"No Identify does tell you if an item is cursed or not." says the senior mages.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 683):

OOC: That last msg was supposed to say “cursed and evil”… anyway

Ez’ard then continues, “So I still need someone to review all this stuff (list new items) before I try them out. Even the Manual? I maybe chaotic but good, I don’t do evil and cursed is definitely evil.”

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 684):

For the most part you have to check them out yourself.  The manual you definitely just need to open.

Celestron is generally very reliable if he says its cursed or not.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 685):

Ez’ard nods and then asks one of the HQ staff to time-dilation room. He then settles in an opens the manual to start to study.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 686):

Ez'ard will be shown a room with time-dilation ability up to a factor of 6 either way.

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 687):

As everyone continues to mingle the library doors burst open and in walks Amberle and she exclaims "Art, you said you had a 200 year old bottle of Tyrian Whisky."  Art turns "Coming up m'lady"  Art exits and Amberle chat with the variety of dignataries.

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 688):

OOC - Ron, please remind me who Amberle is.

In reply to Trysk (msg # 689):

Morteft looks up. "200-year old Whisky? Is it Elven?"

In reply to Trysk (msg # 689):

Amberle is the Ranger who will be training Shorty.

--DM2

In reply to Morteft (msg # 690):

Amberle will give Morteft a once over.  "Hardly" she says "A human brew."

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 692):

"That is surprising." He says simply. "Human goods don't normally survive the centuries."

In reply to Trysk (msg # 689):

OOC:  She is the Lady Ranger that like to bust Shorty's chops.  Apparently Shorty has not suffered enough abuse lately.  LoL

Shorty looks down at the new cloak he was about to put on.  Then he looks regretfully up at the ceiling he was going to go walk on.  Finally he looks over at the Lady Ranger and packs his new cloak in his backpack for another day.  He is fairly certain he will be getting his marching orders very, very soon.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 693):

Amberle gives a slight lady like laugh "Then you do not know whiskey or humans do not know how to make it on this world.  It ages quite well."

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 695):

As the celebration winds down, Shorty will check in with the Lady Amberle to make sure that she can get herself to Stormhold.  If she is is set for transportation, Shorty will bid everyone good night.

Shorty will drag the large iron chest with the things he is bringing home outside to the grassy knoll.  Then he will ask New Horizons to take him home to the outer courtyard.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 696):

Shorty will go up to Amberle and she will continue chatting with Zargon for a few minutes before acknowledging Shorty.

She finally acknowledges Shorty "What are your plans?"  she gives nothing more than that but then before Shorty can answer "My apologies, Zargon, this is my trainee .. Shorty." she says to Zargon and Zargon replies "Yes we have met, stout fellow." he pats Shorty on the arm, Amberle sneers a bit "Yes, we shall have to do something about that."

Back to Shorty she says with a little irritation "Your plans?"

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 697):

Shorty smiles warmly as Zargon.  "Tanks youse gin fer helps you gib ta sabe slabes.  Dem safe now at me home."

Shorty then turns to the Lady Ranger.  He puts aside his dislike of her attitude and says poolitly.   "Me would likes bery much ta train mo.  Alannon say be hab small tings ta do fer Arcturus.  Maybeso ken train dere?  Ken brings youse or maybeso meets youse dere."

In reply to Shorty (msg # 698):

Amberle looks at Shorty "And train you shall."  she says "You go back to Arcturus your way.  When you have checked in at Stormhold then .. you come find me.  I will be on Arcturus."

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 699):

Shorty looks at her a bit puzzled.  “Finds youse?  Bees bery big place.  Dere bees rule fer findin youse?”  Before she can limit his actions too much, Shorty leans in and sniffs, committing the rangers scent to memory.

OOC:  Well, it will be an interesting way to learn the countryside if that is all she is going to give him.  Is the land still pretty barren except for the grove and the coast?

In reply to Shorty (msg # 700):

OOC: Just wait for the surprise.

Amberle will follow-up "I will be in the forest where you first met Hicks.  I will give you 2 days to find me."

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 701):

Shorty looks at her one last time before leaving.  "No rule?  Ken find any way me wants?"

After she answers, Shorty will take the chest of gear and head outside to go home.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 702):

Amberle smiles "The rule.  No magic, only your brain."

--DM2

In reply to Ron, The DM (msg # 703):

OOC:  So  taken very litterally, Cat is out and speaking to plants is out.  However, Shorty's ability to speak with the animals of Arcturus does not employ magic.....

Send me a PM when you are ready to make my head hurt again.....

In reply to Shorty (msg # 704):

OOC: Yes, it is purely natural ability.  We will get Shorty to Arcturus and go from there.

Amberle says "You journey home and soon after that your training run will begin."

Shorty's actions?

--DM2

In reply to Shorty (msg # 704):

Shorty will drag the chest and gear outside.  He will return to Stormhold using New Horizons.

Shorty will spend the rest of the day checking in with Know Man, Relin, the squires, and anyone else that needs his time or assistance.  He will make sure to carve out time to meet with Arlon and Max to see how they are doing.  Shorty will end the day with a hot bath and a good night's sleep.  If there are no emergencies or calls for his help...  He will travel to meet with Hicks.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 706):

If you are training with Dualis or Art or Zargon you can consider yourself trained, unless any of you want to role play it.

Right now most characters are doing personal things so let me know what your character wants to do next.

Remember there is Larry's adventure and I have the Alpha Omega adventure which can be a group or individual but individual would be difficult, at least 2 would make things easier.  I also have individual quests and you can do your own thing too.
