Reprise! Act 1!

[Rezantis]

Relm blinked, then snickered a bit.

"Yeah, I can see that being inconvenient, but at I suppose at least you don't see much hot water around these parts.  So . . . what, it's an actual polymorph, not just an illusion?"

[Carthrat]

"Oh, it's a polymorph, allright. All down to the plumbing," replies Carthrat-chan.

[Rezantis]

Relm snickered again.  "That sounds like someone's nasty practical joke.  Where'd you pick the curse up?"

[Carthrat]

Carthrat ponders. "Jusenkyo! That's it! Legendary Warriors Traning Ground or something. Nobody told me the place was cursed. Oh well."

[Rezantis]

Relm raised an eyebrow.  "So how does getting a polymorph curse help with training, anyway?"

[Carthrat]

"You're asking me?" replies Carthrat, shrugging. "Everything you see is natural talent honed through experiance, sister."

[Rezantis]

"Well, there are a lot of idiots out there,"  Relm glanced meaningfully at the village, "and it might not be a bad idea for us to get moving.  Coming?"

Relm made to head west into the forest.

[Carthrat]

"Yeah, yeah," replies Carthrat, striding along. "Wait, lemme check I've got something.."

Reaching into her armour, she pulls out a sleek pistol, equipped with a laser sight and silencer. Giving it a quick once-over, she slips it back. "Right!" she says, and marches into the forest. "How long is it to the other side?"

[Rezantis]

Relm blinked.  "About sixty miles, give or take, then another twenty or so to Kelusk.  And what was that?"

[Carthrat]

"A gun," replies Carthrat, dismissively. "Nothing special."

[Ginnezumusha]

After the monster had dissapeared with multiple attacks having hit it, Ginn had sat down for a few moments on a near by tree stump.  Looking around, he wondered where everyone else was.

Not actually caring that much, Ginn turned to the west, and started to head out of town towards the forest.

[Carthrat]

Night..

Relm and Carthrat had managed to find a small clearing about halfway through the forest. It wasn't long before they had a small pile of twigs happening..

Carthrat pulled a zippo from her armour and set fire to a pile of twigs. "Right! And, uh, got anything to eat?" she asks, sheepishly. "I had some chicken, but I think I dropped it in the mage guild."

<->

Meanwhile, Ginn found himself standing in front of a huge tree. While wandering around the forest, he had gotten lost, and wound up in front of it.

The tree had a door in it; the entire thing was about as wide as house and godly high. It was amazing he hadn't seen it from the town.

Next to the door was a wooden knocker.

<->

Ryoma had also gotten lost, but that was to be expected.

He had managed to wind up in the middle of a dense forest, and now he was getting hungry.

He could, however, hear voices to the north..

[Bean Bandit]

Ryoma resisted the urge to begin knocking down trees, and looked around. Slowly, he began to head north, in a wandering, erratic fashion, extending his senses into the forest, hoping to detect something edible...

[Carthrat]

As Ryoma headed through the woods, he saw..

..a pair of slim, female figures, chatting away. They both had pointy ears and slanty eyes, typical of elves. Long blonde hair cascaded down their backs, and they were wearing modest leathers in green and brown colours. Both of them were carrying bows and swords.

They didn't appear to notice Ryoma, who was conveniantly standing behind a bush.

[Bean Bandit]

Ryoma blinked. "This place has elves too? Hmm...I wonder if the dialect Legolas taught me works here...Hmm..Arwen was kind of pissy, though...better be ready for trouble."

Gripping the wrapped bundle carefully, Ryoma stepped out from behind the bush, his free hand raised in what he hoped was a non-threatening gesture.

<Hello.> He tried, wondering if his limited knowledge of Elvish would get him in trouble.
