01<@DeathStar> Date: 4 days after last session
01<@DeathStar> (Sera can figure out the dates)
01<@DeathStar> Location: Matias Woods
03* Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #session81
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael skips along ahead of the group, traveling over large tree roots and stuff, the sun rarely seen except at rivers and whatnot inside the jungle. Faile flips her blade, staying away fro the group mostly, while Mercy carries her share - on insistance - with the others
02* @Eluere (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves towards the front of the group, not completely keeping pace with Rachael but definitely keep an eye out, he moves around roots, rocks and plants with relative ease, probably having taken this path a time or two.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean hums a tune, looking like she's in a good mood, while Lenneth quietly peers at the glowing plants that provide light; Thomas rubs the back of his head, mumbling things inaudiblely
<Seraphna> * Seth keeps up with Rachael, keeping an eye out as he moves along. Kaelan shoulders a share of the supplies, walking with Jean.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael hums cheerfully, pausing to take a brief break, peering back at Valen. "This is the right way, yes?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean leans over to peer at a poisonous blue fruit.
<Seraphna> * Seth comes to a halt, looking about.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It seems familiar. 6He nods in comfirmation.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan puts down her supplies and looks to Jean. "No eating strange fruits again sis."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I wasn't! I was just looking at mean fruit
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves to get some water off her hip and drinks it, peering about; Rynar is missing from the group after a strange noise in the night, but no one ever found tracks of him
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I see." *she leans over next to Jean and looks too*
<Kit> <Nephilim> That fruit's delicious.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It always is a little more difficult to keep track of direction. Do you remember the lesson that I taught you about the moss?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Before or after it kills you?"
<Xanatos> NRP: keep track of direction in the forest.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hmmm, I typically go by feel.
<Seraphna> * Seth grins a bit. "I have a way of telling the right direction on this particular journey."
<Kit> <Nephilim> Before, obviously. Don't taste when you're dead.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ah, well the lesson doesn't work all that well in this particular forest, but maybe I was just wondering if you remembered my teachings. 6He smirks slightly then glances to Seth. 1Oh?
<Seraphna> * Seth nods towards Jean.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> It did taste nice before it made Jean feel bad.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Thought you said it was bitter."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Bitter can be nice!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods several times.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Does that include bitter personalities? 6* She peers out in the forest, perhaps thinking of the lost Rynar
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks, "Really?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yep!
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns, looking about. "He did vanish rather strangely, think he ran? He got spooked about the marks."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I remember a lot of what you taught, of course. But I don't know - I just feel more aware in this forest than I have any in city, like I know where to go. I can even feel.... wrong places in it."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down sadly at that
<Kit> <Aschae> Bittersweet. Huhuhu.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan hugs Jean. "Don't feel down, he chose his own path."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Really? 6He leans forward curiously to peer at Rachael.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods, leaning back a bit. "You don't feel that way?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I always had gut feelings on good and bad areas, but I never paid much attention, as if it's just something that was instilled in me from years of traversing this forest.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Might continue to prove useful before we clear these trees."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> That ruin with the vampire felt wrong, for instance; not her itself, just the place itself
<Xanatos> <Valen> Vampire ruin? Hmm. Maybe you're special.
<Seraphna> Seth> "It was covered in traps."
<Kit> <Nephilim> Are you two lost again?" 6She muses between Rachael and Valen
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> But Jean--I-- found a gem there!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Lost, no. It's proper to rest every hour and rehydrate yourself
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Many of them are probably put in dangerous locations to keep them safe."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Lost. Hmph. 6He snorts at that.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I wonder why; would gods not easily disable traps?
<Seraphna> Seth> "I don't think it was the gods they're being kept from."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Who else? Us?
<Seraphna> Seth> "Us, or Diggers and the sort."
<Kit> <Aschae> That ruin had little to do with the vampire. It was merely dwelling there.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I suppose if you could avoid traps, it would be a safe place to hide
<Kit> <Nephilim> Yup!" 6She grins.
<Xanatos> <Valen> And you could feast on trap injured people.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Traps also impede Templars just as easily as they do folk like us."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael finishes her rest and starts moving again, humming a tune she learned from Neph when she was a child. Mercy picks up her tent and food sacks again to follow. Lenneth grabs her own supplies to help
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Mmmm, the ruins have always been a fascination to me; all over the world and clearly before judgement. Not all have traps, either - mostly the ones with the magic gems and the white ones have had them
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Though before Jean, some areas of the ruins we've been in were never deeply explored due to the fact she seems to know how to open passages others have to break through
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas picks up his own supplies
<Seraphna> * Seth moves on, Kaelan hefting her supplies and moving with Jean.
<Xanatos> <Valen> She's a special girl. 6He says with a wink to Jean and then moves again as well.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Funny how everywhere we seem to go, it's like there are gems waiting for us..."
<Kit> <Nephilim> I know lots 'bout ruins!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, we don't really go to many ruins that JEan doesn't want to enter
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I mean, there's probably a few on the way to the capital if we wanted to mess with the Diggers Guild to look at them
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles at Valen, all charmed, and follows along
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yes but... on our way back to Navarro, we found a ruins and a gem... didn't we?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Jean wasn't even with us."
<Kit> <Nephilim> I never bother with the guild." 6She waves a hand.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm? Oh, the brown gem I found Yes, that was a turn of good luck
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm. Luck."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks at Seth
<Xanatos> <Valen> Does the brown gem do anything worthwhile?
01<@DeathStar> 6* RAchael leads them to a low stream they can wade across, and she begins to walk across slowly, being sure not to fall in, while Mercy sighs, in her maid outfit despite the jungle weather and begins to try to pick up her clothing while carrying her sacks on her head
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, the angel absorbed it into her and now we can all use Earth magic
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What are the chances we just happened to stumble on a cave with a ruins that held the Earth magic gem?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, we fulfilled a prophecy of the angel
<Seraphna> * Seth lifts what gear he has high and moves along after Rachael.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Earth magic hm? Interesting. 6He reaches out to help Mercy with the sacks. 1At least until we cross. 6He notes.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "That's what's bothering me."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy peers at Valen and bows her head respectfully. "Thank you, Lord Valen."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I did fully warn you all what the prophecy entailed.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lifts her share of the packs, moving along through the water.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas lifts Zeal up into his arms to cross
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm not Lord miss. But you're welcome all the same.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No... not the outcome, it's just..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth slowly wades through, peering down with worry strangely as she carefully works her way. Faile just marches through blandly
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Think about it; and thep eople of the angel will unleash evil men upon the lands. Then we are able to call upon magic from the ground itself
<Kit> 6Zeal makes a noise, then eyes Thomas embarassedly. 1"I-- I am capable of walking."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "These propecies, they say were we might go, what we might do... it's like someone else read them and left us things behind in all the likely places."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I would hate for your clothing to get wet when you do not wish it
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> They are supposed to be prophecies; we are merely fulfilling them absed on actions we would naturally take. If someone knew them, it could be they would try to get us items along said path, knowing Jean would go that way
<Kit> 6Aschae grabs Faile's chain and lifts her by it, carrying her across at arm's reach so he doesn't get kicked/stabbed
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Then... someone or something wanted whatever is happening to happen, right?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms as he walks across then holds the sacks back out to Mercy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile's eyes narrow at Azhren as she's carried by the chain; a chill would let him know he wisely chose to carry her out of stab range
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Not necessarily; as I said, they knew that we would do it, and so they might place items for us along the path. If I knew you were going to the capital, and could figure out your route, and needed to get you a message, I would pick a spot along the route, would I not?
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> No matter how hard I argued against releasing prisoners into Navarro, the group mind was to do it.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Thusly, if they knew we would escape that way, they would put something there
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks down as ehs moves. "I... didn't do it on purpose..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Who would know these things in order to set items in the path?
<Kit> 6Azhren sets Faile down once they're across.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You were dying and Seth was taken away, they were going to rape and kill me... so I just grabbed the keys and without really thinking about it, I opened the nearest cell for help."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> My guess is that something will happen once we get every piece of the puzzle, and Jean will gain access to something; they could not risk putting all the items in one spot lest they were taken, so they scattered them as best they could for us to find
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> That, Valen, is a question I ask nightly; clearly the people before the judgement, since the angel prophecies appeared After Judgement
<Seraphna> Seth> "And the traps are a deterrent to keep the wrong people from getting them."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and hugs Kaelan tightly, despite moving across the water
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan okay?!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and nids, hugging back, careful that they don't fall in.
<Kit> <Aschae> And if the traps "deterred" the angel herself?" 6She chuckles.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Once they reach the other side, Rachael shakes off like a dog
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm fine... just feel guilty for what I had to do."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan did what she thought right!
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hmm. If you're correct we may just find out their identity in do time.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile crosses her arms, eyeing him evenly. "Next time ask before doing such a thing."
<Seraphna> Seth> "I've got a feeling that if someone, ages ago coudl leave these things for us to find, they might be able to know what the Angel's companions might be like."
<Seraphna> Seth> "It's a pretty damn accurate estimation, so far."
<Kit> <Azhren> Very well.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, Le--- the god that spoke with us indicated there was a book that foretold prophecies and she wished to .... prevent the final one. Tareh's destruction
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth reaches theo ther side and breathes a sigh of relief
<Xanatos> <Valen> A book? It would be nice if we could get access to said book.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Unfortunately, without --- the ability to talk to said god, we can only speculate.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm... I did at the time. Though... I worry what my actions may have caused in consequence. We freed many bad people that day." *she frowns* "Granted, we also freed some good people..."
<Seraphna> * Seth gives Thomas a look.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Curious. 6He rubs his chin slightly, glancing to Lenneth before looking ahead.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas sets Zeal down, looking guilty at suggesting it
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Mmmm, I wish I knew more, too. 6* She says quietly, peering at the ground. "Want to know why people think Jean is evil."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Because the gods said you were."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> There is something you should know about prophecy, Jean; we cannot literally know what it means. IT said in the three beginning prophecies you would cause the ground to open u pand swallow men. You were there, but not did cause it - the God General did attacking you
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> We cannot know the literal intrepretation of you destroying Tareh; just because it is worded one way does not mean there is not multiple, if not dozens, of intrepretations of what it means
<Seraphna> Seth> "We already know gods lie. Or flavor their words to favor themselves."
<Kit> <Aschae> Shall I solve our problem." 6She smiles, peering over at Lenneth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth shakes herself dry like Rachael, paying them no mind. Mercy gathers er stuff as Rachael begins to lead again, looking distracted herself
<Seraphna> * Seth eyes Aschae. "No problem solving that way at the moment please."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Interpretation is a cruel mistress. Perhaps destroying Tareh means breaking down the current standards and raising up a new society? Wouldn't that be oh so nice?
<Kit> <Aschae> Well, I do grow tired of speculation And eventually I need to find out who is enemy or ally.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> For instance, there are more prophecies coming up; I am not sure if I tell you them if it is a good idea. Just knowing the prophecy can cause it to happen.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Indeed, Valen; that could be one intrepretation.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Do what you're thinking and you won't have to worry about it anymore, or much of anything."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Dead people don't need to speculate."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Miss Aschae meant um, removing the collar I think
01<@DeathStar> 6* She whispers
<Kit> <Aschae> Indeed.
<Seraphna> Seth> "As did I."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> We could give her sleepy herbs before doing it! 6* She says brightly
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Zeal gave me some one night when I kept talking!
<Seraphna> Seth> "We don't know that'll work. I'd rather not risk you... it."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes Zeal
<Kit> <Aschae> Why would we put her to sleep?
<Kit> <Zeal> Wh-What?! I felt sorry for her..
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Well, not completely--if sleepy, not able to attack, right?
<Seraphna> Seth> "I've beens truck by her power. It's not fun."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sticks out her tongue, then pauses, peering ahead with a frown and kneeling
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers at them talking about Lenneth and then glances to Mercy. 1I like your hair.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Um, t-thank you, Sir Valen
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows submissively
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth comes back over, having been peering out into the forest, perhaps for Rynar, having been bonding with him somewhat
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at Rachel, then ahead.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches his brow slightly and then pauses to glance to Rachael, kneeling slightly. 1What is it?
<Kit> <Aschae> Hm. I have 'faith' I suppose.
<Kit> 6Aschae inclines her head, grinning mischievously. 1"Huhuhu, Lenneth, dear?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Something feels wrong ahead, but --- I know that's the right way. And I know if we go off to the left and right it'll take longer.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Time, or possible terrible death."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes, Aschae?
<Seraphna> * Seth waves his hands as though weighing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth walks over to stand by her, the wooden staff on one hip, her sword on the other
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I trust Valen and Rachael's decision as team leader!
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers at Aschae, then Lenneth.
01<@DeathStar> 6 *Rachael glances back and smiles, glancing at Valen since Jean doesn't seem to hold any mistrust
<Seraphna> Seth> "Just giving weight by opinion."
<Kit> <Aschae> Lenneth, would you give me your word that no matter what changes you happen to cross, you'll remember and consider your current mindset?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What do you think? We might add a day or two not going through the valley ahead, right?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Rachael then peers ahead. 1Probably. But we risk someone getting injured and slowing us down if we do go inside. So I vote to go around.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Um, sure. 6* She says, confused clearly.
<Xanatos> NRP: er through.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Alright. Around it is; I guess I'll let you lead them since I just remember the path you taught me and the feel of the forest itself
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile flips a knife, standing next to ASchae, looking impatient, and peering up as if a god might strike them down
<Kit> <Aschae> The most heroic accomplishment you could manage is seeing both sides." 6She notes to Lenneth
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods. 1Like old times, then? 6He winks and straightens up to move again, shifting off to the left to take the roundabout way.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I agree in believing the necessity of seeing multiple sides to anything, as I've discussed with you before
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael gets up and follows, and Mercy and Thomas begin to follow. Faile pockets the knife and steps to follow
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks to Jean. She then says, "Aschae, Lenneth, we're moving on."
<Seraphna> * Seth peers back to look at them.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean follows along, humming her tune and smacking Zeal's butt like she's seen Rachael do
<Xanatos> 6* Valen keeps his eyes out for traps and the like, also for angry animals.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan starts to move on, Seth waits, watching Aschae and Lenneth.
<Kit> <Aschae> I know.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Strangely, the forest has been empty of background monster noises lately
<Kit> <Aschae> Go ahead, we shall catch up.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns sligthly. 1I don't like this.
<Seraphna> Seth> "You'll forgive me if I'm a little wary on leaving you alone with people at the present time."
<Kit> <Aschae> If you don't agree with my choice of action, it's best you're not here, isn't it?
<Seraphna> Seth> "Not if you endanger the group. Besides, we shouldn't get seperated on the move. Come along."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods to Valen as she walks behind him and to his side, peering about. "There's not even birds singing."
<Xanatos> <Valen> It means something scared them off. I've seen something to this sort before.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What scared them off?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Maybe whatever we're going around?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I never found out. I was always taught that if you encounter something like this, you should return home as quickly as possible.
<Kit> <Aschae> I'm going to-- whether now or later. If you persist in bothering me here, you'll leave a trail to the others so I guess it will be later. Come along Lenneth." 6She chuckles, moving past her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth looks confused, peering at Seth questioningly a bit, but follows ASchae
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, as Jean said, home is our group now. 6* Jean nods
<Seraphna> * Seth watches her like a hawk, waiting for her to be walking before moving himself, keeping an eye on them.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Well said!
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes, but that doesn't technically solve our issue here. I just hope that whatever scared everything off stays away.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns. "Yeah..."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> We'll have to camp soon. 6* She notes, asi f feeling out the time due to no sun, and she moves along. After traveling two more hours, and encountering no one else, Rachael stops, indicating it's been nearly 9 hours of travel
<Kit> <Nephilim> Shall we take a look from above for anything out of place, Rach?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers about, looking uncomfortable, and Mercy sets her gear down, looking exhausted, her hair dishelved from it's usually tidy state.
<Kit> 6Aschae finds the most open part of their stopping place and sits, eyes closed with her staff in the prayer posture
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Might be a good idea. 6* She agrees, peering up and begins to climb the trees.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sets her load down, looking about. She moves over to start helping Mercy with the supplies.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Was there birdsong when we broke camp?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sets some of his stuff down and then peers at them climbing, he smirks slightly and begins to climb up after them.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yes!
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan watches them climb while Mercy prepares a spot for a fire. Faile peers about, standing on guard, while Lenneth sits to work on her staff to make it look like Aschae's to practice with
<Seraphna> * Seth nods. "Good I think."
<Kit> 6Nephilim runs, scurries, then seems to clamber up a tree trunk without actual climbing, then leaps, seems to leap a second time on thin air, and reaches the branches, prancing about.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The three, after climbing the giant trees, reach the top and climb the trees to see the night sky and the glittering above. Rachael gracefully climbs just a tiny bit higher than Nephilim, balancing and peering across the land of treetops
<Seraphna> * Seth peers about and settles against a trunk, keeping a look out.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Show off. 6He he notes with a slight hmph before peering out.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan helps Mercy with the fire. "Want to put the tents up together?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma peeks out of Zeal's breasts, mewling as if scared
<Kit> <Zeal> Soma? What is wrong?
01<@DeathStar> 6* AS the three are up top, the air would feel fresher than the forest, which is strange considering the jungle smells of plant life. But after peering out, Rachael, Valen, and Neph would feel more alert.
01<@DeathStar> 6* He looks at Zeal as if trying to tell her with his cute eyes
<Kit> <Zeal> ... I do not understand.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma makes a show of yawning and closing his eyes, then opens and stares intently; indeed, the group below would feel exhausted compared to usual during their travels
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at Zeal's melons... err, the cat, yes, Zeal's pussy. No! Wait, the tigroar.
<Xanatos> <Valen> What on Tareh..? 6He looks slightly perplexed.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy tiredly gets the fire going and strangely, brings out meat to cook instead of making something more ecomplex.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I agree... I was noticing I felt more tired today, but I just figured after four days of walking, it was catching up, but I feel I could go another hour or two
<Seraphna> * Kaelan yawns a little. "Simple meal seems good... I could cook that..."
<Seraphna> * Seth rubs his eyes.
01<@DeathStar> <MErcy> Very well, lady Kaelan; prepare it for your mistress
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth eyes them all oddly
<Xanatos> <Valen> Something strange is going on. I don't ever remember this trip being so daunting and now that we're up here I feel just fine.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods and starts to lazily get the meat cooking.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy sits back and closes her eyes. Thomas doesn't get out his notebook like usual, resting against Zeal
<Kit> <Nephilim> I feel keen up here.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. ANother reason I Stopped is I noticed, um, the humans...man I feel weird saying that, lookede more tired. Especially Mercy; she's not used to long journeys to begin with, but the poor girl looked ready to drop
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms. 1I wonder if there's some pollen in the air that might induce fatigue?
<Xanatos> <Valen> I wonder if that even exists. 6He adds.
<Seraphna> * Seth closes his eyes a little and leans back. "Musta been walking harder then I thought..."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I never heard of such before... but maybe. Something felt wrong in the valley. Maybe there's some flower blooming there that's reaching us? Good thing we went around then..
01<@DeathStar> 6* A rock hits Aschae's shoulder, lightly
<Kit> <Nephilim> Maybe someone's using magic.
<Kit> 6Aschae turns her head, frowning with her eyes still closed
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lets out a big yawn and turns the meat.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hmm. My curiousity is getting tickled. I want to go investigate now. 6He lets out a sigh.
<Kit> 6Zeal's head nods dozedly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at them all, and Soma bites Zeal's nipple hard
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, we seem to be doing better than the others, maybe because me and Valen are half elf and Nephilim is full?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Another rock from the woods lands near Aschae
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile mumbles and sits to rest, saying Azhren can watch this time.
<Kit> 6Aschae rises, moving toward the rocks
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's possible. 6He shifts slightly to lean out to try and peer down at the group to check on them.
<Seraphna> * Seth grumbles a bit and hits the back of his head against the trunk, rubbing it, opening his eyes. "Bit better..." *shakes his head*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan half dozes while turning the meat.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean leans over and shakes Kaelan
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma grrs and bites again
<Kit> 6Zeal shrieks
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael pokes her head down and sees most of them sitting there still
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and shakes her head. "Mmm? Huh? I was just..."
01<@DeathStar> <Soma> Mew! Roar! Grr!
<Xanatos> <Valen> What should we do?
<Kit> <Nephilim> Magic that doesn't affect elves?
<Kit> <Zeal> Soma!!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> No idea; I really don't know. Why are all the monsters gone?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma jerks and looks meek, then mewls
<Seraphna> * Seth peers over at Soma. "Huh? What is it boy?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> This is certainly nothing I've never encountered before.
<Xanatos> <Valen> The only thing I could think of is to get free of this area, but I'm not sure we could get them free right now.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks at the others, then gently shakes Mercy. "Hon... we have more preparation before bed..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy seems to be asleep and not responding
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ... well this place doesn't feel wrong like theo ther, so maybe we're only near it; if we travel a few more miles away...
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns a little. "Jean...? You feeling alright?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks to her.
<Xanatos> <Valen> We should try. It's possible I just didn't give enough room for whatever the bad feeling is.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean feel tired as you all close your eyes...
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael begins to climb back down
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves as well, not as nimble as Rachael and Nephilim, mostly because of his armor and shield, but nimble enough.
<Seraphna> * Seth starts forcing himself to stand in spite of his exhaustion. "Usually go a lot longer then this..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma moves over and bites Mercy, but gets no reaction than a sleep grunt
<Seraphna> Seth> "Damn that woman's a deep sleeper..."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean worried about Mercy; feel like she getting weaker.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean leans forward, frowning, and looks ready to transfer over life energy
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm... need to wake her up somehow."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael lands. "We need to go I think."
<Seraphna> * Seth pulls out a waterskin and splashes Mercy with some cold water.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen puts his fingers into his mouth and lets out a shrill whistle. 1Immediately. Let's go.
<Kit> 6Azhren shakes Faile, grunting.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy remains asleep. Faile opens her eyes slowly, eyeing Azhren. "You big oaf, I'm sleeping."
<Kit> 6Nephilim drops, straddling Mercy, grabs her and shakes her with both arms.
<Kit> <Azhren> There's a problem.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances around. 1Where's the creepy staff woman?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenenth eyes them all, putting up her carving. "She walked off a bit that way." 6* She nods
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes the direction she went, checking to see if it's towards the eeeevil.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans over and stays loudly. "Your mistress' dinner is burning Mercy!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy is shaken and her head lolls about like one does when out cold
01<@DeathStar> 6* It doesn't seem so
<Seraphna> Seth> "We'll have to carry her." *he douses his own face with water and shakes his head to try and get the cobwebs out*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Rachael, lead them away. I'll go find Aschae.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "The supplies..."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Okay. <Jean> Should Jean give Mercy energy?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas snoozes
<Kit> 6Zeal jerks, then shakes Thomas vigorously
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth rises and grabs Mercy's bulk of the supplies, and Rachael grabs some herself
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm, what if that puts you to sleep?"
<Kit> 6Nephilim narrows her eyes, then pinches Mercy's nipples.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas is shaken and barely opens one eye. "Yes?"
<Kit> <Zeal> Thomas!! Get up!!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts and moves out after Aschae quickly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy cries mutely, but doesn't get up, though Jean nods eagerly at Nephilim. "That helped some!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas forces himslf up like he were dead weight. "What...is wrong?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs. She reaches under Mercy's skirt and does something, her free hand caressing a spot on Mercy's neck.
<Seraphna> * Seth just stares.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen finds ASchae walking back
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers at Aschae. 1Where did you go?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy cries mutely again, but it seems the stimulation, while not waking her, keeps her breathing from slowing down as it was beginning to. Thomas peers at the scene, grabbing supplies. Soma mewls tiredly and lays down
<Kit> <Aschae> I thought I sensed something. I was wrong. But there is something wrong with the air here.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes that's why I came to find you. We're leaving now.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs, "Give her just a bit Jean, do NOT tire yourself out." *she then leans down and gently nibbles on part of Mercy's neck*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean does so and finally Mercy's eyes flicker open, then she looks red in the face. "I-I a failed to serve di-dinner!"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan kisses her cheek. "Shh, now stay awake, something bad is happening here trying to make us fall asleep. You're not at fault."
<Seraphna> * Seth turns away, trying to hide his grin.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen motions her to follow him, then moves back towards the others.
<Kit> <Zeal> There is something wrong.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy then pauses, peering down at Kaelan's other hand, then her, looking blank
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas scoops up Soma, and once Rachael hears Valen, she begins to move ahead. "Come on, follow me."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slips it away and blushes. "I was... trying to wake you. We tried a few things."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> You do not have to explain yourself to me, Lady Kaelan. 6* She says in her submissive tone, keeping the neutral expression. She strains to sit up but looks to weak to move
<Seraphna> * Kaelan then picks up Mercy and shoulders a pack as well, Seth takes the rest of her supplies.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean rises, looking worn out too and grabs some bags, moving with Lenneth, Faile, and Rachael
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Just keep awake." *she starts to move, Seth moving after them*
<Kit> <Azhren> No rest for the wicked.
<Seraphna> * Seth hums a little to himself, very stimulated.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen comes up on the group and continues on, picking up any loose objects scattered around.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth blinks. "We are wicked?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "Sometimes. In a good way."
<Kit> 6Azhren grunts.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael troops them hard and quickly energy would deplete for the group. Mercy's eyes begin to drift downward.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Azhren never is though. Poor guy."
<Kit> 6Nephilim spanks Mercy
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy jerks with a startled noise, but peers at Nephilim apologetically
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas shakes Soma awake, who bites his thumb
<Kit> 6Zeal frowns, browsing a handwritten booklet trying to find a source for their ailing
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a bit. "Try talking dear, tell me some recipes."
<Kit> 6Nephilim smirks at Mercy
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zeal's foot catches a root and she begins to pitch forward
<Kit> <Zeal> G-Gah!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen reaches out to try and catch Zeal.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Um... 6* She begins to blankly recite various dinners the King ate, with stuff most of the group has never tasted due to prices
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen's heroic actions grabs Zeal and pulls her close. Thomas peers back, as if sad he didn't save her
<Seraphna> * Kaelan keeps her going by asking how they taste and what certain things are like.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pats her. 1Eyes ahead. 6He smirks and moves on.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they move, KAelan, due to the weight of Mercy and sacks, as well as Zeal would begin to tire out, being smaller females. Faile also looks like she's having troubles, and Mercy's words no longer make sense
<Kit> <Zeal> Thanks.." 6She rubs her eyes and yawns.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan yawns and shakes her head. "Someone... carry Mercy for me...? Mercy... don't fall asleep... what's... what's the recipe for that cake again...?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> It doesn't seem we're making much progress. 6He says with a hint of annoyance, shifting to take on some of Kaelan's weight. Mostly Mercy.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> We'll make it, i'm sure of it; just a bit more. My gut tells me
<Kit> <Zeal> Can we... not rest a bit..?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean rubs her eyes and looks rugged herself, while Lenneth and Aschae look on par with Neph and Rach
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm..."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> No...no Zeal....we cannot. Would you marry me? 6* He mumbles without thinking
<Seraphna> * Seth blinks his eyes awake.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan reaches over and pinches Mercy's rear after she's in Valen's arms.
<Xanatos> <Valen> No rest. 6He calls out sternly.
<Kit> <Aschae> Sad to see I have the most discipline, even moreso than the desert rose archer.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy jerks at the pinch. "L-Lady Kaelan.."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm... stay awake."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Hrmm... discipline, yes."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Seems like you're enjoying yourself. 1He says dryly.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Marry? That is a type of union? 6* She asks, looking mildly rugged
<Xanatos> 6* Action to the las tbit!
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Mercy and Kaelan sisterly friends. 6* She says with emphasis, nodding
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers back at Kaelan at that and trips over a root, falling and hitting the ground, due to being ahead
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Gotta... work on her defintions, but... Rach!"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves over to help her up.
<Kit> <Zeal> Of course... you're merry...
<Xanatos> <Valen> Right. Of course. 6He shakes his head slightly.
<Kit> 6Aschae leans by Rachael, helping her up with her free hand.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Uhrn? No, no, not that... the other word... you're pretty.
<Kit> <Zeal> Hee... you're... handsome..
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods to the two with the help and rubs her face, then pauses; a single monster roar is heard in the distance
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses slightly, tilting his head to try and gauge the direction of the roar.
01<@DeathStar> 6* To their north
<Kit> <Aschae> Hm.. that's new.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...Is that... in our way?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I-
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I-f there's a monster out there, then it means it might be safe
<Xanatos> <Valen> North. We should head that way honestly. It's not the direction of Rachael's bad feeling and it means that the haze causing this tired feeling might not be that far.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Getting any bad feelings from that monster then?" *he taps his bow*
<Kit> <Aschae> Perhaps, or perhaps that creature is calling us.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Maybe it is the source, too?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy's eyes droop again in the middle of blueberry cake
<Kit> 6Nephilim drops from the trees again, stretching. 1"Possibly! Can't tell."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods and hurries in that direction, and Faile leans on Azhren, a first ever
<Xanatos> <Valen> If so then we can slay it and be done with this nonsense. 6He shifts his direction, reaching up to pat Mercy's face. 1Keep talking.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy jerks at the pat. "Yes, sorry, Lord Valen...blue berry cake takes...."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans over to Mercy and says, "You can do it Mercy, stay awake, you're a good maid. Keep awake for Zeal's good. For mine." She tries to use a little Inspiration.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods, obeying as best as she can
<Kit> 6Azhren pats Faile's shoulder.
<Kit> <Zeal> ...Ti.. red..
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas moves over and grabs Zeal in a kiss, kissing her passionately hard and carrying her ahead; Rachael hurries as best she can, and they reach a slope, stumbling down it a bit and then rolling comically down the jungle hill
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tries to slide all cool like carrying his trophy princess maid.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Looks like fun!" 6She rolls forward on purpose.
<Kit> 6Aschae pauses, peering down it, raising an eyebrow-- with her eyes shut.
<Seraphna> * Seth talks like a dirty sailor as he rolls down. Kaelan squeals a bit as she stumbles down.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth watches, then casually leaps on Seth and rides him down
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas runs down with Zeal as he kisses, and when he reaches the bottom tumbles so she lands on top of him; before them is a strange beast unlike anything seen before, perhaps even a Hunter Monster due to it's size; with three heads, one a tigoar, one a bearoar, and one a birdsong, it screehes, walking forward on four legs, and three tails, like lizardtails, swish
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile uses Azhren to get her down, and Jean tries sliding down as best she can, making dainty noises all the way
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slides to a stop and pauses. 1Well that's...
<Seraphna> * Seth comes up from the tumble putting an arm around Lenneth, he waggles his eeybrows at her. "Enjoy the ride?" He then peers at the monster. "Mmm, quite the trophy monster."
<Kit> 6Aschae tosses down her staff and "snowboards" down.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slowly pulls herself up, grabbing her sword and shield.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to move and set Mercy down off to the side and then looks back to the monster, eyeing to see just how violent it might seem.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks up and eyes as it breathes a mist out and that hits her, and her eyes roll up and sher falls over, unconscious
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at him. "More so than others."
<Xanatos> <Valen> We found the problem. 6He notes with an annoyed look, pulling out his saber and shield he shifts to begin stepping forward.
<Seraphna> Seth> "A... Chimera... I think." *he pulls out his bow, holding several arrows with the bow itself, knocking one to the string*
01<@DeathStar> 6* The monster roars again, all three heads peering at them, each looking at particular people. Jean stumblesup to her feet and grabs a sword from the sell pile, holding it up like Valen showed her
<Xanatos> 6* Valen motions with his sword, strafing to the right to try and keep it's attention on him. 1Come'on, let's have at it!
<Seraphna> Seth> "All three heads need to be killed or severed, else it'll just keep moving." *he moves slowly to the left*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves in front of Jean protectively.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The bird head focuses on Valen and screeches at him, sending sonic waves at him to knock him over if they connect
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth draws her sword, and Faile tries to get ready, but Azhren might could tell she's pretty depleted.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow and jerks to dive away.
<Kit> <Aschae> Convenient. I didn't plan on leaving it any heads.
<Kit> <Azhren> Not a good idea, Lady Faile.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> But---
<Kit> <Azhren> ... Me... either.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The bear head chops down at Seth to try to eat him, while the tigoar head sees a sleepy Soma and leans in to eat him
<Xanatos> 6* Valen rolls to his feet and aims with his crossbow to fire a bolt for the eagle's eye, the left'n.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The eagle's eye is struck and it screeches terriblely, shaking it about
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves to strike at the Tigroar head as it moves in, chopping her sword at it. Seth dives to one side as the Bearoar head comes down and fires at arrow at it's eye.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth's strikes as well, which causes all the heads to shake about and KAelan's attack to miss. It turns and it's tails face them now, each stomping the ground and shaking it, and it moves in closer to strike
<Xanatos> 6* Valen cuts out for one of the tails, the right most one since that's where he's located.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Neph! Now's a good time to get on top of it!" *She backs away, careful of Jean, leading her back.
<Kit> 6Nephilim holds out her hands, reciting the lyrics to the song of flame
<Seraphna> * Seth steps backwards slowly, taking one arrow from his bow hand and readying it again, looking around the base of the tales for a sore spot.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The tail is sliced, and it roars in pain; the flame begins to appear in front of Nephilim, waiting on a note to aim it
01<@DeathStar> 6* The tail swishes side to side at Valen, about stomach level, to knock him over
<Seraphna> * Seth fires an arrow for the base of the tail that's attacking Valen.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts his shield around, but it still knocked onto his back, cursing his ATB for not beign full so he can attack again!
01<@DeathStar> 6* The arrow bounces off the leathery tail
<Seraphna> * Seth tisks and readies a third arrow. "Tough hide."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen attempts to roll to the left to get up to his knees, he woudl attack the tail again with a slice if he has the reach.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen's sword cuts into the tail, leaving it half cut, and the other two tails retaliate by trying to smash in Nephilim before the fire is launched
<Kit> 6Nephilim starts to direct the fire to available swords and such, reaching to pull out her knife from the thigh
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen's sword begins to glow with fire
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow at that magic and attempts to put it to use and cleave right through the halved tail.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth flips and cuts into a tail about to hit Nephilim, slicing into it, while Jean pulls her back
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Valen cleaves, the fire begins to burn the rest of the tail, working it's way up to it's hide
<Seraphna> * Kaelan shifts around as Jean pulls neph back and slices at the other tail.
<Kit> 6Nephilim blinks, then giggles within her song as she's saved
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes a step back to ready himself for retaliation before he strikes again.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Both tails are injured slightly, but the fire makes the creature howl so it turns back around to face them with the heads
01<@DeathStar> 6* The tigoar head howls the sleep breath at Nephilim and Kaelan and Jean
<Kit> 6Aschae darts past Valen, the rings of her staff passing across Valen's sword with a squeal before she swings it and tries a combo for the tigoar head while it starts to howl
<Seraphna> Seth> "I see, poor Bessy doesn't like fire." *he takes a shot at the Tigroar face's mouth as it howls.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The tigoar's head is hit by the fired up staff and it's face begins to burn, causing it to thrash; the tigoar head seems weak to fire
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow at Aschae's actions and then moves to the right, getting back in line with the bird face.
01<@DeathStar> 6* And then Seth's arrow enter it's mouth, causing damage inside. The bear and eagle heads get pissed, and the eagle tries to pick Valen's face, while the bear face leans down to chomp at Jean
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grabs Jean, moving her to one side, hoping she takes Neph with her.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks his shield up for protection as he tries to slide back.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean does, squealing in surprise
01<@DeathStar> 6* The peck hits the shield with so much force it dents it a bit, but the bird head is foiled, leaning back. Lenneth speaks. "Try other magic elements on the faces if you have them!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas rocks Zeal to keep her awake while Mercy is out again
<Seraphna> * Seth aims an arrow at the Bear, firing at it's damaged face.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Try Earth on the Bird, Wind on the Bear?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Unfortunately I do not. 6He sighs at the dented shield, looking liek he's hiding some pain as well, then moves in quickly attempting to cut out for the side of the bird's face.
<Kit> 6Aschae twirls her staff, thrusting the end at the bear's head, her other hand bringing up her hand and trying to ensare the creature with the earth
01<@DeathStar> 6* The arrow hits it, distracting it long enough for the end to strike the bear's head, and the earth grabs the creatures' legs, entangling it. So the three heads, though one is practically dead, do a combine howl that sends shockwaves, sleep mist, and sharp teeth spikes at the group; PREPARE YO'SELVES
01<@DeathStar> 6* Up, Up, Left, Right, Down, Right, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left, Up
01<@DeathStar> 5
01<@DeathStar> 4
01<@DeathStar> 3
<Xanatos> ddrlulrdulrd
<Kit> ddrldlrdulrd
01<@DeathStar> 2
01<@DeathStar> 1
<Seraphna> ddrlulrdulrd
01<@DeathStar> -0-
01<@DeathStar> 6* One tiny shockwave knocks Aschae over, while the rest manages to avoid it all; ASchae would find no real damage due to only being clipped
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves forward now and shifts to swipe out at the bird head again.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan attempts to blast the Bear head with Gale Burst in retaliation.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen's sword strikes the bird's head, ripping off it's beak in a blood display, and Lenneth stabs the bear head, making it shudder and die as well, since Kaelan's wind burst hits it and damages it greatly
<Kit> <Aschae> Mr, more discipline still.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The final head, bleeding and swqaking, turns, trying to get it's tails back toward the group
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks around and shifts to leap, sword aimed out so he can stab and then start climbing.
<Seraphna> * Seth moves with it as it turns and tries to get a shot at it with his bow as he does.
<Kit> 6Aschae frowns, closing her hand and attempts to use the earth to crush it
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Aschae does it, the legs break and the monster falls forward, screeching as Valen stabs into it and climbs; the bow hits the bird's head and weakens it more, the tigoar head trying to snap blindly
<Seraphna> * Seth clucks and holds out his hand, firing a fireball for the Tigroar head.
<Kit> 6Nephilim stops singing as she springs, stabbing for the tigoar head's throat
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to climb, trying to get towards the tiger's head, the top at least so he can stab down for the back of it's neck, hopefully the spine area.
01<@DeathStar> 6* With all the attacks, the Chimera jerks, twists, and falls dead; no doubt if they take ah ead for proof, they might get good money in town
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael stirs, as does all those inflicted by the bad air
<Seraphna> * Seth moves over and starts to cut, collecting the proper trophy heads like a good Hunter.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts around to fall down, using his sword to slow his fall but also uses it to try and cut the head off the tigroar.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Good man, get all three for verification... and some of the hide too."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to Seth. 1I'll leave that up to you. 6He moves to check on Rachael.
<Kit> <Zeal> What... happened?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan checks on Jean and Mercy.
<Seraphna> * Seth starts cutting Chimera hide for later crafting and selling use, whistling industriously.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean looks pale at Seth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits up, shaking her head groggily; Mercy sits up, looking dazed
<Kit> <Nephilim> He's kind of creepy. Reminds me of those trophymaker people.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth nods at Nephilim. Thomas kisses Zeal again. "They saved us."
<Kit> <Zeal> Oh... th-thank you... everyone.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Looks like we found your bad feeling I believe.
<Seraphna> * Seth looks back at Jean and winks. "Remember, we don't waste what we kill."
<Seraphna> * Seth packs up a sizable portion and discreetly puts the head in a sack so no one has to look at them.
<Kit> 6Azhren shakes Faile.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan hugs Jean and kisses her cheek. "You okay?" *she gently shakes Mercy*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile opens her eyes. "Eh...is it dead?"
01<@DeathStar> <JEan> I-I know, but---it looks mean
01<@DeathStar> <MErcy> I feel...less tired...though my butt is sore
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. You beat it I see. I'm glad you're back, narven. 6* She hugs him
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns and nods. "Sorry, it's not meant to be mean. We can use the hide for armor that will protect us, or to make other things."
<Kit> 6Nephilim spanks Mercy several times, giggling. 1"That's from me!"
<Kit> <Azhren> It is dead, indeed.
<Xanatos> <Valen> It bent my shield. 6He says with a frown, looking more upset about that than anything.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy jerks and peers at Nephilim submissively. "L-Lady Nephilim..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael awws and pats him comfortingly
<Kit> <Nephilim> Hee-- aiee!" 6She jumps as Aschae swats her and Mercy both, smirking.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I know. You should tell it thank you though for providing you with the necessary materials
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy jerks and looks more meek
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth pauses, then hits Aschae's rear as well
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms. 1I suppose I should get it repaired now. 6He says after a second. 1But at least I'm hear to protect everyone. 6He winks.
<Kit> 6Nephilim glares at Aschae, then pauses, much like Aschae, and both peer at Lenneth
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Valen, when we camp I can fix that."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> This is not some victory slap that people do?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits. "We should camp here; I'm too tired to take another step, even with the air purified."
<Seraphna> * Seth nods and thinks, he bows his head. "Thank you, mighty beast, for what you've provided us."
<Kit> <Aschae> Not exactly. But I would be glad to 'celebrate' if you wish. Huhuhu.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles and smiles. Mercy moves to begin to make a fire, despite still being weak
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods. 1Alright, thank you Kaelan. 6He shifts to start setting up camp, starting with setting up tents first.
<Kit> 6Nephilim makes a face and scoots away from Aschae.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I can do that in a moment, Mercy.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Alright, that would be nice; I will look about for a spring, too, so we can wash off that monster's scent from us
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth bows and steps off.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I could not possiblely let you do it, Sir Valen; it is my duty as the group's maid and Lady Zeal's servant
<Seraphna> * Seth keeps doing inventory on the beast, he winks at Jean.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean moves over to help Valen, all smiles. "It feels like old times."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'll help her, Valen." *she moves over to help as well* "I'm Jean's maid, after all."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You're tired. I'm sure you can take a break just this once. 6He assures her, then smiles and nods at Jean.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Remember to massage everyone, too, Maid Kaelan! 6* She giggles and smiles back at Valen
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, in three more days we'll be clear of this jungle. I'll almost miss it
<Kit> 6Aschae walks over, resting an arm around Jean.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes. "I-I..."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan watches Aschae.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at Aschae, smiling.
01<@DeathStar> <JEan> Yes?
<Kit> <Aschae> Jean, sweetie, are you feeling alright now?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen mumbles something about not wanting a massage, but keeps working on pitching tents, nayuck nayuck.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I feel better --- I Was getting tired when all of you were getting tired, since I was feeding those of you with marks extra energy. 6* She looks sheepishly down, since Kaelan told her not to do that
<Kit> <Aschae> Want to take a bath with Lenneth and I, then?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns and sighs, moving to help Valen with the tents. "You coudl always give me a massage, Valen."
<Kit> 6Nephilim narrows her eyes and shoves Kaelan from behind.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow at the shove. 1Sorry Kaelan but I'm spoken for.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan eeps and blinks, nearly falling over. "N-Neph!?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I-It was a joke! Y-You can have him." *she looks hurt*
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Sure!
<Seraphna> * Seth lets out a whistle and cuts some meat.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles and pokes Kaelan. "I bet Zeal would do the smae thing if you asked Thomas for a massage. Thomas, would you give me a massage?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas flusters
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma prances over and mewls at the group, as if demanding a reward for saving the day
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes.
<Kit> <Nephilim> Don't know what you're talking 'bout!
<Seraphna> * Seth cuts some Chimara meat. "Soma, here yah go boy. Your cut."
<Kit> <Aschae> Lovely." 6She kisses Jean's cheek, leaving he arm around her and leading her off while the others are distracted
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Then why did you shove me?" *she blinks confused*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma moves over to eat it happily, puffing his chest out
<Seraphna> * Seth peers over at Aschae, watching her as he pets Soma.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't think Nephilim knows why she does what she does. Besides, what if I wanted to marry you, le narvan?" 6* She blinks cutely at her
<Xanatos> 6* Valen watches Aschae and Jean walk off, arching a brow.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma purrs happily. Thomas puts his arm around Zeal as if to assure her would not be unfaithful
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soon Valen ahs the three tents set up and there's a fire going; Mercy begins to fidget, trying to get in to help but likely cut off by others
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks over following Valen's gaze, then follows after Jean and Aschae.
<Kit> <Nephilim> I-- I tripped.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm going to go attend Jean..."
<Kit> 6Zeal rests her head on Thomas' shoulder
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts over to Nephilim now and puts his arm around her. 1It's okay, sometimes I want to push her too. 6He whispers.
<Kit> <Nephilim> O-Of course! It's natural!
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Lady Kaelan, you're suppose to help cook this food with me
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy chides
<Seraphna> * Kaelan jerks to a stop, "B-But... shouldn't I help Jean bathe too?"
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I am sure Lady aSchae and LAdy Lenneth will be enough. Unless you believe making food for her is unimportant. 6* She is getting the meat ready to cook
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smirks at Nephilim and pulls his arm back to himself. 1You're cute when embarassed.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes and moves over to sit by Mercy and help. "O-Of course I think it's important... sorry Mercy."
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns a bit but continues harvesting the beast, feeding Soma, he focuses his mind on Jean though.
<Kit> <Nephilim> I'm not embarassed.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods, then begins to instruct on how to cook this particular meat properly. Rachael watches Valen and Nephilim thoughtfully, not saying anything
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma eats at the meat greedily, getting a potbelly
<Xanatos> <Valen> You're not? Hmm. You must be cute all the time then. 6He smirks and then glances to Rachael as if proud of himself.
<Kit> <Nephilim> ... Wha..
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles. "I did not know my narven was such a flirt." 6* She peers at Zeal, then at Nephilim and Valen, smiling softly
<Seraphna> * Kaelan listens, following the instructions carefully. She seems to really give Mercy a lot of her attention and respect.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen opens his mouth then pauses and closes it, giving a slight shrug.
01<@DeathStar> -END-
