It's somewhat squeaky, but unmistakably in Common. You can't see its origin, but something is definitely there.
"Whaddaya mean, I have to babysit a buncha new recruits? You're nuts! I don't wanna! I won't!"
Silence greets this, with the sound of some creature breathing faster.
"YOU WOULDN'T DARE!"
More silence.
"Okay, I guess you would. Evil...nevermind. Oh great, they're here already. And I have to deal with YOU, too? Sheesh...stupid ****ing thing..."
A creature clears its throat and addresses you who have suddenly appeared, without warning, in the entryway of a rocky room. There is no door behind you, and it is barely lit, until a voice utters a word that causes ten torches to flare.
"Welcome to Hell. I'll be your drill sergeant today. I'm Garnet. My helper is Hairball. I'm gonna whip your sorry asses into shape so you don't die on the mission intended for you. Any questions, or do we just get this stupid **** over with?"
The voice belongs to a small dragonish looking creature who is sitting on a wooden table next to, of all things, an overlarge black cat. The cat's eyes are golden and seem to stare through you.
This thread is the tutorial thread for GigaGuess, Ti'rin (who will be assisting me), Fenris, Videojuegos, FaerieLord, and ErickC. eddy, you'll join up later. Did I forget anyone? I think I did. Fail. Post all your actions as your character unless i indicate otherwise, and above all else, have fun.
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Yeah, I don't see her handling a pissing match in any way other than a duel.

Bob, in Bob's typcial cheerful way, stumbles into line. Adventure is what they said. See the world is what they said. Well they never said he would have to be looking at some type of dragon thing and a cat that appeared to be huge. But still hes happy and its something to do. Reminds him of a story. But maybe that story is best told another time.

Calmly standing at the rear of the line, Nedylene takes in everything she can while saying very little. She narrows her eyes at the talking dragon and the apparent one-sided conversation it had.

Never forget: there's always someone bigger, better and stronger than you.
Someone once asked me why, when I talk about House Dimir, I don't put the word "the" in front of it.
At the time, I had no answer, but it just came to me.
Do we put the word "the" in front of God?

Quote from Me »
Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.
"Everyone paying attention? Okay, good. Because if you aren't, I won't be held responsible for lost or missing limbs, injuries, or transmogrification. Got that? These people here are gonna be with you. Your life may depend on each other, so introduce yourselves while I have a go at getting you something more than just clothing to wear."
Garnet flies off into what appears to be a wall, but seems to pass right through it with ease. The cat sits there, eyeing each one of you in turn.
In the room is the tabel the cat sits on, six chairs, and a small, long table up against the stone wall. On that table are six backpacks, filled with basic gear.
You all hear a mild voice in your heads.
I suggest you go through and inventory those packs. Garnet has light...claws and feels he isn't paid enough. If you have any questions, ask me.
There is absolutely no indication where the voice came from.

Avatar can I attempt to use bardic knowledge to konw what the cat is
Bob picks up his bag and takes a look at the cat. Interesting looking thing. He doesn't quite know if he has seen one like this before. While thinking about it he goes though the basic steps of checking his gear. While doing so he begins to sing to himself.

"Lólindir Celebrindal is my name." Lolindir says in Common, "Is there anyone here, besides our gracious caretakers, who knows why we are here?"
He begins to dig through his bag of gear to see what's inside
"Nice to meet you all." Lolindir was beginning to hope no one noticed how young he was. Most elves don't leave their home until past 100, he was only just 80.
Generally, die rolls are made in spoiler tags, but that's only because it looks neater. You are doing fine. Also, guys, Garnet went to get your stuff. I was giving you all a chance to intro yourselves and such before he "returns".
Thinking about it for a short while, Valerie realizes that the little creature is a pseudodragon, related to real dragons but far nicer to be around. She also remembers that usually, they do not have the ability to speak aloud...

OOC: WOOOT bardic knowledge. Um how does this work? d20+3 then right? I hope
Dice Roller1 D20 rolled with a +3 modifier
11 + 3
Bob continues to sing to himself. While everyone introduces themself. He integrates their names into his song just so he won't forget. Angelo, Lolindir, M, and Valarie.
Bob.
Thats all he pauses to say inbetween his song.
OOC: So what would I like. Hmmm my banjo. And as for weaponry I don't know. Pick something cool for me. And can it be blunt thats my request.
Valarie smiled. Well this is turning out to be interesting all ready. I never thought I'd meet someone like that. I'm sure he has some great knowledge to pass on and some interesting things to tell us and for us to do."
Bardic knowledge is your bard level + Int modifier. So, you did it right. You also had an excellent roll.
Bob remembers from his travels a tale about a cat such as this who travelled with a sorceress. The sorceress was rumored to be a rather bad aim with her fireballs, and so a song was made.

Lolindir thought this was an odd crowd to be associated with, but it didn't bother him, they seemed nice enough. He was wondering what was in the bag, so he started digging.
1 small vial filled with a pungent green liquid
Two waterskins, each filled with..something, a sniff test tells you that one is probably water, the other probably alcoholic
Ten small wrapped packages, all the same size
A rope of rough material, quite long
A flint and steel
A thick cloak that looks as if it could double as a blanket, sized appropriately
Three rods of some kind
Two torches, obviously unlit
In Valerie's pack there are also several larger packages, marked with a pawprint.
A loud crash can faitly be heard, and much louder cursing follows. A short time later, a cart comes through the wall that Garnet flew through, seemingly on its own. Further inspection reveals that it was pushed by Garnet, who looks out of sorts for some reason.
