[IC] Chapter 2-3: Safe Haven

[Shanna Rendin]

"Hey Toot, you mentioned getting organized and Portho mentioned a silencing spell.  Well it seems we have time to start preparing ourselves... Merri, Shanna, the counsel mentioned something about spells being affected by the, the, this place.  Have you tried casting a spell here yet?"

Lugar would be very appreciative of a sculpt sound spell so that his movements remain silent.  Any other enchantments would be welcome too.

[OoC, I think we all have pretty defined rolls but maybe we can "organize" like Toot suggested earlier.  SG is our obvious front line tank/destroyer and we should keep him alive and well buffed.  Torin is our main healer followed by Toot and Portho.  Am I right in saying that Merri and Shanna are our battlefield controllers and blasters?  I know Torin, Toot, and Shanna are summoners. We should never be outnumbered : I see Lugar as the main scout (also trapsmith and backstabber), but really anyone can do that, even Merri's air elemental can scout (can an air elemental travel under water?). Where does Portho want to be in a fight? He is the Jack-of-all-trades!  What do we have to counter FEAR? Inspire Courage, wisdom buffs, protection from evil, other cleric spells, can anyone summon a paladin?]

"The only spells I attempted to cast so far have been from a wand, and they seem to have worked.  You should feel the effects if a creature of chaos attempts to harm you or control you."

((BC plus some buffing and debuffing.  She can summon, but it's not what she's best at.  RP reason.  Remove Fear {Level 1 Bard/Cleric spell} counters and removes Cause Fear and also grants +4 morale bonus to Will against fear effects.  We should be 'okay' against actual Divine or Arcane spells, but these effects are really neither arcane nor divine.))

"Shananana?  You know about other planes.  Do you know what counsel mean by spells being different here?  Or Merrinanana?  You know anything about other Planes?  Don't wanna cast any spells here that might not work, right?  So need to know what to expect."

[OoC: Knowledge Nature: +13; Result 28!; Searching memory for anything regarding Fey Realms and their magics.]

[Back at the City...]
While items are being identified, Toot's going to ask for the Amulet to be identified again to see if it has any additional powers as well as the Dagger with the continual light cast upon its tip.

[While leaving to meet the Counsel...]
While Toot rides in his tiny saddle on Boo's back he shifts his eyes back and forth from Shanna to Merrinna and back.  Toot stops and clears his throat.  If no one responds he has Boo roar [not super loudly but loud enough] to get their attention.  When they finally stop to listen Toot says, "Me has something to show yous twos.  Yous may not like it but it is what it is and you should know sooner than later, before someone accidentally blurts it out and gets me squished, fireballed or turned inside out."  Toot stands up in the saddle and states, "Me am Toot!  And me am Jermlaine!" With his last statement, Toot removes his hat of disguise to reveal himself to actually be a tiny, mishappened, grey-skinned humanoid with very slim limbs, a grumpy, big nosed face and slightly rat-like traits.  Toot then take on a defensive fighting stance so if they try to harm him, he will be ready to retaliate.

((Hey hey hey...goooodbyyyye   ))

"Shanna.  Sha-Nah.  My name is Shanna.  Yes, I do know something about other planes.  It is my speciality, to a degree.  And I asked the counsel why the portals were 'not exactly Conjuration, but close.'  I just received more obfuscation in response.  I fear they merely are allowing us to become the blind leading the blind in this case."

She then trails off in thought.

[Before the Counsel...]

The roar of a nearby bear snaps Shanna's focus to the present and she glares at the little person riding it.  She listens, her glare softening steadily into a neutral expression.  When it removes its hat and reveals it true form, Shanna only nods in understanding.

"I see.  Very wise of you to let us know during a far less tense moment.  Thank you Toot."

[Know: Planes is +15]
