[pnpgm] Game update #16

[d kerr]

Maelorna smiles and curtsies formally as Arawn states his name and she
looks at him appraisingly with hunger filled eyes, maintains her composure,
"It's a pleasure to meet you, even if under such conditions.  Perhaps later
we could speak more freely and in friendlier surroundings, I've found at
least one Inn that knows me,"  She looks at Arawn and smiles, "I've managed
to find a place to live within the city and I think I can see a future
there, if at least I can avoid Master Gniled, if all else fails with the
group and you ask me to leave, I honestly do not want to, I.. I know he
doesn't trust me, I don't blame him, I..  I just hope we don't wind up in
that situation again.  It's a brothel, oddly, it'a rather fitting and they
were willing to take me in, even allowed me to indulge as I desired.  I was
able to sate my hunger and as you requested, only those who harmed others I
fed upon," as she holds up a preserved eye on a thong, "He was one such,
from my past, he thought to take advantage of me.  He learned his lesson,"
she smiles evilly, "but as for the brothel, I hope if this is over and I
manage it, I would love to own it, I could see making a living there and
thriving," as she pauses and looks at Raddok, "My apologies.  I haven't had
a chance to speak with Arawn for several months, and I'm being rude.  My
name is Maelorna Vess, or Mae, if you prefer.  I have, " as she gives
Raddok a playful smile, "certain proclivities that I enjoy indulging in,"
as she sighs and looks at Arawn, "It's been troublesome, I .. I found one
like me, not a true sister, but a fox woman, I had hoped honestly to make a
friend of her, but she wasn't willing, I..  " as she sighs, "I killed her
when defending myself, I didn't want to, I thought I had found a kindred
that might be willing to at least talk and help me figure out what I am or
how to hunt in a manner that is not as dangerous.  I'm hoping once the
dwarf is satisfied I am not a threat and this is over, to find another,
either a full sister, instead of a half breed like myself or another like
the fox woman,  she was a very pretty," she says with a wistful smile.
"Back there, with the sailor," she asks as she looks back the way they came
"I don't know why I...  wanted to kill him," she says nervously.
