One minute Shem'et was looking about her, claws out, her body in battle-ready posture, and the next one everything was happening at once. The colorful elf from Barthem's shop showed up after having followed her into the woods with an intent to help her with both of her errands. And then a green something was whizzing past her, followed by a large rock, and by a frustrated looking orc, cursing up a storm. The crafter was confused to say the least. She turned her keen feline gaze this way and that to get a better grasp of the situation. The green something turned out to be a small pixie, who sported a suspiciously mischievous look about them. Shem turned toward the orc. Somehow she thought she got the gist of what had happened. Considering the orc's irritable cursing when he'd burst onto the scene. Shem'et put herself between the pixie and the orc, who looked mighty intimidating with that ore he wielded as a club. The tabaxi raised her hands, retracting her claws. [color=DAA520]"That we are indeed, Master orc!"[/color] She began with her most benign and soothing tone of voice. [color=DAA520]"We've come from Frontier Town on an errand for Master Bookie of the Black Mines. I am Shem'et, a crafter, and this..."[/color] Shem indicated at the peacock of an elf beside her. [color=DAA520]"... is Master...[/color]" Shem fell in stunned silence, realizing the feathery elf hadn't really given his name. [color=DAA520]"... um, a friend of mine who just arrived in Frontier Town and we have come to the woods in search of iron sand at the behest of Master Bookie as I've said. And as a side task we have been asked by Barthem the merchant to collect as much Greenwarish as we can."[/color] Shem indicated the disturbed herb by her feet. The tabaxi crafter was praying the pixie behind her wouldn't do anything else to set off the orc again. She could tell by looking at the tiny creature, it had had it's fun on the back of the poor orc. [color=DAA520]"Is there something we can do for you, Master orc? May I ask what put you in such a foul mood?"[/color] [hider=Rolls]Perception on the green light - [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/11978]22[/url] Insight on pixie - [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/11979]20[/url] Insight on orc - [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/11980]16[/url][/hider] [sub][@Lucius Cypher] [@Black Keys][/sub]
