"No bones?"

Shivers noticeably;

"That's just gross."

In reply to Syrik Flaire (msg # 71):

"Why would they steal children? Did they eat them, or worse? What did they look like? Octupii?"

In reply to Aoife (msg # 72):

"I hear same stories. No legs, big body, four arms, face like lamp,"
  he holds up four fingers, then points at the top of his
head and nods at Stark.

For a half-second, I look upward to see the top of my head and then quickly recover;

"So their face glows?  Like a fire?"

In reply to Johan Stark (msg # 74):

"Like giant floating eyes, with eyes on tentacles?"

[Private to GM: Is there a chance Aoife has heard of anything like this?]

"Eye stalks sound like easy targets."

Looking around to make sure we're all here.

"So, when do we get started?"

"Is their outside hard like a bug or squishy like worm?  Do they really float or just move around on some of their arms?"

In reply to Hitomi (msg # 77):

Fenric shakes his hesd, then pushes aside a few platters on the elaborately
carved table and points.
  There, you can see someting like a bunch of trolls with spears and flaming
staves attacking something that looks like a giant slug wth a humanoid upper
 torso, four large tentacles, and a round haloed head. The chest has a round mouth full of pointed teeth, and the whole thing, if drawn to scale, suggest
a body about three yards long and high.

In reply to Fenric (msg # 78):

"Oh, they don't like fire, it would seem?"

In reply to Aoife (msg # 79):

"The trolls themselves cannot abide fire, so they must assume everyone else... oh what, that isn't fire Svetlana?"

In reply to Aethelbert (msg # 80):

Svetlana shakes her head, then conjures forth a blackish green flame in her hand as demonstration.

In reply to Trollop (msg # 81):

"Oh. What is that then?"

[OOC Thaumatology roll?]

"Oooh, pretty.  Is it hot?"

Hitomi tries to poke the flame with her extended claw.

[Private to GM: Curiosity says touch it, careful says use her claw rather than silk gloves.  No idea if Svetlana will allow it.

Shrooms wearing off yet?]

In reply to Hitomi (msg # 83):

Svetlana's black eyes widen, and she hurls the ball of green flame at the
wall.
"Hoolikas, Heetomi, et on ohtlik!"

The conversation had not drawn the ogre away from his plate.

The sudden appearance of a ball of flame, on the other hand, made him stop mid chew.

"Not Fire?"

Gorgath spoke and bits of the meal dribbled down his chest.

In reply to Gorgath (msg # 85):

"Hitomi, she says that isn't safe to touch!"

[Private to Hitomi: the shrooms are wearing off.]

Gigi stares at the green fire, it seems so beautiful.

In reply to Gigi Nivens (msg # 87):

"Deathtouch. Yeah, you probably should not touch that."

"That's pretty.  But I imagine my axe will take off those flimsy little tentacles and then that knobby head without much problem."

"The do not look too fierce.  What is about them that makes them a threat then?"

In reply to Hitomi (msg # 90):

Angrd, silent for much of this exchange, speaks.
"Nad on kirjeldamatu võim."

Aeethelbert looks at her soberly.
"Their powers are unspeakable."

"Unspeakable?  Does she mean horrible, evil, or can she really not describe them.  If we have to get past them to reach the library then it would be wise to know what they are capable of."

In reply to Hitomi (msg # 92):

"On aeg, et näha saarel.  On hästi kaitses, isegi vastu nende
iidsete vaenlaste meie."

"At last! Angrid says that it is time to see the island. She says that
it is wll defended against even these ancient enemies."

In reply to Aethelbert (msg # 94):

"Let us go then. I guess we will find out about their powers soon enough."

[Private to GM: What would I roll to know of these creatures and their powers?]
