A forum where you can talk about SFFMW, ask questions about the comic, post fanstuff, and anything else (within reason, of course).

OOC: Stupid mages being frail and non-intimidating...
Jack turns to Trilgat.
"Well,Trilgat? You want a go?
Chaos, panic, and disorder...my work here is done.

I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away."

OOC: Oh, and some scrawny gnome is going to be more intimidating?

"So the only reason they care about what happens here has to do with that fragile little gem? My, my, you really are significant. They'll surely attack the village now."

"I feel that that's rather what I said. Enjoy having that on your head."
"I meant," said Iplsore bitterly, "what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
"CATS," he said eventually, "CATS ARE NICE."

Trilgat starts pacing around.
"So what you're saying is that we could torture you and kill you, but it won't mean anything to them besides the fact that their toy was stepped on? Boy, doesn't that heirarchy make you proud? How does it feel to be more worthless than a rock?"

"I don't know. Why don't you ask your superiors? Oh, yeah, you can't contact them. It's a shame they won't be able to hear your screams, they might enjoy it."

The traveler's eyes narrow. "Watch your tongue, runt. You'll be screaming just as loudly when your friends and neighbors are being burned alive."

"That assumes that your pretty little device is broken. For all you know it's just stuck in the ground. They won't care what condition you are in as long as it's intact, isn't that right?"

A variety of expressions flash over the traveler's scarred face. Finally, it goes slack except for one twitching eye-brow. He says, in a strained voice, "I feel fairly certain I explained the system to you. I check in each week and report the progress. A week goes by and I don't check in, they send out shock troops and raze this worth-less little hamlet. The device is just as worth-less with-out me as I am with-out it; it just doesn't have to deal with being punished. If. You. Have. It. P-... Please give it back."

"Oh-ho! It seems I struck a nerve."
Trilgat looks directly into the traveler's eyes, then says,
"You'll get it back when the druid is in good health."
And steps back, gesturing towards Druid.

Trilgat holds the ornament on front of him so that the traveler can see it, but not reach it.

The traveler noticeably relaxes. "I'm moving towards the druid now; if you'd be so good as to not cut my head off."

The traveler walks towards the druid's body, Grey Fox trailing him closely. The traveler crouches down. "He's still breathing." He picks up his hand. "Normal pulse." He lifts Druid's eye-lids.

"For gods' sakes! He's just unconscious! He said it was an old spell; it just wore him out casting it! A Cure Minor Wounds, or just some time, and he'll be back on his feet. If you still want me to work on the potions, it's no skin off my bones, but I don't see much point."

Trilgat turns to Jack.
"You mean you never bothered to check that before calling me over in a panic? What a waste of time."

Jack shrugs.
"I thought the reason we were getting him untied was to check the potions."
Chaos, panic, and disorder...my work here is done.

"We might as well, since he's already untied."

The traveler moves towards the pack, and mutters some-thing on the way. All any-one hears is "...ran...lobs...ron...".

He gets to the bag and unloads it; he thinks for a moment and organizes the jars by color. He starts talking to himself, and moving the bottles around.

Eventually, he has the bottles arranged to his satisfaction, and starts tasting, smelling, and observing the viscosity of the potions. After a few minutes of work, the bottles have been re-arranged again, and he pulls a piece of paper and a lead pencil from the bottom of the bag. He licks the pencil and begins writing. Soon, he rolls up the parchment and stands up; he walks over to Jack and hands it to him.

"Thank you."
Jack reads the scroll out loud.

"One delay poison, one barkskin, one bear's endurance, one blur, four cure light wounds, one cure serious wounds, two endure elements, one oil of greater magic weapon, one hide from animals, one oil of levitation, one potion of levitation, one magic fang, one neutralize poison, one nondetection, one pass without trace, two protection from arrows, one remove curse, one remove fear, one resist fire, one shield of faith, and two spider climbs."


"And I've labeled the corks, so no-one can confuse one for another. There's only room for initials, of course, but it's pretty self-explanatory."
