GM: Last week another Karana griffon decided that your group looked like a tasty treat....

GM: Init order: Sty, Rouge, Griffon, Kyra, Toryn, Sunfall, Rand, Cael, Vinnie

Jason (Stylixxt): are the horses attended ie someone sitting on them?

IJdo (Kyra): prolly a griffon trying to sit on them...

Jason (Stylixxt): will rephrase that if there is a horse that doesnt have a rider i will hit it in the flanks to make it run off (hopefully fast food to go for the griffon)

GM: Give me an intimidate roll

IJdo (Kyra): We're fighting the griffon, I would assume us being unmounted

IJdo (Kyra): and expect to be turned into lizzard boots if you do

There are several horses standing in a nervous group...

Stylixxt runs into the horses trying to scatter them yeahhhh dumb beasts!!!!!

Rouge: omg, wtf are you doing??

Stylixxt slaps the flank of the nearest horse, which is already nervous about being so close to the fight. As his hand connects and he yells at them, all four of them scatter and run away.

Rouge: move into a spot where I can use the bow again

IJdo (Rouge): think that was too far for a shot

GM: Your good now

GM: Roll attack

GM: You succeed, roll damage

IJdo (Rouge): ownage

The griffon, seeing the horses scatter and start running away at break neck speed, takes off after them.

IJdo (Rouge): attack of opportunity?

Stylixxt: cheers yeahhh !!!!

GM: Nope

GM: Spot rolls

Stylixxt looks around at everyone smiling

Rouge: Great. So now we have no horses and no target

GM: And time to pony up....who's equipment was in their saddle bags??

Rand looks around with eyes red with fury, looking for a target

-> Rouge: after a few moments you see the griffon dive and pick up a horse and fly off with it.

Kyra: It got a horse and took off

Toryn drops his sword on the ground.

Rand: "Crap, the griffon got one of the horses and flew off now" Rand says, disappointed "No chance to kill it now and one more of us that needs to walk"

Kyra looks angrily at Sty

Kyra: Great going...

Caelianna starts singing a song with elvin lyrics.

Stylixxt shrugs his shoulder the horse or us you didn't think you could defeat such a magnificant creature?

-> Vinnie: basically sty came up with the bright idea to make the horses run off to see if the griffon would chase it....it did.

Rand: "I don't see why not, both Toryn and i got a nice hit in" Rand says, still feeling the disappointment

Stylixxt: you did......starts to laugh at kyra ..... and they call me crazy...hahaha

Jason (Stylixxt): why has tory dropped his sword

Caelianna: After a few more moments the remaining horses come trotting back and go straight for Caelianna.

Stylixxt looks at toryn

Vinnie trots straigth to Caelianna too

Toryn eyes glaze over a bit.

Caelianna stops singing and glares at Vinnie.

Jason (Stylixxt): whose horse got it?

Petra: Kyra's

Vinnie: "what?' Vinnie innocently asks Caelianna

Kyra: As Kyra looks for her horse, it starts to damn on her

Caelianna: I swear by all that is holy I will call down the elements onto your very shoulders.

Kyra: #$%^&*(*&^% you %$*((&^% lizard!!!!!!1111one

Stylixxt: looks innocently at kyra

Stylixxt: tilts head to one side

Vinnie looks down to the ground,' i don't mean no harm, star in my clouded sky'

Stylixxt: what a strange creature i saved your life and you say such things

Kyra goes through a calming routine, and gives Sty a look that could kill

Caelianna turns her horse's head and leads the other horses to the rest of the group leaving Vinnie standing by himself.

Stylixxt: studying toryn has he gone inside himself again?

-> Stylixxt: it seems so

-> Stylixxt: spot roll

Sunfall: Kyra looks like she's got strong legs, I'm sure she'll do just fine on foot!

Stylixxt picks up toryns sword and replaces it in the fighters scabbard solemly shaking his head

Kyra: You owe me a horse, lizard man...

-> Stylixxt: you notice that his eyes are twitching a bit before he goes into the stare he previously had.

Rouge mounts his horse, and helps Kyru up behind him

Stylixxt: hmmmm ssstrange he has disapeared within himself motioning to toryn (blatantly ignoring kyras last insult)

Vinnie kicks a rock and mumbles something about stupid women and humans and how evil the world is

Caelianna sighs

Rand walks to his horse, eyes slowly getting less red

Caelianna: We really ought to look into getting a wagon to put Toryn in. At this rate it will take us three months to get where we're going.

Stylixxt studies the area where the battle was fought looking for a guess what!!!!

Vinnie says to Caelianna,' but every second spend with u is wroth more than a lifetime!'

Rand motions Sty to come and sit behind him

Stylixxt: i had better lead him ...motions to toryn

Rand: "Vinnie, you lead the demon along" Rand says "Maybe you get to be usefull afterall"

Stylixxt: he has dissapeared within again how long for i cannot guess

-> Stylixxt: search roll for another feather

Jason (Stylixxt): prolly until next week is my guess

Vincent (Rand): heh

Petra: good guess

The area seems to be devoid of any evidence of a fight.

Caelianna dismounts from the horse she was riding to remount her own.

Stylixxt: i am sure there should be a feeather around here somewhere as sty starts searching 20 feet from where the battle was fought

Vinnie: 'I don't want to be seen with an ugly thing like this!'

-> Stylixxt: another spot roll with a -2

-> Stylixxt: still no feather

Stylixxt: lol

12 noon

Stylixxt shrugs and sighs maybe next time

Stylixxt leads toryn looping my tail around his arm to lead him

Rand: "You better become usefull or we may have a feast tonight" Rand says in an eery gruff voice

Vinnie: "oh nice! what are we feasting about? i love feasts!' Vinnie says with a grin to Rand

Caelianna: Who wants this extra horse?

Rand: "You with an apple in your mouth" Rand says in a deeper then usual voice "Or without for that matter"

Kyra: what extra horse?

Stylixxt: and they expect us to beat griffons one of the mightyest beasts around with you as our main fighter stylixxt says to toryn having a one way conversation

Vinnie shrugs,' not really fond of apples, i prefer mango's'

Caelianna: it is the one I was sitting on during the battle..Stylixxt was riding it before we traded.

Kyra: I'll take it

Stylixxt: i mean you weren't even that good at it before you started having the blank spells say stylixxt continuing the conversation

Kyra jumps down, and mounts the new horse

Vinnie whispers to Rand,' man, look at Caelianna's ass! so right for a little yabedabedoo on it!'

Caelianna points her horse's head and heads in the direction they were going.

Stylixxt looks up to see which way cael is going and adjusts to suit haveing started out in a random direction leading toryn like a baby elephant

Rand follows Caelianna, still calming down from the fight

Ten days pass without seeing another creature or human. Supplies are running low and water has started to become scarce.

Jason (Stylixxt): i got no food now

Stylixxt holds his scrollcase up getting the last few bugs out a dead moth!!!!

Sunfall picks his teeth

Stylixxt: things are bad we need supplies looking to the others for suggestions

Sunfall: hunting?

Rouge: lizzard stew?

Rand takes his turns at leading Toryn along, letting Sty getting used to riding a horse. Where possible he tries to teach Sty how to stear the horse as well

Caelianna: Spot rolls

Stylixxt: hmmm perhaps if we coulf find lizzards that would be appetizing for sure rouge... brightening up at the thought you have some good recipes?

Vinnie: we can always eat one of the horses, what is all the fuzz about?

GM: Spot rolls

Rand: "Hunting is a good idea, anyone actually good at it?" Rand asks "Also, i can scrounch up herbs, but that won't make our stomachs full"

Sunfall: I'm good at hunting treasure, but little else

-> Rand: you see some dust in the far, far, far distance, almost like horses going down the road.

-> Vinnie: you see some dust in the distance

-> Rouge: you see some dust in the distance

Stylixxt: i can hunt and trap when i need to rand been outcasts to many places kinda makes one self sufficient

Rouge points in the distance "There's dust there

Vinnie: oh maaaaaaan, no water! and now even we gonna get dirty!' vinnie says pointing

Stylixxt squintsw off into the distance trying to see what the others saw (looking the wrong direction)

Rand sighs at Vinnie, feeling the itch to shove him on Sty his spear and roast him

GM looks in the direction Rouge pointed.

Caelianna: It looks like it's moving towards us.

Stylixxt looks around for cover not knowing what is about to attack

Rand: "Yes it does" Rand says, can anyone see what it is, all i see is dust flying around" Rand says

Rouge tries to get a better look

-> Rouge: as it comes closer, you think you can make out wagons and horses. It seems to be moving very slowly.

Jason (Stylixxt): is there a rock i can scramble on i dont fancy getting trampled by a herd of rhino or somethink?

Rouge: Looks like a wagen train of some sort

Petra: it's pretty flat ;-)

Vinnie: 'maybe we can eat it!'

Stylixxt: sighs with releif

Rand turns around and takes a swing at Vinnie with open hand

Stylixxt looks to toryn to make sure he is suitable covered .... perhaps we hang back a little motioning to himself and toryn

GM: roll init Vinnie

Vinnie: 'what the heck is wrong with u? why? i just expressed what everyone is thinking! You are so damn twisted and sickminded you should be better of cutting your own heart out!' Vinnie screams at Rand

GM: Vinnie gets to act first.

Kenny (Vinnie): i hold action after saying that

Stylixxt nods he has a point there rand.... you do have some behavioural issues..

Rand slaps Vinnie (1pt subdual damage)

Stylixxt: but i also think he is annoying go ahead,,, give him a black eye.. smiling at rand

Vinnie

Vinnie just makes his horse back a bit away from Rands,' don't expect to life long, mr Spagethi, one morning ur friends will find you with your throat cut'

Attack of oppertunity on Vinnie, which misses.

Rand attempts to slap him again..

Vinnie laughs,' you weak pathetic fool! Go find someone your own skill to bully! But leave the big boys alone or you might hurt yourself!'

Meanwhile, the caravan is about 100ft away, moving slowly. It seems to be a rather large caravan at that.

Stylixxt positions himself and toryn so they are at the back of the group away from the caravan keeping hoods covered

IJdo (Rouge): does it look like traders, or something more nasty

Kenny (Vinnie): a caravan full of Rands?

GM: spot roll

Rouge: already rolled

Vinnie is to busy forming a plan to kill Rand to notice anything other than Rand

-> Stylixxt: you can make out a good 20 wagons and a few head of horses and oxen. There are dusty looking human trudging tiredely along the wagons.

-> Kyra: you can see about 20 wagons, a heard of horses, and oxen. People are trudging alongside the wagons, looking quite tired. It seems to be large families.

Kyra: obvious weapons?

-> Rouge: it looks more like families than merchants...and their weapons which are visable seem to be swords, pitchforks, and other farming type equipment.

Stylixxt: motions to rand perhaps you could hold yours and vinnies conversation for a while ...points over to the caravan this may be an opportunity to resupply

Rand looks at Sty and nods, then turns around to the caravan

Kyra: Looks like gypsies to me

Rouge and Kyra ride towards the caravan, and hail them

Stylixxt: hmmm they must be familiar with the plains pehaps they have knowledge of the winged horses?

Stylixxt hangs back

Vinnie: tank

-> Vinnie: k

Stylixxt wipes drool from toryns lip ..you sure are gonna suffer for this when you come around that is...

A man wearing a colurful shirt and trowsers rides up to Kyra and Rouge on a spotted pony, bareback. His feet are bare and he's quite dusty, and he looks tired.

Sunfall: Caravans are often led by armed guards, perhaps we should hide Toryn if we are to meet with them. We don't want to alarm them do we?

Stylixxt: sure i am trying to keep us covered but any other suggestions would be useful

Rouge: Greetings, good man

He nods in greetings to Rouge, "These are dangerous plains for a small group such as yourselves to travel through."

Rand nods at that

Jason (Stylixxt): can we join the gypsies raid its prolly safer for us?

Rouge nods agreement. "Aye, but sometimes the need outweighs the risk"

Petra: they're going in the opposite direction..but if you want to go back to Qeynos..

The man nods.

IJdo (Rouge): A lizard and a demon? "Save"?

Vinnie: they keep forgetting Vinnie is a DE lol

-> Vinnie: I know

GM: "What brings you out to these plains?"

GM: the man says

Kyra: urgh - sorry guys

Vinnie: 'the parties, my good man!' Vinnie says sarcastically

Kyra: Impostor!!!

Sunfall raises an eyebrow

Kyra points at Kyra in wonder

Kyra: I will just be watching for a while - I have nooooo idea where the story is headed

Kyra//em pulls of her mask

Jason (Stylixxt): i am a rose between two thorns

Chuck Norris: muahahah

-> Kyra: well, we've got the Chuck Norris kyra...

Kyra: obviously

IJdo (Rouge): sorry, couldnt resist

The man slowly turns his head and looks at Vinnie.

Vinnie looks at the man with a bored annoyed look

Rouge: State business, Rouge replies vaguely

-> Kyra: basically last week there was a griffon attack...this week the fight continues and Sty went and slapped the loose horses to make them run away as griffon bait. The griffon fell for it and ate Kyra's griffon.

Sunfall: His business has been frinedly so far *shooting Rouge an annoyed look*

Kyra: great. *mopes*

Sunfall: We are heading in the direction Freeport good sir, what of you and your caravan?

-> Kyra: kyra is a bit pissed at Sty right now. After the fight they travelled 10 days without incident and now they ran into a caravan

Kyra: I gather we are on our way to freeport?

The man turns and looks at Sunfall, his eyebrows crease togeather as he studies him.

Stylixxt: hey thats not right sunfall we are looking for winged horses remember says stylixxt .... totally innocently

-> Kyra: well, to the winged horses

IJdo (Rouge): Kyra: the short version: We fought a griffon, which took of with your horse, due to Stylixxt. You're currently in Caelianna's extra horse

Stylixxt claps his hands over his mouth

The man looks at Stylixxt.

Wendy (Kyra): ok

Interesting company you keep" he says

Sunfall: yes I know, but let us deal with one thing at a time Stylixxt

Wendy (Kyra): just watching the fray for a while before I jump in head over heels

IJdo (Rouge): other than that the usual drama

Stylixxt: yes they are the best i could find but they are goodly folk

Vinnie: 'my good man, your business is your business, our business is our business. It does not show good manners to ask private stuff like that. I hope you understand that.' Vinnie says diplomatically

Kyra: why are we looking for winged horses?

-> Kyra: to try to find out what happened to Toryn

Kyra: the demon-change you mean?

Sunfall: The lizard? Don't worry, he's more harmless than most things, bears, rabid hyenas, teenagers..

-> Kyra: he's been "spacing" out so to speak....basically Andre can be here only every other week due to his kids so the weeks he's gone Toryn kind of "phases" out of this reality and is only here physically it seems

Rouge reassures the man. "That is true. They look worse than they bite tho"

-> Vinnie: Diplomacy roll

Stylixxt: ahh yes they are more dangerous things around than me looks around nervously griffons, demons, were rabbits for example

The man raises a brow at Vinnie, but says nothing.

To Sunfall he says..

Sunfall: I am Sunfall, and these are my fellow travelers, pleased to meet you, my friends are less intimidating than they may appear

Durril : My name is Durril of the Lennor gypsies. We often travel to different part of the plains through the different seasons, however, our fall home has been ravaged and we are looking to seek shelter elsewhere. Possibly the great city of Qeynos for the winter.

Vinnie shakes his head saying,'i am traveling with morons, meeting morons in the middle of nowhere doing absolutely nothing fun!'

Kyra bows to Durril, wondering whether Queynos would be the place to go for the likes of him

Stylixxt: hmm the great city indeed we have traveled from there my companions are what you say famous there or is it infamous i never remember....chuckling like sandpaper rubbed together

Sunfall: Qeynos is hospitable enough for you I believe, they recently ended celebrations for the King's birthday, I'm sure whatever supplies or services you bring them will go for a good price considering how much the city consumed recently, their stores ought to be low and their entertainers exhausted

Durril nods slowly

Vinnie: 'ok, to make a long story short! we are hungry, thirsty and horny as heck!'

Sunfall: Are you and your ilk traders by any chance?

Durril : It is quite unfortunate, for while wandering the plains looking for a new wintering spot, we have used much of our extra stores. Only when we set our stationary camp up can we make the mead we are known for.

Kyra glances at Vinnie - this guy really needs to have his mouth flushed soon

Rouge cleans his nails with his dagger, and mumbles something about gelding dark elves

Durril : We have not much in the way of supplies, but I am sure the fourteen families would be willing to part with what they can spare for coin.

Kyra Kyra smiles sweetly at Vinnie

Vinnie: 'whaat? you guys are so busy with trying to find horses with wings, horses without wings, feathers, and other useless stuff, you forget the fun stuff!' Vinnie bites at Kyra

Rand: "Vinnie, do you have any cash on you for fun" Rand asks?

Durril (slowly): Horses with wings?

Kyra: Well, a gelded dark elf used to pass as fun where I come from, Kyra smiles at Vinnie

Durril narrows his eyes slightly.

Sunfall: I can see why you don't make camp out in the plains, griffons and other fearful creatures roam the lands. I wish I could tell you of a more hospitable spot, unfortunately that is Surefal Glade, which is not too far from Qeynos, if you have need of a place to brew your mead before selling it in the city, I suggest there *Sunfall gives vague details as to it's location*

Stylixxt looks to his feather .... on his spear .... shhhh you are not useless ignore him my child .... stylxxt absently mumbles to his spear

Vinnie: 'money? hahaha and you think you even get close to asking that to me? you? you aggressive kid? hahaha' Vinnie laughs at Rand

Durril : What buisness have you with the winged ones?

Rand: "Just a fair question... i assumed you would have cash on you to pay for un" Rand says

Kyra: "Maybe he is used to taking his fun for free?" Kyra says

Vinnie: 'i don't even busieness with unwinged horses! But they are looking for some winged horses or something!'

Durril : Yes, you stated that earlier..

Stylixxt: we seek audience with the great winged horse lords .. have yopu seen them stylixxt looks up eagerly at the gypsie

Kyra: Have you ever heard of creatures like those, Kyra asks Durril

Rouge: We could take his "fun" for free, Rouge mumbles looking at his knife

Rand: "Sorry sir, but this dark elf is like a stuck record" Rand says, "An annoying record at that"

Vinnie: 'up the backside' Vinnie says to Rouge without looking at him

Vinnie: need to tank mob

-> Vinnie: k

Rand: "Could i possibly persuad you to buy him as a slave or something" Rand asks Durril

Rouge: *cough*gay*cough*

Durril : Yes, I know of the creatures...though I hesitate to speak openly about them. Too many try to capture them and take their freedom from the skies.

Sunfall: As you said, we are a small group, we are no match for the horses or their Lord

Kyra: "But this is not our intention," Kyra assures Durril

Kyra: "We need information, we do not seek strife. I am a monk of the Order of the Phoenix, and we stand for peace and knowledge". She bows again

Rouge nods

Stylixxt looks up at kyra

Stylixxt nods in agreement

Durril : If you are what you say you are and if you mean no harm to the winged ones, then you would not naysay a task to prove your word is true.

Kyra Kyra glances at her borrowed horse and decides not to give Stylixxt the light of day

Kyra: "That depends on what the task would be and how long it would take us. We seek a cure, and we seek it fast."

Stylixxt: a cure.... a cure for which one... stylixxt chuckles

Durril : That I can not tell you myself. We shall set up camp for the night and you may meet with Saviya

Wendy (Kyra): at least, I think it is a cure? I mean, slap me if I am wrong :D

Stylixxt: we have a transformed paladin a cursed cleric and we have vinnie take your pick

Rand: "Vinnie is easily cured, let me and Rouge at him and he will be fixed shortly" Rand muses

IJdo (Rouge): Rand's problem is that he was bitten bitten by a were-rabbit. Think Holy Grail :P

Stylixxt: hmmmm who pray is saviya i have heard tales that some caravan travellers harbour the sight is she such a one?

Kyra: "Very shortly" Kyra grins at Rand

Wendy (Kyra): oh jeez

Durril turns to the front of the caravan and shouts something in another language.

Rand returns Kyra's grin

Sunfall: We accept your invitation Durril, we have come to travels end ourselves. Please let us know when and we will graciously be recieved by you

Each wagon behind the first picks up the cry and the caravan becomes busy with movement, closing into a large circle off to the side of the road.

Vinnie: Rand, i really am starting to think you are gay. You give me so much attention it feels like you are denying something to urself' vinnie says at Rand with a sweet smile

Petra: and vinnie knows of a really good tailor that can loosen Rand up...

Wendy (Kyra): do they sell pink boa's? Bet they do!

Rand ignores the dark elf

Durril : It should not take long to set up camp. My people are quite practiced at setting up in a moment's notice. If you will excuse me, I will go help. I will send someone when we are ready to recieve you.

Rouge: Thank you, kind sir

Rand turns back to Vinnie the moment the gypsy walks off. "We have something to finish" Rand smiles

Vinnie turns to the others,' see? if i say a normal thing he looks at me and tries to hurt me. Now i say this and he just ignores me. I hit the bullseye! No worries, my gay friend. Its nothing to be ashamed of. Its normal for humans!'

Rand: initiative [1d20 = 7]

Vinnie: [1d20+3 = 4]

Kenny (Vinnie): lol

Rand flexes his knuckles and gets ready to pound Vinnie to a bloody pulp

Vinnie: 'not to much attention, my gay friend! please! the girls here might think i am gay too! Vinnie says with a big grin

Vinnie: Vince pissed yet? :P

-> Vinnie: lol, more at the random generator than you

Vinnie: lol

Vinnie: i got him touche though :P

Stylixxt waits patiently for the caravan to set up camp sitting toryn down too

Kyra gets off her horse, watching this with disdain. Fighting just for sports is something a monk would never do

GM: vinnie's turn.

Vincent (Rand): not much sport here... this is to teach him a very valuable lesson :)

Vinnie: 'look, gay dude, you are not making anything as a fighter, so please stop making a fool of yourself. I pity you, don't make that change to hate'

Rand attempts to hit Vinnie again, but fails.

Wendy (Kyra): so much for the lesson ....

Meanwhile the gypsies are fast at work securing their animals, putting up tents, and setting up a large fire in the middle of the wagon circle

Vinnie spits in front of Rand on the ground, and walks backwards away from him to gracefully turn at a safe distance to walk to the wagons

Rand pursuits Vinnie, intending a grapple on his ankles

Caelianna watches with interest.

Kyra turns around, and starts rubbing down Caelianna's horse

The horse nudges Kyra in appreciation

Rouge helps Kyra with the horses

Vinnie: do i need to roll a grapple attack too now?

Vinnie: i mean to get away?

Kyra: :D

-> Vinnie: no, he failed

Rand fails to grab Vinnie, yet again

Rand gets back on his feet and sprints after Vinnie again

Vinnie: 'i'm really starting to feel sorry for the fool you are making of yourself' vinnie says sadly

Vinnie: 'but now' Vinnie says while clapping his hands' lets go sing and dance some

Kyra whispers to Rand, out of Vinnie's earshot: "Give it up - he's only getting more cocky because of this"

Sunfall: I feel the need to cast a wall of smoke to save us from this emberassment

Caelianna: Rand finally manages to hit Vinnie, rather hard (4pts subdual damage)

Vinnie falls over (as he got hit from behind as i was walking away from Rand)

Vincent (Rand): okay, get the commandline /die command now

Vinnie gets up slowly

Vinnie sighs and says without turning

Vinnie: 'you are not only a fool, but even a coward'

Vinnie slaps the dirt of his clothes and walks on without looking at Rand

Rand gets red eyes and attacks full force

Kyra walks away from the fight and saunters towards the ring of caravans. Who knows, she might learn something

Vinnie falls again, moans and turns on the ground to his back

GM: Rand appears to go crazy, the whites of his eyes turning somewhat red and he hits with full force. (11pts of damage, not subdual.

Stylixxt looks over realizing this is starting to get nasty

Kyra: crap .. that was supposed to be a listen roll

Rouge raises eyes at fight, sighs "go rand", and follows Kyra

Rand jumps on top of Vinnie, pummeling at his face

Sunfall: groan

Vinnie: 'DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING? THESE GIPSIES CAN SEE YOU ACT AS MORON! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW OR I WILL KILL YOU! THEY WILL CAST US OUT!' Vinnie yells at Rand

-> Kyra: good enough....what are you trying to listen to?

Vincent (Rand): going to do anything Vinnie?

Kenny (Vinnie): try to get away from underneat u

GM: Vinnie going to do anything other than shout??

Kyra: I've wandered off towards the gypsy camp

Stylixxt: it must be his curse causing him to act this way .....sure vinnie is annoying but its not that bad is it ...looking around at the group

Kyra: you never know what you might see/pick up

Kenny (Vinnie): that a str roll or escape artist or what?

-> Kyra: what you see inside the circle is people in colorful clothing doing many chores. They're not speaking common, nor any language you've heard before.

Sunfall: It doesn't matter what's causing it, we need to keep him under control. Rand!!

Petra: special ability he picked up ;-)

Kyra: nothing more? darn

Kenny (Vinnie): no no to get away from underneat him

GM: you can try a tumble roll

Stylixxt: casting slow on rand dc19 will save

GM: Dex roll basically

-> Stylixxt: k

Vinnie is able to roll slightly away from Rand, but not too far.

Rand seems to move a little slower than before and doesn't quite manage to hit Vinnie.

Caelianna: Oh for the love of the Gods...do we have to do this everytime we stop somewhere?

Sunfall: Rouge still got that rope handy?

A small girl in colorful skirts skips out between the wagons and just stops, wide eyed

Vinnie: 'its seems like it!' Vinnie says at Caelianna showing no emotions at all

Rouge throws sunfall the rope

Kyra kyra gets down on her hunches, with a smile on her face for the girl, and asks her if she speaks their language

Rouge waves kindly to the girl, and smiles at her

Sunfall tosses the rope back

Sunfall: I don't know what to do with it!

Caelianna: The girl nods shyly at Kyra. "A little"

Rouge looks at Kyra sadly, and sighs deeply. "I miss her"

GM: Vinnie...going to do anything?

Kyra: "I know, Rouge, I know" Kyra sighs to Rouge. "Everytime I see one of the wee ones, it breaks my heart"

Sunfall: Vinnie, I'm going to help you, don't resist and don't attack

Rouge: Looooool

Sunfall: i want to cast invisibility on Vinnie

Kyra stretches out her hand, urging the girl to take it. "Can you show me around the camp a little? My name is Kyra. What is yours?"

Rand: [3d4 = 14]

Rand starts to breath heavily and looks around confused, the redness from his eyes slowly dissipate

Rouge digs up a sweet from his pack, and hands it to Kyra. "Here, give that to her"

GM: Rand manages to hit Vinnie again, on the face, hard...blood spurts from his nose. (14 damage)

Vinnie hits the ground, unconcious.

Kyra Kyra smiles lovingly to Rouge, and dangles the sweet before the girl's nose. "Want it?"

Kenny (Vinnie): lol

The girl smiles and reaches for the treat

Kenny (Vinnie): for some reason vinnie only has 25 hitpoints lol

Vincent (Rand): ouch... took you down to 0 there then... damn

My name is Tahnee, the girl says

Kyra steps in front of the girl, blocking her sight on the fighting party members behind her

Rand gets out of his frenzy and suddenly realises what he did and how hard he hit

Stylixxt looks over rands shoulder i guess you sure showed him.... dont think he deserved it though ...do you?

Caelianna dismounts from her horse and walks over to Kyra and the girl.

Rand: "What happened?" Rand says "There i was going to beat him up a bit and there he lies clobbered to smithereens"

Petra: brb..ggp

Stylixxt: yes yes ...nodding to rand see the blood on your knuckles he never even fought back

Stylixxt: now are you going to let him die?....looks at rand curiously

Rand: "But but, why didn't he defend himself and why oh why did i smash his face to pulp like that" Rand stammers

Rand tries to gain control over his shock, but fails, fizzling heal after heal

Stylixxt: you have been itching to fight him all day you have got your wish now...either heal him or finish him...turns away from rand

Rand tries to cast his heal over and over, but to his horror he fails

Rand: "Sty, do something, i cannot get the shakes to go away and keep failing" Rand yells

Kyra asks the girl for her name. "What is your name sweetheart?"

Stylixxt: looks at rand curiously is this not what you planned? you have him defeated you really want him healed?

Sunfall: This is not the first time this has happened, is it Rand? And I'm not talking about 10 nights ago.

Rand: "Yes, yes" Rand yells, "I only wanted to bruise him a bit so he would stop blabbering"

Petra: back

Rand: "No it is not the first time, but the first time it took me much longer to snap out of it" Rand yells "Now do something !"

Tahnee: My name is Tahnee

Tahnee: P..p...please come into ca..camp.

Kyra: "Hi Tahnee, that is a lovely name! Sure, we will come into the camp with you. Can I take my friend" she points to Rouge "with me?"

Rand drops to his knees, shivering and then he looses control and starts crying

Sunfall: Rand, you might be the only one who can help Vinnie, i know nothing of healing

Rouge winks at Tahnee

Tahnee nods shyly

Tahnee turns around and skips into the gypsy camp

Stylixxt: for now i heal him even though it pains me

Kyra glances back at Rand and Vinne, and then back at Caelianna. "Do you think it is wise to leave them like that? Should we go back and see what is up?"

Rouge beams a big smile at Tahnee. "Thank you sweety"

Rouge shugs

Rand sits there, on his knees, on the floor, sibbing and jammering

Caelianna shrugs and rolls her eyes.

Kenny (Vinnie): do i gain conciousness? :P

Caelianna: Either Toryn, when he's here, Rand or myself will end up killing the fool

Jason (Stylixxt): that was a heal on vinnie btw

After a few moments, Vinnie comes to

Kyra starts to laugh. you are probably right.

Vinnie: i really want a game with Vinnie and Ro in it together :P

Caelianna: His time is numbered, the only question is which will get to him first

Kyra nods to Tahnee and follows her into the camp

-> Vinnie: totally possible now

Caelianna follows Kyra

Stylixxt: hey vinnie holding hand out to help him up look what you have done to rand he is a mess

Rouge follows Tahnee

Vinnie gets up by himself

Vinnie struggles to the camp

Rand doesn't move, but softly sobs, wondering what is wrong with him

Stylixxt: come rand maybe there is one in the camp who can offer advice on your condition

The gypies seem to have come to life after setting up camp. Each family sits infront of their wagon-tent with a small cooking fire. In the center of the large perimeter is a huge blaze that seems to burn very brightly. Children run and play around the fire.

Vinnie goes sit on the side alone far away from the group he came with

Rand gets up, hanging head and follows Sty sobbing all the way

Jason (Stylixxt): have the gypsies seen toryn in his current form?

Petra: Durril had, but none of the others

Kyra grabs Rouge's hand as she watches the children play. Hopefully their daughter is having just such a carefree life at the moment

Rouge rubs away a tear and hugs Kyra tightly

Stylixxt leads toryn (like a baby elephant holding onto his tail) and heads towards the camp

Durril walks up to Kyra, Rouge, and Caelianna

Kyra: "Don't you want to go and play with your friends?" Kyra smiles at Tahnee, smoothing back her hair

Rand enters the camp, softly sobbing and with head hanging

Tahnee smiles and giggles then runs off to the other children.

Kyra bows to Durril, thanking him for the invitation

Rouge nods respectfully at Durril

Vinnie: are there girls like 20 years old in the camp?

Rand sits at the fire, a little away from the rest, not even looking up

Durril : Welcome on behalf of the Lennor Clan.

Kyra: "Thank you good sir"

Rouge: Thank you, kind people

Kyra glances over to Rand, wondering if she should go to him. It would not be polite to break away from her conversation with Durril at the moment however

Durril : As soon as the first star reaches the night's sky, Saviya will see to you.

Kyra: "Good sir, whom is this Saviya you speak of?"

Durril : She is the Crone of the clan.

-> Vinnie: yes

Vinnie walks to a girl about age 20 (best looking he could see) and asks her,' fair damsel, can i please ask you for some water so i can get myself better suited for a fruitfull evening like this?'

Durril : And not only is she Crone, she has the sight and sees things that we cannot. She is a very wise woman and much feared as well.

Vincent (Rand): i bet Vinnie looks beat up at best

Rouge nods respectfully

The girl nods, wide eyed, and runs off to a barrel and retrieves Vinnie some water.

Kyra: "In my order, we would in all likelihood call her an Oracle. I would be most honored to speak with her. Are there any rituals we need to partake in or can we approach her without further ado?"

Rouge wonders if Vinnie knows what gypsies will do to virgins like him

Wendy (Kyra): bwhehehe

Vinnie: ,thank you ...' looks questioningly at the girl for her name

Kenny (Vinnie): vinnie is 100% not a virgin, from the prestory we played with Aikira vinnie actually had a lot of girls

Durril : She will come out to the center fire when the night falls and the first star enters the sky. Until then, she rests. She is quite old.

IJdo (Rouge): thou dost protest to much

The girl whispers a name then runs off to her family fire.

Kyra: "Then we shall wait for her here" says Kyra, and gestures towards the grassy ground in front of the fire.

Durril nods and walks off.

Vinnie: did i hear the name?

Jason (Stylixxt): do me and toryn get killed when we enter the encampment?

Kyra sits down and makes herself comfortable, starting to darn a tear in one of her trouser legs

Rand has stopped sobbing, but still stairs at the ground in front of him, muttering to himself

During the afternoon and early evening several of the gypsies come and offer food and drink to their guests. Simple fare, but food none the less.

Kyra remembers Rand, and walks over to him, quietly sitting down next to him. "Are you alright?"

Rouge takes a blanket and pulls it over Kyra's shoulders, then sits down next to her

Rand shakes his head

Petra: the gypsies offer curious looks and aren't shy about that..but none seem to have any hostile tendancies towards you two or Vinnie.

Wendy (Kyra): awww

Jason (Stylixxt): that a bonus getting killed straight away is a drag:)

Rand: "I don't know what happened, here i am, giving Vinnie his deserved bloody nose and suddenly i loose it" Rand starts

When night falls and the first star appears in the sky, a hush falls over the camp and everyone looks towards one of the wagons as a small, wirey woman hobbles towards the fire with the use of a cane.

Rand: "And when i snap out of it he is all but dead" Rand stammers, "And he didn't deserve that just yet"

Kyra: Were you ever this hostile? Or is it something that has come over you lately?

Rouge listens intently, wondering if that was what happened with the Guardman too

Stylixxt: i will accept any food that is offered feeding both myself and my overgrown child at the side of me.....if we dont get you cured soon ya big lummox sty going into idle chat mode with toryn

Rand: "I never was hostile and i would like to think i still am not" Rand says

One of the men brings a chair for the old woman and sets it by the group at the fire.

Vinnie walks over to the girls campfire, and adresses her father,' dear sir, i would like to express my thanks for the kindness your daughter showed me. May the gods offer her and her family prosperity and fortune until the end of all days,' before turning abck

Vinnie goes sit in his lonely corner again

The old woman sits.

Kyra: "Well, seems to me you just proved the difference to us. Still, you don't look a hostile man. Was it like this with you when you killed the Royal Guard as well?"

The man looks on, his emotions hidden by his still and blank face.

Rand: "It is weird, all i saw when i was beating Vinnie was bloodred" Rand tells, "But i could feel that there is some way of controlling this behind all that red"

Stylixxt bows in acknowledgement of her station....

Kyra nudges Rouge and points to the old woman.

Rand: "I can't remember anything from when i killed those guards" Rand says "Not a single thing"

Kyra: "Do you want to talk to her? I have the feeling I should stay with Rand"

In a raspy, dry voice, the old woman addresses those that sit near the fire.

Rouge: Got in, hon

Rand: "It is strange, as if i can control it, but at the same time control seems so far far away" Rand says, sniffling

Kyra looks up, trying to listen to both conversations at once

Rouge walks over to the old woman, and bows humbly before her

Saviya: I have been told that you seek the winged ones of the southern plains?

Kyra: "Did anything strange happen to you - anything that might have caused you to start loosing control like that?" Kyra asks Rand

Stylixxt: yesssss yessss thoze are what we sseek wize one

Kyra bows her head in acknowledgement to the old woman, indicating that it is so

Rand: "Nothing i know of, unless it is from that were-rabbit that apperantly hit me near freeport" Rand says

Stylixxt: well him in particular pointing to toryn... he is not what he seems outwardly whcih you are probably already aware of..

Saviya: Those that normally seek them seek to take away the freedom of the skies that their goddess gave to them. Durril tells me this is not your intention.

Kyra: "A were-rabbit? What on earth is that? it sounds like a hellish creature to me!"

Rand: "But this was different then turning into a were-rabbit" Rand continues

Stylixxt: for my part i seek audience with great horse lord....this is toryn by my side he is a paladin a noble paladin..transformed into this ....removing toryns hooded cloak so all around can see his true form

Rand: "A were-rabbit, as i understand it from the others, is a rabbit that turns into a ferocious monster during full moons" Rand tells, "Like me in that barn a few weeks ago"

Vincent (Rand): you weren't there, but i turned into a were-rabbit last game

There are gasps from the gypsies

Stylixxt: he seeks the winged horse for his own reasons led by a dream ...

Wendy (Kyra): ok! bwhaha

IJdo (Rouge): tied him up with a natural 20 roll :P

Saviya: Hmmmm....do you know what this dream was about?

Kyra: "It must be that then - I wonder if there might be a cure for such as this. Maybe the Oracle knows ..."

Vincent (Rand): and all of you got lucky as i didn't bite anyone

Rand: "I still think that it isn't that" Rand says, "Maybe i should meditate on it and ask Druzzil for insight into my own situation"

Stylixxt: unfortunately his condition leads him to inner conflict sometimes he is himself with all the virtues that only a paladin can live upto ...other times he is like this unable to feed himself says stylixxt sadly

Kyra: "Asking your gods is always a wise idea - but why do you think it isn't the were-rabbit's bite?"

Rand: "The were-rabbit thing was a much slower transformation, in hind-sight that is." Rand says, "I started itching and slowly felt myself loose control. This was not the case this afternoon"
