[Summer Water Balloon Party]

"Absolutely!" Landon says, turning to run over to the playing field. He was really fast, and Gabe was sure to be great at sitting on the balloon! They couldn't lose! "Let's go!" He'll go stand near one of the blue hoops.

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Landon and Gabe "It's their culture." Landon replies. "And the Spider Queen's will. She wants them all fighting and backstabbing. She thinks it makes her people stronger." The half-drow frowns. "They are strong. But I don't think they're very ha...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Landon and Gabe Landon grins, watching Gabriel scoot around on the cloud. "Hah! Yeah Drow are mean. And tough and sneaky and smart." The half-drow explains. "My father's one. One of the nobility, too. House Xar'Cha. They hold a lot of power, especially in...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Landon and Gabe "Not really?" Landon says. "He can levitate himself. It's a drow nobility thing. I don't know if I'll be able to do it, because I'm half-drow." He frowns. "I have to be careful around other drow, my family's name won't go far to ...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Landon and Gabe Oh that was not what he intended! Landon panics a bit, waving his arm about to dislodge the magic cloud stuff. He rubs his hand on his shirt, to wipe away the water and tries to look calmer. "He can levitate, or walks up a wall." Landon explain...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Landon and Gabe Woah is right. Amazing! Or pretty normal if this is a regular thing any regular person can do. And regular persons in Gabriel's context is griffs. Touching the could is definitely... interesting. There's some resistance, but only some. Like touching a bi...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Landon throws up his arms to block the errant splashes and laughs, but as he opens his eyes to look he starts to see the drops are just hanging there in the air. "Whoah!" and then Gabe climbs up onto the cloud. "How is it supporting your weight? Could I g...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Landon and Gabe "I guess it's like unicorn magic? but yeah use my fingers, or a word. You could probably learn too. My fathers aren't wizards or anything, and even wizards just learn by studying." "Yeah I'd love to see a magic cloud!" Landon will fol...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] "You can make clouds? That's neat!" Landon decides. "I bet they're good for hiding in, or keeping cool on a hot day like today. Father and Papa have taught me some minor healing spells and stuff light Light. Still haven't figured out how to summon Darknes...

Gabe and Landon

"We've done water balloon fights back at the village once or twice, but I don't know any games with them." Landon admits. "Griffins have magic? Can you show me some?" The boy asks, excited.

[Summer Water Balloon Party]

Gabe and Landon

"A little." Landon admits. "But if you've played with a regular balloon it shouldn't be that different, but if you do pop them, you'll just get really wet!" the half-drow warns.

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Gabe and Landon "I want to play!" Landon agrees, but frowns a little. "I don't exactly have a partner though." He looks the hippogriff over, wondering if those claws could be a liability. "How are you with water balloons?" Landon had been r...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Gabriel, the hippogriff who shares the dark coloration of his dad, goes trotting over toward Landon. All the wolves are new, and he's definitely considering whether or not it would be a good idea to go dashing around with them. He's a bit bigger than a wolf-pup, dependi...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Landon Alakdorl Endrikson Xar'Cha approached GLoG with his minder, Eira Baker. The boy was a thin 13 year old with pale brown hair and even paler skin, bordering on blue. His eyes were a deep amber, almost orange, and when he smiled enlarged canines could be seen. He wa...

[Weapons Stall] The smith looks Fade up and down. He wants armor too? Well alright, she thinks to herself. "I can do anything from simple bracers to a full suit of plate. The more elaborate, the more time it will take. Especially if you want chain or scale mail." She explains. Over with T...

Weird William's Vastr gives the mermaid a thumb's up and goes back to his rum. The cheese-eaters turn to look at Sanaa as she approaches, the gambling stopping dead. "Yes, yes I would. May I see them?" He pulls a jewellers loupe out and a set of scales, though Sanaa might note that the we...

Weird William's The meat is pretty fresh. It's also raw, and quite cold; it's been kept in a fridge, though a seperate one to the cooked meat at least. Should probably have been on a seperate plate, too. It's a bone for a dog, wolf, or werewolf; not really a human. "Uhh... yeah. Try not to loo...

[Weird William's] "Ah, I'm sure I'll find something. It's just a tub of sea water, basically. I can't stay dry for too long or I start getting weak." Sanaa explains. She starts to gnaw at the meat on her bone, as it was pretty fresh, but pauses mid-chew when she spots the roaches. She put...

[Weird William's] Sanaa takes a bite out of the pork pie and chews thoughtfully. Walrus shifter, explains the long dives, but no hands to get things from down below. As for the job, a one time deal, unless poor Vastr had a real string of bad luck. Still, it would get her established here, and pay f...

Weird William's "Yep, I'm Vastr. And I do. My boat sank about three miles downstream from the city. I had to swim all the way here. Not much of a boat, really; it were a trading barge. It's down quite deep; you breathe underwater? I can't, so I'm limited to ten minutes at a time." That's ...

[Weapons Stall]

"No, just weapons and armor. I'm a blacksmith, not a wizard." The smith replies.

[Market Street] Aly'ithra giggles. "Just be careful whose roof you sit on. They're a bit paranoid when it comes to security around her." She jerks her chin towards the guard that was escorting her. He narrows his eyes and frowns. [Weapons Stall] "Mithril is silvery, almost white. Lik...

[Weird William's] While her order's being prepared, the mermaid will approach the sailor. "Hello, ah, Vastr, is it? The waitress said you might have some work for someone like me. Underwater salvaging, specifically." The waitress gets an odd look. Something wasn't right there. Did they no...

[Weird William's] "I'll try the sunset sasp..sassa... Well I don't know what it is, but if you recommended it, it's got to be worth trying." The mermaid decides. "And a pork pie. Don't often get pork." She wasn't sure how one was supposed to eat a bone, however. "And I'll t...

Weird William's There's plenty of tables, though all of them are grimy with peeling varnish and sticky beer stains. There's also other people in the bar; a group of suspicious-looking men and women wearing pinstriped suits and fedoras are gambling in the corner, some rather large amounts of cash cr...

[Weird William's] A woman walks into the bar and takes a look around. She's not the usual terrestrial sort of woman. While her skin is coppery, her hair is a deep blue almost black, and two curving, iridescent horns grow from her forehead. She wears leather armor, seemingly made from a thick scaley...

[Temple of Lolth] "Our networks are larger, and we have expanded to fill the space we were allotted. We need more room, basically." The priestess says. At the next question, she gives the drider an odd look. "Why would the Spider Queen want to worshipped by anyone but Drow?" [Pa...

[Market Street]

"Yeah... it's a bit unsettling there." Aly'ithra agrees.

[Panic! at the Enclave]

One of the guards turns to face Eun a scowl on her face. The noblewoman glances her way, looking down her nose at the human.

"What do you want?" Asks the guard woman roughly.

[Market Street] Perhaps surprisingly, Jack might've gotten really close to the palace from the sky. Trying to keep every bird or beast out is impossible. There's wards, but due to her nature as a bird, she would've slipped right past them. "Oh I've seen it from the sky too! Not as impressive, ...

At a juncture of the Slums and the Docks is a large converted warehouse space known as the Black Dragon's Den. It's been rebuilt a few times, the most recent construction making the exterior out of solid brick. Inside is a welcoming atmosphere, heavy with the scent of alcohol, pipe smoke, and a hint...
