Gilley glances back at Piper, thinking for a moment, then shrugging. "I don't know, really. I've just always been interested. I mean, I know they can be dangerous and all, but..." He chuckles. "They're the best predators out there, and I have to respect that. And I heard stories about some of them being smarter than people..."

I'm Kee, my Lady. - he takes a small break and continues - You wandered so far from your roots. Selina's smile remains. Well, perhaps she could find some semblance of normalcy in this chaotic world. "Greetings to you, Master Kee. I am called Selina, Priestess of Selune. My companions and I are here by sheer happenstance and not voluntarily. With me are Betimi, masters Tomeal and Nacesh, and..." She had been lifting a hand to indicate each person, but now seems to be searching for someone. ((If I forget anyone, it's not intentional!!))

This man is a cleric of a righteous god of our world."

If you have the specs for the weapon I may be able to create it for you." Selina sighs and shrugs. "Selune and Heironeus are both gods of our realm. We are not from these parts."

Seeing the small man in worn out full plate he says, "Wha Kin I do ya fer?" The smith seems to take special notice of the greetings shared between Kee and Selina. He raises what could have been a prickly eyebrow (if he had eyebrows) and states, "What kind of gods are they? Never heard of 'em an my grower was a holy Cactacae. To pass the time he would tell stories about the gods since practically the moment I sprouted from my bulb into a pup. Where are yous from? There be a different look about yas." Selina nods in agreement. "I am need of a new set of armor and a new weapon, myself. I believe I was looking for a greatsword and a set of Full Plate. May I see what you have of those?" She then turns to Kee and responds. "We were taken here by a one-way portal in the the depths of a cavern that had, until recently, been co-opted as the lair of a revolting monstrosity called Unreth. I say 'Until recently' because, with the help of these fine folk, it was dispatched." She seems to blossom with pride as she says this in regard to her companions, as if she expected them to succeed against Unreth, but in doing so they proved themselves to be great individuals of valour. Besides, Heironeus was all about that sort of stuff anyway. ((Although the Greatcleaver and Rivebow both look pretty awesome...Selina probably has as little room for feating up exotic weapons as Betimi...maybe even less.))

RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - GM Marvel - 08-31-2017 The Smith nods at Selina's request and begins showing her the full plate and great swords he has on display. There are the usual masterwork and regular types of equipment. He also has some magical options as well. All the standard materials are available as well as a few non-standard... Quote:Skymetal Alloys Quote:Stainless Steel Quote:Asbestos Cloth RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 08-31-2017 Havimngh said his piece Ningalu again tries to fade into the background, not at all appreciative of Selina drawing the attention of this newcomer to him for no good, as far as he could tell, reason. Why must these big folk be so trusting. He wondered at Selina calling Betimi by name despite Betimi obviously being in disguise as well. One to beware of this Selina was.. she was overly trusting, and it could cause trouble. He preferred Nacesh, and Betimi.. they did not trust anyone. He'd have to ask Powaw what he thought. Maybe ths Gilley was secret enough to keep them safe. Come to think of it he knew less about gilley than any of these big folk. Yes, he would trust Gilley to keep them hidden and safe.

Piper nods. "Most are. Some... not so much. Most of my kind hold all dragons with high reverence. With my enrollment in Bard College I'm a little more well educated than the majority of my kind. My twin companions have also well educated themselves too." When Piper refers to himself as 'educated' he does so in a jokingly snooty tone. He not a kobold who thinks of himself as above others of kind. "Was there anything I could help you with? You seem... lost or disappointed."

More worshipers means more power. ][OoC: Yes of course he wears his symbol in a noticeable way. I thought that you use the hear verb's first meaning "to perceive or become aware of by the ear". ] - Yes similiar but he is much more than a yet another God of War. His most important teaching are chivalry, justice and valor.

If you heart is pure then you shouldn't afraid from Heironeous' wrath. I'm trusting in you cos you are with Selina and she is also trusting in you. RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - Ningalu Baal'urki - 08-31-2017 "Most pal.. pal?din? not wait, many just kill." [OoC it probably occurs to someone with Kee's wisdom that Nin probably has no way to tell a paladin from a regular warrior on crusade] RE: New Crobuzon & the World Beyond - GM Marvel - 09-01-2017 While you all talk among yourselves, those of you still looking at weapons will also notice a few firearms mounted on the wall. The Smith ask Kee to remove the armor and equipment which needs repairing and he will start on the repairs. None of the damage is excessive so he should be able to replace some of the padding, bang the dents out of the plating and reshape the helm. All of which takes about 30 minutes. In the meantime anyone else needing help will be assisted by the Smith's son. He's a strong looking lad (cactus) who like his parent has thick fibrous skin and cords of wood-like muscles. His name is Spikes-Growing and he stands about 6' tall. Unlike his parent he seems to be sprouting small red flowers here and there along the ridges of his dark green skin. You guest the heat from the forges may have removed them or perhaps it's a fashion choice. |
