Day 1 Night

[12npcs]

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

Plants?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Certainly! A number of useful ones.

I don't recognize any of them. But it can't hurt to have spices if we're going to be here for any amount of time.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

[ Uhm. Gunpowder isn't a plant though . . . ]


Well, nothing that would excite such a faithfully devoted!

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

[As far as she knows...]

So... what?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

They're for medicine.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

[Oddly enough? That DOES catch her interest.]

Ehhh? Really?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Well, most of them!


[ putting her kits back together and then back into their pouches ]

[soul_sister]

[Fine I didn't want to see anyway!!!]

I'm sure we'll need it eventually.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Oh, I imagine so! If there's one universal constant it's hideous disease and grievous injury!

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

Aren't you a ray of sunshine?

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Ah, though, come to think of it, that's two constants . . .

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

Moving on!

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Yes!

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

So, we have a mage, a doctor, a swordsman, an Exorcist, a loyal assistant and.. [Hmm. Our last member's a bit of a mystery.]

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[thevineintervention]

Bluebird. She's a wanderer, most likely.

Re: [Back in the Crossroads of Comet and Gallows...]

[soul_sister]

... How can you tell?
