Topic: Your Precious Ferrel (Semi-Roleplay)

posted 04-15-2002 11:11:07 AM
She sits on the back of a gryphon, her tail twitching slowly back and forth.

Perhaps some of you have noticed that your silly little gnoll has been missing. Perhaps you didnt.

Regardless, I have her now. Even now, hidden away, my retainers tend her. Her Goddess has abandoned her. She is broken.

But why tell you? I do so because I enjoy the sport. A game of cat and mouse, if you will.

So, let the game begin... may the best person win...

Oh... here...

She tosses a dull and twisted halo onto the ground. It clinks softly, its luster long gone. It is matted with ash and some sort of oil

(OOC)Ferrel is somewhere in Norrath/Luclin/Planes. You'll be given clues to follow through the footsteps of the kidnappers. Interaction with Rozland will give clues! The better the roleplay, the better the clue.(OOC)

I FOUND HER! She was hiding in Blackburrow!

Khyron holds up some random gnoll he found in BB. The gnoll struggles and writhes free of Khyron's grip.

Gnoll : I'm not a girl! LEMME GO!

Errr... oops, looks like I haven't. I'll go search Shar Vahl again.

She taps her lip with interest.

Yes, High Priests can summon those halos. That halo, however, was wrestled from a god.

Hmm steamfont. Warm... but not quite right.

She tilts her head and waves a paw without interest.

Lesse... oil usually means clockworks. The blackened ash is caused by heat. The only places I know of with gnomes and heat, is Solusek's Eye, and Steamfont Mountains. Okay, so let's head off to Sol A!

Gnoll : C'mon! Lemme go! You already said I'm not the right gnoll!

Yeah, I know, but you're silly. Plus you're fun to poke. POKE POKE POKE!

Gnoll : YIP! STOP IT!

But on the other hand...hmmmmm ash and oil. Where can one find ash and oil. Lavastorm mountains is volcanicly active, one might find plenty of ash there, but there are no oil deposits that I am aware of. So lavastorm is out of the question. Hmmm other areas with volcanic activity/large amounts of ash. Burning woods? An entire forest burnt from a meteor. Plenty of ash there. Not sure about oil....what Khyron said.


Well you took long enough to consider. If you do not fight with my undead, then you shall fight against them. My army of untiring, uncomplaining, undead. Never need to eat. Never need to stop to rest. Can even walk in the daylight.

A game of cat and mouse, you say?

This Katt's on the playing field, now...

Drives her spearhead into the floor and leans on the butt of it

But I can see that this game is one that is of amusement for you, so if it will help the woman, I'll play your game...

Shall we start with a game of twenty questions? Hot & Cold? Or is this more along the lines of hide and seek?

Regardless, you've given us a fair hint, so far... Steamfont being close, but not quite right has me thinking one of three things.

Holds up her index finger

One, the most mundane of approaches, she's somewhere on Faydwer... But somehow, I find that to be rather a foolhardy place to keep a priestess prisoner... It bears looking into, though, if nothing else.

Holds up her middle finger as well

Two, Gnomes are somehow involved, since you speak of their homeland... This too, I doubt, simply because they are not concerned so much with such things as kidnapping more as they are curious about the inner workings of all things mechanical. I would check their zoo, and perhaps check my contacts within the ranks of their necromancers. I still doubt that's the road you intend us to go down...

Holds up her ring finger, at last.

And three, the tie to steamfont lies not with the gnomes, but more with a god that watches over them. Bristlebane has better things to do than kidnappings, and Brell is a being of creation, not of crime and torture.

What of the plaguebringer, though? Has he some stake in this?

Stands straight up from her spear once more

Well tell me, am I even close?

Never been there, I blush to say. I've always been quite fond of Antonica myself, and there's scarcely a zone on the continent I don't know like the back of my hand (The only possible exceptions being Nagafen's lair, and Permafrost).

I've travelled quite a lot, though. What can I say... when you know Selos Accelerando, wanderlust is easily satisfied, and I never found reason to deny myself that satisfaction before.

You two go on ahead to Solusek's Eye... I have little like for the heat, and I do my work from the shadows, so I'm afraid I wouldn't be much aid to you there, well, that you would see.

In the meantime, I'll investigate what my connections can tell me about this...

Good idea, There is a gnome friend of mine in the gnomes. Evah Xokex. He should be able to do any info searching you may want in the mines of malfunction. Tell him I sent you. He owe's me one. Also get some magnifying lenses on that halo. We might be able to find out something else from the ash and oil on it.

I doubt you'll get much information from him. Most of these guys aren't told what they're doing or why they're doing it... they're simply offered a payment they can't refuse.

*the gnome wipes the smear off her nose with one quick gesture, and traces a letter on her thigh with the ash. Her form begins to run and blur, compressing and condensing into the blue-tinted form of a pixie, thus explaining the floating*
