Tem was getting tired of waiting for Horin, so he grabbed Acedia, and moved her wings faster and carried her to Horin. He set her down gently and made her think a big wind carried her there.<Deus Ex Machina, how I lech thee...

{ Sorreh! O_O this weird thing called 'high school' keeps getting in the way. I'll get back into the rhythm soon enough. XD two-week breaks do that to ya. }

Acedia landed on Horin's head, making a graceful™ leap to his shoulder and then the ground, shifting as she did so and pulling the medallion over her head again. "Sehran. Heart attack. Need your help. Take my medallion and fly there, I'll stay here." She held the medallion out to him. "You'll know how to fly; it's part of the spell."

In all honesty she really hated seeing anyone in pain of any kind, and would rather wait until the old elf had recovered before going back to the house. They wouldn't be able to go anywhere until then, anyway. Plus, with Horin off helping Sehran, Eruantian would be all alone, which is very sad. So Acedia was selflessly volunteering to stay and keep him company. Or something. o_o Anything to justify not going back there for a little while.

<OOC> So Eruantian spent his entire time of residence in Targos somewhat depressed by the fact that he was the only half-elf in town yet was totally oblivious to the presence of an entire family of half-elves that were practicly neighbors to him? My character's backstory is showing signs of serious conflict with recent developments in this plotline. Since we can't erase the half-elf family from the story, can anyone think of a good excuse for Eruantian's ignorance? </OOC>

<GM's NOTE: Yeah, I can.
First off, let's say the townsfolk all considered Sehran's clan to be Elves, merely because they all have pointed ears. Pointed ears means elves as far as they knew, you see. They just assumed that Sehran himself was a little taller and thiner because he was so old. Eruntian never met the Talismongers before now because of two reasons:
1) He never had need (or rather, never KNEW he had need) of a Talismonger, and so never visited the Talismonger's shop.
2) Whenever he did happen to see one of Sehran's decedents, he would ask what that person's race was, and the townsfolk would say "Elven" because that's what they thought they were.
Because Eruntian was himself unsure of his own racial makeup, he accepted that perhaps these people were actually Elves and not Half-elves becasue he had nothing else to compare all this to. Since Sehran is the only full-blooded Elf who resides full-time in Targos, until Eruntian met Prince Drek and Captain Sealem then Eruntian had never seen an Elf that wasn't as old as Sehran is. Thus, It was only recently that Eruntian had a clear picture of the differences between Elf and Half-Elf.

There, how's that for a retcon?>

<OOC>Works for me.

"B-br-broken th-this whole t-t-time" chattered Eruantian "I c-c-can't b-b-b-believe m-my ring... ah... ahc... ACHOO!!!
*sniff* T-t-t-twent-t-ty years of m-m-my life b-b-be-bec-c-cause of a m-m-malfunction."

Horin slipped on the medallion, and suddenly everything seemed larger, and less colorful... "Just fly she said." And took off, flying as fast as he could, hoping that no hunter would shoot him down, as his red feathers made him stand out against the blue sky...
He landed shortly thereafter, when he saw someone he recognized inside on of the houses...

<OOC> Okay then, here we go... </OOC>

Horin pulled off the pendant, and turned back into himself again. "That was strange." And walked inside. "What's going on, Acedia didn't say much, all I heard was so and so needs help, put this on and fly to them."

Sarge · **Posted:** Thu Jan 11, 2007 5:57 pm

Maxwell said: "Sehran's had a heart attack. The Herbalist gave him some medicine already, but he could probably do with some of your healing magic. Please, have a look and see what you can do, Horin."

Droideka · **Posted:** Thu Jan 11, 2007 7:14 pm

Horin combed his fingers through his beard. "Aye, I'll take a look, heart attack you say?" Horin walked over, thinking about what he remember about heart attacks..."Ah, not to major, or so it looks, he'll be fine in a bit, with my magic." Horin cast the spell for minor wound healing onto the old elf.

Sarge · **Posted:** Thu Jan 11, 2007 8:09 pm

Sehran briefly glowed as the magic did it's work, and his eyes fluttered open. "What... what happened?" he managed to say.

Farnham said: "Easy now, Sehran. Your heart gave out. Just lie still, you're gonna be alright. This is Horin Hamerhand, a healer we know. He's using his healing magic."

IantheGecko · **Posted:** Thu Jan 11, 2007 8:22 pm

Marcus stood and watched as Sehran glowed such a pretty color.

"Oooooo....", he said.

Droideka · **Posted:** Thu Jan 11, 2007 11:56 pm

Horin waited about twenty seconds and broke off the spell, feeling rather tired, and somewhat dizzy. "He'll be fine." And then he sat down on the floor. "Could someone bring me some tea?"

Sarge · **Posted:** Fri Jan 12, 2007 12:20 am

Maxwell picked up the fallen teapot. "Sorry, looks like it all spilled on the floor. Here, take my cup, I'll go make some more Horin."

"Thank you." Horin grabbed the cup of tea from Maxwell, sipping at it to taste it, and took a good sized gulp from the cup. "That is good tea." Horin pulled the pendant from his pocket and said "This is an interesting device, startled me when a bird came for me and landed on my shoulder."

{ I hate homework. I really do. }

Acedia poked her head into the tent where Eruantian still was. "Hello, Eruantian," she said softly, so as not to startle the troubled half-elf.

Taryn had quietly drifted off to the side, taking her familiar role as an observer and blending into the scenery. Literally. Sometimes she zoned out so much that her very body and being became incorporeal and intangible, resulting in an image that looked like Taryn, except it was very transparent - hardly visible at times - and one could not touch it. Attempting to do so usually resulted in severe burns. This was the state she was in right now, just off in her own little world.

Glen shishman came out of the woodwork (as buhubs was absent from the forums from summer and most of fall) and came crashing down, he said "ow, think I got a splinter, this hurts and pains me more than me mother's mournin' of her sister", he walked over to a nearby hut as he was put back on his tax duty once again hoping that someone would come to the door, as he was not in any mood to be stalled over.

The Drow promptly disappeared. Tem was left with the feeling that this had been a ruse of some sort.

A large burly man holding a pitchfork answered the door. "What do you want?" he said.

buhubs · **Posted:** Fri Jan 12, 2007 7:24 pm

"I've come for your tax-payments, it is my duty since I am a tax-collector. Now can you please put down the pitchfork?" said Glen, looking upon the burly man's face. Hoping that he would still have internal organs when he left the door.

"I've been greeted in stranger ways," she said with a shrug. "How are you doing at the moment, though?" You'd think that's an obvious question, but, you never know.

The burly man said: "Taxes eh? Yeah, I knows you. You is da tax man, alright. But come on, give me a break will ya? It's gonna be a rough year for me, on account a that army of Orcs what trampled my wheat fields. Its too late in the year for me to re-plant, so I ain't gonna have no harvest this year, ya see? I'll probably have to sell some land just to cover my debts. Why don't ya go collect some taxes from dem Orcs, huh? Dey's da one's what wrecked my farm. Burnt down da barn and da farmhouse and da grain silo. I had to flee to Targos and rent this here hut. Me and da family is always been loyal and paid our taxes on time. All I'm asking is that you gimme a break on my taxes this year. Come on, you knows I'm a hard worker. Whadda ya say, pal?" The pitchfork went back into the hut with a 'clang' as he leaned it up against one wall.

Glen looked at the notes on this person, and it seemed that his story checked out. Long-time farmer, owns fields that were the same ones that the Orcs recently occupied, no previous record of being late with the taxes... hrmmm what to do?

Meanwhile, Sehran was feeling a lot better. He sat up and said: "Oh, most wonderous, the healing magic. I am in your debt, Mister Horin. Here, please accept this as payment for your services." Sehran reached into the folds of his cloak and pulled out four gold coins. "And please, stay for tea. Now, someone find that crystal ball of mine. I've got a call to complete"
Emily stepped in then and said: "Oh no. I'll not risk you having another heart attack and dying in my drawing room, healer or no healer. You're going straight to bed, and that's all there is to it. The Mage here can complete the call; you need to rest. Tell him, Mister Hammerhand, he's in no condition to be undertaking strenuous mental activity so soon after a heart attack, am I right?"
