The bunny


"No bunny knows the trouble she's seen."



I believe this incident must have occurred shortly after the opening of the rogue guild. I'm honestly not sure if this happened to me, or if someone else sent me the log and I didn't record who. It certainly could have been me.

Roundtime: 3 sec.
You attempt to blend with the surroundings and feel confident that no one has noticed your doing so.

Taelrand pops in with a minimum of fanfare.

Taelrand exclaims, "Hi!"

Taelrand taps his foot impatiently.

You do not believe anyone noticed you slip out of hiding.

Taelrand paces back and forth.

You gaze in wonder at your surroundings.

>l
[Rogue Guild, Courtyard]
An old fountain is set into the stone wall in the corner of the courtyard, trickles of cool water still running down its eroded stone face to fill the clear pool at its base.  The semicircle of stones that serve as a bench around the fountain and the well-worn flagstones that cover the ground around it give the impression that this was once a public thoroughfare.  You also see some sweep training dummies and some subdue training mannequins.
Also here: GameMaster Taelrand
Obvious paths: south, east, southeast.

Taelrand waves to you.

Taelrand asks, "Can I pester you just one a moment?"

You nod.

You see GameMaster Taelrand Loarthea the Dark Elf Thief.
He looks like he either just woke up or hasn't slept in days.
His short, straight dark brown hair is in a state of disarray, and his dark eyes look a little bloodshot.
He is wearing a thrak skin hip quiver, an ora-chained dark obelisk crystal, a test key, a fuzzy black puppy-skin sheath, a rumpled white linen shirt, a writhing mass of tentacles, a pair of black leather pants, some scuffed black leather boots, a shimmering glaesine orb, a relatively large satchel, a ruby-flecked glaesine amulet, a little brown fletching junk pouch, a basket of rotten fruit, a ruby inset silver sunburst medallion, a brimstone amulet, a cloak wrought of twisted shadows, a rat pelt, a giant rat and a golvern shield embossed with the image of an adorable kitten.

Taelrand asks, "Who'd you think I was saying hi to, them?"

Taelrand points at some sweep training dummies.

You nod to Taelrand.

Taelrand grins wryly.

Taelrand says, "This will hurt a little bit..I just need to check something."

You stare at nothing in particular.

Taelrand explains to you the movements involved in a good flip, detailing how to keep your balance and when to bring your feet down for a landing.  He follows the explanation with a few stylish flips, making them look easy.
Roundtime: 15 sec.

You ask, "Was that it?"

Taelrand says, "No, no."

Taelrand says, "Now, uh..close your eyes."

You close your eyes for a moment.

Taelrand pulls a cute and fuzzy bunny out from behind him, and strokes its ears gently, making soft cooing noises.  Suddenly, he shouts, "Catch!" and throws the bunny at you!  In mid-flight, the startled bunny takes on a ravenous expression, revealing impossibly large fangs and a killer instinct!

The buzz of thoughts in your mind subsides.

It seems you have died, my friend.  Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 10 mins...

Taelrand calmly retrieves the bunny from your tattered self and tucks it away.

Gowain says, "I am not happy"

You exclaim, "OW!!"

Gowain says, "ouch"

Gowain says, "I mean"

Gowain exclaims, "I love it here!"

Taelrand explains to you the movements involved in a good flip, detailing how to keep your balance and when to bring your feet down for a landing.  He follows the explanation with a few stylish flips, making them look easy.
Roundtime: 14 sec.

Taelrand begins chuckling at Gowain.

You exclaim, "Taelrand!"

Taelrand says, "Okay, that's what I thought."

You laugh, the sepulchral sound echoing through the room.

You are healed.

You say, "Thanks."

Taelrand says, "You pay really good attention to my teaching..when you're DEAD."

Taelrand grumbles.

You belt out, "I'm okay!"

You laugh out loud!

Thorauk says, "those training dummies are tougher than they look"

You nod to Thorauk.

Taelrand nods to Thorauk.

You hear Postino yell, "What happend?!"

Taelrand cowers away from some sweep training dummies.

You belt out, "Little bunny attack."

Gowain yells, "bunny"

Taelrand yells, "No bunny knows the trouble she's seen."
