As the group finishes treasure distribution and talk about what next .. Dualis and Shorty coming from deep in the Library walking toward the group.  Dualis says "Can someone, whose name does not begin with a vowel, summarize what you all were doing on that other world?"

Shorty looks like he has aged a bit, run down.

Ez’ard smiles and gives a wave to Shorty but then the smile turns upside down at Dualis’ statement. He starts to say something but thinks better of it and just sits there.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 2):

Warwick launches into a long story that his player isn't going to type.

In reply to Warwick (msg # 3):

Ez’ard mutters, “And you thought I was long winded.”

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 4):

Morteft sighs and rolls his eyes. "Wow, Warwick, you could be a bit more brief."

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 2):

Shorty finds the biggest and softest looking chair in the room and sort of collapses into it.  He looks more worn and haggard than ever before.  There are no apparent wounds.  The only noticeable difference is that his rather impressive marble bag is missing.  It is the first time amy of you have seen him without it.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 6):

Trysk is asleep in his chair snoring.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 7):

Morteft says, "Does anyone else besides Warwick need to train?"

In reply to Morteft (msg # 8):

Trysk opens his eyes and sits back up. He looks at Morteft, "No training for me, but I need to heal and run a couple of errands."

He turns to the dwarf, "Warwick, how long do ye need ta train?"

In reply to Morteft (msg # 8):

Ez’ard says he’s good to go, no training required.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 10):

Morteft nods. "I also have some errands to run. I guess we should meet back here in a couple of weeks."

OOC: Time to drive the DM insane. :)

Warwick looks at Dualis.  "Oh great teacher, how long do I need?"

In reply to Warwick (msg # 12):

First Dualis listens to Warwick's tale.  He comments "So much for a relaxing time.  I suppose I will need to make some visits, ensure proper civilities are observed in the future."

To Warwick's question "I suppose that depends on how quickly you learn.  Two weeks is somewhat the norm.  Of course with the time dilation rooms, should only be a few days in regards to the others.  Unless you have another .. trip."

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 13):

Trysk stands up and stretches, "Ok, so we're meeting back here in 3 days?"

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 13):

Dualis will look to the rest of the group and say "What about the rest of you, what troubles are you seeking?"

He will turn to Art "The eye is secure?"  and Art replies "Yep, it is in the vault."  "Good good." is the response from Dualis

To Tzar, Dualis says "Sorry you got caught up in their little holiday.  Glad to see you are none the worse for wear.  I would not have cared to explain the situation otherwise."

Tzar nods his head at Dualis "Good was done in the end, that was of import." he gestures to the group "Twas a rough beginning for us but they are a fine group the Lord of Warwick has." he then adds "Is the Captain in residence?" to which Dualis says "I believe he shall be arriving soon."   "Thank you" says Tzar and he sits down at a table.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 14):


Shorty stands as well and nods.  “Three day den we comes back her so ken help Penny like us promise.”  Shorty goes further into the library to actually read a book for a bit loinger than it should take.  Then he will return to Stormhold, returning in three days.  He checks with Ez;ard before he leave to see if the elf wants a ride home.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 16):

Ez’ard agrees to return with Shorty. He is in need of sorting his stuff and practice with his new daggers.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 17):

Trysk clears his throat, "Hey, Ez'ard. Are you wearing your amulet? I tried to send you a message but got no response. You got a few minutes before you leave?"

In reply to Trysk (msg # 18):

Ez’ard replies, “Sorry, lost in thought there for a sec. What’s up?”

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 19):

Warwick nods.  "Three days, real time, then.  Lads, it's been a pleasure.  Tzar, ye were a puzzle at first, but a real good lad to fight beside.  Anytime ye want to join us, we'd be glad to have ye."

"Unless ye all have anything else fer me, I'm going to go take a bath and then have a nice meal."

In reply to Warwick (msg # 20):

Morteft nods. "Three days then."

He goes to Tzar and retrieves his extra amulet. "Nice meeting you."

He heads to his room to take care of a few things and then heads out.

OOC: He will be around for the next day and then gone for two.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 21):

Trysk shakes Tzar's hand, "Good to have met you. Let us know if you ever need assistance."

He then leaves the room and indicates Ez'ard to follow.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 22):

Tzar will shake hands in turn - whoever offers - saying various things such as "Was a pleasure.", "Nice to have worked with you.", "I'll see you around I'm sure.", "If I can be of assistance."

To Warwick  "If the Captain permits, perhaps we can train together?"

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 23):

Warwick is surprised.  "Aye, lad.  If ye're willing to train down to me level.  Ye're a bit more accomplished than I am."
