Kotin's Notes
Excerpts from small blue leather journal.
A giantman brigand shouts, "Die, ya egg-shell!"
A giantman rogue feints to the right, but you aren't fooled for a second.

Reyonolis
========
A sudden whirlwind blows quickly into the area, dissipating just as Reyonolis fades into view.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Hello citizens of the coldest city ever."
Reyonolis shivers.
Reyonolis mutters under his breath.
Rioja nods to Reyonolis in greeting.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "Not that cold."
Speaking quietly to himself, Reyonolis says, "So cold."
Reyonolis shivers.
Speaking quietly to you, Reyonolis says, "It is."
Reyonolis nods.
Reyonolis grins wryly as he points at you, and a vortex of warm wind momentarily envelops you.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "Put on some plate."
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "Then stand by a fire."
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "You'll be warm in no time."
Reyonolis quietly says, "No no, I dont wear armor."
Joness shivers.
Rioja says, "Too long and you'll make nice crackle."
Speaking quietly to you, Reyonolis says, "I could go find a fire but people are here. For one like myself looking for help I think this is the right spot."
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "Well! We know why you're cold."
Checking the local records, you find:
Name: Reyonolis
Profession: Windcrafter
Race: Sylvankind Gender: Male
Reyonolis shivers.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Will be cold for a month after this."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Who here can help me look for something."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Shouldn't take too long."
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "I suppose it is easier to distribute your crafted wind without armor..."
Speaking to Reyonolis, Lopsopod asks, "What is it?"
Speaking to Reyonolis, Rhianui asks, "Yes, what?"
Speaking heartily to Lopsopod, you say, "Armor."
You see Windcrafter Reyonolis.
He appears to be a Sylvankind.
He is taller than average. He appears to be very young. He has piercing golden eyes and tanned skin. He has shoulder length, flowing golden blonde hair. He has a narrow face, a straight nose and long pointed ears. A series of painted white lines travel horizontally across his brow.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a thin leather cord suspending a carved wooden leaf, a shimmering green chainsil robe over a series of layered amber and brown robes, a white raw silk satchel, and a pair of leather sandals.
Lopsopod turns an inquisitive ear toward Reyonolis.
Rioja starts chuckling at you!
Speaking heartily to Lopsopod, you say, "He needs armor to keep warm."
Reyonolis quietly says, "I'm looking for a few types of plants found here that aids in my magic."
Speaking to you, Lopsopod asks, "AArmor?"
Lopsopod says, "Ah."
Rhianui nods at Reyonolis.
You smile at Rhianui.
Rhianui says, "Yes, I can probably help you."
Reyonolis quietly says, "If any could help, there is a rose that only grows in winter up here. A lily that only grows in the snow or maybe a flower that looks like the moon."
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "You may have asked at the most opportune time."
You smile at Rhianui.
Reyonolis quietly says, "If any could find me one I will gladly make them something."
Rhianui says, "A moonflower."
Rhianui nods.
You clasp Rioja's hand tenderly.
Reyonolis ponders.
Speaking to Reyonolis, Rhianui says, "I know where some of those can be found."
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis asks, "Could you find me one please?"
Rhianui asks, "Just one?"
Lopsopod asks, "Flower?"
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis says, "Well I only need one per an item I can make."
Xylador raises an eyebrow in Lopsopod's direction.
Reyonolis quietly says, "If others want one they will have to bring me a flower."
Rhianui ponders.
Speaking to Dolant, Rhianui asks, "I will just find a moonflower for this Sylvan. Do you want to come with me?"
Reyonolis grins at Rhianui.
Dolant smiles at Rhianui.
Reyonolis grins wryly as he points at Dolant, and his hair and clothing ruffle in a sudden updraft.
Lopsopod leans on you, giving you a companionable grin.
Dolant says, "I would love to."
Rhianui clasps Dolant's hand tenderly.
Dolant says, "Unless I would just get in the way.."
Speaking to Reyonolis, Rhianui says, "I won't be long."
Rhianui gazes fondly at Dolant.
Rhianui shakes her head, clucking her tongue.
Rhianui says, "Never."
Dolant grins.
Lady Rhianui just moved quietly south, with her group following closely.
Lady Rhianui just moved quietly into the area, her group following closely.
Rhianui offers Reyonolis a moonflower.
Reyonolis beams!
Reyonolis quietly says, "Perfect."
Reyonolis accepts Rhianui's moonflower.
Dolant gazes proudly at Rhianui.
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis asks, "Have you seen windcrafter magic?"
Rhianui ponders.
Rhianui looks over at Reyonolis and shakes her head.
Rhianui says, "I don't think I have."
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis says, "Then let me show you and make you a small gift."
Reyonolis removes a thick ebonwood armband from in his white raw silk satchel.
Reyonolis shows Rhianui his ebonwood armband.
Rhianui leans softly against Dolant.
Dolant gazes fondly at Rhianui.
Reyonolis turns to face Rhianui.
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis says, "Please accept this gift in celebration of life and the coming summer."
Rhianui raises an eyebrow.
Reyonolis offers Rhianui a thick ebonwood armband.
As Rhianui accepts Reyonolis's ebonwood armband, it suddenly glows with a soft light, its length writhing violently as darkened leaves sprout up from tiny buds in the bark. As quickly as it began moving, the wood stills.
Reyonolis beams!
Joness acts puzzled.
Reyonolis takes a few graceful steps around the area, as if dancing with an invisible partner. As he moves, his feet begin drifting just above the ground as subtle winds envelop him, ruffling his hair and clothing.
Dolant raises an eyebrow in Rhianui's direction.
Rhianui blinks at a thick ebonwood armband in her hand.
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis says, "That armband now has the essence of the moonflower and will live the life of that flower."
Rhianui shows Dolant her ebonwood armband.
Rhianui says, "That is quite something indeed."
Reyonolis quietly says, "If you like one i would need another flower."
Rhianui smiles at Reyonolis.
Reyonolis nods at Dolant.
Rhianui gazes fondly at Dolant.
Reyonolis grins at Rhianui.
Reyonolis nods at Rhianui.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Once you put it on you will break the magic if you remove it."
Rhianui says, "Oh..."
Reyonolis grins at Rhianui.
Rhianui nods understandingly.
Dolant glances anxiously at Rhianui.
Reyonolis quietly says, "I promise it wont hurt."
Joness whispers, "I have no idea what's going on. Seriously."
Reyonolis removes a thick ebonwood armband from in his white raw silk satchel.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Watch."
Joness lets out a yelp!
As Reyonolis dons his ebonwood armband, it twines up and around his arm. Tiny leaves spread open, splaying their vein-spliced surfaces to breathe in the air.
Joness blinks.
You agree with Joness.
Reyonolis touches his ebonwood armband, and as his fingertips brush against it, its leaves stretch open to their furthest length and burst fully open, glowing with an inner dark light. The faint, earthen scent of ebonwood rises up into the air.
Rhianui smiles.
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis says, "Its a magic of life and creation, not evil or destruction."
Dolant nods slowly.
Joness squirms.
Rhianui says, "I see, and it is very interesting."
You glance at Reyonolis.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Hmm."
Reyonolis turns to face you.
As Rhianui dons her ebonwood armband, it twines up and around her arm. Tiny leaves spread open, splaying their vein-spliced surfaces to breathe in the air.
Reyonolis grins at Rhianui.
You rub your chin thoughtfully.
Reyonolis glances at you.
Reyonolis waves dismissively towards you, and you find yourself stumbling under a sudden gust of wind. The winds linger about you for a few moments before the air stills once more.
You smile at Reyonolis.
Speaking to Reyonolis, Rhianui says, "It is quite enchanting as well as enchanted."
Reyonolis grins.
Reyonolis blushes a glowing shade of red.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Thank you."
Rhianui touches her ebonwood armband, and as her fingertips brush against it, its leaves stretch open to their furthest length and burst fully open, glowing with an inner dark light. The faint, earthen scent of ebonwood rises up into the air.
You smile.
Speaking to Reyonolis, Rhianui says, "I have not been long in this town, but I haven't seen you here before."
Speaking to Reyonolis, Rhianui asks, "Where have you traveled from?"
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis says, "Its because I am not from around here."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Far from the east side of the spine beyond Ta'Vaalor."
Rhianui says, ".. beyond Ta'Vaalor..."
Dolant nods at Rhianui.
Reyonolis quietly says, "We are from the far side of the Southron Waste."
Speaking to Reyonolis, Dolant asks, "We?"
Reyonolis nods at Dolant.
Reyonolis quietly says, "There are many windcrafters."
Rhianui asks, "Have you travelled with companions?"
Dolant sighs.
Reyonolis quietly says, "And a few travel ever year to learn more from the plants around the world."
Reyonolis quietly says, "There are a few of us here, I'm just the first to walk about."
Speaking to Rhianui, Dolant says, "A young healer, dead among thyrils."
Rhianui sighs at Dolant.
Dolant says, "I will go for him."
Rhianui says, "I will come as well."
Dolant gestures into the air.
A silvery fog coalesces around Dolant, obscuring his form. When the fog dissipates, Dolant is gone.
Rhianui curtsies politely to Reyonolis.
Reyonolis bows to Rhianui.
Rhianui says, "I must assist."
Reyonolis grins.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Be safe."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Hmm."
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you ask, "Where are you going?"
Speaking quietly to you, Reyonolis says, "There a rose that grows in the winter up here."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Or a tulip that grows in the ice."
You rub your chin thoughtfully.
You heartily say, "I have, unfortunately, not encountered either."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Hmm."
Speaking to Reyonolis, Rioja asks, "A small wild rose?"
Speaking quietly to Rioja, Reyonolis says, "No a rose that specifically grow during winter."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Wild roses grow all year."
You gaze up into the sky and see a broad field of lights...
The sharp angle of a spired tower is somewhat visible in a pattern of five stars, their light fading into the distant darkness.
Rioja nods at Reyonolis.
Dolant and Rhianui just arrived, dragging the body of Hurdlockeur with them. <-- He gots hurded
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you ask, "Does this particular rose have anything to do with the old pattern of starts?"
Reyonolis quietly says, "I am not sure."
Reyonolis quietly says, "I just know that its one of the few flowers our master wanted us to look for."
Speaking quietly to you, Reyonolis says, "Maybe she can help you." <-- Referring to Rhianui
You heartily say, "Forgive me... too many bangs in the head... "odd pattern of the stars"."
Speaking quietly to you, Reyonolis says, "Ahh no. We are here to study and learn."
You agree with Reyonolis.
Reyonolis quietly says, "We come here every year."
Speaking to you, Rhianui asks, "What do you need help with?"
You smile at Rhianui.
Speaking heartily to Rhianui, you say, "I'm trying to figure out how I can help Reyonolis and determine if his quest grants insight to the mysterious star pattern."
You gaze up into the sky and see a broad field of lights...
The sharp angle of a spired tower is somewhat visible in a pattern of five stars, their light fading into the distant darkness.
You adopt an agreeable expression.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Many falling. I blame the cold."
Reyonolis shivers.
Rhianui gazes up into the sky.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "They are falling elsewhere... not from around here."
Speaking to you, Rhianui says, "I will think on that for awhile."
Reyonolis frowns.
You nod at Rhianui.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Well as I said we travel every year and no stars falling has ever happen any other year."
Reyonolis waves dismissively towards Kqew, and he stumbles slightly under a sudden gust of wind. The winds linger, swirling about Kqew for a few moments before the air stills once more.
You rub your chin thoughtfully.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you ask, "What type of conditions would the flowers be found?"
Rioja says, "I bid you safe travels and good luck in your study, Reyonolis."
Reyonolis leans to one side and moves as if to touch the ground, then vanishes in a sudden swirling wind.
Some time later...
A sudden whirlwind blows quickly into the area, dissipating just as Reyonolis fades into view.
Reyonolis mutters cold.
Speaking to Reyonolis, Rhianui says, "Yes, it takes some time to adjust to the cold. Coming from Ta'Vaalor myself, I am still having a time of it."
Speaking quietly to Rhianui, Reyonolis says, "Every year they say to come here and yet I know for the next month I wont warm up."
Speaking quietly to Soulgrim, Reyonolis says, "Maybe you can help a little."
Speaking to Reyonolis, Soulgrim says, "If I could, I would."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Just looking for a flower or two."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Nothing too hard I do not think."
Soulgrim grins at Reyonolis.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you ask, "You need an escort?"
Speaking quietly to you, Reyonolis says, "I really am not one ot go out in the wilds. You would have to be too busy protecting me."
You turn to face Reyonolis.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you ask, "What kind of help?"
Reyonolis grins at you.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Just as I said. Find me a flower like the moon, a tulip growing in the ice, or maybe a lily growing in the snow."
Reyonolis quietly says, "Any one of them."
Reyonolis nods.
Your cheeks flush with a soft pale rose shade, darkening your freckles even more.
Reyonolis quietly says, "They aid in my magic to create my items."
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "I'll search for them."
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you ask, "Any particular terrain best for the search?"
Reyonolis quietly says, "I am not sure as am not familiar with this town's surrounding area."
You heartily say, "I'll keep an eye out."
Reyonolis quietly says, "I'm sure someone here could help you find them."
Reyonolis nods to you.
You rub your chin thoughtfully.
Reyonolis raises an arm skyward and closes his eyes. Suddenly, a strong breeze arises, swirling about him. The winds linger for a few moments, then subside as Reyonolis opens his eyes and lets his arm fall back to his side.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you ask, "When I do find them, where shall I find you?"
Reyonolis quietly says, "I'll be here for a bit long tonight."
Speaking to Reyonolis, Dolant asks, "I...or I should say, my lovely fiance, found this, if you wuold like?"
Reyonolis quietly says, "And for the next few days."
Dolant taps an ice tulip, which is in his right hand.
Rhianui flushes slightly, some color reaching her cheeks.
Reyonolis grins at Dolant.
Reyonolis takes a few graceful steps around the area, as if dancing with an invisible partner. As he moves, his feet begin drifting just above the ground as subtle winds envelop him, ruffling his hair and clothing.
Dolant offers Reyonolis an ice tulip.
Reyonolis accepts Dolant's ice tulip.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you say, "She's the best forager around these parts."
You smile at Rhianui.
Dolant agrees with you.
Rhianui blushes a light pink shade at you.
Reyonolis grins.
Speaking to Reyonolis, Dolant asks, "If it would not be too much trouble?"
Rhianui says, "No, I'm sure there are plenty others just as skilled as I am."
Reyonolis quietly says, "No trouble at all."
Dolant looks over at Rhianui and shakes his head.
Reyonolis removes a thick ebonwood armband from in his white raw silk satchel.
Speaking to Rhianui, Dolant says, "I find that very hard to believe."
Reyonolis beams happily at a thick ebonwood armband in his hand.
Reyonolis offers Dolant a thick ebonwood armband.
As Dolant accepts Reyonolis's ebonwood armband, it suddenly glows with a soft light, its length writhing violently as darkened leaves sprout up from tiny buds in the bark. As quickly as it began moving, the wood stills.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Please accept this in celebration of life and the coming summer."
Reyonolis takes a few graceful steps around the area, as if dancing with an invisible partner. As he moves, his feet begin drifting just above the ground as subtle winds envelop him, ruffling his hair and clothing.
Speaking to Reyonolis, Dolant says, "You are most kind."
Speaking quietly to Dolant, Reyonolis says, "Thank you too for aiding me."
You quietly whisper to Rhianui, "Where are you finding these flowers?"
Rhianui whispers, "At the midden heap, the Garden of the abandoned farm."
Kotin head to the midden heap.
[Abandoned Farm, Garden]
A broken-down farm house stands just inside the wooden archway, its empty door and broken windows leering over the snow-filled garden. A dilapidated barn slumps into the snow to the north of the garden. To the southeast, a thin trail leads around the corner of the house. You also see a midden heap.
Obvious paths: southeast
...and forages, and forages, and forages
You forage briefly and manage to find an ice tulip!
Kotin returns to Town Center
Reyonolis quietly says, "Wel maybe I'll go find some warm somewhere for the night and come back tomorrow."
You smile at Reyonolis.
Reyonolis glances at you.
You show Reyonolis your ice tulip.
Reyonolis quietly says, "That is it."
Reyonolis grins.
Serunai says, "There is a nice warm inn down the road."
You smile.
Serunai nods.
You offer your ice tulip to Reyonolis.
Reyonolis has accepted your offer and is now holding an ice tulip.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Thank you."
Reyonolis removes a thick ebonwood armband from in his white raw silk satchel.
Reyonolis gazes in awe at a thick ebonwood armband in his hand.
Speaking heartily to Reyonolis, you ask, "You need one of the moon and a rose now as well?"
Wrapping his fingers tightly around the ebonwood armband, Reyonolis chants a soothing, melodic phrase. A slight wisp of air lit with an ethereal glow swirls up and out of the ice tulip, winding its way over to and sinking fully into a thick ebonwood armband as the tulip disintegrates.
Reyonolis takes a few graceful steps around the area, as if dancing with an invisible partner. As he moves, his feet begin drifting just above the ground as subtle winds envelop him, ruffling his hair and clothing.
Reyonolis quietly says, "This was perfect for tonight. thank you."
Reyonolis offers you a thick ebonwood armband.
You blink.
You accept Reyonolis's offer and are now holding a thick ebonwood armband.
The ebonwood armband suddenly glows with a soft light, its length writhing violently as darkened leaves sprout up from tiny buds in the bark. As your fingers settle over its length, the wood stills its movement.
Rhianui smiles at you.
Reyonolis grins.
You determine that you could wear the armband around your wrist. The armband appears to serve some purpose.
You carefully examine the ebonwood armband and determine that the weight is less than 2 pounds.
You tap a thick ebonwood armband, which is in your right hand.
Hmm, nothing happens. Maybe you have to wear it first.
You rub the ebonwood armband in your hand.
You rub your chin thoughtfully.
Reyonolis quietly says, "Ok good night everyone."
You wave to Reyonolis.
Serunai nods at Reyonolis.
Rhianui curtsies politely to Reyonolis.
Reyonolis leans to one side and moves as if to touch the ground, then vanishes in a sudden swirling wind.
You wear a thick ebonwood armband.
You tap a thick ebonwood armband that you are wearing.
As you run your fingers across your ebonwood armband, the length of wood seems to almost grow, twisting down into an extra spiral around your arm, while the leaves curl up into crinkled furls.
You quietly whisper to Rhianui, "Any idea what this does?"
Rhianui whispers, "Wear it and tap it and it casts colours."
You blink. (Kotin needs to learn how to use magical items)
