"A Question of a Bag of Valuables" | Abiru, Maki, Dr. Beakerson, Nichole, Guiscard
Market Square, Evening of Second Day after Game 1
little song05/30/2019
Figure stumbles into camp.
Small limp.
Long black hair.
Wearing a dusty cloak and travel worn dress.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Still having a heart to heart talk with Squire.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Comes falling out of a tree right in front of new figure. Just lays there. “Mmmm.”
little song05/30/2019 Jumps back with a scream.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 MakI: Raises hand. “I am sorry.” Still on the ground.
little song05/30/2019 “No, I’m sorry.” Very quiet voice. “I should have looked up.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Arrow flies out of nowhere, rather clumsy and unfrightening. It plops next to Maki.
little song05/30/2019 Screams again. Dashing back.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Screams and dashes behind tree. Groans. “We aren't under attack, right? I thought this place was peaceful...ish.”
little song05/30/2019 Staring at the arrow terrified.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Distant voice: "See! I told ya so!" Second voice: "Stupid man! You dragged me out here to help you catch an elf child?"
little song05/30/2019 Watches them. Looks back to the arrow and then them. Carefully skirts the arrow.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 There is wrestling, the second man tries to stop the other from firing another arrow, his bow snaps. Man whimpers, "I'm sorry Me'Ma! I'd nedder shoulda let im come with me, now yer precious Rudolph is notin’ more dan two twigs."
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Comes hobbling in with Hook on his shoulder. Hook makes cackling noise at situation. Crow begins staggering to girl. “Don't be frightened, child…” Freaky grin. “Welcome to Donindor's camp!” Hook: Caws. “Nice place! Good food! Craw.” Maki: Watching the fight from afar like, Wut even.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Still talking to Squire.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Second man: “Take Rudolph to the weapon smith, fool!” First Man: “Whadda you gonna do?” SM: “Clean up your mess.” "I'll get ya ya elf kid! Just you wait!"
little song05/30/2019 She goes to the campfire and warms her hands, and acts like please don’t talk to me.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 She sits in wrong place. "Bonjour! I am an arteest from Vachelous! May I take your profile?"
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Rolls eyes at people. “I don't think I'm safe here.” Hook: “Not Safe. Not safe. Crawwgh.” Crow: Stands there for awhile, surveying the camp.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Dr. Barney Beakerson comes running up. "What's going on here? I thought I heard screaming. Is anybody hurt?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Comes around the corner as well, trying to find the source of the screams.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Knight just watches at a distance, checking out the strangers, making up for the Doctor's lack of security and safety. Random traveler bumps into Maki. “So sorry.” Slips valuables.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Blinks, scooting away and staring at valuables like, OH NO IS THIS STOLEN? Looks at Beakerson. O-O “GOOD QUESTION.”
Time Scholar05/30/2019 Cracking and snapping of branches are heard in the forest near the path. A man—at least someone who seems like a man emerges from the edge. Muttering angrily, he ripped a bramble off of his clothes. Finally clear of the trees, he whispered a word and his stave leapt into flame.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Hears him, ears flick back. “Another one.” Crow: Smiling at all the people, hobbles over to the stranger. “Welcome to Donindor's camp, stranger.” Hook: “Gotta catchum!”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Stares wide-eyed at the flame, taking one step back.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson nearly jumps out of his boots at the sight of this new person. "Whoa! Geez, you really shouldn't sneak up on people like that."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Knight lets slip a tiny smile, the Doctor is amusingly foolish.
Time Scholar05/30/2019 He moved toward the center of the camp, where several people were gathered. He nodded toward the people to address him and moved on cautiously. He quickly slid his hand down the staff and the flame vanished. He settled against the wall of a nearby building—maybe the tavern? I’ll deal with these people later. I’ll find out what is going on in the morning.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Odd creature that one…”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Looks around to see who is there then pauses at the sight of Hook and Crow. “Wait... I remember you!”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Eyes hit Nichole.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "What, is that guy a friend of Sasquatch or something?"
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Smiles at her. “Oh, yes, I know you.” Hook: “Heeeeeealer.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Now knight doesn’t look so wary of the strangers.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Holds out valuables. “Does...anyone want these?”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Pales.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Laughs at Nicole.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson looks over at Hook in disbelief. "What's up with you creep face?"
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Approaches Maki. “I hope you realized he dropped them on you because he was being chased.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: “I'm... uh... sorry if I inconvenienced you... umm... “ Quiet voice. “Earlier…”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Slaps Beakerson on shoulder, "Where are your manners Doctor!?"
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Ow! What? Didn't you hear what he said? He was all like 'Heeeeeealer'."
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: "Oh. Yeah. I guess that makes sense." Looks at valuables with more interest. “Hmm...can I sell them then?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Huffs. “Let me have a look at them.”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Waves stick at Beakerson. “No need to be upset. I just...don't meet many nice healer ladies.” Coughs. Hook: “Gotta catchum! CRAW!” Maki: Hands them to knight cautiously, shrugging.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Stares at Hook and Crow, like she is trying to remember something.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “You'll be glad then you met Nicole rummaging through valuables she is a fine healer.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson is clearly uncomfortable around these characters. "Better watch yourself, bud, before I pound you with my hammer."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Closes one hand into a fist and tries to pull her sleeve down to cover the scar on her arm from the peddler’s dagger. Which doesn't work because she has quarter length sleeves.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “WHAT...the good doctor means to say is that there are lots of suspicious characters in these parts...do be careful.”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Looks at Crow. Says to Guiscard, “You're right about the suspicious part.” Then looks knight clearly in the eye. “So, the stuff. What are you going to do with it?” Crow: Watching Nichole’s sleeves.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Are you...needing any of it?”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: “He gave it to me.” Crosses arms.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Wait, who did?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Tears her eyes off of Crow and Hook and watches Maki.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “The owner will probably come looking for this.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Smiles at Maki. “It's nice to meet you. What is your name?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "Nichole!" tilts head, telling her to stay close.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: “I can give it to him when he does.” Tries to snatch it back.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Pulls back.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Shoots smile at Nicole. “HI. Can you tell him to behave?” “I'm Maki.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Hard stare, eyes go between the two.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "I'm Beakerson, Dr. Barney Beakerson."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Confused by Guiscard’s tone, and misses the hint completely. “He won't hurt you, he is very kind, and a knight.” Smiles at Maki.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “What are you?”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Extends hand to Barney. “Hi.” Smiles at him.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson whips out his sanitizer and sprays Maki's hand.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Amused smile at the scene but also still aware of Hook and Crow.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Ignores Guiscard. Stares at sprayed hands. “Okay.”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Begins shuffling off, one last grin at Nichole. “I think you look like someone I knew once.” Hook: “I see it now! I see it now!”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Where you going in such a hurry Maki?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Looks at Crow, confused. “Really? Have... have you been to Maire Glaise?”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki in distraction moment, suddenly lunges at sir Guiscard to try to grab valuables back.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Stops her cold, hand grabbing throat.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Suddenly sends fire bursts at his face.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Reels back, rubs face.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Whoa, whoa whoa! What in the blimey is going on here?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Spins around. “Guiscard!”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “RUN DOCTOR!” “NICHOLE STAY BACK!”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff hurries over, hand on the hilt of his sword. “What’s going on here? Break it up you two.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Takes a step forward trying to see if he was burned while also holding up a hand to calm Maki down.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Points at Guiscard. ”HE STOLE THAT FROM ME.” “Then grabbed me by the throat!”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Sheriff, Sheriff!" Beakerson waives his arms wildly, "The crazy elf lady is a mean one!"
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Careful, Sheriff.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff looks at Guiscard and asks for an explanation?
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Turns face to show burn mark on right side of his face.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Let me have a look at that Guiscard." Beakerson walks over to examine the knight’s burns.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Passes bag of valuables to sheriff. “She wants that, why escapes me. Let's just apprehend her.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: “Sir Guiscard…” Reaches for her satchel and rummages through for a second then brings out a stone.
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff looks in the bag.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019. Shoves Nichole back.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “Who do these belong to?”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Reacts with shock and confusion, then a look of annoyance.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 The man who dropped those off headed in that direction points toward eastern side of town. To Nichole. “Save your potions, this is not over…” Angry eyes at Maki.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Realizes he is in a zone, so turns to Maki before he turns around. “Why did you do this, child?”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson puts some ointment onto Guiscards burns. "This might sting a little, but it will help."
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “‘Dropped them off?’ Any idea why he gave them up and who did he gave them to? Sounds like I should just hold on to this until he comes back.”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: “I gave them to him to look at and then he just tried to keep them. He's obviously planning to keep them for himself.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Don’t ask it questions, Nichole! Just get to a safe distance.” Grabs Beakerson's arm before he can apply.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Suddenly passes out.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Sheriff we can discuss this later, right now that thing needs to be taken in-” “Don't touch her! Anyone! It's a trick!”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Runs forward and grabs the girl to keep her from hitting her head. “Maki!”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff to Guiscard. “The way I saw it, you had your hand on her neck when she gave you that nasty burn. I’d say the two of you need to cool off.” The Sheriff cautiously squats down to inspect the elf to see if she is breathing.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Ha, that's funny right there." Beakerson chuckles. "See what he did there? Cool off?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Puts her hand on Maki's face.
Drew05/30/2019 Looks back at the others, “What happened to her?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Looks at Beakerson. Just shut up, written on his face
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “She's okay. She just fainted.” Nichole: Frowns. “I think she is overly exhausted.”
Drew05/30/2019 “Does anyone know if she has a room here? Let’s get her up to her room.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "She could be tricking us. She was fine just a second ago."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Guiscard approaches, searches Maki. “No sir! She just now came into town.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Slaps Guiscard's hand.
Drew05/30/2019 “I’ll keep these for now [refers to the bag of valuables]. You get that burn looked at. We’ll deal with this elf when she wakes up.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “Guiscard, leave her be. She is just a child and will do no harm to anyone now. Trust me.” Firm stare.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Hand doesn't flinch from slap. “Where do you think it best we leave her, Sheriff?” Stares back at Nichole.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “I saw her come in with another man. He took a room. I’ll get one of my men to see if he knows anything about her.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: “I'll keep her with me. I can help her.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Sighs. “Doctor Beakerson, if you please…”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Thank you." Applies the ointment to the burn.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “If you would feel better about it, you can put us both in the jail or leave us here.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “I will go search for the man who dropped this off.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Looks at Guiscard with a look of authority, in full on healer/nurse mode. “You need to get your wound fixed, I can help you so it'll be gone instantly, or you will have to risk taking medicinal herbs.” “Sir Guiscard, the sheriff has told you to sit. Let him handle this, you will be of no use to anyone if you aren't at your best.”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “In the little time that I’ve known you I’ve come to believe that you are an honorable man. No one will be locked up tonight, but I’ll ask you to watch your temper and save the fight for tomorrow.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Don't worry Nichole, I've got it taken care of."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Nods at Sheriff.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Looks towards Beakerson and gives a nod of confirmation.
Drew05/30/2019 “I have some plans for tomorrow that will keep people a little more busy until Donindor gets back.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Takes her scarf off and drapes it over Maki, while using her satchel as a makeshift pillow.
Drew05/30/2019 “I think people need the distraction.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "Can't afford distractions," he thinks "There is Pale in the woods."
Drew05/30/2019 “I’d say there are distractions enough going around tonight. I’ll put you to work tomorrow with an old quest that no one has been able to complete yet.” “We shelved the quest a week ago. Perhaps you lot might take on the challenge tomorrow.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Somehow I think if anyone is going to complete it Guiscard is your man to do it and get it done."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Grabs a cloth. “Can someone bring me a kettle of water?”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Hands Nichole his canteen. "Here you go."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “Thank you, Dr.”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff to Nichole, “Can I help you move her?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Rubbing burn mark.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: “No, we'd best leave her here by the fire. I'll stay with her through the night.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson slaps Guiscard hand down. "Don't rub it. Just let the ointment do its job. You'll be fine in no time."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Notices Guiscard rubbing his face.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “Ok. I’ll be on watch nearby. If you need anything, let me know.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “You, come here, right now. No more excuses. You can't help me and not let me return the favor when I can.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Thank you Sheriff.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff scans the camp, nods at Guiscard and heads off.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Hey Sheriff. Just keep an eye out for Sasquatch (the Fenwomple). That guy gives me the creeps."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “That is quite alright Nichole! Perhaps another time I'll call on you. This injury...i'll let it stay awhile. Make my lesson more impactful.” Looking at Maki.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Finishes making what looks like a handful of some fine textured mud and applies some of the mud on Maki's forehead with the cloth on top.
Drew05/30/2019 The sheriff turns, looks back raising an eyebrow. That giant ofe. He won’t hurt anyone, so long as you don’t give him a reason to.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Just making sure Sheriff. Just making sure."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Looks up quickly and stares at Guiscard. “Guiscard, I want to help. I need to. It's what I'm meant to do. You tell me to ask for help when I need it and even when I don't want it. Don't say one thing and not be willing to do so yourself. You helped me, let me help you. That burn is serious and I have the medicine to treat it, so let me, please.”
Drew05/30/2019 “I’m always watching.” The Sheriff smiles and nods, “Good night to you sir. I’ll see you in the morning.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 A stranger says to the sheriff, after he heads off, "Excuse me sir! Have you seen my belongings?" “A sack I lost...a sack of heirlooms.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Nighty night Sheriff."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 To Sheriff. “Thank you, Sir.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff turns to the stranger, glances back at the group around the fire, “You missing something? What exactly are you missing?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 At Nichole, “That is the issue then Nichole...I don't need help right how. So stop asking.” “Err...please.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson turns to Nichole. "Don't worry about Guiscard. I took care of that burn. He'll be alright."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Stranger to the Sheriff: “A horrid fellow came this way with a white bag, should be, filled with various trinkets, wood carvings, utensils, etc.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Stands up and marches over. “You make me so mad sometimes! You push on into my business when I never asked for it, you tell me what to do like I'm your loyal subject and you a king. Yet, when someone does the same to you, you put up a wall. You have so much pride you can't even see when you are pushing people away needlessly.” “Why do you not want to let people help you when they can?!”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Annoyed expression at Nichole. So feisty, he thinks, So, so feisty.
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff asks the stranger if he wouldn’t mind coming over to the group by the fire.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “I know I sound like a hypocrite right now, but so do you by your actions!”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Stranger: At sheriff, "Umm, sure sure! You seem a fine company.”
Drew05/30/2019 “Sir Guiscard, is this the fellow that the bag belongs to?”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “You treat people one way, talk to them another, and then think something altogether different.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Hey, hey, Nichole calm down. He'll be alright. No need to get so upset."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Puts hand on Nichole's mouth and turns to see the Sheriff.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Shocked.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “My apologies. I don’t mean to interrupt.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "No trouble Sheriff." Turns to Nichole. "Save it for later Mademoiselle." Releases her. "I'll meet you with Squire so you can finish lecturing me. Go on now." At sheriff, “Yes?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Face begins to redden from anger. “Fine. Turns on her heel and goes back to tending Maki.” Silently fuming.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “Is this the man that dropped his bag on the Elf?” “He says that he is missing some valuables.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “That is not the man I saw. What say you stranger?” Stranger: “No no! I shouldn't be the one who dropped it.” “My apologies sheriff, I was the one looking for the satchel.” “Perhaps I could prove it to you by naming each item in the bag?”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “How did you lose it? Yes that would help. Tell me what exactly you are missing.”
Drew05/30/2019 “Was it stolen or did you misplace it?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “My tent is just a mile from this exact spot, near the waterhole, but yes it was stolen. It disappeared as I was packing up camp.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff turns to Guiscard and asks, “Do you know anything about this? Have you met this man?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Never.” Stranger: “But anyways, it should contain a large wooden box with an inverted bevel pattern, a carved wooden horse, some silver utensils, a dagger, sheathed, missing half the crossguard, and some string, leather mats.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff inspects the items in the bag while the stranger describes them.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Each item and more is there.
Drew05/30/2019 “Looks like it’s your lucky day sir. It seems that somehow your possessions have made it back to you.” The Sheriff hands the bag to the man and says, “If you find out who stole your things, let me know right away.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Of course!” Polite bow. “I am indebted to you both! Walks off happily with his satchel.”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “Well, hopefully that matter is settled. Although I fear we haven’t seen the last of whoever is responsible.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “There is enough going on around here. I hope indeed that is the end of that.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "I wonder how Maki ended up with all that stuff?" Beakerson asks walking up to them.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Guiscard is impressed with his observation skills.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “I’d like to hear that straight from the elf. I’ll be certain to have a chat with her in the morning. I bid you gentlemen goodnight.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “You as well.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff turns and heads off.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "Now...seems I owe a chat with one who scolds me like a mother."
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "Strange Doctor...I'd thought you were the man who would find like company here."
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Is that a shot smart guy?" Bearkerson seems offended.
little song05/31/2019 And the black haired girl watches all this hiding in a corner by the fire. Once her face changes when they talk of doctors and healers, but for the most it is a blank wide eyed observation. Then she dusted herself off and begins to walk out of camp quietly.
To be continued...
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Still having a heart to heart talk with Squire.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Comes falling out of a tree right in front of new figure. Just lays there. “Mmmm.”
little song05/30/2019 Jumps back with a scream.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 MakI: Raises hand. “I am sorry.” Still on the ground.
little song05/30/2019 “No, I’m sorry.” Very quiet voice. “I should have looked up.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Arrow flies out of nowhere, rather clumsy and unfrightening. It plops next to Maki.
little song05/30/2019 Screams again. Dashing back.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Screams and dashes behind tree. Groans. “We aren't under attack, right? I thought this place was peaceful...ish.”
little song05/30/2019 Staring at the arrow terrified.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Distant voice: "See! I told ya so!" Second voice: "Stupid man! You dragged me out here to help you catch an elf child?"
little song05/30/2019 Watches them. Looks back to the arrow and then them. Carefully skirts the arrow.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 There is wrestling, the second man tries to stop the other from firing another arrow, his bow snaps. Man whimpers, "I'm sorry Me'Ma! I'd nedder shoulda let im come with me, now yer precious Rudolph is notin’ more dan two twigs."
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Comes hobbling in with Hook on his shoulder. Hook makes cackling noise at situation. Crow begins staggering to girl. “Don't be frightened, child…” Freaky grin. “Welcome to Donindor's camp!” Hook: Caws. “Nice place! Good food! Craw.” Maki: Watching the fight from afar like, Wut even.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Still talking to Squire.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Second man: “Take Rudolph to the weapon smith, fool!” First Man: “Whadda you gonna do?” SM: “Clean up your mess.” "I'll get ya ya elf kid! Just you wait!"
little song05/30/2019 She goes to the campfire and warms her hands, and acts like please don’t talk to me.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 She sits in wrong place. "Bonjour! I am an arteest from Vachelous! May I take your profile?"
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Rolls eyes at people. “I don't think I'm safe here.” Hook: “Not Safe. Not safe. Crawwgh.” Crow: Stands there for awhile, surveying the camp.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Dr. Barney Beakerson comes running up. "What's going on here? I thought I heard screaming. Is anybody hurt?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Comes around the corner as well, trying to find the source of the screams.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Knight just watches at a distance, checking out the strangers, making up for the Doctor's lack of security and safety. Random traveler bumps into Maki. “So sorry.” Slips valuables.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Blinks, scooting away and staring at valuables like, OH NO IS THIS STOLEN? Looks at Beakerson. O-O “GOOD QUESTION.”
Time Scholar05/30/2019 Cracking and snapping of branches are heard in the forest near the path. A man—at least someone who seems like a man emerges from the edge. Muttering angrily, he ripped a bramble off of his clothes. Finally clear of the trees, he whispered a word and his stave leapt into flame.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Hears him, ears flick back. “Another one.” Crow: Smiling at all the people, hobbles over to the stranger. “Welcome to Donindor's camp, stranger.” Hook: “Gotta catchum!”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Stares wide-eyed at the flame, taking one step back.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson nearly jumps out of his boots at the sight of this new person. "Whoa! Geez, you really shouldn't sneak up on people like that."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Knight lets slip a tiny smile, the Doctor is amusingly foolish.
Time Scholar05/30/2019 He moved toward the center of the camp, where several people were gathered. He nodded toward the people to address him and moved on cautiously. He quickly slid his hand down the staff and the flame vanished. He settled against the wall of a nearby building—maybe the tavern? I’ll deal with these people later. I’ll find out what is going on in the morning.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Odd creature that one…”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Looks around to see who is there then pauses at the sight of Hook and Crow. “Wait... I remember you!”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Eyes hit Nichole.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "What, is that guy a friend of Sasquatch or something?"
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Smiles at her. “Oh, yes, I know you.” Hook: “Heeeeeealer.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Now knight doesn’t look so wary of the strangers.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Holds out valuables. “Does...anyone want these?”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Pales.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Laughs at Nicole.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson looks over at Hook in disbelief. "What's up with you creep face?"
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Approaches Maki. “I hope you realized he dropped them on you because he was being chased.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: “I'm... uh... sorry if I inconvenienced you... umm... “ Quiet voice. “Earlier…”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Slaps Beakerson on shoulder, "Where are your manners Doctor!?"
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Ow! What? Didn't you hear what he said? He was all like 'Heeeeeealer'."
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: "Oh. Yeah. I guess that makes sense." Looks at valuables with more interest. “Hmm...can I sell them then?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Huffs. “Let me have a look at them.”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Waves stick at Beakerson. “No need to be upset. I just...don't meet many nice healer ladies.” Coughs. Hook: “Gotta catchum! CRAW!” Maki: Hands them to knight cautiously, shrugging.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Stares at Hook and Crow, like she is trying to remember something.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “You'll be glad then you met Nicole rummaging through valuables she is a fine healer.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson is clearly uncomfortable around these characters. "Better watch yourself, bud, before I pound you with my hammer."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Closes one hand into a fist and tries to pull her sleeve down to cover the scar on her arm from the peddler’s dagger. Which doesn't work because she has quarter length sleeves.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “WHAT...the good doctor means to say is that there are lots of suspicious characters in these parts...do be careful.”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Looks at Crow. Says to Guiscard, “You're right about the suspicious part.” Then looks knight clearly in the eye. “So, the stuff. What are you going to do with it?” Crow: Watching Nichole’s sleeves.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Are you...needing any of it?”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: “He gave it to me.” Crosses arms.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Wait, who did?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Tears her eyes off of Crow and Hook and watches Maki.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “The owner will probably come looking for this.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Smiles at Maki. “It's nice to meet you. What is your name?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "Nichole!" tilts head, telling her to stay close.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: “I can give it to him when he does.” Tries to snatch it back.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Pulls back.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Shoots smile at Nicole. “HI. Can you tell him to behave?” “I'm Maki.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Hard stare, eyes go between the two.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "I'm Beakerson, Dr. Barney Beakerson."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Confused by Guiscard’s tone, and misses the hint completely. “He won't hurt you, he is very kind, and a knight.” Smiles at Maki.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “What are you?”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Extends hand to Barney. “Hi.” Smiles at him.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson whips out his sanitizer and sprays Maki's hand.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Amused smile at the scene but also still aware of Hook and Crow.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Ignores Guiscard. Stares at sprayed hands. “Okay.”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Crow: Begins shuffling off, one last grin at Nichole. “I think you look like someone I knew once.” Hook: “I see it now! I see it now!”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Where you going in such a hurry Maki?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Looks at Crow, confused. “Really? Have... have you been to Maire Glaise?”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki in distraction moment, suddenly lunges at sir Guiscard to try to grab valuables back.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Stops her cold, hand grabbing throat.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Suddenly sends fire bursts at his face.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Reels back, rubs face.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Whoa, whoa whoa! What in the blimey is going on here?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Spins around. “Guiscard!”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “RUN DOCTOR!” “NICHOLE STAY BACK!”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff hurries over, hand on the hilt of his sword. “What’s going on here? Break it up you two.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Takes a step forward trying to see if he was burned while also holding up a hand to calm Maki down.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Points at Guiscard. ”HE STOLE THAT FROM ME.” “Then grabbed me by the throat!”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Sheriff, Sheriff!" Beakerson waives his arms wildly, "The crazy elf lady is a mean one!"
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Careful, Sheriff.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff looks at Guiscard and asks for an explanation?
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Turns face to show burn mark on right side of his face.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Let me have a look at that Guiscard." Beakerson walks over to examine the knight’s burns.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Passes bag of valuables to sheriff. “She wants that, why escapes me. Let's just apprehend her.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: “Sir Guiscard…” Reaches for her satchel and rummages through for a second then brings out a stone.
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff looks in the bag.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019. Shoves Nichole back.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “Who do these belong to?”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Reacts with shock and confusion, then a look of annoyance.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 The man who dropped those off headed in that direction points toward eastern side of town. To Nichole. “Save your potions, this is not over…” Angry eyes at Maki.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Realizes he is in a zone, so turns to Maki before he turns around. “Why did you do this, child?”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson puts some ointment onto Guiscards burns. "This might sting a little, but it will help."
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “‘Dropped them off?’ Any idea why he gave them up and who did he gave them to? Sounds like I should just hold on to this until he comes back.”
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: “I gave them to him to look at and then he just tried to keep them. He's obviously planning to keep them for himself.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Don’t ask it questions, Nichole! Just get to a safe distance.” Grabs Beakerson's arm before he can apply.
Commando Chipmunk05/30/2019 Maki: Suddenly passes out.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Sheriff we can discuss this later, right now that thing needs to be taken in-” “Don't touch her! Anyone! It's a trick!”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Runs forward and grabs the girl to keep her from hitting her head. “Maki!”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff to Guiscard. “The way I saw it, you had your hand on her neck when she gave you that nasty burn. I’d say the two of you need to cool off.” The Sheriff cautiously squats down to inspect the elf to see if she is breathing.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Ha, that's funny right there." Beakerson chuckles. "See what he did there? Cool off?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Puts her hand on Maki's face.
Drew05/30/2019 Looks back at the others, “What happened to her?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Looks at Beakerson. Just shut up, written on his face
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “She's okay. She just fainted.” Nichole: Frowns. “I think she is overly exhausted.”
Drew05/30/2019 “Does anyone know if she has a room here? Let’s get her up to her room.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "She could be tricking us. She was fine just a second ago."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Guiscard approaches, searches Maki. “No sir! She just now came into town.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Slaps Guiscard's hand.
Drew05/30/2019 “I’ll keep these for now [refers to the bag of valuables]. You get that burn looked at. We’ll deal with this elf when she wakes up.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “Guiscard, leave her be. She is just a child and will do no harm to anyone now. Trust me.” Firm stare.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Hand doesn't flinch from slap. “Where do you think it best we leave her, Sheriff?” Stares back at Nichole.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “I saw her come in with another man. He took a room. I’ll get one of my men to see if he knows anything about her.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: “I'll keep her with me. I can help her.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Sighs. “Doctor Beakerson, if you please…”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Thank you." Applies the ointment to the burn.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “If you would feel better about it, you can put us both in the jail or leave us here.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “I will go search for the man who dropped this off.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Looks at Guiscard with a look of authority, in full on healer/nurse mode. “You need to get your wound fixed, I can help you so it'll be gone instantly, or you will have to risk taking medicinal herbs.” “Sir Guiscard, the sheriff has told you to sit. Let him handle this, you will be of no use to anyone if you aren't at your best.”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “In the little time that I’ve known you I’ve come to believe that you are an honorable man. No one will be locked up tonight, but I’ll ask you to watch your temper and save the fight for tomorrow.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Don't worry Nichole, I've got it taken care of."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Nods at Sheriff.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Looks towards Beakerson and gives a nod of confirmation.
Drew05/30/2019 “I have some plans for tomorrow that will keep people a little more busy until Donindor gets back.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Takes her scarf off and drapes it over Maki, while using her satchel as a makeshift pillow.
Drew05/30/2019 “I think people need the distraction.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "Can't afford distractions," he thinks "There is Pale in the woods."
Drew05/30/2019 “I’d say there are distractions enough going around tonight. I’ll put you to work tomorrow with an old quest that no one has been able to complete yet.” “We shelved the quest a week ago. Perhaps you lot might take on the challenge tomorrow.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Somehow I think if anyone is going to complete it Guiscard is your man to do it and get it done."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Grabs a cloth. “Can someone bring me a kettle of water?”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Hands Nichole his canteen. "Here you go."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “Thank you, Dr.”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff to Nichole, “Can I help you move her?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Rubbing burn mark.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: “No, we'd best leave her here by the fire. I'll stay with her through the night.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson slaps Guiscard hand down. "Don't rub it. Just let the ointment do its job. You'll be fine in no time."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Notices Guiscard rubbing his face.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “Ok. I’ll be on watch nearby. If you need anything, let me know.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “You, come here, right now. No more excuses. You can't help me and not let me return the favor when I can.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Thank you Sheriff.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff scans the camp, nods at Guiscard and heads off.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Hey Sheriff. Just keep an eye out for Sasquatch (the Fenwomple). That guy gives me the creeps."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “That is quite alright Nichole! Perhaps another time I'll call on you. This injury...i'll let it stay awhile. Make my lesson more impactful.” Looking at Maki.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Finishes making what looks like a handful of some fine textured mud and applies some of the mud on Maki's forehead with the cloth on top.
Drew05/30/2019 The sheriff turns, looks back raising an eyebrow. That giant ofe. He won’t hurt anyone, so long as you don’t give him a reason to.
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Just making sure Sheriff. Just making sure."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Looks up quickly and stares at Guiscard. “Guiscard, I want to help. I need to. It's what I'm meant to do. You tell me to ask for help when I need it and even when I don't want it. Don't say one thing and not be willing to do so yourself. You helped me, let me help you. That burn is serious and I have the medicine to treat it, so let me, please.”
Drew05/30/2019 “I’m always watching.” The Sheriff smiles and nods, “Good night to you sir. I’ll see you in the morning.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 A stranger says to the sheriff, after he heads off, "Excuse me sir! Have you seen my belongings?" “A sack I lost...a sack of heirlooms.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Nighty night Sheriff."
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 To Sheriff. “Thank you, Sir.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff turns to the stranger, glances back at the group around the fire, “You missing something? What exactly are you missing?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 At Nichole, “That is the issue then Nichole...I don't need help right how. So stop asking.” “Err...please.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 Beakerson turns to Nichole. "Don't worry about Guiscard. I took care of that burn. He'll be alright."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Stranger to the Sheriff: “A horrid fellow came this way with a white bag, should be, filled with various trinkets, wood carvings, utensils, etc.”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Stands up and marches over. “You make me so mad sometimes! You push on into my business when I never asked for it, you tell me what to do like I'm your loyal subject and you a king. Yet, when someone does the same to you, you put up a wall. You have so much pride you can't even see when you are pushing people away needlessly.” “Why do you not want to let people help you when they can?!”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Annoyed expression at Nichole. So feisty, he thinks, So, so feisty.
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff asks the stranger if he wouldn’t mind coming over to the group by the fire.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “I know I sound like a hypocrite right now, but so do you by your actions!”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Stranger: At sheriff, "Umm, sure sure! You seem a fine company.”
Drew05/30/2019 “Sir Guiscard, is this the fellow that the bag belongs to?”
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 “You treat people one way, talk to them another, and then think something altogether different.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Hey, hey, Nichole calm down. He'll be alright. No need to get so upset."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Puts hand on Nichole's mouth and turns to see the Sheriff.
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Shocked.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “My apologies. I don’t mean to interrupt.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "No trouble Sheriff." Turns to Nichole. "Save it for later Mademoiselle." Releases her. "I'll meet you with Squire so you can finish lecturing me. Go on now." At sheriff, “Yes?"
VioletofSherwood05/30/2019 Nichole: Face begins to redden from anger. “Fine. Turns on her heel and goes back to tending Maki.” Silently fuming.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “Is this the man that dropped his bag on the Elf?” “He says that he is missing some valuables.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “That is not the man I saw. What say you stranger?” Stranger: “No no! I shouldn't be the one who dropped it.” “My apologies sheriff, I was the one looking for the satchel.” “Perhaps I could prove it to you by naming each item in the bag?”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “How did you lose it? Yes that would help. Tell me what exactly you are missing.”
Drew05/30/2019 “Was it stolen or did you misplace it?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “My tent is just a mile from this exact spot, near the waterhole, but yes it was stolen. It disappeared as I was packing up camp.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff turns to Guiscard and asks, “Do you know anything about this? Have you met this man?”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Never.” Stranger: “But anyways, it should contain a large wooden box with an inverted bevel pattern, a carved wooden horse, some silver utensils, a dagger, sheathed, missing half the crossguard, and some string, leather mats.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff inspects the items in the bag while the stranger describes them.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Each item and more is there.
Drew05/30/2019 “Looks like it’s your lucky day sir. It seems that somehow your possessions have made it back to you.” The Sheriff hands the bag to the man and says, “If you find out who stole your things, let me know right away.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “Of course!” Polite bow. “I am indebted to you both! Walks off happily with his satchel.”
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “Well, hopefully that matter is settled. Although I fear we haven’t seen the last of whoever is responsible.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “There is enough going on around here. I hope indeed that is the end of that.”
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "I wonder how Maki ended up with all that stuff?" Beakerson asks walking up to them.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 Guiscard is impressed with his observation skills.
Drew05/30/2019 Sheriff: “I’d like to hear that straight from the elf. I’ll be certain to have a chat with her in the morning. I bid you gentlemen goodnight.”
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 “You as well.”
Drew05/30/2019 The Sheriff turns and heads off.
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "Now...seems I owe a chat with one who scolds me like a mother."
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "This place just keeps getting weirder and weirder."
Yankee Samarai05/30/2019 "Strange Doctor...I'd thought you were the man who would find like company here."
ThatGuyOverThere05/30/2019 "Is that a shot smart guy?" Bearkerson seems offended.
little song05/31/2019 And the black haired girl watches all this hiding in a corner by the fire. Once her face changes when they talk of doctors and healers, but for the most it is a blank wide eyed observation. Then she dusted herself off and begins to walk out of camp quietly.
