Well met
Something I have been meaning to request for some time now, but was only recently brought to the forefront of my mind again by something mentioned by Wooly Rupert in a scroll today...
Likely drawing mainly from the Finder's Stone Trilogy, how many different emotion odours do we know are emitted from saurials, such as Dragonbait?
For example, woodsmoke was one type of emotion, whilst vanilla was another, etc etc. I don't recall any exactly at the moment, but have been meaning to find out all that I can on what has ever been printed.
Thank ye

Hmm, I had a file that listed these..... I wonder where it went. :(
But the WOTC web enhancement for Serpent Kingdoms has a few of them.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

From the Serpent Kingdoms WE:
Scent -- Emotion
Baked bread -- Anger
Brimstone -- Confusion
Ham -- Nervousness or worry
Honeysuckle -- Tenderness
Lemons -- Pleasure or joy
Roses -- Sadness
Tar -- Victory
Violets -- Danger or fear
Wood smoke -- Devotion or piety
I'm sure more scents were listed in the novels, but I'm about 10 miles from my novels right now...  |

Well met
Ahh Wooly, that is absolutely splendid!  How I missed that list within that tome is beyond me. 'twas just what I was looking for.
Any updates to this list from the novels would be appreciated if anyone can recall them at some point.
I think it's worth placing this list in the library proper... ye never know when a saurial may stop by the library and need translating  Let us just hope that if there's a smell of baking bread, then it's wafting from the Candlekeep Inn instead  |

Just finished reading Azure Bonds, as far as I can remember, Woodsmoke,Violets, Roses and Baked Bread appeared consistently (as you say).
Lemons was mentioned once (as a citrus smell I think that Akabar noticed whilst Dragonbait was visiting Elminster), and I 'think' Brimstone may have been mentioned. Ham I think was also mentioned at the same time as Baked Bread once (which reminded Olive how hungry she was)
I don't recall Tar or Honeysuckle being mentioned during the novel.
I'm onto the Wyverns Spur now, and then Song of the Saurials, so if I find any more I'll let you know when I get back from hols |

Oh fear not, Kuje, thou art rated highly  My eyes had already wandered over to the tome on the shelf with anticipation. Wooly simply saved me the trouble of walking to the other side of the room and climbing the steps to the bookcase |

Actually, it was the web enhancement. So I just opened a pdf. |

Apologies, Mint is remorse :) I misunderstood it when Dragonbait meets Coral
Cinnamon - Love
Dragonbait makes reference to smelling Coral's hope, but I can't find exactly what scent it is atm
