[Male Shadow Elven Wizard Skan Rashkae]
[Skan Rashkae]: Did I miss much? Nice ship. Dry docked? Or is it an airship?

: Tobias and I were arguing again, so don't be totally surprised if somebody tries to lay siege/burn down the shop later... (You never know).
[Sharp]: "Ah yes, hello Skan... Oh that."
*here Sharp lights up with *
"It is both; that is how would one say,- a 'drydocked airship'."
*Does a .*
"Would you like to take lodging with us? Our previous tenant left a long time ago, and the rent really isn't very much."

*Starts to give a tour*
"Everything in this shop, you will find- can be accessed via well hidden trapdoors: that includes lofts/studio apartments... since it was a fort built into an ancient, gnarled and I daresay fire resistant tree. You will find my workshop... over here. It is the turf-hut in back on the first floor."

*Asks Anole to please continue the tour with the second floor (since that is mostly his territory) and that he will meet them again later on the third floor study.*
: ?

[Anole] finishes the tour that Sharp started*

: Thanks. *Attempts to finish putting out fires started by having my NPC be part of a Fullmetal Alchemist spoof* ... Ecg and Arc... gave people a headache, etc. Oops.

: Oops, I forgot to tie these two thoughts together, still early in the morning, but if I don't act fast I might very well get banned from h2g2... by h2g2 ... that was my Magician's Guild character I was referring to. -

: I think Nerd42 & Tobias'd calm down/ [if]... they had said the quest really wasn't going so well pace-wise and could kinda really use a warrior (or two... or 3). <- Also, this is kinda a >Hint< .

Sure I get the hint</>

Should I follow his example?

: Thank you! + a *sigh of relief* , etc. ^_^;

A sign up on the far wall says "Seaweed Gargle: It'll cure what aills you."
There is a bowl full of green and leafy powdered jerky-like stuff on a small round table on a three legged stand nearby it.

A path to the back of the shop,- where Sharp's workshop is located,- has now been opened by moving the pile of siorganized clutter that had been blocking it before.

: Stupid typo. I had meant 'disorganized'. Oops.

True, oops</>

Yeah, the quest ISN'T going so well, pace-wise. I was hoping we'd be at least over the mountains months ago
Nerd42

Oh well. Live and learn.</>

: And there is also the matter of that lake, for later,- yes?

The sign by the seaweed gargle has now been adjusted so as to read "it'll cure what ales you" so that the play on words can be made more apparent.

[Anole]*an explosion erupts from the second floor, and Anole falls out the window*
Remind me to never mix those to herbs together again.

[Sharp]: "Okay,- I will. We should right it down on the wall poster in the hallway, partway up the spiral stair."

*Looks at the light coming down from the hole in the wall,- bits of dust clearing lazily from the bit of a smash through the floor.*

"We'll have to get the boards and nails ready; Looks like I might be needing to hire that dwarven carpenter again."

*Fiddles with an abacus and jots down a guess at the repair cost using a quill-pen*

"Carry the one and... aha,- there we go. No matter, could kind of use a sun-roof for the time being. [Are] You alright?"
