The Elder Scrolls: Tales of the Nerevarine

"Well then...It seems it's only me."

"Anyway, how's the ride was?" He asked.

"Surprisingly dry," the zebra commented.

"Do you just assume I'm going to take every opportunity to kill her? I can't stand to be around her, but I won't try to kill her." Dalamus told Chrystyna.
"Especially when the Nord is around."

"Did you expect him to throw you overboard or something?"

"Not really, I was more worried about the boat sinking."

"That's good to know. We'll see how that goes."

"Good." Dalamus said as he pushed the boat off shore.
"Are you still worried I'll throw you overboard?"

Ari smiled, "Its a good thing I mastered the art of Zebra backpacking! Just in case they get in trouble again."

"I wasn't worried about that, but the zebra seemed important to the god of madness."

"Even though you're the one with the supposedly magical fork?"

"Yes, but I wasn't the one plucked from elsewhere and brought back to the group... plus a frilly dress."

(Luck 9)

Once again, nothing happened as the small boat crossed the water.

Dalamus brings the boat on to the shore and steps out of the boat.

"Ready to go and do some crazy stuff, whenever you are." Aldarilar said to no one in particular.

"Great, let's get this over with," Nakuma grumbled and started walking and looking for the large mushroom tree she saw from the other island. [3]

"I agree with you for once, Zebra." Dalamus said as he began to follow Nakuma.

Aldarilar followed the rest of group.

Nakuma saw a small path leading around the hill. There were several shiny rocks along the path.

Nakuma grinned and walked down the path to the first shiny rock and picked it up to get a closer look. [1]

[Combat (12) Dam (6 AP)] As Nakuma lifted up the "rock" and held it to her face, a claw appeard from it and snapped onto her nose. It was not a rock at all, it was a baby mudcrab!

[Combat (4)] Nakuma squealed and fell back while flailing her hooves pointlessly in front of her face to try hitting the crab.

The crab let go and scuttled off into the ocean.

"Owwwwww," Nakuma groaned and rubbed her nose before standing up and continuing down the path, completely ignoring the other 'rocks'.

"Need some healing?" Aldarilar offered.

"It's just a pinch," she groaned. "I'll be fine."

Dalamus shook his head and proceeded to walk down the path.

Nakuma followed him while still rubbing at her sore nose.

Aldarilar followed group.

As the group rounded the corner, they found a small village at the base of the large mushroom-tree. There were several small buildings gathered around the town square, and an assortment of ponies wandered around the town, going about their business.

"Alright, we're finally here," the zebra commented happily. "Let's go poke things with that fork and get out of here."

"Agreed." Dalamus said.
"So... How do we go about starting all this?"

"Didn't that crazy guy say something about using the fork on their food?" Nakuma asked and continued toward town.

The townsfolk noticed the group, and seemed to shy away from them, unsure of what to think of the outsiders.

"I think so." Dalamus said.
"He also said something about plates barking. So I'm starting to question what worshipping a mad god does to your sanity."

Dalamus looked at the townsfolk.
"Looks like they don't like us here."

"I wonder why that could be," she quipped and gestured to their odd coloring.

"Perhaps they can smell the crazy on us?"

"Or just new visitors aren't too often here can be seen."

"One way to find out."
Dalamus said before turning his attention to some townsfolk.
"Where can we get something to eat?!"

"Eat? My dear children, you must come inside," an older mare said, beckoning them to enter her home.

Dalamus turned to the others. "That was easy." He said, slightly surprised, before following the older mare.

"I have a bad feeling about this.." Aldarilar muttered as he followed Dalamus.

"How can you have a bad feeling about free food?" Nakuma asked him and eagerly went inside.

"It's free, for starters."

"And that's... bad?" she asked with confusion.

"Forget it." Have waved with his hoof.

Inside, the old redguard mare had set a table full of food. "Eat up my little crackers. Oh it has been lonely around since my hubby was banished."

"Thank you kindly," Nakuma quickly stated and started snapping up food ravenously.

Dalamus ate some of the food on the table before turning his attention back to the old mare.
"Your husband was banished?" He asked.

"Oh yes dearie. He was sent away for worshiping Sheogorath. And for ranting and raving about some lake monstah."
