*Robin raises his hand.*
I have a rather novel idea...
*He pauses for effect.*
I could simply attach the net to an arrow, and shoot it over the brick.
*Nobody says or does anything, so he smiles nervously.*
What? Does anyone have a better idea?

*Meliss calls up to Red, who looks really exhausted*
"Red, I think you should come back down here at once, before you do yourself an injury! You might sprain something...the others are discussing other methods of dealing with this object anyway"
*On hearing this, Red half flies, half drops down to Meliss (after advising Morwena to retreat too) and collapses, wheezing on her feet*
Red: "I...can't...tell you...how grateful I am to hear...you say that"

*Zeytan tunrs Robins sujestion over in his head.*
"The idea certainly has merits to it."
*Looks at Red.*
"Poor dragons exausted."
*Malark also looks at Red. He scuttles down off of Zeytan's shoulder and over to Red. He begins blowing bubbles at Red, unuswaly they are not all one cosistat colour, the bubbles burst on contact with Red.*
*Zeytan watches this and smiles.*
"He thinks your hot Red..he's trying to cool you down. Mire-Crabs make a wheezing noise when they overheat and then the rest of the crabs use their bubbles to cool them down, so when he heard you wheezing he equated it with being to hot."

*Callimpsest watches Malark with a grin.*
Oh! How lovely.
*Remembering Robin's idea, he snaps out of his dreaminess and turns to the forester.*
The net is most valuable, if not invaluable, and I'd rather it not be handled by anyone other than myself. *With a glance at Zeytan* Thoughtful lost property retrievals excepted. Now, I believe that the brick is close enough to that window for me to lean out and net it; but naturally, we would need to be in the room, in possession of its occupants' permission.

*At this point, Dreslin steps forward.*
Excuse me. I can help. My name is Dreslin. *Smiles* Despite my attire, I am not a monk.

Ah! 'Cucullus non facit monachum.' ...Latin. Shakespeare. 'The hooded habit does not make the monk.' Or, as a later philosopher has it, 'I just hope you understand, sometimes the clothes do not make the man.' [OOC: uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jTugeLRZ6GI, two minutes in.] ...Oh, er, continue, Dreslin. I am Callimpsest by the way. Do continue.

*Nods slowly* Thank you. As luck would have it, the room you speak of is mine, currently. I was on my way back there when I stopped to watch your investigation. If you'd like to come in for a short time, by all means follow me up. *Smiles* But not all of you. There wouldn't be room.
*Dreslin walks towards the inn. Passing Zeytan, he gets out a small jar.*
If your hand is still troubling you, this ointment may help. I carry it with me to relieve some long-term skin irritation. *Dreslin looks glum for a moment, then brightens up as he offers Zeytan the ointment.*

[OOC: Continued from Exiting/Entering Wolfenden.] *Addis rounds a corner, and sees the crowd in front of the door. He utters a silent curse and quickly retreats and holds up a hand for Flaccus to stop.* "A group is in front of the door. Since we just got here, I believe that it would be best to keep our amount of enemies low, don't you agree? I'll go and see what they are doing, stay here." *Addis uses Improved Invisibility and walks around the corner, watching and waiting. A Crab, a small dragon, a bird, and a group of people who talk to the . . . crab, dragon, and bird . . . I've seen worse.*

*Zeytan smiles at Dreslin.*
"Why thank you kindly my good man..for both the oientment and your assistance in this most taxing...so far of scientific investigations."

*Addis signs and walks back to Flaccus, and whispers.* "This will probably take a while. Let's teleport somewhere else. We'll go to the far end of town and start looking for a place to hide out for now. Teleport us." *Addis touches Flaccus' shoulder and begins to speak the words to the spell. A cloud of flame obscured by darkness forms around the Brothers, and they disappear.* [OOC: Continued it Onwards Ever Onwards due to Addis' magic acting sckrewy and an idea from Leytan.]

*Phoenixflame raised an arm for Morwena to land on and the phoenix flies down and lands on her arm, looking weary*
"Something doesn't feel right" *She murmured to Phoenixflame and rested her head against her shoulder. Phoenixflame looked down at Morwena and a pale light surrounds the two of them, for the moment, they are oblivious to everyopn else, and don;t see Dreslin arrive*

[OOC: Since the group had to walk around the building before they found the brick, they weren't necessarily obstructing the entrance where they were standing. Still, I'm sorry this thread came to a halt for a while.]
*Callimpsest begins to follow Dreslin. He looks at the others.*
Well? Will any others of you be joining us inside? Or introducing yourselves to Dreslin, at the very least?

*While the conversation with Dreslin was going on, Meliss had been tending to Red, giving him a potion to help him sleep as the poor dragon was too worn out to do anything else that day. Now, she stood cradling the dragon in her arms almost like a baby. Red was fast asleep, snoring occasionally*
"I need to book myself a room at the inn anyway, so I might as well join you and Dreslin. One will be able to get a closer look at the brick-object anyway and after what just happened a few minutes ago, I am even more intrigued by it."
*She goes over to Dreslin and introduces herself*
"Greetings, sir. I am Meliss, niece of Hordriss the Confuser, and the sleeping dragon I have here is Red, my pet. Now the object has revealed itself to be no mere brick, I too will be joining you to have a closer look. *A little pompously* Perhaps one will be able to distinguish what kind of majicks have been placed on this brick - after all, one has considerable magical powers of my own"

"Oh yes do forgive me my momentery lack of manners."
*bows slightly*
"My name is Zeytan, a Warriror Pilosipher from Atlantise, though more a Pilosipher these days..I'm a private tutor and sometimes arthour. Pleased to make your aqquintence."
*Turns to Callimpsest.*
"Count me in as well Callimpsest. I would be most intrested to see this object in brick's clothing close up. I also have some equiment in my room that we may be able to use to learn more about this floating enigma."

*the light surrounding Phoenixflame and Morwena faded away, and Morwena looked perkier than she had done, however she still looked exhausted. Morwena and Phoenixflame joined the rest of the group and smiled at Dreslin*
"I'm Phoenixflame, pleased to meet you! This is Morwena" she added, motioning to the sleepy phoenix who was resting on her shoulder.
"I think I'll join you as well! Meliss, is Red alright, he looks exhausted!" She said worriedly to Meliss
