“ I say we gather what supplies we can get here in town, then head off. The longer we wait, the less children we will bring back.” He says with urgency 

Aregarak turns and looks at Boo then lets out a boisterous laugh "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" and claps her on the back, when his mirth has subsided he turns to the rest of them and in a very serious tone says "My job is to protect the caravan...." he looks around at everyone assembled "but it seems that some sneaky kobolds have nicked off with some of our stuff!" he winks at the caravan driver "so I guess you're stuck with me for now!" he smiles and continues to laugh.

"Worthless!"  GB says as he sits in the dirt again.

"GB need so supplies, GB only needs to refill his wine skin.  Old Cleric! Where is a tavern that GB may replenish these?"

GB hold up his empty wine skins.

Looks to GB who is complainng about his wine skin. "May I have that red thing back now?" looking over at Boo and sensing she is having an interesting conversation with the dog but also that she is frustrated that the dog has taken a liking to her. "Boo, you may have the ability to speak to him but I feel his true nature and spirit. He will join our group and help us and be completely loyal and guarding of us both" she reaches down and rubs the dogs neck. "He will leave his own master for me and communicate with you I sense it makes him happy to speak with you" Lanea smiles at Boo

Boo looks at Lanea, "it's not a big deal, I am more a cat person anyway," she turns and sticks her tongue out at the dog... "besides I don't need any more pets I got Primrose!"

A tiny scream seems to echo, a shrill voice coming from the empty air nearby for all to hear, "Boo that is a horrid thing to say... you are a thoughtless little feral beast... I am NOT a pet if anything you are my pet! Carrying on like about things better left unsaid, any way you promised you would never bring up the... besides I told you that thing was cursed... you did throw it away like I told you right? Anway your friend Beril is right, we have children to rescue, we should not delay..."

Primrose appears in all her glory and lands on Lanea's shoulder, "if you ask me the dog is getting the better end of this deal."

Lanea looks a little taken back at Primrose but them giggles "Now, now lets all be nice. But I agree that we should prepare to rescue these children"

"Whoa-ho! look at that......perhaps Boo ISN'T touched after all!" Aregarak chuckles.

He gets close to Primrose so he can see her (like almost nose to pixie) "Look at you little one! So you are the one who keeps her in line then?" he smiles at the diminutive one.

Lenlieth rolls her eyes and mutters under her breath, "pixies." 

Boo laughs hysterically, as Primrose flies off the handle, "oh you horrid big-footed hateful creatures... I AM A SPRITE!!!" And vanishes once again from sight.

The albino Tiefling shrugs, "she is such a drama queen... totally hates it when people call her a pixie."

Aregarak snorts as Primrose disappears "Well...I suppose that's that then eh?  Shall we find these children then?" 

//the pixie thing is probably my fault - I was trying to remember what Primrose was my bad//

//no worries its all in fun... role play it... ;) but you were not alone lol which made it even funnier... at least Boo thought so//

"Ah...sorry, Primrose..." Lenlieth spoke to the air. "I was distracted by this glowing orb here. My humblest apologies...?"

Primrose reappears... "you should apologize," Primrose flits about in front of Lenlieth wagging her finger, "Pixies are fat, lazy and stupid fairies.. not like Sprites at all... Boo and I had this one Pixie friend named Panzy and she was so horrid, so greedy and selfish... always me, me, me... and the worst thing is she would always steal my share of the cheese... isn't that just the worst?" 

Boo snaps her finger, "Ok Primrose they get the picture... give poor old Panzy a break, we got to get moving and help those children... I made a promise!"

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Lenlieth bowed in a gesture of respect. "I fully agree with your assessment," she assured the sprite. "And I'm sorry about your cheese."

Lanea smiles softly at all the comments and gestures "We should get moving soon though." Looks over at GB waiting for him to return the red orb.

The dog begins to bark, and head towards the edge of town, headed west towards a group of large hills, some which might be able to be called mountains. You all can hear the dog sniffing, as if it is following a trail that only it can find. As the dog begins to walk off the old priest says, "Thank you all so much. I, and all of the clerics, will be praying on your behalf. May your path be blessed and may you find our children unharmed." He turns and begins to walk back towards the temple.

//I'm going to assume that by popular vote you were wanting to have the dog lead you to the children?//

Quote from Awaypturwpn >>

Lenlieth approaches the group, having found nothing of interest on the dead Kobolds. 

Seeing the glowing orb, she asks the others, "What have you got there?"

History (to see if she knows anything about this artifact from her studies): 22

Boo walks behind the dog talking to it, "way to ham it up... all that sniffing I thought you knew the way... you are not fooling me, I for one know what cat pee smells like." She turns to Aregarak, "by the gods of farts and B.O., I so hate walking... especially behind the business end of a dog that's never once smelled dragon before... are we there yet?"

//heading out to rescue the children is good... a few donated healing potions would have been nice but Boo is not one to beg for more than Aregarak's share of the cheese//

BG rolls the orb on the ground to Lenleith.

"GB done with fool thing."

After a few beats he springs up and brushes the dirt from him lazily.  

"Now about that wine location, GB requires it to kill kobolds."
