<br><Justen> well... I guess it's time to head out
<br><Xandhil> right
<br><Xandhil> find Athos and then go?
<br><Justen> we should stop here again on the way back, if we get a chance, it's nice
<br> * Justen nods
<br> * Justen gathers up his pack, ready to head downstairs
<br> * Xandhil picks up his bag of holding and grins cheekily ;)
<br><Justen> *sigh*
<br> * Xandhil get the rst of his stuff too though, and will head down with you
<br><DiablotinNarrator> Athos is sitting at the bar when you get there
<br> * NPC1 is now known as Athos
<br><Athos> Heading off, are you?
<br><Xandhil> yes
<br><Xandhil> we did some diving in the lake though this morning
<br><Athos> oh, really?
<br><Athos> How did it go?
<br> * Xandhil 's hair is probably still wet, even
<br><Xandhil> well!
<br><Xandhil> I had some spells that helped us get down pretty far
<br> * Xandhil says vaguely
<br> * Athos nods, listening with considerable interest
<br><Xandhil> there is the remains of a town down there
<br><Xandhil> and a monument ot orelius, marking his downfall
<br><Athos> So maybe the stories are true, about there having been a battle there, before it was covered with water
<br><Xandhil> maybe!
<br><Xandhil> there was definietly something there
<br><Xandhil> we found a few other things too
<br> * Xandhil shows him the bowl
<br><Athos> oh, that's neat!
<br><Xandhil> there was some armour too, but I dind't think it would survive
<br> * Athos nods
<br><Xandhil> there are also some big... moster turtle-y things down there, so be careful if anyone else wants to try and diver for stuff
<br><Xandhil> but I think you could distracted with other food
<br><Xandhil> (distract it)
<br><Athos> uh, okay... good to know.
<br><Xandhil> thanks for the tip off, anyway :)
<br><Xandhil> we're off to see if we can find that wise woman on our way out of town
<br><Athos> Okay, good luck.
<br><Xandhil> thanks
<br><Athos> Maybe on your way back from this tomb or whatever it is, you might stop in here again? I'd really like to know about what you find there.
<br><Xandhil> We'd like to!
<br><Xandhil> Justen was just saying that :)
<br> * Athos smiles
<br><Justen> I was, it's true! Not just because your family's inn is comfortable and has great food and music, although that always helps ;)
<br><Xandhil> heh
<br><Xandhil> it is nice though
<br><Athos> well, you're welcome back anytime, of course :)
<br><Athos> we'd love to have you, er, see you again.
<br><Justen> We'll do our best to make it back here.
<br><Justen> So we can tell you all about the things we dig up.
<br><Athos> Thanks
<br><Xandhil> :)
<br><Xandhil> Shall we, then?
<br><Justen> Sure
<br><Athos> Good luck and safe travels!
<br><Xandhil> thanks!
<br><Justen> Thank you
<br> * Justen shoulders his bag again, ready to set off
<br> * Xandhil grabs hsi stuff as well
<br><Xandhil> do we actually know where we are going?
<br><Justen> well, we have the directions Athos gave us... hopefully that'll be good enough?
<br><Xandhil> keen
<br><Xandhil> then off we go :)
<br> * Justen nods, heading north out of the village
<br><Xandhil> do you think he was insinuating anything with his little slip there? ^-^
<br><Justen> hmm?
<br><Xandhil> "have you no I mean see you?"
<br><Justen> oh, maybe? or maybe he just thought it sounded inappropriate in Aveyronnais, if it's not his first language.
<br><Xandhil> maybe
<br><Justen> when we go back, we can investigate further ;)
<br><Xandhil> I suppose allll the cute boys we meet can be gay ;p
<br><Xandhil> or whatever
<br><Xandhil> into guys
<br><Justen> it's because you're so alluring ^-^
<br> * Justen takes your hand for a quick squeeze
<br><Xandhil> ?me squeezes back
<br> * Xandhil squeezes back
<br><Xandhil> I think its the package ;)
<br><Xandhil> not my package
<br><Xandhil> but us
<br><Xandhil> though my pckage is pretty impressive
<br><Justen> it really is
<br><Justen> and sometimes I think, maybe in small villages and stuff, some guys have never met other ... guy-loving-guys.
<br><Xandhil> that's true
<br><Justen> so maybe it's a bit like 'ohh that's a thing?'
<br><Xandhil> we're just brining the mansex to the needy
<br><Xandhil> like fuck missionaries
<br> * Justen laughs
<br><Justen> it's a good deed
<br><Xandhil> fuck missionary position is way better than the alternative though ;)
<br> * Justen laughs again
<br><Xandhil> ^-^
<br><Justen> isn't that all the positions? for.. education? ^-^
<br><Xandhil> yes ^-^
<br><Xandhil> gonna secure thoe converst >:D
<br><Xandhil> I bet we'd be far more popular than the Way of the Wheel
<br><Justen> oh, definitely.
<br><Justen> although maybe Serpent already has the market cornered in that department?
<br><Justen> though I think they don't market it right ;p
<br><Xandhil> yeah...
<br><Xandhil> We need more Sirrises
<br><Xandhil> fewer of the crazy vak Andras types
<br><Justen> yeah
<br><Justen> I guess it's the sort of thing that could take a while to sort out
<br><Xandhil> he was pretty fond of our pitch, as I recall ^-^
<br><Justen> he hadn't seen anyone in thousands of years, he might have fucked anyone who found him ;)
<br><Justen> but I'm happy to take a little credit for his fuck-friendly attitudes ^-^
<br><Xandhil> ^-^
<br><Xandhil> I don't think he had anything to complain about with us anyway
<br><Xandhil> Am was...
<br><Xandhil> that was quite a trip @_@
<br><Justen> it was... sometimes I don't think anything will quite top that, but on the other hand, I'm happy that things are so much better with us since then.
<br><Xandhil> yeah
<br> * Xandhil squeezes your hand again
<br><Xandhil> I was thinking that too
<br> * Justen smiles, squeezing back
<br><Xandhil> all these other adventures are cool
<br><Xandhil> but that changed so much
<br> * Justen nods
<br><Justen> it was really a wake-up for me... realizing how much I cared about you and didn't want to lose you.
<br> * Xandhil nods
<br><Xandhil> I'm glad
<br><Xandhil> because I really do love you
<br><Xandhil> so much
<br><Justen> I love you too
<br> * Justen leans over to kiss your cheek
<br> * Xandhil smiles and blushes a bit
<br><Justen> I think this is where Athos told us to go more north-west, towards those hills over there
<br> * Xandhil nods and will head that way
<br><Justen> and after we walk for a while, we're supposed to come to a stream, and then follow that until we get to her house
<br><Justen> probably at this rate, by the time we get there, it'll only be an hour or two until sunset.
<br><Xandhil> yeah...
<br><Xandhil> maybe she *will* have a guest room >.>
<br><Justen> we can ask, anyway
<br><Justen> even if not a room, maybe she won't mind if we want to sleep by the fire 
<br><Xandhil> yeah
<br><Xandhil> or we can tent nearby maybe
<br> * Justen nods
<br><Xandhil> at least
<br><Xandhil> (trufax - I can't remember what we wanted to talk to her for -_-)
<br><Xandhil> (checking the logs ;)
<br><DiablotinNarrator> (well, Athos said she was a priest of some non-Wheel sort, and I thiiink you wanted to see if she knew anything about local legends, or about horny goat-legged men ;)
<br><Xandhil> (oh yes ^-^)
<br><Xandhil> So how do we do this?
<br><Justen> hm? how do we get there?
<br><Xandhil> no
<br><Xandhil> I mean
<br><Xandhil> sdo we just knock
<br><Xandhil> and say "hello, we heard you were an interesting but eccentric wild woman, perhaps you can help us identify some local guardians?"
<br><Justen> hmm
<br><Justen> maybe just ask if we can talk to her, and then try to bring the subject around to that once we're inside?
<br> * Xandhil nods
<br><Justen> it's either that or have you fake a sprained ankle or something ;)
<br><Justen> those are my best ideas
<br><Xandhil> heh
<br><Xandhil> I think we can probably muddle through the first
<br> * Justen nods
<br><Xandhil> wise woman probably means healer which means she'll know I'm faking right away
<br><Justen> and if that doesn't work, we'll walk off and then you can start screaming in pain ;)
<br> * Justen teases
<br><Xandhil> ;p
<br><Justen> I can hear the stream, it sounds like it's just a little bit this way...
<br> * Xandhil nods
<br> * Justen leads you over in that direction, until you come across a small, rocky stream
<br><Justen> and then we just follow it upstream I guess
<br> * Xandhil nods
<br><Xandhil> hopefully it is on this side :p
<br><Justen> at least we can get a drink if we get thirsty
<br><Xandhil> eyah
<br><Justen> hey, showoff, you can fly across it, I'm the one who would get my feet wet ;)
<br><Xandhil> pft
<br><Xandhil> really we could teleport if we wanted
<br><Xandhil> I'm not dressed for flying though
<br><Justen> I could probably jump across it, it's not *that* wide
<br><Xandhil> It didn't seem like there would be much of a chance for it today
<br><Xandhil> yeah
<br><Xandhil> you could carry me ^-^
<br><Justen> I could :)
<br><Justen> or you could jump too, and maybe actually sprain your ankle ;)
<br><Xandhil> hee
<br><Xandhil> maybe
<br> * Justen and you continue along the stream for maybe another hour or more, until you're able to spot a small, brightly painted cottage nestled between two hills
<br><Justen> that must be it... no one else probably lives this far away from the village
<br><Xandhil> yeah
<br><Xandhil> well it's certainly....visible
<br><Justen> yeah... 
<br><Justen> maybe she's not so reclusive as we thought
<br><Xandhil> well
<br><Xandhil> she is still way out in the middle of nowhere
<br><Justen> true
<br><Justen> maybe she just likes bright colours
<br><Xandhil> who knows - I guess we'll see?
<br> * Justen nods
<br><Justen> looks like we're on the right side of the stream, at least
<br><Justen> no risky jumping ;)
<br><Xandhil> shall we, then?
<br> * Justen nods
<br><Justen> lead the way :)
