"The Stranger and His Horse" | Baldwin, Philip, Acid Sugar
Adventurer's Outpost, Evening after Game 2
Drew06/06/2019
In the distance Donindor and the Sheriff are seen walking to the entrance of the camp where they pause to talk. Donindor has a
staff in hand and appears to be leaving the camp.
Drew06/07/2019 After the sheriff and Donindor discuss things for a couple of minutes, Donindor turns and heads West out of camp. The sheriff lingers for a minute wishing that he could do more to help then turns and head back into camp.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 A man enters camp atop a tall horse, passing Donindor. He waves but continues without stopping. He rides up to the sheriff (the sheriff will recognize him as the man who claimed the stolen sack the other day). “Salutations my good man.” (his accent is Vachelous) “Dare I ask that Donindor must have particular good reason for leaving so early, ahead of the party too?”
Drew06/07/2019 The Sheriff replies to the man, “Donindor has a brief errand to attend to. He’ll be back before sun up.” “I’m afraid that if you’ve come for the quests you may be disappointed over these next few days. Donindor will be gone and if I’m right, the camp won’t quite as populated. I’ll be here and I’m sure travelers will continue to pass through along with our typical merchants.” “If you haven’t eaten dinner, the tavern is still serving.”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 "I’ve no errand nor quest to run greater than the one Elyon has given me. I certainly wish the brave to remain in His keeping."
Drew06/07/2019 “A follower of Elyon. We share that in common. Do you speak of a quest that He has given you specifically or that which he has for all His followers?”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 "A quest for me that I hope many will choose to follow...at the appointed time."
Drew06/07/2019 “Do tell, if you are at liberty to disclose.”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Laughs. "I suspect you will learn a great deal of it in time. Perhaps at a later date, for my steed is weary and I am tempted by the aromas of this lovely towns kitchens."
Drew06/07/2019 “Very good kind sir. I’m sure you will not be disappointed by the cooking there. Have a good evening.”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Man kicks his horse, nods at the sheriff "And blessings unto you!" He strides his horse up to the tavern inn, dismounting. "Time to acqauint myself with the locals." Sees Maki's poster. "This can't be the sheriff's, it bears no official seal. Signed by a Guardian of Ashnew? Meet at zee arena?" ..... His horse is a handsome chestnut with a white star and muzzle. [The stranger is] in the tavern and ...he is friendly, striking up conversation with random strangers.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Acid appears from her tent and sees the horse nearby and slowly approaches it so it can see her. “Hi there, sweetie.” Puts out hand for the horse to smell.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Horse greeting. Sniffs, then takes nose out of her hand.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Pets its forehead and thinks, Hello I am Sato! What is your name?
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 I'm tired, is what the stallion seems to say.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Awww you poor thing. Would you like some water, maybe a massage?
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 I’ll see if I can find some. She goes into the tavern.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Owner nearly bumps as he exits. "Pardon me Madamoiseile." Tips an invisible hat
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “Oh my apologies! You’re quite alright!” Notices the tavern is almost empty. “Do you happen to be the owner of that beautiful stallion?”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Speaks to the horse. “Did you hear that, Philip! The Madamoiseile says you’re beautiful!” Back to Acid. “There is no place in Ashnew unmarked by our footsteps.”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “So you are wonderful! Well he seems to be wanting some carrots and if it was alright with you it would be my treat!” Laughs. “No pun intended!”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “A clever word play! But...how do you know he wants carrots? Wait...do not tell me, it is clear from your apparel you hail from Akihide! Such a strangely appealing land, though I have only visited once and it was brief.”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “Yes I am! The names Sato! But I go by Acid Sugar! Many of us have different talents and mine is being able to communicate with animals, soooo he told me!” Laughs joyfully. “But I have learned their body language as well since I’ve grown up around horses so that helps too!”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Eyes question, “Sato? Acid Sugar? You rule Akihide?” Random person from tavern shoves past them. Owner: “Apologies sir, here Acid, why don't you retrieve the carrots and meet me at the stable over there.”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Winks. “Yup! Alright see ya soon!”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “Come Philip!” Unties.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Goes inside the tavern to the front to ask for carrots.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Philip: So hungry.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 She receives them and pays and leaves to go to the stable.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Owner is busy unpacking and grooming.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “I’m back!”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “Ahhh! Please, be my guest! Philip! Let the Madamoiseile feed you now.”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “Heya Philip!” Snaps one of the carrots in half and lays it in her palm flat and raises it to Philip.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Philip refuses. Small end in first, bites get bigger and tastier starting on that end. Owner: “Careful Acid, he is picky.” Philip nips for the small end.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Teasingly. “Ooo sounds like someone is spoiled.” Laughs. Gives him the other half.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Don't deprive a starving stallion of his pleasantries! Takes it, but shoots it on the ground.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Breaks another carrot and give him the “good side.”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Owner: “Philip! The nerve! Why the Madamoiseile was kind enough to feed despite our early acquaintance. Take it now you hear!”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “Very picky I see, Mister.” Laughs.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Philip apologetically reaches for "the bad side." Munches it.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “People always think horses are big dumb animals but they’re so intelligent and have such big personalities!” Smiles, stroking Philip’s forehead with other hand.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “It is strange that elves seem to appreciate that fact more than the average man, despite how much more men utilize them.” Retrieves belongings after finishing grooming.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “The difference is most men see them as tools rather than living creatures with feelings as elves do. I can tell you care deeply for your horse though, so that makes me happy.”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “In Vachelous, there is talk that our scientists will soon make horses irrelevant with new weapons and means of transportation...I would never replace Philip with such irreverent machines.” “I say they are liars.”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “Hmmm... that is very strange. I enjoy their company on my travels, so I agree with you.” “I actually have one of my horses here with me a few stalls down!”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “You hear that, Philip! The Madamoiseile has someone she would like you to meet!”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 She walks down a few stalls and a red colored Arabian mare sticks her head out at the sound of her voice. “This is Red Velvet, but I just call her Velvet for short!” Strokes Velvet’s nose. Gives her a carrot too.
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “Ahh! So magnificent!” Drops belongings.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Takes her out of her stall and brings her over for Philip and his owner to meet. "Aww thank you! I’ve raised her and trained her myself!"
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “Philip...say hi!” Philip forces his head up, his exhaustion betraying his attempt at good manners, Hello...velevet.
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 Velvet nickers and blows air at Philip’s muzzle in greeting. Velvet: Hi Philip!
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 Head zilts back down, Arrghh! Is it time for sleep yet...sorry, sorry... Owner: “Forgive him, our journey was long.”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “Oh, don’t worry! He’s probably exhausted, we’ll let him rest. I’m going to groom Velvet and go for a quick ride.”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “It is just as well, I should retire also...good evening to you, Acid! And to you as well, Velvet!”
Swirling.Kirin06/07/2019 “Good night! Hope you both rest well!”
Yankee Samarai06/07/2019 “Oui oui! We shall!” Gathers belongings and walks off to the tavern.
