[pnpgm] Game Update #17

"I only want to get a message out that way, but it might be better if I delivered it myself.  I wasn't planning on staying in Ba'ru," while having a message delivered, it might ease Kaz's worry if she were to go in person so he could see that she was alright.  "No one told me why he did it, but I did hear whispers among the elders that he thought taking my eyes would make his visions more powerful.  I see things no one else can, and he was probably envious of that," she tilted her head as she looked straight at him, appearing to stare straight into his eyes. "Maybe you could try, but... in all honesty, at this point, I don't know if I want it fixed.  As strange as it might sound, losing my sight has made me see other things better."

    "If your wish is to return to Ba'ru that
 can be accomplished with ease," Arawn said, the sound
 of an offer in his voice.

    "I am curious though why the shaman wanted to take
 your eyes," he then said, annoyance mingling with his
 concern, the former directed at the other shaman. "But
 that might be more than you're comfortable sharing at
 the moment.

    But assuming a powerful curse hasn't been placed
 around them I may be able to regenerate your eyes. I am a
 druid, among other things."

 [ Earlier
 during bath time ]

 Ix didn't have an issue sharing the bath house with the
 dwarves, bathing with the opposite sex wasn't taboo due
 to her upbringing, as baths weren't sexualized. 
 Besides, she couldn't see them naked, and they'd
 already seen her.  She would have no issue as long
  as no one got grabby.  She was apprehensive about leaving
 Zol'zim alone in an unknown city, but she eventually
 relents and leaves the wolf.  She pays little mind to the
 dwarves, concentrating on getting herself cleaned up.  It
 was no natural body of water,
  but she still treated this time for meditation and
 cleansing.  Of course, while washing her hair, all present
 would have seen the pointed tips of her ears.  It
 wasn't until she was finished washing and had gotten out
 to let herself dry in the sun that she
  spoke to Dorhak, apologizing for not answering him earlier
 ((OOC: I honestly missed it)).  She squeezes some more
 water from her hair and flips it back over her shoulder,
 "I don't know if I want to go back to Ba'ru,
 even though that's where I was taken from. 
  I'm not even from there... but I do want to contact
 someone from Ba'ru.  He was very kind to me and took me
 in, I want to let him know I'm ok."

 ----------

 [ In response to being questioned by Arawn again ]

 "Home?  It's... It was Kll'maun.  There's
 nothing there for me now.  If anything, I want to let the
 man who took me in outside of Ba'ru to know I'm
 ok.  His place is what I meant by home, even if it was only
 temporary," she frowned when questioned about her
  eyes and stared straight at Arawn.  "I don't want
 to sound disrespectful, but what is it you can do any
 different?  I'm just thankful I still have eyes there
 and not just hollow sockets..."  She sighed now. 
 These people did save her, so they deserved some
  kind of explanation, "This was done to me by another
 shaman when I was only a child, an older man.  He tried to
 take my eyes.  I'll spare you the details."

  OOC: I don't know how but I missed your reply to

  Arawn's question.

  [When questioned by Arawn again, she bites her lip

  somewhat, “My name is Ixkin.  I was on my way

  back…”  Should she call it home?  It felt like

  it, sort of, she was welcome there, even though she felt
 she

  might have overstayed her welcome with Kaz. 

  “H-home. 

   I’m not from Ba’ru, but I was staying outside of
 the

  city.  I tried to take a shortcut and was captured
 with

  one of the dwarves.  The captain kept asking me

  questions, but I didn’t answer them… I couldn’t
 answer

  them.]

     "Home? Where is that? Perhaps we can

  help the two of you reach there safely," he
 offered

  with compassionate sincerity. "And, if it's not
 a

  sore subject, your eyes... your vision, how did it happen?
 I

  only ask in case it's something we can

  treat."

  ----------------------

  [After everyone has regathered to discuss the
 information

  they've discovered...]

     As information was shared amongst the

  gathered Arawn did his best to assist with translations
 as

  needed, revealing his discovery of the cache of coins
 and

  jewelry that seemed to belong to the sailors in the

  process.

     "The sailors who yet live will likely wish

  their belongings returned. But for those that were

  killed," he said, his lips pursing with displeasure
 or

  disappointment as he mentioned the dead, "I think
 we

  should sell what can't be identified as a memento
 or

   item of significance and send the coin to any
 remaining

  family that can be found.

     I'll take it upon myself to question the

  sailors when the authorities allow for it."

     News of the metalsmith working on

  something in the hold intrigued Arawn, the alfar
 wondering

  if it might be a weapon or something linked to the
 mystery

  set in front of the party.

     "When you're ready it might prove

  interesting to use Akasha in the hold as well. Whatever
 was

  being crafted by the metalsmith seemed important enough
 to

  be done aboard a rocking vessel, a weapon or an item
 linked

  to their mission I'd guess," he said,

   addressing the party but referring to Z'leyra in

  regards to the spell.

  ----------------------

     At some point Arawn would wander over to

  Fremea, his demeanor placid and features pensive.

     "How are you doing?," he asked

  the fairy. Impulse had driven her into action, impulse
 that

  he had hoped she had conquered for her sake and for the
 sake

  of others. She had been quiet since the massacre ended
 and

  he wasn't sure if she felt satisfaction

   or regret, or both.

  Names:

     OOC: What are the names of the Expert and the

  contact in Vahear?
