Off to the see the (dragon) wizard! (Jaela)

[Anastasia]

"There's gold in there? I thought gold came from stuffy dwarves who spend all day mining," Mirima smiles ever so slightly.

[Corwin]

"Less veins of gold in the walls and more gold dust and nuggets carried by the river," Jaela responds, managing a basic filter out of an old shirt and Brokion.

[Anastasia]

"Then why not?" Mirima shakes her head with a wry smile, "I'll keep watch."

How long are you going to be at this? How are you planning on this, just filtering and seeing how it goes?

[Corwin]

Like I said, 2 hours. That should be easily covered by my Foresight, and I'll keep on refreshing Vision of the Omniscient Eye. I planned on filtering a bit, and looking into larger nuggets I can see. Blindsight will let me spot them, Light-based bullshit might also help with filtering properly (hard light!). If my Dungeoneering suggests a better idea, I'll be all ears.

Mirima stands guard the entire time, say 15ft from the river.

[Anastasia]

Sounds good.

> roll 1d100 sub tables
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100 sub tables --> [ 1d100=4 ]{4}

You're barely 5 minutes into it when Mirima softly calls, "Jaela, we have someone approaching."

[Corwin]

With a flick of her wrist Jaela's improvised filter is stored away. Her wings allow her to rise a few feet above the water as she glances at Mirima for further information about their visitor.

[Anastasia]

The creature that emerges is a wolf, yet sleek and strong for one. It's entire gray-furred body is sharp, a low grow as it sees the two of you. Shining light gathers in its eyes, gleaming brightly.

[Corwin]

Jaela mirrors that trick, narrowing her glowing eyes and projecting anger to ward the animal off!

Taking 10 for Intimidate 58.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+31 can't win
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+31 can't win --> [ 1d20=9 ]{40}
> roll 1d2 how it interprets the glowy eye thing
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d2 how it interprets the glowy eye thing --> [ 1d2=2 ]{2}

You lock gazes with the wolf, until it slumps down and rolls over, showing you its belly.

[Corwin]

Jaela closes the distance, and reaches down to rub the wolf's belly!

[Anastasia]

Mirima watches with an amused look, hand on the hilt of her sword.

The wolf merely takes your belly-rubbing and pants, no sign of resistance.

[Corwin]

"That's a good wolf!" Jaela says happily. She spends a few minutes playing with him, before returning to her amateur search for gold!

[Anastasia]

Mirima's grinning by the time it's over. Just one thing - the wolf follows you to the shore and sits right behind you when you get back to work.

[Corwin]

"I'm trying to look for gold," Jaela is all too happy to tell the wolf as she works. "We're here on a quest to prove ourselves, but the terms are pretty vague. I got the impression that if we returned with something extra, beyond the bare minimum, it'd look better."

[Anastasia]

In response, the wolf rubs up against your legs.
