Contact with any of the goods of the troll as they petrified had some risk. The bag and remaining coins have turned to stone, trapping your hand within.

Bag of coins? How was that not the first thing a greedy thief would have removed?

Hograth will smash it the bag with a rock. He would not want to blunted his axe, not risk it deflecting and cutting of his friends hand...

And the coins already recovered and stored elsewhere?

In reply to Urrun (msg # 560):

the pocketed coins are secure, but it ishard to check with a paw stuck to the stone.

the greedy Tonkin did not specify any searching, and Urrun did.

Hograth has freed our paws with stone still stuck to them?

I'll ask Rawrfeena to tap the stones and crack them off my paws.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 561):

What did Tonkin find then?

Also, how is Hograth going in trying to smash the thin stone of the bag?

In reply to Tonkin (msg # 563):

Tonkin has a pocketful of mixed coin from the ones that Urrun spilled, but his hands are ful of pebbles.




make IQ rolls please

In reply to Narrator (msg # 564):

They thought about this predicament for a second or two...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 565):

You are traveling with a splendidly skilled caster who can manipulate stone and shape it to her will...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 566):

Melchizadek, who had headed up to see what the fuss was about, asks

"Say, Alastrine, can you manipulate stone?"

"Yes," replies Alastrine. "Any reason?

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 568):

"We have a few chaps that got caught when the troll turned to stone..."

Actually, metal is a type of earth/stone, is it not? (According to the "Seek Earth" spell.) Would it change?

"Sure. Let's go have a look," she replies and stands up ready to follow.

Upon arrived at the remnants of thenow-petrified troll Alastrine tires to assess the volume of stone that she needs to work for each of the entrapped colleagues and as to whether it counts as worked stone.

You need only adjust a yard's worth for each of them. The stone is not worked; as thankfully none of these folk started chipping at it yet.

After assessing the petrified troll remnants Alastrine says to Urrun, "I can help with this. Please keep still."
Laying a hand on the stone that entraps Urran, the Armourer casts a spell and the stone flows away, releasing him.

She tries to repeat this with Tonkin and is rewarded with a similar effect.

Visibly somewhat more tired Alastrine says, "There you go, boys. Now, I really do need a bit of a rest*. I'm very new to this, well, adventuring thing. No one ever told me how damned tired it makes you."

OOC: 23:44, Today: Alastrine rolled 13 using 3d6.  Shape Earth 15, 2FP-1(high skill) =1FP cost.
23:54, Today: Alastrine rolled 11 using 3d6.  Shape Earth 15, 2FP-1(high skill) =1FP cost. To release Tonkin

*Fifteen minutes.

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 572):

Melchizadek will offer some energy to aid.

My Thanks ...

"Thank you for your assistance. Pity about the coin we missed..."

"You're both welcome, boys," replies Alastrine with a cheesy smile. "Just as long as you continue to keep trolls and whatnot from chewing on my admittedly trim posterior.."

She looks across at her benefactor, "Thank you, Melchizadek. That was very kind of you. Means I'll be useful again that much sooner."

======
OOC: Is it about time to sleep now?

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 576):

"And what a fine posterior it is. We will do our best to keep it intact."

He flashes her a cheeky smile.

She smiles back non-committally.

OOC: I've lost track of game time. When are we in 'our day'?
e.g. Just got up? Lunchtime? Nearly bedtime? etc

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 578):

you arrived in Winter at sunset and it is just now dawn.  It is however, late in your day, as you headed to Winter before noon, if that makes sense.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 579):

"Not sure if this is the best place to rest, though. Kind of creepy."

"It's out of the snow. it may get really cold around here at night," comments Alastrine. "Like freeze-your-blood cold."

In reply to Alastrine (msg # 581):

"Ah, yes. I have a scarf that keeps me warm. I wonder if it can be shared? Shall we try?"
