A Strange New Desert

It is mid-afternoon, and you and your companions are sitting in the common room of The Hunter’s Mark. You have just finished clearing a cavern of Manticores for Sir Stannon, Captain of the Town Guard at Lyn’s Ascendance, the capital city of Dia Monde. You arrive at the inn, wash, refresh yourselves and order food and beer. You are halfway through your meal when a messenger rushes into the room.

Excuse me sirs. I bear a message for _________.

OOC:

Who are you? What do you call yourselves?
Please write an introductory post to introduce what your character looks like, their skillset, and why the group loves to have them around. As a bonus, if you have a good idea for a group of adventurers, have at it!

Re: A Strange New Desert

Cailean leans back in his chair and hoists his a flagon of his own brewed stock of ale to his lips and takes a long drink of it. His well worn clothes somewhat clash with his Elvish boots, exceptional cloak, and well crafted bracers that peek out from under his work shirt. A dagger in both boots and a quarterstaff are his only visible weapons, but the smudge of manticore blood on the toe of his well made boots, and the specks that blend in with his own red hair are enough for the learned observer to know that he doesn't need a weapon to be deadly. With a quick glance at the bartender, he reaches into his finely crafted satchel and pulls out a small wooden barrel and several shot glasses. Pouring an amber looking liquid into each of the glasses he passes the shots to his companions. "Well now, since we finished the mission, gathered some coin, then a toast to a job well done... May you live as long as you want, and never want as long as you live." After drinking it down, he gathers up the barrel, the glasses, and stows them into his satchel. "So what's next?"

Re: A Strange New Desert

Baerkohm watches quietly, as he does anytime the group is around other people. He eats hurriedly, if a bit barbarically. His bald head gleams in the light inside The Hunter's Mark, his golden beard festooned with small bone totems and bits of cured sticks as decoration. His eyes, one deep brown the other the color of deep water ice in winter, observe everything, always finding ways out of his current position. A variety of small creature furs dangle from his belt. His stocky body is covered by a heavy robe featuring a dizzying array of patches with interesting little pictures. A heavy pack sits on the ground as he drinks his ale out of his own tankard. Though you've watched him put away the better part of almost 2 gallons of ale, he doesn't seem any worse for wear. The one item that never seems to leave his side is the gnarled and twisted staff that you've always known him to have. Though he bears a slight odor of the outdoors at all times, in the times you've traveled together, he's always had a keen sense of where you were and where you needed to be going. His ability to find food on the trail is unmatched and his restorative magics have always been very helpful.

When the messenger bursts in, he turns his attentions to the lad and quirks an eyebrow. I think we may find out Cailean, if you can pull yourself out of yer cups for a moment.

Re: A Strange New Desert

For his name being Quiet he is know to be very loud in social situations. GREAT STUFF CAILEAN! You never disappoint. Quiet's fur is a silky black with deep black eyes. His appearance is always clean, Quiet makes sure of that with his constant grooming even if it isn't the best time to do it. His leather armor matches his fur. Hidden beneath his armor lay a few daggers that are almost impossible to see. However he does carry a short bow on his back and a rapier hanging from his hip. Quiet is most at home out in the wild. Quiet tends to take off earlier or faster than everyone else in order to get information before returning back to let his companions know what he saw. His black fur and quiet paws are a great help when stalking prey. Quiet likes to keep his distance when fighting however his sharp claws come in handy when in hand to hand combat. He is also a bit knowledgeable in the ways of magic. His has know connections to some of the more shady parts of town thanks to his previous employment. He doesn't really talk about it much though unless asked, in which case he lets out almost every detail very loudly which often gets him in trouble.

Re: A Strange New Desert

Wulfram sits at the head of the table, which is customary at this point. His companions know Wulfram needs to feel like his is the most important member of the party. His full plate mail reflects the flickering of the fire and you can tell he has just recently polished and repaired any dents from the previous adventure. He must take great care in his armor to keep it smooth and shinny because you remember several times he took some serious hits from a monster.
Wulfram sits in the table straight and looks over his party with a slight bit of annoyance and a touch of disdain. He is not used to traveling with such a rag tag group, but he has eventually come to appreciate each as a traveling companion.
Wulfram appears to be deep in thought and if you were to watch him close enough you could almost see a design flicker on the table surface, but in another moment it is gone.

[ +- ] Prestidigitation

Wulfram silently takes the cup offered by Cailean - this is not a normal thing to happen as Wulfram is usually always giving Cailean a hard time about his liquors - generally calling his wears 'goat piss not fit for peasants'.
He makes a non - approving sound when the big cat speaks up.

"Quite - why do you always shout...." Wulfram grumbles more to himself than anyone else.

As the messenger arrives Wulfram slams his fist onto the table generating a very load and unnatural sound. He stands up to face the messenger.

[ +- ] Prestidigitation

"You have come to speak to me, out with it then...." Wulfram awaits a response.

Re: A Strange New Desert

Araaz Syl'a Var'ran is a half-elf monk/cleric. Bald except for a braided ponytail on the back of his head, he is a finely toned and muscular man dressed in monks robes. With his black smithing skills and adequate martial skills he is an acceptable member of this party. Sometimes he feels like Wulfram only tolerates him in order to keep his armor looking good, but for the most part he is likable. He is slow to trust others but when he does, he is one of the most loyal friends a body can have. He looks at Cailean in amusement as he drinks from his mug of ale. "Can you not see he's not in the mood Cail?"

Cailean looks at his companion, "Raz, I understand that, but just cause he’s ina bad mood doesn’t mean that he needs to take it out on the messenger.. And Baerkohm," Cailean lets out a loud belch, "just cause I always drink, doesn’t mean I’m always drunk, it just means I’ve got a head start." Cailean turns back to the messenger. "So my good man, what can this intrepid group of rabble rousers do for ya, and more importantly who sent ya?"

The messenger points to his tabbard. This is the symbol of his house. you see a golden lion rampant on a red field. The Duke is a marvellous man. He's intelligent, well bred and his fashion style is impeccable. He owns great swathes of lands and he is rich beyond imagining and yet he always has time for commoners.

OOC:

@Cailean you hear what appears to be absolute hero worship or maybe even infatuation. He's definitely sincere either way.

I speak, for the first time, running my hand through my black mohawk and ponytail. I never trust a rich man who "cares" about commoners. They don't know our struggles to relate to us. But I suppose if he has gold to spare, I would be willing to take some off of his hands. I stand and the sleeves of my black robe fall back over my deep red arm skin. My black eyes close for a second. Let us away, fellow adventurers, for Arina.

Re: A Strange New Desert

The messenger leads you through the merchant quarter and past the various shops and guild halls and into the Upper Quater. The guards posted at the entrance give you group a measuring glance and seem as if they are about to challenge you but one of them notices the messenger's tabbard and places his arm in front of his companion and you are allowed to enter. You walk past several large town houses surrounded by high walls made from white marble. The quater is filled with trees and parks and the walk is quite lovely. After a short walk, you see a house flying a flag with the same colours as the messenger's tabbard. You are escorted through the gardens, into the house, up the stairs and into a waiting room.

Everything about this house screams wealth, from the luxurious drapes, tapestries, paintings and vases that line the walls through to the incredibly well made furniture and lavish display of silver and gold ornaments that meet your eyes wherever you choose to look.

After a short while the door opens and a man in his mid-thirties enters dressed entirely in scarlet and gold. His beard and moustaches are closely trimmed and waxed.
He opens his arms and greets you warmly.

Ah my friends. Welcome to my humble abode! Let me offer my congratulations on your last job. Fancy that! The slayers of the Chimera in my house! Lady Sivilia is going to be so jealous when she finds out! Anyway, your credentials do you credit! Sir Stannon speaks very highly of you! You are quite the talk of the town!
He seems to end almost every sentence with extra emphasis, as if he is either very excited or he seems to think that everything he has to say is very important.

Re: A Strange New Desert

Araaz thinks back to the days in his youth when he would spy on his fathers meetings. He thought he was quite good at it until his father caught him on one occasion. His father began to teach him the proper addresses and etiquette of the court. These lessons, however, were few and far between due to his mothers illness.
Drawing from his limited knowledge of such things, Araaz says to the Duke, "You flatter us, Your Grace, but of course. It's what we do after all!" Araaz nods his head to the man in a show of measured respect. Not a bow, for he is not acquainted with this man and owes him no allegiance or deference. Araaz believes that everyone deserves a measure of respect. That respect can grow or dwindle depending on ones actions, but all people deserve at least some. Actions do speak louder than words after all.
"Now, for what purpose did you request our presence this day?" He patiently waits for the Duke to explain the summons.

This fine man is surely a big fan of, yours truly." As he reaches the front, he does a grandiose bow, accompanied with a shower of rose petals and two doves that flutter from behind him.

My what a colourful bunch you are! Reminds me of the good old days at seminary school! Why we got up to some mischief then aye! Anyway, to business!
Gentlemen, I am vexed! As you know my Dukedom is to the east. The land is very fertile but something odd has happened recently! This bloody desert has appeared in the middle of my lands! No one can tell me how it got there or how to get rid of it! Worse, it appears to be spreading! Faster than any natural desertification should. My profits from the harvest look slim. I tell you gentlemen, I am at a loss. My guardsmen and magic users in the area are stumped! I heard of your success with the Chimera den. No small feat that! So I want to hire the best in the business to deal with my desert problem! In return for your services, how does 5,000 gold sound?

Cailean moves over to a window, pointing it out of the window and says the magic word. "Geyser," as a 30 foot blast of water sprays out of the window. "If ya can find yer own, it might help till we figure out what yer problem is." He places the cap back, puts it back into his bag, and picks his tankard back up.

@Wulfram: you see a number of pieces that appear to depict famous scenes if battle as the knights battle against various enemies, undead and dragons but whether they come from the north or not is anyone's guess.

He looks at Rykl and waves off your offence.
Oh I'm sure your deserts are fine for your kind of people but this is Dia Monde!

Then he turns to Salvadore.
5,000 gold is a lot of money! More than you're likely to see in the next ten years of Chimera hunting! 5 more jobs like this and you could buy a small house in the Upper Quarter! 10 more jobs like this and you could buy a peerage! I don't actually know a lot of the details but if you head to the village of Snowsden. The local guardmen and my personal retainers should be able to present you with the relevant information! Just clear this up for me! I will be in your debt!

"Well friends, what do you think?" Araaz asks the party while putting away his notes. "5000 Gp is a decent price I suppose. And we have a starting point now. Should we go to this Snowsden village to get more information?" He turns just in time to see Ryki's prank, but he doesn't recognize the action for what it was. Seeing that Wulfram and Quiet have wandered off a little to peruse the art hanging on the walls, and Cailean and Ryki seem to be arguing about something a little, he asks again, "Um, hello, my friends? Was no one else paying attention to our host regarding our task? Or were the walls and drink more interesting?"

OOC:

Is there a messenger or a butler or someone still in the room, or somewhere nearby, p that we can talk to for directions to Snowsden village? Or do we already know where that is?

He turns to Araaz "What was there to pay attention to? There is a fast growing desert that we are getting paid to take care of. Pretty straightforward, don't exactly need to give your undivided attention to catch that." He turns and smiles at Cailean "All this desert talk making you thirsty?"

"I agree...simple mission, not much more to do here" Wulfram speaks up as he makes his way back over to the group. As Wulfram preparation to leave the estate he puts his hand on the shoulder of the proprietor and squeezes a little harder than necessary and whispers something into his ear.

You finish your wines and the servant looks a little nervous. He rushes off and appears a few moments later. He leads you to the front gate and then wordlessly hands you a small satchel. Inside you find a letter explaining your quest and giving you the full authority of Lord Byron himself! You also find a small wooden case sealed with wax.

Wulfram first reviews the document to make sure he did not miss anything crucial to the assignment. Once satisfied with the document he hands it out to the nearest companion.
"Official papers...anyone want to review or shall I keep for safe?" Wulfram waits a moment. He then takes the small wooden case out and gives it a gentle shake.

In the end, the dwarf drinks only beer from his large jug, and only ever out of the battered tankard on his hip. His eyes sparkle for a moment in the red light when the sparks shoot out.

You open the box but despite the surprise you manage to hold onto the box. You don't take any damage and the sparks don't have any obvious effects. An arcana check could tell you more.

Looking inside the box you see five small emerald green vials each about the size of a test tube. They are resting in a box lined with silk and other expensive forms of padding.

I assume everyone takes a great potion on healing and we all prepare for a dungeon crawl. Wulfram would make sure his armorn is freshly polished first and foremost. How many healing potions can we hold at a time? Wulfram would make sure we have a good amount of rope and someone have a crowbar before we left. Also even a short ride Wulfram would expect to take a horse so he would use his nobility to get a horse one way or another. I also assume we travel with enough rations for like 10 days.

Btw Wulfram, there are 6 in the party and 5 vials. Araaz will pass on taking one of the potions we were given, and everyone else can take one.

Regarding healing potions. You could probably fit about 10 into your backpack but only keep 2-3 within easy reach, as in be able to use in combat in a single turn.

Well Cailean travels by broom, so if we all have horses, mine can be a pack horse for carrying extra supplies. I have 20 days worth of rations and I also have the decanter of endless water so we won't need to go crazy on carrying water. Plus if we can't figure out the problem with the desert I can just spend the next few months hovering over it shouting out geyser and get 30 gallons of water spraying out every turn. So we can maybe put a pin in it and keep that as plan B.

Re: A Strange New Desert

You make your way to the stables, saddle your horses and set off for Snowsden. The roads surrounding Lyn's Ascendance are very busy and safe. The congestion is a little bad and you get stuck behind a caravan for an hour or so. But after a couple of hours of travel the road thins out and you set your own pace.

The day passes uneventfully for the most part, and as sunset approaches you come to a small, insignificant little farming village. It has an inn, a market, a blacksmithy and not much else.

You approach the inn and see the wooden sign shapped like a woman's silhouette. On the sign there is a yellow lyre and the words The Bard's Inspiration.

You head into the inn and find it surprisingly full. Still you talk to the barkeep and there are rooms available. 1 gold for a private room and 4 silver for a bunk in the common room.

You pay your fare, which includes a meal and sit down in one of the booths. You can't help but overhear snippets of an exciting conversation coming from the next booth.

I'll tell you we're going to be rich! Do you have any idea how much a nob'll pay for a winter wolf cloak? Gavin swears the tracks are no more than a day old. The pack are heading for the mountains to the south-east!

Quiet you fool another, stern voice interjects.
You never know who's listening.

You look at your companions and continue with your meal.

Is there a quest/notice board in the inn or did we see one outside? If so Araaz would like to look at it at some point.
Also, just out of curiosity, how are we looking at individual wealth? Whatever our background stated or would we have more by now? I would like to take a peek into the market in the morning before we continue if Araaz has enough to be worth looking. You never know what you might find!

Wulfram has been silent and very calm until the mention of the winter wolf. As the words reach his ears he shifts uncomfortable in his seat and removes a bit of parchment concealed in a pocket close to his left forearm. He unravels the parchments and scans it quickly before placing in back under his gauntlet armor.
"We need to acquire this wolf" he says in a whisper almost to himself but just loud enough you would hear if you were listening. He makes a gesture for Ryki to let him out of the booth.

OOC:

As no one seems to interested in hunting the wolves I'm going to move us all to Snowden.

You saddle your mounts and head off. The weather is unseasonably hot. This late in the year the rains usually come but the sky is a beautiful sky blue and there's not a cloud in the sky. You travel for several more hours before the vegetation starts to look a little unhealthy. The edges of the leaves look a little dry and by the time it gets to late afternoon you spot your first skeleton trees. This must be the edge of the desert you summize as the road has been following pasure for the past few hours and while the fencing still remains, the grass has mostly died away to be replaced by hot dry earth. As it is getting late in the afternoon you could either push on towards Snowden and probably make it shortly after dark or you could make camp for the evening.

Moving on is a wise choice. We have torches and can help with the issue of not seeing. Better for many to be in a bed, not under the desert trees. Baerkohm says firmly, pulling a torch from his pack, but not yet lighting it.

As you make your way towards Snowden, Wulfram draws your attention to what appears to be some kind of campfire in the distance. It is quite a way off the main road. The people around it would probably pose little threat to you if you just passed through.

@Bigdog, you know that elementals come from the elemental planes. Fire elementals cannot exist outside of the fire elemental plane except for in certain, rare locations where travel between the planes is possible. Also, some magic users can summon them for limited periods of time.

As for magical reagents. The ash left from a fire elemental corpse is a very valuable magical component and can be used as a base to brew potions of fire resistance.

So a couple of options. You could attempt to sneak by in which case I'll call for a relatively easy stealth check or you could attempt to ambush the creature which will require a more difficult stealth check.

Either way please vote:
1. Sneak through to Snowden.
2. Ambush the fire elemental.

I'll take the path with the most votes in 24 hours.

"Yes, it is possible these creatures have something to do with the desert forming. We should get rid of them." Wulfram says as he turns and faces the direction of the fire elemental.
"Take flight and douse then with water until dead. I will follow once you have engaged enemy." Wulfram is speaking to those with the brooms and the decanters.

OOC:

I vote to attack the elementals, but Wulfram doesn’t have much stealth so he may wait until combat is initiated so you guys can get a surprise round.

Baerkohm quietly flies forward, stopping about 25 feet overhead the fire creature. Sitting up on his broom, he pulls his totem out of his pocket, thankful for the leather string that holds the small collection of wolf teeth and hawk feathers to his belt. A quick invocation and a snap of his wrist, and a long thorny vine streaks out towards the fire elemental below.

Casting thorn whip. If it hits, I am going to yank the elemental (provided it's Large or smaller) 10 feet into the air and then let it drop. Not sure if this would cause any falling damage (1d6, maybe, since it would fall 10 full feet).

Re: A Strange New Desert

The constant downpower of water washes over tge fire elemental and it silently writhes and twists and tries to escape from the stream. All the rest of you attempt to keep your distance and attack the creature from range with the sole exception if Wulfram who advances on his foe blade extended and shield at the ready.

After you pummel the elemental with missile after missile, Baerkohm speaks an incantation and a massive rope like vine picks up the elemental and flings him into the air. The elemental falls to the ground and thin slithers up to attack Araaz. Rather than stopping and attacking, the elemental moves right on top of him setting parts of his clothes and hair on fire.

OOC:

Take 9 points of fire damage and you are now on fire. You may dose the flames as an action.

Then it makes two attacks and Araaz tries to dodge out of the way of its fiery fists. In the end he is hald successful.

OOC:

Take another 14 points of fire damage.

Then the combined assault of your task force destroys the creatures physical form and banishes it back to the elemental plane of fire.

Combat is now over. What do you do?

"Ahhhh no fair!" He shouts in frustration to his flying companions. He will turn begin to inspect the area and attempt to collect the ashes from the fire elemental.
"Arrazzz you took good hit...feeling Ok? Maybe you should stop, drop and do the roll." Wulfram laughs as he speaks the last bit.

He would have only taken the damage from the fire elemental moving into his space then.

You quickly gather your things and head east along the road to Snowden. You arrive well into the evening at perhaps 10 o'clock. You make your way to the town's single inn, The Butchered Mare, and order rooms and meals.

3 silver each for a berth in the common room and 50 silver if you would like to rent a room.

The next morning you rise with the dawn and head to the office of the mayor. There you are greeted by a man decked in wizard's robes who introduces himself as Lord Byron's personal retainer Naardin Malukia.

Re: A Strange New Desert

A slight middle aged man leaned against the wall, deep green robes fitting his form comfortably. As he noticed the group and forced himself fully upright, the many bottles and baubles dangling from a leather bandolier slung across his chest jingled lightly against one another. "Ah, gentlemen. Glad to see you." said Naardin with a friendly smile beneath the upturned hood of a dark blue cloak. He pressed his shiny gauntleted hands into a sort of prayer gesture and bowed his head slightly. "I am Naardin Malukai, chief mage of Lord Byron. I've been informed you're here to help decipher the method of the sudden desertification of the area."

The wizard stepped forward and stuck out his hand, a broom in the corner flying towards it and resting with a clatter into the outstretched limb. Wrapped along it's length we're an assortment of bags and containers strapped in with rope and leather to keep them safe and sound midflight. "I'm coming with you of course. My specialty is Transmutation, but my current theory is something a little more planar. I need more information and a crew to help me get it safely. I trust the ride over here wasn't too eventful?"

Re: A Strange New Desert

Naardin grabs a paper from a scrollcase on his broom, and a quill from a small vial of ink on his chest. He scribbles something idly on the paper as he responds. "Yes, that it is. It's odd they only seem to appear at night. I don't know elementals of any sort to follow any regimented nocturnal or diurnal period of activity. The elemental planes are less regimented than our own in terms of a day night cycle. Particularly the one that is a sea of fire."

He flips the cap closed and it clicks shut, signalling he's finished his note taking. "I suspect there's a portal they're coming through, and that it may be at the center of this new desert. Even that's mostly conjecture though. Hopefully travel will grant us some insight. Any questions? Are you all ready to shove off as it were?" the wizard asks, a single eybrow raised.

I don't think they are the cause of the deforestation. fire is part of the natural way of a forest that allows new vegetation to occur but if I recall correctly I saw no ashes or burnt remains of trees.

Water works, but if they keep coming through the portal, no telling how much water we may need. Perhaps the primary goal would be to destroy the portal if it exists and then we can mess with the elementals themselves. Or if you know anyone who can control some water elementals, perhaps we can use them

Re: A Strange New Desert

Naardin cracked a smile at the conversation before stepping back in himself. "Flying brooms and a decanter of endless water are certainly two of the tools I'd planned to use against these foes. Certainly we'll have to fight more than one, but the plan is to diagnose why they're appearing and cut it off before their numbers grow too unmanageable. They only come out to play at night for now. It stands to reason if we can close their access during the day we won't have to deal with nearly so many. We're a strike team, not a mobilizing force. I plan to cut the problem off at the source rather than dam a river."

At the last question he gave a resigned half shrug. "It all depends on how it's held open. Whether it's a permanent fixture or a temporary one, whether a new one opens every night or the same one opens periodically, whether or not it's even a portal at all. There are many different mechanisms, and until we get a closer look at what's going on I don't think we're going to get much more insight into which this one uses."

You ask around and hear that a little over a month ago a traveller appeared in Snowden. This traveller appeared to be a drow but he was very polite and asked if there were any druid circles in the surrounding area. The local villages told him that there is indeed a druid circle and it is located to the north and west, an area that must have surely been effected by the desertification.
A week or so after the traveller left, the desertification began.

After you make your preperations you head west into the desert. You head to the area where your infornant told you that a druid circle is rumoured to be located.

@Baerkohm: As you are travelling you notice a strange arrangement of stones. Placed together they spell out the rune for water in the druidic language. The rune seems to be pointing towards the north east.

A group of three figures approach you from within the cave. They introduce themselves as Galena, Eyrwyn and Vleria, the speakers of the Emeral Grove. They point deeper into the cave and gesture for you all to follow them.

Re: A Strange New Desert

Cailean follows behind Baerkohm. "Well hello there, ma names Cailean it's nice to... oh I guess their wanting us to follow them then." Cailean leans into to Baerkohm and elbows him, "Interesting friends ya have down here, nice and chatty." Turning back to the others, Cailean shoulders his broom and starts to walk down the cave. "Alright, come on you lot, let's get down there. It does look a bit nicer than what's left outside."

Re: A Strange New Desert

Wulfram dismounts from his horse, does a quick check of his inventory to make sure he is ready for an encounter, and makes his way to stand next to Cailean.
"What’s all this now?" he whispers to Cailean.
"Walking into s cave with strangers?"

"I know right, I can’t believe they’re letting us in. It’s such an exclusive cave. Luckily Baerkohm knew a guy to get us in." With that, Cailean smiles and turns into the cave and walks down.

Re: A Strange New Desert

As your new hosts lead you deeper into the cave you notice a small stream starts to flow beside the rock on the left side of the path. After about ten minutes or so, the cave opens up into a massive cavern filled with tropical looking flaura and fauna. Your guides lead you deeper into the grove and you see other members of the Emerald Grove going about their daily business, picking delicious looking fruit and fishing from a massive subterranean lake.

Your guides take you to a large tree and there you find an array of delicious treats spread out before you.

Welcome friends. Be at ease and rest. We can talk as we eat.

Re: A Strange New Desert

We thank you for your generosity Galena, as well as that of the Emerald Grove. As I mentioned earlier, we have been charged with investigating the strange desertification of the land. We have already encountered and dispatched a rogue fire elemental that was wreaking havoc. Baerkohm says as he settles down into a cross-legged seat, plucking a sweet looking fruit from the array of treats.

"This place is beautiful. My mother would have loved to see such a beautiful display." Araaz says as he gazes at the surrounding scenery. He approaches the tree and places his hand on its trunk feeling the grain of the bark. He then seats himself near Baerkohm and partakes of the offered fruit.

Re: A Strange New Desert

Cailean sits on the ground looking around with a open awe and wonder. He reaches and grabs some fruit taking a big bite letting the juices run down his front. "What an amazin place you've made fer yerself down here. I've never seen a cave with it's own fruit trees before."

Re: A Strange New Desert

Naardin continued scrawling rough images across sheets 9f parchment as they descended into the cave. As soon as one was full it was wrapped and replaced in a scroll case and a fresh one entered his scribbling hands. "I am Naardin Malukai. I can't thank you enough for extending us your hospitality. I'm sure this encroaching desert is just as big a concern for yourselves as it is hid lordship." at Cailean's words he jotted a not to himself to look into growing plants in the dark, then reached happily for a large red fruit with a sweet puppy flesh. "We'd heard someone else may have come poking around your Grove, and that perhaps you might be able to she'd some light on the situation. Anything you can tell us would go a great deal towards helping stop this phenomenon before it hits an irreversible tipping point."

"Wulfram Hinderust of the Winter Knights." Wulfram barks as he thumps his chest in the customary fashion for introduction.
"Yes like companions said on way in we met with fire monsters and were able to destroy one easily...however there was many more. I have sample of fire monster dust if you care to barter." Wulfram speaks to no one in particular as he takes a seat and eyes the food provided. A moment after he gets more settled he takes a small piece of fruit in hand.

Quiet quickly and quietly jumps into the tree and curls up. This is a great spot for a cat nap
