day 5 of the game wide event

[advancetheplot]

[Summer is sitting on the side of a mountain, a sword next to her, one she has no idea how to use or anything. But she's sort of looking at what lies before her before she considers her device]

This is exactly like the movie about the two gay guys on a mountain that Cohen and Atwood made me watch. [And yes, she's talking about Lord of the Rings,

M'lady, I do not know the meaning of this... 'movie' of which you speak, but... perhaps I could offer assistance. To my knowledge, this is but a temporary plight, and like the events of the past several days, I do believe this too shall pass upon the fall of the next moon.
[...Yes, he is talking super-weird. He's read a lot of fantasy novels and played a lot of WoW, okay-- he's really getting into this.]

[advancetheplot]

Neil. Why are you talking so weird?

[illgrowoutofit]

I speaketh in the tongue of the day. Doth it please you not?

[advancetheplot]

It's weird. [Nose wrinkle.] But whatever. So you know what's going on?

[illgrowoutofit]

I know this much: We are charged with retrieval of fine bladestone of chert. And, upon providing as much to the proper Deity, we shall be granted safe return unto our previous realm.

[advancetheplot]

...Huh? What is a bladestone?

[illgrowoutofit]

[Neil offers this image.]

This is our objective, m'lady.

[advancetheplot]

An arrowhead?

[illgrowoutofit]

Of a sort, yes. Or any other shard or blade made from this manner of stone.

[advancetheplot]

Why are you looking for that?

[illgrowoutofit]

The gods command it. And if it is brought back, we will be allowed to return, as you say, home.

[advancetheplot]

Really?

[illgrowoutofit]

Yes, I understand as much to be true.

[advancetheplot]

Can I help?

[illgrowoutofit]

If you so wish it. I must warn you, however: the journey may be treacherous.

[advancetheplot]

So... you don't want me to join?
