I will be back with some small clothes, pokeroot and bandages for them."<br/><br/>Walo turned to the group and smiled. "Told ya!" he uttered proudly. He waved his hand in an overly grandiose "come inside" motion.<br/><br/>The inside was nearly as stark as the the white walls. There was one rectangular table with six stools seated around it. The fireplace was made of stone and had a kettle hanging on an iron bar. Ladles hung nearby on an outside wall. On the floor were several rugs, apparently the skins of some variety of furry animal. No head was apparent on them to make the identity of the dead animals known.<br/><br/>Walo pointed at the animal rugs and said, "Sit, please." He then called to his mother saying, "See, mom! I do know how to use the word, 'please.'" He beamed at the group again and giggled slightly.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=261064.msg12888172#msg12888172">Quote from: Rummy Tum Tum on 07-01-2017, 03:06:44</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Arguments. Nudity. Children. Firebugs and kung fu enthusiasts. This was not a good start to their adventure. Well, the last two things were pretty damn cool, he had to admit. In any case, things were getting way off course during so short of a venture. He supposed that was to be expected when a large group of confused people were herded through a strange land. Not to mention the fact that this land existed in a world of magic and fucked up, blood sucking plant life.<br/><br/>He sighed deeply, finding himself very much in agreement with the woman now unfortunately known as Taylor Swift. He cast one last glance at the party, beckoning them forward with a light and casual tilt of his head, then entered the farm as well. He would listen to the exchange between mother, child, and stranger, but found himself uncomfortable standing around waiting. "Excuse me, ma'am!" He called politely. "I am grateful for the help, but we really need some clothes as soon as possible. We woke up naked here, and no offense, but a bunch of strange, naked adults sitting with your kid around a fire isn't a good look."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>tags - party<br/><br/>After some time and conversation, from somewhere off to the side came a woman that appeared to be in her mid-fifties. Her hair was a silvery grey. Her body was plump and her overall figure could best be described as spherical. However, her voice was pleasant and soothing. "So, new Champions...." She started out handing out nearly indescript pieces of clothing. They appeared to be made of hemp or potato sacks. However, upon closer inspection, the women were given horizontal strips calculated to cover most or all of a woman's breasts. It tied in the back with a hemp string. The bottoms were little more than thongs. For the men, they received what were apparently intended to be briefs but offered little to no support.<br/><br/>tags - party<br/><br/>She waited for the party to get comfortable and dressed before speaking in a nurturing and motherly tone, "Well, Champions, I am sure that your heads are full with questions. However, your time here is limited. Walo will have to take you into Newgate to meet with the Elders. I am certain they are preparing your welcoming feast. I will answer what I can. My name is Ute. I will take care of your wounds, as well. She held up a pouch and jiggled it lightly, as if it were important. What further assistance can I be to you?"<br/>
