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)
Yah, I hope yas know that she can summon these..
Anyways.
What choo keepin that priestess fer anyway? Didshe "forgets" to heal yas or somefin? C'mon naw, speak up, dont be shy. I wont tell nobody.
Aw heck, Even if'n ya dont tell me, I could prolly find 'er meself. Been all 'round this blasted world, nawt like 'er hiding place'd surprise me. It'd mahbe take a week or two if'n I wus really lookin...
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.
Hey everybody! Let's play Kick-The-Gnome! (Translation : Let's head to STEAMFONT)
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.
I do not deal with the undead.
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! [ 04-15-2002: Message edited by: Khyron ]

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.

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?
Now, I dont normally work with...cats. But this is a worthy cause. Khyron, other cat person. Sol A. We go there now to investigate.
*Grabs his spectre warrior pet to accompany them to SolA*

As an aside, I am glad to see that you others are persuing the avenue of the Halo... perhaps the mines of malfunction may have something to do with this as well...
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.
In the meantime, I'll investigate what my connections can tell me about this...

I'll check with your source, once we get another response from our Griffon riding referee for this lovely game...

Lavastorm sounds like ah good place tah look. I have a decent rep wif dem clockwork things, saw lemme check there, yall can checks the tunnels in Ol' naggy's layah.
Summons a Halo and hands it to Kat
Lemmeh knaw if'n ya find any mahjor diffrences. If'n she's hurt badly, it'll sho on da halo.
And so it begins. See you at the end.
Spurring her gryphon, she rides into the sky and quickly out of view.

After a trip to Solusek's Eye, the area is guarded by angry goblins. They chitter and jabber about dark invaders.

Sighs and shakes her head
Could be worse, could have been somewhere in the ocean...
Hey, wait up!
Dives into the circle as Emus begins the spell and grabs hold of his robes so she's not left behind.
Khyron pulls out his flute, and begins to blow. A haunting melody fills the air, covering him with a thin mist, hiding him from goblin eyes.
Khyron walks into Solusek's Eye, walking up to one of the gnomes. The gnome quickly eyes him, then screams and attacks! Khyron runs like hell out of there. A few hours of camping the kobold down there that gives miner faction, and he's all set. He walks up to that big 'ol fort there, and calls out...
Hey! Anyone seen a high elf cleric 'round here? Purple plate? Killer body? Probably being kidnapped?

Alright, theres something I'm sure you know and you are gonna tell me.
*slap*
Have you or your underlings seen a high elven clericf, purple plate. Being taken anywhere forcefully?
TELL ME!!!

Khyron thought about the meaning of life:
Why RIG, I do not know what it is that you are speaking about.
Hey... I'm the resident ninja-bastard round here... well, Maradon has better ninja edit skills, but I have the sig pics damnit!
I did it all for the Pocky... yep.
Rests her hand on the gnome's shoulder
Forgive my companion, here... He finds that the most direct route often involves going through obstacles... Might you be able to help us? We can make it worth your while...
Glances over to Siliddar, wondering just who this man is that she seems to have followed. It dawns on her that the best tactic for her, and perhaps for all parties involved might be to split up. Certainly, the locals might appreciate it...
Now, Mr. Gnomie... OOH! CAN I RUB YOUR HEAD FOR GOOD LUCK?
Ahem, sorry.
Have you seen our friend?
Khyron walks up behind the gnome and softly starts singing 'Cinda's Charismatic Carillon' to help... coax info out of the gnome.

Khyron wrote this then went back to looking for porn:
Going through obstacles? Nah. His strategy is more like 'threaten the rock in my way, if it doesn't budge, blast it to bits and laugh like a maniac'.
Couldnt be more accurate...
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*
I'm not much in the form of sleuthing and deducing things, but my ways of gathering information can be quite useful if used right. I know a variety of languages and can assume a variety of forms and, one way or another, get people to trust me.
*the pixie winks a little, forcing back a sigh with a grin* I also like to know what's happening to friends... and don't like to see them in danger...
