"Hmm," mumbled Harly as he checked the string, the reciever, and the trigger mechanism, "I don't suppose you have this in repeater variety? You know the one that automatically loads bolts via a spring,"

"I've got that too" the shopkeeper said, pulling out another crossbow. "Do you need ammunition for it?"

Caustizer · **Reply #122 on:** September 03, 2009, 05:28:19 PM

"No I'm going to fire rocks out of it," Harly said sarcastically, "Yes I am going to need some bolts. Can you give me 40?"

Noname · **Reply #123 on:** September 03, 2009, 05:43:46 PM

"Here are 40 bolts" that will be 5 copper per bolt. He responded.

Caustizer · **Reply #124 on:** September 03, 2009, 07:48:52 PM

"As you say," put out Harly as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the necessary change.

Noname · **Reply #125 on:** September 03, 2009, 08:09:50 PM

"Thank you" said the storekeeper, "Don't forget to pay for the crossbow, too. You've only paid for the bolts!"

Canas came bounding back to the group, a small bundle of scrolls under his arm.
"So sorry about disappearing like that! I had to go check some things at my house, and sure enough, I found a registry that has some of the strongest mages, as well as their elemental preference!"
He said enthusiastically, almost tripping over his own feet in excitement...

Meanwhile, another ship has just docked at the pier, and passengers began disembarking. Two of these passengers, one half-elf female in a dark green cape and one male cloaked under a brown hood where only his glowing green eyes are visible, paused to look around at the city.

"Like a pearl in a mountain of marbles," the male muttered.

"It's good, but not like 'needle in a haystack,'" the half-elf chuckled. "But he said he should be in the city when we arrive. We'll probably just have to go exploring."

The two wandered off the pier and into the city metropolis...

"Thanks for the help, Canas!" Ophion replied. "Let's take a look and see what we have..." the scrolls were taken to a table in a nearby garden of the city, which was set up for public use. There, the Dracons were able to read through what the text said... Except for Shal'thzar, who was blind. She could still listen to what Ophion could read out to her...

OOC: Except for Shal'thzar. She's blinded

Of course, if Ophion is reading it out then you can ignore this post ^_^

(OOC: Edited. And if you post something without any RP content, it should go in the discussion thread.)

Meanwhile...

Kria rested on her bed. It was getting darker out now, but in the summer, it still stayed light for a long time... In just a week, she would have all the magic she wanted... and so much more...

Jake continued walking down the hallway where he reached his room. He unlocked the door and opened it, he then went inside and closed the door behind him. Jake strolled over to his bed, as he did so he removed his shirt and he threw it onto the floor. Jake climbed onto his bed and he lay on it.

"heh, these lizard things have a very strange way of talking" chuckled Jake

At the inn, several other maids had heard of what Jake had done to poor Chariana. Rumors spread quickly. The females did not like to see someone abuse them, especially not a foreigner, and even less, a foreigner who was of another species.

Jake lay there on his bed wondering what he should do for tomorrow. First thing he wanted to do was get a good meal. During the day he needed to get a new longsword.....his old one was rusted and looked like it would turn to dust.

Noname · **Reply #134 on:** September 04, 2009, 01:59:04 AM

One of the other maids knocked on Jake's door. "Cleaning time" she said. "Can I come in?"

metadude1234 · **Reply #135 on:** September 04, 2009, 02:00:43 AM

"huh what" said Jake as he sat upstraight "someones at the door". Jake got up off of his bed and he walked over to the door and opened it.

Noname · **Reply #136 on:** September 04, 2009, 02:03:55 AM

The maid entered the room "I'm here to clean the room, sir. Do you mind if I start now, or do you want me to wait until later?"

metadude1234 · **Reply #137 on:** September 04, 2009, 02:05:40 AM

"I cannot understand you but...sure do what ever you need to do in here" said Jake "do i have to leave? just nod if it's yes and shake if it's no"

Noname · **Reply #138 on:** September 04, 2009, 02:34:59 AM

"Let me deal with him" another female said, entering Jake's room. This female was unusually attractive for her species, and spoke in a soothing voice... she wasn't a maid...

"You don't have to leave, Jake" the maid said, acknowledging the presence of the other female.

"In fact, you should stay here and relax..." the new female said to Jake, stretching out. "I'm the masseuse assigned to the rooms in this wing of the inn..."

This could be a very interesting day...

The duo came to an inn, unaware that this was the very inn ravaged by a fight just earlier today, and entered. It was then they noticed the damage in scorch and burn marks, and they looked at each other momentarily.

"I guess it's the same sort of thing here," the construct inquired.

"Booze has the same effect on every species," the half-elf replied. She turned to what looked like a maid and stopped her. "Do you know where we can rent a room for a few nights?" she asked in slightly broken Dracon. Only the friend the two are looking for is the quickest to learn the languages of other species.

----------

The blue-skinned traveler made it to the top of the temple spire and stepped out onto the balcony. The view of this city as grand, and the wind blowing about him was perfect for his prayers. He knelt to his knees, took off his hood, and closed his eyes, only his white hair and coat moved to the wind.

A few minutes later, the wind changes, blowing from the sea, and the traveler realizes its message. His friends have arrived at last. He finished his prayers and stepped back down the tower into the temple. Until he exited the main doors, he had forgotten to put his hood back on, and the Dracon priests noticed as he walked away.

"Was that a gensai?" asked one priest.

"It must be," answered another. "In this city, you're bound to see something new."

The priests returned inside the temple...
