Dwayne's eyes grew wide as his ass was smacked as he unsure about what had happened. His expression went back to normal in a moment when he realized that it was a casual, friendly gesture from the halfling, and not some form of torture. "Er... yes... breeks would be... nice."<br/><br/>Once out of Grok's earshot, Dwayne spoke to the halfling. "Thank you. I suspect you've figured out why I want that book so badly. I'd like to return the favor. I'm pretty good with my hands."<br/><br/>Dwayne moved his fingers in a way that could easily be mistaken for being something lewd, though, they weren't intended to be anything of the sort. After either an awkward silence or any other sort of reaction(s), Dwayne continued speaking.<br/><br/>"If there's anything you'd like made, like a weapon, armor or something alchemical, let me know. Though that last one would be tricky without more of my equipment..."<br/><br/>After Izora spoke, "Sure, I'll take you up on that offer. I've been 'on' ships many times, but they were docked. The open sea is new to me. Hmm... chocolate..."<br/><br/>Dwayne put a finger to his chin momentarily and then remembered he had large amounts of butter (the material component for Grease) in his spell components pouch. Perhaps he could prestidigitate some of it into something chocolaty. Hopefully there'd be something else in the kitchens that he could use instead.<br/><br/>"No promises, but... I might be able to jury rig something... chocolat...yy... I'll see what I can do."<br/><br/>Dwayne was glad to have his clothes back. He felt like cleaning up a bit though. He muttered a bit and made a few motions as subtly as he could, to reduce the odds of some passing crewmember noticing. In a moment or two he became less sweaty and more presentable, but not so much as to stick out. To the others, "If you like, I could that for you guys as well."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Liquid Courage!: At 2016-03-22 09:40:22, mellowdude (uid: 58701) rolls: 1d4a2 Result: 3 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=86773) (Should be 1, accidentally added 2 to that)<br/>Fort Save vs Addiction: At 2016-03-22 09:40:58, mellowdude (uid: 58701) rolls: 1d20a2 Result: 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=86774)<br/>Con Damage: At 2016-03-22 09:35:20, mellowdude (uid: 58701) rolls: 1d3 Result: 1 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=86772)<br/>Ambrose Diplomacy: At 2016-03-22 12:05:18, mellowdude (uid: 58701) rolls: 1d20a2 Result: 11 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=86803)<br/>Sandara Diplomacy: At 2016-03-22 12:05:50, mellowdude (uid: 58701) rolls: 1d20a2 Result: 13 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=86804)<br/></div></div><br/>Dwayne spent some extra time sticking around the kitchen, cleaning it up a bit, manually and with prestidigitation and at the same time, talking to Ambrose about his past as a dock worker and asking questions about how Ambrose ended up the ship. He also politely asked for his components back at any point when Ambrose seemed to be in a good mood, and mentioned off hand that he might be able to improve some of the existing kitchen equipment, and/or make some more if he had his stuff back. If he could find any food product in the kitchen that could feasibly be prestidigitated into something resembling chocolate, he asked Ambrose if he could take some.<br/><br/>He walked around for a bit, lost in thought when he accidentally bumped into Sandara Quinn, knocking her hat overboard. "Shit, I'm so sorry. I'll get it back." He immediately ran to the side of the ship. He muttered a few words, and made a few esoteric motions with his hands, after which the hat gently floated up. After catching it, he made a few motions and recited some incantations to make it dry and clean it up. "Phew, there we go. Again, sorry." He talked to her for a while after that, mentioning how he woke up on the ship, and how much he loathed Master Scourge.<br/><br/>He returned to the kitchen around 10 minutes before supper time and used prestidigitation to improve the quality of the grub as best he could, telling Ambrose that he suddenly remembered a recipe and that he could use his components to add some flavor to the food. He'd ask Ambrose to taste it, ask him what needed changing, drop a harmless component like a drop of holy water into the food, change it with prestidigitation, and ask again till Ambrose was happy with it. He also used detect poison on all the food in the kitchen, just in case.<br/><br/>He'd approach Izora during supper, handing her a bar of whatever edible food he could find closest enough to chocolate, prestidigitated to look and taste like chocolate, and kept chilled.<br/><br/>"Here you go. This is the best I could manage. Do you want me to warm it up a bit?"
