*The snickering Monsterette follows Sis around mumbling "Snicker Snicker Snicker" and after her comes the Tweaking Monster mumbling "Tweak Tweak Tweak" and he does his thing as is told in the Cafe Monster Manual*

[The Sasquatch of Fangorn]

"Well" says Sas as he lifts a large cross bow onto his back,"Where are we going?"

[The last sane person]

Sane sighed at finally being included on this lovely goose chase o'er Hector. Besides, what's one more life size lawn gnome to decorate the Teacup, more or less? At any rate, Sane got up from her spot by the fireplace and ventured over to where Naughtypus and Sis were rallying potential troops.

“If you wish to have it, my self and my Merry Bandito’s are willing to lend their arms. That and I suppose I could use a break patrolling the borders and schooling misbehaving elves.”

Leroy the Liger came up and rubbed his chin on her arm, his purr rattling the chests of all those assembled. Sane looked amused, “I suppose he is signing on as well..”

[The Sasquatch of Fangorn]

"So" said Sas a he put three large and strangley shaped daggers into the same pack,"Nobody answered my question! Where are we going? I realy need to know so I can give my friends of the forrest some directions in case we run into more trouble than we can handle."

[hectorberlioz]

Hector, hearing Sas' request to know their future route, says, "According to my map, we're going to have to be traveling out of Fangorn, back across Rohan, through Lothlorien, and back into Moria, back out through Moria, and into Mirkwood where that darned potion/sunflower thingy is located...."

[The Sasquatch of Fangorn]

"YES!!!!" said sas, jumping in the air,"We are realy going to MORIA???!!! I love a good fight for freedom!"

[Mari]

A bit sceptic, but with a smile Mari looked at Sas. "Uhm... Sas? You DO realize it might be dangerous, right?" Without waiting for an answer, Mari turned to Hector. "You mapped out our route? Good! Does this mean we can leave soon?"

[Grey_Wolf]

*The Grabbing Flesheating Monster had heard from the Eavesdropping Monster that a gang of adventurers would pass by close to his abode near the West Gate of Moria so he had himself ready for a feast*

OOC: Hope this will do as an addition.

[Acalewia]

"I hope you aren't planning on leaving without me," Acally said as she entered the room. She pushed her trench coat back, revealing a few knives and a sword. "My bow skills are pretty good as well," she added with a smile. Anicetos sat down at her feet. "I hope you don't mind him coming along. He's got a mean little temper,"

Acally sat down at one of the tables.
"So who's going and when do we leave?"

[hectorberlioz]

"We leave immediately!" said Hector, shouldering his pack. And just at that moment, he turned to stone. "Mmffp!" he said stretching his arm out towards the door, meaning: "away!"

[Acalewia]

Acally sighed.
"This should be fun. How often is he going to do that?"

[hectorberlioz]

"Gfmt Mffi" said Hector, meaning "Get Mari".

[The Sasquatch of Fangorn]

"All right,all right! Just let me let the *ahem* creatures know i'm leaving and where we are going." said sas, "They want to help and ...they worry!"

[hectorberlioz]

"Mas", mumbled Hector. "Mas, mo mfet mffi, m mmry!"


Meanwhile, everyone had dumped all their traveling packs into a pile near the Teacup Cafe fireplace. Bows, Arrows, Knives, and Swords were scattered across the room.

[The Sasquatch of Fangorn]

Just then a very loud roar ws heard from the forrest,"I think we'd better go, NOW!!!" said sas,"I just got one of my pets very mad at me and ...unless ...can I bring him with us Hector? You won't regret it ! He is the most lovable troll-fell-beast half-breed you will ever meet! And he Just LOVES fighting!"

[The last sane person]

Understanding Hector's stonish babbling, Sane stood up and brought Mari over to 'administer the antidote', as the euphamism goes. Having been unstoned, as it were, Hector stretched his limbs, shaking off the remanng rock dust.

"So, we have a route to get there, and plenty of bored Teacuppers to come along... not to mention my wonderful Bandito's who are like a giant plot hole, which will allow us to not worry about the logistics of food, healing supplies or much else in general. I think we are good to go."

[hectorberlioz]

"Ah, General Sane. Good to have you joind the band!" Hector, seeing his small band sitting on their duffs, began to distribute swords and packs.

As he waited for the others, Hector stepped outside and took a compass reading. "Aha" he said, "I believe we'll be taking....this way out of the woods."

[Grey_Wolf]

"You're leaving?" asked the Kissing and Hugging Monsters in unison and stampeded to the group at the entrance.

"Hug hug hug!" "Kiss kiss kiss!" the duo shouted.

[Mari]

Looking at everyone doing all sorts of things and looking generally busy, Mari decided there was still some time for her to go out and instruct the gardeners in the park to do the necessary things while she was absent. Aeran had some things strapped to his back, but in such a manner that should the need arise the straps could be severed immediately so Aeran could move freely. Bunicula would have to travel on her pack. Yes, she was ready to move out any time now. She even finished saying goodbye to the Kissing and Hugging Monster who always take their sweet time.
