In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 43):

"Thank ye very much.  That is most kind of ye."

In reply to Warwick (msg # 44):

Warwick and Korial go off to a room to work on spells.

Shorty is still fixated on the wilderness.

Aztar watches him and Morteft, giving Morteft a slightly quizzical look.

Artharlian continues to laugh, *snort*.

Dualis converses with his lab manager.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 45):

Morteft sighs. "We should get going or is there something we can do?"

'Are there any specific items I should make?  I was going to make the rusting potion but if the golems are mithril and adamantine, then it won't be of much use.  I can work on a planar lock item to make sure we don't get separated, but beyond that I'm just not sure of any specific item that might help.'

'I can figure out the best way to load chest and would be ready to leave after potions and items are complete.'

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 34):

Shorty sees the forest and mutters "Lady's House.  Drud always say bees good an ken comes here.  Maybes elf lard bees here too."  Shorty steps forward into the wood and reaches for a tree to say thanks."

Ooc.  Sorry a little slow moving my fiancée from Kansas to Vermont

In reply to Shorty (msg # 48):

OOC: Congrats, Larry on the engagement! No worries, I figured you were busy.

Morteft says, "If there will be more time, then I might make something too or maybe more scrolls."

In reply to Shorty (msg # 48):

OOC: Yes, congrats

Shorty walks thru the door and to the nearest tree.  It is close to 6' across and over 100 feet high.  The tree doesn't respond.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 50):

Shorty pours some of his water at the base of the tree enforce leaving.  "Be gift fer unicorn lady."

In reply to Shorty (msg # 51):

The water disappears into the ground as the roots suck up the water.  "That is very kind of you."  says a deep voice, somewhere in the forest.

--DM2

In reply to Morteft (msg # 49):

Dualis:"Do you have any item in mind you may want to create?"

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 53):

Morteft says, "Maybe an ioun stone or a magical helm. Something like that."

In reply to Morteft (msg # 54):

Dualis:"I have not made a study of those actually.  Do you have one you do not really need?  I can use it to break down the properties and then reverse magik it.  What kind of helm did you have in mind?"

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 55):

Morteft shakes his head. "No, but I have seen them before and know what they can do. As for helms, I was thinking either one of brilliance or telepathy. I think the brilliance would be nice offensively but very expensive."

In reply to Morteft (msg # 56):

Dualis:"Hmm, yes either one would take some time.  Brilliance would take the most time, effort and expense.  I hate putting on all those gems.  Telepathy I think is unnecessary given the items you have already.  Do you have any other ideas, I'm guessing you have about 1 month to work on the item before you depart."

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 57):

"Maybe one of teleportation then?" he says.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 52):

Shorty looks up in surprise at the voice.  He quickly sniffs the air for a scent he recognizes.  "Be right ta honers Lady.  Her teach take care a trees.  Me lives long time in woods.  Be portent.  Who you bees?  Me be Shorty"

In reply to Morteft (msg # 58):


Dualis: "Well, I think that is doable; but it will not help you on this quest as you will not be able to teleport once at the complex."

--DM2

In reply to Shorty (msg # 59):

"Ahh, then Lady is a wise and noble women and you have learned well."  says the voice
Shorty sniffs around but there is only the smell of the forest in late morning.  Then he hears a rustling from where the voice seems to come.  A tree is moving toward Shorty, about 30' away.   "I am called Hicks, guardian of this forest.  You are a friend of Dualis."  the last bit is more statement then question but Shorty might not pick up on the subtle difference.

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 60):

Dualis will have Xeztel help Morteft create a helm of telepathy.  "We have all the necessary ingredients to create the helm, it should be done before you are ready to leave."  says Dualis

Shorty is still in the 'floating' door.  I am assuming Aztar is figuring out what he can load in the trunk.

Warwick and Korial work on scrolls.

OOC: Keith, let me know what cleric scrolls you want to make.


--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 61):

Shorty shrugs.  "Bees nice meet youse.  Me called Shorty.  Dullis bees ok.  Him bees Bert bossy.  Thinks him so smarts.  Drud tells bouts talkin tree afor.  Me never sees.  How you walks?  Me always listen lady.  Me gots medal.  Gonna be Lady'S night some days I'd bees good."

Aztar was waiting to see Joe, but shorty got distracted and then Aztar also got a bit distracted...

In reply to Shorty (msg # 63):

"I walk by moving my roots like you move your feet.  It is quite an honor to be a green night.  Hello Shorty, are you here to help?"

--DM2

In reply to Aztar (msg # 64):

Aztar walks over to the door to Joe's room.  He opens it.  It is a bight room with simple furnishings, a small table and chairs.  The walls are colored a light blue, on one wall is a mural of of a lake and forest at the foot of a mountain.

Joe sits in the chair, just looking at the mural.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 62):

OOC:  I'll try to check tomorrow when I'm home and can consult a list of clerical spells.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 65):

Shorty shrugs.  "Me was lookin fer joe ta give present cause him sad.  But me kin helps.  What want me do?  Ken me see root move?  Youse knows how ta be night?  Drud n elf lard say be think ta do cause me posed ta takes care things Lille Dan me.  But dem not say hows ta do.  Just gives pretty neck chain."
