<DeathStar> Location: Phan and Pher's Tavern
<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan and Dahok remain behind in the tavern.
* Kaelan looks over at Dahok, "Come now, it's not really your fault."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> No, I'm pretty sure it is. 6He shifts to get up.
* Kaelan gets up with him.
<Kaelan> "How? Zeal's the one that got her mad."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She left after I told her I had my eyes on her because I don't trust her.
<Kaelan> "She was already boiling over at that point. Zeal just went through this big deal about sticking with her then dumped her."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I doubt Zeal will see it that way. 6He grabs his ale and moves to leave after dropping some coins down for their food and what nots
<DeathStar> 6* The waitress steps in front of him, eyeing him stealing the tankard.
* Kaelan drops coins as well to pay for her meal and stretches, moving for the door. "Well, let's hope we can find the girl then."
<DeathStar> <Waitress> Are you planning to step out with that?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers down then at her, he rubs the back of his neck. 1"Sorry, a habit." 6He downs it quickly and hands the empty tankard
<DeathStar> <Waitress> People who plan to go visit the church shouldn't be stealing. 6* She chides, taking it
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hangs his head slightly at the chiding. 1"My sincerest apologies. maybe later I could make it up to you, buy you a drink."
* Kaelan smiles a bit and looks between the two. "Alright handsome, enough with the charm." *she takes Dahok's arm*
<DeathStar> <Waitress> Ah, you already have enough females on your team. Tell that other one I wish her the best at the church.
<Kaelan> "Church, right..." *she looks to Dahok* "Let's head there."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> But the best part about traveling is meeting people. 6He smiles at her.
<DeathStar> 6* The waitress shakes her head at him, probably having seen enough of his type, and moves on with the tankard
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think she likes me. 6He turns and starts moving to leave now
* Kaelan moves along with him. "You sure?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She never said no.
* Disconnected

* Set by DeathStar!Gilmore@238-169-82-209.planters.net on Thu Mar 11 22:13:44
<Kaelan> "I'll keep note of that. Saying no required then?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok walks along towards the church. 1"If they don't say no, then they leave the chance of a yes being in there sometime.
* Kaelan giggles, "You really have a strange logic Dahok."
* DeathStar has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* DS[Nap] is now known as DeathStar
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I just view life differently
<Kaelan> "Well, different isn't always bad... but isn't getting intimate with so many people dangerous? You were robbed last time."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She needed the money, no harm no trouble.
<Kaelan> "We all need money... but that's a bright way of looking at it." *she sighs and walks with him still* "I hope I didn't make a mistake."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not followin ya.
<Kaelan> "Oh, I was just thinking about the girl... I made a bit of a leap talking you down from killing her."
<DeathStar> 6* As they walk, and the sun begins to hide on the horizon, they can see the large tower of the church before them, a grand sight made of ice.
<DeathStar> 6* Around the tower is an ice wall of 10 feet, and three Templars stand guard at the entrance.
* Kaelan leans close and whispers, "You don't think they know about us yet, do you?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shrugs as he shifts his hands behind his neck. 1"We all have different beliefs. What it comes down to is wether you're ready to take the consquences if something bad happens.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at her and shrugs again. 1"Would've been better if Zeal did this since she knows the Templars inside and out."
<Kaelan> "I'm sort of hoping she already has."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> She was looking for Rachael so I doubt it
<Kaelan> "Wishful thinking, anyway, into the belly of the beast we go."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods and starts moving towards the three templars, looking around curiously
<DeathStar> 6* They eye Dahok, not budging, but speaking when he gets near. "State your business."
* Kaelan remains quiet, letting Dahok do the talking since he's being looked at.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Hey, I've been curious about the whole Templar thing for awhile now and was wondering about the various towers and buildings. Think it'd be any trouble to give me a run down of thue Church's buildings here?
<DeathStar> <Templar> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok makes a confused look then shrugs. 1"Can you tell me which way the church is?
* Kaelan looks down, witholding the sigh she wants to let out. She gently squeezes Dahok's arm.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses and looks at Kaelan. 1"Yeah?"
<DeathStar> <Templar> If you are looking for the altar of worship, it is that way two block. 6* He points westward
* Kaelan looks up at the Templar, "Sir, by any chance have you seen a young woman with brown hair wandering on her own?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Templar just stares at Kaelan.
<Kaelan> "I'll take that as a no. I was just wondering if she might have passed by this way. Thank you sir."
* Kaelan looks westward. "We'd better head to the church then." *she looks at Dahok*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods to the Templars. 1"Thanks." 6He starts moving westwards
<DeathStar> 6* The Templars watch them go, then back to their business of guarding the gate; the rest of the wall around the tower looks unguarded, for the most part
* Kaelan walks with him, letting out a sigh after they get away a little. "So what now, check out the church for real?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well we should probably find the others before making doing anything. 6He eyes the wall for it's height and what not as he walks along slowly.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peeks around an ice tree at the castle in the distance, separated from the town by 100 feet so that people can't use buildings to get near. A massive wall of ice, about 30 feet, surrounds the castle courtyard, with the entrance guarded by four Knights.
<DeathStar> 6* The castle itself is also massive behind it, made of all ice, and complete with two towers that are the highest points in the city
* Zeal frowns at the guards and sighs, crossing her arms and closing her eyes in thought.
<DeathStar> <Jean> What now? 6* She asks tiredly, shifting to lean against the tree, then shivers with a giggle before shifting against Zeal
* Zeal opens her eyes to peer at Jean. 1"... Are you... drunk, lady Al'ryl?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Nope!
<Zeal> Then why are you giggling?
<DeathStar> <Jean> Tree cold.
* Zeal facepalms.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean mimics the facepalm
<Zeal> I do not suppose you have any method of getting us over that wall?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, peering at it. She bites her lip, as if debating what to say. "Jean...could try..."
<Zeal> Try what?
<DeathStar> <Jean> To get us over all
<Zeal> How?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean wiggles her nose a bit. "Try to use abilities!"
<Zeal> Magic?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean puts a finger to her lip, thinking. "Not sure if magic. Jean could do before. But---not as strong as I use to be."
<Zeal> No. Another way, then. Come along." 6She re-shoulders her bow and moves across the snow to the center entry.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, then follows after Zeal as they move across. The Knights watch them, uber alert.
* Zeal holds up a hand in universal greeting. 1"Hail."
<DeathStar> <Knight> Ho, citizen. What business do you have?
<Zeal> I am a foreign hunter, as thou might discern of thy accent. Following thine mark lead me to follow a rumour-- one that tells ye might be holding the very one.
<DeathStar> <Knight> ... 6* They all exchange confused glances
* Zeal keeps a straight face, accustomed to remaining formal and calm in all situations. 1"Dost thee hold a halfling from this morn?"
<DeathStar> 6* Three of the guards eye Zeal, stone faced. "We don't know what you are talking about." 6* They state simply, while the fourth one eyes her.
* Zeal crosses her arms. 1"Strange. The market lass sings another song. Perhaps ye not have checked yet. Perhaps ye merely brought a strange lass adorned in furs?"
<DeathStar> 6* Three of the Knights eye each other, when the fourth steps up. <Knight> It is nearing the end of my shift; allow me to straighten this matter out. 6* He takes Zeal by the arm, and begins to move along with her back toward the town. Jean pauses, then follows
* Zeal creases her expression and looks a bit darker-- never having liked sudden contact.
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight, either oblivious or not caring, leads her along like a woman should be, speaking once a bit away. "And you are a hunter, then?"
* Zeal stumbles a second, uncrossing her arms as he does so. 1"Oi, I assure thou art mistaken in taking me for one led for thoust fancy."
<Zeal> I may have not thine license, yet employment is employment, no?
<Zeal> I shall take half over starving any manner of day.
<DeathStar> <Knight> And how much is this mark worth?
<Zeal> I believe that is thy business alone.
<DeathStar> <Knight> Answer me. 6* His tone leaves no room for anything else.
<DeathStar> <Knight> Or my business will conflict with yours. 6* He turns Zeal to face him now. He looks to be a youngish man in his mid-twenties
* Zeal faces him as well, still collected, but her eyes narrowed a bit, much like one who's protocol is being breached more, an inconvenience, rather than any nervous mannerism.
<Zeal> What business does a watchman have with a mark?
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight keeps his right arm on her left arm, his other hand on the handle. "Answer me, Hunter. Let me be clear. If I desire to say you began an incident that resulted in conflict, you will be the one to end in jail - with nothing to show for it.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses near the two, looking between their faces
<Zeal> I have no understanding of why ye would lie. My business is one of fewer coins than thou gains of a month of watching. The one I am following is merely one considered to take part of the responsibility for the death of a family member to thy client, a child. Ye might say thy heart is soft to the younglings.
<Zeal> Should she be property of thy lord, then there would be little for me to argue. I would merely need to confirm with my own eyes, and report her fate to the young.
<DeathStar> 6* As Zeal goes into her last line, a blow hits her stomach that she never sees coming, and her world blacks out.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Dahok and Kaelan!
* Kaelan sighs, looking around for the others as they walk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> The wall's looked easy enough to get over.
<Kaelan> "I could probably get over without even having to climb... but it's the others I'm concerned about."
<Kaelan> "Otherwise I think a wall of ice is going to be a problem to climb."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It'd be better to get over them at night anyways. I could hoist you over and then you can pull me up.
<Kaelan> "Well, we could use some rope to make it easier... let's head back to the inn, maybe Rachael went there."
<DeathStar> 6* As the two talk, they would see a lone Knight traveling the shadows and backways of the dark streets, now that it is night. It seems he's carrying two somethings
* Kaelan frowns, she taps Dahok and motions to the guard. "Suspicious."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok makes a face as he pauses, shifting a bit to try and catch a glimpse
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight has already moved on out of sight
* Kaelan moves the way the Knight went.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok rubs his face and he moves down the alleyways to try and follow
<DeathStar> 6* AS they reach the alleyway, the Knight would still be out of sight, having either taken a left, or a right
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You head left, I'll go right.
<Kaelan> "Alright then. Make noise if there's trouble." *she moves to the left*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok makes his way down the right now
<DeathStar> 6* As Kaelan travels, she'd find herself more and more out of the way, finally reaching what appears to be a drainage ditch of sorts cut into the ice, filled with icy sludge that isn't completely frozen over. The Knight is kneeling next to it, having two bodies next to him that Kaelan can't make out. The Knight seems to be thinking hard.
* Kaelan attempts to sneak up closer towards the Knight.
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight reaches over and slaps the face of one of the people, and they stir, and Kaelan would hear JEan make a fuss and squeal. The Knight quiets her, then begins to talk in a low tone Kaelan can't make out
* Kaelan slides her dagger out as quietly as possible and makes her way up behind the Knight.
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight draws his sword and spins around, the blade out and knocking her dagger from her hand, then he steps forward, about to gut her - it would seem unlikely she will be able to dodge.
* Kaelan summons a wind shield as she tries to dodge out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, who was struggling to untie herself, sort of pauses with a tired look. The Knight eyes Kaelan now, a hand on his blade. "I see." 6* He says, as if understanding something
* Kaelan steps back once as she draws her sword, narrowing her eyes. "You see do you?"
<DeathStar> <Knight> Then you are the Angel. 6* He notes to Jean, without taking his eyes off of Kaelan. "I suggest you place down your weapon, m'lady, or I will be forced to take action against the two behind me. As they are defenseless, I could strike the angel through the heart before you struck me. If you are truly with her, then you would not want that, yes?"
<Kaelan> "What's to stop you from striking her down anyway? What were you planning to do with them?"
<DeathStar> <Knight> I will not ask again. Your one friend made that mistake already.
<DeathStar> 6* Knight indicates Zeal
* Kaelan frowns and tisks at that, she slowly starts to lower her weapon to the ground, other hand out to show she's not going to strike him. "Alright, let's talk."
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight doesn't move, clearly waiting for her to set it on the ground. "Once it is on the ground, take one step back, and one step to the side"
* Kaelan sets it down, then takes the steps back and to the side as told. "Alright, just don't hurt them."
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight nods, then steps back over to Jean, walking backwards to face Kaelan. He then leans over and lifts her up gently with his free hand, stepping away from Zeal. "Wake the other one up."
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight takes a moment to glance at Jean's eyes again, looking a bit wary.
* Kaelan nods and moves slowly over to Zeal, keeping her distance, not wanting to distress the man at all. She moves to Zeal and starts to shake her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zeal would wake up
* Zeal groans, squinting.
<Kaelan> "Got yourself in another mess Zeal... okay, she's awake, now what?"
<DeathStar> <Knight> So, the half-elf my lord was part of your group. The Angel's group. 6* He notes, as if waiting for clarifaction.
<DeathStar> *has
<Zeal> <Zeal> ... Why in the world do you know that?
<Kaelan> "I had to use magic."
<DeathStar> <Knight> The angel has blonde hair. Different colored eyes. I was already about to ask her for confirmation before your friend here attempted to attack me.
* Zeal glares, a hand to her stomach. 1"He knocked me out, yet I said nothing of relation. He knew beforehand."
<DeathStar> <Knight> I did not know beforehand except that you were lying. And I had to eliminate any threat that might expose the half-elf's location.
<Kaelan> "You looked like you were threatening my friends."
* Zeal glances to Jean, then sighs, shaking her head. 1"So he noticed lady Al'ryl."
<Zeal> Why is the half-elf suddenly a secret?
<Kaelan> "...Good question, what's your interest in Rachael?"
<DeathStar> <Knight> Before that--- where are the other two males that are suppose to be in your group?
<Zeal> I have no idea.
* Zeal shrugs, getting to her feet. 1"In honesty."
<Kaelan> "Dahok's in the alleys back the way we both came, I can call for him."
<Zeal> <Zeal> There is only one, by the way. You must have outdated information."
<DeathStar> <Knight> Do so. 6* He seems to believe them.
* Kaelan looks back and calls out, "Dahok!"
<DeathStar> <Knight> And in the future, if you plan to lie to someone, become better at it. 6* He notes to Zeal.
<Kaelan> "And if you're going to go storming a castle to rescue someone bring your friends..."
<Zeal> Do not lecture me. I have no interest in deceiving people. I only do what I must.
* Zeal frowns. 1"The circumstances of my life have changed-- not me."
<DeathStar> <Knight> Then in the future, when asked a question, simply answer it. When you become too wordy and .... overcompensate, people will see through your words.
<Zeal> I was adressing you how I would have addressed my own unit and commander.
<Kaelan> "She's... too honest a knight for her own good, I'm afraid."
* Zeal gestures. 1"Hence my change of words."
<Zeal> All people are due respect until lost.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean believed Zeal!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok's foot steps can be heard running in then slowing to a stop. 1"...Well this doesn't look like it turned out well."
<Kaelan> "Trust me, it could be worse. This is everyone we have at the moment sir."
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight peers at Dahok, sizing him up. "I believe you." 6* He tells Kaelan. "Had you lied, then we wouldn't be having a conversation now."
* Zeal peers toward Dahok's voice, shrugging again. 1"I know where lady Rachael is-- I do not know her circumstances."
<Kaelan> "I guessed as much... I'm a terrible liar myself actually."
<Zeal> Perhaps this man will tell us, perhaps not. It seems he favors honesty even more than I do-- and can tell that honesty one to another.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So how is it that...6He looks at the Knight as if for something to call him by.
<Kaelan> "A combination of circumstances, Dahok. However I notice he hasn't started killing us outright, so I'm thinking we should listen to the man."
<DeathStar> <Knight> Now. My lord would like to speak to you all. I am going to let the angel go. Follow me. If you attack me, or run off, then you will not get out of the capital alive. 6* He unties Jean, then unhands her, sheathing his sword
<Zeal> Speak to us..? How does your lord even know of us?
<Kaelan> "No problem, I'm going to get my weapons and put them away, you can watch me if you wish."
* Kaelan slowly moves over to get her sword.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Knight guy it is. 6He looks at Zeal then at the Knight. 1"You must be pretty good."
<DeathStar> <Knight> Your adventures have not gone unnoticed. We know of your actions in Kar; our people can travel the land faster than any other, so not even Church agents have arrived from Kar yet.
<Zeal> Makes sense. Such as my unit upon the sands. I know how to travel this weather, but I cannot say I am acclamated or fond of it. Yours must be something...
<Kaelan> "Is that good or bad?"
<DeathStar> <Knight> Plus the King has taken the three elves that aided you. My lord, the Prince, managed to get ahold of your half-elf companion first.
* Kaelan sheaths her sword and collects her sword-breaker.
<Kaelan> "She hasn't been harmed has she?"
* Zeal furrows her expression a moment. 1"I ... take it your lord, the Prince, has a different opinion of things than thy King."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to rest his hands behind his neck now. 1"You alright, Jean?"
<DeathStar> <Knight> So when we enter the castle, speak nothing of any matters to anyone unless I direct you that is well. And yes, my lord does. And no, your companion is fine. We would not hurt a companion of the angel needlessly
<DeathStar> 6* He turns and begins to move now. Jean rubs her wrists a bit to get feeling back, nodding
<DeathStar> <Jean> Knight move fast and Jean went sleepy sleep.
<Zeal> Hm. Secrecy-- the King does not know. Does he?
* Kaelan nods and moves over to check on Jean. She puts an arm around her to help her. "Let's follow him then, if he moves fast."
<DeathStar> <Knight> No. He does not. If he were to find out, your half-elf would be taken by him, and you all would be dead.
<DeathStar> 6* He begins to move briskly through the alleys.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well as long as you're not injured, these guys seem decent
* Kaelan leads Jean along, supporting her if she needs help.
<Kaelan> "It'd be nice to get some honest support for once. Let's do as he says and be quiet now."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods cheerfully
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds like a good idea.
<Zeal> I am afraid that goes against my very fiber. I have no interest or need in meeting any kings, so it would seem we share a matter of wanting right now..." 6She relaxes slightly, moving to jog practically after him. 1"Tell me, what is most important to you, sir knight?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight doesn't glance at Zeal, keeping his gaze constantly alert as he leads through back towards the castle. "I am but a tool for my lord." 6* He notes simply.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That doesn't sound very fun.
<Zeal> Fealty." 6She muses. 1"Honesty, fealty. You are a knight through and through." 6She glares at Dahok. 1"Hold your tongue."
* Kaelan sighs a little and hugs Jean a bit as they move along.
<Zeal> Kael, it may be wise to hide her gray eye.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, looking down shamefully
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok seems to ignore Zeal as he peers ahead. 1"Well atleast he seems like an alright guy."
* Kaelan pulls Jean's hair a bit forward gently over her eyes. "Good idea. Try to avoid eye contact for now okay Jean?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses as she gets an Erevis look, but nods
<Zeal> Hm. She resembles me like that." 6She stares back at Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the central gate, with four new Knights at post; their Knight steps forward. "These are the mercenaries that Prince Arcane called for." 6* He seems to purposely avoid specifying what they were called to do
* Zeal salutes loosely, a hand to her breast.
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight leads them through the courtyard, complete with beautiful ice sculptures that look real
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances over at the ice sculptures with a curious look
* Kaelan keeps a relaxed arm around Jean. "Pretty sculptures."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods. "They look so beautiful. That one looks sad." 6* She points at a sad faced woman ice statue
<Kaelan> "I wonder why..." *she gazes at it thoughtfully*
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight leads them through the courtyard. "Some of these were carved over a thousand years ago, carved to resemble the royal family of the generations."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> These have been around for over a thousand years?
<DeathStar> <Knight> The oldest ones.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That's amazing.
* Zeal pauses at that and starts to peer among them.
<DeathStar> 6* He leads them to the second tower and east half of the castle. Jean waves at the sad one, who looks like it was a princess around 16 or 17
<Zeal> Why... was that one so melancholy?
* Kaelan gives Jean a comforting hug. "I'm sure she wasn't always sad."
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight puases, glances back at it. "That was Princess Ayarina. She fell in love with a commoner, and her father sent him to war with Nuege. He died in the battles."
<DeathStar> <Knight> She died of heartbreak.
<Kaelan> "O-Oh..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Poor girl. If I only I was around a thousand years ago.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks sadder now, visiblely upset.
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight eyes Dahok, a look of anger there at his words.
<DeathStar> 6* He turns, moving on for the castle silently again, and it's clear he'll be speaking no more
* Kaelan hugs Jean comfortingly. "Don't be sad Jean..."
<Zeal> That was... very improper, sir Fyro. Even for you.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Dahok, then down, moving along quietly now
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> For wanting to cheer her up?
<Zeal> To imply fraternizing with royalty-- know your place.
* Zeal shakes her head. 1"Even beyond that... princesses are oft the beloved icons of their people."
<Kaelan> "I don't think he meant it as such... let's forget it alright?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You assume too much.
<Zeal> Do I...? Were you to ask any of us who would understand these things the most-- do forgive me.
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight enters the castle, and leads them through an eleborate waiting room for royality wishing to get in, waving the servants off with a hand. Their clothes are made of silk unlike anything the group has encountered.
* Zeal becomes distracted at that, eyeing them.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers around at the silk and he shifts to rest his hand behind his back.
<Zeal> A-ah...
* Kaelan seems to not notice them, her concerns still on Jean, she keeps comforting her as she walks.
<DeathStar> 6* Leading them through the waiting area, he turns and moves up a set of stairs once entering a smaller area where people meet the royality, a trio of chairs set up - this area seems smaller than it should be, so perhaps it's not the main throne area.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers about the large room now, blinking as she looks at it all; the walls are filled with paintings by famous painters, and a large crystal chandilere is on the top, with glowstones shining brightly
<DeathStar> 6* The air is also warm in here, and it would feel comfortable, like spring in Navarro
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to peer at the paintings, tugging at his collar a bit since he's dressed for the weather outside
<Kaelan> "How do they keep it so warm with all this ice... it's amazing..."
<DeathStar> <Knight> With the furnaces.
<DeathStar> 6* The walls, despite being made of ice, radiate no chill
<Kaelan> "Furnaces? How do you keep the walls from melting?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> This entire castle is just...no words for it. 6He touches the wall with his hand
<Zeal> Impossible...
<DeathStar> <Knight> The furnances are made with ancient technology the church allowed Nuege to use.
<DeathStar> <Knight> They warm without melting.
<DeathStar> 6* He leads them up to a second floor, then down a hallway - a beautiful red carpet is laid out on the floor as they walk along, so they are not walking on ice
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok glances over at the knight and nods as he moves to catch up
<Kaelan> "Amazing... are they typical in how they burn wood? I've worked a forge my whole life and we've never been able to control the heat flow so well."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean tries licking a wall curiously, and seems happy her tongue doesn't stick like it did in the caverns when she did it
<DeathStar> <Knight> They do not burn wood.
* Kaelan giggles a bit at Jean. "Oh... are you able to tell me what they do burn?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Jean and laughs.
<Zeal> Hm. Why would the church allow anyone to use ancient technology..? Does Nuege have leverage of some kind?
<Kaelan> "It must not be a threat to anyone."
<DeathStar> <Knight> Perhaps another time. 6* He steps up to a door guarded by Knights, who step aside with no questions unlike the others, and he enters the second massive tower, which is as large as an inn in width. Other Knights can be seen on the lower floor, but their Knight moves to the stairs, moving up
* Kaelan follows after the man.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers to look down at the lower floor and then up as he walks up the stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* After traveling many flights, each floor prestine and rich - some seem to have servants living there, one floor has a kitchen staff, another the door is shut, but females can be heard, the next to last one they can see what appears to be a massive tub area, made of crystal. Jean stops and peers in, wide eyed
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers over at the sound of females then over a the tub, letting out a whistle. 1"What's this for?
* Kaelan pauses and looks in with her. She stares. "That's... oh wow."
<Zeal> W-Wow.." 6She looks dreamily at the bath.
<Kaelan> "Bathing I guess. Royalty has it good."
<DeathStar> <Knight> It is where the Prince bathes, as well as his guests.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> ...We're guests right?
<Zeal> It makes me miss the oasis hotsprings.
<DeathStar> <Knight> That is to be seen. 6* He notes simply, not bothering to lie.
<Kaelan> "Hotsprings? I miss hot water."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts his posture a bit and he adjusts his clothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps staring in; the Knight pauses, peering back
* Kaelan smiles and gently leads Jean on. "Come on, we might get to use it later if we're good."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think I could die happily if I got to bathe in that once.
<DeathStar> 6* As Jean is led along, the Knight moves up to the top of the tower; a window is there, allowing them a view of the ice city below. Up here, the glittering seems almost touchable
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers out the window and let's out another low whistle. 1"This is quite the city.
<Kaelan> "This entire palace is one amazing sight after another... makes me glad for my good fortune."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at Kaelan, looking surprised
* Kaelan hugs Jean a little at those words. An obvious thanks.
* Kaelan smiles. "That I can see it."
* Zeal sniffs. 1"Sinas is like this."
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight knocks on the door, then speaks. "My liege. It is I, Kyle Lambert, sire. I have brought the people you wished to meet."
* Zeal peers over. 1"Sir Lambert." 6She notes, as if having caught him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sinas is a city made entirely out of ice?
* Zeal ignores Dahok, crossing her arms.
<Kaelan> "I believe she meant in terms of beauty... though this is impressive as far as I've seen."
<DeathStar> 6* A voice speaks through the door. "Bring them in, Kyle!" 6* The Knight pauses, peering at Zeal, then opens the door to an elaborate area - the initial room seems to be the equivalent of a living room, complete with furniture made of fine silk - a couch, a chair, beautiful paintings and bookcases; there are three doors on the other end, one opened to reveal what seems to be a bedroom (cont)
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I know. 6He winks at Kaelan then peers inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Sitting on the chair is Rachael, dressed in a silk dress it seems, made of the same fabrics as the servants, and another young man in his mid-twenties, with shoulder length brown hair, and dressed in fine clothing as well. He appears to be holding a glass of wine, and Rachael as well
<DeathStar> 6* The man steps over to them all, pausing before Jean. He sets down the glass onto a crystal table, and takes her hand, bringing it to his lips. "Lady Angel."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, looking like a deer in headlights, unsure how to react.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Rachael. 1"Rachael, you look like...wow?"
* Kaelan smiles warmly at the sight of Rachael, she then reguards the man carefully. She leans in and whispers to Jean.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks over; her hair is styled so her ears are showing, probably not by her choice; it is in a ponytail.
<DeathStar> <Jean> T-Thank you for his hospitality.
* Kaelan jerks a little.
<DeathStar> 6* The prince pauses, then laughs with amusement.
* Zeal steps around Kyle and the prince, moving toward Rachael.
* Kaelan smiles in relief and nods to Jean approvingly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You alright, Rachael?
<Kaelan> "She doesn't... appear to be in distress."
<DeathStar> 6* The prince lets her hand go, motioning them in toward the couch. "Please sit. Mercy!" 6* He calls out, and one of the doors opens and a beautiful maid steps out with red hair. She moves over with a tray of food and more wine, setting it down
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I am fine. A bit... drunk. 6* She notes, a rosey look on her cheeks.
* Zeal approaches her and lifts a hand to her cheek, leaning in to examine her face. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Sit. Eat . Drink. I imagine you have had a long journey.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the red hair girl and then the tray of food, his eyes going wide as can be. 1"We were worried something horrible happened to you."
<Zeal> Interesting. You can even drink in such a ... situation.
<Kaelan> "Terrible. They dressed her in fine clothes and fed her royal wines. Glad we rescued her." *she smiles jovially and moves to the couch, leading Jean gently*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The prince insisted. The food is very good, too.
* Zeal frowns a bit. 1"Or did you drink because it was such a situation...?"
<DeathStar> 6* The food seems to be that of what would cost them hundreds of coin to order.
<Kaelan> "His Highness is most generous." *she curtseys to him and takes a seat*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to the food, eyeing it all. 1"I-I've never had food this fancy before."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks confused. Kyle moves over to stand nearby, hands locked together in front of him.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Then eat your fill. Please. And you must be Lady Zeal, of the Templars. 6* He notes to Zeal, facing her.
<Kaelan> "I've watched food this fancy, smelled it, never tasted it." *she takes a glass of wine and some cheese*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok starts grabbing some food and putting it on a plate. He looks at Kyle. 1"You want anything?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy stands nearby as well. "If it does not meet your fancy, sires, then I will be glad to go to the kitchen for anything you wish."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I am fine
<Kaelan> "Oh this meets my fancy twenty times over. Thank you Mercy."
* Zeal jerks just slightly, peering over her shoulder toward the prince from Rachael, then closes her eyes a moment, rising and turning, bowing her head. 1"Indeed, thy highness."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks over at Mercy. 1"How about you? You hungry?"
* Kaelan rolls her eyes gently and smiles at Dahok.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> You are everything I imagined. 6* He notes with a charming smile, though not as cheesy as Dahok's. He has more charisma.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I-I am fine, my lord.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Dahok's fine enough for me. 6He gives her his apparently cheesy but charming smile.
<Kaelan> "Kaelan here. I'm no lady."
<Zeal> Imagined..? Thou heard of me, thy highness?
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sips some more wine, swaying slightly. Jean sits down adn eagerly eats some cheese and some fish only rich can afford
<DeathStar> 6* Then tries the wine
<Kaelan> "He knows about all of us."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Indeed. Your name is spreading amongst certain circles for your actions in Navarro.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok starts eating some of the food. 1"How about ale? I'm not much of a wine guy."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Of course, Lord Dahok. 6* She bows and moves quickly out the door for the kitchen
<Zeal> Certain ... circles, my lord?' 6She seems to sulk slightly.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Nobility. The Church. I imagine soon the Church will be here offically to warn us of the Angel headed this way.
* Kaelan leans over to Dahok, "Hear that? Lord Dahok?" *she says it with a breathy tone*
<DeathStar> 6* Arcane moves to take a seat in a chair
* Zeal seems to tch, then scowl. 1"Nobility-- I would refuse that man's hand again, regardless."
<Kaelan> "Man...?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok turns to look at the others then at Kaelan, shrugging. He looks at Arcane. 1"I have to ask, how is it that you're able to hear such things so fast?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean happily eats some crackers
* Kaelan peers over at Zeal curiously.
<Zeal> I have no interest in what would be obtained out of thy own hands. To lie upon such offers." 6She fumes.
* Kaelan offers Jean a bit of her cheese.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> We have people in Navarro, who sent word to our agents that were in Kar, watching the situation. We were unsure how to handle the situation, when you all happened upon it. Imagine, even the gods appearing and restoring Kar. Since I learned of it yesterday, I knew your group would have to arrive either today, or tomorrow yourselves. It is hard not to spot a group such as yourselves
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> That, and my father has technology that identifies half-elves. After capturing the elves, and them mentioning a half-elf was in your group, I had my people searching for Lady Rachael first.
* Zeal mumbles. 1"Would sooner marry a thatcher than a bishop deceiving people to obtain me like some decoration of looks than accomplishment."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> They mentioned her?
<DeathStar> 6* Arcane peers at Zeal, amused at her mumbling.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Yes. 6* He looks back, and Jean takes the cheese and combines it with her crackers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Did they mention me? 6He peers curiously at him
* Kaelan tilts her head. "You... don't think we caused the situation at Kar then?"
* Zeal walks to a window, crossing her arms again and peering outside, staying closer to Rachael than the couch or food.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> It was mentioned that there were two males in your group. One blind girl. A templar, who is Lady Zeal. Another templar male. And, of course, the Angel herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nibbles some cheese quietly; Mercy arrives with a bottle of the finest ale, and moves to pour a glass for Dahok
<Kaelan> "The other templar left us, one of our males died, Dahok's the other male, and I would be the blind girl."
* Zeal pauses, speaking from her stance. 1"The other man was not identified...? He was not a templar."
* Kaelan pauses, then looks down as she realizes what she blurted out, in the middle of it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> But no real mention of me specifically? Damn.
<DeathStar> 6* The prince looks at Kaelan, then Zeal
<Zeal> Kael, at that point in time, we only had two men-- sir Fyro and the one they think is a templar.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> I see--- you do not look blind anymore, however. The angel, I persume?
<DeathStar> *presume
* Kaelan nods slowly. "Yes."
* Zeal shakes her head quietly, then adds. 1"Which is well. I am happy he was not made known."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok hmpfs a bit then smiles at Mercy. 1"Thank you beautiful."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Well, worry not. I will not speak of this may-or may not be- templar.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows and steps back, fidgeting with her silk maid outfit
<Zeal> I shant worry-- as I will not identify him any more than I have.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> May I ask what your purpose is here in Nuege?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes a drink of the ale then pauses. 1"We're following...what are those called again?" 6He looks at Kaelan
<Kaelan> "Prophecies."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok snaps his finger. 1"Yeah, some prophecies."
* Zeal sighs a bit.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> The prophecies regarding the angel, I presume.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok nods. 1"Supposedly this area is what's next."
<Kaelan> "Yes. We hope to prevent them."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Hm, not quite. I believe the next area is actually an island west of here.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> There's could be some more prophecies in the Churchs library too.
<Kaelan> "Well... one spoke specifically of coming to this area... I think."
* Kaelan looks to the others.
<Kaelan> "It was... coming to Nuege would start a conflict of man against man, wasn't it?"
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Hm, I see. So you are wanting to get into the church's library? That is no easy task. Even I have to go through quite the paperwork to be allowed in there.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle peers over at Arcane at that, and Arcane at him
* Kaelan pauses. "T-To be fair, we didn't know that one till we got here."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at them all quietly, shaking her head a bit
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> There's a prophecy about another plague or something like that too.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> I take it, then, you are seeking more information about your travel companion, the angel. And to do this, you want to get into the church's library.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Ah, the three prophecies of Nuege. We can already agree one has occurred. The unseen death in Kar.
<Kaelan> "Aye! I thought that too."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It would be nice. Wether they're prophecies are just coincidence, we want to do what we can to stop them.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Then there is the one where the Angel's travels will cause the earth to swallow men whole and leave no trace of them.
<Kaelan> "We've seen that one too."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> That was the other one 6He nods
<Kaelan> "I think."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> As I said, I believe that one will happen to the west.
<Kaelan> "The monster we umm... encountered, in Kar."
<Zeal> Hm. Sounds like a sinkhole...
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Which we defeated but I don't think that's what it referred to.
<Kaelan> "Oh... wishful thinking."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Which I helped defeated. 6He notes proudly
<Zeal> This area is so cold, however. Is there something else that could occure..?
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Well, I have read a little about the prophecies. To the west of here is an island where extensive ruins have been found.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Near Seren right?
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> The church maintains their stranglehold on the ruins, as always.
<Kaelan> "We should check it out... I suppose. Maybe not going there would prevent it?"
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Yes. You would need a ship to reach it; our port on the mainland is in Eira
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean have to go there. 6* She notes with a drunken sigh, having gotten into the wine
* Zeal peers over, sighing at Jean now, too.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then we need to get a ship. Luckily I know a very talented captain.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pauses then lets out a loud sigh. 1"We forgot someone."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> I would like to help you. But I would also seek help.
<Zeal> Baby.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Yep. Poor guy's going to be so mad at missing out on all of this.
<Kaelan> "What do you need?"
<Zeal> I think he will manage... somehow. He is smarter than he lets on.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm all about fair trades
<Chad`Winters> 6He looks at the prince curiouslly
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Let me tell you of my situation, and see if we can agree to help each other. If you are going to survive your journey, you will need some powerful friends.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> You know of the situation between Nuege and Navarro?
<Zeal> No offence, thy lord... yet as you begin to speak.
<Kaelan> "The long standing... upset?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok takes a drink from his ale. 1"something about a stand off."
* Zeal turns, bowing because she's interrupting. 1"This already sounds terribly like the prophecy, does it not?"
<Kaelan> "I was figuring it might be."
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> I will not lie. It will likely be tied into the third prophecy.
<Zeal> Fate it may be, I still ...want no part in starting a war of men. That... upon my conscience..
<DeathStar> 6* He leans back.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And you're ok with that possibility?
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> You have not let me speak my part yet. Such a question would best be asked after I said my part, wouldn't it?
<Kaelan> "Please go on your Highness."
<Zeal> Forgive my intrusion.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Good point.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> I hold no love for the Church and how it keeps a stranglehold on knowledge and technology. The people of Nuege are left in ignorance, because our Bishop is stricter than most. The Church's power overseeds even a King's. If they wanted, they could have me killed and answer to no one. In reality, the royal family doesn't even run the country.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Having said that, now let me go into what I wish to discuss
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to grab a bunch of fruit and puts it on a plate then casually sets the plate in Jean's lap
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Navarro is gaining strength every day, and it's content to be the arm of the church. It has already made the point of destroying your group the country's entire crusade. So that when it is the one to end your lives, it will gain even more power and favor with the gods. Navarro is currently your greatest threat outside the Church and the gods.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then begins to eat happily, gourging herself unladylike
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok smiles at Jean then looks over at the Prince again
* Kaelan sets the barely drunk glass of wine down next to Jean as well. She listens intently.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> I have made it a point to try to convince my father if we are going to ever defeat Navarro, it must be now. During these times. Before Navarro becomes unstoppable. Or becomes the next empire. He doesn't wish to go to war yet, so he has been biding his time. He has been researching magic - by capturing elves and half-elves and dissecting them to see if he can find the source of their power
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> He wishes to wait until he has learned magic before attempting to lift a hand against Navarro. By then, it will be too late, and many elves will be dead. And halfings.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok eyes the prince at the word dissect.
* Kaelan blanches a little, staring. "H-He what!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael silently eyes her wine, probably having already discussed this with Arcane
<Chad`Winters> 6Then makes a face after hearing the dead thing
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Elves he does not kill, he is attempting to brainwash into becoming Nuege warriors. Perhaps in time he'll give up dissection entirely and just kidnap and brainwash an army of elves. I am guessing neither scenaro sets well with you?
<Kaelan> "Aboslutely not."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Not at all.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> While I hold favor with the majority of the nobility in Nuege, if I were to act against my father, I would lose their support. That is why I need your help - you have magic, powers, and since you have no offical ties, you could stop my father. Once I became King, I could stop Navarro's advancement, and provide you all aid. I could get you a ship and crew, help you reach the ruins you seek.
* Zeal remaisn quiet, frowning and peering back out the window.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> And if you wish to aid me directly in the days to come, I would aid you directly when the time came as well.
<Zeal> We hold no ties, so we are... the perfect assassins, you mean." 6She lingers. 1"...My lord."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stops eating to look.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So what you want from us is essentially to...well..6He makes a motion, of slitting a throat. 1"To your father?"
<Kaelan> "...I think I understand why it was called Man against Man now."
<Zeal> Indeed. Thou art no boy, thy prince.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> Yes. That is what I am asking of you. I will not dance around the subject or pretend otherwise. I will even show my good will that I will not regneg by aiding your attempt to get into the church's library before you have to do anything me; which means if you are caught, you could always finger me, and I would be executed as well, since the church holds absolute power.
* Kaelan sits back, looking thoughtful.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I wonder if this is how pirates get their start. 6He rubs the back of his neck then peers at the others
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> And, ultimately, if you decide not to aid me, I will let you go, and will not stop you. Though if my father finds you, I will not stop him, either.
<Kaelan> "I... think we can trust him, even if the favor he asks is grave."
<Zeal> Thy prince knew of me-- my nature no doubt soon follows. Thou can stillst ask this..?" 6She looks queasy.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle studies them all; Arcane looks at her. "You are in dangerous times, aiding the Angel. I do not think the road before you will be black and white, but always gray. You will, in my mind, be faced with situations like this often.
<DeathStar> <Arcane> But if you do agree, I will believe your word. Considering your nature.
<Kaelan> "Killing him or not, we have to help those elves."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well we could always let Carly have at him.
<Kaelan> "We can't let the slaughter of innocent people just happen."
<Kaelan> "Carly..." *she jerks, then looks at Zeal*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks at them all quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean seems to be eyeing the floor, a conflicted look on her face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I don't really condone killing poeple generally, but it's obvious his father doesn't value life like we do.
* Kaelan sighs and rubs he face.
<Kaelan> *her
<Zeal> Having been knocked unconscious, I would have assumed lady Carly was with you...
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Carly?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok looks at Kaelan. 1"Told ya."
* Zeal sighs, rubbing her face. 1"I do not think we can judge the man by history alone."
<Zeal> Circumstances..." 6She notes, having used the word herself earlier. 1"Do makes us create harsh choices between lesser of evils."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Guy's killing elves and half-elves. Doesn't sound like a good guy to me.
<Zeal> Angel destroying the world does not, either.
<DeathStar> <Prince Arcane> If you wish, you can sleep on your decision, and decide in the morning.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think that'd be fair. Do you think someone could go get our other friend, Baby. Either one of us or a cute maid?
<Kaelan> "Maybe we should..." *she looks at Jean and gently puts a hand on one of hers*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean is biting on her ip quietly. Kyle speaks. <Kyle> I will send a man to retrieve this Baby, if you wish. It would be best if you did not wander in and out of the castle as questions might arise. If you decide not to aid us, we will help you get out unnoticed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> He's kind of a...6He describes him
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle stares at him blankly, only a slight twitch of the brow. "I will be sure to take extra precaution, then."
* Kaelan leans over and hugs Jean. "I know this is hard."
<Zeal> The safest way would be one of us-- he might only attack thinking... you know.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean going to be the cause of bad things again... right?
<Zeal> No, lady Al'ryl. As the prophecy said...
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Plus Zeal needs to find our friend Carly. You should take her. A templar shouldn't be questioned right?
* Zeal turns, frowning. 1"This is a war of men-- not of angels."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I see. Zeal is not exactly a templar that should be seen often.
* Kaelan holds up a hand. "Jean, this isn't prophecy, this isn't even remotely your fault."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> But the Church here hasn't been informed, so if we move fast, it should be alright.
<Kaelan> "A man is doing bad things, it's as simple as that, some people are just wrong."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I think once in awhile. 6He smirks slightly and nods to Zeal. 1"It's upto you if you wanna go with.
<Zeal> You have attacked guards none-the-wiser, Kael.
<DeathStar> <Jean> But Mr. .... X said that the angel would be the catalyst for bloodshed between man and man
<Kaelan> "This is about bloodshed of elves caused by man."
<Zeal> That prophecy is indirect and already fulfilled. Our prince has beheld the angel-- and so the trigger to this war already began with our meeting.
* Kaelan eyes Zeal.
<DeathStar> <Jean> But if we not agree to help, then prophecy not happen, right?
<Kaelan> "It'll happen, but in another way and in one we have no control over."
<Zeal> Nay. It merely delays the inevitable and our prince, no offence, my lord, may resort to more dire measures that may end worse.
<Kaelan> "What we can do is try to make things happen in the best way possible... running only gets people hurt."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok sets his food down and his ale and kneels down infront of Jean, resting his hands on her knees. 1"It still could happen, Jean. I'm not gonna lie, bad things happen in this world. What matters is that we do what we can do make the best out of every bad situation.
<DeathStar> 6* Prince Arcane remains silent, letting them talk amongst themselves.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle peers at Zeal. "Will you be the one who accompanies me to retrieve the .... Baby?"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: that we not do what
<Zeal> Knowing prophecies, it may fulfill itself worse without our involvement. Rather than man to man, the prince fails and instead it complete the verse by Navarro attacking Nuege after rumor of our location.
<Kaelan> "It might be best Zeal, Baby does do what you tell him to in the end."
<Zeal> Of course.
* Zeal sniffs, uncrossing her arms and following Kyle. 1"Baby has common sense."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And if you see Carly, be sure to grab her.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Then come with me, please. 6* He moves to step out. Arcane glances at Mercy. <Arcane> Mercy, please show our guests to their rooms. They may have full access to the kitchen and baths.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows, then turns toward Dahok, Jean, and Kaelan. "Please follow me."
* Zeal pauses, peering back. 1"... U-um... my lord?"
* Kaelan gets up, holding a hand out to Jean.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jerks to look over at Arcane. 1"Baths. AS in those lovely things made out of...crystal?
<DeathStar> 6* Arcane glacnes at Zeal. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean takes it and rises silently.
<Zeal> I may not look a templar, though I do resemble myself. Perhaps it may be wise I ...changed clothes?" 6She squints, actually acting sheepish and indirect, as the request stems her obsession with clothes.
* Kaelan smiles at Jean. "Let's rest and think on it, get cleaned up and some fresh clothes, alright? Things might seem easier once we've rested."
<DeathStar> <Arcane> Of course. Kyle will see to it that you find clothing that suits you
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok stands up now.
* Zeal can't contain a slight smirk escaping her witheld smile, bowing. 1"My thanks, thy prince. Lady Rachael-- I will return. Forgive me for leaving your side."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods once absently, remaining on the couch
* Zeal frowns slightly and walks over, setting a hand on her head-- and something fuzzy
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers up
* X1 has joined #taw
<Zeal> Please watch Soma for me.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh and while you grab Baby, you should grab all of our supplies too.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles softly, taking the tigoar and holding him gently.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle waits patiently, while Mercy steps out and moves downstairs. Jean nods to Kaelan, following.
* Zeal smiles slightly at Rachael and turns to join Kyle, apologising for the delay
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You coming Rachael? 6He looks at her
* Kaelan holds Jean's hand, she looks over at Rachael.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Dahok. "I have some...things to discuss with the Prince still. I will see you all later." 6* She notes. Judging by her expression, it may very well be that even if the group doesn't aid the Prince, that she might
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Sounds alright with me. 6He bows slightly, like one would to a noble, apparently having some manners when need be. He looks at Kaelan and Jean. 1"Let's go check out these bathes then."
<DeathStar> <Prince ARcane> Also, Mercy will serve you every need; feel free to ask her anything you want. Tonight, she is your servant
<DeathStar> *your
* Kaelan nods to Dahok, she looks at Rachael still, her concern clear.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Rachael quietly, then moves to follow on after Mercy, while Kyle leads Zeal down to get --- clothing. He stops in the armory, gesturing at armors
<DeathStar> <Kyle> You may pick something that suits your needs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slowly get's a mischevious look that switches to a smile. He moves after Jean and Mercy
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy leads them down past the baths to the guest rooms and opens the door and steps in, gesturing at five other doors. "Pick any room you wish. If you need more clothes, please let me know."
* Kaelan moves with Jean, she looks to Mercy. "I could use something to wear. I'll trust you to find something comforterable but functional."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers down at his clothing. 1"I don't know, I kind of like my clothing."
* Zeal reels, peering at Kyle. 1"Y-You do know what clothing is, correct..?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean want pretty outfit like Rachael!"
<Zeal> Would I not... stand out more in armor?
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pauses, then nods a few times
<DeathStar> <Kyle> You would appear as another Knight beside me.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Isn't that what you wanted?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Unless you think there's something out there that would look good on me.
* Zeal pauses, then peers at the ground. 1"O-Oh. ..Right."
<Kaelan> "Also, if you'd like, you could join Jean and I for a bath." *she smiles playfully*
<DeathStar> <Kyle> If you wish for another outfit, I am sure Mercy can provide you with one upon our return.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok quickly peers at Kaelan. 1"I'd love to."
* Zeal hangs her head. 1"Th-That obvious."
<Zeal> I was unfortunate and lost my templar armour in a town we had to leave quickly.
<Kaelan> "I-I meant Mercy."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I could assume by your reaction to the armor that you didn't wish for something functional as much as pretty.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Why would you pick a stranger...6He just stares
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks. "Do you wish for me to bathe you, my ladies?"
<Kaelan> "Because if you bathed with us Zeal might kill you and spank me."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I'm completely down with girls bathing each other, but I just can't believe you need someone else to bathe you
<Zeal> No, you are right." 6She sighs, and moves over, eyeing it and starts to collect the basic garb and a set that should fit her.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle looks her figure over, then points at a set of armor. "That should fit you for while we get your pet. Once we get back, simply ask Mercy for whatever type of clothing you wish
<Kaelan> "I... wasn't asking her to bathe us... I was trying to be nice..."
* Kaelan looks away.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks equally confused at the idea. "Only wash Zeal because it's nice to wash each other. Does Mercy want Jean to bathe her back?"
* Zeal nods, looking offput at asking for things.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> That would not be proper, my lady. I am here to serve you
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle eyes her reaction. "I will make note to ask her on your behalf."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> It's alright Mercy. I won't ask you to do anything I wouldn't do myself.
<Zeal> N-No..! That would be shameful.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Hm. It's simply practical. 6* He notes, moving for the door to let her get changed.
* Zeal sighs, quickly hiding appropriately to change.
* Kaelan tilts her head, looking at Dahok.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy just bows. "I will go get your clothing ready. If you need my services in the bath, simply ring a bell." 6* She moves on out
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So which one were our rooms again? 6He looks at the two
<Kaelan> "Pick any one you like, she said."
<DeathStar> <Jean> She said pick any one you wanted. 6* Jean moves over to pick one
* Kaelan moves over and picks one next to Jean's.
* Zeal exits the armoury, peering over herself, then nods to Kyle. 1"Shall we?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok moves over to another one and opens it. He moves inside and starts stripping down the layer and layer of clothing he put on, tossing it on the floor
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle nods in return

<DeathStar> 6* Somewhere, Dahok can sense Jean and Kaelan bathing. Epically.
<DeathStar> 6* While Mercy holds out what appears to be a loose fitting silk outfit for a man. "Will this do, Lord Dahok?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at it. 1"Dahok's just fine, I'm no lord. 6He strips down to his underoo's and he moves to take the silk outfit
* Kaelan scrubs Jean's back, humming an old ditty.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy politely stands by in case he needs assistance dressing
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok shifts to start dressing, making somewhat of a face at the feeling of it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So how do I look? 6He turns around to show off.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> You look very royal, sir Dahok
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Really? 6He peers down at himself. 1"I don't know if it fits me well." 6He bends over to show off his rear towards her as he tries to get used to it
<DeathStar> <Mercy> If it is not to your liking, I can try to find something else.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've never worn something this...nice.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok spins in it. 1"But I think I could get used to living in a place like this. Atleast for a short while until I got bored."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I believe it suits you.
<DeathStar> 6* She blinks at him saying he'd get bored
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You look surprised?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> O-Of course not, sir Dahok. 6* She quickly reddens.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I prefer travelling, seeing new things, meeting new people. 6He winks at her. 1"Can't do that from a place like this."
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
<DeathStar> <Mercy> That is true. 6* She nods quickly in agreement. Perhaps having guests that take quick to offense
<Chad-Sleep> <Dahok> I think one of the my favorite things about travelling besides meeting people, is sitting against a tree or a rock and staring up at the sky without a care in the world.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I--- used to do that as a little girl
<Chad-Sleep> <Dahok> Really? I'd like to hear about that sometime.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> It was a long time ago, sir. I---barely can remember it, really. 6* She stammers
<Chad-Sleep> <Dahok> I find we rarely forget things that made us happy.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy pauses at that, then nods. "That is true, sir." 6* She says in agreement
* Kaelan is now known as Sera|ReallyHasClass
* Sera|ReallyHasClass is now known as Seraphna
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Quit: 12( www.nnscript.com 12:: NoNameScript 4.22 12:: www.esnation.com 12))
* Seraphna has joined #TAW-Medieval
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
* Xan|Gonez has joined #TAW-Medieval
* Xan|Work has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Seraphna> * Kaelan washes over Jean's back still, she halts her humming as she considers saying something. "Say... Jean..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles, "G-Good. How are you feeling?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> Warm. Wet. 6* She stretches happily
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Tired at all? Using a wind shield earlier seemed to affect yuo visibly..." *her voice is concerned*
<DeathStar> <Jean> Could use a nap!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well you better take one after this bath then. No telling when we'll get another chance." *she frowns a little and washes Jean's sides* "I wanted to talk about earlier."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, peering at her with her one uncovered eye. "Did Jean do something bad?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Of course not, just... what I was trying to do with that man was to get him to leave you alone, you understand right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks blank and confused. "Man?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "In the tavern."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "That guy that offered you food, he was up to no good."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh! Forgot about him already!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "The... sister remark, I thought he might be more of a gentleman if he thought you had family around."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. 6* She blinks, as if thinking back to the conversation now. "Sorry. Jean didn't mean to mess up."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "There's no reason to apologize, just... play along whenever we need to make up a story, it could get us out of trouble okay?" *she hugs her gently* "And besides... I kinda meant it about family, you guys are all I have left after all."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods slowly, in thought. "Okay!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Alright, tilt your head back a little, time to start working some soap into this hair of yours."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then tilts her head back
<Seraphna> * Kaelan starts to soap up her hair, working on the mess of it. "Been a while since we could have a proper washing."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Wish Zeal could enjoy bath, too.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We'll take another when she gets back if you'd like... I feel like I could take 10 baths..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean leans forward to peer at some glass containers with liquids in them, poking at htem curious
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans over to look over her shoulder. "What do you suppose those are?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean ponders, then knocks it into the water. Bubbles begin to form. Pure magic, clearly
<Seraphna> * Kaelan stares, tilting her head. "What sort of magic are you using?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> I didn't do it! 6* The bubbles continue to build, engulfing them both. Jean then begins to giggle once she sees it's not harmful
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and runs her hands through the bubbles. "This is neat!"
<DeathStar> 6* Somewhere, Kyle leads the armored Zeal into the ice town of Nuege
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves about, swiping the bubbles to clear a path to Kaelan, then blows them about
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles and puts some bubbles up in Jean's soapy hair. "Cute."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, glancing up at the bubbles
<DeathStar> 6* Then adds some to Kaelan's hair and nose
<Seraphna> * Kaelan snickers and puts some on Jean's shoulders.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean reaches over and covers up Kaelan's breasts with bubbles
<Seraphna> * Kaelan returns the favor.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles sleepily
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Alright now, lean your head back again."
<Zeal> I should wonder if it would be too much to ask that she is not causing trouble...
<DeathStar> 6* Jean obeys
<DeathStar> <Kyle> She?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan starts to rinse out her hair.
<Zeal> Lady Carly...
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Do you wish to seek her out as well, then? 6* He leads her toward the inn
<Zeal> It would be wise
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits her up and smiles gently, then starts washing her own hair.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then moves over to wash Kaelan's hair for her, humming a strange melody
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Where do we look, then? It might be best to get her before the pet and supplies
<Seraphna> * Kaelan closes her eyes, listening, she starts to hum along with it after a little bit.
* Zeal sighs a bit. 1"Anywhere with people, perhaps. Especially people off their guard."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I--- see. 6* He says, clearly not sure how to espond
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Perhaps...a tavern or a ... whore house, then?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses, then peers at Kaelan. "Where learn that song?" 6* She asks after listening a moment
<Seraphna> * Kaelan opens her eyes. "Didn't... really, just following your melody."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes a bit. "Mom used to hum whenever she cooked or did chores around me, I got into the habit of following along."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Oh.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan reaches out and pokes her nose. "Where'd you learn it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean shakes her head a bit, wiggling her nose. "Don't know."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It was pretty... sounds like some of the songs Mom sang."
* Zeal slowly peers at Kyle. 1"A-- a wh-wha..?"
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I apologize if I'm assuming the wrong certain of character nature for your friend, but it sounded as if...
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks. "Maybe Kaelan's mother taught Jean long ago!"
* Zeal hangs her head.
<Zeal> N-No. It might even be a brilliant place to look.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks a bit. "That'd be something. Heh." *she starts to rinse herself off*
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle nods, peering in the direction that is probably the whore house, making a slight face as he tries to resolve himself for going there. After a moment, he marches that way
<Seraphna> * Kaelan thinks. "Hey... are you alright sleeping on your own? You're normally resting with Zeal."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses at that, putting her knuckles to her mouth to think. "Not sleeping in tent..." 6* She murmurs
* Zeal lets Kyle lead, but strays a bit farther as they get closer, twitching.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You've even shared rooms with her at inns, if I remember rightly."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle stops outsid the whore house where ladies in waiting are outside, trying to lure men in with cash. He holds his ground, as if unable to go closer.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Want me to stay with you till Zeal gets back?"
<Zeal> Well..?
* Zeal looks at Kyle expectantly.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> ... Right. And what does your friend look like, exactly?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks, then nods again.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles. "Done deal then." *she gets up, helping Jean out of the water* "Time to dry."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy appears with towels.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grins. "Oh you're good." *she takes one and wraps it about Jean*
* Zeal describes Carly after her transformation, but then frowns and adds--
<Zeal> She has a pension for the colour blue..
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle nods once, pauses, then moves to investigate.
<Zeal> Good luck!" 6She bows, remaining.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses as she's wrapped up in a towel
<Seraphna> * Kaelan helps her dry, grabbing her own towel from Mercy. "Thank you Mercy. Did you find anything for me to wear?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am afraid anything you wear would make it look ugly on you. HO HO HO HO.
<DeathStar> (Kidding)
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes. I put some clothes in your room, Lady Kaelan
<DeathStar> 6* A hand touches Zeal's shoulder and a male voice whispers in her ear. "Has anyone told you that you have divine hair?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes a bit. "Just Kaelan please... I haven't earned any titles."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> ... 6* She looks like she doesn't know how to react to such a request, not wanting to disobey, but at the same time, finding it wrong not to give titles.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan watches her, then sighs, "Lady is fine, I guess."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy ooks relieved and bows
* Zeal jerks, turning quickly, a hand quickly going for her knife.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Just not used to it, I'm only a blacksmith's daughter."
<DeathStar> 6* A man matching Zeal's age stands there, with icy blue eyes and brown hair. He smiles at her, leaning forward a bit, making Zeal feel a bit dizzy. "And beautiful eyes."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am sure he was a fine blacksmith, lady Kaelan.
* Zeal blinks, taking a step back, staring. 1"I-- they are the same as yours, sir."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "He was, a mastersmith." *she smiles* "I'll continue the craft when this is all over."
<DeathStar> <Man> Hm. Are they? I haven't really looked at my own eyes. 6* He notes, casually closing the distance again while Zeal remains dizzy, like she drank too much wine
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am certain you will craft fine weapons.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tilts her head. "You are?"
* Zeal winces, shaking her head, then yanks her knife out, holding it up as she stumbles. 1"... What ... is this?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man laughs a bit, taking her hand with the knife to hold onto it, usually strong. "Serves you right for leaving me alone." 6* He notes in nya-nya tone.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods, as if it were completely logical
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... thank you."
* Zeal looks slightly annoyed, though resists on instinct, she mumbles. 1"... Carly."
<DeathStar> 6* The man jerks as he's shoulder rammed suddenly and stumbles. Kyle is there, hand on the hilt of his sword, but hasn't drawn it. "Unhand her."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Is there anything else I can do for you, my ladies?
<Zeal> <Zeal> Sir... Lambert, it is fine." 6She shakes her head. 1"...Lady Carly, how... did you do that..?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You're a wonder, Mercy."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> ... 6* He raises his brow at "Lady Carly", eyeing the man. Carly laughs, a hand to his mouth. <Carly> Oh, I can do a lot more. 6* She brushes Zeal's cheek, and Zeal would feel her heart beat quicken and a slight burn of desire, as if she were horny. <Carly> It helps spice up the... 6* She's clearly going to say "blood".
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks. "T-Thank you." 6* Jean hugs her. <Jean> Jean like Mercy.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grins and gets in on the hug too.
* Zeal pauses, looking confused and disoriented, letting out a short breath, then eyes Carly, reaching up abrubtly and grabbing her face with one hand across the mouth
<DeathStar> 6* Carly makes a muffled sound, eyeing Zeal, then begins to lick slowly along her hand, increasing the horny sensation upon contact, it seems
<DeathStar> <Mercy> M-My ladies... 6* She stammers.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lets go, smiling. "You're being nice to us, we're sorta unused to that."
* Zeal flusters slightly. 1"Lady Carly! Stop this instant!"
<DeathStar> <Carly> Mphh. Mphph mphph I?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> It would be improper to be mean to you all. I'm here to serve any need you may have.
* Zeal sighs, letting go of her
<DeathStar> <Carly> Why should I? 6* She crosses her arms.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well, let us repay you how we can. Jean likes to give hugs."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh. Of course. You may hug me as much as you want. 6* She tells Jean. Jean beams and hugs onto her more
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You just made her day."
<Zeal> B-Because I said so..!" 6She hrmphs
<DeathStar> <Mercy> It is rather mild compared to some guests' wishes. 6* She notes, giving Jean a pat on the head. "Shall I bring you any drinks or food while you rest?"
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Now that we have...Lady Carly .... shall we get your pet and supplies? 6* He eyes Carly dubiously, still
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Some wine... and Jean favors fruits."
<Zeal> M-My pet..? Oh.. My pet is Soma." 6She mumbles.
<Zeal> Baby is lady Al'ryl's.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows and moves off to comply. Jean moves up, in towel only, to hurry down to their rooms
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Oh. Can you lead me to the inn you are staying in, then?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan follows her closely.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly mischeviously keeps toying with Zeal's hormones, though doesn't say anything to that effect. Instead he looks completely innocent
* Zeal pauses, then looks to Kyle. 1"... Ah, what were you saying, sir Lambert..?
<DeathStar> <Kyle> ... I was asking that you lead us to the inn that you are in; or give me the name.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves to the room she picked and hops onto a bed made with silk sheets and feels as if sleeping on air
<DeathStar> 6* Laid out n the bed is a silk robe, silk nightwear, and a silky dress.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slips into her room to grabs some clothes, then moves into Jean's.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean keeps bouncing happily.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slips on the nightwear and smiles at her.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems Jean's still naked, having gotten caught up in the bed's softness and not noticing the clothes
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Having fun?"
* Zeal shakes her head again, then moves toward where she recalls the inn being
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods as she bounces, a big smile on her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle follows along, and Carly does as well; the further Zeal manages to get from Carly, the less the effect - though for her part, Carly tries to stay close to her
* Zeal walks quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle, to his credit, tries to keep pace while looking dignified
<DeathStar> <Carly> So, what's your name? 6* He asks Kyle, reaching out to touch some bare skin, clearly trying to get to him now.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan hops on the bed with her and bounces too.
<Zeal> Lady Carly.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly glances at Zeal, hand inches from Kyle's face
<DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles happily, waving Mercy in when she arrives with a tray of the requested fod.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan bounces in time with Jean so she bounces off the bed while Jean's still in the air, she smiles happily.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Join us, Mercy! <Mercy> I-I--
<Seraphna> kaelan> "Oh, have a little fun."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> But I really shouldn't, my ladies...
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle pauses outside the inn, oblivious to the hand. Carly grazes his cheek as he moves to step in and get the pet and supplies for Zeal, leaving her outside with Carly
* Zeal slowly eyes Carly.
<DeathStar> 6* Carly steps in closer to Zeal, affecting her again. "So why are we not staying at the inn now, Zeal?"
<Zeal> We will be staying somewhere better.
<DeathStar> <Carly> Oh? Where? Where?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Why?"
<Zeal> You... will see.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I-I might get in trouble, my ladies
<DeathStar> 6* Carly makes a face, leaning in closer to Zeal, running her finger along Zeal's lips. "Tell me."
<Zeal> I have no reason to tell misbehaving children.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Hmm, do you want to join us?"
<DeathStar> 6* Carly frowns, then begins to try to increase Zeal's hormones even more as payback.,
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am fine, really, my ladies. 6* Jean pauses in her bouncing
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well we could make it an offical request, then if Arcane has issue it's our fault."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I---- 6* She bows her head. "Yes, my ladies." 6* She notes, not about to disobey any request
<Seraphna> * Kaelan holds up a finger. "Only if you want to." *she smiles* "Otherwise it is not a request."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows once. "Then, is there anything else you need, my ladies?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Not at all... but thank you." *she smiles warmly*
* Zeal seems to ignore Carly's doings, putting her hands on her hips as they wait
<DeathStar> 6* Carly huffs, and crosses his arms. "Maybe Carly not want to go."
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy steps out, and Jean moves over to put on the silk robe, making noises of pleasure
<DeathStar> <Jean> Soft.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle returns carrying the supplies and the bearoar, who has "Bitten" his arm until he sees Zeal, then seems satisfied
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and nods, feeling over her own. "Nice..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods, then moves over to grab the fruit and begins to eat it happily. "Think Zeal okay?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan takes a piece and nibbles. "Yeah, she knows how to take care of... herself."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Kaelan's brief pause
<Seraphna> * Kaelan turns a little red. "Nevermind, It's unkind of me to think that way."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Think like what?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I don't like that Zeal went off to try and save Rachael with us."
<DeathStar> (<Jean> But she went without!)
<DeathStar> <JEan> Jean was with Zeal!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yeah but... why didn't she come get me and Dahok too?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks. "Maybe wanted to be sure first?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I suppose... I just worry what might have happened had I not found you two. Kyle could have been an enemy and then where would we be?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down guiltily.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gently puts a hand to her chin and guides her to look up. "Don't feel bad, you're okay now and that's what matters... I'm just a little overprotective..."
<DeathStar> <Jean> Jean sorry. Will be more careful and protect Zeal better.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans in and kisses her cheek. "Let us protect you too. We're a team. You're not alone in this."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods. "Okay!"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and hugs her. "Now, for my Zeal impression." *she sits up a little and waggles her finger* "Lady Al'ryl! You need your rest!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at her, then nods obediently and shifts to lay her face down on the silky pillows
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lays down with her and smiles, giggling gently. "And have sweet dreams."

Session Ident: #TAW-Medieval
<Chad-Sleep> 6Dahok slowly sticks his head out his bedroom, peering bothways
* Chad-Work is now known as Chad`Winters
<Seraphna> * Kaelan watches through the lid of an eye to make sure Jean does indeed go to sleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean---is asleep.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok slips out of his room, wearing the expensive pants only and he starts moving towards the bath area
<DeathStar> 6* The bath area's water has been drained, naturally, and the bell to summon Mercy is off to the side
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok whistles none the less at the bath as he moves over and taps the bell
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy steps in. "Yes, sir Dahok?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok jumps a bit, being caught off guard. 1"All things glittering you scared me." 6He let's out a breath. 1"You're very sneaky."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I'm...sorry. I thought you needed my help.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Is that what the bell is for? 6He peers at it curiously then her.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes, sir Dahok. 6* She doesn't mention she said it earlier to htem all. "There is one in every room."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And so you come no matter the time?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes, sir Dahok.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Huh. 6He rubs the back of his head at that then moves over to the bath. 1"So what happened to all the water in here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy moves over to a valve and turns it, filling the tub with water once more; it looks warm.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok peers at the valve, moving over to inspect it. 1"Neat."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Is there anything else you need?
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Any way for me to take care of my hair? I kinda got it burnt awhile back.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy moves over to the glass jars - the one with the mysterious fluids that Jean knocked over has been refilled; she points at the one at the right. "This is for hair."
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> How about a knife I can use to cut it evenly? 6He peers from the glass jars then to her as he drops his pants and starts taking off his unders
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I will get you such a tool immediately. 6* She bows, then moves to step out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok watches her go out, checking her backside a bit and he moves over to the bath edge and sits down on it. Then rolls back and falls into the water.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy returns with a knife suitable for cutting hair and moves over with it, placing it down on the edge far from him so there's no possible way she would come off threatening
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok pops out of the water and he shifts over to the knife and eyes it. 1"So tell me about yourself."
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I am merely a servant, sir Dahok.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Everyone has a story. And you could've have been a servant your entire life, right?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I have been, sir Dahok
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sits up quietly, gently fixing Jean's hair, brushing it from her eyes. She moves to peek outside, curious about Rachael.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Really? 6He shifts under the water more a bit. 1"Well what do you do on your free time?
* Seraphna is now known as Kaelan
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I do not have free time. 6* She notes, though her tone doesn't sound upset.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Oh. 6He ducks his head under again and pops back up, moving to the glass jar thing and he pops it open and sniffs it. 1"Do anything for fun?"
<DeathStar> <Mercy> No, sir Dahok.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan softly closes the door behind her and moves out to the room Rachael was in before.
<DeathStar> 6* The door leading to the King's floor is guarded by a Knight.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So you don't look up at the sky like you used to when you were young? 6He turns to peer at her as he pours some of the stuff on his head.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> No, sir Dahok.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan adjusts her robe a bit. "Excuse me sir, I'm looking for my friend, has she left the Prince's company yet?"
<DeathStar> <Knight> No. She is the King's guest tonight.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Do you ever wish you could? 6He scratches his head. Then peers up at the bubbles appearing in his hand
<DeathStar> <Mercy> I'm much too busy to think about the sky.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan nods. "Alright, I'll see her in the morning then, I wouldn't wish to disturb." *she curtseys respectfully*
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> You gotta sleep at sometime right?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes, sir Dahok. I sleep between bell rings at night.
<DeathStar> 6* The Knight just nods once.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> And I suppose some times the bells ring a lot, huh?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan turns back and moves back into Jean's room quietly, a thoughtful look on her face as she enters.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I won't ring my bell at all at night so you can get some sleep.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> Oh. Okay, sir Dahok. Shall I go, then, if you do not need me for anything else?
* #TAW-Medieval is being logged
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well I am enjoying the company and also giving you a break from the other bells.
<Kaelan> * Kaelan sneaks up and settles back down next to Jean, laying her head on the pillow.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy just politely smiles.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Well you enjoy your job atleast, right?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> It.... is an honor to have such a job.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dahok dunks his head under the water again and moves to the edge of the bath. 1"<Dahok> I can see it being an honor but do you ever wonder what it'd be like to be doing something else? Seeing different places, meeting new people?
<DeathStar> <Mercy> It would be improper to think such thoughts.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Then I'll think of them for you.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy doesn't seem to know how to respond to that one.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> I've done a lot of sailing in my life. The wind blowing through your hair, seeing fish jumping about.
<DeathStar> <Mercy> It must be very nice.
<Chad`Winters> It is. 6He begins to describe to her the area around where he grew up.
<DeathStar> 6* Mercy listens politely.
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> So tell me about your life here.
