The Four Treasures

seeing that he was back into human form i disspelled the wall, and ran forward to catch him. "easy now" i said lowerng him slowly to the ground.

Abrubtly alex turned back into a human. But we had another problem on our hands now. "get that monster!" i said pionting at the huge wet creature, "it just tried to kill alex!"

Croak quickly transformed back into his normal form, happy that he didn't have to get dirty after all. Alex, on the other hand, was a mess, and so was Diz, who got the muck all over him as he helped Alex to the ground. Croak walked up to the group.

"What was that all about?"

"I will explain but it will be better if we are all together so we can all hear it, so lets go find the others" i said picking alex up onto my shoulder, he had gained a bit of weight, probably justa side effect of the curse.

I felt my eyes widen in confusion. "You can be a frog and a monster and a Greggory, anything else before we accedently kill you?" i asked croak.

I peeked into a bar and caught sight of Seraph in the corner. I went up to the bartender.
"Aviator hangover."
"What's that?"
"Take your five hardest drinks and put the in one glass and you have an aviator hangover." The bartender obliged and I joined Seraph in the corner. He was already showing signs of drunkness.
"Must be horrible, having to constantly balance justice with injustice."
"You have no idea."
"I think I do." I took a big gulp of my drink.
"It was about 10 years ago. I was fresh out of basic training. I was flying recon even then. My wing was returning home, when we found the Aerie had been attacked while we were away. Several nests full of gryphon eggs were smashed wide open. Like that." I slammed my talons onto the table for effect.
"The enemy troops were retreating, we killed a few, but most of them got away clean. We wanted to go after them, but the Wing Leader ordered us to stand down. A few days later, we flew again, but this time, we got them. They had been using some caves to get behind our lines. A large column had travelled through, and they were stuck in the canyon. We got the orders to destroy the column. We massacred them in place. They had no place to run and we made run after run on them, dropping fire, rock, and wood. When it was over, we went through and killed the few that still survived. I came across one who had been pinned by a rock. He surrendered to me, but I pretended not to understand him. I smashed his head in with a rock. Was that justice or injustice?" I drank some more.
"I think I'm going to be sick," Seraph said.

"yes gregory that would be nice to explain too, but lets talk together, so we can all hear it "

"I c'n be whatever you want, baby," Croak smirked and chuckled. "I guess I shoulda given you the heads up that I'm a morpher, and c'n turn into a buncha amphibious things. Some day, I might even be able to turn into cooler stuff, but that's about it for now."

I was startled by croak in more ways than one, i had thought he was timid but he just called me "baby."

OOC: Seraph isn't that quesy, lol. I'll take it from here.

Seraph took a deep breath.

"Revenge is just. He showed no mercy to the Aerie. Therefore, he deserves none in return." He took a long swallow of his latest drink. There were five empty mugs on the table already.

"If you don't mind, Ma'Lar, I came here to get away for a while. If you would, please gather everyone at the inn where you have procured rooms. I will be there shortly to address the group. If there is anything that needs my immediate attention, I'll be here."

Despite his obvious intoxication, his manner was still very curt and professional. He nodded to the gryphon and drained his mug. Knocking it on the table in fron of him, he motioned a barmaid over and plucked a seventh drink off of her tray, slipping her another gold coin from his pouch.

(Too bad, I was kind of looking forward to Thaden & Seraph returning to the inn drunk as skunks. I suppose that means it will just have to be Thaden.)

OOC: apparently so--Seraph isn't one for drinking games and barsongs anyway

Valin Norovir:

I walked into the Copper Dragon, as I knew one of the men in the guild there. However, like all things, nothing is easy, especially gaining access to things you want front Thieves' Guilds. They make you do things to see if they can trust you first.

So, like I was saying, I walked into the Copper Dragon, and someone in the back threw a knife at my head. I caught it an inch from my face, and threw it back, into the dartboard on the bullseye.
"Anyone else while I'm here?" I asked. No one answered.

I walked up to the bar, and said to the bartender. "FireAle. Make it a double," and sat down, procuring a deck of cards.

we finally walked into the inn, alex and I were still covered in the strange mud croak had thrown at us; Alex draped over my shoulder took him up to his room and layed him down on his bed along with a note telling him what happened and were we would be. I left the room went outside collected his armor, and then I deposited next to his sleeping form shutting the door and walking off to my room to wash off.

OOC: Dargquon, periods and commas, periods and commas...

Croak was left with Lireal.

"So... what's goin' on?" he asked casually.
