Stolen Child

Where dips the rocky highland
Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water-rats;
There we've hid our faery vats,
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen chetries.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's morefull of weeping than you
can understand.

Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim grey sands with light,
Far off by furthest Rosses
We foot it all the night,
Weaving olden dances,
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles,
While the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in its sleep.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's morefully of weeping than you
can understand.

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,.
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To to waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For to world's morefully of weeping than you
can understand.

Away with us he's going,
The solemn-eyed:
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast,
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal-chest.
For be comes, the human child,
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
from a world more full of weeping than you.

Poem by William Butler Yeats

Yeah, I just need replies from one more person and the ambition to actully type up everyone's character sheets.

And a touch of help from Brett who has agreed to write up equipment for everyone as I was about to beat my head on the DM handbook trying to find rules for making swords and stuff.

[OG Loc]

I would kind of like to be an Elf Ranger.

Well, now we need a fourth player too... as Stal dropped out... so we need someone willing to play a character that compliments the party...

[Kiddo]

“Really, it was all the elf’s fault. When he heard that the tavern Mimian was struggling to keep open was about to be bought by someone else, he had to step in. So the four of them – yeah, that group of pointy ears over there – come back with a bunch of treasure, something about a dragon, and bought the place. Then Mimian gets all weepy, her son trots in and asks if the pointy-ear and his sisters are going to stay, and that about sealed things.”

The man is talking rather loudly in the center of the tavern, occasionally making sweeping gestures in the direction of your table. This story has been retold across town at least twice a day now since you sold most of your treasure and purchased the deed to the struggling tavern, turning right around and giving it back to the woman who was trying to make ends meet on her own since her husband left two years ago. Maybe it wouldn’t be so funny if not for Mimian’s son – Bronos – who for some reason assumed that since Rolanan was traveling with a bunch of females that meant they were all his sisters.

It’s been two weeks now since you hung up your swords and bows in this forest-bordering village. It’s a good stopping point for merchants, but not much more. The main appeal is Mimian, who sheltered you from a rather belligerent necromancer and forgave the damage you inflicted on her building when he made a call in person. Bronos is a bit of an attachment too. He’s a cute kid, six years old, small and curious about everything. Although, in the past week, he’s been a right pain in the rear. Always asking questions. Pestering Azuriel’s hawk companion. Trying to lift the sword off the wall. Asking if Rolanan is going to be his new dad. And still calling the three girls Rolanan’s sisters, failing to note the difference in species between the four companions.

Tonight, however, he’s a bit different. Just sitting in the corner, near the door leading to the kitchen and then into the backyard. Maybe he’s worn himself out.

The man in the center is still talking. Something about the necromancer now. He’s getting all the facts wrong too.

"Sir, if you're going to tell a story, tell it correctly. In fact, I'd appreciate it better if you'd let someone who knew what a necromancer was... tell the story, yo?"

[Kiddo]

The man stops in mid-sentance, flustered. He steps backwards a couple paces and looks rather put-out.

"Well, sir elf, if you think you can tell the story better, feel free. After all, you were in the thick of the fighting and partly responsible for the damage that almost made Mimian lose her tavern."

There's the sound of someone slamming something down in the kitchen. Apparently she heard the conversation taking place in the common room.

Skaa brushes a stray strand of dark hair out of her eyes, mumbling, "As if I need to hear about a battle I fought in."

"Of course you do, doesn't it feel great to know that, we're great and everyone else isn't?"
