Ever been to the underground mall in Hotlanta? (Atlanta) I used to love going to the Coca Cola museum. I thought it was funny that they had bathrooms in the basement where you can sample Coke from around the world.

Thanks for the smileys (smilies?) (I'm feeling quite parenthetical today and somewhat pathetical)

DragonMage, it doesn't have to be just you and me in this story. I thought that since I was posting in a clan thread, that others would jump in and assist in the story telling. You can go wherever you want. You know, mystical dragonmage places where dragons frolic and pick their teeth with trees and play "toss the cow".

I would make suggestions for a destination but they would require a bath house and a maseusse. (my spelling is crappy!!)

<font color=plum>~Having finished packing her backpack with various assortments of magical items, including underdrawers of unending cleanliness +7, DragonMage awakens yon napping dwarf~

"Wake, my furry friend. It's time we were away." DragonMage then leaves word at the front desk for her fellow HADB members:</font>

<font color=white>Dear clan members, my dwarven friend and I are off for a journey to the far forest in search of a magical tome. We will need it in the upcoming months and it will not be easy to find, so I set out now on this journey. It is guarded by the dread Boogre Bear. There are also various wonders to behold and dangers untold on this journey. You may catch up with us or, perhaps will just 'bump into' us along the way. I will get word back to you as I can via my raven, Gra'ak or my feline familiar, Garath. 'Til then, best regards - DragonMage</font>

(Don't forget that there will be unpleasant shadowthings almost everywhere since Avatar stole the Black Diamond Shard from me and by getting it too far from my magical aura has unleashed a legion of dread shadowcreatures.)

Lovely! Thanks a LOT, Avatar! (j/k http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif ) Anything else I should no of before I venture out to retrieve this book of magic?

...gesticulates briefly towards her cat familiar. Little kitty snacks suddenly appear and Garath gobbles them with much abandon. Hiram gestures towards the door and says “There are horses outside milady although I don’t trust the foul beasts. They are too blasted tall and love to crap on peace lovin dwarves.”

Dragonmage saunters by in her swooshy robes and Garath follows with a baleful glare at the dwarf. “Aye, you’ll be dinner sometime, little furball” Hiram grumbles to the feline. He then hears “Come along, Hiram” I don’t have all day. I’m sure those stubby little legs can move faster than that.”

Hours later, the pair of adven well on their way and traveling through the outskirts of a small village. Fire rings many of the huts and crying is heard. “I kin smell something evil, Lady DragonMage” Hiram said. Dragonmage shifted her volumnous robes and peered into a small scrying device. “ I see some…”

~The Mage of Dragons conjures moisture laden mist which moves throughout the village, settling on each fire until all are put out~ "Evil is not the half of it, Hiram. Let's see if anyone needs help and ask a few questions. Apparently, we are to be delayed a bit on our journey. And, please, Hiram - amongst ourselves, it's Breanna. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif"

~Breanna and Hiram approach some of the villagers who have emerged from their scorched huts~ "Pray, tell us what has befallen you. What were those shadowy creatures I sensed?" Hiram helps one unsteady farmer to an unscorched log. "I am Logan. These people look to me for leadership. These 'creatures'..."</font>

ooc: Love how you plucked Logan from the Wheel of Time series!!

ooc: Thought you'd like that. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif And Breanna is a celtic root of my name, so I like it, too. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Also Breandan is, too - but that's gender neutral (yuk! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif - nothing neutral about MY gender! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif )

LOL! But, seriously, I hope y'all don't get any MORE suspicious packages. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif Scary stuff, that. I'll check back later. Got WORK to do. (YUK!) http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

“…came upon our village last night. We could do very little to stop them. I tried touching the true source but could only destroy some of them. They left no trace. No bodies! Perhaps finding the black diamond shard could save us. Do you know Neb? He is the father of Gwen’s daughter. It was his aura that kept the evil diamond in check. If you could help us, I could provide you with some beano, because you are obviously gassy. At hearing his, Dragonmage smirked and Hiram apologized.

A young blonde woman stepped out of a still smoldering hut and stepped up to Dragon Mage and said “We must welcome our visitors, Logan! What are your names?” Dragonmage replied, “I am Breanna and this fumbling lackwit is my traveling companion, nothing more. Oh, his name is Hiram or something. We could use a place to rest for the night. Hiram, quit staring at Gwen’s rack and fetch my satchel. I have some research to do.

Gwen escorted the pair to a small and poorly lit hut. There are blankets on the ground and a jug of water. “We don’t have much but you are welcome here.” Gwen stepped to the doorway and said “May the Wolf of Azure Hue bless you. Pleasant Evening.”

Upon seeing the sad surroundings, Dragonmage summoned a…
