Basala *DEPRECIATED*

OOG: A thought just occurred to me, Voas is still in the forest. So I'm going to make him trapped in his house until we kill the crazy druid. So in the mean time I'm going to make another character, and I think this character is going to be an interesting one. I will role play him in a little bit.

In-Game:
"Hello again." Styx says.

Syrita gives Stu an impish smile. "Mmm. Nice to hear." She rifles through her bag. "I got you something," she says, producing a decorated dwarven mug. She tosses it to him.

After watching Stu's reaction, she turns and acknowledges Styx. "And greetings to you." She smiles and turns to Stu again.

Stu's eyes widen as he catches the mug. He grins as he addresses everyone in the shop.

"You see, this is how you treat a dwarf."

He brings his attention back to Syrita. "Thank you very much." He pauses. "Now all I need is some non-piss poor beer to put in it."

He takes some time to examine it further. "By Moradin, you people need to learn to be more like her."

"I like being me, and if you want a gift ask."

"I want a gift." Stu says sternly.

Syrita beams.
"So, how goes life in these lands?" She takes a seat on the countertop, pulling more foreign (but much less impressive) items from her bag: a child's ring for Dahlia, a decorated paintbrush for Mots, and a few pieces of Gnomish jewelry and trinkets for the others. "Sorry that I don't have much else that's special- I was visiting my homelands, and there's nothing of much use to the rest of you big ones there."


OOG: I don't really have a record of my cash anymore, but if I get to play in person eventually I'll take the cost of the presents out of my money.

Styx summons a skeleton then rips off its femur. He pushes the skeleton to the side and places the bone in front of
Stu, "Here you go." Styx then takes a seat.

Stu grunts, "Its so boring here. The beer sucks, the people are annoying, everything here is a shithole. Take me with you next time, please." He frowns.

He starts inspecting his mug again.

"You should join a guild. That's what I did."

Stu looks at the femur bone.

"It'll do."

He reiterates to Syrita. "Yeah, the people here..." in a droning tone.

"Well I gotta go somewhere I will be back later." Styx then leaves the store and the temperature rises a bit but it still remains cold in the shop.

"Tsk. That isn't very nice to say. Not all of your comrades are unpleasant for company." She inspects the flute for a moment, makes a face, and sets it aside. She pulls out her old lute and begins to strum quietly. "Regardless, some time may pass before I leave again- even musicians rest once in a while." She strums a little while while she thinks.

She stares at the ceiling, smiling, and speaks quietly to herself. "Though I could certainly find a way to make your time stuck here a little more enjoyable..."

Stu chuckles.

"Please, by all means stay. It'll be nice to have someone of your caliber around."

"Ah, I was merely implying that it would be a while before you'd join me on a wandering. But I'd love the company sometime. I'd invite you for drinks here if they weren't so "piss-poor.""

Syrita brings herself out of the exchange, suddenly remembering that there are others in the room. "Really now, anything interesting happen?" She looks around. "I don't see the crazy one."

"I've traveled for decades, it'll be a long time before I call this vacation off." Stu chuckles.

"But there are other ways to adventure in this shithole" He grins.

"Oh? And those?"

"You just have to get a little creative." Stu says, inspecting his new mug.

"Mmhmm..." Syrita looks thoughtful. "I did visit a bar with decent drinks about an hour out. Care for an "adventure?""

"By the gods yes." Stu exclaims.

He glances at Dahlias unconscious body. "People like that don't let me have a good drink."

He grabs his mug eagerly. "Well?" He asks. "Lead on."

Syrita sets the small ring atop Dahlia's head and gathers up her things. She glances over her shoulder at Stu. "Were I you, I might consider packing a change of clothes." She grins and starts out the door.

Stu places the cat next to Dahlia's limp body.

"Err.... Stay" He says holding his palms out.

He gathers his things and hurriedly follows Syrita out the door.

As Syrita and Stu leave the store, a mysterious thing wonders into the store. Its skin is so black that you can't tell where its legs end and its shadow begins. Its body has a shadowy fire outline its body. It has no features, it is completely black. Its only noticeable feature is its luminescent eyes. It wonders into the store seeming lost and confused.

OOG: This guy could become my new favorite.

Urijoshi looks up from her meditations. "Um, can I help you sir or madame?"

The creature says nothing in return. Still walking around confused. It looks like 'It' is shy.

OOG: 'It' will talk to you the next time you speak to 'It'. 'It' is just shy right now, it will fade.
