Adventure???

On the starting line was a very large crab. On the crab sat a very strange looking owl. It wore a rob, and its head seemed a couple times too large for its body. Its eyes seemed ever more exaggerated. Kikwi would normally have had his head swiveling around the other contenders, but he was...

“Um, College of Elbion,” he answered. He did have many questions for them. So many, in fact, that they were all struggling to get out at once, and much like when too many people try to rush through a doorway at the same time, his thoughts had gotten rather stuck. ”Ah! Yes, there are very big...

Kikwi leaned down a bit to look at his friend's new shape. His eye was easily half Volker's new height. He set aside his questions about the Silent Court, those would have to wait for a separate question-and-answer session with the man. He looked at the mushrooms he now possessed. Volker seemed...

"My...co...nid," Kikwi sounded out as he took the small vial daintily. He was overjoyed to see a second appear, and it took him a moment to regain his composure, pull the blanket back over his soggy head, and speak fully. "Where do they procure the glass?" he wondered aloud to himself. "Perhaps...

Kikwi was exhausted, to the point that not even his sensitive ears picked out the tiny footsteps amidst the pattering rain. He was still doing his best to watch the trolls and commit their images to memory. It was too risky to try and make sketches now, the rain could ruin his notebook if he...

On the other side of the fire, two large yellow eyes peered out into the rain from beneath not one, not two, but three thick blankets. The pupils were open wide against the darkness, and he could see the trolls in reasonable clarity despite their distance. The eyes blinked slowly, with heavy...

Kikwi accepted the amber gratefully, and drew out another small vial from his robes in which to place it. It was a wonder how many pockets he had sewn into the small but flowing garment, and how many items they could hold. "I think..." he whispered, examining the amber in his vial, "this is...

Kikwi did not like to see Kenai so distressed, but he did find it a little odd that she would be so upset about wooden money. He guessed it would be disappointing if she had thought they were real. Maybe she needed money badly? Maybe that was why she took this job. While the cogs of his head...

Kikwi watched, his pupils expanding and contracting against the uneven light of a moving canopy, but diligently focused on the little creature. It held the blue crystal delicately, running its many arms over it against and again, almost like it were looking for something. Then it did something...

Kikwi held his breath as he was carried, not wanting any little breaths to be squeezed out. It was a comfort to feel how sturdy and strong Volker's arms were, at the very least this man could fight off a few bugs if it came to it. Volker's words held wisdom, and Kikwi internally chastised...

I condone this.

Kikwi moved onwards, propelled by his quenchless curiosity. He knew, in the back of his vast mind, that this was unwise. He knew that he was putting himself, and his companion, in danger by venturing deeper into the lair. As promised, the ambery crystals grew in size and frequency as they...

Kikwi hurried along at the sound of Kenai's cries of misery. Of course, his hurrying wasn't quite so effective on short legs, but he made up for it with gusto and clattered along the stones as quickly as he could manage. He skidded into the room a few paces behind Kade, huffing and puffing as...

Kikwi turned. It was odd being called "professor," though he couldn't say he minded it. It made his chest puff up a little bit with pride, despite the obvious dangers around them. He nodded, putting on a determined expression and holding his tongue between his beak in concentration. Easy does...
