[IC] The Narrow Path

[Skinner35]

"Oh is he?" He asked, looking around for Gobbo. He also notices everyone just standing around. He didn't know if they had some sort of meeting, or if they're just hanging out. The latter worried him more than the former.

[Gardevoiran]

You see Gobbo standing in front of the tent before he raises his arms up, a thick lime mist enveloping him and the tent. Everyone but Abigail backs away from the mist and prepare their weapons. It takes a few seconds, but the mist settles and you see the tent fully pitched, now tinted in a green color.

Jen stutters before she gets a full statement out. "D-did that work? Is my home bigger?"

Abigail looks over at you and answers Jen. "There's one way to find out. Toby, care to enter?"

If this is true, then there's only one way to find out.

[Skinner35]

"Well. I guess I have no choice." He jokes, as he slowly lets go of Maggie. He then walks towards the tent, gripping one of his pistols. He opens the tent and steps inside, with the interior being at least twice the size it was before, but something felt off. "It worked, but you may have done something that wasn't quite intended."

[Gardevoiran]

Jen follows in after you, along with Abigail, as the spectral woman speaks out loud. "Oh, just let the sun form."

Just beyond the 'horizon' of the pocket dimension, you see a small white ball of light rise through the air. It looks pure and untapped, and it shines onto the ground, which has been turned into a large smooth surface made of an indeterminable material, but it looks like wood tastes. Sturdy and like nothing. It is definitely solid though.

The room possesses a worldly light that illuminates the entire room despite how shadows should work. Everything is visible, and you can notice to the side there's a small building that wasn't there before, matching with several rooms along it. To the side of that, there's a small waterfall with flowing water that you can't describe or understand, along with a wall surrounding it.

Everyone else flows in as you notice Jen smile, a rare sight to behold. "My house... it's beautiful."

"The odd feelin' you feel is pro'lly just the pressure of the pocket dimension, that's all," Westley remarks, holding Magdalene up despite his expression reading that he'd rather be doing anything else right now.

[Skinner35]

"Holy shit... This is... Odd." He whispers. He'd never seen a star form before. He almost felt some bottled up emotions come back. "So... This is your home. Enjoy it." He said to Jen as he walked back out of the tent. He needed to stay focused.

[Gardevoiran]

"Thish ish meant to be a portable home, acshually," you hear Gobbo pipe up as he looks at you. "T-there are multiple roomsh for the each of ush to ushe for shleeping..." He smiles happily as Abigail leaves the tent in front of you. The rest of your party (minus Eve, who leaped to find the top of the dimensional tent) all disperse to check the rooms.

You have a feeling Abigail wishes to talk to you, whatever that means.

[Skinner35]

"As amazing as it is. I don't think I'll be sleeping a lot." He says to Gobbo. He then walks to Jen. "Hey."

[Gardevoiran]

As soon as you step one foot near Jen, she grabs you and hugs you with a strength that you haven't seen in her for a while. She's clearly excited and can't contain her energy. "Toby! In all my days of being a knight of the greater powers, I never would have imagined that I would see something as fantastic as this!" Her hug is actually a bit uncomfortable, if you feel it. "A-all my forge space was even increased! I can make things that I never could before! It's great!"

You look over to the forge of the Light, and wouldn't you know it, there's now a lot more going on there. There's a mannequin in addition to what seems to be a chest full of even rarer materials for Jen to work with. You also notice Westley over there, sitting at a table with Magdalene at his side (on the ground, but she seemed happy to be there), working on something you don't exactly understand. It doesn't worry you though.

Before long, Jen finally puts you down. "... we heard about Aithwale, but I had consulted the Light on what to do. It suggested to stay positive, and that is what we are doing. Hopefully it makes young Magdalene feel better."

[Skinner35]

All he could feel was immense pressure on his rib cage from the hug. Once she put him down, and he was able to breath, he looked at her. "Well. Now that this is up, we will be able to get a lot more done. But we can't let this distract us too much." He said to her, while looking at the surroundings. "We should be moving by the morning. We need to head towards the mountains."

[Gardevoiran]

"Go and make any final preparations you must. I will be converting this into a wagon on the outside. We can pull this with my war stallion and that... thing Brock owns." You see Jen's body fill with disgust as she shudders at the thought of Charlie. It's also then you feel a small snake poke his head out of your metal arm and look at you with a cute little snout. He's silly.

Maybe there's something in town you should grab before you go, but if you're honestly ready to go, there's nothing holding you back.

[Skinner35]

"Good. I'm heading into town one final time. Need anything?" He asked, looking at her. Once he headed off to continue the mission, there was no possible way for him to come back. He refused to move backwards.

[Gardevoiran]

"Metal. Might want to grab some bird seed or something for Evelyn, if she eats that." Jen turns back to walk to her forge as you are free at last.

Your tiny snake looks up at you with a small smile on her face. Her tongue sticks out at you with curiosity and her eyes just reek of pure ecstasy. She's excited to go with you.

[Skinner35]

"Metal it is." He repeats to himself as he begins to walk into the town. Then he stops and turns. "Eve, would you like to join me?"

[Gardevoiran]

You see Eve's body slam down into the dirt. It lays there unmoving for a few seconds before she finally stirs and gets back up."U-uh what? Sorry, I was just seeing how high the ceiling goes."

You notice a considerable crack underneath her in the floor, but it seems to magically repair itself as she walks over to you.

[Skinner35]

As he is trying to hold back slight laughter, he asks, "Would you like to join me? I'm heading back into town before we leave." He then turned back towards the town, looking for the blacksmith, he slightly forgot where he was.

[Gardevoiran]

"Y-yeah! I wanna see if there are any cool things there!"

You step outside the tent with Eve as you notice a large shadow fly overhead. Looking up only shows the figure of a woman, rather bulky and large, but incredibly distant away, flying overhead, large draconic wings flapping as she rides through the wind. Eve visibly cowers behind you as she looks up to the skies. "W-what was that?!"

[Skinner35]

“That... was a dragon!” He said rather excitedly as he watched it pass. “Okay, now, let’s go.” He began walking into town, going directly towards the blacksmith.

[Gardevoiran]

Eve chokes out her words. "I-I really hope we didn't piss it off..."

You walk directly towards the town blacksmith, when you see Grodlar rubbing his head at the sight of the dragon. "That ain't sometin' y'see ev'rydae..." He turns to see you walking and waves you over to him. "Oi! Tob'yas! C'mere fer a sec!"

[Skinner35]

He hears Grodlar and quickly turns and walks towards him. "Whatcha need?" He asked when he approached, looking at the spare metal and other parts.

[Gardevoiran]

"Y'see that lady that jus' flew by? That was the Dragon Goddess Mizana, Countess o'the Winds!" You see Grodlar eagerly jump up and down as his small dwarven frame barely reaches up to your face with the peak of every jump.

Eve quickly joins the conversation. "Lord of the Winds?"

"Aye!" Grodlar jovially says as he rushes over to the side and lifts up a book. "This book taught m'ev'rythin' about th' Dragon Gods! Even how t'farm their shed skins!" Grodlar flips to the entry on Mizana, where her beautiful face stares you down with a seductive smile. Even if it's a book, you can't help but feel she's actually there watching you. "Her scales can mold armor that'll keep y'glidin' fer eons!"

Eve looks off towards the distance where she flew. "... hmm..." You see her place her hand on her chin as if she's pondering a thought.

"Ev'ry Dragon God has been cataloged 'ere... well... except fer two. Fyneas 'n Kielai."
