The Tower of the Green wizard

One Level done. Lots more to deal with

Victoria speaks to Mysha, Yusuf & the Snows "So's we all ain't baggage - who's ready to come up spades and mill these tools down?"

In a gruff tone, snow replies "I will do what I can, just see to it my meddling sister doesn't become a corpse. who is this wizard anyway? and where's all your muscle? all I see is spell chuckers and pick pockets with a sprinkling of able bodies" 

"With what we're goin' up against, that may be our best bet. Githyanki, Mind Flayers, wizards... another day in the life, right? I got two prime short swords here with especially keen blades, any of you ready and able with them?"

"no dice,though i appreciate the offer. can i take it that we at least have an understanding then? that whatever happens you've got my back and I've got yours? at least until the jobs done at which point i'll expect you'll make up your own damn mind on where we stand."

Meddling?   Who keeps you out of trouble?   

"it's nothing i can't handle!" snow harshly says addressing emma, "Victoria?"

"Perhaps you should be more careful in how you Speak to Victoria. She offered you folks weapons that you may need. You turned her down And speaking for 'able bodies' we're going to need all the help we can get." says the archer in a pleasantly aggressive tone..

calming down, johns tone returns to normal "duly noted,i'm just a little concerned here, just what are these things? " he says kicking a gyth.

"Githyanki." The mean looking dwarf with facial tattoos spits the word. "Servants of evil spawn who feed on the minds of finger wigglers." He says before pulling out a small pot and reaching into it with two fingers to scoop a disgusting smelling blue substance out which he then smears over the left side of his face and beard.

And now you are aware of what we are up against and not to mention Mind Flayers a potent Wizard and a senior Cleric and their minions. Now would you like to rephrase and recant your reply to Victoria?  Le'sha questions the newcomers.

(trying to play john out a little differently to how volky was, sort of abrasive but good at heart, just to give you guys an idea of the kind of person he is.) nervously scratching his head snow replies honestly, "the last time i landed myself in trouble emma got the pointy end of the situation,if we could work together i'd appreciate it and hopefully we can all leave on our feet. i apologize if i came off the wrong way.." 

"No problem," says Le'Sha. " I just want to be aware of what you have gotten into. And what we have to offer. We share everything danger and treasure. I only want you to respect Victoria and her lead. I trust her judgement."

"Apologies on my end as well," says Victoria. "I mistook you for Family , when you're carnies. So, who can use a magic short sword - I have two to offer... Frank, got any books or scrolls they can use? This one's a caster, but I'm not sure about this flashdancer here."

"No apologies necessary.   Merely a general misunderstanding.  Both my brother and I can cast.  He is much better than I am.  I am better at blades."  Emma twirls her short sword and long sword around.  "I thank you for use of your magical sword."
