Bacon Zorp: (N/A) You approach the kobold, ignoring the wild wisp chase for now. He gets up, and dusts himself off as you approach.

Rzet: Are you okay?
There's a flash of light from the temple, and you hear
Priestess: Good gods, these things are tougher than normal wisps!

Cathari Sarad: (N/A)

Catharine: I think I know the answer to this, but do you want to say it or should I?
But before either of you could answer...
William: The answer is 1. I was going to World Nine.
As it seems, your fellow adventurer is now wearing plate armour when he wasn't before.
Sphinx: Correct! Next question- Feed me and I live, yet give me a drink and I die.

Black Mage Anolis: (4) You get up, and dust yourself off. A goblin breaks off from the wild wisp-hunting party and approaches you.

Rzet: Are you okay?
There's a flash of light from the temple, and you hear
Priestess: Good gods, these things are tougher than normal wisps!

capnrecked: (2)

Pol Pi: I'll take one lamp, and a box of matches please.
Gnome Lamp-seller: That's 6 gp, please.
-6 gp
ITEM GET!
Lamp Desc.: An ordinary lamp, for light.
Matches Desc.: A box full of matches, can be used to light matches.
You continue through the market, but cannot find anything that is snuffing out the lights.

Savaget 1337: (N/A) Oddly enough, one of your fellow adventurers seems to be a werewolf. She doesn't seem to mind.

Catharine: I think I know the answer to this, but do you want to say it or should I?
You decide to say it.
William: The answer is 1. I was going to World Nine.
The Sphinx seems to ignore the fact that you 'borrowed' some armour.
Sphinx: Correct! Next question- Feed me and I live, yet give me a drink and I die.

Black Mage Anolis: (4)

Anolis: I'm good.
You're already standing, so you decide to run after the wild wisp chase as fast as your kobold legs will you, and you eventually end up at the end of the little hunting party. One of the guards in the back falls over after one luckily-aimed wisp energy bolt and lands next to you.

Cathari Sarad: (N/A)

Catharine: I dunno. Could be a fire, but what do you guys think?
William: A fire!
Sphinx: Correct! Now for another one- The cleric has 4 daughters. Each of his daughters has a brother. How many children does the cleric have?
You hear something in the back of your mind, which sounds like knocking.

Savaget 1337: (N/A)

Catharine: I dunno. Could be a fire, but what do you guys think?

The jade owl begins hooting, as if in alarm.

capnrecked: (3) You grumble, and wander through the marketplace, trying to find a church.
Eventually, you come to the town square. In town square is a temple, that happens to have light practically pouring from it. You can hear sounds of fighting within.
You can also just in time to see a group of guards run off into another street, with a kobold on their tail.

Bacon Zorp: (1) Now, you are by the old church.

Rzet: Hello! Excuse me! Could you stop please?
The wisp does not verbally answer. Instead, it zaps you. Ouch.
Also, the guards do not seem as diplomatically-minded as you. The moment the wisp zaps you and flies away, they resume their chase.

Savaget 1337: (N/A)

William: Five?
Catharine: Five, ow! Who is that? What is that noise?
Sphinx: Correct! You, is something wrong?
The Sphinx turns to Catharine, while you check on the Jade Owl. It keeps on hooting, and is oddly warm to the touch.

Cathari Sarad: (N/A)

William: Five?
Catharine: Five, ow! Who is that? What is that noise?
Sphinx: Correct! You, is something wrong?
The Sphinx turns to you, and you hear muffled voice in the back of your head.
???: Hi! It's the moon spirit! Just checking in! You're one of my werewolves, right?

Black Mage Anolis: (4) You ask the guard

Anolis: Hey, you okay?
Guard: Fine...
Hearing that, you run and catch up to the rest of the hunt. After seeing the goblin zapped after a stint of failed diplomacy, the chase takes off again. You manage to concentrate enough to hurl an ray of frost at the wisp, which hits. The wisp still doesn't go down, even after getting peppered by arrows too.

capnrecked: (6) You run into the church, and cast a holy fire on everyone inside in the name of your god. Due to not being of a high enough level, the fire burns hot for only a short amount of time.
There were four guards, a priestess of different gods and three will-o-wisps inside. As the burn of holy fire alights, and then rises, the guards realize who had cast the spell, and turn to face you.
The holy fire of Pol Pot is different from other gods. These people mistake it for some other spell.

Bacon Zorp: (3) Right now, you are behind the church. A kobold runs to the front, and tries to slash at the wisp, succeeding, but accidentally cutting one of the guards' cheek. The wisps if flickering slowly. Again, you say

Rzet: You, please stop!
The wisp slows to a halt, before its glow changes to a reddish hue. Another wisp flies in from the cracks in the church's walls.

Cathari Sarad: (N/A)

Catharine: Hold on.
You walk back a bit, turn around and whisper into the ring.
Catharine: You tell me. I just got this thing from out of nowhere and I thought it looked pretty nifty. Did it belong to one of your guys or something?
Moon Spirit: Huh? Ohhhhh- the ring. No, all my guys have their rings... right?
You hear a faint clanking noise.

Savaget 1337: (N/A)

Catharine: Hold on.
Catharine walks back and turns around, and you face the Sphinx again.
William: Alright, Sphinx, what's the next riddle?
Sphinx: You have two ropes, that when alight with fire, will burn up completely in exactly one hour, but not at any constant rate. With these ropes, and a matchbox, can you measure out 45 minutes?

capnrecked: (4, 4)

Pol Pi: Dear me... what a grave misfire. Hopefully, I can make up for it.
Bringing up one hand, a bubble of holy water swells up. You then toss it at two of the wisps, splashing them. One of the wisps disperses in a small flash of light, while the other begins to flicker.
The guards turn their weapons from you to focus on the wisps again. One of them shoots you a nasty "I'm-not-forgetting-that" look, though.

Black Mage Anolis: (6) You are currently behind the church. You manage to take out one Ice Rune. You snap it in half, releasing its essence.
STATUS EFFECT: Cold Resistance
Then, you take out your knife and dash to the front of the hunting party. You jump up to the wisp's height, and slash at it. While it did damage it well, evidenced by the slow flickering, it is still good to fight. Worse, you accidentally cut a guard's cheek. The goblin tries again.

Rzet: You, please stop!
The wisp complies, but as it glows red, another wisp shows up and flies beside it.

Oh look, a ghost!

"Do they though?"

"Let me ask you this, how many werewolves do you have in your entourage, and of the werewolves you can contact via this charm, how many of them profess to be in your entourage? If the numbers don't match, then perhaps this ring belonged to one of the others. If they do match, then that makes things a bit more interesting. Alternatively, I might ask, does my possession of this ring therefore make me one of 'your werewolves' as you put it?"

>No, wait, that wasn't what it was supposed to do. It's supposed to be like a trap or a counter, not meant to add a resistance. If that were the case, why choose Ice? Then again, maybe I got a faulty Rune?

>Wait, an Ice Trap! That was it... Cast that on myself! And then take another swipe at the wisp with my knife!
