Silverbreeze asked for companions. SunStorm: WELL, I AM ALREADY TAKEN BY ANOTHER QUEST, TO FIND THAT BLUE RING... BUT I YOU REALLY NEED A STRONG WARRIOR, I MAY COME WITH YOU. "If you wish to come: come," says Silverbreeze. "If you have another quest to fulfill, go on that if you want to. I would appreciate a strong warrior in our group, but if you have other commitments, go to them first." Turning towards him, Sheeta replied, "My best wishes to your upcoming quest. I cannot join you though, I am afraid. I came here to rest, and re- think my options for I too," she paused, and seemed to struggle to brought out the next words. "For I too, am engaged in a mission of my own." Silverbreeze smiles gently, "I understand. My best wishes to you Sheeta. May you find what you seek." Felix replies: "If your first action is to go to the aid of your missing companion, then I will accompany you to your land of 'Oerth' and assist you in returning to the icefield and rescuing Scarlet from whatever danger is to be found there. Further than that I cannot say at this time." Silverbreeze frowns at this. "I would like to say that I would go to the aid of Scarlet as my first action, but I am afraid that I have no idea where she is. My crystal ball can only give me the location of people on Oerth, not in other lands. "I cannot command you. It is up to you where you go. I hoped you could come with me, but if other things take you elsewhere, go with my thanks... may your gods watch over you, Felix." Ogion nods somberly. "It has been a long while since I risked life and limb for a noble cause. Perhaps too long. But there is nothing for me here. I will accompany you Silverbreeze." "I would be glad of your company," replies Silverbreeze. "The gods wait upon our movements now. Delleb protect us!" Shar looks up from yet another cup of coffee... "Quest? OK, I'm in. What's my share of the booty going to be?" She pauses. "Can you get me any quartz? Or could I find some in your world?" She sips again. "All I can say is, the coffee had better be better where we're going!" She drains the cup. "Some gold would be nice too." She pours another cup, and prepares to drink. Silverbreeze studies Shar as she sips her coffee. "Quartz? We have that in Oerth, if it is what I think you mean. And I can get you gold if you join - provided my home is as I left it... which is not a sure event, given who roams the land. I am rich, and to each of those who survive this quest, I shall give 1,000 gold pieces, or their equivalent in Oerth terms." "In any case, I would be heartened by your presence..." "Any more who would join, please speak now," crys out Silverbreeze in a voice which penetrates the inn. "I leave on a quest to save my land, Oerth. 1,000 gold upon the completion of the quest to all who come... "...and survive," he finishes in a lower tone of voice. He looks sadly at those around him. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Merric Blackman merricb@mundil also known as: -------------------------------------------------------------------- The ELF star player of Hadramaut Silverbreeze of Ulek Wizard of Greyhawk Eric Rakor X-wing pilot & jedi of the Rebellion Darkbolt Teenage mutant ninja.
