[New Stuff]<br><br>
[Decalis 2nd,
1635TH]<br>
[Time: 5:55
pm?]<br><br>
When
Mae wakes up, and Kiet sees Dorhak is still steamed, he<br>
wonders if he will
have to use his skills to dispatch her.<br>
Unlikely, with
this group. But they are leaving it up to the<br>
dwarf and Kiet
isn't sure he won't demand her life. It would<br>
certainly be a
difficult choice had it happened to Kiet.<br><br>
Maelorna awakens with the feeling of having yet again survived<br>
in the city
sewers, cold and damp which always sapped energy<br>
from her.<br><br>
The
last lingering thoughts of the dream still tease her<br>
memories as she
looks about. Her hair had fallen about her face,<br>
hiding her eyes.
She manages to sit up on her knees as the cold<br>
does nothing but
make her perfect breasts stand out. She<br>
smiles gratefully
at Fremea as the blanket is placed upon her.<br><br>
She
thinks for a moment as she recalls what she can, but after<br>
stepping through
the gate and just what her dreams she can<br>
remember and it
comes back to her.<br><br>
She
looks at Z'leyra and takes a ragged breath, before giving<br>
a sigh."I
broke my word, if not Dorhak, then it would have been<br>
another of
you. My will had finally started to fade and I was<br>
on the verge of
not being able to control the hunger. Passing<br>
through what we
did, it was the first creature I laid eyes upon<br>
that was the
victim I chose. If this were a city, I would be<br>
able to feed
without harming, taking a bit here and there,<br>
usually from
drunks or those in the throes of passion, as I've<br>
worked in brothels
before.<br><br>
The
bearded dwarf paces back and forth as he considers<br>
Z'leyra's question
on Mae's fate. Then he circles<br>
around the now
conscious ex-slave. He circles and<br>
grunts leering at
her naked form.<br><br>
The
dwarf isn't looking too happy, but not many realize it<br>
considering he's
so ugly they don't even want to look upon him.<br>
He puts away his
mace in his belt.<br><br>
Arawn
smiles and kneels down to release Mae form her<br>
ropes so she can
stand and stretch.<br><br>
Once
Mae is released from her ropes, Dorhak calls over to<br>
Mae.
"Lassie!" At the same time he uses his index finger
to<br>
motion her to come
near to him and down to his level.<br><br>
Then
he suddenly and quickly slaps her as hard as he can,<br>
right across her
face. "Don't you EVER touch me again!", he<br>
yells.
"Your penalty for stealing that which is nearly most<br>
dear to me, won't
be with your life. Instead, you will give<br>
over to me HALF of
any money treasure you gain as your share.<br>
Also, if there are
any special items available that come into<br>
your possession
from this trip, 'I' get to choose one of yours<br>
for myself!
But I don't choose until AFTER you have made your<br>
selections."<br><br>
And
then, Dorhak surprises Kiet with that massive smack across<br>
her face.
Kiet yells out "Whooooaaaaa!", not telling him to<br>
stop, but more
impressed by the act.<br><br>
Then
again maybe Mae actually enjoys it rough.<br><br>
The
young dwarf is obviously really, really angry, and doing<br>
nothing to hide
it. "Those are my demands for reparation. The<br>
slap? That
was the penalty and interest!"<br><br>
Some
in the party stop eating and stare. Some release an<br>
audible
gasp. Some are neutral but most are shocked.<br><br>
The
Alfar who is rarely upset feels his ire rise but only<br>
for a few
moments. He should've anticipated it with his empath<br>
senses but there
was no predicting that slap.<br><br>
Mae
carefully picks herself up from the ground and thinks<br>
for a moment,
before giving him a soft knowing smile. "If<br>
that is what you
desire, I will endeavor to never touch you<br>
again," as
she pauses for a moment and reaches down with her<br>
free hands and
after a few minutes, manages to unhook the only<br>
item she had laid
claim to. She drops the tooled belt at the<br>
dwarf's
feet. "Other than the belt, which I only took as I<br>
had need of it at
the time, I have no claim in any treasure the<br>
others have taken
it upon themselves to acquire as their own.<br>
Thus only that I
can offer you," as she ignores the dwarf and<br>
steps away,
pulling the blanket closer to her.<br><br>
Looking over at Arawn, "Would it be better if I changed back<br>
into my other self
and remain invisible until we can get back?<br>
The most I'm
capable of doing to help defend the group at this<br>
point is using
harsh language about their mothers and fathers.<br>
At least the other
body is more than capable of making friends<br>
out of
enemies."<br><br>
She
thinks for a moment and then looks up at Arawn, "I may<br>
need to summon the
sister who taught me. Maybe she can tell<br>
me a way to
survive without having this happen again?"<br><br>
The
group recovers from the shock and eat once more.<br><br>
Kiet
is suddenly shocked at the realization concerning the<br>
horses. We've been
gone for months! By now, those horses have<br>
new owners... and
probably all the goods still with them! This<br>
is a barbarian
area. Crap! We'll have to replace everything.<br>
Including Ma
Siwang.<br><br>
"Um...guys? I think we have a problem. How are we going
to<br>
prove the horses
and other stuff we left behind belongs to us?<br>
All of the horses
and items left behind are probably gone!"<br><br>
With a
sickening feeling Kiet grabs his stomach not dueoot<br>
lack of food but
all that lost material. The irony is that<br>
he - or rather his
shifter Kiet - destroyed gear from the<br>
party including
Z'leyra's prized satchel.<br><br>
Kell
then glances at Kell's skeleton. Recalling what Raki<br>
said of a possible
funeral.<br><br>
When
Raki comments about taking Kell home, Kiet feels his<br>
chest tighten up
all over again. He looks over to Raki and<br>
says. "Yes,
we do. Raki, you are under no real obligation to<br>
do that, but you
would most certainly be welcome. We might<br>
want to have you
not look like Kell when we go, but I think<br>
your memories
would help out tremendously."<br><br>
"I will be happy to pay our way for that trip."<br><br>
Raki
nods, "I do not know how money works here. But<br>
seeing his family
and home might give me an edge to understand<br>
humans
better."<br><br>
After
Dorhak's pronouncement, Kiet nods his head n agreement.<br>
It seems a wise
course of action...and way nicer than Kiet<br>
himself might have
been.<br><br>
Z'leyra shares some waybread from her pack. "While the lava<br>
seems to have
claimed my healing gear, some magic items and many<br>
natural magic
materials I fortunately had some items in other<br>
locations. These
should help sooth your appetite for food."<br><br>
To
Arawn. "Yes, I can, with appropriate precautions (ring,<br>
staff,
purification, divination) cast Akasha for you."<br><br>
"I am glad that you both live." Z'leyra says to Mae and<br>
Dorhak. "Lets
try and keep things friendly from here on. And<br>
if I gift Mae
something it does NOT count towards Dorhak's<br>
treasure."<br><br>
"Z'layha, Kameri metal does not need to have these dormant<br>
shifters in it to
be great. Our father and I both made excellent<br>
examples of Kameri
weapons without using ore contaminated by<br>
them. If necessary
we may be able to find a way to cleanse the<br>
ore of the
shifters without releasing them. Perhaps Arawn will<br>
give us advice on
how to do so. I suspect that you and I shall<br>
have a great many
questions from the Elders about these recent<br>
events."<br><br>
Z'layha looks down to her discarded dagger. "Yes we have<br>
normal ore.
However we've done the tests over many decades.<br>
The ...those were
far better. There are thousands if not<br>
millions around
the world. Traded, gifted or stolen. It<br>
would be
impossible to clean each one. Plus doing so might<br>
free them and if
one is released...it is too much a risk."<br><br>
Z'leyra continues, "As we have apparently been gone for<br>
months our gear
and horses will have 'acquired new owners'. I<br>
will try to
recover what I can of the items you describe to me.<br>
The rest I will
attempt to replace. I will work on my<br>
teleportation
skills so that I may get back to Sivas quickly in<br>
one month from
now. I may need help teleporting horses back."<br><br>
"By Zu and Manakel! I forgot. My javelins were left
with<br>
my horse!"
Kiet slaps his head in frustration. Karma must be<br>
hitting him hard
with item loss.<br><br>

Update....Wednesday...<br><br>
GM: A short
update but I started late. We are so close.<br>
I want to officially have adventure end 9/1. So with<br>
this plan in mind unless Arawn need to do tons of<br>
stuff here we'll move on. The mystery on horses and<br>
gear will be quickly resolved don't worry.<br><br>
Z will stay here a month. So party via Arawn I<br>
assume will translocate to Cetric's camp. Since<br>
its getting dark party may spend a bit of time but<br>
might only have 45 min before sunset. So maybe<br>
10-15? Then teleport to Sivas and the Library<br>
roof.<br><br>
Once climb down the party will have a Bonus<br>
Scene. Think of it like Marvel's ending credit<br>
scene. It is a teaser. Once this scene is<br>
done and completed (same update) the adventure<br>
is over. So if all goes well we can finish<br>
in next update.<br><br>
Then next Saturday I'll announce the details on<br>
IBT and we'll start the long IBT process. This<br>
usually takes a few months to process and so<br>
maybe by late fall we'll start new adventure<br>
which will center around Dorhak.<br><br>
Saturday's update I'll have a lot of clean up and<br>
admin work including some experience reports, loot<br>
and other things. While as players you just decide<br>
on IBT actions I have TONS to do. :) But don't<br>
decide on IBT yet until next week when I give details<br>
and some minor rule edits.<br><br>
Arawn I assume ok to tp all to the various places?<br><br>
If anything needs to be done before adventure ends<br>
do so asap (that can't wait till IBT).<br><br>
