[Janaq 12th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 12:10
am]<br><br>
After
a long day learning dagger in the city and now just<br>
finishing up her
dexterity training for the night, Ix finds<br>
a nice place to
rest outside.<br><br>
It is
a full moon so the area is not fully dark. Suddenly<br>
a 20 foot giant
appears from the darkness about 50 feet from<br>
the cabin.
What is this land with giants? The one eyed<br>
skin wearing giant
holds a club. It seems to stare at Ix for<br>
a good 2
minutes. Then it just decides to move on.<br><br>
Later
at breakfast Kaz explains it could've been a Searbhani.<br>
But they are Sidh
friendly so he isn't sure why it didn't<br>
attack her the
human. Ix just eats her food quietly. <br><br>
[Janaq 13th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Ix
decide to try 3 more orient self and 3 more shape changing<br>
spells. All
trances work but only 2 shape changes work.<br><br>
[Janaq 14th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 10:07
pm]<br><br>
Ix and
Kaz are walking home from a nearby farm. While he<br>
is a hermit he
does have some friends. So this night he<br>
attends a old
fashioned barn raising party. Dancing and good<br>
food are there as
they finish a new barn for the farm.<br><br>
As
they walk over the hills in the darkness they spot a<br>
20 foot 800 pound
hill giant. Since the wolf is not here<br>
both run for
cover. Ix asks why this land has so many<br>
giants? But
Kaz just shrugs. After 20 minutes of fleeing<br>
the giant they
finally lose it and head home.<br><br>
Ix
casts 3 more trance spells and 3 healings but all 3<br>
fail so she ends
up with a cut finger. <br><br>
[Janaq 16th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Ix
finds a deformed rabbit with a skin disease. She<br>
decides to try to
practice her shamanic cure disease spells.<br>
She casts 3 trance
spells and 3 cure disease spells. Two<br>
of each
pass. It seems the skin disease begins to get<br>
more normal
color. <br><br>
[Janaq 17th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Ix
casts 3 more Orient and 3 more healing spells. Two<br>
each work and she
heals. <br><br>
[Janaq 18th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 7:55
am]<br><br>
Ix is
more confident on this city stuff so decides to head<br>
to town to explore
alone with the wolf at the cabin watching<br>
Kaz.
Suddenly Ix feels a man bump up and paws her. She<br>
whirls around to
find a beggar trying to steal from her. But since<br>
she has no money
it is pointless.<br><br>
Then
Ix's smiles as she recognizes the beggar as the same<br>
man who begs for
money in the park recently The man sees<br>
this as well and
begins to run but Ix stops him. She smiles<br>
and explains she
also tried to learn the skill of pick pocketing<br>
in her home
land. Mainly to take food and things the others<br>
refused to give
her. She demands the beggar teach her city<br>
skills and how to
steal as he did or be thrown to the city guards.<br><br>
The
man weighs his options and finally nods. He'll teach her<br>
Deftness but will
not come to her rescue if she is caught. So<br>
over the next week
the two watch the crowd and learn how the<br>
people walk and
act. The beggar feels a blind girl might actually<br>
have a chance of
such things if not for duty alone. Over the<br>
next week during
the day they try to steal things from vendor<br>
stalls or pick
pockets. <br><br>
[Janaq 19th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 4:04
pm]<br><br>
Ix and
the beggar are in a military area near some barracks.<br>
Ix is about done
for the day to return to the cabin. When<br>
they discover a
dozen men in 2 columns marching past. The<br>
military column
walk in step and Ix is amazed at the shiny<br>
chainmail and
weapons.<br><br>
Ix
practices some more cure disease by finding what may be<br>
diseased animals
to practice on. But only 1 spell each seems<br>
to work.
<br><br>
<br>
[Janaq 20th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 2:32
pm]<br><br>
Ix is
standing near a private shop of some sort. She<br>
can't read the
writing but it is small. The beggar is<br>
on the street
trying to talk a merchant in giving him two<br>
rice balls to
eat. A man exits the shop and stops a man<br>
passing. Ix
listens and the man seems to be a recruiter<br>
for the
military.<br><br>
Ix
notices that the man just ignores her full presence<br>
completely.
Is this how men act here?<br><br>
Later
that night Ix practices her healing spell. She gets<br>
2 trance spells
and 2 healing spells working. <br><br>
[Janaq 21st,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 11:41
am]<br><br>
While
walking down a alley Ix encounters a black cat. She<br>
stops and pets
it. Cats here are pretty friendly. At least<br>
its not
giants. A minute later though a small boy around 8<br>
comes and says its
his cat that it ran away.<br><br>
Ix
casts 3 more Shamanic Orient spells and 3 more Communicate<br>
spells with all
three each working.<br><br>
[Janaq 22nd,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 12:30
pm]<br><br>
The
beggar takes a nice haul and steals 3 copper. So today<br>
both eat lunch at
a tavern. Ix ignores the beggar talking<br>
about great hauls
as she watches a man at a nearby table. The<br>
man is gambling
with cards. In the tribe cards really were<br>
not around.
But they did gamble with bone dice.<br><br>
Here
food gets cold as she watches the man win several hands<br>
and the victims at
his table leave. Ix asks the man if she<br>
could teach her
cards. The man laughs and agrees for some coin.<br>
Disappointed Ix
returns to her table.<br><br>
Ix
practices 3 more times with her cure disease with only<br>
two of her trance
and cure spells working. <br><br>
[Time: 8:40
pm]<br><br>
Ix and
Zol Zim are outside the cabin getting fire wood when 2 <br>
creatures surge
forward. Ix can tell they are spider like. As<br>
they charge the
black spiders with red bands on their torso stand<br>
about 10 inches.
The first lunges at Zol Zim who dodges and skirts<br>
away. The
second one tries to bite Ix but she does an acrobatic<br>
flip and gets
away.<br><br>
Ix
runs to get her cane-sword and prepares to fight. She stabs<br>
the torso but the
tough hide only grants 1 point of damage.<br>
The wolf lunges
for one spider but its too agile.<br><br>
Both
spiders attack both targets again but fail to make contact.<br><br>
Ix
stabs the spider again this time doing 5 points of damage.<br>
Wolf tries again
but the spider is too fast.<br><br>
The
spiders again try to bite both subjects but fail to hit.<br><br>
Ix
fails to hit the spider near her. But the wolf clamps down<br>
on his spider and
kills it.<br><br>
The
lone spider tries its final poisoned bite but it fails<br>
to make skin
contact.<br><br>
Both
Ix and the wolf fail to make contact with the spider.<br><br>
The
spider done with its poison for the night decides<br>
to turn and
run. The wolf gives chase but the spider seems<br>
to have magical
speed.<br><br>
[Janaq 22nd,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 7:26
pm]<br><br>
At the
cabin helping to stack fire wood Ix notices a lone<br>
small white cat
approach. Ix pets it and falls in love. But<br>
when Zol Zim sees
it and growls the cat runs fast into the<br>
darkness.<br><br>
The
next morning both do not find the spider. But in fact<br>
find only dust
fragments. Kaz wonders if the spiders may have<br>
been Fusin. <br>
<br>
[Janaq 23rd,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Today
is the last day of Ix's dexterity training.<br><br>
At the
cabin Ix casts 3 more healing spells. Two of the<br>
Orient spell and 2
healing spells work. <br><br>
[Janaq 24th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
In the
late afteroon Ix reflects on her last week trying<br>
out her deftness
skills. She had 2 good days and 5 bad days.<br>
But at least she
was never caught. She examines her haul.<br>
From one merchant
on 2nd day she collected 8 silver, 2 copper<br>
and 2 brass
bits. She doesn't understand much on this coin<br>
stuff. But
Kaz explains the concept to her later. On the 5th<br>
day she collects 9
silver, 2 copper and 2 brass bits. <br><br>
For
the next 16 days Ix will train at night with her<br>
agility to improve
it.<br><br>
[Time: 11:45
pm]<br><br>
Ix
hears the wolf whimpering and goes outside. She sees<br>
some creature on
the wolf's back. It looks like a winged<br>
bird.
No. Its a bat of some sort. It is attached to the<br>
wolf's back and
feeding off his blood. Ix draws her dagger<br>
and tells the wolf
to remain still. Ix creeps up to it<br>
and stabs the
bat. It screeches and releases the wolf.<br>
But Ix stabs it
again and the vampire bat is killed. <br><br>
Kaz
wakes up to help treat the wolf.<br><br>
Ix
misses her forest. These hills have forests as the far<br>
tundra has warm
pools. She asks Kaz if there is a forest<br>
around. He
says north of the city about 3 miles on the coast<br>
is a small
one.<br><br>
Ix
decides that she will want to go to this forest and<br>
be there for a
week or so. Kaz shrugs and collects some<br>
camping gear for
her and some food. <br><br>
[Janaq 25th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Forest]<br>
[Time: 10:14
am]<br><br>
Ix
finally finds the forest with her backpack on. Having<br>
left before
sunrise. She enters the forest and feels at<br>
ease. She
begins to explore and look for plans.<br><br>
She
tries 3 more attempts at cure disease. Three trance<br>
and 2 cure disease
spells work. <br><br>
[Janaq 26th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Forest]<br><br>
At the
cabin only 1 of 3 orient spells and healing spells<br>
work.
<br><br>
[Janaq 27th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Forest]<br>
[Time: 10:31
am]<br><br>
Ix is
inspecting a bush for berries when suddenly 2 large<br>
spiders leap from
the trees to the ground. This spider is<br>
not like the Fusin
but has heavy fur with large eyes. Ix<br>
knows these from
her own forest - Great Spiders.<br><br>
She
takes a acrobatic flip and grabs her cane-sword. She<br>
charges one
stabbing it in the torso doing 8 points of damage.<br>
The wolf leaps at
the other large spider but it leaps away.<br><br>
The
wounded spider thrashes with 2 legs and rams Ix. The<br>
second leg
would've hurt Ix but her leathers protect her. But<br>
she is thrown onto
her back. The spider moves over her.<br><br>
The
second spider attacks the wolf. With its first leg<br>
it hurts the wolf
doing 3 points.<br><br>
Ix
grabs her dagger and tries to stab up at the spider<br>
but it uses his
legs to parry. The wolf tries to help<br>
her by leaping at
the spider but the second spider blocks<br>
his path.<br><br>
The
spider over Ix bites down onto her chest and injects<br>
the poison.
Ix suddenly loses control of her limbs. She<br>
wonders if this
could be the end.<br><br>
The
wolf bites the spider hurting Ix and does 5 points of<br>
damage.<br><br>
Soon
both spiders easily over power the wolf and paralyze<br>
him as well. Ix
stares at the trees wondering if this will be<br>
the end.
Desperate she whispers a few words as her lips<br>
seem to still be
able to move ever so slightly.<br><br>
The
spiders move around the captured ones and then<br>
gather leaves for
their webs. Time to store the food<br>
for later.
It seems like hours but around 8 minutes<br>
after taken down a
roar is heard.<br><br>
A
large black shadow leaps over Ix as it leaps and<br>
attacks one
spider. Ix can't see it but can hear<br>
caws like a cat
and soon the spiders flee. It seems<br>
their poisoned
doses are gone so no longer have the<br>
ability to take
more prey.<br><br>
The
shadow comes over Ix's head. It is a large maw<br>
of some kind with
whiskers. Then the shadow moves<br>
out of the
darkness and Ix smiles inside. A jaguar!<br>
Her in this forest
near the river. A miracle. Her<br>
tonah was called
and it heard.<br><br>
The
jaguar lays near Ix and purrs.<br><br>
Ix
resigns to the fact that she will be unable to move<br>
a long time.
At least her tribal training says it will<br>
not kill`
her.<br><br>
[Time: 11:09
pm[<br><br>
The 2
spiders return and another battle ensues. The<br>
jaguar protects
the shaman who called her. Ix is awoken<br>
to the fight but
can't tell what is going on. Soon the<br>
jaguar comes back
with blood on his face. It licks Ix<br>
to ensure she is
still alive. Then lays down and purrs.<br>
Did he chase off
the spiders or kill them? Ix returns to<br>
sleep as it will
be a very long day. <br><br>
[Janaq 28th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Forest]<br><br>
Ix
does 3 more orient self and shape changing spells. But<br>
only 1 of each
work. <br><br>
[Janaq 29th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Forest]<br>
[Time: 3:39
am]<br><br>
Ix
tries her fingers for the 10,847th time. Finally<br>
they wiggle.
Soon she is able to move her arm. Then<br>
a leg. Then
turn her head. Soon she sits up and stares<br>
at the
forest. Two spiders lay dead and flies are buzzing<br>
all over
them. Almost 40 hours after being bitten the<br>
spiders were
killed during the night battle. Ix hugs the<br>
jaguar and gives
thanks.<br><br>
the
large jaguar stands and paces. Then seems to find<br>
Ix safe and move
into the forest. Ix has to clean up<br>
after her body
relieves itself during the day and a half.<br>
She finds the wolf
soon is able to also move.<br><br>
Lightning a fire near the dead spiders the smoke makes<br>
the bugs mostly
leave. She has almost lost 2 days in<br>
the forest and
hungry. But she is determined to get something<br>
from this.
She begins to cut the fur off the spiders. It<br>
is too late for
the poison to be milked and she doesn't have<br>
a crystal goblet
anyways.<br><br>
Ix
orients herself and then casts healing upon her own<br>
wounds. Later that night she casts 2 more each to<br>
practice healing.
Two of the 3 each pass that day. <br><br>
[Time: 10:26
pm]<br><br>
Ix is
awoken by grunts. She soon discovers a boar is<br>
in the
bushes. She goes to the fire and draw a burning<br>
limb and waves it
around to scare the boar away. Most<br>
boar won't care
but this one seems scared and leaves. <br><br>
[Janaq 31st,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Forest]<br>
[Time: 10:34
am]<br><br>
Ix and
Zol Zim are walking in the forest when 2 hyena<br>
charge
barking. Ix raises her cane sword but then she<br>
notices 3 small
pups near the adults. The hyena seem<br>
upset the human is
in their territory. Ix could probably<br>
take out the two
adults. But killing pups is not her thing.<br>
so she tells the
wolf to simply back off slowly. They will<br>
avoid the
area. The hyenas watch as they leave the area. <br><br>
[Febris 1st,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru]<br><br>
Ix
leaves the forest and enters the city. She finds<br>
a shop after 3
tries that is willing to buy the great<br>
spider fur.
Ix for the first time in a long while uses<br>
her
"blindness" and makes the clerk feel pity. But<br>
in the end she
only gets 8 gold for it not the 10 usually<br>
due to the damage
and decay.<br><br>
Ix
then tries to locate some teachers for teaching her<br>
local herbalism
and husbandry. Jamir who owns a herb<br>
shops offers to
teach her for a week. <br><br>
At a
corral she finds a very tall muscled man named Bor<br>
to help teach her
a bit of husbaandry. But it is her 10th<br>
try as most feel a
blind girl can't teach a cat to drink<br>
milk much less
other animals. She figures it will be<br>
41 copper for
both. <br><br>
Jamir
takes Ix and the wolf to the hills. He goes<br>
on and on about
the local plants. Over the next week<br>
Jamir will meet
with Ix and teach her herbalist skill.<br><br>
At the
end of the day Ix wants to practice her shape<br>
changing
spell. After grooming the wolf she grabs a clump<br>
of hair to use.
Then casts orient self and shape change<br>
into the
wolf. This causes Zol Zim to growl a bit confused.<br>
Ix tries twice
more each doing the orient self using her<br>
drum and 2 more
shape changing but only 1 each work. <br><br>
[Febris 2nd,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru]<br>
[Time: 9:43
pm]<br><br>
While
doing acrobatics outside to hone her agility Ix<br>
hears a loud
rumble. She soon sees shadows that looks<br>
to be a dozen
horses. They get near and ride past. Ix<br>
counts maybe 10-11
riders. All wearing armor and heavy<br>
weapons. But
she can't tell if they are military or not.<br>
They simply ignore
the cabin and move on.<br><br>
[Febris 3rd,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru]<br>
[Time: 1:41
pm]<br><br>
Jamir
and Ix notice a small army of Ba'ru uniformed<br>
men walking in the
hills about half a mile away. Unsure<br>
what is going
on. They simply march eastward.<br><br>
[Febris 6th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru]<br>
[Time: 1:41
pm]<br><br>
Jamir
and Ix are looking for some healing herbs when<br>
Jamir yells.
He grabs the small woman and pulls her<br>
to a bush.
Thinking he is about to assault her she<br>
grabs her
dagger. But he points. In the sky there<br>
is a
flying...thing. Is that yet another giant? This<br>
land of giants no
only has mean giants but they fly<br>
too? Ix
stares as the giant seems to fly from one<br>
side of the hill
to another. Jamir later explains it<br>
is called a
firbolg.<br><br>
[Time: 6:56
pm]<br><br>
Ix is
heading back to the cabin when she finds a body<br>
on the
ground. Inspecting the middle aged man she<br>
finds him
dead. It looks like the man died from the<br>
severe wound on
his chest. Seeing as half of his chest<br>
was eaten by
something. She hurries to the cabin not<br>
wanting to find
his killer.<br><br>
[Febris 8th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Bor
who doesn't seem too bright teaches how best to<br>
control a ox,
horse and cattle over the next week.<br>
He is not a strong
talker but gives fast and quick<br>
orders. It
is very rough training but ix takes it in<br>
stride and learns
over the week. <br><br>
Ix
completes the last day of her agility training late<br>
that night.
<br><br>
[Febris 9th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 5:57
pm]<br><br>
Ix is
heading to the cabin and in the hills when she<br>
hears a
noise. The roar was talked about by Kaz as<br>
a mountain
lion. Picking up stones she begins to clank<br>
the stones to
scare the beast away.<br><br>
[Febris 10th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 5:47
am]<br><br>
Ix is
up early eager to learn from Bor again. She<br>
notices a large
adult deer buck in the area and watches<br>
as it grazes then
moves on.<br><br>
[Febris 12th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Three
orient self spells give her a trance but only 2 of the 3<br>
soul sight spells
work today. <br><br>
[Febris 13th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 10:41
pm]<br><br>
Ix is
using the outhouse again and notices a few animals<br>
leaping in the
nearby hills. She has seen them during<br>
the day so figures
they must be a half dozen antelope moving<br>
cross
country.<br><br>
[Febris 14th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Ix
asks for Kaz to teach her better sign language. So<br>
for the next week
he helps her around the cabin learning<br>
some local
dialects using signs.<br><br>
[Febris 17th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 12:11
pm]<br><br>
A lone
rider approaches the cabin as Ix is inside having<br>
lunch. Kaz
is off to the general store buying more spices.<br>
The rider
dismounts and Ix sees him a tall tanned man<br>
with long
hair. He is wearing leathers and a red colored<br>
snake is wrapped
around his neck. Ix is amazed by a man<br>
with a snake like
this.<br><br>
"Hello. Can I get some water for my horse?" The man
asks.<br><br>
Ix
points to the well and bucket. The man thanks her after<br>
giving the horse
some water. Then she is amazed at the<br>
snake
flying! The man mounts up and smiles at her. "Thank<br>
you miss.
I'm Caladan. Heading north to visit my home. Have<br>
a nice day
miss."<br><br>
[Febris 21st-24th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Ix
spends the next 3 days practicing acrobatics to help<br>
hone her
body.<br><br>
[Febris 24th-
Marqi 2nd, 1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Ix
enters the city and hires a dance teacher at a dance<br>
studio. But
there are actually 3 teachers who help her<br>
this week not just
one due to time constraints.<br><br>
[Marqi 1st,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 8:57
am]<br><br>
Ix is
heading to town when she spots 3 falcons in the air<br>
above her
circling. She watches as it gains air currents to<br>
go
higher.<br><br>
[Marqi 3rd,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 8:57
am]<br><br>
Ix
enters the city and finds a teacher to help improve<br>
her ocarno
instrument. It takes 4 music shops before she<br>
can find a
teacher. She pays the 7 copper for a week's worth<br>
of
training.<br><br>
Ix
finds a lot of scornful folks and people who lie. She<br>
decides to
practice her soul sight on random folks to see if<br>
she can tell
things from them. She casts 3 orient self and 3<br>
soul sight
spells. Three trance and only 1 soul sight work.<br><br>
[Marqi 6th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
IX
practices her soul sight spell 3 more times today. Two<br>
of the 3 spell
sets work. <br><br>
[Marqi 9th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Two of
3 soul sight attempts work today. <br><br>
[Marqi 10th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Ix
heads to the city to find the gambler who turned her<br>
down at the
tavern. Now that she has money from selling<br>
the spider fur and
plants she can pay for help. She<br>
finds the gambler
at his table taking more money away from<br>
innocent victims.
She waits till the table is empty and<br>
approaches the
gambler.<br><br>
"Show me the money." He orders.<br><br>
Ix
jiggles the coin bag. He waves her down and begins<br>
to explain the
concept of cards. Over the next 10 days<br>
the gambler named
LaQor teaches her cards and dice. <br><br>
[Marqi 15th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br><br>
Only 1
orient spell and all 3 soul sight spell tries work.<br>
In fact one spell
fails abysmally and Ix is stunned for 8 hours.<br>
She loses energy
and some of her casting ability for that day.<br><br>
[Marqi 18th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 9:41
am]<br><br>
Behind
the tavern at the outhouse Ix encounters a wild<br>
dog. Since
her wolf is not there she decides to grab some<br>
of her dried meat
from her pack and toss it to him.<br><br>
Ix
wants to practice her Detection spell to detect some<br>
simple things like
silver in her coin bag or other things.<br>
She tries 3
attempts. Three of her trances works but only<br>
1 detection seems
to work. <br><br>
[Marqi 19th,
1636TH] - [Ba'ru Hills]<br>
[Time: 7:53
am]<br><br>
Ix is
walking near the food market and encounters a strange<br>
beast. It
looks like a horse of sorts but has a large hump<br>
on its back.
There is a rider on it as he rides pass. Later<br>
during gambling
practice the gambler says it was a war camel.<br><br>
Over
the course of her stay with Kaz, Ixkin does warm up to<br>
him, although it
seems she sees him as more of a father figure<br>
or big
brother. Several times, she will start to open up to him<br>
but then she'll
suddenly shut herself off emotionally, which<br>
would likely alert
Kaz that someone she was close to or even<br>
trusted had hurt
her in the past, which has likely made her<br>
afraid to get
close to others. I imagine he would attempt to<br>
get her to talk
about herself so he can learn more about her and<br>
where she came
from, and perhaps even try to chip away at the<br>
wall and get her
to talk about what's bothering her. She would<br>
answer some basic
questions but wouldn't elaborate much into<br>
personal
things. She might talk about certain things once she<br>
feels more
comfortable and maybe even talk more about the<br>
personal
things. If parentage comes up, because I assume he<br>
might ask her if
she's half elf or fae at some point, she'll<br>
simply reply that
her mom always avoided the question, so she<br>
has no idea who or
what her father is, and that she didn't even<br>
know what elf and
fae were, or that other people had pointed<br>
ears until just
recently.<br><br>
[Time: 5:45
pm]<br><br>
Ix has
decided her stay at the cabin may be too much.<br>
She is grateful
but she bought Zol Zim today not caring<br>
what others
think. She bought all of her gear since she<br>
was almost
planning just leaving and not coming back. But<br>
she owes Kaz a
explanation. So she decides to head to the<br>
cabin.
<br><br>
Ix is
leaving the tavern after many dice games today<br>
learning the local
gambling rules. The gambler is charming<br>
but can be cruel
in his support of bad luck. <br><br>
She is
walking down a alley for short cuts to leave this<br>
city to go back to
the cabin. From behind the street is<br>
that way and in
front the alley turns left and right. Right<br>
should take her to
the east gate to the hills. She gets to<br>
about 20 feet from
the edge and a figure rounds the corner from<br>
the left. It
is a short man with a shaggy beard. He is only<br>
about the same
size of Ix. The short man looks behind him<br>
and back down the
alley. A face of panic seems to be showing<br>
as he runs on
short stubby legs.<br><br>
Ix
then realizes this short man isn't quite human. Could<br>
he be a
dwarf? The short man suddenly stops and stares. No.<br>
He is looking over
Ix's shoulder . Ix turns around and sees<br>
3 humans with
swords moving this way. She turns around just<br>
in time to see
another man behind the short man round the<br>
corner.<br><br>
Trapped Ix figures this isn't her fight. The short man gets<br>
to 3 feet and
since he has no weapons looks around for options.<br>
The short man
begins to speak in a strange language.<br><br>
Then
men behind Ix also speak in another odd language.<br>
IX draws her cane
sword up ready to fight. But suddenly<br>
from above a very
large net drops onto the short man and Ix.<br>
Zol Zim growls and
begins to move toward the 3 men.<br><br>
One of
the three men raises a blowgun and a dart hits the<br>
wolf. Then another
dart just as the wolf leaps. But the<br>
wolf is then
knocked out. The short man tries to free himself<br>
from the net as Ix
tries to figure out what is going on here.<br><br>
Then a
dart hits Ix in the waist. Then one dart hits<br>
the short
man. Within a few seconds both collapse into<br>
darkness.<br><br>
[Time: 8:17
pm]<br><br>
Ix
wakes up into darkness. She is in a damp, dusty<br>
enclosed
place. She finds herself in iron chains holding her<br>
hands to some cold
iron. Glancing around it seems like<br>
she is in some
kind of iron cage of sorts. Her gear and<br>
all of her stuff
is missing. Ix smells the air and a<br>
scent of salt and
body odor is around. She then notices<br>
several other
cages to the left and right of her. Inside<br>
are several humans
all look small. She notices the<br>
small man or at
least one that looks like him in the<br>
one cage to the
left. Then again the other men in<br>
this place all
look the same with those shaggy beards.<br><br>
She
shakes her chains eager to escape but it is futile.<br>
In the far corner
to the right is another cage separate<br>
sits her
wolf. Why did they take her wolf? HE is sound<br>
asleep or
dead. Ix feels groggy still and loses her will<br>
to fight
sleep.<br><br>
[Marqi 20th,
1636TH] - [Unknown]<br><br>
Ix is
awoken to sounds at the cage. Two men grab<br>
her and hoist her
up. One laughs and begins to paw<br>
her chest.
She screams but the other man punches her<br>
in the stomach
knocking her breath out. She is then<br>
taken by the
armpits out of the cage. Then down a<br>
dark hall.
She is pushed inside another room and<br>
forced to
stand.<br><br>
Once
she recovers her breath she sees the windows in<br>
the far side of
the room. It is bright and she sees a<br>
lot of
water. There are bits of trees to the right<br>
that seem to move
away but also back and forth. She<br>
then realizes she
is on a ship. The type she saw at<br>
the port
exploring. Strange craft that sail the waters.<br>
A man sits behind
a desk in front of the windows. He<br>
looks up and
points to a young girl standing<br>
nearby.<br><br>
"Who are you and why were you with the dwarf?" The<br>
girl asks.
The man speaks in that odd language and the woman<br>
translates.
"Those ears of yours are Sidh like. Why is<br>
this
so?"<br><br>
Ix
stands confused and hesitant to answer. If she says<br>
the wrong
words. She might die. If the right words she<br>
also may
die. She needs more information. She stands<br>
firm. The
man asks the questions over and over.<br><br>
The
man shrugs and adds, "the wolf will fetch a nice<br>
profit. It
is a strange one. But you....maybe for the men<br>
they can have some
use for you." He waves a hand and speaks.<br>
The other girl
rushes to Ix. "You must tell them they<br>
will throw me
overboard!"<br><br>
But
before Ix can speak she is pushed out by one of the<br>
men back to her
cage. Behind her she hears the other<br>
man dragging the
girl up some stairs. As she a clank of<br>
the cage is heard
she hears a scream then a splash.<br><br>
The
man leaves and soon the short men or the dwarves it<br>
seems per the man
begin to murmur. But she can't understand<br>
them at
all.<br><br>
[Marqi 23rd,
1636TH] - [Unknown]<br><br>
Ix has
been given food and water. But so far no one has<br>
touched her.
The other dozen or so dwarves seem to also<br>
be fed a bit
better than her. Every so often they are given<br>
time to relieve
themselves up on deck as well as Ix. But<br>
it is awkward
doing so in chains whlie others watch.<br><br>
She
has lost all track of time. Has it been 2 or 3<br>
days? She
still can't figure out a way to escape. But<br>
after going on
deck to be splashed by water bucket to<br>
wash some of her
odor away and relieve herself she<br>
feels the boat
rocking less. She can only guess they<br>
are docked at some
port or not moving at sea.<br><br>
