[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

Ooc - Still around, just busy. Is there a book on thaumaturgy or other magic book/items that could help him expand into a new class? He will purchase one if he has enough money. I was thinking Artificer, but really looking for anything that can make him a better crafter.

OoC: Well, I wouldn't let you pay gold to pick up another class.  That wouldn't be fair.  But having knowledge of a region would help.  Since War Forged come from Eberron you certainly would be aware of the Artificer.  And if you wanted to specialize in Crafting arms and armor I think I read some feats that could easily be adapted to assist in crafting martial equipment.  I may be able to find or convert something from this world that might interest you too.  As I stated before, anyone can take a rank in Knowledge Local History and puts a point in New Crobuzon to get knowledge of the region.  Otherwise you need to make the time to go find someone with a few ranks in this area.  But I do want to make clear that ranks stack.  So if you take Local History: New Crobuzon and then take Local history: The Sword Coast (Forgotten Realms), your rank would be 2 for both.  If you then added a Local History: Solamnia (DragonLance) then you would then have 3 ranks in all three regions.  

Betimi tries on the new black, chitin armour, marvelling at its flexibility.

"This is perfect, I must thank you. If we are still here later I might come to you with more requests like this."

Creel nods.  "I'd be happy to help."

Does Simon share the contents of these packages. Hard to imagine a wyrman delivering a mule.

[OoC: Sorry, I forgot to mention your mule.  It does arrive within the hour.  As for the packages, Simon doesn't say anything about them but you're free to ask.]

Betimi disappears behind the screen with Simon, after requesting that the party stay clear no matter what they hear.

There are the sounds of first pained whimpers, soon followed by a muffled scream, as if someone is biting down on a leather strap to stop from screaming.

A few minutes later Betimi comes out from behind the screen looking exhausted, covered in sweat, but she has a smile on her face, a tired but happy glow.

Simon follows Betimi out from behind the screen.  He looks at her with a little concern and says, "Are you sure you're alright.  It is pretty big.  I hope it didn't hurt too much."

She shakes herself out of her reverie at the subject of a carnival.  "Are you certain it would be wise for us to be seen at such a public event?  Especially given our outsider status and the obvious...discomfort the local constabulary views us with?"

Almost immediately after coming out from behind the screen her ill condition seems to improve, and soon she is once more hale and healthy.

However when she speaks, her vice is again like gravel, no longer her light, feminine tone.

"I do not think we should go to this carnival, but if we choose to I can again disguise myself."

The spearman bows at Selina's omnipresent wisdom and notes with due respect,
"I agree that us humans may be outstanding but kobolds may blend in... if they want to... Personally, I wouldn't start any risky activities before our departure."

Creel gives Selina, Betimi and Nacesh a puzzled expression.  "Oh?  Interesting..."

"Car..neeval?? What is car-ni-val? Will they has food?"

"Yes, there will be loads of food of all kinds to satisfy even the most exotic or picky eaters," replies Creel.


[Later...]

Eek looks at his brother... "You were to mate Jas'reel. If she lived she will be looking for you. You could make pups..."

"But me want to stay with brother.  What you think I show aptitude in?  Magic?  Fighting?  Something else?," the twin asks.

Piper looks thoughfully for a moment and states, "You've always been adept at studying creatures and the clergy spoke of your gift in the understanding of divine scrolls.  The High Scale of the Divine told me once that you could, if given enough time, decipher any divine scroll, no matter its origin.  That being said, the tribe could use more pups too!"
