In reply to Alastrine (msg # 486):

"Unless they are not harmless and attack me, I agree..."
he half mumbled.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 487):

the wood maids' thorns start to fall off onto the ground, where they sprout.

"So, Lady of Nature, if you do not wish help from us, then we would be pleased to be on our careful way. May we?" Alastrine repeats albeit in different words.

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 489):

"Trouble not the hedge then and begone."


at this point everyone in heavy gear should have lost another fp, as it is around 90°F

"Thank you," she replies with a simple curtsie.

"Let's be on our way, folks. And mind the hedge."

Can we define heavy gear? Also, what should we roll to get out of here, guided by our little eye in the sky?

heavy gear is armor above DR1 in this case. it is Hot.


The buff pixie guides you through seversl twists and turns, and you are now by the fountain that used to have the statue and songbird.

the bits of the statue you did not take appear to be growing...

In reply to Dryad (msg # 490):

OOC: FP deduction done.

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 494):

"I think we should keep moving. It is too hot to hang around anyway..."

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 495):

"Agreed. Keep leading on..."

He eyes the growing statue nervously...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 496):

the growing <i> statues<i> are quite small at this point...

the pixie leads you onward, and you ake it to the fish fountain.

Alastrine asks, "What's with all the bits of statue?"

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 498):

"It attacked us, and we had to defend ourselves..."

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 499):

"Exactly right. Lead on, pixie!"

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 500):

There is a splash from the fish fountain.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 501):

Hograth will throw in a few coins...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 502):

a golden carp surfaces from the depths of the fountain.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 503):

"Hello again, our fishy friend..."

"Carp Diem?" mutters Alastrine.

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 505):

"You went down the well, didn't you?"

Alastrine coughs a little and laughs more as if hearing something those nearby do not.

[Private to GM: Laughed at "...down the whelk."]

"Yes, then closed the portal when we returned. Are there other such portals?"

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 507):

occ that was well


the Fish seems to shake its head.
it peers at Alastrine
"You aren't from around here."

"No, that's completely right, I'm not. But I am Alastrine. What's your name?" she asks, rather intrigued by the talking fish.

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 510):

"Hoh! you want to know my name?  you may call me Goldenscale."
