"I-I... Kolson, thank you. I really should have gotten you something in exchange."
As the party reaches the outskirts of Al-Korinth, stretches and yawns audibly. The trek hadn't been long, but it was too hasty to be comfortable, and the exhaustion was catching up. "I can't wait to sleep in a proper bed!"

[quote="Kolson Wezrae"]When everyone is back together, Kolson walks up to each party member and begins handing out gifts and making conversation. He's extremely curious about their experiences at the Spacial Temple.
Not wanting to appear rude, Gwydo graciously accepts the fine gift. "Thank you Kolson, that is very generous of you. I however did not participate in the trials. Being a paladin of Life, I felt it would be......... inappropriate to engage in the practices of another temple. However, if we ever stop by the Temple of Life I will absolutely be looking into any potential 'trial' they may have" he ends smiling.
"I will keep this in my pack" he says. "If I trade up my shield, I wouldn't want to have to try and remove it."
Then loudly enough for the gathered group to hear, "The downside of adventuring, always getting new gear!" He laughs and pats Kolson on the back as he moved on to the next member of the party.
- Gwydo:
- "Hi Gwydo, how did your trial go? I got you a gift. I hope you like it." He hands you a shield decal of the sigil of the 8 elements combined with 8 spaces for each temple decal plus the spacial decal in its proper place.

Rory raises an eyebrow at the phrase printed on the shirt in his hand. "Um...thanks..." He smiles weakly, unsure of how else to respond, and continues on, feeling a bit awkward for a moment. His expression returns to one of pondering.Kolson Wezrae wrote:"Here Rory, I had this shirt made for you. I hope you like it." He hands you a shirt in your size that says "FREE STARES".

They finally arrived at their destination. The other member of their adjunct was supposed to be waiting for them in this town. But Zeiss couldn't contact the Executor and ask him where they should go since Higaide had taken the piece of copper from him.
"Hey Higs. We should ask the Executor where the other member of our adjunct is waiting for us."
Zeiss liked the horse he bought at the Spatial Temple, he didn't have to walk anymore and he could stock his items in the sacks, like the shirt Kolson had given him. The only thing he thought about saying at that moment was a short "Huh... thanks" and nothing else. It seemed like Kolson wanted to please everyone, which Zeiss could understand while feeling awkward about it. And he didn't forget the amulet the mage weaved for him for free.
To be indebted to someone brought only discomfort to Zeiss.

"Hi Snarg, how did your trial go? I got you a gift back at the temple. I hope you like it." He hands you a T-shirt that reads "SNARG of WILDPAW" and "Ask me how". It has a portrait of Snarg with the first sentence over the top of the picture and the second along the bottom.
"Eh, I ain't thinkin' that temple's all it's crackin' up to be." Snarg says as he takes the shirt and unravels it. He stares at it for a few seconds, cocking his head back and forth several times. "I ain't understandin'."
He turns to Zeiss: "Now ya be wantin' to be tellin' s 'bout what we be doin'? Maybe ya gettin' a priv'te-type room, eh?"

Snarg just asked him what they were supposed to do next.
"I just told Higaide that we needed to find the other member of our adjunct. He or she knows what we must do."

There is another pause. "Over? What's over?" You hear a sound like someone scratching his beard. "Whatever. Your contact is going to be at the Drowned Rat Inn, if they aren't there now they will be soon. Oh and, before you ask, I still haven't gotten word back about your island, I'll let you know when I do."

*He keeps the coin close for a few more seconds, in case it's rude to just hang up or something. But it seems offline now.*
"You all heard that, right?"
*Gives the coin one last look.*
"(Better watch what i say around this thing.)"

before you get time to respond he leaps forward and hugs you, tab steps back and looks a little sad and shy at the same time.
"i didn't think to get you or the other guys anything"
"Hey, don't worry about it. That's what friends are for. It wouldn't be much of a gift if I expected anything in return." He pats you on the back in a friendly manner.
Sethos wrote:At the bottom Sethos takes his present from Kolson, his eyes light up as he gazes on his new pipe.
"Where did you get this? Why did you get this?" Then instead of waiting for an answer he abruptly embraces Kolson in a hug and thanks him profusely.
Laughing Kolson replies, "You're welcome, Seth. I'm glad you love you it!"
Hanuel and Dara wrote:"I-I... Kolson, thank you. I really should have gotten you something in exchange."
Smiling, Kolson replies, "Don't worry about it. You can get me something next time."

It was pretty interesting. I was an older elf living in Holtburg. My sister had gotten a grant to study the elements from HU and my business was going well. We had just opened up a second location you see.
As I was walking to work I came upon an argument between a High Elf and a gnome. I didn't much care for the scene they were making so I decided to investigate. It turned out that the gnome was a renter and was angry that the High Elf couldn't pay up.
I diffused the situation by talking them into coffee and sandwiches. There I found out that the High Elf and his wife were trying to run a coat making business out of the basement of the gnome's tenement.
We then went and took a look at it. The place was a dump and it was obvious from my interactions with the little monster that the gnome was a greedy, petty, shortsighted, slum lord only interested in the bottom line.
I also found out that their business was being destroyed by crushing debt and imperfect tools. I really wanted to help these folks so I offered to take on their debt, move them to a better location, and acquire for them the tools they would need to be successful. In exchange I would be their silent partner and offer them generous repayment options on repaying their debt.
It was an amazing experience and made me realize a few things about what I believe in and why I do what I do.
*It's obvious that the experience touched Kolson deeply.*

Kolson shrugs. Rory obviously didn't understand what he was trying to say, but what can you do? Perhaps Rory would ask him about it later.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Snarg. What exactly happened if you don't mind sharing?
As for the shirt, it is an icebreaker my friend. You are a wise and awesome guy and people don't always see that. Perhaps when they see this shirt they'll laugh and ask you about it. Then the next thing you know, you'll have some new friends. It won't change how you're people are viewed overnight, but it is a start."

Re: Fourth Adventure 03: Trial's End, Al-Korinth, and Z
As you enter the Drowned Rat, you notice it is one of the more frequented inns and bars you've seen so far. The place is packed. When you enter a bit longer you hear a quiet, severe voice calling out to you and notice a small figure shrouded in entirely black standing off to the side, holding neither food nor drink. The thought crosses your mind that they must be sweltering under that cloak in this heat. In fact the closer you draw to the figure the more uncomfortable you feel, just looking at them makes you feel the heat all that much more.
“You’re late. Follow me.”
Taken aback you and several of your party members halt and turn toward the voice quizzically. You notice that not only is the figure wearing a black cloak, but they are also clothed completely from head to toe in thick black cloth. You are able to tell that the figure is either female or a male youth, but the figure’s face is hidden in the shade of the cowl.
“Yes YOU.” The figure turns to the rest of the group. “All of you. Such a varied group, heavily armed and armored, who else would I assume you to be? We have work to do; come on.” The figure turns and marches directly out of the inn and out to town without looking to see if you have followed. When they reach the edge of the oasis within which the town of Al-Korinth resides they makes an abrupt turn to the North. Turning back.
“I’ve made camp. Follow me if you don’t want to eat your dinner cold.”

Rory simply followed the shrouded figure. If he was irritated, it was understandable. They were indeed late, and from the way Crilfu and the "Executor" talked, every tangent and side trip must have a cost to it. Whatever the reason, he would learn why during the briefing, which would come if he was patient.

Brusk and to the point. Not a good start as far as Kolson is concerned but his curiosity was peaked so he followed along without comment. His ears perked up at the mention of food though.

As Gwydo was boarding the horses, he sees the group heading out after a dark figure. "So much for a bed and a hot meal" he says to himself as he reattached the wagon and followed the group out of town.
