"In my travels was caught by a storm, but no common storm, lightning of many colors, the land shattered and start to float like in a river, chuncks of land that didnt belong that came from other places that the storm had pass, i assume, then chunks of land started to turn sideways and upsidedown."Brewner starts to laugh " It was madness, this is not the tale of some scared traveler, but the truth"A frown appears now on his face "There was this beast, never saw something like that, the fiend was able to put a mark on me but i ended his life", he sighs "I was able to get out of this chaos by hopping from chunk to chunk, like a damn rabbit!" he starts laughing again his good mood turning back " To be honest i am quite lost, not sure where i am, the land around me changed completely. I followed smoke encounter the keep first, the guards that took me here told me is guarded by the undead".

Epic! You’re like a magnificent hopping hero. Oh! Hopper! Can I call you Hopper? Okay Hopper … Mr Hopper?… So, I can’t say that I’ve done anything quite as remarkable myself! But there was this one time I broke some crystal pieces off the side of a cave wall and got a headache. Ishzu was there, he can tell you all about it - tell them Ishzu… Ish? Where’d you go? Hey Oliver, where’s Ishzu? Ander, Ander my good sir, where did the crystal go?

**Oops - sorry I meant to write "where did the crystal man go?"

"Grin, the crystal thing was an hour ago!" and Oliver laughed heartily.

"But yeah, speak of the crystal devil, where has Ishzu gone? I reckon he needs some space. He really has taken this crystal business to heart. He'll tell us when he's ready. I hope."

"Brewner, was it? I didn't hear you saying it, but some lads in those tables murmured your name. What kind of lasting mark did the fiend leave on you?"

Toblen Stonehill
Your party doesn't stand out too much in the crowded tavern. The guards have seen adventurers come and go, there are two other parties, one is familiar and wear their badges identifying them as official scouts of the expedition and the other unfamiliar and with not marking. A couple dock hands take a table to one side and another table has porters that work for the researchers. Those who have been here a while know the canina, to the south, is a bit more mellow and is often the place to find the researchers and local craftsmen, though some of each type of clientele visit the other establishment regularly by their own preference. A maid and youth are the servers while Toblen is usually behind the bar and his wife runs the kitchen. Some say that is why he stays out front or she would run him too. Toblen, being wise, always praises the heavens for a caring, skilled, and fetching wife.

"Hopper sounds perfect", Brewner says with a smile.

"Want i meant to say was that the beast was able to strike me, a little scratch nothing to worry about Mr. Oliver"

Ishzu walks into the tavern. He finds Oliver, Grin, and Ander. Speaking mentally only to themFiznik and I just spoke. He thinks we should speak with my contact. Are you willing to travel with me to see them?
Feb 20, 2024 2:54 pm
Huh? Grin spins around to find Ishzu standing there. Ahhh, the man of the hour, as shiny as ever, my dear crysal…crysmal…crystal… yes that’s the one. Hopper, meet our good friend Ishzu the crystal hero. whispering really loudly, he says: -he speaks with his mind- and Ishzu, this is Mr Brewner of … he’s from somewhere with scary storms and sorcery… he’s a big deal!

Ander respond to kind telepathy, by popping promptly to mental attention!
Yes, Ishzu, you know I will help you. Count me in.
Our knightly fellow gazes emerald eyes upon his fellow adventurers, and nods in stalwart solemnity. Presuming they are all thinking the same way.

Ishzu gives Brewner a stiff bow and he hears in his head a monotone voice"Good day My Brewner. I am Ishzu. Will you be joining us on our travels?"

Feeling quite fond of Ander's solemnity on this occassion, Oliver nods as well, supressing a chuckle at the thought of being serious.

"The more the merrier! You're going to love the underdark, Brewner. There are deadly mantles who turn you blind and pierce you from above, swarms of spiders with a single amalgamate consciousness in crystal form... And there's even a cave with a gelatin cube, which I'm sure is a huge dessert. I still need to see that last one, though."
OOC:
No pressure on choosing where to go, though

Lets go meet my contact. After we travel above ground via the spider area
Feb 20, 2024 8:57 pm
OOC:
Agreed!
Wait! Before we leave… I might need to use the lavatory! Grin is kind of drunk…can you tell?
Feb 20, 2024 9:53 pm
"Oh my, and eat something! I haven't eaten anything! If it were for Ishzu, we'd all starve... Do you eat at all, Ishzu? Come to think of it, I have not seen you eat anything ever. Same goes for Ander, but he seems to be very human and his knightly presence looks healthy and well fed."

Then Oliver approached the bartender.
"Hello, fine sir. Do you have stew or something similar? One for me, and one for any of my companions who comes asking."
Feb 20, 2024 10:34 pm
"Fascinating speaking with the mind, you have to teach me that trick", Brewner takes a big breath " To the underdark then, where adventure and fortune awaits, i hope, lead the way brave companions" and then he finished his drink in one go

"I do not need to Eat, Drink, or Sleep. I can go into a stasis to repair any injuries." Still awkwardly standing by the table. "I will lead us to our next excursion. Please let me know when you are ready.

Ander readies his gear and finishes his ale.
I am ready, he eventually says.
Feb 21, 2024 12:06 am
Grinfletch excuses himself. When he returns, he chugs a full glass of water and eats a bowl of Oliver’s stew. Ahhhhhh, very refreshed and ready for your excursion, Ishzu. Where are we going? Do we need anything special? Shouldn’t we collect pay for clearing the spider cave? I spent most of my money on my shiny outfit and this fancy leather armor.
Feb 21, 2024 6:30 am
Oliver hurries over his stew and glass of water.
"Excellent. I am ready now. I'll follow you."
OOC:
Is it assumed that we left the big crystal at the cave but brought the smaller ones?
Feb 21, 2024 2:12 pm
OOC:
yes, Fiznik will watch the crystal for a day or so while you make up your minds about how to do it. You have the rest in pouches.
Ishzu explained s bit about what it took for him to get here and you decide it will take much of a day just to get there, at least 4 hours. Ishzu had been underground for a long time so is not aware about the exact time it took to travel.
OOC:
I will take your down to that caves later today. You can leave now or in the morning after shopping it whatever then resting the night here.

OOC:
Do i need to buy any equipment? Torches?
