Host Bafii says:
Prologue:  The mythic adventure continues as the CSO and team make have reached a cave in the mountains near the village.  The Cave's entrance is just large enough for a dragon.

Host Bafii says:
Prologue:  Meanwhile, the CO and his team continue along the foot path to Valhalla, which they have almost reached.

Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Taliza says:
@::approaches entrance of cave::

CO_Loran says:
::walks behind Fulla::

Freyja says:
<Fulla>CO: There, just beyond those trees is the greatest of all the Gods. I bid you farewell.

CMO_Madson says:
::Walking along quietly, deep in thought::

XO_McDuggle says:
::Brings up the rear of the group::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Is taking point, his dagger bound to his hand, and his hands still bound up, the pained lessened to a slight dull sensation::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Reaches the mouth of the cave, alongside the CSO::

CO_Loran says:
::nods to Fulla::  Fulla:  Thank you for showing us the way.

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION: There are wretched smells coming from the inside of the cave.

Freyja says:
#::looks towards the door of her chamber longingly::

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: Whew!  Something is stinking up the joint in there.

OPS_Srelak says:
::walking along::

CO_Loran says:
All:  Lets head on to Odin.

CO_Loran says:
::moves in the direction that Fulla pointed out::

Freyja says:
<Fulla>::nods and smiles before turning back upon the path::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::takes a bit of cloth and wraps it around his nose and mouth to mask the odors::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Nods:: CSO: I can almost smell it over your scent... ::Smiles and chides the CSO::

CMO_Madson says:
::Looks up at the captain::  CO:  I hope he listens to you.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: You're no bed of roses either.

Freyja says:
#::enters her chamber excitedly and moves to the bed:: CIV: You have awakened my love.

XO_McDuggle says:
::watches Fulla return to Folkvang and follows the others towards Valhalla::

CTO_Williams says:
@:: Holds his dagger up, and walks up to the side of the edge of the cave, and motions for the team to follow him in ::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::goes to the wall opposite the CTO::

CO_Loran says:
CMO:  I wouldn't exactly say that he will listen to me.  I'm hoping he will hear me out and take my words into consideration and I hope that he will return ALL of us to our own time and reality.

Freyja says:
#::sits on the side of the bed and smiles lovingly at the CIV::

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Hello.  So....do we eat breakfast here?

CTO_Williams says:
@ ::Slowly walks in, allowing his eyes to adjust to the darkness::

CMO_Madson says:
::Nods her head at the captain::  CO:  But he said something about bringing our case to Loki?  I trust him even less.

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION: Strangely, just feet from the entrance, the cave becomes quite dark, so dark that the team can barely see what is in front of them.

Freyja says:
#::snaps her fingers:: CIV: What do you desire my love? I shall grant all your requests eagerly.

CO_Loran says:
CMO:  Well, Loki is know to be the trickster of these gods.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Patton, you have better night eyes.  Can you lead us in?

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The team starts to pass through a small growth of trees.

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  Obviously.  I find nothing humorous about this, myself!

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Wow.  How about pancakes? Cherry pancakes?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Unties his dagger, and sheathes it.  He draws his bow, and allows the FCO to take the lead::

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: Sure I guess.

CMO_Madson says:
::Pushes a branch out of the way::

Freyja says:
#<Hildesvini>::enters the room with a large plate filled with cherry pancakes and places on Scott's lap::

Freyja says:
#CIV: Does this meet with your approval?

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Can you pick up any familiar scents as well?  Like any from the crew?

CO_Loran says:
::walks through the trees, hoping they don't get lost::

CMO_Madson says:
::Tries to keep an eye on the captain and McDuggle::

Freyja says:
#::takes a fork and slices off a small section of the stack and feeds it to Scott::

CIV_Madson says:
#::takes a taste:: Freyja: My god.  This tastes just like home....

CTO_Williams says:
@::Tries his best to follow along behind the FCO, arrow on string::

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: Well, I don't see much, but the cave turns 20 meters ahead or so, as for smell, there's a nasty stench so I'm trying not to smell anything.

XO_McDuggle says:
::moves through the trees keeping the CO and CMO in sight::

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: How good are you as a bloodhound?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Whispers:: FCO: Lead the way, we'll cover you.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Tell me of your experiences in this realm.

Freyja says:
#CIV: I can offer you many such things. ::moves closer::

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Can I see all of my friends?

CMO_Madson says:
::Ducks under a branch. Looks at McDuggle, eager to hear of any news of any of the crew, especially Scott::

Freyja says:
#CIV: Come, I shall show you your friends. ::holds out her hand for him to take::

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: When I start walking on all 4 I'll call you Tal.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: It's either Taliza, Cal or commander.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: There is not much to tell. Once we were delivered to Freyja we were left to our own for the most part.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  As the team comes out of the woods, a large wall looms in front of them.  In it there is a single door, large enough for an army to issue from.  The door is wooden with golden accents.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::shrugs in the dark::

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Other that annoying Freyja I didn't find much else.

CSO_Taliza says:
@Self: What I wouldn't give for a torch right now.

CIV_Madson says:
#::gives Freyja his hand::

CO_Loran says:
ALL:  Ah, finally.  ::walks up to the door::

Freyja says:
#::stops in front of a large fountain with a waterfall cascading into a pool below. She waves her hand over the clear water:: CIV: There, behold!

CMO_Madson says:
::Looks at the huge door and wonders how to get it open::

XO_McDuggle says:
::Sees the door:: CO : Shall we knock?

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION:  Slowly, the team comes to the bend in the cave.  However, it isn't really a bend but a fork.

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: No, I want to see them again.  In person.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: You guys think it would help if I made a quick wish?

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Down there.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  Be my guest.

CMO_Madson says:
XO:  Go ahead and try.  ::Starts looking for a doorknob::

Freyja says:
#CIV: Concentrate on whom you wish to see and they will appear.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO/CTO: Oh.. It's not really a bend, but a fork and we're there.

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  You might try shouting...that worked last time.

XO_McDuggle says:
::walks up to the door and pounds on it:: CO : There lets see if that works.

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Why can't we visit them?

CSO_Taliza says:
@Aloud: I wish we had some torches!

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The door slowly opens, a loud creaking sound ringing out across the valley.

CO_Loran says:
XO:  It seems you have been answered.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: After you Sir.

CMO_Madson says:
CO/XO:  You first.

CO_Loran says:
::waits for the door to open enough so they can walk through it and goes inside::

Freyja says:
#CIV: They are the Odin's domain now. He will deal with them. You are to stay here with me forever.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: So, how do you guys want to approach this?

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: I thought you said I could have anything?

XO_McDuggle says:
::follows the Captain in::

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO/FCO:  I think the logical thing to do is to keep making right turns.

CMO_Madson says:
::Looks in and around first and then goes in, letting OPS take the back::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The team enters what looks to be a luxurious hallway of a large castle.  There are tapestries on the walls depicting various battles and the floor is tiled with something that looks like it might be gold.  Torches hang on the walls giving a dim illumination to the hall.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Can you smell anything from each cave?

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO/FCO: As Vulcans would say, Logic dictates we will eventually find the end of a maze if we continually turn in the same direction.

Freyja says:
#CIV: Anything that it is within my power to grant you my love. I serve Odin and he must deal with the others.

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Why is he dealing with my friends?

Freyja says:
#CIV: He is Odin. Do not question me further on that.

CO_Loran says:
::looks around at the craftsmanship of this place, but continues to walk to the end of the hallway::  All.  Nice digs.

CMO_Madson says:
::Wanders over to the tapestries and looks at the battle scenes carefully::

XO_McDuggle says:
::looks around:: CO: Very nice Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: You think we'd be better if we split up or if we stay together?

CMO_Madson says:
Self:  Bet the peasants don't live so well...

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: There is another door at the end of the hallway.  A bit smaller, but still humongous.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: Well that nasty smell is coming from the left, even you two should be able to smell that, bah.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: That settles it.  We go left.

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Looks like we head that way.:: points to door::

CMO_Madson says:
::Moves away from the wall hanging and spots the door, moving to it::  CO:  Sir, should we go in?

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO: Stay together.... definitely.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Lead the way to the left.

CO_Loran says:
All:  I think we should knock again.  At least be respectful.

CMO_Madson says:
::Knocks on the door and waits::

Freyja says:
#<Hildesvini>::returns with a large pitcher of wine::

CMO_Madson says:
::Very quietly::  Self:  Anybody home?

XO_McDuggle says:
::waits to see what happens::

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Why can't you tell me?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Follows along quietly, unsure of what is about to happen::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As before, the door slowly opens.  This time it doesn't open onto a new hallway, but rather a courtyard filled with warriors.  Warriors all holding swords and looking angrily at the CO and his crew.

Freyja says:
#CIV: Here, quench your thirst. ::hands Scott a goblet of wine::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::enters the left passage behind FCO::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::mutters:: CSO: Sure thing. ::takes the left passage::

CMO_Madson says:
::Quickly takes several steps back, staying behind the captain and McDuggle::

Host Bafii says:
@ ACTION:  The floor of the cave is well worn and as they move on the CSO finds something stuck in the wall.  A good tug removes it and the CSO finds he has a dragon's scale.

Freyja says:
#CIV: I do not speak of what Odin has planned, for only he knows.

CO_Loran says:
::quietly says to all::  All:  Doesn't look like they care for us.

XO_McDuggle says:
::steps in front of the CO::

CO_Loran says:
::walks into the courtyard, keeping his hands near his swords::

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  Now what?  Maybe you should call for Odin?

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: Hey guys, this is a dragon's scale.  You guys think it's incandescent?

CIV_Madson says:
#::sits the cup down:: Freyja: Thank you for the drink.  But, if he only knows, then why can't you take me to at least see them again?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Exams the scale:: CSO: Somewhat... maybe it can shed some light for us.

Host Bafii says:
<Warrior 1>  CO: Turn back now and be spared the pain.

Freyja says:
#CIV: If it is the will of Odin, then you shall see them again. Now, come and walk in the gardens with me. ::heads for the arched doorway::

CO_Loran says:
Warrior:  We are already in pain for being taken from our realm and time.

CMO_Madson says:
Warrior 1:  But Odin said we should come.

CIV_Madson says:
#::follows Freyja to the garden:: Freyja: Can you not ask of Odin to let me see them?

Host Bafii says:
<Warrior 1>  CO: I don't care.  Turn back now.  ::his eyes dart to the CMO and he smiles::  But leave her.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::puts scales into pouch::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Looks around the room:: CSO: What do you make of this place?

CO_Loran says:
W1:  I leave no one behind, and that includes Commander Madson that is with the child Freyja.

CMO_Madson says:
::Moves back again a little farther not liking the look of the warrior::

Freyja says:
#CIV: Question me no further! ::her eyes flash::

XO_McDuggle says:
::pulls his sword:: Warrior 1 : If you want a fight, fight me.

Host Bafii says:
<Warrior 1>  CO: Then perhaps I will just take her after we have disposed of you all.

CMO_Madson says:
Warrior 1:  Please, talk to Odin first!

CO_Loran says:
::puts hand on XO:: XO:  Put it away, Number 1.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: It seems to be a corridor to the dragon's lair.

CMO_Madson says:
Warrior 1:  Odin may be very displeased with you if you harm us.

Host Bafii says:
<Warrior 1>  XO: Quiet boy, I'm talking to the only one of you barely worth the time.  At least he wasn't killed by a simple skirmish near the woods.

CO_Loran says:
All:  I have come here to talk with Odin, peacefully.

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO: Well, lets go.  FCO: We need to move on, lead the way.  ::Motions in the dark::

XO_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir by their rules I will be healed by night fall anyway.

Host Bafii says:
<Warrior 1>  ::laughs::  

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Pick up the pace, will ya Patton?

CMO_Madson says:
::Starts feeling very frustrated after coming this far::

CO_Loran says:
XO:  I do not care.  I want to enter into his chambers without a fight.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: There's a soft glow ahead, perhaps your torches?

XO_McDuggle says:
W1: I am here  that mean that I died bravely in battle.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The warrior man throws his head back laughing and his shape slowly changes.  When he looks at them again, they are no longer talking to a warrior but to Loki.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Let's get there!

Freyja says:
#::enters her gardens and smiles at the beautiful sight:: CIV: Are my gardens not the most beautiful that you have ever seen?

CMO_Madson says:
Self:  Should have known.  That idiot Loki!

CO_Loran says:
Loki:  More childish games?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::shrugs and heads for the glow:: CSO: I guess.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: C'mon!  We've found something!

Host Loki says:
::chuckles::  One must enjoy their work, wouldn't you say Captain?

CMO_Madson says:
Loki:  It isn't one bit funny!

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Yes.  They are the best I have ever seen.  But, can you ask of Odin if I can see my friends?

CO_Loran says:
Loki:  I have not enjoyed anything since your first childish game of bringing us here.

XO_McDuggle says:
Loki: So it is you and how is Balder?

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO: What?

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: There's something glowing ahead.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Follows along behind the rest, with his bow:: CSO: I'm following, don't mind me.

Host Loki says:
@ACTION: The team moving more quickly now, the glow getting stronger as they move on, they pass through into a large chamber that looks as if the mountain itself were hollowed out.  This is the bed of the dragon.  The glow is sunlight coming from a hole above and shinning on the huge pile of gold in the center of the room.  The gives everything in the room a golden hue.

CMO_Madson says:
Loki:  Do you know what Odin has done with my daughter, Joanna?

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO/CTO: GOLD!!!!!

Freyja says:
#CIV: I have told you not to question me further. Odin will decide if you shall see them again and I will not ask him for such a favor. He has decreed that you remain with me and stay you shall.

Host Loki says:
XO: I'm not sure, perhaps you want to go visit with him in Hel?

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: Does not anyone question the will of Odin?

FCO_Chottu says:
@::shrugs:: CSO: Yeah, gold.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: Don't you realize we're in a time where this is used as currency?

Host Loki says:
CMO: She is inconsequential.  Perhaps he turned her into a raven for his aviary.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Stands and looks:: Self: Whew.... ::Whistles::

XO_McDuggle says:
Loki: And does Odin know that you are responsible for his death?

Freyja says:
#CIV: Question the father of all Gods? Tread carefully my love, lest Odin strike.

Host Loki says:
XO: Oh hush!  ::waves his hand and the XO's mouth disappears::

CMO_Madson says:
::Bites her lip to keep from screaming at Loki.  Feels like strangling him::

Host Loki says:
@ ACTION: As the team moves towards the gold, there is a crunching under their feet.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::shrugs again:: CSO: Really? Well with the smell, I doubt anyone would freely stay here, so we have no one to give it too and the stuff seems heavy.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: We'll get some of this later.  We must... ::hears crunch:: Uh, what was that?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Looks down:: CSO: Bones....

CO_Loran says:
::looks at the XO then back to Loki::  Loki:  Why are you being a child?  Haven't you grown up in the centuries since our world lost interest in your gods.

XO_McDuggle says:
::is getting really annoyed with this place::

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: In my world and time, we do have people that we should not question.  But, at times, there is always a time to question them, or at least ask of a favor.

CSO_Taliza says:
@All: Oh, no, we've found the villagers!

FCO_Chottu says:
@Self: So I guess that smell isn't flowers.

Host Loki says:
CO: Don't try any of your morality on me mortal.  Your rules don't apply to me.  And now I find you running to tell my father on me.  ::mockingly::  Coward.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Sighs::  CSO: I don't see Joanna anywhere... or at least anything recognizable.

CSO_Taliza says:
@All: I just hope Joanna isn't one of them.  Aloud: ::yell:: Hello?  Anyone here?

CMO_Madson says:
::Glances over at McDuggle, and then looks back again in shock::

CO_Loran says:
::yawns mockingly::  Loki:  I grow tired of your games.  Is there a place I can rest from it all?  ::smirks::

Host Loki says:
@ ACTION: The CSO's voice echoes down to him but other than that there is no return answer.

XO_McDuggle says:
::grabs his sword and heads for Loki::

Freyja says:
#::turns and takes Scott's hand:: CIV: Will you not learn? You are no longer in your world or your time. Here we do not question the almighty power that is m'lord Odin. Now please, let the beauty of the gardens drink into your eyes as I drink in your countenance.

Host Loki says:
::chuckles::  CO: That is more like it, you have some promise yet.  ::waves his hand again and the XO's sword becomes a snake encircling his arm::

CMO_Madson says:
::Watches McDuggle and hopes he's successful::

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: And yelling is this times substitute for a Comm system?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Sighs again:: CSO: I wonder if there is any weapons, tools or armor, in that pile of gold.

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: We'd might as well sift through this area.

CMO_Madson says:
Loki:  Isn't this Odin's palace?  Is he not home?

XO_McDuggle says:
::grabs the snake and unwraps it from his arm and throw it at Loki::

CO_Loran says:
Loki:  If yelling Odin's name gets me this far, I wonder if yelling it again will bring him to his own courtyard?

Host Loki says:
ACTION: The snake disappears as soon as the XO hurls it.

CMO_Madson says:
::Moves away from the captain...just in case::

Host Loki says:
CO: Yell all you want.  You caught me off guard before, but I'm prepared this time.  He won't hear you.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Begins to quickly sort through the gold, to find anything useful::

Host Loki says:
@ACTION: The team finds nothing of interest in the Dragon's horde.

CMO_Madson says:
Loki:  Why wouldn't you want us to speak with Odin?

CSO_Taliza says:
@::can't find anything of use:: CTO/FCO: Let's head back and go up the other passage.

Host Loki says:
::stares at the CMO then looks back to the CO::  CO: She is annoying.  Why did you bring her?

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: It is hard for me to accept the ways of this realm.

Freyja says:
#::plucks a rose from a nearby bush and gives it to Scott:: CIV: To match the bloom on your fair cheek my dearest.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::moves some of the metal around as ordered:: CSO: Sure.

CO_Loran says:
CMO:  It is obvious.  He is a child and he doesn't want us telling on him to his parents.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::exits back into the darkness of the cave::

CMO_Madson says:
::Clenches her teeth in total frustration::  CO:  I am in total agreement on that!

Freyja says:
#CIV: You will accept all that you see, in time.

CMO_Madson says:
Loki:  You are afraid of your father?

CO_Loran says:
::looks at all the other warriors::  Warriors:  Do you stand by Loki's side in disobeying your god, Odin?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Follows along, but after pocket a small pouch of gold::

XO_McDuggle says:
::moves around trying to get closer to Loki::

Host Loki says:
CO: Anyway, I've had enough with you all.  So I shall take my leave of you and let my friends here ::indicating the small army:: deal with you all.   ::smiles and slowly fades from sight::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::trudges along with a pouch full of gold::

Host Loki says:
ACTION: As Loki disappears, the XO's mouth reappears as does he sword lying at the feet of the army.

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  Captain!  ::Moves towards the captain, eyeing all the warriors::

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: So, I am curious.  You asked to concentrate about my friends, and they will appear.  What else can I do?

CO_Loran says:
All:  move back to the door we came in.  ::draws his swords::

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  I think it might be a good time to yell for Odin!

Host Loki says:
ACTION:  The warriors raise their swords and shields, ready to attack the small group.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::exits into the junction::

XO_McDuggle says:
::dives for sword and grabs it striking as he comes up::

Freyja says:
#CIV: What do you desire? More food, drink, women?

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: And suddenly, the army disappears.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Emotions really begin to drop, as the chances of finding anyone alive is very low::

CMO_Madson says:
::Almost passes out with relief::

XO_McDuggle says:
::looks around in disbelief::

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: Let's go into the right chamber.

CIV_Madson says:
#Freyja: I am more than satisfied with those things. ::smiles at Freyja::  What about my own abilities?

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  I think Odin knows we're here.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The halls echo with thunder as one word rings out... LOKI!!!!!

CTO_Williams says:
@CSO: Roger, sir.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: Yeah, that smell is less there.

CO_Loran says:
CMO:  I think you are right, doctor.  ::moves towards the XO::

Freyja says:
#<Fulla>::enters the garden and bows to Freyja:: Freyja: The others have been taken to Odin. ::looks at Scott and smiles coyly::

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO/FCO: We might find Joanna there.

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  I hope he pounds the heck out of that boy!

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  A door at the opposite end of the corridor opens.

Freyja says:
#Fulla: So be it. You may leave us.

CO_Loran says:
All:  I didn't think Odin would not find out about this in his own castle.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::frowns:: CSO: We did go right didn't we.. There's a glow ahead, much like the other room.

XO_McDuggle says:
::puts sword away and waits with the group::

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  Another door, sir.  I think he wants us to go through.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Walks along, alert, but still sad::

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO:  We went left.

Freyja says:
#<Fulla>::bows again and exits the garden looking back at the CIV::

CO_Loran says:
::puts swords away and moves towards the open door::  All:  I guess this is the way we must go.

FCO_Chottu says:
@CSO: Left, right, I mean the right side of the fork.

XO_McDuggle says:
::heads towards door::

Host Bafii says:
@ACTION:  The team quickly reaches the end of the corridor and finds themselves in another large chamber.  This time however there is no gold, but a huge fire burning the middle of the room though there is no fuel visible.

CSO_Taliza says:
@FCO: No, that big room was on the left passage.  We're on the right now.

CMO_Madson says:
::Follows the others and hopes it will go better this time::

CSO_Taliza says:
@CTO: Will you look at that?!

CTO_Williams says:
@::Looks around, and stays on the outside edge:: Self: Hmm... strange indeed.

Freyja says:
#::turns her attentions back to Scott:: CIV: It is difficult to explain, but you must become accustomed to this realm before you are granted any abilities other than those you already possess from your living world.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::thinks:: Self: Then what did I say... ::shakes his head::

CMO_Madson says:
CO:  I hope we can get somewhere now.

CSO_Taliza says:
@::walks around the rim of the flames:: Aloud: Anyone else in here?

CIV_Madson says:
#::steps closer to Freyja:: Freyja: Can you grant me those abilities?

Host Bafii says:
@ACTION: The flames reach as high as the ceiling which is maybe 5 stories tall.  The heat it puts out is tremendous.  The dancing of the flames is almost mesmerizing.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Nods to the CSO, but stays on the outside wall, and walks around the room, in the dark::

CMO_Madson says:
::Walks through the door and looks around::

CSO_Taliza says:
@::remembers the dragon's scales and puts them on::

Freyja says:
