Hey guys! That was a crazy feast. All that was missing was some good alcohol, but those tapirs really know how to throw a party.

Anyway, I was thinking and we don't really know much about this place or what's outside the town. Since we'll need to start heading into the forests for hunting and gathering other resources, was thinking of heading out to check it out. Plus aren't these fae things our neighbors now? Or I guess we're their new neighbors...? Can't hurt to see what's there.

There are also those redcaps we need to deal with if we want any iron. I'm not sure about anyone else, but as a swordsman I definitely have a vested interest in that.

...And maybe I want to see how tough they are, haha.




Yeah, okay, I just want to see what kind of tough monsters are out there, heh. Not that I want to make enemies out of allies, but never hurts to know what kind of threats there are, right? Who knows, we might be helping them out, too.

[No, he just wants to find the biggest and strongest thing there is and fight it.]

Speaking of, if anyone needs a sparring partner, I'm your daemon. I'm curious to see how my skills stack up against those from different worlds.

[ooc: everyone can threadjack and thread with each other to share or discuss any other ideas! I also have an OOC planning post of sorts for players to chime in with suggestions.]

You had me at heading into the forest, everything else after was just bonus detail! So, let's meet our neighbors and kick some redcap butt!

Also, dibs on any treasure.

[rokubro]

Hah, I don't really mind, but are you a treasure hunter or something?

[tantailizing]

Hey, gotta spend your downtime doing something, right?

[rokubro]

That's one way to do it. But if you find any swords, I'd like to at least see them.

[tantailizing]

Sure, I don't use swords anyway.

[rokubro]

Oh yeah? What do you use?

[tantailizing]

I prefer daggers.

[rokubro]

Aaah, those are fine blades as well. Single or dual?

[tantailizing]

Both styles, but I like to go dual. And then connecting them.

[rokubro]

Connecting them?

[tantailizing]

Yup. I'd tell you more, but I'll save that surprise for later.

[rokubro]

Haha, fair enough. I'm definitely interested.

[tantailizing]

Awesome.

Alright, so, what time are we leaving?

[rokubro]

It'll be a few days so I can gather some info and supplies, but probably by the end of the week and in the morning. I'll send another message out when it's close.

[tantailizing]

Sounds good. I'll see what info I can dig up, and cover a few supplies. I'm sure most people answering back have an idea what to bring, but I'll make sure we're covered.

[rokubro]

Appreciated. Been a while since I've worked with a group so I won't refuse any help.

[tantailizing]

Oh yeah? When did you last work with people?

[rokubro]

Hm, how long ago was it? A few months, maybe?

Didn't really keep track of time.
