01<@DeathStar> Date: Around Time of Last
01<@DeathStar> Location: Matias
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen leads Aschae, Azhren, Nephilim, Zeal, and Thomas toward the farmhouse, having heard Rachael's whistle to indicate a detour - originally they planned to avoid the roads and farms but for some reason the other group went that way.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas checks Zeal over worriedly, knowing she was with Carly last night, though Zeal hasn't said how it turned out due to it not being RPed yet. Carly currently isn't with the group
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen peers back. "We're almost at the last place of the whistle; it wasn't Rachael's whistle though. I think it was Jean's." 6* He sounds deeply worried.
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Well, then where are they?!
01<@DeathStar> <Valen> We'll see. Maybe Rachael's throat got tired... 6* As they come up on a nice farm, they'd see Mercy outside the farmhouse, looking worried and fidgeting. She's been pale ever since the caves the previous night, and when she sees them, hurries toward Zeal specifically, calling out for Jean to hear.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Lady Zeal, Lady Zeal! You must hurry.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean steps out, holding a four year old girl, and an older man and his wife step out after them, peering at the group, but not warily - apparantly Jean's already sweettalked them somehow
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Lady Al'ryl..!" 6She waves
<Ametsune> <Zeal> What is wrong, Mercy?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas cleans his glasses, frowning a bit, and Mercy lets out a breath, shaking with fear. <Mercy> We found some slavers after this girl - and they said they worked for Daemon." 6* She peers at Nephilim, remembering the two of them together and how Neph promised herself to him to protect the majority of the girls
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Lady Lenneth was mad, and so was Sir Seth, so they went to find their base with the two slavers and told Lady Jean and I to find this farm for the little girl we rescued.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> It has been quite some time now. 6* The sun is already in the process of afternoon setting
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Who's Daemon?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean moves over with the girl, frowning worriedly, clearly agitated. "They said I couldn't come because Jean could sense them. But something happened - Jean lost their location as if they fell asleep."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy reminds Nephilim, yet again, about the slaver in Nuege who ran the operation
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> You and Slaver Daemon seemed to have- --- a connection. He would not let any touch you
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Oh. That's not good.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> ... that slaver who hurt Zeal... 6* He looks angered, having not been with them when that happened
01<@DeathStar> 6* The girl peers at them all. "Are they your friends, Miss Jean?" <Jean> No. They're Jean's family.
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Hopefully nothing has happened, but some of us should probably check..?
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> It would probably be better to go in force ... though ... I suppose one or two should remain to protect the girl and Lady Jean. We can't let a slaver get her and sell her to the church
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean pouts. "But JEan is the leader!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Valen frowns at hearing Rachael is missing and swlavers, and stalks off without a word to do heroic and stupid things off screen
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Lady Nephilim might not remember, but...that man was not normal, Sir Thomas. I think he had magic.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Did he really?
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> He did not seem...normal. That brute wanted to rape you but feared him greatly. 6* She trembles; the men did rape her, though the other two got away without any touching.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas hugs Zeal to himself; she'd know he never forgave himself for any stress brought onto her by them
<Ametsune> <Zeal> He was quite different...
<Ametsune> <Aschae> A slaver that's different-- how reassuring,
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Can you try to feel them out harder, Jean? <Jean> Can try. Mercy should stay here with Emma. 6* Mercy bows and takes the girl gratefully
01<@DeathStar> 6* A young boy NPC, perhaps the farmer's son, played by Sera, walks up with a pitchfork, wanting to come along and be a hero - as young boys do
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Oh my, a brave one?
<Ametsune> 6Aschae kneels, patting his head, smile.
<Sera> * Tata has a coin on a rope around his neck, looking up at her. "I'm ready to go fight the slavers!"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Tata could do more good here protecting Lady Mercy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy blushes at 'lady', peering down
<Sera> Tata> "P-Protect a pretty Lady like her? Me? Really?"
<Ametsune> <Aschae> I agree.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I would be honored, sir Tata.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Emma giggles in Mercy's hands
<Sera> * Tata looks at Mercy with a crush. "I'll do it! Don't you worry!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean pauses. "Jean feels Kaelan finally. She is near. We should go meet here --- in case... she is in trouble. Jean not want to bring trouble here."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes, I agree. 6* He nods
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy smiles and holds out a free hand to him
<Sera> * Tata takes the hand.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy walks back toward the house, peering at the old farmer and his wife with a smile; her maid outfit is torn in places, making her show thigh and midrift, and Zeal would know that embarrasses her
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, let us go. 6* Jean nods and begins to lead them ahead. Thomas takes Zeal's hand to follow
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I have heard some reports about Daemon. ... 6* He notes as they walk
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> He is known as Daemon the Demon. He appeared within the last five years and has been solidating the Slavers around Tareh, having brought under his control 60% of the slave trade - mostly in Navarro, Nuege, and Matias. The other 40% is mostly in Sinai and pirates in the waters who hide in uncharted islands outside the Island Nations, and since the church has an iron (cont)
01<@DeathStar> grip on the Island Nations, there's little there. The slave trade has been changing somewhat, from what I understand - for example, I have heard from people who have confessed to using slavers to buy children when the woman was barren. Likely that girl you found, Jean, was to be sold to a family who cannot have kids. The kids are never harmed. That was quite different (cont)
01<@DeathStar> from years before Daemon, when girls were raised to learn sex acts without losing their virginity. Despite this, Daemon is desciple - elves and halflings sell the best, virgins sell the next best. That has not changed
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Are you trying to say that it' is a nobler trade?
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I'm saying we cannot underestimate this bastard. He's changing it, but he's not eliminated it. He kept his word to Nephilim, yet they raped Mercy. And if Mercy is right, he can use magic. We need to be careful. Only a charmistic man could take control of 60% of the trade and change things about it without having revolts
<Ametsune> <Zeal> I agree.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Does this mean I can fight another mystic without holding back?" 6She grins, trouble in her eyes
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I say none of us should hold back
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean have question
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Why would someone want to take control of every bad group? Wouldn't that be hard? Jean thought Tareh big so that lot of land
01<@DeathStar> 6* As she asks, the wind shifts and smoke begins to blow in their faces from some trees ahead - perhaps a fire
01<@DeathStar> 6* As the smoke fills the air about them, the group begins to black out and grow weak. Thomas sways and Jean begins to pitch forward
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aschae and Zeal begin to grow weak as well and the black out a moment later
01<@DeathStar> 6* The smoke begins to affect Nephilim next
01<@DeathStar> 6* Then she falls over, knocked out
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> What the...
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim faceplants, twitching
01<@DeathStar> 6* 15 men ride out on horse back with Daemon there, and Kaelan on his horse.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Was all this nessecary...?"
01<@DeathStar> <Daemon> ... 6* He smooths his red hair back, peering at Aschae a moment like she might be a real threat, then at Nephilim. "Yes. The raven haired woman is strong. Very strong."
<Sera> Kaelan> "...As long as you keep your promise..." *she sighs a little, closing her eyes*
01<@DeathStar> 6* He motions with a hand at his men. "Pick them up and put them on your horses. If any of you hurt or defile any of these women, you will be punished." 6* Some of them shudder. One man, out of Daemon's sight, scowls like he might be a trouble maker, and lifts Zeal up.
01<@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aschae and Zeal would awaken in a room with Kaelan, all of them chained with steel chains behind their back, with a single bed that they're on. Their hair is all down and they've been stripped down to their underwear only, clearly searched for hidden items. Kaelan would have seen them searched and not one man touched them wrong
<Sera> * Kaelan sighs softly, watching them wake.
01<@DeathStar> 6* A collar is on them that seems to keep their power neutralized, and Aschae would recognize it as Church made, possiblely stolen
01<@DeathStar> 6* One advantage, though, Aschae would know how to get it off; a button in the back would do it, though she can't do it iwth her own hands
<Sera> * Kaelan seems to just sit back and wait, she spends most of her energy focusing on the mark, monitoring Jean.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Heh. Figures...
<Sera> Kaelan> "He's supressing out magic somehow... he promised to let us all go, Jean included and alive if we don't do anything..." *she looks downtrodden*
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Ah, right, because he's the "honorable" slaver.
<Sera> Kaelan> "...He was about to have Lenneth raped, I didn't have much choice..."
<Sera> Kaelan> "He also seems to even know she is Lenneth..."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Does he now?" 6She narrows her eyes.
<Sera> * Kaelan nods. "I called her Nell and he sort of mocked the name."
<Sera> Kaelan> "He did prevent all of us from being raped too. I don't know what to think about this man, he's shades of gray, not black and white."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Enough. Can any of you reach me? More specifically my neck?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Since they can move about on the bed, one should
<Sera> Kaelan> "Probably... what are you thinking?"
<Ametsune> <Aschae> I'm thinking you can remove my collar so I can destroy this place.
<Sera> Kaelan> "...With everyone inside it?"
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Of course, my dear. I just love ritual suicide with friends.
<Sera> * Kaelan frowns. "He said if we moved against him he'd have all of us raped and the men killed."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> All the more reason to leave none of them alive.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Are you sure about this? You have to get to Jean before he can do her harm. How do I even remove these collars?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The door opens and that man that looked like he planned to disobey Daemon steps in, sword in hand, and two men with him. "See boys? I told you these bitches were plotting against Daemon."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Pretty simple. There's a button on the back of the neck. Slaves have their hands bound anyway, after all." 6She smiles at the one coming in.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The three men approach Kaelan and Zeal
<Sera> * Kaelan moves up behind Aschae as though cowering.
01<@DeathStar> 6* One man grabs Kaelan's leg to pull her away
<Sera> * Kaelan squirms and kicks out at his arm with all her strength. "Get off!"
<Ametsune> <Aschae> This is why you must do everything yourself. C'mere big boy." 6She says sultry to the disobedient one.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man jerks her off the bed to dangle her upside down. The man who spoke spits. "Daemon's a fool, making agreements. Someone should replace him. After we have our fun with these bitches. I get the raven hair elf.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man glares at ASchae and steps toward Aschae now. "Is that so?"
<Sera> * Kaelan squirms, kicking still. She yells loudly. "I said get off! Get off me!"
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Yes. You want my body, don't you?" 6She remains sitting calmly, almost beckoning him with her lashes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The large man slams her against the wall hard enough to take her breath away and rips off her underclothing easily, eyeing Kaelan as he presses her against the wall. The disobedient one walks toward Aschae, grabbing her legs and pulling her closer and grabbing at her panties next. The third one goes for Zeal, looking more cowardly
<Sera> * Kaelan whimpers, looking up in her moment of being stunned. "D-Daemon won't take kindly to this... y-you really think that man can beat him...?"
<Ametsune> <Zeal> You will regret this." 6She eyes him with hawk eyes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The cowardly one pauses, swallowing hard and nervously
<Ametsune> <Aschae> No, no, dear. You can't go directly for dessert, you have to start appropriate." 6She closes her eyes, leaning up toward him
01<@DeathStar> 6* The disobedient one slaps Aschae's face. "I'll go for what I want, bitch." 6* He yanks them off to prove her point
01<@DeathStar> 6* The larger man hesitates, then swallows a bit; he lets go of Kaelan. "I'm not feeling so good, Ralph..." <Ralph> Shut up. 6* The larger man sweats now
<Sera> Kaelan> "He has no magic, he could never get us to cooperate like Daemon can, you'll be second in line on the chopping block if you follow Ralph here."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The larger man tugs at his collar, and looks smokey, then his hair catches on fire. He screams and runs out of the room. The cowardly one freaks out and runs off next
<Sera> Kaelan> "What now Ralph? Are you going to touch my friend there? You feel like roasting too?"
<Ametsune> 6Aschae smirks, then shifts and bites into his hand, yanking him toward herself, throwing her knee up toward his gut, then an elbow toward his neck, shifting her body and then slams her head back toward his and shifts, slamming again down toward his nose to try and use it to undo her collar.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Ralph looks distracted and screams at the bite, then grunts at the knee to the gut, and elbow to the neck, a crack sound echoing, then the collar clicks off with Aschae's last move.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Ironically RAlph has a set of keys on him, too
<Sera> Kaelan> "...That was violent..."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Ah, much better.
<Ametsune> 6Aschae sits delicately on the edge of the bed, feeling about for the keys to undo her chains and shackles.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aschae gets the keys and frees herself easily.
<Sera> * Kaelan looks over at her. "There'll be more here in a second if that was you igniting them."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Oh no, I couldn't do a thing until I undid this." 6She twirls the collar.
01<@DeathStar> 6* There's a commotion outside in the hallway somewhere - apparantly something is going on
<Sera> Kaelan> "...Then Daemon did it. They say he burns his men when they disobey."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Two men march in with swords, eyeing Aschae free. "The prisoners are trying to escape."
<Sera> * Kaelan squirms against her bonds, moving to sit upright, crossing her legs due to her critch being bare.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Do we look like we're trying...?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men eye Aschae, then Kaelan
<Sera> Kaelan> "Those men tried to rape us."
<Sera> Kaelan> "She stopped one."
<Ametsune> 6Aschae waves jovially.
01<@DeathStar> <Men> And two were burned alive and the last is dead there. Now we will restrain you and you won't resistant and we will go. 6* He walks toward Aschae
<Sera> Kaelan> *looks between them, knowing that's really up to Aschae*
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Such a fuss to stretch my legs and put my panties back on.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man pauses. "Then do so. And your friend's."
01<@DeathStar> 6* He turns away, apparantly having been instructed not to look
<Sera> * Kaelan huffs and looks at Aschae.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> You heard them, sweetie.
<Ametsune> 6Aschae chuckles. 1"Best wrestle your man-eater away."
<Sera> * Kaelan positons herself so Aschae can dress her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The two guards shift impatiently, but fearing doing anything until those panties are on
<Ametsune> <Aschae> You really want me to? Oi. You bad little girl.
<Sera> Kaelan> "...Wouldn't being bad be me running about naked?"
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Depends on your personal interests, I suppose.
<Sera> * Kaelan blushes. "I... I..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men peer at Zeal as if to ask if this is usual
<Ametsune> 6Zeal simply nods, sighing.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> But do what you must." 6She waves a hand. 1"Run, be free."
<Sera> Kaelan> "I-I can't do anything, tied up, you need to put them on..."
01<@DeathStar> <Guard> A-ARe their panties on yet? 6* He mumbles to Zeal
<Ametsune> 6Zeal shakes her head, flustered.
01<@DeathStar> <Guard> Tell them to hurry; we were told if you didn't comply to bring one of the men in here....and that would be bad... 6* He tells her
<Sera> Kaelan> "Aschae... come on."
01<@DeathStar> 6* So far Aschae has the keys, no collar, and her cuffs are off.
<Ametsune> 6Aschae shrugs, slipping her panties on, giving Kaelan a patting console, then undoes the chain keeing her to the bed and shoves her out in front of the men,.
<Sera> * Kaelan eeps, stumbling in front of them.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men jerk as Kaelan stumbles naked in front of them, glad she didn't fall over with her legs spread or something
<Sera> * She tries to steady herself and falls against the wall, bent over sexily, tush and sex showing. She blushes hard.
<Ametsune> 6Aschae chuckles, holding Kaelan's bra.
<Sera> * Kaelan then turns around, bare breasts jiggling. "Wh-Why..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man jerk but seem to be thinking other thoughts; perhaps if Kaelan offered herself or did something more. It's clear they're sweating though
01<@DeathStar> <Man> I---lady... get back to the bed or we'll...
<Ametsune> 6Zeal jerks, flailing and tossling as Aschae tosses it over her head. She curses at her as Aschae starts undoing her restraints.
<Sera> "A-Am I supposed to... p-play with these boys?" *she squirms, causing her breasts to bounce a bit, her tone going cute*
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man flail and catch on fire, burning to ashes, the smell of human flesh burning filling the air; at that moment a new guard enters and shoves Thomas in, his face landing right in Zeal's breasts
<Sera> Kaelan> "Thomas! Think the prophecies over in your head, concentrate!"
<Ametsune> <Zeal> T-Thomas..! I--
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas blinks in c onfusion, seeing Zeal naked and freezing like a deer in headlights, clearing thinking about no prophecies. The guard snears, tossing Kaelan next to Zeal so they're pressed together breast wise
01<@DeathStar> <Man> Take a good look, man. Aren't they sexy?
<Ametsune> <Aschae> What about me?" 6She snorts, rubbing her wrists, then takes a hint from Faile and picks up some of the shackles, wrapping the chains around her ankles and wrists, putting the cuffs over her knuckles.
<Sera> * Kaelan rolls THomas off Zeal and holds his head down to the bed.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas begins to sweat, but then blinks in surprise under the bed.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man guard freezes, sneering in a gay way, then closes the door and locks it
01<@DeathStar> 6* He runs off
<Sera> KAelan> "Zeal, get dressed. This won't work, if the boys see us like this they'll start to catch fire too."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> On f-fire?
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Our own..? Why our own people?
<Sera> * Kaelan grabs her own undergarments and gets them on, she checks the piles of burnt men for a sword.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The sword seems to have melted, too
<Sera> Kaelan> "I think it's the place that's enchanted, Saemon protects them temporarily."
01<@DeathStar> 6* But there's 100 gold. Being a slaver base, no doubt gold is about
<Sera> * Daemon
<Sera> * Kaelan slips the gold into the cup of her bra and sighs, "We need to get the rest of the team, find our equipment, and get out of here."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas comes out from under the bed, eyes closed and looking sheepish
<Sera> * Kaelan dresses Zeal and frowns at the door, she undoes her collar, then Zeal's. She looks at Thomas. "We need to get out of here."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods, opening his eyes, eyeing the door. "Aschae's magic can probably destroy the door."
<Ametsune> <Aschae> But where to go..?" 6She closes her eyes as she usually does, but turns her head about, listening and feeling for other sources of leylines
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aschae feels about, but the angel's magic to her is weak, as if the angel isn't nearby.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Easy, find Jean, we can find the others with her."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The smae is true for Kael and Zeal
<Sera> Kaelan> "I know where Rachael and Seth were being kept, for that matter, Lenneth and Faile."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Azhren is with Seth
<Sera> Kaelan> "Mmm, if they can get free, they have a chance then."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas >Seth was looking..insane. He may be dangerous
<Sera> Kaelan> "He is, just not to us."
<Sera> Kaelan> "Fortune help those guards if he gets free, remember the men in prison?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I do
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> One of you need to take this door down. 6* He says. "Who knows if theo thers will be safe with these slavers. Did they hurt you, Zeal?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* He looks her over worriedly
<Ametsune> <Zeal> No, Thomas.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods and hugs her tenderly
<Sera> Kaelan> "Aschae? Can your earth magic break the lock?"
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Hm. Possibly, however it would be unwise to waste much right now.
<Sera> Kaelan> "We're low on options."
<Ametsune> 6Aschae walks toward the door, focusing on her magic, and slams her hand into it, dispersing a small amount to affect the earthen properties of the door itself
01<@DeathStar> 6* The door crumbles in and Thomas hurries out with Zeal. The guards seem to be missing right now
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Our beloved angel is in another castle.
<Sera> * Kaelan looks about and frowns, "MOre likely she has a collar on to suppress her abilities."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> .... 6* He frowns, leading them toward the cell with the men. Three guards stand outside it
<Sera> * Kaelan nods to Aschae as though signalling her to move in and leads her off with a Gale Burst at the men.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The men stumble and try to get back up when Thomas moves and hits one with his hand, waing it painfully
<Sera> * Kaelan moves in and attempts to throw a punch at the head of another, her hand darting for his sword, attempting to disarm him and take it.
<Sera> *her other hand, that is.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Kaelan removes the sword as two go down. The last guard goes still, in fear
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas takes a set of keys, opens the door, and moves in, freeing Azhren and Seth
<Ametsune> 6Aschae walks over, then high kicks and drops her heel into the one who's feigning fall
<Sera> * Kaelan turns the sword on the third man, attempting to bludgeon him with it before he can react.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The man grunts and is hit, out cold
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas steps out with the men; down the hall is a door labeled 'Armory'
<Sera> * Seth breathes slow. "Did we get the bastard yet...?"
<Sera> * Kaelan peers oever at it, she moves towards that door.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> We are working on it; do not get an erection. You will die
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Kaelan opens the door, she'd see all their stuff on the floor in bags
01<@DeathStar> 6* The rest of the armory is empty
<Sera> Seth> "Sounds like life around the woman I love in general." *he growls*
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> You should tell her your feelings
<Sera> Kaelan> "Gear is over here!" *she straps on her armor, then her swords and shield*
<Sera> Seth> "Think I might have."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, good for you. 6* He steps in and grabs his stuff, passing out the weapons to the others, then giving the bag to Azhren to carry with the rest
<Ametsune> <Aschae> How convenient. Is my staff available?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas hands ASchae her staff
<Ametsune> 6Azhren nods to him and takes it.
<Sera> Kaelan> *she then pockets the gear of those not with the party currently, setting it all in sack, and putting the gold together in one, joining the 100 coins with it*
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Good, all I want." 6She smiles, still in her panties and bra.
<Sera> * Seth moves to the armory and gets his gear, strapping on his quiver and bow, sheathing his broadsword. "I'm going to kill someone."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas peers at seth and nods simply. "Lead us to the other girls, Kaelan."
<Sera> * Kaelan adjusts her blouse over the armor and nods, moving out to head for Rachael's cell first. She draws a golden sword, having borred Nephilim's temporarily for the extra edge.
<Sera> *borrowed
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's cell has 5 more guards, all standing there boredly, muttering about the beautiful women inside and how they can't do them without dying and muttering that maybe Daemon isn't all he's cracked up to be
<Sera> * Seth holds some arrows with his bow and keeps one ready. His first one looses over Kaelan's shoulder, aimed for the head of the middle guard. He doesn't evene seem to blink as he notches the second arrow.
<Sera> * Kaelan begins to move forward, shield out and ready in her charge, sword to the side ready to strike at the first fool to get in her way.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The guard cries out a death scream and plummets over, and Kaelan strikes another one day before he can react, his blood splashing the walls. The other three grab their weapons, fumbling for them, as thomas strikes a third down
<Sera> * Seth aims and fires his arrow between the eyes of a fourth, firing, as Kaelan slips foward towards the fifth, swinging out low and long, under the defenses his fumbling weapon would provide.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth takes the fourth down and Kaelan the fifth. 500 gold spills the ground
<Ametsune> <Aschae> They do well for their trade.
<Sera> * Kaelan scoops up the gold as Seth looks for their keys.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth finds some
<Sera> * Seth uses it to unlock Rachael's door and moves in, working her bonds off.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seth would find Rachael, Faile, and Lenneth on the bed. Faile and Lenneth look annoyed, and are already unbound, having been working on it. Rachael thanks Seth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth rises and pulls her clothes on from the sack Azhren has, as does Faile. Rachael grabs her top and bottom quickly
<Sera> * Seth seems about as moved as a unic seeing them naked, ushering them out as Kaelan hands them their clothes and gear.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> So quick to cover up the view you offered the other day, my sweet Lenneth, my heart is broken.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth glances at Aschae. "I wish to kill these slavers. I'm not in the mood to give them a nice look before death." 6* She steps through the hallway with her sword.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> I'm afraid that will be impossible, in the garments you are now, you are yet still a vision of beauty.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As they trek across the hallway, Lenneth slices down man after man, getting blood on her like some battle valkyrie
<Sera> * Seth emptys arrow after arrow into men as well, sometimes denying Lenneth a kill, he seems to get better after each one though, the insane glint in his eye leaving slowly.
<Ametsune> 6Aschae walks up beside her, smiling. She doesn't act lest one get close, leaving it to Lenneth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes them all until they reach Daemon's room. The door opens however and Nephilim steps through with Jean; Neph's long hair is down and Jean has a cloth around her arm, looking worried. <Jean> Everyone is okay.
<Sera> Seth> "Daemon?"
<Sera> * Seth looks over Jean, looking for signs that she's been hurt.
<Sera> * Seth eyes the cloth. "What did he do to you?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Um, he took some blood then gave me a sweet, then went to see Nephilim!
<Sera> * Seth breathes slower. "You're okay then?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yep. Are you all okay?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth slows his breathing, eyeing into the empty room Nephilim exited; it seems to be a simple bedroom
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> She's fine." 6She mumbles, trying to braid up some of her hair quickly, when it's not all braided, knotted, twisted and such, it's longer than her height at this point and she makes faces at some of the ends trailing the dirty floor.
<Sera> * Kaelan looks her over. "She seems just fine... we should leave here. We're okay Jean." *she looks around at everyone* "Mercy is back at the farm right?"
<Ametsune> <Aschae> He's gone, my dear
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael grabs Neph in a hug . "Did he hurt you? Did he touch you? I'll kill him!~"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> He did, but I don't share the sympathies strangely. I feel like I know him from somewhere.
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim stares off for a moment, then smiles sheepishly. 1"Who was he, again?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> H-He raped you? 6* She gapes and looks horrorfied, then looks red with anger
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll find that miserible bastard.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Nope.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael seems to be lost in her own anger now, not listening
<Sera> * Kaelan sheaths Neph's sword and hands it over to her with the rest of her gear. "Your gold and the gem are in your bag dear. At last they didn't touch your stuff." *she sighs*
<Sera> * Seth puts a hand on Rachael's shoulder and squeezes it. "Calm down woman."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> That's 'cause I have it right here." 6She jiggles it, and the sword
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Seth, looking a bit crazy like he does.
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> He never did anything, Rachael. He wants me to desire it. I didn't.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> W-Why would a slaver want you to desire it...?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael mumbles
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> 'Cause he's either the most sadistic, or the worst slaver-- ever!
<Ametsune> 6Zeal murmurs about his old second in command.
<Sera> * Seth rubs her shoulder a bit. "That's it, deep breaths."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael mumbles, her ears twitching, and she kisses Nephilim on the lips possessively and lovingly
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Well, now. Shall we get out of here before I bury it?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes. Let us go
<Ametsune> 6Nephilim flails, then giggles.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods
<Sera> * Kaelan shakes her head a little. "Let's get back to Mercy..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael hugso nto Nephilim. "Well, he'll have to fight me next time. *sniff* I love you." 6* She mumbles
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I love you, too, cie narvan, but there won't be fighting over me.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> But---
<Ametsune> 6Aschae peers around the inside of the room Jean and Nephilim arrived from, smirking. 1"Elusive one, are we... We'll meet again. But only once."
<Ametsune> 6Aschae draws a finger along one of the walls, then shrugs, following the others.
<Sera> * Kaelan looks around, starting to move for what she thinks is an exit. "I believe the horses are this way, may as well as take some for our troubles."
<Ametsune> <Zeal> I hope lady Mercy is alright.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> She looked fine. I'm glad you are alright. If something happened to you, I'd...
<Sera> Kaelan> "She better be."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas just looks at her fondly
01<@DeathStar> 6* RAchael clings to Nephilim, looking all pouty. "But I'd beat him up and then we could ride off on his horse."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> Ah, my prince." 6She leans in, nibbling on Rachael's ear
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael pauses, then coos, looking all distracted.
01<@DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
01<@DeathStar> 6* The team, night time now, returns to the farm after destroying the slaver base and taking enough horses for them all. Mercy looks relieved to see them, hugging them, and Jean sheepishly admits she told them Kaelan would pay them 100 gold for the barn
<Sera> * Kaelan pays it out. "It's fine... they took personal risk in helping us."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Emma hugs onto Mercy's maid skirt peering at them all.
<Sera> * Kaelan hugs Mercy close, she pause a moment then kisses her cheek. "You alright?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Then she runs and hugs oto JEan who picks her up, sm iling and petting her. Rachael is quiet and looks thoughtful, peering at the glittering. "I'll sleep out her tonight; I don't think I'd like a barn."
<Ametsune> <Nephilim> I'll join you!
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes. I made a meal for everyone with the materials. We took the food out to the barn for you.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Ah, if a barn is good enough for our "animal-like" angel, it's good enough for a creature like myself.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael smiles and hugs Nephilim, resting her head againstg her. "I love you, le narvan." 6* She says softly.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> What's a barn like?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean skips in to see with Emma, and Thomas whispers to Zeal
01<@DeathStar> <ThomaS> What will we do with the child?
<Sera> * Seth follows Jean into the barn, looking about.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean leaps into some hay playfully
<Sera> * Seth smiles, chuckling.
<Sera> * Tata looks in on the barn. "No slavers hiding in here, I checked it myself!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean plays with Emma and the girl laughs, smiling for the first time and Mercyl eads them to a table with food.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Some cows look at them curiously
01<@DeathStar> *cowmoos
<Sera> * Kaelan follows Mercy closely, sitting by where she stops. She smiles.
<Sera> * Seth grins a bit and looks over barn, he lets out a sigh.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy gives Kaelan and Zeal the best portions
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean grabs Seth and pulls him in with her
<Sera> * Seth jerks and falls in, laughing, he grins at her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth moves to a stream, not letting the farmers see her, and washes off the blood, stripping naked
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean pokes up with hay in her hair. "I like barns! Can we sleep in more?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile adjusts her collar and leans on a wall, almost to Matias and freedom
<Sera> Seth> "If we find them, sure thing darlin."
<Sera> * Kaelan motions the farmers over, a business like look on her face.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The old man farmer walks over
01<@DeathStar> 6* Emma giggles and hugs onto Jean as she moves about the hay playfully
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas sits with Zeal, looking thoughtful
<Sera> Kaelan> "I want to ask... is it possible you might consider taking in the young girl? She needs a good home and this one may be appropriate."
01<@DeathStar> <Older Farmer> I'm getting in age, and we do not make good money as we used to... Tata's 12 and can work hard on the field. The young thing is only 4 at most.
<Sera> Kaelan> "How far does the gold piece stretch here?"
01<@DeathStar> <Older Farmer> We typically make only silver bits, ma'am, about 15 in a year if we are lucky.
<Ametsune> <Zeal> So the gold will carry much weight. That is wonderful.
<Sera> Kaelan> *she sets down the 100 gold pieces she was going to pay them* "I think I'll be more then happy to give you the amount Jean promised if you'd consider taking in the girl."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The two share looks, then at Emma, who plays with JEan happily, then they nod. "Very well, ma'am, we will take the girl."
<Sera> * Kaelan nods. "That should more then provide for her till she's old enough to help bring in the money." *she looks at Jean and the girl* "Assuming we can seperate her from our sister."
01<@DeathStar> 6* The girl plays and Jean squeaks and the girl giggles and makes her squeak again
01<@DeathStar> 6* The couple take the gold, and theo ther 100 if it's set down. "We are old, but we will make sure to do right by her, and leave whatever gold is left if we die to her and Tata."
<Sera> * Kaelan indeed does set down the extra amount. "See to it they both learn a good trade. If I'm back by this way in the future and no longer on the move... I may have work for them."
03* Eluere (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #Session85
01<@DeathStar> 6* The old people nod and move toward the girl to talk to her. She looks at them but hugs onto Jean tightly, looking like she wants to stay with her and Mercy, who she shoots looks
<Sera> * Kaelan peers over. "We can't take her..." *she says to Mercy* "It's too dangerous for a little girl."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes. I agree.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean looks confused, peering at the old couple, then at Kaelan, then at Emma
<Sera> * Kaelan gets up, moving over to them.
<Sera> * Seth sighs a bit, he reaches around and hugs Jean. "It's for the best darlin."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers down sadly but nods. Emma begins to cry but JEan touches her, whispering in her ear something and the girl stops crying, peering at the couple and moving over to them. The older woman kneels to take the girl into her arms and lift her up, and tells her Tata is her brother now
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Oh dear. What did she say?
<Sera> * Tata grins and salutes. "I'll protect little sis!"
<Sera> * Kaelan looks to the new parents, then to Jean, she leans over and kisses her cheek. "Sorry dear... I know you like the young one."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Emma nods and the four walk out together. Jean leans against Kaelan sadly. "I like little people...they're sweet."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth waits outside, naked, for her clothes to dry
<Sera> * Kaelan smiles. "Sounds like my little sister." *she looks at her*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy gets a piece of fruit out to hand to Kaelan so she can bribe JEan
<Sera> * Kaelan takes it, she gently holds it towards her. "Can I get a smile sweetheart?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles and kisses Kaelan on the lips, then hugs Seth, too since the's there, nuzzling his chest with her cheek, then takes the fruit, nibbling it
<Sera> * Seth hugs her close and smiles, watching her eat, he nods to Kaelan.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean leans against Seth and eats her fruit
02* Ametsune (notany@unlisted.anvilcom.com) Quit (Quit: Neverending rains, a poetic respite from a summer of life's dry humor..)
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean had strange dream other night. 6* She notes
<Sera> * Seth blinks a little. "D-Did you?"
<Sera> * Kaelan blinks, looking between them.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She nods and eats her fruit happily now
<Sera> Seth> "Dare I ask what about?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean just blushes and looks mysterious about it, sharing the fruit with Kaelan since it makes it taste better
<Sera> * Kaelan leans over and shares it, she licks some juice off Kaelan's cheek. Seth stares a little.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean giggles and puts some on Kaelan's nose and licks it, then some on Seth's nose and goe to lick it
<Sera> * Seth blushes, letting her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles at Seth and giggles at his blushing, looking in a good mood since no one was hurt
<Sera> * Seth looks into her eyes. "I..."
<Sera> * Kaelan peers up.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, leaning forward. "Yes?"
<Sera> Seth> "I love you Jean."
<Sera> * Kaelan blinks, looking surprised that he finally admitted it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles at him, blushing a bit. " I love you, too, Seth." 6 *She says chirpily
<Sera> * Seth smiles and gently kisses her lips.
<Sera> * Kaelan blinks. "Finally..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks as she's kissed, keeping the blush and looking surprised and somewhat like she's familiar with it, her hands shifting behind her so she doesn't fall backwards. Rachael peers over, blinking, and frowning as if not sure how to respond since it's Seth
<Sera> * Seth pulls away, a blush on his cheeks. Kaelan giggles a bit and gets up. "As loing as you two take it slow. And if you hurt my sister's feelings, I'll beat you up Seth."
<Sera> * Seth puts his hands up innocently.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean looks out of breath, touching her lips
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Um, Jean feels funny in stomach
<Sera> Kaelan> "Like there's little birds flying?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Um, think so!
<Sera> * Kaelan giggles. "Sometimes we call that butterflies... it happens when you feel really good or excited."
<Sera> * Seth looks away with a sheepish grin.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Oh. Seth, kiss Kaelan. I want to see if she feels butterflies!!
<Sera> Kaelan> "W-Wait I---" *Seth grabs her up and kisses her, she eeps and falls back panting.
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan leans forward. "Did you?"
<Sera> * Kaelan shakes her head, blushing though.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> I think Kaelan did. 6* She straddles her and leans in close, then kisses her like Seth did to her a moment ago, mimicing his grabbing perfectly too
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy watches, making sure Kaelan's food doesn't get cold
<Sera> * Kaelan squeaks and leans into it a little, blushing and panting as she parts the kiss. That time she did. "I-I..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean grins. "Kaelan did!" 6* She grabs a piece of fruit to eat happily, her cheeks still rosey. Kaelan and Seth can both feel her emotions faintly, a delighted joy
<Sera> * Kaelan blushes and gets up, she nibbles some of the fruit out of Jean's hand and smiles at her, then moves back to Mercy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean grins and watches the two knowingly
<Sera> * Seth looks over, frowning. "Kaelan been a little... clinging to the maid lately?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan is in loooooove. 6* She whispers
<Sera> * Seth blinks a bit, looking over. "You mean... them?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods innocently.
<Sera> Seth> "Interesting."
<Sera> * Kaelan starts to eat.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean can feel their pleasure and love when they mate. 6* She says with a smile toward them. "Sometimes can even feel when asleep like a pleasant warm dream."
<Sera> * Seth blinks a bit. "They're... when? Surely we'd have noticed..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean just smiles, and Mercy hands Kaelan her soup
<Sera> * Kaelan looks up at her and smiles, she yanks Mercy to sit with her, starting to feed her the soup.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy blushes and eats the soup embarrassedly; a huge change is that she's showing her emotions on her face
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> See?
<Sera> * Seth grins a bit. "So that's what it took to bring her out of her shell huh?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean could tell Mercy felt different; Zeal said the angel did something to her to make her feel better inside. Jean can kinda feel -- she took her bad memories and feelings of it away. Like they are there, but they do not hurt so much. Jean not sure how did it, but tried with little girl so she'd go with the nice people. Think it worked."
<Sera> Seth> "Yeah but she was still always so closed off, now look at her."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Kaelan loves her. Love is nice, right?
<Sera> * Seth nods. "Very nice. Can even start to make a guy like me feel alive again."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean grins

<Eluere> <Aschae> Do you like me, pretty Lenneth?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Sensually?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes. 6* She leans in to kiss her ear, as if reminding her of something
<Eluere> <Aschae> So a goddess loves me. Huhuhu.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth smiles and wraps her arms around Aschae and pulls her in closer
<Eluere> <Aschae> How ironic, indeed.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Perhaps. But is not irony high in tales?
03* Ametsune (notany@cpe-72-177-76-246.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw-medieval
<Eluere> <Aschae> How doth thou love me?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well. Perhaps enough to anger my father. We shall see. 6* She smiles mysteriously, almost impishly
<Eluere> <Aschae> How far doth thy love go?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth looks up at the glittering, barely visible in the rain, then at her
<Eluere> <Aschae> Love is grand, love is foolish. People are brave, people are folly. Cast thine eyes across the neverending world full of passion and see how much it doth rot. Decayed flesh and fruit cast asunder bringeth ripened foliage greener than green and yet destined to wither away.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hm, an interesting phrase. 6* She seems to commit it to memory
<Eluere> <Aschae> It's a comment to the order of life. Because it dies, it's beautiful. Because it's beautiful it dies. Such is the way it is, the way it was the way it always will be.
01<@DeathStar> <Lennetht> Yes, perhaps. But one can enjoy the beauty while it lasts.
<Eluere> <Aschae> To covet a single treasure, to grow fond of a single person, is it not the greatest foolishness; but because it will be forgotten isn't it all the more lovely, yet all the more useless. The contradiction of finite infinity. To strive for the everlasting is the evermore worst.
<Eluere> <Aschae> It's how I know even gods don't last forever.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth considers.
<Eluere> <Aschae> The gods themselves are the cowards, I believe. Without them this world, Tareh, indeed it might perish. But is it not arrogant that life should perish with them? What gave them life? And from whence do they sew life henceforth? I'll probably lose my life in my endeavor, but I know my life will not fade away in vain. Life renews with or without us, it will prevail in some way or
<Eluere> another. Not always how we perceive it, but in some way just as beautiful-- because it dies... Evermore will it live.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth listens. "You have thought much on this."
<Eluere> <Aschae> I should hope so-- I had plenty of time. Huhuhu.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth nods and puts her head against Aschae's chest
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Which still leaves you, fair goddess. Is it the inevitable loss making the currant so very sweet, a rare year, or are you truly hopeless?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Only time will tell, Aschae. Though if Tareh would do better without a goddess, I would gladly accept that
<Ametsune> <Aschae> No one would know, I dare say, as Taren's give faith to twelve.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I imagine you all will find the truth
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Now that's true irony, when the goddess has faith in the heathens rather than the believers in her.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I have always had faith in the people of Tareh
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Perhaps this is why you are the goddess of champions.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth nods once. "Perhaps"
<Ametsune> <Azhren> ...Maybe ironworker." 6He eyes Faile, deadpanned and looking serious.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile nods once.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She tosses the knife up and down near Seth's foot
<Ametsune> <Azhren> Improve building. Tempered steel.
<@Sera> * Seth peers at her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile peers at Seth, then back. "Possible."
<Ametsune> 6Azhren hangs his head, defeated by Faile's skeptical indifference
<Ametsune> <Azhren> F-Farmer..?
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Ironworker. You would do good. I'll help. 6* She says, letting the knife go
<Ametsune> 6Azhren pauses, glancing up at her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile nods seriously
<Ametsune> <Azhren> I would... like that.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Me... too
<@Sera> * Seth slides his foot out of the way and sits back a bit.
Session Time: Sat Sep 25 00:00:00 2010

03* Xanatos (phirax7@c-76-122-228-26.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #taw-medieval
03* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
01<@DeathStar> 6* The team is at a nice farm, having beaten the slavers. Rachael sees Valen return and leaps on him in relief
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses. 1Did I miss something?
<Eluere> <Aschae> The slaver's imminent demise. I'm a mystic genius.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> They told me you ran off to beat up the slavers to save me; we were worried about you
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael straddles him and hugs him protectively. JEan is playing in hay, while Faile and Azhren are talking ironworker talk. Lenneth is nowhere in sight
<@Sera> * Kaelan is sitting with Mercy, eating a meal. "Mmm... maybe when we get to Matias I'll get access to a decent forge for a bit."
<@Sera> * Seth is in the hay with Jean.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy eats quietly and shyly next to Kaelan; Valen would notice Mercy is looking more -- emotion showing
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen leans his head up slightly and peers around then nods to Rachael. 1Sorry about that.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> It's okay. You were worried about Neph and me. 6* She gets off of him and helps him up. "None of us were hurt. It was Daemon again; a slaver that took us before. He wanted Jean's blood."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Did you stop him this time?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> No, he got away. After trying to seduce Nephilim.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "That's if it's quiet for us long enough to craft anything... I'd love to melt down some of these swords we collected from the slavers and make some weapons that'll protect people for once." *she grins at Mercy and eats some more*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael huffs jealously. "You shouldn't let him get your girl."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean plays with a tiny baby pigoink she found
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I am sure you will make great weapons
<@Sera> * Seth grins, "Cute little thing."
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Mmm... wonder if I should make you something."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> If I could find him, I would put an end to it.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> We will. 6* She says with conviction.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods and Soma eyes the pigoink hungerily
<@Sera> Seth> "...The pigoink too of course." *he chuckles, reaching out to pet it a little*
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen pats himself off and shakes his head slightly. 1Did anyone get hurt?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, not getting the flirt line
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> No, not even Jean; he took her blood then gave her a cookie
<@Sera> * Seth smiles, "I was calling you cute."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael whispers. "Seth finally told Jean he loves her and kissed her. I wonder if the angel will do to him what she did to Kaelan."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Me something? I am not worthy of anything. I can't even sheathe a sword....
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks, then giggles. "Seth is cute, too!"
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns slightly. 1I can't say I would blame her if she did something terrible.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Worthy, being naturally nonviolent doesn't make you unworthy. And I promised to teach you the cudgel. I'll make a fine, long lasting one for you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods and smiles. Jean moves over to Valen with the pigoink. "Valen's back! I worry since I can't find you like others." 6* She says with a pout
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen smirks. 1I much prefer being a ghost of sorts.
<@Sera> * Seth moves over with her, he nods to Valen.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> What's a ghost?!
<@Xanatos> <Valen> When we were young we were often told stories of beings that were almost invisible in sight that wandered the land.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Ooooooh. So Valen is a ghost! Jean understand. Jean still not sure if mark is good idea. 6* She peers at the one on Rachael, visible since she only wears a top and a loin cloth
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I'm afraid I wouldn't accept it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods as if entirely understanding and looks relieved
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't know why you worry so much about the mark; the way Aschae talks about it, she's more likely to use you through it than you use her. I've never once felt you use any of us with it.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Using is wrong. Jean just want to help if cna
01<@DeathStar> 6* She pets the pigoink. "Jean more scared of otherself and what she will do."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> And she would do whatever it took to complete her mission I am sure. Whatever that may be.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods worriedly in agreement. "Jean can remove mark...." 6* She begins but Rachael just shakes her head
<@Sera> * Seth sets his lips as though thinking about something, he then shrugs.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> At least you are nice enough to offer Jean. 6He peers at Rachael's insistence to keep it, but says nothing else about it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean just nods and moves to sit with the pigoink, petting it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances at Valen, smiling at him a bit, as if saying 'if you want to ask we can step outside
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen nods and steps aside so they can go elsewhere for privacy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows after Valen, and she peers up at the glittering in the sky, enjoying the cool breeze
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen waits till they are a bit of a distance away before glancing to her. 1So would you like to elaborate a little more. 6He nods towards the mark.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at it. "It's hard to explain, but the mark is useful like Aschae said. I can feel what Jean is thinking sometimes, and sometimes, just sometimes, I can tell what others on the group are thinking or feeling, so it's a way to keep tabs." 6* She says quietly. "I also felt Aschae drain Jean with the mark to power her magic before, and when the angel is in control (cont)
<@Sera> * Seth sits by her and puts an arm about her. "You alright darlin?"
01<@DeathStar> though she blocks herself more than Jean does, since Jean is open, I can .... sometimes get a feel of what's on her mind or her emotions. We don't know a lot about the angel, so it's a good way to feel what she wants or doesn't want. Like when Dahok died, I felt the angel's pain, since she shouldn't shield it; it was sharp and raw and she was miserible about it.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> And felt guilty. I think she tries to drive us away so we won't get hurt. Kaelan's father dying, and Kaelan telling Jean others will likely follow that route, probably affected the angel, too
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Yes. Jean just wish she knew about other self. 6* She sighs
<@Xanatos> <Valen> It would be terribly difficult for me to trust myself to that.
<@Sera> Seth> "Mmm." *he chuckles and goes over to the packs, pulling out a piece of parchment, moving back to her, he sits and holds it out* "She slipped this into her pack before we left Lenil."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I know. But I guess...we're following Jean when the world of Tareh is at risk. We're here against everything we were taught. If we can't trust Jean to link with us, then why follow her? Most people wouldn't have let you back on the team either, and JEan didn't bat an eye - and the angel didn't even reject you, surprisingly.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Myself mostly. 6He repeats. 1I betrayed the team.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You did what you thought was right, Vale. It hurt at the time, but I understood it, too. I trust you. 6* She takes his hands. "Jean believes in you and I do, too. She's been happy since you've returned. I think she always looked up to you like an older brother."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean peers at it
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean read that.
<@Sera> Seth> "Oh... did it say anything?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Just that she had no answers for me and if she wanted to leave a message, she would do so.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean sulks.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I'll try to live up to that. But I think it will take time. Also I need to get to know the angel more.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth walks past Valen and RAchael, dripping wet from washing the blood off, her clothes mostly cleaned up from the blood
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I understand. We know now that Jean can relinquish control if she tries, so we can always ask questions if we need to.
<@Sera> * Seth rubs his chin. "Well to tell the truth, she doesn't seem to know much herself. She doesn't know why she's here or why she's being tugged to the crystals either."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Really? 6* She looks surprised
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen nods before glancing to Lenneth as she walks by. 1Lenneth.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at Valen and nods back; the collar is on her still, thogh by the way Rachael studies her, she doesn't look sure if it's working or not. <Lenneth> Hello, Sir Valen
<@Sera> Seth> "She's mentioned before that she's not sure why, she knows a lot though... about the ancient days."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Hmmm, Jean sorry she not nicer.
<@Sera> * Seth smiles, "Her attitude is completely understandable, but she's a lot nicer then she seems at first glance."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I understand you were training with Mr. Rynar. If you ever desire pointers from me, I would be happy to oblige.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth looks a bit sad at the mention of him, but nods. "I would like that. I am still a babe when it comes to learning things. I wish to learn everything I can about combat, so I can never be at a disadvantage, and help the team."
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen nods his head once. 1You can come to me anytime.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth bows her head. "Thank you." 6* She moves off inside the barn and Rachael whispers. "You should have seen her at the slavers. the moment she heard of slavers taking people, she just went cold in the eyes, and slaughtered every one of them she came across - well, the ones Seth didn't beat her too."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> The team doesn't have any qualms about murdering people. Even bad ones.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. But I've never seen her like that. IT reminded me of the goddess.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I read Lenneth helped free the elves and halflings from human slavery. I think that collar doesn't supress her anymore.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> If it doesn't, then what? My suggestion that she should have been slain to begin with recieved gasps of annoyance.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't know. She's helping us, if she is freed, and not calling down the gods. It would be simple to take JEan while we sleep and call Amazo down to slain us. Maybe she's... changed. Or maybe I'm paranoid. Maybe you'll get her to talk more when you train together
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I will do all I can without revealing the truth. But it is certainly a good idea to be wary.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael nods and hugs h im. "I'm glad you're back. Things feel better with you here."
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles. 1I bring the life to the party. 6He says in obvious joking sarcasm.
<@Sera> * Kaelan stretches a bit. "That, Mercy, was delicious, as usual."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael takes hi shand, moving back to the barn. "You do."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy bows her head. "I'm glad you like it."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I believe that might be sad what with how terribly boring I am. 6He smirks.
<@Sera> * Kaelan looks up at the two coming back in, she motions at Rachael and Valen with a "come here" move.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks, moving over to Kaelan
<@Sera> * Kaelan smiles a bit, she looks over the two almot appraisingly. "I'm making plans for when we get to town... we only ever seem to have so long before we have to run away, so I'm putting together a sort of shopping list."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> List?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What kind of list?
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Well, I've got the 400 coins we got from the slavers to give out to everyone, but I'd like to know about any interest in armor or weapons, I'm plotting and hoping to secure a forge while we're there and make us some stuff worthy of the troubles we have to go through."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh. Well. I'm fine, really. I prefer what I wear and what I use works for me
<@Sera> * Kaelan looks at Valen.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Lightweight armor that is sturdy would be best for everyone. But I would leave it up to you to figure out how to divvy that out.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, maybe if I could get armor that's like my clothes. Like your bikini armor
<@Sera> * Kaelan blushes a bit. "I-I think I could replicate it, or something like it if you want."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Alright. I just prefer loose clothing. Though I don't care for topless like I used to; I guess Zeal's taught this 'heathen' some things
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I would suggest you focus on getting enough supplies for the boat ride, as well as the actual price for the trip across the sea.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes, this is a long voyage and we won't have a stone to use this time
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I hope I can keep from getting sick again.
<@Sera> * Kaelan giggles. "Foodstuffs won't be much of an issue, I'll make sure we get plenty of that packed onto the boat. Though I'm more apt then ever to get us new weapons.. and that's because we're travelling by boat."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael pats him. "I'll take care of you."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, there's a lot of us, so that's a lot of food. The trip will likely cost a lot. I know it took Valen and I all we had money wise."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> And I still had to do chores on the boat for the trip over.
<@Sera> * Kaelan smiles. "Yeah, though the gem I mentioned might go for somewhere around a thousand coins."
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Gold coins, I mean."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> If you can get Neph to give it to you
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> She likes her shiny things
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Be sure to secure the boat and food first. And then after that divvy out equipment as you see fit. I would take anything you feel I should have.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hey, maybe Valen can seduce Nephilim and get her gem. 6* She giggles
<@Sera> Kaelan> "We might have to talk her into it. And yes Valen, don't worry about that priority."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I'm not very good at seduction.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nonsense. The girls swoon for you
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> They would always tell me how sexy you were when we girls bathed
<@Sera> Kaelan> "You are a very attractive man, Valen."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes, you are quite pleasing. 6* She notes while eating at the table KAelan is at.
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks at all of that and seems to get red, clearing his throat slightly.
<@Sera> * Kaelan giggles a bit.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy smiles at him and Jean giggles with her pig. <Jean> Jean had dreams about Valen sometimes! 6* She chirps, but says nothing more, palying with her pig. Soma keeps eyeing it hungerily
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Can we keep Mr. Pigoink?
<@Sera> Seth> "We could talk to the Farmers about it. Kaelan did just give them 200 gold."
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks. 1Dreams about...me?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> If they only make 15 silver a year, I think they could retire from farming altogether and become a noble
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods a few times, then beams at Seth at the idea, holding up the pig and cooing at it. It oinks
<@Sera> * Kaelan looks down. "...I wanted that little girl to have a good life after what she went through."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm not disagreeing. 6* She smiles at Kaelan
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I was just saying they'd give up a pig for sure
<@Sera> * Kaelan blushes, "O-Oh right."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Plus if we ever get hungry... 6* She teases, but not where Jean could hear
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Soma looks like he already is.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma mewls and circles the pig
<@Sera> Seth> "Soma. My lap, now."
<@Sera> * Seth pats it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma moves over and sits sadly, looking at Valen as if saaying 'you'll help me get my bacon, right?'
<@Sera> * Seth slips a piece of meat under Soma's nose.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma sniffs and chews on it
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen clears his throat slightly once again and shifts over to finally take a seat and relax, having been traveling a bit.
<@Sera> * Kaelan starts pulling out the various strips of cloth and tools she keeps, setting them down.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits with him and Lenneth closes her eyes, quickly falling asleep
<Eluere> 6Aschae leans over Lenneth, smiling subtley.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth doesn't seem to notice
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I fear I'm getting old. All this traveling makes me sleepy.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You're not that much older than me, and your aging slowed down like mine has
<@Sera> * Kaelan looks over the two. "How old are you two...?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Though I wonder how old Nephilim is --- I remember seeing her when I was young and we first got to the village and she looked only a little younger than she does now...and when I was 12 she looked almost exactly like now
<Eluere> <Aschae> Not as old as you might think.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh? I'm about as old as I look; my age has only just started slowing
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I prefer to keep my age a mystery.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael makes a hmph sound at that. "You were barely big enough to hold me when I was a baby, you said."
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Mmm, so you two will still look young when we're all old and doddering."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, I---really don't know how fast halflings age, to be truthful. I just noticed when I was going through puberty, I would start developing slower than the human girls in the village. Thankfully they never cared we were halflings.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I'm pretty certain we certainly will age faster than Nephilim, but slower than humans. I'm just not sure of the actual numbers.
<Eluere> <Aschae> It's said halflings don't live long enough to find out-- one way or another.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers down at that, going quiet
01<@DeathStar> 6* Her biggest fear, Valen would know, is going insane and hurting the village they grew up in.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I'm certain that with Jean's helpt hat we will find out.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Well... this might just be a smith's logic, but if you take a lasting metal, mix it with a short lasting metal, you get a metal that lasts longer then the short lasting, but only about half as higher a quality of the longer lasting metal. If that makes any sense."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean smiles, and moves over to Rachael, peering her over as if studying her, the ncloses her eyes to focus on the mark.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She hmmms, then does the same thing to Seth, then to Nephilim.
<@Sera> * Seth offers no protest, feeding Soma another piece of meat.
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen watches Jean.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> What're you doin' Jeanie?
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Mmmm, Jean just feeling out lifeforce and comparing it to each other.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean finishes and smiles. "Seth degrades 4 times faster than Nephilim. But he only degrades 2.5 times as fast as Rachael. But--- 6* She hesitates.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "But what sis?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean thinks Nephilim and Rachael's special, inner abilities are tied to life force. Not Nephilim's singing magic, but... something else. Jean think it would age them faster if they learned it and used i." <Rachael> You mean what the elves did when they healed us... .... they looked like it pained them slightly... 6* She refers back to the Valen 'death' arc.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Like her Light ability?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Mmm, yes. But different.
01<@DeathStar> <JEan> But both could be bad if used a lot.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Does using the magic you grant us affect us? <Jean> Nope! Jean channels all that!
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Rachael has a talent..?
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Interesting..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods. "Weaker than Nephilim, but there."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Rachael can't do stones though!
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> The mark helps Jean channel magic better so it takes less strain, too. 6* She considers that, pondering why
<@Sera> Kaelan> "I think... maybe it's because you're already connected to us?"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You said it wasn't the stones, though-- what is the light..? What is my light?
<@Sera> Kaelan> "It takes more work to light a cold forge then one with glowing embers in it."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean doesn't know, sorry. 6* She peers at Lenneth, perhaps curious if she has the ability, too, then abck at Nephilim
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen muses on that quietly as he peers between Rachael and Nephilim.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> But Jean think that once Nephilim learn, it could create! .... not sure what though. <Rachael >Well, the elves healed us. Maybe the light is healing magic. And that's why it drains us.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I wonder how one learns it....I guess we'd need to visit the elves to know
<@Sera> Kaelan> "I like that.. the 'Light' that heals. Has a ring to it."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You mean transfers essence of life-- hence our loss and their gain.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> It's very curious.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim tchs, hrmphing and crossing her arms. 1"Visit the elves to learn? Psh, yeah.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Jean will .... try to help unlock it...if want...but Jean not want Rachael or Nephilim or Valen to decrease life."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean's eyes water. "That would make me sad."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, if I could help heal someone dying, I'd rather know how just in case.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I have to guess when we sap you for energy to do our magic when we're tapped isn't good for you, either, Jean, but you do it. 6* Jean sulks
<@Sera> Seth> "Girl's got a point darlin."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I just want to know. It might not even be all that useful.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Seems we're all in agreement on that.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Can't tease a girl and not follow through, Jeanie!
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Will take time. Will use mark to study and see if I can understand more. Other me might be better, but it takes JEan time. sorry.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I could persuade her-- huhuhu. Don't I have a light as well? Or am I just a 'fallen' shadow. Huhuhu..
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Aschae does! Just not sure if Aschae wanted everyone to know.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Racheal glances at Aschae.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> So Aschae is an elf? Or a halfing?
<Eluere> <Aschae> Don't be silly.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Silly?
<Eluere> 6Aschae looks amused, shaking her head. 1"Everyone's seen my ears before. It's not surprising given that it seems closely bonded with magic and the soul."
<Eluere> <Aschae> I know most of both above all of you.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Thought that was something only Elves could do..."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Even Jean here can feel it-- and the Angel can manipulate it. Neither are elves.
<Eluere> 6Aschae grins playfully. 1"If I were an elf I wouldn't need the gods or the angel's help to use my magic."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean is quiet, playing with her pig
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Jean can use Light devices?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> I'm not certain." 6She shrugs.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Certainly act like an elf." 6She hrmphs. 1"Seedy and weird."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael >We could tackle her and look at her ears again. 6* She jokes.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I bet you're half-elf. Since you're nuts." 6She twirls her finger near her head, sticking her tongue out.
<@Sera> * Seth just quietly hugs Jean arond the waist and pays more attention to Soma.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Coming from you, huhuhu.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ... What's that supposed to mean!?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at the hug, blushing a bit
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael shifts to see where Seth's hand is at during the hug
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Some half elves have human-like ears, don't they?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael goes quiet again at the nuts comment
<@Sera> * Seth's hand is just idly on Jean, in a more or less "safe" place.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> In prison, one elf got their ears cut off. 6* She notes simply
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Soniere always sounded like a horrid place.
<Eluere> <Aschae> That's true enough, I suppose. But I'd still be able to use magic without a link.
<@Sera> * Kaelan shudders. "Let's not talk about that place."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Agreed." 6She smiles.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile runs her finger along her prison collar quietly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's hands move to her hidden ears almost protectively, her hair restyle with braids, flowers, and vines
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Apologies. I didn't mean to drudge up unpleasant memories.
<@Sera> * Kaelan nods, looking down at her tools. "That's... that's fine."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess I was lucky I didn't get sent there.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "That's at least something we have to thank Valen for."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Oh?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans against Valen. "Yeah, they put me in the mansion with you instead of going to the prison."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nephilim escaped altogether and would sneak in at night; Zeal was taken by the church to teach Jean. Carly I guess got away, too
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I didn't realize my action split you all up as much as it had.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> It was a prophecy; what was meant to be was in that regard
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> But we met new friends, too! Like Aschae and Faile
<Eluere> <Aschae> Thankfully. I didn't much care for Sonniere's hospitality." 6She stretches, showing off ehr chest.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas is too good to look. Jean peers, then looks at her own chest, stretching like her, but wearing clothes like Rachael
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen stretches and shows off his chest since all the cool kids are doing it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael snerks at Valen. "Nephilim, I think Valen is trying to woo you."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I could make them bounce. I've heard that woos women.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hehe. Dork.
<@Sera> * Kaelan giggles a bit.
<@Sera> * Seth shakes his head, having kept his head down when Aschae stretched.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean looks at Valen curiously. "Do you kiss girls and give them butterflies?"
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I'm afraid not.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Buu. Worthless.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Nephilim won't let me. She keeps running away like a chikcluck.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Er..! Don't put this back on me!
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I only speak thruths.
<@Xanatos> NRP: truths*
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Nephilim, you should kiss Valen! 6* She takes her and leads her to Valen all serious like
<@Sera> Seth> "Leader's orders."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean nods
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You heard her; you'd hate to be given dishes duty.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I-- I--..
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Butterflies feel funny. Nephilim should try with Valen!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael snickers
<Eluere> <Nephilim> G-Geez, all of you...
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Does Nephilim not know how to kiss? Jean can show!
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I know how!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm not sure. You look pretty unsure to me right now
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Perhaps she's frightened of the audiance.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> And here I thought she was a temptress who feared no crowd and made them all sway to her tune
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael grins
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Wait... wait..."
<@Sera> * Kaelan stares, "Nephilim? Shy?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> It seems so!
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Clearly she is an imposter."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> But she is real Nephilim
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ... Raaaah!" 6She grabs Valen, leaning up since she's short to kiss him brazenly
<@Sera> Kaelan> *giggles*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans in to watch and JEan does, too
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks but would certainly kiss her if she actually went through with it.
<@Sera> * Kaelan observes her going through with it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles, watching them still kissing, then kinda of pauses and eyes them still kissing
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen breaks off the kiss after a bit and clears his throat slightly again, looking embarassed. 1I...believe...she's no chickcluck.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim nods. Then turns-- squeals and runs off hurriedly at her quickest pace.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean follows. "Did you feel butterflies?" 6* They both exit the barn and Rachael peers at Valen
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Was it nice?
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I think she used her tongue a little. 6He squints.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hehe. He lips are soft. I kissed her once when she was trying to act like the older sister on me and she got all embarrased. But I didn't make her run off like you, narven. You must have the touch
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael snerks
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I...I'm sure it was just because everyone was staring.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Hm.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth snoozes quietly, her hair slightly parted, almost showing her ears
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Mmm... so you two are really an item, Valen?"
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I guess so. I'm not sure. She's hard to read sometimes, considering she has set me on fire twice already.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "She doesn't get shy and run away after kissing anyone else."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> She's shy, very shy. She'd let me take advantage of her. So go slow with her
01<@DeathStar> 6* RAchael notes
<Eluere> 6Valen's clothing puffs into flame again.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "...She is?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes it. "NEEEEEPHILIM!"
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks and pats himself out. 1I need to learn water magic.
03* Ametsune (notany@72.177.76.246) has joined #taw-medieval
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> That elf. 6* She sighs
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Would you like me to teach you? Water is my favorite element, huhu.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I'm afraid I barely have a grasp on Wind.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas runs his hand along Zeal's shoulders, massaging her
<Eluere> 6Aschae saunters over to Valen, putting her arms around him and setting her chin on his shoulder, smirking. 1"Oh, I'm sure you'll grasp it-- with time."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael blinks and squirms, grabbing Valen protectively.
<@Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks at that, peering between Aschae and Rachael.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Ah, what's wrong halfling?" 6She chuckles
<@Xanatos> <Valen> I do hope you don't mean that in a demeaning way.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Whatever is demeaning about the elements? Blasphemy, boy.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You can't have sex with him without my permission. J-Just in case that's what you meant. I'm not good at innuedo
<Eluere> <Aschae> Oh my, sweetie.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> It's find Rachael. I can control myself.
<@Xanatos> NRP: fine*
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well...I--- 6* She huffs, mumbling. "But it's always been the two of us." 6* She says, referring to how close they've been without secrets
<Ametsune> <Aschae> I wouldn't mind a little one on one with you, too, sweetie.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael jerks, blushing
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> W-What?!
<Ametsune> <Aschae> My, is magic that surprising to you? I have seen you use wind yourself.
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Are you speaking of magic or sex? You're being quite vague.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I--well, m-magic yes, I can use magic
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Does it matter what I'm speaking of-- you seem to be making assumptions on your own." 6She huffs, then walks off, shrugging, her staff jingling. 1"Children!"
<@Xanatos> <Valen> ...I'm confused.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ME too.
<Ametsune> <Aschae> Hu hu hu.
Session Time: Sun Sep 26 00:00:00 2010
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Valen. "She has a way of making me feel like I know nothing."
<@Xanatos> <Valen> Perhaps she's simply vague in her words because she also knows next to nothing?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Hmmm
<Ametsune> <Zeal> ...I am not sure about that. She is constantly explaining about artifacts, church decorum, philosophy and historic items only Thomas knows about..
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> She is very smart; though even she could give some priests I know a run for their gold
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> With her phrasing
<@Sera> Seth> "Possibility is she just doesn't want us to know too much about her."
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Possibly, but to be fair we ask little of Faile, yet we are not so hard on here only because she speaks rarely.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile peers at Zeal
<Ametsune> <Zeal> I-- It was to mean no offence, my lady Faile. It is true, is it not?
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Hm
03* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
<@Sera> Seth> "When you rarely speak, you make plain you don't want to be known. When all you do is speak and say nothing of consequence, it makes people wonder."
<Ametsune> <Zeal> So which is better camoflauge?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I like friendly talking, like this!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael grins
<@Sera> Seth> "Aschae's. In a noisey group, the quiet one stands out more."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile eyes Seth and does a slit motion with her knife along her neck
<Ametsune> <Zeal> ...
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Maybe th-that means she likes you..
<@Sera> Seth> "It's sort of like hiding in the dark. You can wear black if you like, but the reality is, night time isn't pitch black, so you stand out more then if you wore grays or browns." *he taps his dark green tunic*
<@Sera> Seth> "I read that as 'keep calling attention to me and I will slit your throat you ruddy bastard', accurate Faile?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile nods once
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Amazing-- from one gesture. You know each other really well.
<Ametsune> 6Azhren frowns, eyeing Seth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael swallows, peering at Azhren. "Well, she never makes slit throats at you; you must be a special person."
<Ametsune> 6Azhren considers quietly.
<@Sera> Seth> "Faile's a rather interesting lady, she's capable of saying a lot with only the slightest actions."
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Yes. We will be staying in Matias once we arrive.
<Ametsune> 6Azhren nods slowly.
<Ametsune> <Zeal> Oh... you won't be joining us further..?
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Your fight is not our fight.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Your rescue of me has my thanks. But I do not wish to fight gods.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh.... 6* She sighs. "I understand I guess."
<Ametsune> <Zeal> When put that way..
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks at Azhren, a bit sadly, but gives him a smile, too, as if saying 'I hope you're happy with her'
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> I never had a problem with the church; my life was on the grasslands, and then in prison.
<Ametsune> 6Azhren hesitates, then nods and smiles fondly at Mercy, nostalgic
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy gets up and moves over, putting a bag of sweets he likes into his hand, having known his tastes for a long time. She leans in and whispers. "I am happy, too. I thank you for everything, Azhren. You set me free from a prison I did not know I was in."
<Ametsune> 6Azhren looks surprised, peering at Mercy, then his hand, then her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy gives him a smile; it would be rare for Azhren to see Mercy show any emotion that wasn't acted. The Angel's mark apparantly chipped her wall, and then the group slowly broke it down. She moves back to sit at the table
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile looks at the two, but doesn't look jealous, probably having known about Azhren's quest to save Mercy; it may even be one reason she likes him
<Ametsune> 6Azhren takes one of the cookies and looks away as he chews on one, looking happy for a moment.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Azhren is a good man. He will do good in Matias. I will aid him
<Ametsune> <Azhren> Not just me."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile blinks at him
<Ametsune> <Azhren> Not alone. Won't only do good.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> He's saying you'll be helping him do that good, I think
<Ametsune> <Azhren> Yes.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> I-- 6* She looks slightly embarrassed, but nods. "I will help him, yes." 6* She eyes her collar, probably knowing she'll have to remove it once they get to Matias
01<@DeathStar> 6* She runs her hand along it
<@Sera> * Kaelan smiles and hugs Mercy close. "That was sweet of you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy blinks. "I meant it. Azhren sacrificed a lot for me to find this happiness. I will never forget him. He will always be my friend."
<@Sera> * Kaelan giggles and kisses her cheek. "I'm proud of you."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I-- 6* She looks embarrassed.
<@Sera> Kaelan> "Don't be shy... it's the very fact you weren't that I'm proud."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods, and begins to talk about how as the PRince's Knight, Azhren was always kind to her and looked out for her. One night when she cried after a rough coupling with a guest, he was there for her. Soon after that she stopped crying, just locking her thoughts away and seeing it as a duty like dusting
<@Sera> * Kaelan pulls her close. "Not gonna let that happen again."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods and smiles softly
