Sword & Sorcery:  Old Books for a New Age is located in a strip mall in a relatively nice part of the city of Oxford.  A scattering of other cars fill parts of the parking lot, with most of the vehicles congregated to the side nearest the Teriyaki Rok'n'Wok, a rock and roll themed teriyaki restaurant.  The bookstore sits farther down the line of shops, in the more deserted section of the strip mall.  Val'drin raises an eyebrow at the Rok'n'Wok, slipping one hand into his pocket as he surveys the others.  

"Everyone's at least armed, I do hope."

I'm dying for something that doesn't involve almost dying.

[She and her baseball bat are just gonna head on out. She pats Miles on the shoulder as she passes. You did good bro.]

So Rok'n'Wok sounds great to me.

[It can be like their schwarma date.]

[ upstairs they go, where steve martin awaits.

"Is everyone all right?" asks broggon. "Tell me what occurred downstairs." ]

[theshameofcain]

Spiders. Spiders everywhere.

[Yeah, that's all you're getting from her. WHERE DID SHE PUT HER BOOK.]

[cabot]

That crate of yours contained eggs, that hatched and grew monstrous spiders. Wonderful friends you have.

[ "Spiders of monstrous size? Well, those certainly weren't there a few days ago," broggon muses. "I think you're right. Someone sent them. Again, I am in your debt. I've made a few calls, but I haven't been able to find out anything about this mysterious PTC. Perhaps Wynn will have better luck." he hands over the shipping invoice. ]

[She leans closer to Miles.] Could he be more British about it? I half-expect him to bust out the "oh bothers." Jesus.

[cuivre]

[A will save of 6 means he can't hold back the laughter at that.

He doesn't say anything, though, just bumps his shoulder against hers.]

[valdrin]

Yes, well, hopefully what he discovers won't involve more oversized arachnids. Until then, if you'll pardon us, I think we've plans for dinner.

[ val'drin looks the others over, then nods at the door. ROLL OUT TEAM.
