are, how do you know what sanity is?)
(7) Arilou: Hmmm
** (7) Arilou walks into the cave **
(7) Arilou: Anyone care to come with me?

(8) GM: by chrge I mean the piece of nature they protect
** (7) Arilou pulls out a small steel mirror **
(7) Arilou: Uses the mirror to shine light around the cave
(8) GM: the light from the mirror joins all the other reflections moving about the cave
(7) Arilou: Any ideas?
(6) Lae'nial: Walk in? We have proven sufficient to all previous challenges.
(7) Arilou: We already did walk in :)
(6) Lae'nial: Ah. Perhaps I should call out again?
(7) Arilou: (can anyone cast control water?)
(7) Arilou: (or maybe something that would freeze the water)
(6) Lae'nial: (What water?)
(6) Lae'nial: (Oh, that.)

(8) GM: What aid do you seek?
(7) Arilou: There are too young ones left in our care

(7) Arilou: Knowledge: Nature Skill Check: [1d20+9] -> [17,9] = (26)

(7) Arilou: (Pollute it)
(9) GM: OC: well if you had urinated int he water he would have attacked :), or if you damned the river leading to the cave
** (7) Arilou puts his mirror away **
(7) Arilou: (thank god I was to lazy to go find where the water enters from above!)
(6) Lae'nial: (That lowers it's quality, but to harm it requires the use of electricity...)
(9) GM: well you don't have electricity so it doesn't matetr
(9) GM: "Show me" he says
** (7) Arilou goes out and grabs the young **
(7) Arilou: Here they are
(9) GM: He looks at them for a moment and then appears to think. "I will do this" he says

(9) GM: oc I meant ?
(1) Chtkrilktha: "Life is a flow of struggles."
(6) Lae'nial: "Yes, but at least elves were not viewed as strange or unpleasant. Save for drow..."
(9) GM: You leave the cave to find Hauk, Raknars henchman, waiting for you. He joins you on your return to the town
** (6) Lae'nial makes sure his hood is up. **
(9) GM: You journey to the town and eventually enter Raknars meeting hall
(7) Arilou: (wait, were we mounted when we came out here? Cause I want a horsee)
(9) GM: I think the party were riding horses
** (7) Arilou mounts up **
** (1) Chtkrilktha doesn't think thri-kreen and horses mix well **
** (7) Arilou thinks thrikreen eat horses or something like that **
(9) GM: horses give thri-keen gas :)
(7) Arilou: (So, how long is the journey back to town?)
(9) GM: a days journey
(7) Arilou: (can we make it before nightfall?)
** (6) Lae'nial considers good, evil and friendship. **
(9) GM: possibly
(6) Lae'nial: (That would depend on wether he means a 24-hour day or daytime)
(9) GM: well when you set out, you reached the farm at night and caught one of the fensir
(9) GM: so daylight i guess
(7) Arilou: Well then, I guess we ride back to town......
(7) Arilou: Unless there are any objections?
(1) Chtkrilktha: "I do not object."
** That's the Tab key, Dave
** That's the Tab key, Dave
** (7) Arilou rides out **
(6) Lae'nial: "Having no other destination priorities..."
(9) GM: no objections? Then you find yourself back in town
(9) GM: OC: did you want to finish up now, or do a bit more to lead on to the next adventure
(6) Lae'nial: (We took that long?)
(7) Arilou: (little bit more)
(9) GM: ok, you are ushered into Raknars meeting hall
(9) GM: Hauk, who moved in ahead of you is standing at his side, having reported your success
(9) GM: "I hear you have succeeded" Rakanr says
(7) Arilou: Aye
(9) GM: OC: Arilou, did you read the logs saying what Raknar looks like?
(7) Arilou: (OC: No sorry)
(9) GM: ok, Rakanr is a large bearded man. He has a patch over one eye and has a Raven, called munin, that sits on a perch nearby. Raknar has a strong gaze from his good eye that appears penetrating you when he looks at you
(7) Arilou: (Ok cool)
(6) Lae'nial: (What, hunin got killed?)
(9) GM: (I foget what it's name was exactly, same one as before)
(6) Lae'nial: (Bad joke)
(9) GM: Raknar speaks. "I think you have proven yourself. Now, if you are pepared to accept, I have more need oif your help. Do this and I will reward you"
** (7) Arilou gives Raknar the "eye" **
(7) Arilou: What do you need?
(6) Lae'nial: (Weren't we promised a reward for the previous quest?)
(9) GM: OC: I may be wrong, but I think that one was a test
(9) GM: "Apart from my farms I also own a silver mine. Recently It stopped delievering ore. I sent one of my advisors to investigate but he has not returned. I want you to go to the mine and discover what ahs happened to him"
(7) Arilou: That sounds reasonable
(6) Lae'nial: "I presume we are also to provide needed assistance."
(7) Arilou: We will need direction to this mine, and any information you might have on the mines history
(9) GM: I shall provide you with the way before you leave.
(9) GM: "AS for the mine. It is only a few decades old. Recently it started to give up less and less. I ordered it to be dug deeper. Then a week ago it stopped all together and I ahve not heard from the foreman since. Is ent my advisor with a few of my men, but he also has not talked contacted me since
** (7) Arilou nods **
(7) Arilou: We need rest
(7) Arilou: It might be best if we leave in the morning
(9) GM: "of course, If something has happened to him I am sure one more night will not matter"
(7) Arilou: (OC: Am I the only one here?)
(1) Chtkrilktha: (No. I dont have anything to add)
(6) Lae'nial: (Nope. Don't have anything to say.)
(9) GM: OC: I think that will do for now, I ahve a few things to do, and next time I will make sure to turn up on time
(7) Arilou: (heh)
(7) Arilou: Sounds good to me
(7) Arilou: (on a side note: how big is this town we are in?)
(6) Lae'nial: (Next time, I'll try to turn up on time.)
