DMMatt: Looking back upon the carnage of the Gremlin traps...
DMMatt: Fram is all but severely shaken. It is all you can do to keep him in check and calm him down...Asha and Silver respectively take turns helping the Gnome cope with his recent brushes with Death
DMMatt: Silver notes the earrings on Gur
Gur the Ogre: These?
** Gur the Ogre points to her dull grey metal earrings **
Nainnodel: where did you get the earrings?
Gur the Ogre: Jost make
** Jost the Ogre nods **
Jost the Ogre: You like?
** Nainnodel whispering to the others that the earrings are rularon **
Nainnodel: very much, what are they made of?
Jost the Ogre: they made of Met-al?
** Nainnodel smiles **
** Jost the Ogre looks at you quizzically **
Nainnodel: metal from around here or from where your clan is from?
** Jost the Ogre then points past you as you note an Elven woman huffing and puffing - makes her way up the booby trapped cliff **
** Nainnodel looks to see who it is **
** Jost the Ogre smiles **
** Jost the Ogre likes Elfs **
Jost the Ogre: it is...she falls and goes to sleep
Nainnodel: she is with us, be careful around her she is damaged in the head
Nainnodel: she is like a child now
** Jost the Ogre nods **
Jost the Ogre: ok
Jost the Ogre: So...what you eat tonight?
Nainnodel: so Jost why did your clan send you up here?
** Jost the Ogre points to his family/Clan. **
Jost the Ogre: this my clan
Jost the Ogre: Drux
Jost the Ogre: Nisk
Jost the Ogre: Bruz
** Nainnodel looks around to see what can be made for dinner **
Jost the Ogre: them my childs
Jost the Ogre: Gur my mate
Nainnodel: Are you a famous clan?
Jost the Ogre: me leader
Moira: Hmm...
** Jost the Ogre smiles at the question **
** Jost the Ogre nods at Nain **
Nainnodel: Im not real up on my ogre clan hierarchy
Jost the Ogre: You hear of me right?
Nainnodel: Are you a rich clan?
** Jost the Ogre thumps his chest **
Jost the Ogre: no
** Jost the Ogre smiles from ear to ear **
Jost the Ogre: you make me rich?
Nainnodel: would you like to be ...
** Jost the Ogre nods **
Nainnodel: maybe ....
** Gur the Ogre looks at you sceptically and swats Jost **
Nainnodel: nah its askin too much
Jost the Ogre: Gur go!
** Melian huffs and puffs to catch her breath a bit more **
Moira: Where is this line of questioning going Nain?
** Jost the Ogre stomps up to Nain **
Jost the Ogre: What you say?
** Nainnodel pardons herself for a moment of indulgence **
Nainnodel: aside to her partners
DMMatt: Gur heads into the cave with the rest of her brood. She looks back scowling at you all, then disappears around a bend
Nainnodel: "well we need to get the mining rights for this area, and we cant remove the ogres ourselves"
Nainnodel: "so lets level with them, Im sure we could work an agreement out with them and the humans"
** Jost the Ogre tries to listen nonchalantly (for an Ogre) **
Nainnodel: "if the metal is that Important Im sure they will indulge the ogres"
Moira: Hmm...
Jost the Ogre: tries a Skill[1d20.dc(?,?)] -> [14,2] = (16) vs DC 20 Failure!
Moira: Uncommonly diplomatic of you Nain...
Nainnodel: well its either that or feed them a poisoned Silver
Nainnodel: wait thats not a half bad idea ...
Moira: Hey!
Melian: sounds *huff* good to me *puff*
Melian: the first idea i mean
Moira: Melian?!
Melian: *huff*
Moira: By Reann... what have I gotten myself into...
** Melian smiles **
** Jost the Ogre looks at the uncommonly spent Elf **
** Nainnodel turns back to Jost and smiles **
Melian: you should have been to the festival
Jost the Ogre: Who you?
Melian: it was fun!
** Nainnodel motions to Jost about Melian being "off" **
Moira: Let's try it your way Nain, the first plan...
Melian: I'm Melian, please to meet you
** Nainnodel takes the vial of poison out of Silvers mouth and pouts **
** Melian smiles to the nonchalant ogre **
whispering to Nainnodel, cute, he'll LOVE reading that!
Nainnodel (whispering): heh thats why i did it :)
Nainnodel: So Jost....
Nainnodel: here is the deal; the metal you made the earrings out of
** Jost the Ogre grins as the pretty Elf Girl makes conversation politely before attacking him - as is usually the case with strangers **
** Jost the Ogre turns to Nain **
Jost the Ogre: mhmm?
Nainnodel: is valuable to "humans"
** Jost the Ogre grins **
Nainnodel: Im sure they will pay if there is a lot of it in your clan's domain. Its valuable enough that if they would kill for it, but neither of us wants that
Jost the Ogre: met-al.
** Jost the Ogre nods **
Nainnodel: so maybe you make deal with the humans they come up and look for it and you guard them while they work and they pay you in gold and in food?
** Jost the Ogre thumps his chest and pats Nain on the shoulder - clipping it with enough force to topple you to your butt **
Jost the Ogre: Food and Gold
Jost the Ogre: yesss
Jost the Ogre: GUR!
Melian: wow, what a great plan
** Nainnodel dusts herself off **
DMMatt: With that Jost rips the earrings from Gur's ears and she screams and beats him
Nainnodel: (heh)
DMMatt: After the thrashing, Jost; bruised beyond belief yet still clutching those earrings, hands them over.
Moira: Oh Reann give me strength...
DMMatt: You get lots of food and gold?
** Nainnodel bows and takes the earings **
Nainnodel: well we still need to talk to them but ...Ill give you a down payment to show good faith least on the gold only food we have is Silver :p
** Jost the Ogre nods and looks at the Druid smacking his lips **
Moira: Hmm...
** Nainnodel judges the weight of earings against gold **
Jost the Ogre: roll an Appraise Nain
Nainnodel: [1d20+2] -> [17,2] = (19)
DMMatt: (You figure the amount of Rularon here is worth roughly 50 Gold Lions. The weight compared is about 20 Lions
** Nainnodel gives them 20 lions **
** Jost the Ogre winks at Nain **
Jost the Ogre: You be mate?
Jost the Ogre: new mate?
Nainnodel: pound for pound, fair trade
Moira: Hah!
Jost the Ogre: Mate?
** Moira snickers **
Melian: oh, my...
** Jost the Ogre eyes Nain up and down **
** Jost the Ogre leers **
** Nainnodel blushes **
Jost the Ogre: Ha ha
** Jost the Ogre joke **
Jost the Ogre: You too skinny and ass not big enough
Melian: oh, my...
Jost the Ogre: (his common/Rhaya is passable that you understand
** Nainnodel says something in Lugro **
** Jost the Ogre looks at the others. **
** Jost the Ogre 's eyes grow bigger and Jost blushes immediately **
Nainnodel says that she isnt sure that he could keep up with a mistress of the pleasure maiden and then shows teeth
** Jost the Ogre 's eyes grow bigger and Jost blushes immediately again **
Moira: Erm... I don't like this Melian...
Nainnodel: So Jost ...
Nainnodel: we will eat and then leave in the morning
** Jost the Ogre looks scared and runs into the cave... **
Jost the Ogre: OK
Nainnodel: we will tell humans you will take gold for your metal
** Jost the Ogre disappears too **
Nainnodel: and then they will come
** Nainnodel laughs **
Nainnodel: something i said ?
DMMatt: Inside the cave entrance
Moira: what DID you say?
Nainnodel: something about your breeding
DMMatt: It is an irregularly shaped plateau. There is a disgusting odour coming from a cook pot hanging upon a large tripod. The rails have come up to this slope and continue on past the entrance and beyond sight. It is getting a bit windier as the sky begins to darken and the small trees fighting to survive in barely any dirt fling to and fro from their roots.
Moira: Well then... now what?
Nainnodel: well we rest
DMMatt: Inside the cave there are 3 passages
Nainnodel: we try to keep you all live and then head back for town or maybe we look at the 3 passages heh
Melian: 3 passages? was this here before?
Moira: I wonder where Asha is...
** Nainnodel shrugs, who knows reminds Melian that we just got here **
DMMatt: Asha and Silver are taking care of Fram the Surveyor
** Fram the Gnome gets up finally healed fully **
** Fram the Gnome whips out his parchment and quill pen **
Moira: Well Fram, you'd better get to work so that Scary Lady doesn't tan your hide when we get back...
Nainnodel: Fram do me a favour, let me have a piece of the paper and pen
Fram the Gnome: Y-yes...
Fram the Gnome: o-ok.
** Fram the Gnome hands Nain a piece of parchment **
Melian: are we going to split up?
Fram the Gnome: N-no!
Fram the Gnome: I won't go i-in
Fram the Gnome: th-then
** Nainnodel sits down and writes up a simple contract regarding the metal and the ogres and the town of Norek and about getting her 20 gold back from the ministry of magic **
Nainnodel: where did those ogres run off too?
Melian: oh, i thought you were going to try to map the place yourself, Nain
** Fram the Gnome smirks **
Nainnodel: nah you think we could go back and tell them yeah we made a deal with some ogres we swear
Fram the Gnome: I can do a passable job, myself - y-you j-just go get im
Nainnodel: just go get the metal from them?
Moira: If worse comes to worst we could always get the city guard to come clear out the ogres...
Nainnodel: yeap
Melian: but, this is their home
Moira: but, they're ogres...
Nainnodel: but they are nice for ogres they didnt eat Silver
Melian: and do you honestly think that none of the guards will get hurt if they try to fight them?
Fram the Gnome: LOOK!
DMMatt: Fram is all but severely shaken. It is all you can do to keep him in check and calm him down...Asha and Silver respectively take turns helping the Gnome cope with his recent brushes with Death
DMMatt: Silver notes the earrings on Gur
