Purpearl casts fire at Hippogriff from the back row.

Please get it sorted ASAP, your PC's missing out. Lyrion hands Mhinak a woodcutter's axe. Mhinak finds the axe relatively sharp on the edge. (WP:8) Woodcutter's Axe (Sharpness varies, for chopping wood only; suitable for all classes) x 5 "You've to return it unfortunately. Or you could use your weapon if you see fit." Lyrion points to the pile of logs, "Please focus your energy on the pile of logs over there. We are over that hard part, of clearing trees." Lyrion looks over to Issac and Rocky and sighs regretfully, although his expression remains largely unchanged. "I didn't realise they are made of flesh, that needed ample rest." "We can smash through anything! We're rock hard!" "I'm the only one that's rock hard, you're brittle as clay, but we've got hearts of gold, so that's what matters." Lyrion shrugs. Bobby finds Issac's woodcutter's axe (WP:10) on the ground and gets the job done in no time. Current firewood stockpile: 8/25 units

I didn't really keep track of #131, but if you mean Ancient type, it means they are monsters that have lived for ages and not weak to any element.

QM Note: Waiting for Samuraiturtle to check in, before I move the party along. Lyrion bows, "I apologise on the behalf of my insensitive other half. Please do not take it to heart, we're a team, after all." "In the whole scheme of things, we need to survive, burning firewood achieves that, for light, warm our bodies, cook our meals and ultimately the question is, where does firewood comes from? Trees. And we've a pile of logs here to spilt so we can take them with us." explains Lyrion, his facial expression remains largely unchanged. "And seems to me that we've done an excellent job at that, all credit to my sense of responsibility to get the job done. Sometimes people are more inclined to deal with the physical side of things, some people are just born to lead" Lyrion shrugs. "I'm afraid we would need much more than what we currently have." "Ideally 25 units, if Lyrion's calculation is right on the money." "I'm usually better than this, when I'm not ill." Rocky lets out another deep cough. "I've nothing to offer in return, only my sense of gratitude. Your kindness will be remembered, Bobby" barely managing a smile as he slumps onto the ground, in exhausation. Issac drops his axe and helps Rocky to one side, making sure he is alright. OOC: Fixed. A moment of silence cricketed away as Naím exclaims, drawing the gaze of Lyrion, in particular. "Yes, Spesialia is not just across the river, or lake, we're preparing as much as we can. As to why the sign up sheet says nothing about Spesialia, please defer that to The Prospector when he's here." "Yes, I'm glad I'm not going there. Spesialia is the last place I'd want to set foot on. Wastelands everywhere, and it's a war torn place, ruins and lots of sadness around. To even think about going there, I'm impressed that there's a party that's willing to make that first step. If you can survive Spesialia, you've my respect. And I'm not even thinking about Fenario. But that's just me." "Quit spreading tales that aren't even true!" Current firewood stockpile: 3/25 units

Stats updated. And the party's still in Eubric. Lyrion balances himself on a small rock elevation and returns the kind gesture by kissing the back of Kiray's hand. "Kiray, what a beautiful concoction, nice to meet you. You're in good hands, lady knight. The Prospector is busy preparing for the trip to Spesialia and has kindly informed me to entertain our guest Heroes while we wait for his return anytime now. This nifty clearing at the edge of Eubric forest is not possible without my supervision and direction." He turns and points to the treehouse, "I've even converted a tree into a lodging for The Prospector and put together several pieces of rocks to make the ascend easier for the old man. See those overgrown mushrooms? Not possible without my daily input of nutrients. I care for nature and my team, that's why." "Daily input of nutrients." Hung snickers as Lyrion finishes his last sentence. Lyrion shifted his gaze momentarily to his pants and then meets Bobby's eye within a second, "Nothing's hanging, Bobby, but its a fine late afternoon. Enjoy your coffee whilst you're at it, I don't think we've prepared any hot beverages for the journey, other than buckets of fresh water. And we didn't prepare any hair stiffeners either. " "Mhinak, it's my pleasure." "Finally a man of our size, what are you, and what's wrong with your eye?" Kiray plunges her shovel into the soil and turns over several mounds of soil, but finds nothing of interest. Just then, one of the other axe-wielding men lets out a couple of worrying and deep coughs. *COUGH* "Get back to work, Rocky! Look at Kiray, a prime and excellent example for you guys to model. Double up, we need more firewood for the journey! We're barely halfway there!" "We've been working all night, and our dear Rocky is ill and diseased." "What a way to put it Issac. Anyway, I hope the gold that was promised to us is worth the night's work. I've three young kids and wife waiting for me back home." "Why on earth do these prospectors need so much firewood? To think there's something valuable in it, am I crazy to say that?" "We're travelling to Spesialia, dimwits, on a ship. Where else do you think we can get wood while at sea?" Lyrion rolls his eyes. Current firewood stockpile: 3 units "Na'im, pleasure to work with Heroes of Heroica." bowing in return. "Where do you Heroes come from? We've a lady knight, a man with weird hair and another with hair on his chin, and finally, a man who doesn't look like sunlight is his friend. I thought we were different from the others, what a relief." "We've hearts of gold, that's what we have that others don't. And we work for The Prospector, so we're shiny all round."

Logs are stacked haphazardly at one corner, amongst the little of shrubs that remain around the tree. Little seems to be an overstatement as the remaining vegetation flourish undisturbed. The Heroes could see two short statured Ancients idling around and two burly-axe-wielding men grumbling at the back. Seeing the Heroes approach the clearing, one of the Ancients steps forward. "Look who's here! Heroes from Heroica, so I've been informed. Welcome. I'm Lyrion and this is my brother Hung. We're the Lannisters. I'm in charge around here." "Whoever put you in charge?" "A team ultimately needs direction, Hung, and I'm willing to take one for the team to shoulder that burden." One of the men turns and gives Lyrion a dirty look and then scoffs. "I'm willing to take one for the team... to boss everyone around." Issac echos, in a sarcastic, yet amusing, manner. Maintaing his composure, Lyrion draws a deep breath and clears his throat. Attempting to redirect the conversation, he turns to the Heroes, "So esteemed Heroes, how should I address each one of you?" QM Note: A warm welcome to all! I will be your Host for this quest. The usual, confirm within 48 hours and we can get it underway. Meanwhile, please check your stats and feel free to interact with anyone.

A man wearing a decorated robe enters the Hall, this time holding a parchment. He revisits the sign-up sheet and ponders over the current sign-ups, each name at a time. Finally he spoke, "The Prospector speaking. Ahem. I would like the company of the following esteemed Heroes for Quest #136..."

A large were-racoon, with a bow strapped to his back, hurries into the Hall and scurries towards the Quest board, and sniffs anxiously at the current sign-ups pinned on the board.
