The Nexus

[Loran Jewelers] "You can take them back, if you think it's for the best. But they're supposed to be payment." That was a bit of a sticking point, Renault realizes. [Titania Park] "You'll return us to the Nexus once the play ends?" Raril asks next. Tori tries pinching herself, i...

"I'm not so sure." Landon says to Agate. "There was this bright light. I think it's a person. I dropped a globe of darkness on it. My schedule's scorched too." He says with a sigh, holding up the half-burnt piece of paper.

[Loran Jewelers]

Renault peers at Rowan. "You don't like the idea?" He asks.

"What do you suggest I do with them then?"

[Loran Jewelers] Renault looks forlornly over his shoulder, back at his abode, where the rest of the pies were. "I'd hate to waste them. It's no good wasting food. Perhaps we could... donate them?" it took 30 pies to get to this point, a few pies spread over a lot of people shouldn't caus...

[Administration Building] "Landon." The half-drow daywalker replies. "Man I didn't think that was going to work..." He steps closer, looking for a way to help out. He gives Agate an amazed look. She just had a magical girl transformation, like on TV! "Err that spell won't l...

Loran Jewelers "Well, I mean they're full of butter. That usually has a cumulative effect on people. But the normal kind." Rowan still seems unconvinced. "Aren't you a full sized dragon? That eats whole sheep in one go? Two pies isn't even a quarter of a sheep." [Loran Jewelers]...

[Titania Park]

Raril frowns at the pixie. "We do not wish to wander. We wish to be returned to the Nexus, whole, unharmed, and unchanged." He declares.

Tori looks at the pixie and then back at the stage. "This is definitely not part of the play."

[Loran Jewelers] Renault runs a hand through his hair, not noticing the crumbs getting stuck in it. "Oh dear. Dragon or not, I should not be wanting to eat two whole pies in one sitting, and still want more. I've eaten..." He counts off on his sticky fingers. "32 of your pies? Could ...

[Loran Jewelers]

Renault returns the bow and then straightens, realizing. "I've had two of those pies in short order...I wouldn't normally. They're... strangely addicting. Did... did you do something to them?"

[Loran Jewelers] Renault does note the use of Rowan's name and says "I think he likes it." Then he looks back at the pies. "I should get these upstairs." He says the words to another spell and the pies float off the cart on wafts of golden energy. He heads towards his workshop, ...

[Loran Jewelers] "Oh!" Renault looks a little surprised to be receiving the check, as he was staring at the pies again. Realizing his fingers are all sticky, he mutters a word of power and there's a shimmer of golden energy around his fingertips, and in a flash they're clean. "Very g...

[Loran Jewelers] "Probably not, but the reinforcement charm is there in case you do." Renault says, dusting crumbs from his fingers. He's had one pie, but... should he have another? They did fill him up. Or at least, make him feel less like eating a roast cow. "I've designed the char...

[Loran Jewelers] "No, no lair." Renault admits with a chuckle. He will help himself to a pie, or two, depending on how big they are and how quickly he can eat them. "These are really delicious, by the way." He comments between bites while watching Rowan. He winces a few times wh...

[Loran Jewelers] "Oh here, come into the courtyard and give it a few test swings. I want to make sure your satisfied before giving me that final payment." Renault leads Rowan to a door in the back of the shop, which opens onto a tiled courtyard. In the North East corner was a large twiste...

[Administrative Building] Enrolling as a Freshman is Landon Xar'Cha, looking quite good in his new school uniform. His white hair has been freshly cut around his pointed ears and his amber eyes look around eagerly. Except there's something, someone? really bright over there. He backs off holding up...

[Summer Water Balloon Party]

Landon picks himself up off the ground and kicks the dirt dejectedly. "We could've won if I hadn't fallen. I thought we had this one in the bag. Man!" The half-drow exclaims.

Loran Jewelers "Thanks. I'll just make sure you get your payments in the meantime." the dragon promises as he carefully exits. And Renault will get his payments. At least the easy ones at first. A tart, meat pie, or pastry on his doorstep at opening time each day for the rest of the month...

[Loran Jewelers] "Thank you." Renault says, grinning. "I'll be sure to drop by the bakery tomorrow to look at the peels and then I can get started. We know where to find each other." The elf adds. "So don't worry, I'll get it done as soon as I can." And the little secr...

[Loran Jewelers]

"A big strong guy like yourself?" Renault asks. "I'm sure they'd be lining up to get you to sign up. And helping? Do what you can when you can with what you've got. Don't worry if it's enough. A rock erodes one grain of sand at a time."

[Loran Jewelers]

"It was." Renault agrees. "A river spirit objected to me and a young man looking for gold in her river and decided to try and be funny."

[Loran Jewelers] "Cool looking?" Renault echoes. "Perhaps. I haven't exactly seen my draconic form in a mirror. Though there was that one time I switched bodies with someone." [Titania Park] For a moment, Raril's concerned that someone may actually die, as it was with some drow ...

[Loran Jewelers]

Renault holds up his hands. "No I understand entirely." He sighs, "It's not all bad, my power has increased immensely."

[Loran Jewelers]

The elf tilts his head, thinking. "Say two weeks on the outside? Believe it or not the wood working is what's going to take the longest."

[Loran Jewelers]

Renault smiles warmly. "Don't worry about that. I know what it is to have to make do with a little, or less. However I believe magic should be there for everyone if they have the talent."

Loran Jewelers ”I thought copper was kind of expensive?” That’s more of a modern thing. ”It looks good, but will the copper hold up to punishment? I am kinda strong.” There’s always bronze, which theoretically should also be expensive but according to RPGs is cheap because it’s worse than iron for ...

[Titania Park] Raril sits, entranced by the play, the actors, the shifting colors of their costumes and the set. He loves theater, something he only really got to indulge in after coming to the surface. Menzoberranzan would host ritual plays, displaying the glory of the Spider Queen, often includin...

[Titania Park] "I made them myself." Raril admits to his wife. "Picked up the ingredients in Delmah Phor, along with the sodas." Tori giggles at her cousin. "It means it's nerdy, or geeky. Something intelligent people do." She explains. Raril spots the Fae on the stage...

[Titania Park] Raril chuckles and grins at the girls. "Yes, let's settle down. Would you and Asami like a bite to eat?" The drow opens the picnic basket and begins distributing butcher paper wrapped sandwiches to the family, and Asami too if she likes one. They're hearty sandwiches of sli...

[Loran Jewelers]

"Then you were cursed as well." Renault realizes sadly. He flexes his hand, returning the gauntlet back into its bracelet. "Who is Granny? Why would she do this to you?" The elf holds up his hands. "Only if you are comfortable sharing, of course."

[Loran Jewelers] Renault toys with the iron band on his wrist. "Not originally, no. I picked up this gauntlet in a dungeon years ago." He flicks his wrist and the iron bracer expands to cover his hand and forearm. "I thought it was just some magical armor, something I needed. Turns o...
