Goddard smiles and stretches as he gets up. He walks over to the pot and turns it upside down. "Well...none of that went to waste," he somehow finds space for it in his pack full of books and various other things. As always, he takes inventory, makes sure the swords are attached securely and turns to Aara. "Anything else? Should I tie Katarina to a rock," he grins.

Post Snack Time

After Goddard finishes eating, he looks Tannin up and down for a moment then looks around at the rocks. "Now...we are going to do this my way Khaldah. Sit here," he points at a spot on the ground and begins to take some of the wrappings off one of his arms. Once Tannin is seated, Goddard stands behind Tannin, pulls his dagger from his boot, leans down and holds it to Tannin's throat.

"I don't know what you are...allergic to exactly but from that book, I know one of the possibilities is ithilmar. That's what this dagger is made of. If you are allergic, if I cut you, you should burst into flames. If you aren't...then...I'm assuming this still won't be good for your...health...so either way, it won't be pretty."

Goddard puts his free arm over Tannin's shoulder. "Here...I'm hoping you will know when to stop on your own but if not, you stop when I tell you to. We are trusting each other to not kill each other...and its just for lunch," he chuckles.

Underground Sky

Goddard grabs one of the skulls he carries with him and after whispering a few words in elven, it begins to glow brightly. He puts his hand inside of it like a puppet and mumbles with a snicker, "I feel light headed..."

The fairly smooth tunnel begins to turn into more rough cave walls. Tiny glowing mushrooms grow all around them and strange glowing insects skitter about. Goddard stops occasionally to collect samples of the glowing fungus and any bugs that aren't too fast. The light from the skull disappearing when he lets it go.

As they continue walking on, the cave they are traveling through opens up into a massive cavern. Goddard drops the skull and it bounces off the others he carries on his belt making a hollow sound that echos. The light from it goes out as he looks up. "Wow..."

The cavern is as bright as if on the clearest night with both moons full and every star at its brightest. Countless points of glowing light shine from the ceiling and millions of long sparkling strands decorate it.  Silhouettes of small flying creatures, maybe bats, silently move about above them and the tall thin stalagmites are reminiscent of  dark tree trunks. The only sound they hear other than their breathing, is the distant faint drip of water.

Underground

Goddard continues to take notes on what is going on with Tannin.

Master what are you doing? He's clearly dying...end him!

"No no...he's not dying. He's...I dunno...undying..." Goddard mumbles as he keep writing.

Should we kill him Master?

"I said no! Sheesh...sit here and be quiet," he taps the top of the book with the end of the feather.

Yes Master.

-

Goddard curls up. "Damn bats," he mumbles still asleep. He rolls over onto his other side and curls up again. "Loaves hehe..." He twists his fingers up in his hair and slowly opens his eyes. "Hmmm just dreaming," he grumbles and sits up. He stretches while he quietly watches Aara.

Moonlight waltz of Dragon and Cobra

"I see no woman here. No man either. Just 2 warriors" Tannin says circling

Out and About

Goddard's jaw drops. 

Master! Find your words!

NOT on a boat...aawww

Goddard and Aara finally get back to the roof of the building the party is staying at after visiting the bones priests.

"Why did we need to jump on roofs," Goddard pants. "You know I'm clumsy...I could have died...maybe..."

DRAMA!

Goddard's ears perk up, "Lecai?" he whispers, then lays his ears flat against his head. "Go away lecai! Go ask that horrid witch what she saw...you deserve better..."

She hears a loud thud and then Goddard saying a string of harsh elven words.

Dramatic Boat

Goddard quickly re-gathers the fabric and scrambles out of the cabin, practically diving back into his own cabin. He shuts the door behind him.

Master you're back!

"You didn't follow me? That's a surprise," he pants.

Oh Master even I know to respect the privacy of a man and a woman.

"UGH! I didn't do anything! Won't anyone believe me?"

But Mas...

"Ok ok I know why no one will believe me but...I don't always lie..."

Master....

"I DON'T!" 

Boat boat boat boat

He grins but doesn't touch her. That may ruin his chance for future hugs. Goddard then leans up against the door and calls out, "That's not necessary...I won't go into your room unless you...ya know...invite me in...but you can always wander into my cabin!" He walks back over to Aara. "I don't know why she just won't tell me her true feelings," he laughs.

On a BIG boat

The party gets on board yet another watercraft for travel. Except this time, it's much bigger and luxurious compared to the barge. Despite the stormy weather, the ship will head out to Araby where they will search of a vampire.

After Goddard gets Zhane settled and gets the "ghost bat" to do some non-sense task, he walks over to Katarina.

"You seemed to get upset when I mentioned something about my father. Dunno what I said but I'm sorry."

He rubs the back of his head and says while looking down , "I don't mean to make you sad...you're too pretty for a sad face," he looks back up at her, smiling.

We're on a floating 2 x 4

Goddard stares at Katarina and shudders. "I'm sure you can think of things my elven brain couldn't even comprehend...you can keep all that to yourself..."

We're on a boat...Drunk maybe?

"It's easy to find a reason to want to kill someone...it's harder to find a reason not to," Goddard seems to be talking to his re-filled cup which is then quickly emptied again. He slowly sits on the ground with a slight wobble and holds his cup up for Tannin. "I'll stay here for a bit and maybe not drink this so fast..." He puts his other hand to his forehead. "Maybe.."

We're on a boat...

The party has gotten to know each other a bit the first few days of the trip and are settling in as they head to Sylvania.

Goddard was about to explain what Sigmar's sausage was all about but chuckles and figures it will be a bit more amusing to let them wonder. He walks over to the side and peers down at the water. He shivers a little bit but keeps watching the waves. He continues to listen to the strange conversations and chimes in with inappropriate comments when he feels its....appropriate...
