<DeathStar> Date: 3.30.2389
<DeathStar> Location: Cave
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at the two puncture marks in Zeal's neck, which are still bleeding, and veins can be seen around it. She peers up. "What happened to her?" 6* She asks in surprise and worry, while Jean touches her neck, trying to heal it, but there appears to be no effect.
* Kaelan searches Zeal's things for herbs or medicine.
<Xanatos> <Valen> She was attacked by...something. Something very strong. 6He kneels by her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She was attacked by somethig...It was fast.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Was it a demon? 6* She asks, peering at the mark. "If it is...I heard talk...if a demon bit you, you'd become one."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't know what demon's look like.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I...think it could have been. 6he frowns, peering down in worry.
<Kaelan> "It didn't look human, that's for sure." *she continues rifling through Zeal's things*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael bites her lip. "Should we... " 6* Seh doesn't finish 'kill her'.
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal has a just a few herbs she managed to collect, really
<Zeal> <Zeal> Just... do it..." 6She hisses.
* Kaelan peers over, "Should we what?" *she carries over the few herbs*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Jean, can you do anything?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck, glancing at Zeal then at Valen
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's eyes are closed, and she seems intently focused, so much so she doesn't respond.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a sigh. 1If she...turns we would need to kill her before that or else risk getting killed ourselves.
<Zeal> <Zeal> .. I refuse... to become... anything but my.. self. Just. Kill me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well does she even look like she's turning into a demon?
<Kaelan> "...She's not going to turn. NO ZEAL."
<Zeal> <Zeal> Could not... see within-- seconds." 6She rasps.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gives Dahok a slight shrug, not really knowing anything about them.
* Kaelan looks down at her. "A pained look, she holds out the herbs to Rachael."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to mumble, her language clearly not theirs, and her eyes open to peer at Valen; though they're still the same color, their gaze is almost like someone elses. She holds up her hand to the wound, and for a moment, Zeal could almost make out something, before she sees red - from pain. Blood oozes out of the wound, looking tainted.
* Kaelan looks down at her. A pained look, she holds out the herbs to Rachael.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen widens his eyes slightly peering down. 1You're...pulling out the disease?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stares at Jean and what she's doing. 1"Amazing."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean finishes, then speaks, in their language again. "We have to kill the monster or she'll be lost. I delayed it."
<Xanatos> <Valen> KILL it? We couldn't even keep up with it.
* Kaelan hops up. "We'll have to hope we can track it down then!"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal will lead us to it.
<DeathStar> 6* The pain in Zeal fades, and while still weak, would feel slightly better, though feverish
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She can?
<Zeal> 6Zeal finishes a soundless gasp, then shrieks, thrashing at first, then just curls up on her side, huffing and wheezing.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6He frowns at the thought of fighting the thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael frowns at the pitiful sight of Valen. Jean eyes Valen, then rises to her feet, reaching out and snatching his sword. "Then I'll fight it." 6* She mumbles some foreign word, then steps on out
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... something's different about her. 6* She notes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Woh Jean, you can't go alone.
* Kaelan looks between Zeal and Jean, looking over Jean carefully, she leans down to try and help Zeal up. "Jean, wait up!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to his feet. 1Don't touch my weapon. I'll fight it. 6He holds his hand outward.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes Valen, then spins the sword once and holds the hilt toward him.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes the saber and slides it back into it's spot. 1We should make haste. 6He kneels to help Jean to her feet.
* Kaelan peers over Jean a little more as she keeps trying to help Zeal up.
<Zeal> 6Zeal swats Kaelan's hand away, getting to her feet. Her face twisting and perspiring but glaring. 1"Do.. not touch me.."
<Kaelan> "...Zeal?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Zeal. 1"Mean thing to say to a friend."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gets up, watching with worry. She grabs her bow and arrows, peering at Zeal. "Becareful, Kaelan; she might not be in her right mind."
<Zeal> 6Zeal glares at Dahok, her eyes wide as she grinds her teeth.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slides his hand back and then rises again. 1Lead us, so we can stop this curse from taking hold.
<Kaelan> "Alright..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts back a bit at Zeal's glare
<Zeal> 6Zeal stumbles slightly, 1"Pathetic..." 6She murmurs, not looking at Dahok, then moves quickly for the opening of the cave, gasping.
* Kaelan grabs her cloak and starts following Zeal.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean is peering up at the sky, a frown there, as if seeing it for the first time.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen watches Jean for a moment, tilting his head. 1You're different.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows, behind Zeal, holding her bow ready. She looks wary and worried, as if dealing with a wild animals. As Zeal passes Baby and Solomon, they both scramble to the side
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves out afer the others.
<Zeal> <Zeal> .. I'm .. pathetic.." 6She grasps at her face, then lowers her hand, peering around the fields looking crazed.
* Kaelan peers over at Jean a moment. She looks back at Zeal. "No you're not."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances at Valen, then sniffs the air, moving for the cave that she seemed afraid of earlier.
<Zeal> <Zeal> Call.. myself a templ.. ar ...have been mercied twice.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen watches her carefully before shifting to move after them.
<Kaelan> "Zeal, you're the strongest woman I know. Don't talk like that."
* Zeal lurches forward and starts to jog with Jean, snorting at Kaelan
<DeathStar> 6* Jean snorts at Kaelan
* Zeal eyes Jean slowly, scowling.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Valen.
* Kaelan looks confused now, she frowns and moves after Zeal.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes Zeal, then peers at the cave. She touches her head, making a face.
<Zeal> You... fair not as ... cute when... possessed..." 6She squints painfully, then eyes the cave, moving in toward it.
* Kaelan eyes the cave cautiously, walking after Zeal still.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slips the saber out and pulls the shield up as he moves for the cave, squinting slightly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pulls out his trust wood sword
<DeathStar> <Jean> And you are hardly 'cute' with your self-absorbant attitude and berating of others. But now is not the time for such personal insights, is it?
<DeathStar> 6* The cave somehow seems more eerie than before. Jean steps on it, though her walking seems more wobbily now.
* Kaelan draws her own sword carefully, looking between them again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You alright, Jean?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> .... 6* She throws a glance at Valen, looking more unsettled.
<Kaelan> "She's like before..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Just stay behind me. 6He tells her in a calm voice.
<DeathStar> <Jean> I am losing my hold. I suggest we find the 'demon' before I lose it completely. 6* She mumbles something in another language, and holds up a hand to create a flame of light
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's way over my head but I get the time limit thing.
* Kaelan frowns a little and just nods, deciding not to waste time with questions now.
<Zeal> None of you... should be coming with.." 6She frowns at Jean, looking to the others.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Save such talk. You're a 'group' now. Act like it. 6* She tells Zeal in a no-nonsense tone
<Xanatos> <Valen> I like this new 'Jean'.
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to walk into the cave, the light source only strong when the others are near her
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She is interesting to say the least. 6He moves along, staying a bit close.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves along with her, peering around carefully.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I miss the old Jean. 6* She notes softly
* Kaelan walks along, watching Jean. "She'll be back soon, I think, which is why we should hurry."
<DeathStar> 6* The cave begins to angle down in a slant, and there's a moistness on the cave walls; some places on the ceiling drip. Rachael holds up a hand after some land on her head, letting it hit her hand, then lets out a girly screech
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks to peer at Rachael. 1You okay?!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks, swinging his sword up defensively and looks at her.
* Kaelan blinks, looking at Rachael when some hits her head. "What is it...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stares at her hand where a spot of blood can be seen
<DeathStar> 6* She peers up at the ceiling. Jean turns back, then lifts up her light source to illuminate the cave ceiling, where blood can be seen dripping from remains of things
<Zeal> <Zeal> ... One of many... like me... perhaps..
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and peers up towards the ceiling. He pauses and makes a face. 1Wonderful. 6He says with a sarcastic sigh.
* Kaelan stares slowly, then reaches up to touch her head where something splashed. She looks up and gulps. "Not good..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This is disgusting....6He gulps a bit, peering around
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She mumbles in her foreign tongue, turning to move on again. They come to a three-way split in the cave. She peers toward Zeal. "Focus on the taint. See if you can feel the source."
<Zeal> <Zeal> I ... will become... like that..? Heheh...
* Zeal pauses squinting at Jean, then frowns. 1"... Focus..?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks rattled now, touching her hair in a panic
<Xanatos> <Valen> Doubtful. I think this is the food maybe?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Yes. Focus.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slides close to her and whispers to her, trying to ease her mind.
* Kaelan grips her sword tight, doing her very best to look unbothered.
<Zeal> 6Zeal inhales sharply, a hand moving to her shoulder, then scowls, closing her eyes a moment.
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal can smell the tasty blood in the air. Kaelan's fresh blood beckoning to her. And down the tunnels, on the path to the left, something...dark
* Kaelan looks about quietly, frowning deeply.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts as Zeal seems to tune out, peering at Valen again, looking like she doesn't want to be there anymore. Her eyes drift to the ceiling constantly, and then, finally, unable to restrain herself. "Zeal?!"
<Zeal> 6Zeal shakes her head. 1"...Down to the left...."
<Zeal> <Zeal> ...Get... away from me...
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns at her. 1Move. IT sounds as if our time is slipping away.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers down the left tunnel; Jean simply begins to move down the tunnel herself, not commenting on how long it took Zeal to snap out and give an answer of four words.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves after her quickly, not wanting Jean alone
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Zeal, shifting away from her a bit, sticking behind her still
* Kaelan looks at Zeal worriedly, "Come on Zeal."
* Zeal puts some pace between her and Dahok, but lumbers down the left tunnel, holding her head.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves now, watching Zeal carefully as he strolls along.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan moves behind Zeal, sword out, who she's guarding is up in the air, guarding is in the process of happening.
<DeathStar> 6* The tunnel continues it's slant, and begins more slick. Jean stumbles once, then falls, her light source fading as she goes sliding down the cave tunnel, gone in the darkness
* Zeal actually seems apprehensive, seeing light reflect off Kaelan's blade, her hands tensing near her own.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tries to grab her before she goes sliding down, but probably misses
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a sigh. 1Shit. Quickly.
* Zeal not paying attention, waltzes right forward
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael freezes in the darkness. "Who has a light?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal goes sliding now
* Kaelan steadies herself and frowns more, "I don't."
* Zeal snarls slightly and tumbles down
<Kaelan> "Zeal..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> None of us. I can barely see my hand in front of my face.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches Zeal go flying by. 1"Woh that was clo...wait, who did we lose now?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Jean and Zeal. Come'on we have to hurry. 6He moves forward to go sliding after them.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... We can't just go into a cave of darkness---
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well we can't really leave at this point
* Kaelan carefully sheaths her blade, she frowns. "I think we don't have much of a choice, it's dark either way."
<DeathStar> 6* Valen slides by and cuts Dahok, since it's dark and all and the GM is evil
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a howl of pain, causing him to shift and start sliding down now
<Kaelan> Kaelan> "Come on Rachael." *she grumbles and slides down after them* "Dahok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Valen would find himself sliding faster and faster, until finally he would crash into something that pokes into his sides and face. Soemthing sharp. He can hear movement near him, and a moment later Dahok would crash down on his back
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal would hear the other two crashing down next to her, having hit the same pointy things as Valen did.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a grunt of pain, he hisses, trying to figure out what the pointy thing is.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan would then land on top of Dahok, driving Valen into the sharp objects
<DeathStar> 6* The cave is pitch black, giving no illumination
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> O-Ow....
<Xanatos> <Valen> Get. Off. Me. 6He hisses out in pain.
* Kaelan oofs as she lands on Dahok. "I-Is everyone alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Until a flame appears, Jean holding up her hand. They're in a pit of skeletons
<Zeal> <Zeal> Urgh... ..." 6She reaches around blindly, then squints as Jean makes another wisp
* Kaelan tries to get up. She stumbles a bit, then starts to help Dahok up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to try and get off him
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sorry
<DeathStar> 6* As Kaelan and Dahok shift, the bones would cause them to fall on top of each other, with a head between them to ruin any intimacy Kaelan might feel
<Xanatos> <Valen> We're even. 6He glances towards Dahok's cut.
<Zeal> It has... lived here.. for some time..
<DeathStar> 6* Dark movement shifts in the cave, on the far reaches of Jean's light source. She turns, peering about for whatever it was, but there's only shadows in the massive pit
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets to his feet, carefully peering down at his wounds.
* Kaelan looks like a scared young lady for a brief moment before trying to get up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stares at the skeleton. 1"...Creepy
* Zeal stands up slowly, groaning, then brings her bow out, drawing an arrow, her eyes closed and focusing again.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slowly shifts to stand up again.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances back up the 'ramp' and makes a small frown, peering around for the enemy in the darkness.
<DeathStar> 6* The dark shadow rushes and Jean goes flying, landing with a pained cry on some skeletons. She doesn't rise up, looking weaker than normal, and the light flickers. The shadowy figure's red eyes glow as it reaches for her
* Kaelan gets up with Dahok, she looks about worriedly. She arrows her eyes when the attack comes, working her sword back out.
* Zeal turns, aiming for it and releases the arrow without her eyes, but opens them afterward, swooning.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stalks forward towards it as Jean attacks.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly moves towards it now too, his sword pulled out to his side
* Kaelan slowly makes her way around toward it, she pauses and looks behind her. "Rachael?"
<DeathStar> 6* The creature jerks as it gets stabbed in the back by the arrow; it turns to face Valen and Dahok
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok tenses a bit, his sword held defensively
<Xanatos> 6* Valen brings his saber out in a horizontal slice.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature shifts back into the darkness, fading from sight again.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and peers around. 1Dirty trick.
* Kaelan frowns as she gets no response. "She must still be up above."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to Jean and kneels down to pick her up. 1"You ok Jean?
<DeathStar> 6* As Dahok moves over, the shadowy figure rams into Dahok, sending him flying into a pile of bones.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks as Dahok go flying and moves for the figure, slicing out diagnally.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok is hit and sent flying into the pile of bones with a crunching noise
* Kaelan moves in, slicing at it as Valen does, going for it's side.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature hisses as it's slashed, and it turns, grabbing Dahok's arm with a dark hand, and jerks to lift him up in the air, swinging him into Kaelan with enough impact to send her flying
<Xanatos> 6* Valen brings his shield upward for the figure in a shield bash to try and knock it back from Dahok.
* Kaelan goes flying back and crashes into some skeletons, she struggles to get herself back up.
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, Valen's arm
<Xanatos> NRP: TOO LATE!
<DeathStar> NRP: You don't want to too late me. :)
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok groans as he pushes himself from the pile of bones
<Xanatos> 6* Valen grunts in pain, kicking out to try and get free.
* Zeal hisses, panting, then pulls another arrow along her bow and focuses again.
* Kaelan lifts her sword back up and starts moving in, looking for an opening.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure throws Valen at Zeal
<Xanatos> <Valen> Dodge. 6He calls out to Zeal.
* Kaelan leaps in and slashes at the figure again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Wow you're strong. 6He coughs a bit and starts moving in towards the demon
<DeathStar> 6* The figure waits for KAelan to leap in, grabs her arm, breaks it in one clean movement, and throws her aside
* Kaelan cries out in pain as she lands, dropping her sword and holding her arm.
* Zeal scrunches her face a moment, not really registering, then goes to move but is clipped by Valen
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Kaelan! 6He growls a bit and he holds the sword defensively again as he moves closer to it
<DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to focus on something. The creature waits for Dahok to approach, apparantly finding their attack patterns predictable
* Zeal spins around, loosing her arrow wildly, then just tosses the bow aside, drawing both of her swords and screaming as she runs at it blindly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lands on the ground and slides along, pushing up to his feet, he makes a noise of annoyance and moves to retreive his sword and shield, sheating the saber he pulls up the crossbows and makes sure Dahok isn't in the path, moving to fire but pauses at Zeal.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his foot and he kicks up a skull towards the beasts head
<DeathStar> 6* The creature just shifts it's glowing eyes to the side
* Kaelan holds her arm, breathign hard from the pain, she sits up, gritting her teeth.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean finishes, and her flame bursts brighter, illuminating the entire cave. The creature howls in blindness, covering it's face.
* Zeal takes a similar approach to Dahok, kicking up bones from the ground, and instead of charging into melee despite holding swords, takes the turn and throws both of them like throwing knives at it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok kicks off and he swings the wood sword for it's stomach
* Kaelan draws her dagger with her good hand and moves in, aiming to stab at it.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be a dark skinned, perhaps slight blueish, monster, with red eyes and no hair. It wears clothing made of human flesh, and has bones protuding from it's shoulders and arms
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok moves in, indeed hitting the creature with his sword, but gets one sword in the right shoulder from Zeal, while the other hits the creature in the throat
* Zeal topples into the floor of bones after doing so, as if drunk.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a howl of pain as he spins to the ground
<DeathStar> 6* The creature opens it's mouth, full of razor sharp teeth that look more like the bones that are coming from it's skin, with the two front teeth sharper like a wolves.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen keeps aiming, his skill isn't great so he can't get exact shots, but once the others are out of the way he tries to get the monster in the mouth.
* Zeal thrashes in the bones, groaning loudly.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature gets clipped in the ear instead, and as Jean's light dies out, it zooms back into the darkness before Kaelan reaches it
<Kaelan> * Kaelan frowns, she moves over to Dahok, looking where it went carefully, keeping the dagger at the ready.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slowly reaches for his right shoulder as he tries to grab the blade, his hand pausing as he finds it. 1"This is so going to hurt..."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns at his aim and puts the crossbow away. Slowly pulling the saber back out, he tries to listen for any sound of the creature.
<DeathStar> 6* The cave, completely in the dark again, gives away nothing. Valen would hear bones shifting from behind him
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slowly turns in that direction, shield coming around defensively.
<DeathStar> 6* Something impacts against the shield, and Valen's knocked back a few feet adn put off balance. Suddenly, a flaming bundle of cloth comes flying down into the pit and Rachael lands a moment later, making a face of pain. The flaming clthes provide some light again, and the creature hisses, distracted
* Zeal howls, grabbing at her face, crawling to find her bow.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around a bit now that he can see and looks to see how badly lodged the blade is in his shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Not that bad, considering it was thrown by a girly girl.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen brings his saber back and shoves it forward for a thrust trying to get the creature.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok reaches up to try and grab the blade but at it's position he can't, so he slowly pushes himself up with his good arm
<DeathStar> 6* The creature grabs Valen's arm as he thrusts, the blade just barely entering his flesh. He begins to apply pressure, about to break his arm like he did to Kaelan.
* Kaelan narrows her eyes again and moves in on the creature, she moves around to the side of it as Valen thrusts outward and attempts to stab at it's side as its occupied.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sneers and attempts to headbutt to try and get enough force to finish the thrust.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature roars as Kaelan stabs it's side, and he swings Valen at her, only to get headbutt, then thrusted more by Valen. It oozes dark blood as it stands there, pinned.
* Zeal grasps at her bow, her other hand fumbling with her satchel. Given that the bow is large she can't immediately get it up, her rummaging hand however takes a letter opener and with a squint, she hurtles it, always aiming for the head, though if she's lucky, she muses, an eye.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a growl of pain from the headbutt and attempts to twist the saber, probably trying to get it so he can pull the sword upward.
* Kaelan twists the dagger, pushing the strangely shaped side in a little before pulling out roughly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the flaming clothes and he moves over to it.
<DeathStar> 6* The creature gets stabbed by the letter opener, then returns the favor to Valen and headbutts him back, letting the object stab him in return. It then gurgles in pain, and punches Valen away, turns to face Kaelan and grabs her hand, squeezing it
<Chad`Winters> 6He shifts his sword away and he grabs a bone and picks up a piece of it and he moves for the demon and thruts the flaming cloth against it's side
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a cry of pain, falling back. he drops the shield to hold his wound.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> VALEN!
<DeathStar> 6* The creature hisses as Dahok gets in close, and he swing/tosses Kaelan at him before he gets close.
<DeathStar> 6* It begins to limp away, no longer speedy it seems, rushing for what appears to be the back of the pit area
* Kaelan struggles as she cries out as pressure is put on the hand, she cries out again as she goes flying for Dahok.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks and shifts to try and dodge the swing
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pushes himself to his feet and dives forward with a tackle, trying to graps the sword and jerk it out, blood covering most of his face now.
* Zeal eyes the flaming cloth and Dahok's strategy and remembers her own against the scorpions. She reaches for an arrow, setting it aflame, then notches it, tensing to aim for the other eye, slowing her breathing, when it goes to run, however, she adjusts, aiming for the base of the skull
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stumbles over the bones toward Valen, pausing as Valen rushes and tackles the creature, making them both fall and miss Zeal's arrow.
<Zeal> <Zeal> As I-- ... b-burn in hell.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves after Valen the best he can with his make shift torch
<DeathStar> 6* As Valen jerks the weapon out, the creature snarls, grabbing a bone and swings it at Valen's jaw
* Kaelan shakes her hand and curses a little, she leans down and grabs at her dagger again.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets clocked and falls off of it.
* Zeal tries to defend Valen for a change, quickdrawing to try and shoot the hand-- but Valen reacted so probably not
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok comes in after Valen is knocked back and he swings the flaming bone for it's chest
<DeathStar> 6* The creature sits up, oozing foul smelling blood. Before it can smash Dahok, Zela's arrow knocks it's hand, leaving it open as Dahok swings a bone into it's chest; the flames, once touching the blood, light it aflame, and it begins to burn
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks a bit at it and he pulls the bone back then swings it for it's head with all the strength he can
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pushes himself to his feet, bring up an arm to wipe some blood away from his face.
* Kaelan stares at the sight, slowly shifting her dagger into it's sheath. She stumbles over to check on Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* The burning creature grabs Dahok's arm, and steps forward, the flames burning at Dahok, like cats licking at milk. It seems intent on bear hugging him and taking him with it
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks forward to kick out, trying to give Dahok a chance to get free.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok howls in pain
<Xanatos> NRP: out at the monster.
* Kaelan halts seeing what's happening, she moves forward towards the two.
<DeathStar> 6* The monster is kicked, and falls, pulling Dahok with it, and toward it.
* Zeal reaches for her quiver and pauses. 1"... Damn... out.."
<Zeal> Cut... OFF HIS ARMS!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a noise of annoyance, moving to try and remove the arms witout hurting Dahok.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eyes go wide as he see's a world of pain about to happen.
* Kaelan draws her dagger again and moves in, she cuts at the monster's arm with the blade as best she can. "LET HIM GO!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks forward, getting her blade ready and she covers the distance, grabbing Dahok to hold him up without falling, struggling as the flames burn at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Valen and Kaelan hack at the arms, finally removing them. The creature rattles, then burns, no longer moving. The arm clutches at Dahok still, even in death
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok waves the arm about frantically to try and put the fire out
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers towards Zeal quickly. 1Do you feel different?
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal would begin to feel better as the creature burns
* Kaelan tries to pull one off with her good arm, after putting the knife away.
<Zeal> I feel like... eating you.." 6She hisses, but then gasps.
<Zeal> However... it is... subsiding..
<DeathStar> 6* There's a sudden terrorfied wail.
* Zeal grabs at her head when there's screaming
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses. 1Jean? 6He quickly moves towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes all the bones, panic in her eyes, and she looks scared to death. She holds herself, shivering in fear, looking at Valen like he were a savior
* Kaelan winces, looking around, but keeps at trying to free Dahok.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pants, his face pail from the burning pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael lets Dahok go after the arm is removed, and peers at his wounds, then applies the herbs that were give nto her
<Zeal> <Zeal> She... is bad..." 6She huffs, then moves over to Dahok, eyeing him-- then claims her sword back.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sheaths the sword and wipes more blood from his face, holding out his clean hand. 1Come'on. It's alright.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok swears out a storm as Zeal just yanks the sword out without warning
* Kaelan straightens up, holding her arm. "It's broken... Zeal!"
<Zeal> <Zeal> ..If I ... told him he... would have just... anticipated it..
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> THAT HURT!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then takes the hand, clinging to him as she peers around, then at the hurt others, jerking. "Everyone hurt!" 6* She tries to hurry to them, but trips on a bone, flailing as she begins to fall
* Zeal eyes Dahok, then wipes the sword clean on him and finds her other.
* Kaelan shifts to catch her despite her arm, using the good one though.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pants a bit more now. He wipes some sweat from his eyes and glances at Rachael. 1"Are you alright?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks out to catch her. 1Easy. 6He moves with her over to them.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean isn't near Kaelan. She pauses, clinging to Valen.
<Chad`Winters> 6He pauses to eye Zeal use his clothing to wipe blood off
<Zeal> Use... your shirt to... cover it for now..
* Zeal sheathes her swords and then moves to be alone, kneeling and putting her hands to her head.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves Jean over to the others, before moving to retrieve his shield.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. I'm fine. 6* She says, looking pale and ill. She doesn't explain what took her so long, peering at Valen
* Kaelan sighs and holds her arm, she quietly moves over to one side to retrieve her sword, putting it away.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean touches Dahok first, working on healing his burns
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok blinks as Jean touches him. 1"Hey there, are you alright?
* Zeal whispers to herself. 1"..Pathetic.."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* After an hour of navigating the caves for another exit, the team finally reached the plains and back to their cave. Part of the time was spent with Valen's instance on finding a mighty chest of goodies, which he did find, but could't find the key, forcing him to lug the entire chest back to camp
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits by a fire, and Jean seems exhausted, having passed out after working on Dahok's arm and nullifying Kaelan's pain, though the arm seems broken still.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen plops down with the chest and gasps for breath, peering the lock over.
* Zeal seems to stay to herself, even if it means being away from the fire's warmth.
<DeathStar> 6* The lock appears sturdy.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok sits there, eyeing Valen with the chest. 1"So any ideas on how you're going to open it?"
* Kaelan sits near Dahok, her arm in a sling made from one of her spare shirts, not wanting to move it while it's still broken. She stares at the fire tiredly.
<Xanatos> <Valen> No idea. 6He says with a frown, slowly pushing himself to his feet.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We could drop it from a cliff.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean squirms in her sleep, clinging to Baby, making noises like she's having a nightmare.
<Xanatos> <Valen> We could drag it to the top of the hill and push it over maybe. 6He motions towards the area above the cave.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You should focus more on your wounds and save that for later. 6* She notes, peering at Valen's gashes
<Kaelan> "I think... the Jean that lead us into that cavern... I think she's the Angel. Or at least, the one people were expecting."
<Zeal> You could ask the smith to use her tools made for dealing with iron.
* Zeal peers toward Jean, looking like she wants to go to her, but reluctant. Eventually she does, but approaches Baby slowly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Zeal off to herself. 1"You going to join us or sulk over there?
<Kaelan> "I need two hands to work most of my tools Zeal."
<Zeal> That is why you tell sir Lankin how.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The... 'other' Jean, as you put it, didn't seem to emit malice, either. Just... roughness.
<Kaelan> "Point... I might be able to..." *she tries to figure out if she can use the tools to open the chest*
<DeathStar> 6* It would use up one of the three uses.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns and peers down as if Rachael scolded him. But he nods to her regardless and moves to sit down by the fire. 1Yes. Very blunt and too the point.
* Kaelan looks at Rachael. "That's true... but I mean more in, well, being wholey in control of her powers."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shives a bit, then gets to her feet. "I'm going to see about using what little water we have to bathe. 6* She moves into the back of their cave, having been twitchy since getting out
<Xanatos> <Valen> I will mark in my journal of out victory. Few can say they fought a demon and survived.
<Zeal> Good choice of words.
* Zeal grows quiet, getting closer to the bearor. 1"...Survived. Not won."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I can't wait to tell this at the inns.
<DeathStar> 6* Baby watches Zeal
<Kaelan> "Doesn't seem like much of a victory to me. Though..."
* Kaelan motions to Valen.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Surviving in the wilds of the world is a victory. Believe me.
* Zeal eyes him not freaking out and sits, drawing Jean onto her lap.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> None of us are dead either and Zeal isn't turning into one now. Sounds like a victory to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean snuggles against Zeal, holding onto her and quieting down. The bearoar sniffs, then flops against Zeal as well
* Zeal winces, and closes her eyes again, hiding her eyes.
<Kaelan> "Mmm... yeah. Moreso... can someone get my tools out of my bag?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to stand up and he looks around for her bag
<Kaelan> "In our tent." *she smiles a bit*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Right. 6He moves inside and after a moment later, comes out with her bag and sets it down by her
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes some of the leather straps that he's not using anymore thanks to his new armor and wraps it around his head, so that he's got an eyepatch(ho ho ho) of sorts. He tenses, tightning the strap as he ties it.
<Zeal> I-- ... am ashamed of myself. Forgive me. Everyone." 6She keeps her eyes hidden amidst her hair.
* Kaelan rummages and gets out the appropriate tools, shifting over to the chest. "Nonsense Zeal, you've nothing to be ashamed of."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances up then looks at Valen. 1"Is she being humble?"
<Kaelan> "Dahok? Can you hold this pick here?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe. While it wasn't wise to be out alone, things worked out in the end. We just have a few more wounds than before. Though considering the fight we avoided earlier, it could be have been worse.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances at Kaelan and nods, grabbing the pick and sits down next to the chest, slipping it in place.
<Zeal> I should be amongst the experienced, yet when placed amongst sir Lankin and lady Hilund, my naivity prevails. Eternally am I in their debts. Your pain and suffering is on my hands.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've always wanted to learn how to pick locks.
* Kaelan works the chest's lock open.
<Xanatos> <Valen> When the time comes, you'll repay any debt. I have faith in you in that regard.
<Kaelan> "This is more or less forcing a lock. I'm a blacksmith not a theif after all."
<Zeal> I am unworthy of faith or dependence." 6She mumbles.
<Kaelan> "Zeal... stop it. You're the woman who saved my life, I have every bit of faith in you still."
<DeathStar> 6* After awhile of banging on the lock, and using up a set, the lock is shattered.
<Zeal> That debt has just been set right, lady Di'Neer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok whistles a bit at that and he shifts to open it, leaning his head back
<DeathStar> 6* Inside is a human head, decayed and rotten, it's mouth open. Something appears to be in it
<Xanatos> <Valen> Instead of feeling unworthy, you should focus on becoming better. For everyone's sake. The same could be said to you Kaelan. 6He glances to her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok grimaces. 1"That's awful."
* Kaelan looks distracted by the head, then looks up at Valen. "H-Huh?"
<Zeal> I feel even guiltier for saying, yet this encounter has refreshed my memory on some of my life upon the plains.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok closes it again. 1"Valen this is all you."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and gets to his feet to peer into the chest. 1Hm. 6he glances to Kaelan. 1At the rate you're going, you're going to get yourself killed. Or someone else. You don't think. Please try to be more calm and observant from now on. 6He kneels to peer into the chest and the mouth treasure, slowly moving to pull it out, working to make sure it's not a trap to remove his fingers.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shakes his head as he gets up to give Valen the room to do his stuff.
<Kaelan> "Alright... you're right... I'm a little too headstrong." *she looks away from the chest, looking a bit sick*
<DeathStar> 6* Valen pulls out .... Tongue
<DeathStar> 6* Though something appears to be further in it
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6He sighs and drops the tongue, then shifts to lift the head up and try to shake the prize loose.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok keeps his head away from Valen. 1"So is a gem? A priceless artifact? Gold?
<Xanatos> <Valen> So far. A tongue.
<DeathStar> 6* The head is shook around, pieces of flesh and hair falling down; one eyeball pops out and plops down near Kaelan. Finally a pouch falls out of the head's mouth
* Kaelan blanches a little and lets out a squeal of shock, she then looks away, looking more embarrased then scared.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sets the head down and reaches out to check what's in the pouch. 1I wish a stream was nearby.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks in her sleep, and Rachael rushes out, completely naked and wet, sword drawn. "Another demon!?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's eyes go wide at the site of Rachael naked and wet
* Kaelan looks up at Rachael, further embarrased and shakes her head.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: sight
<Xanatos> <Valen> Just an eyeball. You should cover yourself.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes the head, looking ill again. She pauses, peering at herself, then retreates into the darkness of the cave again.
* Zeal sighs a bit at displays of nudity-- though not looking in her sulk.
<DeathStar> 6* The head's remaining eye stares at Kaelan
<DeathStar> 6* Inside the pouch is 50 gold and a red gem of unique shape and size.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok is quiet for a moment till he snaps out of it. 1"Did you find anythign yet and is the head put away?
* Kaelan shudders and looks deeply disturbed, before moving for the tent. "I-I think I'm going to go lay down..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Interesting. Some gold for our horse fund. And a gem...I wonder it's worth. 6He pockets the pouch and closes the chest. 1Yes it's away.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok lets' out a sight of relief and he turns to move over to Valen and peer at the gem
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe the gem will be worth 100 and that will cover a horse? 6he gives a slight shrug to Dahok, showing it to him.
<Kaelan> "One could hope!" *she calls out, then slips into the tent, she comes out a moment later and moves into the cave*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok squints at it. 1"A 100? This looks way to nice to be that cheap
* Zeal sits for a long time upright with Jean and the bearor, finally setting out her empty quiver as a headrest, trying to rest herself, though largely sleepless.
<Kaelan> "Hey Rachael...? Is any of that water left?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at KAelan approaching her bathing area.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Really? I'm not very good at identifying worth...I wonder if I got a fair deal for that sword.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We'll need the rest for drinking.
<Kaelan> "Oh.... alright. I'll just have to wait till we find more then." *she sounds softer then usual, she looks away politely*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at her, looking awkward at her being there, but then continues her bathing, working at her hair mostly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shrugs. 1"We should do some checking in on jewelry when we get to our destination. Maybe have Zeal draw a picture of it to ask a vendor what something like this would be worth without showing them it
<Xanatos> <Valen> That's a good idea. We'll figure something out when we get to the next place. Of course a smaller town would mean a smaller amount...right?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds right.
<Kaelan> "I-I'll just umm... leave you be. Sorry." *she moves to leave*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm just baseing it off it's size and shape.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Alright. Well. We should all try to rest and be on our way tomorrow. 6He puts the gem back in the pouch and sits down to stretch a bit, to keep from being so stiff.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That sounds good. 6He plops down to sit by the fire, leaning back a bit.
* Kaelan steps out of the cave, she sits down next to Dahok.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 4.1.2389
<DeathStar> 6* Morning comes and passes, with their injuries somehow keeping them down. When they wake, most feel better, though their wounds are still visible, and Kaelan's arm still broken. Jean is up, it seems, looking worn out, some dried blood under her nose. Rachael stirs, seeing it almost noon, and jerks, scrambling to shake Valen up
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a groan. 1W-What?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We slept longer than we intended.
* Zeal awkaens 'early' among the laterising group, trying to coax Baby to follow her out of the save to find a stream.
* Kaelan dozes still, laying next to Dahok, saying something gently in her sleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal would just be waking up at the same moment as the others.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snores
* Zeal stills does so!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a sigh and slowly pushes himself to his feet. 1Damn. We're never goign to make it to that town.
<DeathStar> 6* Baby nips Zeal
<Zeal> 6Zeal winces. 1"...P-Please, young creature."
* Kaelan curls up a little closer to Dahok. "5 more minutes...?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm sorry.
<DeathStar> 6* Baby eyes her, then romps on out
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snorts as she curls up and he rolls a bit.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Sorry? 6He glances to her with a confused look, gathering up his items.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to get the jerky out of the packages, dividing out enough for them all, then moves to put the pouches on Solomon. "I should have woken earlier."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean watches them all get up, then waves cheerfully, but tiredly
<Zeal> I would be but a fool to go alone once more." 6She pauses, then follows the bearor, smiling softly. Walking out with him she tries to scratch along his neck. 1"..Thank you." 6Outside she peers around, attempting to find a stream.
* Zeal pays attention to the ground for tracks unlike last time.
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit of searching, Zeal would find a stream...of blood. Kidding. Water.
<Xanatos> <Valen> We all slept late. 6He says as if that should be that, and moves to make sure the fire is doused and out, stamping it slightly.
* Kaelan slowly wakes, blinking a bit, she yawns and stretches a bit, careful of her arm.
* Zeal jerks, apparently seeing things at first, then puts a hand to her heart, taking a breath. She gazes around, then starts to strip herself of her equipment, clothing and undergarments, moving to bathe herself, making a face at the cold water.
<DeathStar> 6* Baby splashes in
* Zeal covers her face, blinking. 1"A-ah, you are supposed to watch..." 6She hrmphs. 1"...W-Well, whatever."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael finishes securing Solomon, then peers at Jean, making a face. "She bled again." 6* She moves over and takes a cloth to wipe at Jean's face
* Kaelan looks around and slowly crawls over to peek out of the tent.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances over to Jean. 1We need to be sure she doesn't push herself too much, it may cause damage. 6he moves to disassemble the tent.
<Kaelan> "What time is it...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael helps Jean up, who smiles and hurries off suddenly. Rachael jerks.
* Zeal takes her time bathing in the water, using it to also cleanse her thoughts.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snorts awake and he rubs his face as he peers around
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses. 1Jean. Wait. 6He 'orders' though it's a sleepy sounding command.
* Kaelan blinks and slides back into the tent, shaking Dahok gently. "Hey, wake up. We slept in."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael watches Valen get ignored, and she shakes her head. "She's probably heading after Zeal and the Baby. I heard them leaving."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Huh?
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...well so much for being commanding. 6He gives her a half shrug.
* Kaelan kisses his cheek. "Up. We overslept."
<DeathStar> 6* A naked Jean leaps in beside Zeal
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael gives Valen a smile. "You don't sound mean enough." 6* She says as a compliment.
* Zeal makes quite the girlish sound despite herself as well, then realizes who it is. 1".. L-Lady Al'ryl!!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok blinks a bit as she kisses his cheek. He rubs the back of his neck. 1"Right." 6He shifts to get up and grabs his stuff, setting it outside the tent
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, then splashes about the water
* Kaelan starts getting changed and then shifts her stuff out as well. "Gonna need help with the tent if that's alright."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh, I was just about to take it down now."
* Zeal sighs softly, then smiles faint, returning to her washing, her hair down and splayed across the water's surface.
<Xanatos> <Valen> And here I thought I thought I was. 6he lets out a breath dramatically, shifting to tie the tent to Solomon, petting him. 1Morning, friend.
* Kaelan blinks and smiles, she adjusts her blouse and steps out with her weapon belt in her good hand. "Alright then."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok gives her a smile back and he tears the tent down and bundles it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon looks for good
<DeathStar> 6* Jean comes up behind Zeal and grabs her from behind in a hug
* Zeal jumps slightly, then realizes she's reaching for a sword that's not there, her heartbeat jumping.
* Kaelan works her weapons belt on while Dahok packs the tent.
<DeathStar> <Jean> ... 6* She peers over Zeal's shoulder, and looks her over. "Zeal look whiter without clothes on."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael steps over to hand Kaelan and Dahok their share of the jerky, then eats her own
* Zeal tries to calm. 1"... Whiter, milady?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, pointing at her breasts
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok ties it tight and he stands up, grabbing his pack of things and the tent. He moves over to Solomon. 1"Hey Solomon." 6He then smiles at Rachael. 1"Morning."
* Kaelan smiles to Rachael and nods her thanks as she takes a bite. "We didn't keep everyone waiting did we?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sees if Solomon will eat some of his jerky.
* Zeal reddends slightly, blinking then sighs. 1"L-Lady, please be decent."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to put his stuff and the tent onto Solomons back and he takes the piece of jerky, eating it.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sorry.
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon eats it, getting a taste for meat. He eyes Kaelan now
<Xanatos> <Valen> People aren't food. 6He warns Solomon, holding out a berry, running low on them.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No. We all overslept
<Zeal> You should wash well, lady Al'ryl.
<Kaelan> "Oh... alright." *she smiles a bit* "I guess we were all exhausted fighting that demon."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then begins to wash Zeal
<DeathStar> 6* Solomon eats it up. Rachael finishes getting the deeretard ready, then climbs up on him.
* Zeal stammers. 1"I-- m-meant yourself, milady."
* Kaelan adjuts the sling, she stretches a bit. "I'm still good for walking though."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael feels about herself, then hands Dahok the last bit of herbs. "In case your burns act up."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses again, then sinks into the water to do so
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes the herbs. 1"Just rub it on?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Essentially.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I hope Zeal and Jean hurry.
<Kaelan> "Where do you suppose they went?"
* Zeal rises from the water step by step and begins to dry herself on the bank, sifting her hair with her comb.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'll remember that. Thanks. 6He smiles at her. 1"Sure it was wise they ran off with those raiders in this area?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Lets go check on them. 6* She urges Solomon forward
<Xanatos> <Valen> Probably not. But I can't force them to stay. 6He moves with Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* The group comes upon Zeal out of the water and combing her hair. Rachael waves at them. "Zeal. ARe you and Jean okay? We should set off. I set aside jerky for you."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok let's out a whistle.
* Zeal starts to dress. 1"Lady Al'ryl, we must be quick--" 6She jerks, then eyes Valen with Rachael and shrieks.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses. 1Ahem.
<Kaelan> "Oh good, they found water."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers off to the side at the first sign of a naked body, looking a bit red in teh cheeks.
* Zeal starts throwing rocks Dahok's way
* Kaelan looks over at Rachael. "Do we have something to hold water in?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks to move out of their way.
<Xanatos> <Valen> If you could get dressed the rest of us could rinse off before we leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean rises from the water, her hair blondeish again. She waves at the group. "You should all wash!"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We have pouches for water, yes.
<Zeal> Set your eyes elsewhere, beast!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok waves at Jean and he get's pegged, he rubs the spot it hit
<Zeal> Lady Al'ryl! Dry yourself and dress!
<Kaelan> "I should wash... still haven't. But we are already rather late in going."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Woh, no need to yell at her. 6He cringes a bit and he glances Valen. 1"We have anytime to do that?
<Xanatos> <Valen> We may as well. We're already running late as it is.
* Zeal rushedly dresses, completely flustered.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean jerks in a panic and begins to hurriedly get dressed, getthing things on wrong and backwrads
* Zeal sighs, moving over to help Jean correctly
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Perfect. 6He pulls his shirt off and begins to take his pants off as he hops towards the stream
<Zeal> Grah!
* Zeal averts her eyes, making faces
<Kaelan> "Alright then." *she sighs a bit at the two then works her sling off, she frowns a bit, needing time to get undressed*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well he's certainly not shy. 6He pulls takes his armor off and then the under leather for his shirt, moving to get in, still having the pants on.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean watches the two guys go by, blinking a bit, then turns her focus back onto getting dressed with Zeal's help. Rachael shakes her head at everyone, then shifts to move over with food for Zeal and Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Baby, meanwhile, attacks Dahok underwater, thinking there's a snake near him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok wades into the cold water naked and he begins to sit down, jerking a bit as the cold hits him. 1"Woo that's co...WOH!
* Kaelan eventually gets free of most of her clothes, staying in her trousers and a bra, moving into the water a little way aways from the boys.
* Zeal huffs angrily, bowing her head culledly for Rachael, then nibbles as she moves to look for herbs or anything to hunt near the stream.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen quickly rubs himself down, cleaning off any dirt, blood or what have you, then emerges back out, shaking like a dog.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok suddenly goes under completely to stare at Baby
<DeathStar> 6* Baby roars at him, but then yelps as that makes it swallow water. It runs out of the stream after Jean, yelping
* Kaelan takes a while, scrubbing clean with one hand.
<DeathStar> 6* As Zeal moves more than 10 feet away, monsters attack her, as usual. Kidding
<Zeal> NRP: ;_;
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok emerges, shaking a bit. 1"T-That was just odd."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen begins to pull his clothes back on, then his armor. 1Water is so refreshing. 6He mumbles to himself.
* Zeal takes it slow, peering upward and getting a vague idea for the soonest weather, the ground for signs of game passing. 1"...It has been so long.."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Until you're attacked by a baby monster. 6He notes as he steps out. He moves to start putting his clothes on
* Kaelan emerges after the others, moving over to her clothes. "It does feel good. Huh? You okay Dahok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pets Baby, who looks completely innocent
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances towards baby then Dahok. 1Bearoars don't like snakes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yeah, just a bit caught off guard. 6He pulls his shirt over. 1"Well I...Snakes?"
* Kaelan starts getting dressed again, she doesn't seem nearly as shy as Zeal.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean feeds Baby some of her jerky as usual
<Xanatos> <Valen> Scaley monster. Long and tube-like. Slithers. 6He makes the motion with his arms, wiggling it.
<Kaelan> "Sounds creepy."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds awful...Makes me not want to go in the water anymore. But you should see what's out in the seas.
<Zeal> <Zeal> Not just water. There are breeds of the sand.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Are there big snakes in the sea?
* Zeal returns from whatever she managed to find.
* Kaelan shudders, working her blouse closed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> None that I've come across.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I heard of beasts in the sea that are as massive as buildings.
<Zeal> They make a decent meal, and their skin is good weather-resistant material for gloves and boots.
<Kaelan> "I hope to never meet one then."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael seems awed at the idea of a massive sea creature
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I wonder if you could tame one, Valen
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You don't really want to see one, Rachael.
* Kaelan works the sling back on and slips her arm in it.
<Zeal> I have heard similar stories from those at ports, sir Lankin.. though I have thankfully never encountered one.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and gets a slight look. 1Maybe one day I can try.
<Zeal> I will gladly stick to snakes...
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 4.3.2389
<DeathStar> 6* 3 days of uneventful travel allows the group to slowly mend with their Angel's help. If Kaelan's bond is mending, it's hard to tell, unless they cut off her flesh to see. It is late, late evening after another long day of walking, and JEan is asleep on top of Solomon, and Rachael looks like she's nodded off, too, riding him. Jean's been mostly tired due to her healing
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Xanatos> 6* Valen trudges along, looking weary as he moves along.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok walks along his bo resting across his shoulders and his arms around them.
* Kaelan yawns a bit as she walks, her arm still in a sling.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Any idea's where we are, Valen?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms and glances around, evaluting the terrain.
* Kaelan looks about, not having a clue herself.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be mostly like it has been for the last 3 days - nothing consistent or interesting
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to pull out the map he borrowed and unfolds it, glancing it over
* Zeal seems a little weary, having sacrificed a little of her time to sleep to mend some new arrows, though they lack proper heads since that's Kaelan's department.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well. I believe we still have a ways to go.
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* There's thunder in the sky and clouds begin to move in from the north - dark clouds.
<Kaelan> "How much longer are we walking today... oh good, a storm."
<DeathStar> 6* Off to the east, there appears to be something n the landscape, but it's hard to make out. Not a city, but some establishment
* Zeal peers upward, eyeing them and trying to get an idea of how quick they'll be in deep shit.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Let's hope we can find some cover. 6he glances left and then right, pausing at the establishment. 1There. Let's check that out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers up and he folds the map up, shifting it away. 1"That looks like a good storm.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks awake, peering up, bleary eyed.
<Zeal> Be careful, sir Lankin. We cannot be sure of their intentions.
<Kaelan> "Better then nothing." *she yawns a bit* "...Who's intentions?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What's happening?
<Xanatos> <Valen> If anyone even lives there. 6He pats Solomon and begins to lead him east.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You should get more sleep Zeal, you're sounding a bit off
* Kaelan moves along as well with Valen.
* Zeal blinks at Dahok. 1"How so?"
<Zeal> For all we know, it could be a homestead of those raiders.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Very true. I can only hope that it's not.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Just sounds weird to say intentions when we haven't even seen aynone.
<DeathStar> 6* As they get closer, the dark clouds overhead begin to collect more, and it will surely rain in the next ten minutes. As they near, they can see what appears to be makeshift huts and houses, put together by people with clearly no idea of what they're doing architect wise. There appears to be about six buildings, spread out in a circular motion for defense.
<DeathStar> 6* There's no light source from the buildings, or movement
<Kaelan> "Better then staying out in the rain at least. But it looks like no one is home."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen halts the others and begins to creep forward. 1Hello? 6he calls out.
<DeathStar> 6* There's no response; in the center of the 'town' is a large cage, big enough to hold humans. Rachael peers about, frowning, then makes a face when a raindrop falls. Jean sits up finally, rubbing her eyes and yawning loudly
* Zeal eyes the cage, pointing it out to Valen
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...I don't like this place. 6He notes with a frown as he peers things over, nodding about the cage.
* Kaelan frowns a little. "I have a bad feeling about this." *she eyes the cage* "Weren't those bandits slavers?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs the back of his neck and he pulls his cloak hood up. 1"Maybe it's for criminals."
<DeathStar> 6* Baby roars a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers about, her blonde hair shiney and healthy again with the black dye gone. She seems to be peer at the cage in confusion.
* Zeal eyes Baby
<DeathStar> <Rachael> No one seems to be here... 6* She notes, peering at the houses looking deserted. There's no signs of tracks, either, as if the place hadn't been used in a week or so
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves for one of the huts, trying to peer in and see if it's abandoned.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You think it's safe then?
* Zeal shakes her head at the bear giving them away if anything, then moves slowly toward the center, trying to get a better look at the caging
<DeathStar> 6* There doesn't appear to be anyone inside. It looks as if it hasn't seen a woman's touch either
<DeathStar> 6* Baby follows, roaring more
<Xanatos> <Valen> I woul definitely say it's bandits. I wonder where they are.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Maybe it's one of the raider groups camps.
<Kaelan> "Some sort of getaway then?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> With pirates, it wasn't uncommon for them to have several retreats since they were constantly moving around.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Should we stay here? 6* The rain begins to fall harder now and the storm intensfying
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's probably a similar set up. A place to keep some of their captives and get some rest.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...I don't think we have much of a choice.
<Kaelan> "And this one hasn't been used in a little while... it could be high time for them to show. Maybe we should keep going."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> We might be able to find some food or something else valuable while we're here.
<Zeal> Someone will need to keep watch.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Of course
<Xanatos> <Valen> I will. Let's gather up in a building, if there's room.
<Zeal> I will.
<Kaelan> "Alright."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It'd be best if we take turns.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at the buildings, then picks the largest and moves into it after getting off Solomon. She steps in, shaking her wet body. She glances around - there's two beds, and room for a tent
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok steps in after her
* Kaelan looks around, stepping in behind Dahok.
<Zeal> It is an archer's duty to remain vigilante. I would prefer you all rest fully for tomorrow.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hops off and moves inside, glancing about with naive innocent. She looks at Zeal, then sulks. "Have nightmares if Zeal not near."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And have you be exhausted all day tomorrow? That's just foolish
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pats Solomon. 1Fine some shelter, friend. 6He slides in, kneeling by the door.
<Zeal> My only talents are when we are immobile. It is fine.
<Kaelan> "You need rest too Zeal."
* Zeal smiles to Jean weakly. 1"I will not be far."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Really? I know if I don't sleep for a day I have problems seeing straight at times
<Zeal> <Zeal> I will rest... on Solomon tomorrow." 6She makes a face. Still hating to ride.
<Xanatos> <Valen> We're taking turns Zeal. I'll be awake within a hour or so to relieve you. Alright?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves over to ration out more food and a rabbiter that was caught, and cook it. The storm intensifies as they talk, hammering down and leaking in at places.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves around the hut, looking through everything
* Zeal frowns, as if finding that evidence rather that she's untrustworthy.
* Kaelan smiles softly and takes a seat on one of the beds. She eats quietly.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves to sit down and leans his head back, apprently going to go ahead and try to get some sleep in, crossing his arms and tilting his head downward.
<DeathStar> -END-

<Kit> 6Zeal moves inside grumpily, having not wanted to give up watch.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gets up, probably sharing one of the beds with Dahok, she sits up to peer at Zeal, moving over to her quietly. She whispers, "How are you?"
<Kit> 6Zeal seats herself against one of the walls, wincing slightly, then blinks. 1"Kael-- why are you awake?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Haven't exactly slept well since Dad died..." *she admits softly* "...having Dahok or you around seems to help though..."
<DS[Hiss]> 6* Baby shifts and a bit so it looks like he's eating Jean's head in their sleep
<Kit> <Zeal> I see. You should rest.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I know that much..." *she looks down* "...I don't know what I'm doing."
<Kit> <Zeal> Staying awake.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No... you know what I mean. You're wrong Zeal, you're not the one lacking experience here, it's me." *she looks down at her arm still in a sling*
<Kit> <Zeal> I am afraid you have lost me.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You were beating yourself up earlier... Zeal..."
<Kit> <Zeal> Perhaps.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Sorry... I'm just... not in a good place lately." *she looks down* "It's my fault Dad's gone... isn't it?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Had you been obedient, he would still be living.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "So it is my fault."
<Kit> <Zeal> Pointless debate.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Y-Yeah... I..." *she looks a bit sullen now, holding back tears* "I... should rest..."
<Kit> <Zeal> If you listened, he would be alive, and you would both be dogs of an honorless man, driven to lives no better than lowborne servants.
<Kit> <Zeal> I am sure he would prefer to be alive, but there is no spite in dying for truth and something worth preserving.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Do.... you think he felt that way?"
<Kit> 6Zeal crosses her arms, gazing at the floor. 1"How should I know what he would have thought? If anything, I should imagine he would have preferred to see and speak to his daughter again before dying, no matter how such an end occured."
<Kit> <Zeal> That is the regrettable fact.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan seizes her in a sudden hug.
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, instinctively reaching for her swords on edge-- then relaxes. 1"..."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan just hugs onto her, shaking a little.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lets go, looking down. "Sorry... I just... I don't know who I am anymore. Adventure was supposed to be this big amazing thing... now it's..."
<Kit> <Zeal> The reality you were told it would be.
<Kit> 6Zeal frowns. 1"Though to consider this 'adventure,' milady, you fail to realize the gravity of our nature, I would say."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh, I realize the gravity all too well at this point Ze..."
<Kit> <Zeal> Do you, now?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We're travelling with the Angel, someone prophecized to bring about the end of the world. We're being hunted by anyone with a scrap of faith in the gods, and my father's been killed for it. You need to ask me that?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Had I kept my faith, I would have killed you long ago.
<Kit> <Zeal> Had I been anymore naive, I would have eaten you not long ago.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What are you getting at?"
<Kit> <Zeal> When the future is undetermined and one cannot face the past, live in the present.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Ah... good advice."
<Kit> <Zeal> At the present, you are wasting valuable sleep lamenting what cannot be undone.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods and looks at her again. "I'll go get some more rest then... thanks."

<DeathStar> 6* The thunderous rain pours down like drummers from hell. Rachael stirs in the tent she set up, while Jean sleeps on one of the beds with Baby.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan rouses a little, still not sleeping well, she huddles against Dahok a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael climbs out of the tent and moves to peer out to see if she can spot Valen, sighing with worry
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snores, not being bothered by the thunderous rain
<Kit> <Zeal> He is fine, milady.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Zeal. "If he were attacked, I fear we wouldn't hear it over the rain."
<Kit> <Zeal> I am remaining near his presence on the other side for that very reason. Should anything occur, my life is sparing for his.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan presses up close and hugs onto him a bit.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I see. 6* She doesn't seem to know how to respond, so she reaches up to brush a hand through her hair
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snorts and shifts to try and roll away
<Seraphna> * She lets him go, then makes a small squeaking noise and clings onto him on the next thunder roll.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok lays belly down, his face in his rolled up cloak.
<Kit> <Zeal> I only ask that you two watch over the girls should-- something happen.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Please do not speak that way. I don't like it. 6* She notes softly.
<Kit> 6Zeal smiles weakly, closing her eyes. 1"Very well, milady."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes the leaking parts of the ceiling, then moves to look out the window, looking worried still. Baby shifts so it's on top of Jean's head, looking like it's suffocating her
<Kit> 6Zeal remains still and silent for a while, perhaps having drifted to sleep, but then rises, moving over and gently shaking Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean wakes up, letting out a muffled cry of surprise at seeing only black - Baby's fur. She flails in a panic under him
<Kit> 6Zeal rubs Baby and shifts to move him aside
<DeathStar> 6 *Jean pants, sitting up, her blonde hair a mess from beinh under it. She winces as she sits up on it, due to it's length, then peers at Zeal, blinking
<Kit> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl...
<DeathStar> <Jean> Good morning, Zeal!
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
<Kit> <Zeal> Ah, it is not morning, milady, sorry to awaken you.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks in confusion, but smiles anyway. "Zeal couldn't sleep without Jean? Can join us!" 6* She shifts the big bearoar a bit to make room
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Milady." 6She looks serious. 1"Jean Al'ryl... are ye one of whom we call gods and goddesses?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused. "What's a god...dess?"
<Kit> <Zeal> This... other self ye became...
<DeathStar> <Jean> Other self? 6* She doesn't seem to understand what Zeal is talking about; Rachael peers over, curiously listening in
<Kit> <Zeal> Yes, lady Al'ryl. When you helped me... hunt that thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shifts to sit crosslegged, wearing her silk underwear and bra it seems. "Jean not remember. Was trying to heal Zeal, felt a darkness from the wound, and .... fell asleep. Then woke up in that scary cave." 6* She shivers
* Kogitsune has joined #TAW-Medieval
<Kit> <Zeal> Ye did not dream or nae?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, thinking. "I can't remember..." 6* She looks upset. "Did I do something bad while asleep?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Nae, milady.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to be struggling to remember something now, to make Zeal happy. Her brow furrows and her lips tighten in a grimace, but it seems to be getting her nowhere
<Kit> 6Zeal shakes her head and pats Jean on the shoulder. 1"Do nae worry yourself."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Did I do something? 6* She asks finally.
<Kit> <Zeal> Yes, indeed. Yet not anything to feel sad or worrisome over.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What did I do?
<Kit> <Zeal> Saved my life and soul.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, looking confused now. She offers a smile, though, and reaches over to hug Zeal. "I would try to save your life always! I didn't know I could save souls, though. What is that?"
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Something which I could not bear to lose." 6She pauses, then awkwardly embraces Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles softly while Jean beams since she apparantly helped save something precious to Zeal. <Jean> Then I will try to save your soul whenever it is in troubl. 6* She promises
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> I should hope that is... a rare experience.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. I will still try if it is not a rare one. 6* She notes in complete naivity
<Kogitsune> <Zeal> Heh... heh.." 6She looks a little ill.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, then pulls Zeal to sit with her, touching her and working on healing her so she doesn't feel ill
* Chad-Sleep has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Xan|Gone has joined #TAW-Medieval
* Chad-Sleep has joined #TAW-Medieval
* Chad-Sleep is now known as Chad`Winters
<Kit> <Zeal> What are you doing lady Al'ryl?
<DeathStar> <Jean> You look ill. 6* She focuses
<Kit> <Zeal> I am fine, I assue you. It is nothing that will be solved like that.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. Would a hug?
<Kit> <Zeal> Something tells me with you by my side, I will be hard pressed not to.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean tilts her head a bit, smiles, and gives Zeal a hug. She then pauses, reaches over to a pouch, and offers half af fruit she saved
<Kit> 6Zeal blinks, then holds up a hand. 1"It would please me more to see you eat it."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, peers at it, then brings it up to her mouth to eat at it slowly, as if putting on a show; then seems to enjoy it so much that she nibbles happily, forgetting the show part
<Kit> 6Zeal smiles softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean finishes, then smiles at Zeal. She leans in, suddenly very close to her. "Tell Jean more about where Zeal from."
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, leaning back slightly. 1"Oas? Or Sinas..? I--"
<DeathStar> <Jean> I'd like to hear about both
<Kit> 6Zeal frowns slightly. 1"I do not remember much of Oas. I was brought to Sinas young."
<Kit> <Zeal> Yet travelling like this-- I am starting to remember. Bit by bit.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Sinas. Sinas. 6* She repeats the two twice, to get it right, then peers at Zeal. "Are they good memories?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Sinai-- ..yes, I suppose I have good memories of that city." 6She crosses her arms. 1"Being called its desert rose certainly obligates me, does it not? Though I suppose the time of that name is over. I am simply a traitor.
<Kit> 6Zeal pauses. 1"In any case... It is a warm place."
<Kit> <Zeal> Amidst vast sand, it is build from clay pillars around an extravagant oasis. Luxuries are surprisingly easy to find in its market. I felt like I was discovering treasure just treading the streets each day.
<DeathStar> <Jean> It sounds pretty. Can we go there now?
<Kit> <Zeal> Sinai is across the sea, milady. It would be farther than any place thus far-- and unless we were to go immediately, I should doubt we would arrive before word of my abandonment.
<Kit> 6Zeal hangs her head. 1"All my darlings are forfeit.."
<DeathStar> <Jean> You have children?
<Kit> 6Zeal reels. 1"N-No, milady. I was referring to the orphans and unfortunate ones, of course!" 6She laughs nervously, since she was also speaking of her room, belongings and especially her bed full of limited stuffed animals.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh! We must go rescue them!! 6* She hops to her feet quickly
<Kit> <Zeal> H-Huh..?
<DeathStar> <Jean> The orphans!
<Kit> <Zeal> They will be fine, milady. I merely miss being able to visit them.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. ... okay . 6* Seh sits back down, then smiles at Zeal. "You're very kind to worry about orphans!
<Kit> <Zeal> I.. doubt that, milady. I enjoyed their company.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What were they like? 6* She asks, smiling more, thinking she'll hear stories of Zeal and kids prancing about the streets
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
<Kit> <Zeal> They are people, of course, all very different and from their own circumstances. I guess it is because we are similar that I feel a sense of belonging with those who do not.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Am I an orphan? 6* She muses, getting a sad face. "I can't remember a family."
<Kit> <Zeal> It remains to be seen, milady, however, you are not alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles. "Maybe you're my family!"
<Kit> <Zeal If that is milady's wish.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Momma Zeal. Daddy Valen! Sister Kaelan and Raquel. Brother Dahok
<Kit> <Zeal> 'M-Momma'?!
<Kit> 6Zeal gapes, peering at Rachael and the others. 1"Do I really look so old?"
<DeathStar> <JEan> No, you look beautiful, but you're definitely a momma! You take care of Jean.
<Kit> 6Zeal closes her mouth, looking thoughtful and peers to the side, blushing faintly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, hugging Baby. "And you're the baby!" 6* The bearoar stares
<Kit> <Zeal> ..Heh.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shifts to lay against Zeal, hugging onto her and closing her eyes
<Kit> 6Zeal slowly wraps both arounds around her.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean snuggles up a bit. "Jean know Zeal will also protect her."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits up after a bit and sighs, she looks down at Dahok and smiles a little, she starts to adjust her bandages.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok just snores in respons
<Kit> <Zeal> Of course, milady.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to settle into a happy sleep
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs and lays back to the side, resting her head on his stomach.
