"Which, as you've said, might be a bad sign of things to come. However, it doesn't matter; I was a warrior retainer for a Lord before being shunted here. I'm a capable enough duelist and warrior, assuming I can get a sword. Otherwise, I'm just a decent duelist. I will gladly help out.

In the meantime, where could one go to get a fine sword? I would like a sword of master-make or better, if you know of any places the guard find is the best for war-tools, but I think with the amount of money he has granted us that it might taker some earning. I'd like to order anything that might take time to make as soon as possible."
He may not have clothes, but damned if he wasn't going to get a sword fast as humanly possible.
 

"The Merchant District has several swordsmiths, it would be best to ask among them for the sort of sword you are looking for.  If things go bad soon, you will all likely be issued a weapon of some sort."

"I can help out with defense if needed after I get some gear.  I'm not much of a fighter, but I do know a little about this and that."
"We'll need warriors, unless you have some skills I need to know about that would help in other ways."
"Well, I dabble in magic and am okay at shooting stuff and throwing stuff from a distance.  I wouldn't be a good solider on my own, but I'm sure I could provide valuable support.  Does the guard work pay anything, or are we just trying to keep our new home safe?

On a related note, when can I do some shopping?  I'll need some stuff before I can help you out... assuming you want me to help in the tunnels.  I can't throw or shoot much or cast many spells without the proper munitions and components."
;)

[spoiler]It looks like we're all supposed to be making Spot checks, so here's mine in case it matters:
Spot check. (1d20+4=22)
[/spoiler]

Magic use is somewhat restricted here, and I wouldn't advise casting certain spells openly such as destructive effects or mind control.  A great many fellow citizens dabble in magic, and I don't want an alley filled with Fireballs because someone was quick on the casting.  As mentioned before, we will be taking you to see the Merchants district."

[spoiler]Lots of cats here.  Lots of cats and elven transvestites.  Kinda spooky in it's own way.[/spoiler]

A horrible realisation strikes me and I admitI am not that fond of fighting but I can prove quite useful if I have to. And from what you have told me it seems I won't get home unless I give you a helping hand. I would like to stay out of the large battles but since I have what you might call a natural talent for tunnels I could give you a hand there since I take it you lack aquatic troops I then give of deep sigh, put my hand on my head, making my inner struggle more obvious and say to myself

"This is all certainly a lot to take in... It's been quite a busy day, and we've only just eaten breakfast. Still, I hope that I may be of assistance, even if my normal abilities seem to be reduced at the moment."

Alcy closes her eyes briefly and mutters, "And I doubt I'll ever find a sword like the one I've been stripped of by coming here..." She sighs.

"As for spells, Sheriff, mine are of divine origin, and thus are mainly defensive or augmentative in nature. You'll have no trouble from me in that respect."

"Oh, don't worry about that!  I don't know anything like Fireball.  It's mostly fancy stuff to help with entertaining, as well as some handy, practical stuff.  That's why I'd provide a support role: to help confound enemies; not blow up apartments."

Bartholomeow looks askance when the conversation turns to destructive magics. Perhaps he'll just keep his mouth shut for a little while...

In an instant, Alcy is over by Kintal, petting him and rubbing his "widdle kitty face."

"I know some magic but nothing that blows up, I don't like fire... closest I have to mind control is putting people to sleep..."


Cusic sees the two cats meowing, and gets on her knees between them and meows at them... she doesn't know they are talking to each other nor does she know the language but it seems like a fun thing to do.

@ Kintal: "A flying cat?  That's pretty awesome.  What else constitutes 'stuff'?"

I am a proud practitioner of the druidic art, yes.

[spoiler]The realisation that so many here are actually cross-dressers does not disturb me as much as confuse me, since I still have a hard time grasping the concept of clothing other than to preserve heat in colder climates. Why anyone would dress, so much just to stay dressed made no sense and to feel the need to identify certain clothing with certain genders made even less sense, especially if you were going to use the other ones clothing anyway.

This world confuses me...

But it's not the tool's fault if you use it for something else and you fail utterly, such as trying to eat cereal with a butterknife, pounding nails with a screwdriver, blogging to voice your political opinions, and brushing your teeth with a hammer.

"You don't need to fight necessarily sir.  People in your...profession for lack of a better world are well respected in many places here.  Your presence would be a possible diplomatic bonus in some areas.  Plus in my personal opinion we can always use more Druids.  You might be interested in the artificial lake we have.  It won't be like home, but it will let you swim and meet other folk."

[spoiler]in their case it's more than just clothing.  They have makeup and  the whole nine yards.  Most of them are pretty adequate traps.  Most...[/spoiler]
