Rassaa, Dalaran

Rassaa watched the group and smiled slightly to herself, leaning down and muttering darkly as she hauled the mechanical crab up on to the table. There she turned her her 90 degrees, trying to check if all the bolts on its stomach plate were still strong. The crab made a clicking sound, eyes turning this way and that, then focusing on the cat. It whirred quietly.

Faron, Gyrocopter

Faron looked down, and around. "How far is the Cult of the Dead?" the troll's voice asked.

Indigosa--Dalaran

Indi awoke to Moon tugging on her hair. She gently pushed the mare's nose aside and yawned loudly, the haunting sound spooking some of the other mounts. She didn't sleep often, only if she had used up too many of her energies. Between fighting Scarlet bastards, trying to keep Azu alive, and Alarial's healing, she had been exhausted. With a sigh, she resigned herself to go hunt below in Crystalsong Forest for some fresh meat that would rejuvenate her energy more than sleeping.

She mounted Moon and rode over to the landing pad, Moon calling for Khaz as she did so. Khaz landed next to the undead horse and Indi climbed on his back, flying down below Dalaran to find a good sized stag. Indi would have loved to be able to kill the stag herself, with her own claws and sharp teeth, but alas, those days were over and a well-placed axe swing would have to do. From the air, she pulled out her axe and readied it in a throwing position, waiting for Khaz to align himself close enough not to scare the deer.

As Khaz got into position, she flung the axe at the deer's neck, the sharp blade lodging itself deep into the bone and tissue. Khaz flew closer to the nearly dead stag and Indi jumped off his back, retrieved her axe, and cut the stag's head clean off. She left the head for the wolves, climbed back on Khaz's back, Khaz grabbed the stag's body in his talons, and they flew back to Dalaran. Indi hefted the stag body onto Moon's back and they walked back to the neutral inn. Upon arriving, Indi heaved the deer body into the inn, throwing it on the floor in front of her friends and saying, "Breakfast is served." She looked quite pleased with herself.

Decay - Dalaran

Decay sighed deeply and slumped down. Stupid druid. Stupid people.

Azunara
Dalaran

Azunara got up. Mmm. Meat. But she was distracted by a....feeling of being watched. She pricked her ears, peering at the some...crab thing on a table. She confidently padded over to it and clicked its "shell" with a claw. "Neat!" She said, "Does it have a name?" She asked.

Kozri
Dalaran

Kozri glanced at Decay, quietly walking over, and said, "Hi. Er, I wanted to thank you for your help back there. I would've been mincemeat otherwise. You...you can understand why I didn't say anything about being a dragon, right? Most mortals tend to distrust my kind, especially after the blacks and blues trying to, you know, kill everyone."

Decay - Dalaran

"I... I'm sorry, I... Wha? You? Well, any time! I'm just surprised... Have you never fought a dragonslayer before?", she asked unsecurly. "And I assume your real name is Kozri-dormu?"

Indigosa--Dalaran

Indi overheard Kozri's conversation with Decay and stiffened when he mentioned her former dragonflight. The blue glow her eyes gave off deepened and she stalked out of the inn.

Alarial--Dalaran

Alarial awoke, feeling hungry and headed downstairs. She was alarmed to see the dead body of a deer in the middle of the inn floor. "Oh my!" she exclaimed. "Where did this come from?"

Rassaa, Dalaran

Rassaa looked at the cat druid and smiled. "Aye. His name is Sprocket. I've been workin' on him fer a while noo." She mentally scowled at the dwarf accent slipping though. It never left you completely. The crab whirred again, turning to face the cat. One of its eyes began to blink and went out, causing Rassaa to curse and mutter something in dwarfish.

Azunara
Dalaran

The druid peered at it, "It won't explode, will it?" She asked.

Kozri
Dalaran

"Technically, yes. My name would be Kozridormu. But Kozri is still what I go by. And recently, no. I've been in the Caverns, taking care of Infinites. Awhile back, I had fought a few, but I'll admit I'm rusty."

Alarial--Dalaran

No one answered where the deer body came from so she started looking around the room absently, noticing a dwarven hunter with strange crab pet, and only one of the two death knights in their party. None of the people inside looked as if they would have gone out hunting, especially since the body looked untouched. Alarial assumed that Indi must have brought it, but if she had, why wasn't she here eating it? The others seemed too caught up in their own conversations to know where Indi might be so Alarial slipped out of the stables to go find the death knight for herself and make sure she was okay.

Rassaa, Dalaran

Rassaa shook her head. "It shouldnea. I'm not a Goblin engineer. Och, that eye still isnea working?" She frowned and grabbed at the offending eyestalk, twisting off the light in it and peering at it. While she looked at it, she asked, "Ye staying in Dalaran much?"

Azunara
Dalaran

"Yeah! Resting, and staying away from those weird earthquakes. They hurt my head, really badly. The magic here, and the whole not on the ground thing keeps the pain away." Azunara explained, and peered at the eye, rapping it gently with a claw.

Rassaa, Dalaran

At the rap, the "eye" blinked back into life, glowing gently. Blinking at it, Rassaa fitted it back into the socket on the stalk. It turned off. "Och! By Magni's bronze beard, I swear I'll..." she began muttering, flicking at the eye with a finger. "Aye, th' earthquakes have been a bit o' a disturbance I ke- I know. And yer friends o'er there?"

Azunara
Dalaran

"Yeah!" Azunara said, cheerfully. "That's Kozri, that's Decay, and Indi and the nice priestess left." She flicked her tail to each respective person, and then tilted her head, "What's your name?"

((Azu is the kind of person the interrogators would love. She's too trusting and happily answers any question you ask her...>>;))

Rassaa, Dalaran

The lightbulb eye was removed, and the eyestalk was being examined carefully. "Ach, noo, ye gotta be kiddin' me. There's a wee little bit o' sand in there..." She fished a gnomish army knife out of her bags and fiddled with it, taking the eyestalk apart bit by bit to clean it out. "I'm Rassaa, survivalist. 'M here ta get some materials fer repairing Sprocket 'ere, but I cannea get the eye ta work right, as ye can see. Kozri's a bit o' a funny name fer a human. Where's he from, if ye don't mind me askin'?"

((Sorry if I sound godmode-y, but.. Kozri really is a strange name for a human.))

Azunara
Dalaran

The druid paused. What would be a safe answer? "Tanaris." She said. That was true, and it was relatively safe. Just to be sure though, she hastily added, "Don't bother asking further though. His family was, er, killed by bandits! Yeah! Very sad, I don't recommend you talk to him about it."

She looked rather pleased with this answer.

Rassaa, Dalaran

Rassaa smiled, playing along. It was obvious she didn't want to say anything - and it was obviously a lie, with the "er, yeah" added in there - so she would drop it. It didn't matter that much, anyway, she had met some... interesting people. "Tanaris? Very pretty land, ye ken. Met one o' me best friends there. Wee bit o' a bandit problem, though, I agree." She began putting the eyestalk back together, then put the eye back on. It stayed lit.

Azunara
Dalaran

Azunara was rather clueless her lie had easily been seen through, and gave a sigh of relief that she quickly turned into a cough. She grinned at the lit eye. "Yay!" She leaped up excitedly, watching it glow.

Rassaa, Dalaran

Rassaa very carefully put the eyestalk back on the rest of the crab, handling it as if it would explode at any moment. The crab whirred happily - if it's possible for a mechanical beast to be happy - and skittered forward, ending up falling off the table and landing on its back. Luckily the eyestalks were out of the way, but it wasn't able to get back upright, its shining legs churning at the air as it tried to walk. Rassaa covered her face with her palm. "Fer the love o' Ironforge..."

Azunara
Dalaran

Azunara looked at it, gingerly reaching out to try and flip it onto its legs.

Rassaa, Dalaran

The crab flipped over, turning an a quick circle to re-coordinate itself. Then it turned to Azu and poked her with a pincer, whirring absently. Rassaa watched it curiously."I still have nea a clue as ta why I made him." she grumbled.
