[Tue Jan 23 20:25:17 2007] : (1) DM: It's late afternoon and the smell of the two dead dragons hangs in the air. Swarms of flies are attracted to the congealed blood and vultures circle overhead.
[Tue Jan 23 20:25:50 2007] : (3) Adrin: "Maybe camping around here isn't such a good idea"
[Tue Jan 23 20:26:06 2007] : (4) Aliatra: ooc Nice picture you're painting here, David
[Tue Jan 23 20:26:16 2007] : (5) Lia: "Maybe it isn't"

[Tue Jan 23 20:26:45 2007] : (2) Dan: "I think it likely that the lair has been looted by the killers of the mother dragon"
[Tue Jan 23 20:26:47 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "Since Lia needs time skinning them we might as well have a look for their lair"
[Tue Jan 23 20:26:50 2007] : (5) Lia: "So let us not go too far either"
[Tue Jan 23 20:27:04 2007] : (5) Lia: ooc ah, thought I had skinned already

[Tue Jan 23 20:30:49 2007] : (3) Adrin: "You're pretty good with that knife. Remind me not to fall asleep with you annoyed at me"
[Tue Jan 23 20:30:52 2007] : (1) DM: ooc techincally it was a medium dragon.

[Tue Jan 23 20:36:41 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "Just make sure you don't carry too much, especially not when tired. Want me to take that hide?"
[Tue Jan 23 20:36:43 2007] : (2) Dan: "Yes, maybe you guys can find some signs of them in there"

[Tue Jan 23 20:58:56 2007] : (2) Dan: "Shall we head to the cliffs? Maybe we followed a totally random set of tracks?"
[Tue Jan 23 20:59:27 2007] : (2) Dan: "According to my studies of the arcane, a green dragon will normally lair in the woods"

[Tue Jan 23 21:00:51 2007] : (2) Dan: "Yes, let's continue. We're nearly there anyway"
[Tue Jan 23 21:01:20 2007] : (3) Adrin: Adrin leads the way

[Tue Jan 23 21:05:30 2007] : (5) Lia: "Which is what we should be doing"
[Tue Jan 23 21:05:32 2007] : (2) Dan: "we certainly use that expression in the mountains Adrin"
[Tue Jan 23 21:05:54 2007] : (2) Dan: "I think that they probably killed, came then went"
[Tue Jan 23 21:06:14 2007] : (3) Adrin: "Mountains, upwards... makes sense"
[Tue Jan 23 21:06:16 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "Yeah, well,m you're forever going upwards in the mountains, aren't you?"
[Tue Jan 23 21:06:53 2007] : (2) Dan: "Let's have a look at the caves, I've never seen a dragon's lair. This should be a treat."
[Tue Jan 23 21:07:09 2007] : (3) Adrin: "Sounds good"
[Tue Jan 23 21:07:23 2007] : (2) Dan: "Well, it's upwards for quite a while in the mountains, and then it's downhill for a while usually"

[Tue Jan 23 21:09:03 2007] : (2) Dan: "Some of our warriors journey to the tops as a feat of great courage and endurance"
[Tue Jan 23 21:09:23 2007] : (2) Dan: "So do we wait for morning now?"
[Tue Jan 23 21:09:34 2007] : (5) Lia: "I definitely have a thing for the woods"
[Tue Jan 23 21:09:44 2007] : (5) Lia: "Although I must say I am getting used to the city"

[Tue Jan 23 22:16:51 2007] : (5) Lia (whispering): ok, I'm actually trying to gauge the playulness of the being. Nature stuff, I'm naturally drawn to it I would say.
[Tue Jan 23 22:17:00 2007] : (2) Dan: ooc doesn't the PHB tell you?
[Tue Jan 23 22:17:41 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: "Answer the riddle and you win the gold that lies forgotten here in the lake, fail and the gold stays here. Oh do say, yes!"
[Tue Jan 23 22:17:48 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: ooc not really in a helpful way.
[Tue Jan 23 22:17:52 2007] : (5) Lia: to the water Sprite "I would play just for the sake of playing. A riddle by a water creature cannot be but full of nature's spirit"

[Tue Jan 23 22:18:10 2007] : (3) Adrin: "Sounds like fun"

[Tue Jan 23 22:18:43 2007] : (5) Lia: "I accept. For myself. Let my friends speak for themselves"
[Tue Jan 23 22:18:55 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: "Then answer me this: 'We rise, we turn, we fall, we hide. Who are we?"
[Tue Jan 23 22:18:56 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "Seems to be no harm in it. An d we can go free, unharmed, no matter who wins or loses?"

[Tue Jan 23 22:21:46 2007] : (2) Dan: "I'm not sure that they hide though"
[Tue Jan 23 22:21:56 2007] : (5) Lia: whispering to her companions the seasons? The leaves? Leaves through seasons?
[Tue Jan 23 22:22:19 2007] : (2) Dan: "Perrennial plants?"
[Tue Jan 23 22:22:20 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "Do leaves rise?"
[Tue Jan 23 22:22:33 2007] : (5) Lia: "in spring they grow, yes."
[Tue Jan 23 22:22:33 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: "Let me know when you decide on a final answer."
[Tue Jan 23 22:22:44 2007] : (2) Dan: "The crocus for example. Although I'm not sure how they turn"
[Tue Jan 23 22:22:45 2007] : (3) Adrin: "Sun and moon sound good"
[Tue Jan 23 22:22:53 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "We will, ma'am"
[Tue Jan 23 22:22:58 2007] : (5) Lia: "in summer they seek the light, the sun"

[Tue Jan 23 22:24:12 2007] : (5) Lia: "Yes, it could be"
[Tue Jan 23 22:24:23 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: "Is that your final answer? Only one chance you'll have."
[Tue Jan 23 22:24:33 2007] : (5) Lia: ooc Yoda talk!
[Tue Jan 23 22:24:42 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "Let's just try it, nothing ventured, nothing gained"

[Tue Jan 23 22:27:05 2007] : (5) Lia: "shadows do rise, and fall and turn. Do they actually hide?"
[Tue Jan 23 22:27:42 2007] : (5) Lia: "well, they hide people"

[Tue Jan 23 22:28:13 2007] : (2) Dan: "Do shadows turn?"
[Tue Jan 23 22:28:26 2007] : (5) Lia: "Yes, with the sun moving, they turn"
[Tue Jan 23 22:28:35 2007] : (2) Dan: "I'm sorry Adrin. This is most vexatious!"
[Tue Jan 23 22:28:51 2007] : (2) Dan: "They move certainly, is that turning?"
[Tue Jan 23 22:29:11 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "And how do they fall, exactly?"
[Tue Jan 23 22:29:14 2007] : (5) Lia: "Some people use them to tell the time"
[Tue Jan 23 22:29:32 2007] : (5) Lia: "I'm not sure Ali"
[Tue Jan 23 22:29:35 2007] : (2) Dan: "They lengthen as the sun gets lower in the sky, is that falling?"
[Tue Jan 23 22:30:09 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "More like growing, they start on the ground and they remain there"
[Tue Jan 23 22:30:29 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: The water sprite starts singing a cheerful song (in Aquan).

[Tue Jan 23 22:33:05 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: "A clue? But you have the answer, just choose the right one."

[Tue Jan 23 22:33:50 2007] : (2) Dan: "Hmm, our answers so far - Sun and moon, leaves, the seasons, perennials, shadows"
[Tue Jan 23 22:34:04 2007] : (5) Lia: "Forget about perennials"

[Tue Jan 23 22:35:41 2007] : (2) Dan: ooc hide
[Tue Jan 23 22:35:56 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "Leaves turn their colour, in automn they fall and after falling the disappear into the ground"
[Tue Jan 23 22:36:04 2007] : (2) Dan: "But I guess that they don't rise"
[Tue Jan 23 22:36:17 2007] : (3) Adrin: Adrin swims back to the rock for a rest
[Tue Jan 23 22:36:20 2007] : (2) Dan: "So not leaves, it's a push on two counts"

[Tue Jan 23 22:37:25 2007] : (5) Lia: "It is but a little gold"

[Tue Jan 23 22:40:58 2007] : (5) Lia: "Ah, it seems we chose wrongly"
[Tue Jan 23 22:41:01 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: "The sun is but one and the moon is one. We, the stars, are many as we rise with the dusk, turn as the sky sphere turns above the land, fall before dawn to hide from the sun."
[Tue Jan 23 22:41:19 2007] : (5) Lia: ooc DAMNED
[Tue Jan 23 22:41:25 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: "But it was a fair answer, you may have half the gold as your prize."

[Tue Jan 23 22:42:10 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "You are most kind"
[Tue Jan 23 22:42:17 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: The sprite causes a surge of water to scoop some of the coins from the lake bed and sends them showering down over the rocks on the lake shore.
[Tue Jan 23 22:42:48 2007] : (5) Lia: Lia catches one in flight
[Tue Jan 23 22:42:54 2007] : (3) Adrin: "Well that saves me swimming down to get them"
[Tue Jan 23 22:42:54 2007] : (1) Water Sprite: And with that she turns and dives into the water.
[Tue Jan 23 22:43:00 2007] : (2) Dan: "Bye"

[Tue Jan 23 22:44:55 2007] : (5) Lia: -1 I caught in flight and am keeping as souvenir :P
[Tue Jan 23 22:44:56 2007] : (2) Dan: "That will at least help pay for our horses"

[Tue Jan 23 22:47:58 2007] : (2) Dan: "You'd need to strip all your armour off first Ali, or you'd do a great impression of sinking"
[Tue Jan 23 22:48:37 2007] : (4) Aliatra: "And even then I wouldn't be good at it, not many chances to swim in towns"
[Tue Jan 23 22:48:37 2007] : (5) Lia: Lia laughs
[Tue Jan 23 22:49:38 2007] : (2) Dan: "we had crystal clear lakes to swim in in the mountains, but they were only warm enough in high summer"
[Tue Jan 23 22:49:58 2007] : (2) Dan: "So, shall we get on with our mission?"
