Aye, and these be our allies now. Likely need to get Hrunting her a guild badge.

In reply to Ulo (msg # 733):

" The badges we wear are a mark of rank, station, and membership
within ta guild. Non members canna sleep or eat here, or find work.
Ranking members have got privileges ordainary members dinna.
Ya join, I  take an inventory o yer talents an tha way, employers,
quest givers an the like can ask fer a body with a specific skillset,
An we can fix em up with a member as serves and needs a bit o work.

Ta badfe also serves as proof of employment, as the Hadereum is fond o
 Putting those it sees as vagrants into the lockup, or even selling them
as indentured servants."

In reply to Aemon McCain (msg # 736):

A catgirl, hooded and cloaked, steps up to lay her hand on Fenric's shoulder.
"I would stand to sponser this one for membership. He was instrumental in the negotiations with the people of the eastern reaches."
She glances over at Ulo and Rafik.
"You two sho see Aethelbert the sage. He is going to want to meet you."

Re: In the City of the People of the Pit

Ulo looks at Fenric and says stiffly, "None of us will be joining this Guild without Angrid's permission."

Then she shifts her gaze to the cat-person, "Is this Athalbart someone in charge?"



OOC:  Ulo is giving off "prickly" vibes.

Before you head up to the sage with the cat girl, Lacuda surfaces from her tub and calls out to Ulo.

Re: In the City of the People of the Pit

Ulo hurries over to her, "E kala mai iaʻu. He hoa kēia,"  she gestured to Rafik, "I kapa'ia'o Rafik. Hele wau a me kahi mea e hele ai. 'A'ole wau i'ike i ka'ōlelo a kēia po'e, ai'ole e hā'awi aku wau iā'oe i hiki iā'oe ke kama'ilio pū me lākou. Akā, e lawe koke kekahi iā'oe i ke kai. Lana koʻu manaʻo. E ho'omana'o wau iā lākou."


Ulo looks about for Gorgath only to see him at ease near the tub.*

"Gorgath, Lacuda still needs to go to the sea.  How far is it?  Is it safe, like are her people hated here?  Does she need an escort?  She is anxious to return to her home.**"


OOC:
* making a presumption since Gorgath replied OOCly that he'd be happy to carry her and the tub down to the harbor.

** the sad part here being her home is probably as long gone as Gareth's.  And the ocean is a very big and lonely place.


Also, sorry for the delay in responding, it's been a long couple of days.

Re: In the City of the People of the Pit

Gorgath shrugged his big shoulders after Ulo questions and answered them in a slow repetitive tone,

"Don't know."

"Mmmm, Don't know."

"Uhhh, Don't know."

"Ahhh, Don't know."

"I take her though."


The ogre moved over to check the weight of the tub.

"Before you go I can give you the language of the Trolls as I have Lakuda, if you do not speak it?  This way if there is trouble you can speak with Lacuda about to do."

In reply to Ulo (msg # 745):

Lacuda and her tub weigh about three hundred pounds. The docks are about a mile and a half north, and she looks almost hydrated enough to walk. The tub is of trollish make, and might be valuable to the sage, Aetgelbert, who collects trollish artifacts.

Re: In the City of the People of the Pit

OOC:  Hide, No Odor, Borrow Language, and Resist Acid are on Ulo.

Lend Language (Troll) is on Lacuda and Gorgath.

In case there was some confusion.


Narrator or Gorgath:  It just occurred to me that I wasn't accounting for any Magic Resistance Gorgath might have... if he has the standard Ogre MR 2, then the spell failed and she needs to keep casting till it's successful.  Let me know.

Razza-frazzan...  I should have remembered that.

Luckily it only required 1 extra attempt... so a total of 6 FP
22:12, Today: Ulo rolled 11 using 3d6.  Lend Language, 11 (5 spells active*, -2 for MR), Cast on Gorgath, cost 2FP**.

Hang on... that also means the maintenance will cost 1 FP per minute...

Hmmm.  Something occurs to me.  Narrator, do you allow the Lending of a language that has been acquired through Borrow Language?

That rolls into the category of wishing for wishes. Now if Gorgath grabbed a point in troll, lacuda could as well, and they could fumble along.

That's how I've ruled in my games as well... but I figured I'd check.

Okay, it just means in about 5 minutes the Lend Languages on Gorgath will cease...

Re: In the City of the People of the Pit

Gorgath stumbled along, apologizing to those around him even as he cursed his own clumsiness.

As the bumping continued, Gorgath could no longer contain himself. Taking a big breath in he bellowed out loud and long,

"MOOOOVE!"


Gorgath will gladly take a point in Troll.
