A Trip Through a Magical Forest (Forest of Fairy RP)

"Well, let carry him to the inn then." The pyromancer answered waiting for elise to leave the man in the inn and start the quest already, he didn't have any hurry while he wait for elise he can simply read some books from his bag.

"We get to go to town first? YES! This is gonna be great!" She followed closely after Elise, prodding the weak form of a man the slime girl carted along only once or twice. "Xana, can we see their shops really quick? I promise I won't break anything!"

Xana gave some thought to Anika's idea, visiting the shop could be a good plan of action. Stack up on supplies was always a good plan, maybe they could even gather some information about that was going on at the forest. "Visiting the shops could be useful. What does everyone else think?"

"I agree,let's gather some supplies before we can part to the forest and start this quest, better be prepared than go withouts full hands" answers Tobias,he can shop something to increase his flames if the shop have something like that.

"...some ropes, ball bearings, caltrops."  With that, the slime wheels herself towards the inn while the others buy the supply.  At a walking speed, it wouldn't take long for her to reach the entrance though she was forced to compress herself to fit through the doorway though enough that she can still support the victim through the door.  

Without even bothering with the reaction of such a bizarre sight of a skinny blue cart made of slime wheeling itself through, Elise slides the man onto the inn counter right in front of the clerk.  "...the forest got him."  Elise barely explains with her same indifferent voice again totally apathetic to the reactions of the patrons of the establishment.

The patrons' eyes went wide with a mix of emotions, all of them in awe.

"I.... see. Bring him here." Thankfully, it took only a few instants for the innkeeper to understand the situation that was unfolding before him, and he led Elise to a chair in a corner. "Thankfully, this is expected from our most esteemed drunkard." He let out a chuckle when saying this. "Not even the midara want this ugly bastard." He said, a few patrons laughed in return, making this seem like an internal joke from the townfolk.

(now, imma give yall freedom to decide whether your characters followed Elise on her trip or went to do other things, like shopping, for instance.)

Tobias walked towards the shop wanting to ask the shopkeeper what he need,if he have it will be amazing for him,once he had his gears surely will be easy to deal with the midara of the forest,"well,let's see the shopkeeper and buy the supplies".

Anika waved to Elise as she rolled away towards the inn, promising to see her later as she tailed after Xana to go see the shop. As they neared, the excitement got the better of her and she pushed open the door, her hand shooting up in a greeting as she called, "Hello! We've come to see your stuff, guy!"

"Hi? Are you here for the forest?" The shopkeeper said, knowing full well that new faces generaly meant adventurers.

"Yes we are,do you have some stuff that can increase fire magic potential?" he asked while looking at the sttuf the shopkeeper have in store

"What do ya have to sell, strangah!" Ani asked jubilantly as she wandered the store like a curious child. "Anything good? Anything cool?"

(That references xD)

"Rope, ballbearings and caltrops, any of them" Tobias asked for last time as he waited the answer from the skopkeeper before he/her get sick of questions, he looked at anika with curiosity and pated her ears a little with a soft giggle.

A little bit overwhelmed, the shopkeeper said. "Sir, this is a convinience shop, not a death-tools distribution."


"Of course, i have rope, packs, screws and bolts." He then completed.

Thinking about it, this is a pretty silent and calm place, they likely didn't have much things to provide specifically to adventurers.

"Oh.... Oops!" Anika wandered around looking for food they might have, not sure what a 'convenience shop' really meant. "Dooooooo.... you have any fish?" She lightly smacked Tobias's hand away from her ears as she questioned the shopkeep.

Tobias blinked and shake his head from that smack on his hand and just sighed and resign himself about stroking her ears, "give a few ropes,then" he answered the shopkeeper and waited for him to say the prices.

Xana watched the scene unfold not sure of what they were really expecting. "What can you tell us about the forest, sir?" Even if the store wouldn't have items that adventurers could find useful, the shopkeeper could have some info to share amd that would be as useful as any item.

Rope was easy to find, if Tobias had the money, he would be able to buy it easily, but fish was a little different. "We don't have any fish here... town problems." He answered relunctantly.

But then Xana finally asked a question that the shopkeeper could handle, and he took a deep breath: "So, that place weights on this town for a while, we don't get trade or people coming here besides a few brave souls that want to save the day, unfortunatly, most of them don't come back, but some do." He started. "Most of them speak that the forest is overly populated with fairies, plant things and the like, a group of adventurers actually managed to get to a castle there, a bloody CASTLE, but none of them managed to actually clear the forest."


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, on the inn: Elise, after dumping the man on the requested spot, was aproached by a woman who was looking quite desperate. "Hey, are you an adventurer? If so please save my sister, she dissapeared inside the forest and Ethan failed to get her back.... just look at him." She said, pointing his head at the man Elise just dumped. "Please, she is my only family." she begged.

"No fish?? This is a huge emergency! Also, those Midara are being total jerks! At least me and my friends left Kore alone, I can't believe this!" Anika got quickly huffy about how insensitive the Midara of the neighboring forest were being towards the town nearby. "I promise on my tail that we'll give those fairies a big butt whoopin'!"

"So we finish with the supplys or someone need anything more?" Tobias asked as he walked to the exit of the shop towards the inn, taking a seat near elise doing nothing to disturb her,not wanting a slimy hand slaping him or fisting him, "Any one of you know something about the forest?".

Xana watched Tobias leave but remained at the store, she wondered if there was any more intel she could gather from the shopkeeper. "And how long has this been an issue? Those who came back were in the same state that the man we found there? Drained almost completely?"

Elise tilts her stretcher so that the comatose man slides into the chair. Well that was one load out of her back, literally. Just as Elise reforms back into her translucent self, she heard someone call for her ...what now? . She turns her neck 180 degree to the woman, creating a very bizarre look of her back turned towards the woman but her face is facing her. She visibly sighs. Normally, she doesn't really really care much about saving anyone but this rescue .

"If we find her, we will send her your way." Elise murmurs apathetically as she turns back towards the door and starts sliding towards the exit promptly. She does not wanting to get bogged down by more people asking for more 'side-quests' wasting her time.

Tobias let his question unanswered as he followed Elise without making any sound ,not wanting to make her angry, finally outside of the inn he walked back to the entrance of the forest,his curiosity making him want to take a look by himself not taking in mind his others companions in the shop.

Anika stuck with Xana for the sake of keeping close to the only person she really knows here. Elise had left for the inn a bit ago so she didn't know where she was at this point, and that weird Tobias guy had just left too. Even still, she stayed next to Xana, waiting for her to get whatever she needed.

The shopkeeper answered Xana's question: "Yes, if not worse." 

-------------------

The town was small, and one could see the shop from the Inn's door, it wouldn't be hard for our heroes to gather back together.

Tobias decided to take a risk and walk alone entering the forest to make a reconnaissance tour as he walk just a few steps into the forest.
