Why aren't we just taking it?

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #753 on:** February 28, 2012, 06:56:10 PM »

Because we don't need faeries harassing us while we're carrying unwieldy sharp objects above a mostly-rapid river.

>You position yourself on the little island; the faerie taking to the air to give you some more room, and roll up your sleeve. You take a moment to adjust some of your things, then you lean down into the water, leading in with the knife.
>The water is about as chilly as your expected, and there is a faint current, which was probably more than enough to disrupt the faerie's little fishhook. The earring is fairly deep down, you have to tip your bucket and lay on your side, working almost blindly before you can reach it, using your other hand to keep your sleeve from falling into the river as the water comes up almost to your shoulder.
>It takes a few twists of your wrist, but you manage to hook the earring securely onto the tip of the knife and bring it up to the surface. "My hero!" the faerie says, clapping enthusiastically.
>You obtain: Pearl Earring

> Follow through the air.

>You follow behind the faerie as she leads you upstream. When reach the cavern you emerged from earlier, she enters into it, and leads you toward the pillar chamber. You follow her through there, and toward the soil-laden chamber. She then leads you through the other tunnel that connects with it, and into the one that it branches from, before heading into the chamber you woke up in, ans saying "Cobalt! Cobalt! I found something!"
>The faerie who has been in there the entire time looks up from what she is sewing and smiles. "Really? Really really?" Then she looks at you, and her smile seems to falter just a bit.
>"Yeah!" the little faerie continues, seemingly oblivious. She looks toward you. "Show her! Show her!"

>She's not really distinct. She's on the taller end of the faerie spectrum. She wears a poofy blue dress and a white hat with canine ears attached to it. She has dark blonde hair, and a thin face. She also, you think, not completely pleased to see you for the fifth time today.
