- Fedler and Saemon:
- Mihai's face goes a little grimm.
"Now for the scary question. How long would it take for the summoner to be able to do it again?"

- For Mihai only:
- Fedler glances at Mihai, while Saemon answers without missing a beat. "For a normal Aspect that has been scattered, which can only be summoned for a limited amount of time depending on the green mage's power, less than hour usually; would need ten minutes before they could be summoned again. For an Aspect with which a permanent binding was made, it would take a full day."
The time is now 1:58 PM, the 29th of April.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
- Fedler and Saemon:
- Mihai considers - "Well, i was just checking. But worst case scenario, we'll still know who to get some answers from. If she's seen this battle, the Oracle will most likely now know we have Breeze, so things might not be entirely stable when we get back. Also..." - he takes a breath before continuing - "If this does go on, our enemies this time won't be animals. They'll be people." - he looks specifically at Fedler - "Just like those poor sods covered in blood back at the woods."

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
- For Mihai only:
- Saemon is considering these words, probably debating over the validity of this theory. As for Fedler, she stares back at Mihai when he focuses is attention on her, and as he mentions the bodies left in the forest, she immediately turns away. She stands a little apart from the two of you, looking into the distance, then declares with a slightly wobbling voice, "For now, I want to go home."
She starts walking again.

- Steve (Mihai read-only):
- "What? I mean, sure, we can do that. What I'm saying is that I have a plan I want to run by you."

- Thank you Rory.
- Konrad:
- That's fine but if we leave the body out for anyone or anything to tamper with or steal we could lose a vital clue. Just saying.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
- the plan already:
- I'm not sure whether the dodgy replies are my fault or yours, but I'm fed up with it, so I'm just going to lay the plan out. This is what Konrad tells you, K feel free to read. This is basically just Konrad conferring with Steve before Mihai.
We're going to trick the oracle into rewarding us for capturing Breeze by preparing Breeze for an escape.
We give Breeze a drawstring sack to put some things in. She gets a knife and a vial of acid. We put her inside a sack of cupcakes(a new one). We hand her over to the oracle, she will likely put her in a cage(which is what the acid is for), and we collect our reward. Breeze will wait until morning to escape and fly to Fedler's home, who will ride on horseback with Breeze(and Breeze's cupcakes, and Yen, most likely) to the Coins outpost in Highwind, while we ride for the abandoned fort. Once Breeze joins the Coins, she's one of their own, and the oracle can't lay a finger on her.
This means we'll have Fedler's people, but not Fedler. Her alibi will be out hunting now that the wolf is gone. She'll have to take a detour back home if she wants to avoid the oracle, who will want to blame someone. The melted cage will tip her off that something's amiss. Breeze should remember to take the knife and the empty vial with her,. and the cage if she can help it. If all goes according to plan, and we put on a good poker face, Lavoie won't suspect us of any trickery whatsoever.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
- observations:
- Just off the top of my head, but:
The question is, how big a knife and acid vial you can give to a creature 6 inches tall, that will go unnoticed. Also, if Lavoie puts Breeze in a sealed container, using the acid will likely kill her. We're also relying on the incompetence of Lavoie, who's already shown a good level of cunning, and her professional gangster bodyguards, and the competence of Breeze, who pretty much has the mind of a child - and all this with us being completely unable to intervene if something goes wrong. And we're also assuming an organization such as the Coins - who are themselves probably hiding something from us in all this mess, by the way, would treat Breeze any better than Lavoie did, and would not just outright sell her to the Oracle for the right price - and that Breeze herself would want to join them in the first place.
Even if it did succeed, Breeze would be cut-off from us. Fedler unable to help. The Oracle would be pissed, because there's absolutely no way she can be that stupid, and we'd still be just as ignorant of this whole mess as we are right now.
If you guys don't mind, we'd probably better discuss this on Steam, later tonight.

- Sorry for the late reply. Why don't we work this out in the OOC thread/Steam before moving on.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
As a reminder to Steve and Konrad, Breeze is flying over them. If asked to leave, she will simply stick her tongue out and continue to fly over you.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
- Edit OOC:
- Actually, after thinking about it some more I've changed my mind. Let's do this Rory!
- Rory:
- "Okay, I'll help. But before we do it let's go get her journal from the crooks. I bet we could find out some juicy information to help with our plan. We'll just keep Breeze out of sight for now."
- Old Post:
- OOC:
- Well, the GM has asked us to move it so I guess I will. You still haven't made your case Rory so sorry.
- Rory:
- "With all due respect that's a dumb plan Konrad. Why would you lie to an Oracle of all people? And one, if she is the cause of all this, that has shown no compunction about murdering innocent people? Let's continue the job and see what her journal says. Maybe it will give us some more insight before we go jumping to conclusions about everything. Hell, it may tell us how she made that wolf thing in the first place and what she actually wants Breeze for."

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
- Steve:
- Assume our OOC revisions of the plan apply to what I told you.
Konrad beams at Steve's acceptance, but his pleased demeanor fades when he mentions taking care of the thieves first. "Well, alright. She doesn't strike me as the impatient sort. We should really get some rest, though."
He stops and turns around, facing the direction they all just came from, and says, "Now then, let's go bag our game, shall we?" with a nonchalant tone in jarring, comical dissonance to the current situation; as if everyone had planned on taking this unnecessary walk before turning around.
- ooc:
- That sack I used for the cupcakes is actually a large sack, like it could fit a body. So, I'm just going to put the cupcakes in my bag of holding, because I only put them in a sack for...reasons.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
- OOC EDIT:
- Just noticed that Konrad seems to have gone towards the wolf's corpse. If you do, *rolls*, none of you finds anything unusual. So I'll just move you back to the village anyway. If you wish to do something to the corpse, just tell me OOC and I'll consider it done.
The whole party enters Waterglass under the worried gaze of the villagers.
Yen comes running from across the plaza, and shouts, "Fedler!". The hunter kneels down to pick her up in her arms, and spins around once. She then kisses the little girl on the cheek, and says, "Hey there. Told you I would be okay."
Irving makes a beeline for Saemon, puts a hand on his back, and asks with a concerned tone, "Are you okay? Your clothes-" The chief interrupts him, a little embarrassed, "I'm fine, I'm fine." The mayor firmly nods, while Saemon takes a look at his humble attire which has indeed been a little roughed from the battle.
Velstar approaches the three of you with a gentle smile on her face. She looks at Steve a little longer than Mihai and Konrad, but finally asks all of you, "Is the wolf dead?"
Breeze has hid herself within Steve's bag.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
- OOC:
- Saemon cast Scan, but as he expects, it reveals only that a ridiculous amount of magic went through this body. So much that it negates any other discovery the spell could have revealed.
A normal examination of the corpse won't reveal anything other than this is flesh starting to rot.

"It was a real team effort but we managed to put the creature down. We almost didn't make it." Steve pitches his voice so that as many people as possible can hear what he is saying. "After I get some rest I'll compose a poem all about it. Why, I'll perform it at the inn for all of you fine people!"

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
Once the villagers hear the news that the cursed wolf has finally been put down, they begin to cheer with a force you wouldn't suspect. Where there was once only worry and fear, there is but joy and relief now that they know things will go back to normal. As for Velstar, she's not showing any sign of surprise, as she probably expected such success. It takes a while, but once the villagers have calmed down a little, they all turn towards the party and begin clapping for them. You can hear quite a few say thank you, and how awesome the five of you are.
Fedler, who is now holding Yen's hand, is undeniably embarrassed by the attention your group is receiving; as for Saemon, he appears more shocked than anything else. Irving chooses this time to approach the three of you, and proclaims with an appreciative tone, "For your help in quelling this threat to our village, the people of Waterglass thank you. You will always be welcome here, and now that it is safe enough to celebrate the spring festival, we hope you will join us for this occasion as our most esteemed guests." The mayor turns towards Fedler and Saemon. "That includes you too."
The hunter faces the party, and with a small grin, she says, "I guess we won't have to wait in line for our meal."

Steve whoops and waves his hand in acknowledgement at the townsfolk, saying things like "Thank you, thank you" and "Remember, come to the inn later to hear all about it."

There's that grin again. Konrad seems to be enjoying all the attention the group was getting, likely as a result of his pandering earlier. "Waxing bardic, eh Steve? I won't miss that, but right now I'm famished. Saemon, Fedler, let's serve ourselves and get a table, we have a lot to talk about."

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
Mihai keeps his mild manners while surrounded by the attention, uttering the words "right", "yeah" and "thanks" as the situation calls for. Once that's done with, he'll try to find the blacksmith.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
The time is now 2:21PM.
Irving has now returned his attention towards the villagers, and is attempting to round them up to discuss the final preparations for the spring festival. Saemon, still a little stunned, answers Konrad, "Huh, the feast won't start until later this evening. We have a couple of hours to kill."
Fedler nods. "Yeah. If you guys are really hungry, we can go to my house, and we'll stop at the bakery on the way. Emma will certainly let us snatch a few plates she prepared for the festival..."
The hunter's gaze turns to Mihai who is now walking away. She approaches him, grabs him by the collar, and pulls him back before he gets too far away. Yen giggles at this sight.
"You are not making a discreet exist," states Fedler.
"He's shy because of the clapping!" adds Yen, still smiling.

Mihai half-stumbles as he's pulled by Fedler.
"Huh huh..." - he acquiesces, in a way that should by now sound familiar.

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
At the mention of food Steve's stomach growls. Loudly. Not missing a beat Steve adopts a faux-posh voice. "My stomach has decided to accept your gracious invitation to sup, Miss, and wishes to inform the lady that I shall attend as its plus-one."

Re: 1st adventure: the Fey one
Fedler do her best to ignore Mihai's wisecrack, and quickly bring him back in line. She would probably retort something appropriately witty, but she stops herself from doing so when she hears Steve's approval, which amuses her and Saemon.
"My stomach also agree," replies the young chief.
"What about you, Konrad?" asks Fedler.

"Of course! Sorry chief, it was a harrowing fight, and these people put on such a welcome. It's good you mentioned the bakery Fedler, I still need to pick up my change. When I heard the howling, I just threw down some gold and grabbed the goods. You said the baker was Emma, right? She was very flustered when I dashed off."
This is just small talk, but who doesn't have time for small talk after such an encounter? They hadn't suffered any loss that would spoil their holiday spirit or sour the mood encouraged by the cheerful welcome they received.
