Who: Geddoe + Anyone
What: A certain taciturn mercenary who's been MIA for a few weeks is finally showing his face again...
Where: En route to and later in the Blue Sanctum
When: May 28ish
Warnings: None

[A - Somewhere en route to the Blue Sanctum]

*If you happen to be out and about today, whether hunting, scouting, or just getting a breath of fresh air, you might happen to chance across a certain dragonsworn mercenary on his way back to the sanctum. He looks rather like he's been sleeping outside the past several days at least, and is hauling what appears to be the better part of a stag carcass slung across his shoulder. Do you approach?*


[B - Inside the Blue Sanctum]

*After having been absent for... several weeks, at least, Geddoe finally makes his way back into the sanctum. He's carrying a good chunk of stag carcass that he wastes no time handing over to those in charge of the food stores, and generally definitely looks the part of someone who's been roughing it outdoors for some time. That, and he's very obviously in need of a bath.

Still, though, at least he's back?*


((OOC: Since I derped out for most the month due to various things that came up I figured the simplest explanation for a lack of reaction on Geddoe's part to some of the recent events was that he simply wasn't around for them in the first place. :|b Feel free to poke me if there's anything you'd still like me to pick up or backtag though, even if it's old stuff!))

Comments

We'll just pretend that's what he said, haha

[lightningbearer]

Were any of them guilty?

Yeah. I got the numbers switched up in my head. xD

[ninjacques]

[He shakes his head again.]

[lightningbearer]

Do you know where the accusations came from?

[ninjacques]

...someone made the elves think we were at fault. We found out it was someone from the Blacksworn...

[lightningbearer]

*now that is interesting information*

You know who?

[ninjacques]

Someone named Qilby.

[lightningbearer]

I see.

*you better believe he'll remember that*

What came of it?

[ninjacques]

...the elves wanted us to clear out the furbolgs that took over one of their barrow dens- a way to prove ourselves.

They're like bear-men...about eight feet tall. We were told that they weren't normally so violent. ...they acted strangely, like mindless animals.

[lightningbearer]

So you completed the task?

*there's quite a few questions Jacques's summary raises, but Geddoe knows he's not the one to get answers from on that point*

[ninjacques]

[Sorry Geddoe. Jacques gives summaries of summaries.

He merely nods at that, though.]

[lightningbearer]

*Jacques probably wouldn't know the information Geddoe is wondering about, anyway*

Did the elves accept it as proof of your intentions?

[ninjacques]

[Again, Jacques nods.]

Our flights are no longer denied entry to Silverglen Retreat.

[lightningbearer]

*nods; he doesn't need many details on that point, but now that the main issue is out of the way...*

How do they determine to what flight someone belongs? I doubt everyone bothers wearing their livery if they don't have to.

*Geddoe, for one, rather prefers sticking with the clothes he came with*

[ninjacques]

[That seems like a random question, so for a moment Jacques is thrown. The hunter himself usually sticks to his usual wear, although he'd secured some Greensworn light armor and a cloak to wear if their flight had business with others, such as when they'd took the initiative in preparing to infiltrate Sin'thalas.]

...sometimes they do. Otherwise, if they don't say as much outright, then you might be able to tell from their magic if they use it.

[lightningbearer]

*which meant that some of the abilities people seemed to have gained upon arrival were unique to the various flights....*

Do you know what magic belongs to which flight?

*obviously, Geddoe himself hadn't had a chance yet to investigate that sort of thing*

[ninjacques]

...only what I saw the red and blue use, then. ...aside from Greensworn.

Red can use fire, blue... [He pauses, because isn't Geddoe from Bluesworn? Well, then again, perhaps no one's had any cause to use their abilities before the mercenary had gone off on his trip.] ...ice.

[It wasn't clear to him whether that vaporizing the furbolg bit had been part of the Bluesworn's magical repertoire or if it was something Yugo knew from home, so he holds off on mentioning that.]

...Greensworn can manipulate plant life, and call a mist that brings sleep or can poison... There's also dreamwalking...

[He considers before adding:]

...I can only do the first, so far.

[lightningbearer]

*that gets a nod*

Blue can see the strands of magic of this world. Most likely learn how to manipulate it, as well.

*he sees no reason to withhold that information from Jacques, though perhaps obviously the latter isn't a skill he's acquired yet, especially since testing his control of the rune came first*

[ninjacques]

[He's not quite sure he understands what that means, but he nods slowly, all the same.]

...then...could they learn the magic of other flights..?

[lightningbearer]

.... Probably not. What you've learned so far is somewhat instinctive since being brought here, isn't it?

[ninjacques]

[Considering that, Jacques nods again. This magic stuff is new to him in general, although he can't say that it isn't convenient, at least for as much as he's managed to learn, anyway.]

[lightningbearer]

The magic of this world is considerably different from the runes, at least.

*since despite appearances, Geddoe's reasonably accomplished at using rune magic, after all*

[ninjacques]

[He's not going to disagree nor question someone who knows rune magic, much less bears a True Rune.]

...does rune magic still work here, though?

[lightningbearer]

I can use mine, though it seems more difficult to control than usual.

*which was why he trekked off into the middle of nowhere to test it in the first place*

[ninjacques]

[Yet another nod. Geddoe should be used to getting those from him, though.]

[lightningbearer]

*Geddoe's very used to Jacques's minimalist style of speech, really*

Have you been having a hard time learning the magic here?

*....of course, by that same token, he can pick up at least a little on what Jacques isn't saying relevant to the topic at hand*
