Amina, Khavad, and Najya sit at a table by themselves in quiet conversation. A loud bang from the door of the restaurant snaps your attention to the front as you see a mountain of a man burst the door open. He is at least seven feet tall, head and face covered in shaggy red hair, and a Orchalcium Powerbow slung over his shoulder. He looks around the room, and his eyes settle on your group. "Aye. He's here." As he steps in, Laughter and River come inside on his heels.


The giant klunks over to your table (klunking because one of his legs has been replaced with a metal peg) and he slaps Khavad in the back. "Ey, laddie. Now is not the time to be making time with the ladies. Thar be work to get done, and time is running short. We need to be on our way with these fellers here on a grand adventure."


Khavad looks up as everyone in the room is focused on your table. "Um, let me intoduce you to Red Rory. He's the friend I was telling you about. Rory, this is my sister and her friend, Amina and Najya."
 
Unyielding Laughter


At this point Laughter sticks his head in the door. He spots his fellow Lunars and puts two and two together. "Amina? Najya? Fancy meeting you two here" he says, feeling more like himself again, "and you're Khavad, right? I've heard about you from those two, not to mention Rory".
 
Najya All Mice


Najya stared up at the gigantic figure, recognizing the peg leg, the enormous bow, and the unusual coloring in the back of her mind, while the front was busy running through a thousand variations of Damn, but he's huge!


Wincing a little in sympathy at the hearty slap to Khavad's back, she finally could see Laughter through the man's bulk. With a nod to her fellow Steward, she raised her mug in greeting "Ah, I see you've been having your own adventure, ay? Interesting folk around these parts...but then, you already know that." With a long draft, she emptied the mug, sighing for the all-to-brief respite.
 
"Ladies, I leave you alone for half of the day and already you're shaking up with some solar? What would Luna say?" Talgus answers with a grin.


"So, does your brother want to help us out against these 1st circle demons?"
 
Rory looks at River. "Of course he wants to help us. Whadya think he is, some sort of wussy? Get up, boy. Daylight is burning and we need to be on our way."


Khavad is obviously puzzled as he looks at everyone. "Demons? What is he talking about? If you need my help, of course I'll come. But, I would like to know what's going on."
 
"Actually, we've got a bit of time before we head off again" Laughter points out, "so I can probably sketch in the details. We've got two major problems. The first is a Third Circle Demon that's about to break free and lay waste creation. We're currently questing for an Artifact that will help us banish her... unless either of you two is a Sorcerer of the Adamant Circle by any chance? Because it's suddenly occured to me that we could save a lot of time if that were true. Regardless, the second problem is the threat of a second Fair Folk invasion, this time supplemented by an army of demons. That problem is less immediate, though possibly more disasterous".
 
"Yeah, lets go check out Rathess and see what we have to deal with. I might be a long trip through the jungle guys.


And now that these guys are with us can we please get some pack mules. They can't turn into mice and ride in sparrow backpacks." Talgus rolls his eyes at the last bit.
 
Unyielding Laughter


"You know River, I can't quite understand why you are so bent on taking pack animals. Not only is it faster to fly, but I consider it a point of pride to be able to travel with only my pack". Laughter glances to the side and adds "Besides, I've been learning a spell that allows me to transport us all at incredible speeds. We'll just use that. Unfortunately for you" he says, gesturing at River, "it can't transport too many bodies, so we won't be bringing any animals". He smiles broardly, and feigns suprise. "Oh my, I'd forgotten that there's a weight limit. So you'll all probably have to travel as something small so we can bring the Solars along for the ride. Such a shame, no?" At this point he starts laughing like a maniac.
 
Amina Ten-Spears


Sighing for the loss of her reputation as anything but an Exalt, Amina pushed back her chair and stood up.


"So, laughing one, what you are saying is that we are having pack animals, it is just that they are also Solars?" Amina gave her fellow Exalts a quirky grin, slapping Khavad on the shoulder. "Hope you're not minding carrying Najya and me around, little brother."
 
"And what spell would that be? I assume there are unpleasent side effects? At any rate, I have no way of assuming a form smaller than the one you're looking at. And speaking of extra things to carry..."


Talgus throws down a sack of jade artifacts after carrying them in from outside. "Ladies, care for anything you see here."
 
Shaking his head, Laughter replies "No, there's no side effects. The spell is a fairly simple one designed for rapidly transporting small numbers of people over large distances, though it unfortunately cannot carry too much additional weight or large numbers of people or animals. There's no problem with numbers at the moment though, just weight. My Essence isn't quite strong enough to carry this many people, considering how bulky some of you are." He points at River and Rory, two of the larger people in the room. "If it turns out I can't lift three people you'll probably have to go find a Mospid or something, River. Though I suspect tht something venemous would pobably be more to your liking".
 
Rory grabs his belly. "Its not my fault that I'm a growing boy. I need my strength to face the foes of Creation, and things like that. Lets be off and have this feller do some huntin' for a small critter to go for a ride with." He looks at Amina and Najya, and gives a wink. "Of course, if the ladies need anything to ride, I'd be happy to oblige."
 
Nodding, Laughter heads for the door. "Well then, let's be on our way. I'll give the spell a try once we're out of sight of the town" he explains with a smile.


------------------------


Yeah, Laughter will be casting Stormwind Rider once he gets outside of town. I'm pretty sure that 600 pounds is enough to carry River, Rory and Khavad, assuming Amina and Najya use something fairly light.
 
[[You want me to ride in a cyclone? You said no side effects! Put a muffler on that bad boy.]]


"A mospid? For a mighty warrior like myself? A mospid?" Talgus laughs a hearty roar. "You almost had me going there. You know as well as anyone that a mospid is hardly a worthy target for the greatest warrior on creation. I'd feel extremely silly hunting one for anything more than lunch."
 
(If River really finds the idea of travelling by cyclone oh so objectionable he can walk back. Laughter meanwhile, will be off to take a bath, having a snack and reading a book before turning in early. :D )


Laughter shrugs cheerfully. "If you want a from that can do something in a fight, then try a venemous snake. I hear there's even a few kinds that can kill an Exalt if one is foolish enough to get bitten. Maybe that'd be more your style" he suggests as an alternative. "Though I think I can probably manage three people. It's carrying the whole group I might find troubling".


He turns to the two Solars, grinning like his usual self. "Incidentally, it seems I never asked your Castes. I'm of the No Moon Caste myself, how about you folks?" he asks.
 
Rory gives you a toothy grin, and reveals the need for a bit of cosmetic dental work. "I have the honor of being a Dawn Caste, as if ye couldn't tell. The lad here," with another painful slap to Khavad's back, "is a Twilight, or somethin' like that."
 
Peering through his spectacles, and probably leaning far too close for Khavad's comfort, Laughter grins even wider. "A Twilight? How fortunate. Khavad wasn't it?" he asks. "Tell me, have you been initiated into Sorcery yet? If not, I'd be happy to help you".
 
"Uh, no, I've not learned anything like that. My talents lie with making things. I can work metal with my bare hands. Sometimes, my mind feels like it's filled to nearly bursting with ideas of things I plan on making. Its so frustrating. I need the right tools to make the right tools to make the things I can see in my mind. It takes sooo long to get the right parts and get everything just right."


You can tell he speaks with true passion for his work.
 
"I know the feeling" Laughter nods. "If you're looking for a way to push the boundries of your craft or make Artifacts, coming by the right tools and parts can be tricky. Still, Sorcery is very useful, and as a Twilight, it's your right as much as mine. If you want to learn how to summon forge spirits or something, just let me know" and with that Laughter strides off to go find a nice place to cats his spell.
 
"Anyhow, where are we even going? A straight shot to Rathess? Or are we meeting somewhere? I'm warning you it's not wise to fly through the jungle on a hurricane several hundred miles per hour.... but if you insist then we can. I just like to spot my predators before they hear me coming several miles away."


Talgus adusts his loin cloth, ensuring both daiklaves are there. "I have everything I need. I assume we'll just leave the jade artifacts behind then? If you're worried about people these are absolutely painful to carry."
 
Laughter swears loudly. "I knew I'd forgot something. Khavad, I don't suppose you anywhere we could hide these?"


"The Artifacts aside, we do have a fellow Lunar or two to meet back up with, if you'll remember. Though I'd think you'd remember at least our sponsor on this, all things considered. Once we've met back up we'll be following the route laid out when we began."
 
Khavad nods. "Sure. Back at the workshop. Besides, I'd like to pick up a few things before we leave."


Rory leans back in his chair with a loud creak. "Huff. How many more of ye beasties are there, that'cha got runnin' round in the woods? Are they ladies as purdy as these two?"
 
Amina Ten-Spears


Amina glared at the great red man. "You are after being a rude one, aren't you? Besides, you're having little room to call others beasties, as hairy as you are."


She scooped up some of the Jade equipment, mentally shaking her fist at Laughter and Talgus - Not enough to murder Immaculates, you're needing to wander around carrying proof of your deed in a hundred pounds of jade? - and passes some of it to Khavad. "Come on, little brother, let's go be hiding the goods, here."
 
Rory lets out a loud laugh at Amina's comment. "HA! You got spunk, that's for sure, girl." He watches with an open appreciation at your rear end as you leave with Khavad to store the Jade. Looking to Laughter and River, "Soooo, are either one of you and her..." He gives a meaningful wink. "Is she available?"
 
Talgus leans in close "I hear she wants to bear a litter of pups. And I won't be the stud... She's all yours."
