Re: OOC: Table Talk ONE
Merry Christmas All, just a quick reminder, and I'll post as I can through the holidays...
As one by one the heroes go upstairs, some more reluctantly than others, there is strange excitement-fear that runs through the group. As various items of power and memories are set aside, rings of power, weapons of power, musical instruments of power, amulets, spell books, and clothing, the party becomes more and more exposed. The items stir memories of how they were acquired, of past times, and how they've been used to stay alive, it is un-natural to be heading off on a quest without them, and yet, a bit like a rebirth. A time travel back to earliest days of adventuring, when luck, and gristle, and being too stubborn or brave to run away made the day.
You find the blankets are very thin but really soft and dense, they are much larger than you'd expect and can be wrapped around you many ways, toga style, tied into robes, even making a hood if desired. They are comforting and seem to make you feel just a little giddy.
On returning back downstairs, the main room has been transformed. Trees have grown up in the room, sprung right from the wood floors and between them hang six hammocks. There is a small table with glasses of wine and beside each one, a shriveled berry. There is an amulet with a tiny stone-like cube on it, and five very small glass looking coins, mirrored on one side. Elexi is already lying in the one closest to the kitchen, smoking his pipe.
"Have a drink, a berry, and pick a spot. Get really comfortable. It won't take effect for a few hours, and during that time, I will tell you a bit about the plane of dream. The amulet is for Saliq, its made of dreamstone. If you make it to my sisters home, it should open the door, she doesn't know I have one and they are extremely rare. One coin each, they are looking glass coins, very valuable for trade in the more solid areas of Dream. Before you drift off to sleep, put these under your tongue."
