Summary

Larsya meets everyone at the Hendoran outpost war room with a feast, but says her brother Breshon won't be joining them. He came to take her home, saying that they're Born of Bourth and their father Spensor Caulfield is ill without much time, so she must come home, but she refused and sent him away. Breshon will be sending an advisor--a Regent--soon to help her, however. Sir Cryheart asks when she last saw Spensor and she says not since he left her in a glass coffin--and she supposes she'll see him next in a wooden one.

Meanwhile, she wants everyone to compete in a game of throwing eggs at each other. She pairs everyone off to engage in the contest for a change of pace and the revelry commences, but late in the evening Larsya begins to chant a bird-like trill and her fingernails flash with green. She at first says "not this again," but then, when people ask, she says it hasn't happened before. Nonetheless, she ends the night victorious in her own tournament, then thanks everyone for helping her feel better and says to stay as long as they'd like before she leaves.


Log

No Breshon

[Frith's Inn, Main Saloon]

Drawn by the aroma of good food and strong drink, you enter the main saloon. The innkeeper presides merrily, ensuring everyone gets a share of attention from the pretty serving wenches and the handsome lad behind the bar. Long benches and rectangular tables seat high-spirited patrons. You also see the Whelk disk, a cozy booth and some swinging doors.

Also here: Town Councilor Leafiara, Whelk who is kneeling

Some townspeople walk by, gossiping, "...and we set up all of that food in the Outpost's War Room, and now it's probably going to go to waste because...." Their voices trail off as they wander out of sight.

[travel]

[Hendoran Outpost, War Room]

The room is bare but for a long conference table and a number of chairs pushed under it while not in use. Situated in the middle of the table is a map of Wehnimer's Landing and nearby environs. Neatly lined up on one side of the map are a set of miniatures depicting Hendoran troops and potential enemies. Near a small window rests an empty gilded birdcage. You also see a long oak counter with some stuff on it, a huge metal-framed slate hanging on a nearby wall and a set of large wooden doors.

Also here: Town Councilor Leafiara, Lady Larsya, Magister Raelee

Conquerer of Reim Kayse's group just arrived.

Larsya slowly empties her lungs.

Sir Cryheart's group just arrived.

Speaking warmly to Larsya, Stormyrain greets, "Merry eve M'lady."

Pukk exclaims, "Food!"

Speaking amiably to Larsya, Leafiara says, "Good evening there."

Cryheart says, "Hello Lady Larsya."

Bernadette softly says, "Good eve Lady Larsya."

Chandrellia says, "Ma'am."

Cryheart says, "Seems she is napping."

Larsya says, "No..."

Larsya clears her throat.

Cryheart grins at Larsya.

Missoni cheerfully says, "Fair eve, Lady Larsya."

Larsya continues to watch out a window, her face to the horizon.

Larsya says, "Have a seat. Enjoy the food and drink."

Chandrellia asks, "Is his boat late getting to dock ma'am?"

Larsya says, "My brother will not be joining us."

Stormyrain asks, "Has something happened?"

Kayse asks, "Why not?"

Leafiara curiously says, "Okay..."

Cryheart asks, "What ye looking for, Lady Larsya?"

Speaking to Cryheart, Pukk says, "Her brother I would think. She misses her brother."

Larsya turns back around, facing the room. For a brief moment, the youthful features of her child-like face seem to have melted away, replaced by a measure of maturity, of growth, or burden. She smiles wide, and it disappears.

Larsya says, "He came. I sent him back."

Cryheart says, "Interesting."

Chandrellia asks, "Is he in danger or something?"

Larsya says, "He is likely already on the trail back home."

Goldstr asks, "Aye?"

Speaking to Larsya, Pukk asks, "You shot him with your bow, didn't you?"

Larsya says, "He is, if he bothers me again."

Larsya giggles.

Larsya says, "He came to take me home."

Leafiara says, "Quick return, I see..."

Speaking to Larsya, Chandrellia says, "Oh."

Leafiara surprisedly says, "Oh."

Speaking to Larsya, Perigourd asks, "And you do not wish to return?"

Larsya says, "He went on and on, how we're Born of Bourth, father is ill, he hasn't much time, and must come home."

Larsya says, "But I refused."

Cryheart asks, "When was the last time ye hae seen your father, Lady Larsya?"

Larsya says, "He claims to be sending an advisor soon. Re...Reg...."

Larsya shrugs.

Larsya says, "Someone to help me."

Larsya shrugs.

Raelee says, "Regent."

Chandrellia says, "Interesting."

Raelee nods at Larsya.

Larsya says, "He says it's too dangerous out here by myself."

Larsya points at Raelee.

Larsya says, "Yes! That word."

Larsya nods at Raelee.

Larsya says, "You're so good with words. And vials."

Larsya nods at Raelee.

Larsya giggles.

Speaking to Larsya, Raelee says, "That is an aspect of my job, yes."

Adelynn amusedly remarks, "It is rather dangerous out here."

Geijon says, "War Room doesn't scream food interestingly."

Larsya says, "I haven't seen my father since he left me in a glass coffin."

Larsya nods at Cryheart.

Cryheart nods at Larsya.

Speaking to Geijon, Perigourd says, "An army fights on its stomach."

Cryheart says, "And that is a long time ago." [was in 5116]

Larsya says, "I suppose I'll see him again, when he's in a wooden one."

Cryheart asks, "So ye are nae going back to visit then?"

Speaking to Perigourd, Geijon says, "I appreciate that now more than then. No argument from me."

Geijon says, "Fine food, makes you fond of food."

Missoni asks, "You do not wish to see him before that?"

Pukk says, "She is probably having more fun here."

Larsya says, "It is complicated."

Cryheart nods at Larsya.

Larsya says, "I was once his little elf."

Larsya says, "He would declare it to the world."

Cryheart asks, "Ye blame him for putting ye in the coffin?"

Larsya says, "I fear that is no longer the truth."

Larsya frowns.

Kisun asks, "Elf?"

Lylia quietly says, "Little Elves grow up."

Lylia nods sympathetically at Larsya.

Cryheart says, "That is what the Baron used to call her."

Larsya grins at Lylia.

Larsya says, "They do they do."

Goldstr says, "He do be ill an be yer father. A quick visit should be fine."

Cryheart says, "It was just an expression of endearment."

Larsya says, "We'll see."

Larsya shrugs at Goldstr.

Cryheart says, "As I recall."

Larsya slowly empties her lungs.

Cryheart says, "If ye need help, some of us would be willing as well, Lady Larsya."

Larsya exclaims, "Please, enjoy the food and drink!"

Cryheart says, "After ye."

Speaking wryly to Cryheart, Adelynn emphasizes, "*some* of us."

Blades asks, "Wha?"

Speaking to Larsya, Missoni says, "If you wish to speak of it, I am sure many here would listen, while we enjoy this lovely spread."

Larsya looks over at Missoni and shakes her head.

Speaking to Larsya, Lylia says, "Thank you for the invitation to dine with you. I hope you enjoy the delights of your kitchens as well."

Larsya says, "Thank you miss, but no."

Larsya nods at Missoni.

Missoni nods understandingly at Larsya.


Egg Games: False Start

Larsya says, "There is something I wish to do though..."

Larsya removes a tarnished silver wire basket from in her white leather cloak.

Larsya exclaims, "I want to play a game!"

Kisun says, "Games can be fun.."

Perigourd asks, "What type of game?"

Larsya says, "A great conquest! A battle of balance...of skill...of speed...of strength..."

Cryheart whispers something to Adelynn.

Speaking to Larsya, Lylia says, "Ah. Politics."

Pukk asks, "Pin the tail on the Raelee?"

Speaking to himself, Kisun says, "Unless it's dodge the meteor."

Kayse wryly asks, "Do we get to bet?"

Kayse lightly says, "I think it's a valid question."

Speaking to Kayse, Kisun says, "I have 70 silvers."

Geijon says, "I was going to go against th' grain and play til you teased us with something I could do."

Cryheart says, "What kind of game, Lady Larsya."

Adelynn whispers something to Cryheart.

Aeith says, "This isn't like those Rivers Rest games is it...."

Speaking to Aeith, Kisun says, "Still have nightmares."

Larsya says, "Now then...."

Larsya rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Larsya climbs up on the table, taking to the center of the room.

Larsya exclaims, "You will each take turns battling each other! I will pick the combatants!"

Pukk says, "Oh dear gods."

Larsya plucks an egg from her basket.

Larsya raises her snowy white egg skyward!

Larsya exclaims, "Behold!"

Missoni hesitantly asks, "And what are the rules?"

Cryheart says, "M'lady Larsya, that would not be in favor of your father or brother."

Speaking to Missoni, Dergoatean says, "First rule is we don't talk about it."

Lylia says, "We should hear more about the nature of the combat before we decide."

Speaking to Missoni, Dergoatean says, "There was a second rule but I forgot."

Adelynn curiously asks, "What do we get if we win?"

Speaking to Larsya, Perigourd asks, "We are to throw eggs at each other?"

Larsya points at Perigourd.

Speaking to Cryheart, Chandrellia says, "Something tells me she doesnt care this night."

Larsya exclaims, "Yes!"

Cryheart says, "Ye gave her the idea."

Larsya scans over the crowd.

Adelynn dryly asks, "Throwing eggs?"

Larsya climbs off the table and walks the room.

Larsya reaches out and takes Bernadette's hand, shaking it vigorously. Suddenly a loud *bzzzzzzzzzt* emanates from their clasped hands! Bernadette's arm vibrates wildly, causing her to jump and her eyes to grow wide!

Larsya giggles.

Bernadette grins.

Missoni mouths, "Why?"

Bernadette bows to Larsya.

Speaking to Leafiara, Adelynn whispers aloud, "Is she drunk?"

(Dergoatean casually looks away from Larsya.)

Larsya recites:

"Dergoatean, step forward!"

Bernadette softly says, "Very good shot milady."

Cryheart says, "She is young."

Speaking amusedly to Adelynn, Leafiara says, "No, just young."

Dergoatean hangs his head.

Dergoatean turns to face Larsya.

Dergoatean walks toward Larsya.

Dergoatean turns toward Larsya and renders a sharp hand salute.

Larsya recites:

"Dergoatean...versus....Blades!"

Larsya giggles.

Larsya offers Dergoatean a wax-patched snowy white egg.

Dergoatean turns to face Blades.

Dergoatean accepts Larsya's snowy white egg.

Blades glances at Dergoatean.

Larsya points at Blades.

Larsya exclaims, "Don't drop it!"

Speaking flatly to Leafiara, Adelynn whispers aloud, "... oh."

Dergoatean gazes with interest at the snowy white egg in his hand.

Blades says, "Wha the..."

Dergoatean carefully inspects his snowy white egg.

Larsya exclaims, "Don't get eliminated!"

Cryheart says, "An egg duel off."

Adelynn asks, "Or what?"

Dergoatean asks, "Will you say... go? Or... are we fighting now? Or...?"

Pukk says, "This is so egg-citing."

Larsya exclaims, "GO!"

Blades asks, "Am i to go unarmed?"

Dergoatean throws his egg at Blades's feet. It cracks apart and the magic contained within is unleashed.

Speaking to Adelynn, Chandrellia says, "Lrasya will shoot you in the head with her bow."

Blades stares off into space.

Speaking to Pukk, Kisun says, "Har-har."

Cryheart says, "Egg-actly."

Dergoatean ponders.

Blades asks, "Good throw?"

Kayse dryly says, "Well, that was... uneventful."

Larsya says, "Well...that was..."

Dergoatean shrugs at Blades.

Larsya says, "Disappointing."

Dergoatean asks, "Magic egg?"

Pukk says, "They were dud eggs."

Larsya exclaims, "Give me one moment!"

Blades asks, "Can i throw a halfling or somethin?"

Larsya runs off.

Chandrellia says, "That wasnt very eggs-emplory."

Kisun says, "She gone."

Srigos asks, "Unless the magic just isn't visible?"

Leafiara perplexedly says, "Well, alright then."

Dergoatean says, "I'm just eggstatic that I don't have egg on my face."

Dergoatean says, "And that I didn't chicken out."

Kisun says, "Your bad egg throwing scared her off."

Blades says, "Least you got an egg."

Pukk says, "She must have gotten those eggs from Kilron."

Cryheart says, "At least ye dinnae hae to sit on the egg."

Aeith says, "Perhaps she was only yolking."

Perigourd says, "One ought to simply hide in their shell."

Speaking quietly to herself, Raelee mutters, "... should have maintained the regent."

Lylia says, "Well, this is not the way I expected to see the evening unfold, but I shall keep a sunny side up and hope that the rest of the dinner is equally exciting."

Dergoatean says, "Still, it was a poulty amount of combat."

Blades exclaims, "Tada!"

Blades says, "I win."

Kisun says, "Quick, get all the rum you can carry."

Cryheart says, "I would call "fowl", but alas."

Speaking dryly to Lylia, Adelynn asks, "Speaking of which, where is the rest of the dinner?"

Dergoatean asks, "Who wants drinks? Whiskey? Rum? Wine? Ale?"

Dergoatean says, "I have mead in here too."

Kisun asks, "Drinks? Like soup?"

Speaking to Adelynn, Lylia says, "The turkey leg looks tasty."

Kisun says, "You can drink soup.."

Speaking to Kisun, Dergoatean exclaims, "No soup for you!"

Pukk says, "Okay everybody, we have to EGG-nore the first battle and start all over."

Dergoatean exclaims, "Next!"

Speaking to Dergoatean, Kisun says, "You can keep it, it has Kale in it."

Xorus helps himself to a skewer of grilled manticore.

Xorus says, "I remember this was served when the Lord was here."

Tayler says, "Kale is delicious... when fried into something no longer resembling kale."

Cryheart says, "Kale chips."

Speaking to Leafiara, Dergoatean says, "Mayor."

Kisun raises his whalebone cup in a toast and proclaims:

"Here's to barrels of beer, and flasks full of liquor! May we drink all the night, and be none the sicker!"

Dergoatean offers Leafiara a glass of aged whiskey.

Leafiara accepts Dergoatean's aged whiskey.

Geijon asks, "Who's got a bandana for them?"

Speaking to Lylia, Dergoatean says, "Mayor."

Tayler lifts his haon stein in a toast and proclaims:

"Some ships are wooden ships, but those ships may sink. The best ships are friendships, and to those ships, we drink."

Dergoatean offers Lylia a chalice of red wine.

Lylia accepts Dergoatean's red wine.

Leafiara lifts her imflass goblet in a toast and proclaims:

"When the bottle is full, drink up, drink up. This may be the last time we see this cup. If Cholen wanted us sober, he'd knock our glass over, so while it is full, we drink up!"

Lylia says, "Thank you."

Kisun exclaims, "Drink up, drink up!"

Kiyna says, "No one makes songs for drinking water."

Dergoatean says, "Speak up if you're lacking a beverage and would like to correct that."

Larsya says, "Not those magic eggs Octaven lays."

Larsya giggles.

Larsya giggles.

Bernadette softly asks, "Aer dey cooked?"

Lylia says, "I think it is because fewer things rhyme with 'water' than with 'wine.'."

Speaking to Larsya, Pukk asks, "Are these egg's egg-stra special?"

Larsya put a tarnished silver wire basket in her white leather cloak.

Speaking to Lylia, Dergoatean says, "If they don't, they... otter."

Vaemyr says, "They too good at tossing you obviously need even bigger eggs."

Kisun asks, "Is it mean to root for the egg to win?"

(Dergoatean spins around twice before...)

Larsya grabs another egg.

Speaking to Stormyrain, Kayse urges, "Push him or something..."

[OOC note: There are roughly 2500 lines in this log of people throwing eggs back and forth, to say nothing of the reactions to the throwing, so in the interest of time and sanity I'm cutting it all here other than dialogue, story progression, and winning or losing throws.]

Xorus says, "The last time we had a tournament such as this, Roblar became heir to a desert wasteland outside of time."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "That must be why Stormy likes hunting with Blades. He is good at catching eggs."

Speaking to Geijon, Lylia says, "You are too tall to hide in the back."

Larsya recites:

"Perigourd versus Pukk!"

Geijon says, "Cryheart won though."

Blades says, "You can catch in a tin can, impressive."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Kiyna asks, "Ready for rapid-fire?"

Speaking to Missoni, Perigourd says, "This time."

Speaking to Dergoatean, Kisun says, "I blame the rums."

Cryheart says, "Cause of my good aim."

Speaking to Larsya, Raelee mouths, "No."

Pukk asks, "Did Bernadette win or did Srigos?"

Speaking to Cryheart, Lylia says, "The true mark of an honorable man: asking his opponent if she is ready when catching her unawares is the easiest way to win."

Larsya says, "There's no one left for round one.."

Speaking to Dergoatean, Kiyna says, "'Ppreciate the offer, but I don't drink."

Larsya exclaims, "Eliminated!"

Srigos asks, "So maybe Bernadette won?"

Speaking to Dergoatean, Vaemyr says, "She doesn't drink."

Cryheart just threw a mottled grey egg over Missoni's head to plummet to the floor shattering into a wet gooey puddle as tiny white shell fragments skitter off in all directions.

Cryheart says, "Sorry."

Kayse amusedly asks, "Is he hiding?"

Raelee says, "... being 'good with words and vials' is a part of my job, entertaining this is not."

Speaking to Cryheart, Leafiara says, "Underestimating your own strength there."

The voice of Blades says, "Shoo."

Speaking to Leafiara, Pukk says, "So, eggs are Raelee's weakness....."

Cryheart says, "Ye took your eye away from me."

Speaking to Vaemyr, Dergoatean says, "I have a solution for that."

Speaking to Cryheart, Perigourd asks, "Is that a draw?"

Speaking sheepishly to Cryheart, Missoni says, "I got distracted."

The voice of Blades says, "Drink it."

Speaking to Bernadette, Srigos exclaims, "Thanks!"

Larsya glances between Kiyna and Vaemyr.

Cryheart says, "Catch it with the toddy."

Larsya asks, "Who won?"

Larsya peers quizzically at Vaemyr.

Vaemyr exclaims, "I did!"

Larsya lets out a cheer!

Pukk says, "Vaemyr won, Cryheart won and Bernadette won."

Lylia offhandedly says, "I may have won too."

Larsya lets out a cheer!

Tayler says, "Smart man."

Xorus says, "It was destiny."

Speaking to Pukk, Lylia says, "Xorus prefers the bed to the couch."

Missoni sheepishly says, "I should have been taller."

Speaking to Cryheart, Perigourd says, "In all fairness.. she's not that tall."

Lylia says, "Although in fairness, the settees at Brigatta are comfortable."

Speaking to Perigourd, Geijon says, "Well, Cryheart is pretty short if you ask me."

Speaking to Larsya, Raelee says, "Tell me something..."

Larsya pushes Kayse and Stormyrain further apart.

Xorus says, "There is a providence in landing on the bed instead of the couch."

Larsya peers quizzically at Raelee.

Speaking to Larsya, Raelee asks, "... had you left with your brother, who would have been left in command? The incoming regent?"

Vaemyr asks, "So, excited about seeing your brother again?"

Kisun says, "They was way too close."

Speaking to Missoni, Geijon says, "He's tiny."

Larsya shrugs at Raelee.

Larsya says, "Probably. Or Octaven until the Regent arrived."

Speaking amusedly to Geijon, Missoni says, "All a matter of perspective, I suppose."

Speaking to Larsya, Raelee says, "I see."
