Malta

Adventures Completed:
Helping an Alchemist x 1

Quote:
The land about you is dark and the only light is from the soon-setting darkened sun.

You heard in the market place or perhaps from gossip among your peers that a special herb grew along the banks of Lake Koralifel. The Oblivionite Mages prized it for its dark and powerful properties, claiming that spells and potions made with the herb were much stronger. The problem is, no one ever described the herb. All you overheard was that you would "know it when you see it"; and with that you left to go out and seek it yourself! All you know is that it dwells mostly on the Western banks of Koralifel and that it is easiest to find at night.

Please RP yourself going to the lake and searching.
If you are searching at night, go to "Dark".
If you are searching at any other time, go to "Failure".


Quote:
As you hunt among the gray and purple bushes and black grasses, the moon light shining above you, a strange glow off to your right catches your eye. Even though it is night, you can see a strange blue glow burning from within a patch of cattails along the bank. A scent that reminds you of a dusty library comes from that direction.

Drawn to the scent and the deep glow, you push the cattails aside to reveal a glowing faded blue fluffy-looking herb that spins and circles around to the center, much like a rose. This must be the Fluffotton that they spoke of! After all, what other herb glowed a faded blue and had that cloud-like shape?

Please RP your discovery and thoughts and then leaving. Feel free to RP your character going back home and bragging or showing their new discovery to teachers/parents. Make sure you reach 500 words or this won't count towards your RP requirements.
Reward: x2 Fluffotton

"I hate this s**t." growled the voice. Malta flinched as her bodyguard for the night grumbled to himself, and pretended not to hear.

She was out gathering herbs, and the elders thought her valuable enough to not be allowed in the dark forests alone. Malta felt flattered, but she wished one of them had come with her, or they had sent her mother. She supposed, though, that they had their reasons for sending her cousin Kumog instead. She had three bodyguards, all that been assigned that night - Kumog, Vorkin, and Reegel. All cousins, all clearly not happy about their job. Malta didn't think any of the young Diabi warriors liked her.

Vorkin and Reegel were off tonight - the forests had been quiet and the elders had determined that only one bodyguard was needed. Which was just fine with Malta - she rarely had problems in the lovely forests of Soldul, especially not the ones on her mother's tribe lands.

Also, though, fewer guards meant less complaining and worse. Complaining she could ignore - everybody had a right to complain, she figured, and her cousins were no exception. It was the other things they did that bothered her, like nipping her hindlegs or pinning her down and laughing at her feeble attempts to break free - mean stuff like that.

It wasn't so bad with just the one, though.

"This is such s**t..." he grumbled again, "Why are we even out here..."

Malta figured that it was a rhetorical question, but she answered it anyway. "I'm looking for Fluffotton, and other things too." she said, carefully putting a herb into her bag as if to emphasize her point. She wasn't complaining about the walking, though it was a warm night and she was starting to get our of breath. She liked gathering herbs.

"Sounds stupid and frivolously... fluffy." he growled.

"It isn't actually!" she said cheerfully, turning to beam at him. Kumog wasn't sneaky when he was on his own, she had noticed, and she was able to keep track of him. Which was good. "If you ate it, you'd start coughing up blood, and that would be very bad." She wouldn't wish that fate on anybody of course, but it was very neat to her how the plant could survive being eaten and still grow.

"Why in Soudana's name would I eat a plant..." growled Kumog back. She could see his glowing, emberous eyes in the darkness as she looked back. Silly him. He missed out on some of the very tasty plants. "What self respecting khehora would eat a plant?"

"Me."

"My point exactly." Malta's fins drooped slightly. Not sneaky or not, Kumog was still a jerk.

"... Anyway, its really good for making poisons." she said, perking up again with excitement. Poisons werent very nice, but they were fun to make and the elders wanted them, and thus, wanted her. It was good to feel wanted.

"Whats the point?" scoffed Kumog, "A real warrior doesn't need poison. Just claws."

"The elders wanted me to make it..." she protested, pouting at him unhappily.

"The elders are old and weak." he said, snarling, "A real warrior doesn't need poison."

She turned, her teeth bared slightly. "No they're not!" she protested, "They're big and strong!"

"Hmph." he said, looking to the side. "Is that your fluffawhatchamacallit over there?" he asked, gesturing with his head.

She looked towards the black abyss of the great Soldul lake. There, by the banks, was a glowing shape - recognizable at this distance as a plant. She bounced over, inspecting its fluffy rose-ish ness.

"Mmmhmm!" she said, picking it gently and putting it into her bag.

"Are we done" he said, unhappily, "can we leave the stupid lake behind?"

"We're not done, but sure!" she said, smiling up at him, before returning to the forest to find more of her precious herbs.
