[spoiler]So I take it everyone's resolved to leave, save for Sarai and Enna? If you have formal preparations to make, now would be a good time to mention them.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]As I mentioned, I want to pick up a crossbow and/or some javelins, and maybe a kama or two made of exotic materials (silver, adamatine, cold iron, etc). Otherwise, I think I'm ready to go. I guess we should pack some food, too. I can help carry stuff, if anyone is overburdened, by the way. :P [/spoiler]
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

"Everyone, start off without me. I simply must find Marie, and have the luvie help me pack."

Sarai pauses for a moment, before continuing,

"Do you think she would like to come?"
[spoiler]Fighter: "I can kill a guy in one turn."
Cleric: "I can kill a guy in half a turn."
Wizard: "I can kill a guy before my turn."
Bard: "I can get three idiots to kill guys for me."

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

My final project for my film independent study course. It could do with a watching and critiquing

Urglmek says "Woah, look at that! I'm going to sneak over and peek over the edge. I'll try to stay out of sight to avoid spooking those dwarves, if someone more... presentable... wants to talk to them."

Kyrish responds with, "I can talk to them.  I can talk to anyone after all."

Phaedrus:
[spoiler]Looking over the edge of the crater, you see that the bottom is far out of sight. The rough walls continue downward into the blackness and out of sight, with no signs of sloping inward to form a bowl.[/spoiler]

Curious, Urglmek tosses a largish rock over the side, and listens to see if he can hear it land.

Ah, Kyrish, Dearie, would you like my help with speaking with the dwarves?

Marie, this looks like a good place to put down our bags.


Sarai stands near the edge of the crater, holding a small parasol over her shoulder.

[spoiler]I'm assuming that having a parasol on hand is allowed, as merely a prop (I can't actually DO anything truly useful with it, after all.)

The problem is that I don't have it listed. Oh well.[/spoiler]

Kyrish nods to Sarai.  "Of course madam."  He follows her.

A few of the dwarves, upon spotting Sarai and Kyrish, hold a hasty whispered conversation before one of them walks over hesitantly.

"Er...'m sorry to bother you, m'lady, but this is a dangerous place," he mumbles, glancing back at his partner desperately.

"And we're rather dangerous people", Sarai says, with a pleasant smile (which, coincidently, she remembered to not show her teeth while performing. Razor teeth are so embarassing), "So it balances out.

So, what are you doing here? You must be terribly brave to work in such a dangerous place."

The dwarf relaxes slightly at the flattery, though he still appears rather nervous.

"Oh, 'm just a geologic surveyor," he says, flapping a hand at the giant crater. "I've been testing samples of the rock and examining the walls for stability. It's really unbelievable how the last fellow who came through here missed all of this." He shakes his head. "Well, not the hole. That opened up very recently, of course, but if the samples I've taken so far are any indication, this could be a very major discovery."

The large, red, scaled, insanely-muscled man, who had been perching inconspicuously on a rock at the edge of the crater, leaps over next to the dwarf and says "Do tell? Other than the fact than it seems bottomless, what is so interesting about this discovery?"

Sarai's new friend doesn't quite manage to jump a foot into the air, but it's a close thing. After he settles down a bit, he wheezes, "The...the deposits. Trace amounts of practically every metal I've ever heard of in a single square foot, and a few I had to look up." The thought seems to bolster him. "A goldmine? I'd never set foot in one again if you gave me a crew and a year working on this thing." He glares darkly off into the distance past Urglmek. "But of course the scum over there wouldn't hear of it."
