*Title: A Friend for Magpie and Wizard

*GM: Aftershock

*Characters: [[Magpie]], [[Corey]]

*Place: Fernwood, Room 3</div>

After asking around at the arcanist's society and retrieving the book of Albus Kinkade back into his possession, Cor'ethil Cari'thana has taken his mother's rather odd absence for the past few hours (surely she's just holed up in her own accommodations with his father) as an opportunity to do the right thing and to return Albus Kinkade to Corey's one-time ally and patient listener of botanical facts, Magpie.

"What _is_ the Malice of Infinity, anyway? I mean, why that title? It sounds like this one sildanyari romance I read when I was fifty-two," Corey remarks to the book as he's finding Magpie's door in the Fernwood. "It was called the _Depths of Malice_, and it was about a man finding out he's come down with an incurable sickness of the soul that can only be staved off by the healing touch of his Daeusite cleric friend, Elian'side--"

Then Corey spots the door, and he smiles, sparing Albus Kinkade the second-worst torture of being a book (aside from having his spine cracked): not being able to walk away from someone's infodump. "Ah! There's Magpie's door!"

Corey approaches it and knocks. Thump-da-da-thump-thump, thump-thump!

"TWO COP," comes the immediate, though audibly annoyed, answer from the other side of the door. Followed shortly by the *thump* of something small hitting the floor on both feet, and the rhythmic stomping toward the door...

...then silence.

Then more stomping, followed by an impressive multilingual chain of swearing as something gets dragged beside the door, climbed, and *then* the doorknob turns, revealing an *incredibly* frowny-faced gnome lady, standing on a chair, on the outside of the door.

"...I fall too much if I just reach up," she grumbles, and green eyes flick over Corey's armor, pendant, then back up to his face, eyebrow rising. "...Okay is someone blaming me for blowing up a highway, too?"

Though the book - Malice of Infinity - had been rather loud during its abduction, it has largely fallen into silence since its rescue. However at the sound of Magpie's voice it perks up (as much as a book can... which is verbally only when a book can talk). "Magpie?!? Is that you dear? I've been abducted! Quick, pin this thief down and check him for a tail! Imps can't hide them you know!"

"Wh--" Corey is scandalized at the implication that he's a fiend, and also, that he's an imp. "If you're going to accuse me of being a fiend, at least pick a sexy fiend, like an incubus, or--"

He colors a little. "Nevermind. Anyway, hi Magpie. I'm Cor'ethil Cari'thana--remember, from the little Explorers' Guild mission to deal with that mage making the honey? And we tried to find little Debra?" That last fact is far too distressing to end on, so he adds, "And I shared all of my botanical facts about the area?"

Corey pulls out the book and hands it to Magpie with a smile. "Anyway, I caught the person responsible for stealing this fellow, and I rather thought you'd like him back. ... I think the person also blew up your room? A copy of the Tribune flew into my face earlier." It's the quickest way to receive the news, sometimes.

"PROFESSOR!" Magpie's entire face is altered by the sound of the book's voice, and leaps off the stool to plant a hug around Corey's neck. "I figured blowing up my room was cover for stealing him because he's the only book I have that isn't really *really* bad romance and if anyone important finds out I'm hanging onto him they'll probably stuff him back into Eluna's vaults and leave him there thank you thank you THANK YOU!"

Letting go of the paladin's neck, she snatches the book out of Corey's hand on the way down, giving the tome just as energetic a hug as she gave Corey. "Oh leave off, professor, would an imp *bring you back to me?* He's a paladin anyway, and I doubt an imp could keep his lunch at the *thought* of taking on a paladin's shape. Come in, come in, sit sit sit! I think I still have some Grenade Buns from the Goblintown bakery somewhere, and I *know* I've got tea somewhere -- don't just *stand* there Corey, come in! Mind the mess."

...The mess being a couple small stacks of books, organized -- if one could call it that -- by color, subject, *and* alphabetically, according to a system one can only guess at, next to waxed-parchment street food wrappers folded into various animals.

Clearly, Magpie has not yet had the time to make a true horror of the place, but efforts are ongoing.

As she rummages through her backpack for tea, cups, and kettle, she continues her chatter, voice growing more grumpy. "But can you beleive they're blaming *me* for that mess? I'm the *aggrieved* party! I'm not even *in* a department that would lead me to blowing stuff up! I'M NOT EVEN A STUDENT."

The book seems stymied by Magpie's reaction and soothed by being in her possession again because it leaves off the thought that Corey is an imp. Well mostly. "You could at least check him for a tail." The book mutters and then sighs. "Good to be with you again Magpie. I was horribly worried when I heard that your room was harmed. What if you had been in there?"

It's evident that the book has a certain amount of paternal affection for Magpie by its voice. "I'd let them have what's-for you know! I was a wizard of good standing! Before all this that is. I should anyway... but I don't want to end up on a shelf forgotten somewhere." A sigh.

"I promise that I do not have a tail." Corey goes into the room and closes the door behind him, taking a seat... somewhere. His twin sister would have a conniption at being in this room. Granted, the fact that Magpie managed to move everything she owns in such a short amount of time is actually rather impressive.

Cor'ethil watches Magpie work with a smile (getting hugged by anyone can put him in a good mood). Listening to Kinkade be aghast at the situation makes him smile even more, although the subject itself puts a little wrinkle into Cor'ethil's brow. "Kinkade's right. You really could have been hurt. I'm glad that we managed to save Kinkade..."

He remembers something. "Speaking of wizards. Magpie, do you know someone by the name of Frisgar? I met him. Older fellow who was coaxing the squirrels to him and offering butterscotch candies. He said he was a friend of Kinkade's and tried to help us."

Magpie pauses in her rummaging to look at the book next to her, then take it up and hug it tightly again. "Don't worry Professor, I still haven't given up, and I'm not gonna until someone makes me. We'll get you out of that thing someday, you'll see. And until then I will *not* let you be stuck on a dusty shelf in a vault."

With that, she returns to her searching, and mutters dire imprecations about the incident "If I'd've been there none of this would have happened!" Magpie protests, *thunking* a portable tea service onto the floor, followed by a jar of tea, and an alchemist's vial bandoleer full of... individual vials of sugar?

"There're self-defense provisions, I've read them all, and I can do a *lot* that won't hurt a room. Eardrums, sure, but not things! And if I can *turn a vampire into a weasel* I can definitely turn a thief into a slug or something." Opening a tiny bag hanging off the side of her backpack, she reaches in up to her shoulder, digs around for a moment, and rears back with a box the size of her torso made of thin wooden planks, with the design of a loaf of bread on fire burned into the top. "Grenade Buns," she says with satisfaction, toddling over to drop the box on the human-sized bed Corey is seated upon. "Spiced pork and gravy, they're great, have some! I'll just get to the tea. So... What even *happened* to get my room blown up? And will you be prepared to repeat it to a panel of coincounters?"

The book is humming lightly to itself in a pleased sort of way until Corey mentions a familiar name and then. "Oh yes. Poor Frisgar. Fiz was the best of us. Really was. I miss him dearly. Oh, Magpie, those sound delicious! Spiced pork? Ah, to be young again!"

"Well, we found a young man, who turned out to be possessed by a demon--I exorcised it out of him with my pendant of Gilead," Cor'ethil explains, taking a Grenade Bun and looking it over carefully before he thinks of having his first bite. He does. It's a taste he wasn't quite expecting, but then again, he doesn't know what he was expecting. "Mmm--"

And then he blinks.

"Umm." Corey looks at the book. "What do you mean, _was_? We met Frisgar. Bright as day. Very alive. He was talking to us. Don't tell me that he's dead and we met..."

Cor'ethil shakes his head, sighing. "Okay, let me back up. We were in the Arcanist Society's courtyard, where we met this old mage Frisgar who said he was old friends with Dremarin and Kinkade. Respectively, they were Fiz, Driz, and Kiz--Frisgar, Dremarin, and Kinkade. He appeared to know know what happened to his friends. Then there was this young man, who I detected great evil off of, so we followed, and it turned out he stole Kinkade--the book containing Kinkade, that is. He was the one who set fire to your room. We caught him, and I exorcised the demon, and now he's in holding with the proper authorities."

"...Hang on," Magpie says, setting the teakettle to heating entirely on its own. "You said Frisgar *helped* you, right? But... he's been gone at least a year, maybe two, Professor you *just said* you missed him. And Diz-- he's been missing for *months,* but he's a *really* respected planar-travel expert. Why even *would* he go missing if he didn't want to?"

Shaking her head, she pours out a pair of cups -- gnome-sized, sadly -- and hands both cups up to Corey. The reason for this is made clear, and she picks up Albus, and clambers up the side of the bed, plopping herself down on the other side of the box of buns from the paladin.

"...Okay so wait you *have the guy in custody.* He was possessed, but now he's *in custody* and his *name is known* and *WHAT IN THE FRAZGLEN XEL'LO'TATH GLR FTAGHN* AM I DOING BEING BLAMED."

"Now now Magpie. That's no way for a lady to talk!" Albus Kinkade says from his book. One can almost imagine him patting her on the hand gently to calm her. "Fiz died two months before our yearly meeting of old age. It's when I realized that I needed to really get moving on my book. I didn't want to die before I finished Malice of Infinity!" He sighs.

"I'm afraid I don't know what happened with Driz. He's a good man and I'm surprised to hear that anyone could get the upper hand on him. But then... Who am I to judge? I got myself stuck in a book." Kinkade sighs again. "Fiz must have some unfinished business. I hope he moves on soon."

Corey's a very pale sildanyari already. But if he could turn more pale... he would. As it stands, his silver eyes going wide are the only indication that he's-- "Did we meet a _ghost_?" he asks. It's his first time interacting with one that he can think of.

He looks at Magpie. "I don't know, but... It's not right, and I'd be happy to testify and try and fix this? Meanwhile, there's this whole mess with Fiz and Driz, and..."

Cor'ethil massages the side of his face, and he has a sip of his tea. "This is bizarre," he says. "I feel like I'm getting a migraine all over again just trying to think about it."

"I mean, probably?" Magpie says, lifting a shoulder. "But that's something for the Vardaman, especially if he passed of old age. They could probably help you have a word with him? And... it's not *that* convoluted. Fiz, Driz, and Kiz were pretty big names in the university before they settled down -- and you never told me you're *that* Kiz, Professor, I'm *gonna want stories now -- so whatever's going on probably has something to do with something they got up to back in the day. Kiz here *is* one of the school's big experts on diabolism, and with Fiz as a historian, and Driz as the planar-travel expert... I mean obviously it's demons, but it's probably demons. So Professor, how many upper-tier demons *did* you guys piss off as a group?"

At this, Magpie grins at the book, then pauses, blinks, and sucks in a big gasp of air.

...Apparently she forgot to breathe in during that entire spiel?

Growing red in the cheeks, she covers her embarrassment by opening the box and trying to stuff as much of one of the eight remaining buns -- each half the size of her head -- into her mouth as she can.

Kinkade makes a sniffing sound. "Total? I lost count. They are all written in my Compellation of the Eternal." He sounds rather pleased with himself all told. "Back in my day, we would travel right to the Abyss, pick a fight, trap a fiend in one of Fiz's gems and I would write all their information down. THOSE were the days. If not for that infernal V... Well. The fiend is gone now so I suppose that's enough."

There's a pause from the book. "Now, sir Cor'ethil, being that you're a knight and all that, might I ask you to look after Fiz for me? Take a Mourner to him?" The request is very politely asked.

"Holy shit," Cor'ethil says simply as he looks at the book, wide-eyed. He sits up a little straighter. "You... Would go and pick a fight with anyone you could find? And that's how you documented all of those demons? That's..."

Cor'ethil knows several languages. He is struggling to find a word. "Audacious," he settles in Sylvan. "I think that's right word. I don't immediately know its equivalent in Trade." He blushes a little before nodding.

"I can find a Mourner. Actually, I think I know one... One of the Lupecyll-Atlons? I think? I've heard there's a Mourner." He looks thoughtful. "I'd volunteer my twin, but An probably shouldn't go anywhere near a wizard who's an expert in demon-bothering. She'd talk his ear off with questions before she ever actually got to the part of... Sending him along."

"'Audacious,'" Magpie says absently. "And yeah that's a good word for it! Because Kiz here *is* pretty great, and right now it's my life's mission to get this bad boy out of his book and into a body everyone -- including the Guild and the city -- can live with."

Monching on her lunch, she looks up at Corey, tilting her head. "You have a sister? And she's... *into* diabolism, or into *diabolism?* Cos I mean if the Professor's willing, you could probably bribe her for something with a two-hour interview. It'll definitely be more interesting than the two of us reading bad romance and critiquing the writing! ...Which I was worried I'd never get the chance to do anymore. Seriously, thanks a lot, Corey. If the Professor fell into the wrong hands it might be bad for the world, but I'd also lose my *friend,* y'know?"

"Ah, you are too kind as always Magpie." The gruff old wizard sounds a little teary-eyed though he has neither tears nor eyes. "So long as it sees Fiz off, I could do an interview or something myself. I don't mind and I hardly have anything better to do. No offense meant Magpie dear."

There's a moment of quiet and then. "If the others were around I'd ask them to make you an honorary member of our group lass. Goodness knows you've the heart for it! You could be Miz and bring misery to fiends everywhere."

"I actually have two sisters," Corey admits a little bashfully. "My oldest sister, Lala, is... She's exceedingly talented, but she can't be bothered to anchor her talent to anything. I guess that comes with being the 'princess' of the household." He chuckles affectionately. "She mostly just helps my father with the family rookery. She loves taking care of all of the ravens. My twin sister, Ansír--the one who'd love to have a long interview--she's a scholar that specializes in the dual use of arcane and divine magic. She's also got a scholarly interest in things that might be considered taboo--like necromancy, demons, the like."

He sighs. "She would never _summon_ a demon, of course, but she believes having the knowledge is not a bad thing. It is actually critical to understanding how someone might, and how to stop someone who might. ... She also flirted with the Archmage Lupecyll-Atlon's sister-by-bond, Auranar, and now she won't stop asking me to scope out libraries for her to visit. Even though Auranar's a married woman."

Cor'ethil rubs his forehead again. "Which is all to say... I understand, Magpie. An knows a lot. If someone stuck her in a book and stole her, it'd be catastrophic. But... that's also my sister. My world would definitely be rocked if she were to disappear." He smiles warmly at Magpie. "Let me go talk to someone and get a Mourner for poor Fiz. Even if it ends up being my sister."

"Awwww..." The invitation to the 'iz' club brings tears to Magpie's eyes as well, and she tries to give the book yet another hug, without getting fire-pepper-gravy stains all over the cover. It really is a feat of manual dexterity that she manages it, even more so by how she has to use her feet to put the book back at her side... getting gravy all over the blankets, of course.

"She sounds like an absolute headache and I would *love* to meet her sometime," the gnome says brightly. "Because people say that about me a lot too! And anyone who thinks Auranar's flirting material -- wedding ring notwithstanding, I would *not* want to see what her wife would have to say about that -- has good taste too, so she's got that going for her! But yeah... definitely go talk to the Mourners. And when you're done, let me know? I want you there when I start yelling at old people who might take it personally. And nobody takes things personally like wizards in academia."

Albus makes a muffled noise, but otherwise says nothing for a long moment until the subject changes to Corey's sister. "See! That's what I've been saying for years! With the right knowledge we can identify fiends and know what they're up to before they become a problem! I never meant my book to be used to *summon* the blasted things, but if you don't know how then how do you know if you're looking at a summoning circle for one fiend and not another???" He harumphs.

"Knowledge is power, and power can be misused a number of ways," Cor'ethil says with a grin. "Maybe I will bring her by. I get the impression that you need more friends. Both of you."

The Warden of Gilead finishes his cup of tea and sets it down. "I'd like to stay and chat, but it sounds like I've got a twin--and maybe another Mourner--to talk to. Magpie, if you ever want to chat... About _anything_, not just adventurer business, please come find me? I'm usually hanging around at the Temple of Gilead or in the marketplace." He flushes a little. "Karasu and I are getting married, and it seems like we need more and more things every day for the wedding."

"See that's what *I'm* saying! And maybe the rules are stupid but they happen because of the *really dumb* people so, like, if we want *smart* rules we need to figure out how to take the dumb out of the *wizards*-- wait."

A diatribe that the pair of them have probably rehearsed countless times is cut right off. "You're getting married? You need things?! DO YOU NEED AN ILLUSIONIST?! I COULD HELP MAKE YOUR WEDDING AMAZING! *AND* HELP CATER!"

...Oh no.

Volunteering himself to be Magpie's friend... might have some drawbacks.

*Title: The Good, The Bad, and the Alchemy

*GM: Telamon

*Characters: [[Lani'kua]], [[Bryn]], and [[Vex]]</div>

Shining Chalice Meetinghouse, midday

The meeting house of the Shining Chalice is a well-kept building on the border between the University district and the noble quarter. The only signs of its unique nature -- a place for sorcerers to meet and exchange ideas -- are the silver chalice emblem emblazoned out front, and the softly-glowing mage-lights at the door.

You are welcomed at the door by a servant, and escorted to one of the parlors within. The decor is expensive, befitting nobility, with magical wall-sconces and thickly upholstered chairs. Waiting for you is the Lord Archmage, Telamon Lupecyll-Atlon, his expression a mix of wryness and irritation -- not directed at you, but for this task.

"The 'Dark Platinum Wizard Gang'... and dear gods, I cannot believe I am saying that with a straight face..." Telamon takes a deep breath. "They are something of a minor nuisance, usually. A small group of magically-inclined ne'er-do-wells, confining their criminal activity to petty actions. They've avoided the Arcanists' dungeon simply by dint of being too small to bother with, and to be honest the Chalice and the Arcanists have had much more serious threats to corral."

"However, it seems their brushes with the law have simply not been enough to dissuade them." Telamon picks up a couple of papers. "It seems some of them have once again begun compounding and selling magical potions and elixirs of questionable efficacy." He makes a face. "It's a shame they don't apply themselves and actually try to go into legitimate business. Their last venture involved a fascinating bit of artifice that was filtering magical pollutants out of the sewers." Tel shrugs. "Wisdom will chase people, but they will always run faster."

Telamon clears his throat. "The city council, as well as the Chalice and the Arcanists, wish this enterprise shut down. We would prefer you take as many members of the gang into custody, as well as their accomplices if any. So far, none of their actions have risen to high crimes. I would prefer they have the opportunity to repent and find a better path."

Vex is new to these confines and the way she slowly pans her faceplate around to see the sights as she is lead through to the meeting does nothing to betray the curiosity she has as she absorbs the new data and stimulus from the location and information that is sure to come with the experience. Her long graceful steps seemingly exagerrated and slow by virtue of her leg construction as the metal of her braids chimes softly against each other until she comes to a rest and it stills quickly.

"Apples." She says softly in the hollow resonant echo of her voice matrix when she recognizes who the speaker is, the mask unmoving with the words which probably explains the echoey bit as it originates somewhere behind it. She otherwise absorbs the information and gives a brief nod, observing Telamon and the others. Her gold and pearl eyes don't blink, but they do dim slightly in something resembling a blink, or if she had closed them briefly, but lets the other two speak before offering anything further than the name of a fruit.

"Ey blondie," Bryn greets the somehwat-familiar Archmage Telamon Lupecyll-Atlon perhaps a bit to casually and/or familiarly. Followed by a whistle as she eyes the place. "Pretty." Then she listens to the situation.

A tusky smirk grows on her face. "So, big name, li'l problems? Pretty sure we can show 'em the err of their ways. Right?" She then looks over to others who have entered.

City life is *endlessly fascinating* to Lani'kua. Take, for example, the sheer variety of people one might find oneself walking next to! Or the insane scale of *house* they might lead one into or--

"...Forgive me," the hooded half-oruch says in answer to Telamon. "You're saying there are wizards -- young wizards, yet -- who seek to misuse the gifts they've worked so hard to attain. ...And currently, their chosen form of sacrilege... is snake oil."

The Elunan's jaw works, as she sucks on a tooth in thought. Such a dichotomy, this land... the wondrous matched with the *stunningly* petty.

Auranar has left.

Vex's attention drifts towards Bryn then and another single soft word sounds, or rather, a sound. Like that of a champaign cork or a wine bottle cork being popped free from its bottle... not the best approximation, but not bad either. She nods her head faintly and turns her attention to Lani'kua who gets studied a bit longer than Telamon or Bryn did. Maybe it's because Lani is almost as tall as she is which is fairly unusual in her experience, or she's just thorough. Her attention shifts back to Telamon and when she speaks again it is louder:

"It is the nature of organic life to strive for their goals. They do not always take the wisest path available to them. Sometimes out of necessity. Sometimes out of fear. Sometimes out of greed. Or many other emotions. Emotions are difficult to fathom and understand. As are desires. It sounds that these individuals need to be properly disciplined and educated since their freedoms impinge upon the well being of others."

Telamon quirks an eyebrow at Vex, bemused at the non-sequitur. But he offers Bryn a fierce (if less tusky) smile of his own. "That's a good summary. They're no Charnethi necromancer -- thankfully -- but this sort of thing happens." He rubs the bridge of his nose. "And people keep asking me why I teach ethics."

Telamon nods a bit sourly to Lani. "Well... not exactly snake oil. The problem is that the potions are sub-standard, and often masquerading as established craft. There's also been an uptick in these potions winding up in the hands of various criminal elements here, which is something the city guard does -not- need. A potion of invisibility that only works for thirty seconds is still thirty seconds of being unseen."

He picks up another paper, on which is scribed an address in his characteristic neat handwriting. "My apprentice actually encountered one of the gang, and managed to inveigle the location of their little operation out of them." His lips quirk. "Dangerous, but the boy does -not- lack courage. I would appreciate it if you went there, and ensured the gang cannot churn out any more elixirs -- preferably before their quality control gets better."

Bryn looks to Vex and rolls a shoulder. "People gotta do what they gotta do. I get it..." Then on to the half-oruch to shrug the other one. "Folks with power do that lots. Least that I know of." Then she pans her eye back to Telamon. "But there's lotsa ways they can do that stuff. They ain't picked the best way." A snort. "Least not good 'nuff to NOT get caught so quick."

"Well," Lani says around a sigh, "I suppose we'd best get to it. With luck, we can show them the error of their ways."

Lifting her shoulders, she spreads her hands. "Very well, Master Lupecyll-Atlon... Best we get on our way then. Though I have to ask... is there a likelihood of these criminal customers being present, and sniffing about their wares?"

After all, if adventurers have to do a murder in front of the very brats they're out to capture... That might make things difficult.

"Or, perhaps, learn their dilution process. Being able to make two potions for the price of one at half effectiveness of each could be very beneficial for the commonfolk." Vex muses softly, her dragonbone clawed fingertips lightly clicking against the plate of her palm one hand, then the next, then reverse in sequence as if timing her internal calculations. "I have no desire to end someone's existence for petty crime, I will only do so as a last resort to save the life of one of my companions, an innocent, or myself. Is there any information on numbers and threats? Also, I am curious if their technique to make platinum dark would work on dragonbone."

Vex agrees with the terms of the 'mission' falling silent to let the other two continue to work out particulars beyond what she's asked while giving a nod to Bryn at her comment of people doing what they gotta do. Then she introduces herself, "I was designated as Vex." If no one else reaches for the address, Vex will take it, hoping Telamon has more info than blindly walking into the enemies den.

Bryn starts to reach out a hand for the adfress then pulls it back to wave at the others. "I know maybe three places in this city. Prolly better somebody't knows better here guide us to the place. Point me in the right direction, though! I'm ready!"

"As I said, I would prefer everyone be taken into custody -- particularly the members of the gang. I cannot rule out criminal elements there as well." Telamon heaves a sigh. "But I won't bar you from defending yourselves, either. If they are smart enough to surrender, that would please me."

He passes the address to Vex, a warehouse in the Docks district. There are some notes -- two members of the gang itself, plus a variable number of 'customers' and security. One sentence is underlined: 'Potion brewing operation is not stable! Be careful!'.

Vex takes the adress and the information, reads it, and passes it to the others so they can also read for themselves. "I believe I know the general layout of the area. I have been to the docks on several occasions since my arrival to the city. Before we depart, or as we traverse to our destination, perhaps we should discuss how we intend to approach this, and what capabilities we have? My construction imbues me with some small amount of channeled magic effects, similar to spells. I have ready access to some offensive, defensive, and disabling magics. When we get closer to the docks, if you wish to know particulars, I will provide whatever information best assists us in our goal to keep innocents and ourselves safe in subduing these criminal elements for proper restitution for their crimes."

"Great!" Bryn doesn't expound whether she is pleased that Vex took the note, that Vex knows where they're going, or that Vex has access to magic. "Ye! Can plan on the way!" Could be that, too. "I can do a li'l magic. Nothin all Archie Magey-like, course..." A nod at Telamon. "Can always toss 'em over my shoulder, if need be. Since we ain't planning on bashin skulls. Much." Since they're planning to walk and talk, she adds walk to her talk.

"Lani'kua," says the half-oruch, "Silverguard. I may not boast much in the way of magical might, but, I do have extensive training in arcane theory, and it's a dim, but present, hope that the Temple's authority might put greater weight behind our words."

Falling into step next to Bryn, she cannot help but look back to Vex now and again.

"...I'm sorry," she says after a couple blocks. "And I beg your forgiveness if I come across as rude, but... How did a being such as you come to be?"

The walk to the Docks is without incident, aided by the rain that splatters down from a stormy dark sky. It chases people indoors, and thus your passing goes unnoted. Soon enough, you arrive at the warehouse in question. A roll of thunder overhead, to punctuate your errand. The warehouse is built of stout, tarred wood -- possibly sourced from a ship broken down for lumber. Circling it, there are two doors -- one at the front, and one at the back.

"I was created during the period that is commonly called the Crown Wars, by a now deceased mage, as an assistant in their experiments. There was several prior models, prototypes, commissioned for my creator prior to my construction. I was the last model he commissioned as I suited his purposes." Vex explains in her hollow echo of a voice to Lani'kua on their way down to the docks, "And, may I ask by which you would prefer to be called?" She asks Bryn, "The only sound I have associated with you so far is:" The sound of a wine cork again.

Then they are coming upon the warehouse and she will indicate which one it is and Vex will opine after their initial observations, "If possible, perhaps we should approach through all points of entry, or, try to restrict which are usable before we enter. Going in separate does reduce the risk of us all being disabled by a single spell at the very least but makes us more vulnerable to being individually overwhelmed."

"Oh!" She didn't introduce herself. "Brynhildragar, but Bryn's easier ta yell out in the heat o' things. The Crown Wars?! Weren't that like thousands a years ago?" She gives Vex a much longer look, now.

For better or worse, her eyeing is cut off when they reach the warehouse. "So.. go in from all sides?" her energy is still there, though her volume is now lower. "Sounds like a plan ta me. Harder for any ta sneak out the back, neither."

"Utterly fascinating," Lani marvels at Vex's story. "My condolences for their passing, but still... Incredible even as a concept, let alone reality." With a quiet laugh, the paladin shakes her head, then grows much more businesslike as a plan is laid out. "I'd agree," she says, "and if you'll allow, I shall announce myself at the front door. Either the commotion will give the two of you time and space to slip in, or they'll run right into you on their way out."

"Less than a hundred, Brynhildragar." Vex clarifies, "The crown wars had not yet become the sorceress wars by the point of my construction. Though, it is approaching a full century." She considers, "Do we wish to attempt to parlay before violence? Perhaps we should see if we can block retreat first, before we enter. We are not in the gravest of rushes, I believe and we should not put our own safety as a lesser goal than arresting some minor malcontents."

GAME: Vex rolls perception: (17)+9: 26

"Oh." She is corrected on the time, though was only a -little- off. "If'n we can talk 'em out, all the better," Bryn agrees. "Used ta bashin heads, but that ain't always the only way." Besides, maybe the other folks'll choose violence, anyhow. Who knows? "Right. Block 'em in sounds good, too." Looks even better, since Vex spies something they can use to block it off and is still easier enough for an oruch or two to wrestle into position. After that, she looks to Lani. "You wanna announce yerself, now? Maybe they come out all nice. However they come out, least we know where they'll come out, eh?"

After the wagon gets moved, Vex notes, "It is a place of business. We should get in out of this weather I believe. It would be more comfortable for all involved."

GAME: Vex casts Mage Armor. Caster Level: 5 DC: 15

The door to the warehouse is unlocked, though a chain and lock can be seen tucked away inside. Evidently when no one's here, they lock up -- courteous of them.

Inside it's dimly lit, with tall walls of crates around you. The crates are neatly stacked and ordered, but further in, you can hear voices raised in argument around one side of the aisles.

"...No. Not just no, but -hells- no. Did we or did we not have this conversation two days ago when you wanted to speed up production? And you didn't listen! What happened?"

A long pause. Then the same voice. "Yeah. We had three lots we had to dump down into the sewers because they were inert. Stick to bullying people, it's what you're best at."

A harsh, very oruch voice responds, "Why you--"

"Ah ah ah! Don't mess with us. You'll never see the Dark Platinum hittin' your pillow."

A third voice, "That's a lame threat, you know."

Just before entering into the warehouse, Vex holds up her left hand and traces a strange sigil in the air and says a single word in draconic, a minor word of power, but a word of power none-the-less. As she does so runes and sigils carved into her dragonbone glow brightly a moment, then fade, back into the carvings of her dragonbone chassis. She nods to the others, and follows their lead.

With the back door blocked off, and their entrance gone unheeded, Lani looks to the others, raising an eyebrow. With a shrug, the lanky oruch seems to decide that the initial plan is still good enough to go with, and unlimbers her bow, nocking an arrow and stepping forward. "I'm afraid you've got bigger worries to contend with," she says, projecting her voice as far as paladin training and oruch blood allows for. "In the name of the Explorer's Guild and the Temple of Eluna, we're charged with apprehending the... Dark Platinum Wizard Gang -- seriously, *that* was the best you had? -- and bringing them to the Guard. ...Alive. Bring them to the Guard *alive.* That goes for any associates, I'm afraid, so... how about you stop what you're doing and take a knee?"

Tilting her head to one side, then the other, she smiles as winningly as her tusks allow. "Be rather upsetting if this had to get bloody, after all, wouldn't it?"

Bryn moves in with Lani, standing beside her with a big, tusky grin. She doesn't say anything just yet so she doesn't tromp on the directive-giving. Well, mostly. She can't stop a snicker at the part about Dark Platinum Wizard Gang.

The trio step into the warehouse, and Lani issues her challenge as she steps around the wall of crates.

In the center there are four rather rough-looking fellows -- two humans, and two half-orcs. Evidently you've interrupted a discussion (of sorts) between them, and two young weedy looking fellows in robes dyed with eye-searing hues. The two wizards stand in front of a complex alchemical apparatus, and evidently there was a face-down between the criminals and the magicians.

Which comes to a halt as Lani challenges them, and the bigger half-orc roars, "Adventurers! GETTUM!"

Looks like they chose violence... but Bryn double-checks. She pulls the rather large, curved blade from her back. "Ye sure ye boys wanna dance?" If they do, then there should be music or singing to accompany! A sword doesn't make the best music, so the oruchess goes with the latter, beginning to belt out in a heady contralto, "They pickin a fight, we'll do 'em up right! Jab 'em fulla holes, bash 'em inna skulls!"

Vex doesn't move past her more martial and physically imposing companions, she traces a symbol in the air that Bryn, at least, has seen her use before. She speaks a single word in draconic and then the area amidst the vast majority of the thugs and wizards explodes in gold and silver dust in a brilliant flash, clinging /everywhere/ and blinding them so. "I do not wish to harm you, but, if you do not surrender now, you give me no choice but to use potentially lethal force." Her serene and soft voice transmits louder with an echo trying to carry past Bryn's song.

There are a string of curses as three of the four thugs, as well as the two wizards, are blinded. One of the thugs, a slight-looking human female, backs up around one of the crates, rubbing in frustration at her face to try and get the sparkles out. Her other hand dips down to her belt, pulling a vial free which she uncaps and drinks hurriedly.

The half-orc who wasn't hit with the glitter snarls, yanking a heavy axe from his back. "Not bad. Now it's our turn!" He charges towards the paladin, feinting with the haft before swinging the axe around and slamming it viciously into Lani!

The greataxe crashes against Lani's breastplate, the force of the blow causing the paladin to turn in place... But then she glares at her attacker from under her hood, her grin turning hard. "...And now it's *my* turn," she says, slipping back a pace. "And as the Seer's eye falls upon your darkened heart, She shall rejoice to see your evil works undone."

As she recites her invocation, it's as if the ceiling, for a brief moment, simply wasn't there. Nor the clouds, and the rain, and a brilliant, silvery shaft of moonlight illuminates the axe-wielding thug. Lani draws back the string of her bown, sighting down on the criminal's kneecap. "And your defeat shall be a sacred gift to Her!"

The arrow is loosed.

It clatters against the ground next to the thug's foot.

Lani looks up, lifts a shoulder. "I mean I wasn't *lying...*"

"Are they?" Vex wonders aloud as she drifts behind Bryn with a light pat on her shoulder, "You have him right where you want him." She tells both the Oruch and then getting to the crate, moves up to where she can get a clear field. Cuz that's /exactly/ where you want to be as a sorcerer. Where everyone can target you and shoot you without cover, but, it also gives you a good view of the battlefield.

"You may be correct. I would not know. I am not a wizard." Vex says to the great axe wielding thug and she points one hand at him, dragonclaw talons spread, and then quickly traces another sigil while intoning in draconic again. The fact that she displays no emotion at all makes it somewhat creepy when a burst of color comes out, washing over the two thugs, but one is already blinded and thus, can't see it. The one who doesn't like wizards though.... well.

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d100: (9): 9

Bryn's rousing lyrics continue and/or repeat. While she does have a powerful voice and is on key, her lyrics may not be the most ... elaborate. After seeing Lani get hit, she does interject a "Get farked!" at hatchet as she steps up to take a swing at him. A swing that doesn't come near enough. Maybe she was trying too hard to hit softly... or too hardly.

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d20+1: (18)+1: 19

The hooded thug curses loudly again, pulling another vial from her belt as well as her dagger. She tries to tip the vial's contents over the dagger, but fumbles it, the glass bottle falling to the floor and breaking, wasting its content. Finally the sparkles are wiped from her eyes. "We gotta get outta here, guys!"

The rangy half-orc snarls as Bryn jabs at him, fending off the strike with his greataxe. "Oh, you want some too, missy?" He whirls, coming around with his greataxe and slamming it into Bryn next, another deep wound. "I gots enough for ALL of you!"

As Bryn darts in to occupy the thug's attention -- and axe -- Lani nocks another arrow, taking a few calming breaths. Bringing the bow up, she sights in on the thug's leg, waits for an opportune moment... And snarls, as the arrow hisses through the space his leg *was,* and bounces again off the floor. "I think," she says gravely, "that this is a sign. A very unfortunate one, for you lot."

"I think that sounds like a great idea!" One of the magicians yells to the hooded thug. Suddenly both wizards are beating feet for the back wall and the door there. "Legalize meteor swarms!" they yell, as they dart behind crates, approaching the door. The door they don't know is blocked. That door.

Bryn's belting catches a momentary hitch when Hatched decides to bury it. 'It' being his greataxe and the burying being into Bryn. Her lyrics hence gain a bit of extra vibrato from the blood, but her spirit isn't dampened at all. "Ha!" She spits a bit of that at him. "Ye hit like a whelp!" With that, she returns the favor, this time her blade finding him and slicing deep. "Blood for blood!"

Seeing that Bryn is under assault, and things are in danger of getting out of hand, the serene mask of Vex looks at the guisarme wielder and then ignores him. She steps towards the north, the man's guisarm clanging off her dragonbone chassis and tweaking some of the sensitive gears and such underneath and then continues on as if it were nothing, though, she was clearly damaged. She cants a quick brief word in draconic, the molten gold in her eyes flares brilliantly and she launches three flaming spears of energy the great axe wielder Bryn was engaged with and they slam into him with burning sizzles as they puncture flesh and vital organs:

"Observe. One of your crew is now inanimate. The door will not lead you to safety. Surrender. Now."

Vex looks at the wizard gang members, and then flicks her gaze at the hood as she approaches. Still. Expressionless. Like a creepy dragonbone combat doll of sorcerous destruction.

The hooded rogue comes sprinting after the wizards. "Wait for me, damn it -- holy shit!" she screams as Vex turns and fires a trio of fiery darts into the vicious axe-wielding half orc. "You wind-up FREAK!" The dagger's in her hand, and she drives it at Vex's faceplate, only to miss.

Reaching out, Lani's hand shimmers with moonlight as she rests it on Bryn's shoulder. While the healing isn't terribly *strong,* it does at least provide some relief and still the bleeding from the terrible wound the bard took. "See to our friend up there," she says, her voice serious and encouraging.

Then she looks up to the pair of thugs still in the middle of the room; ine insensate, and one very much not. "I'll handle this one."

The bow clatters to the floor, and the orc draws a steel ring, lined with a trio of large, sharp crescent moons. Her step is easy, almost casual, as she advances on the human. "I want you to remember," she says, "we offered you a chance to end this without blood. *You* denied us."

The wizards stare at Vex in confusion, and then one extends his forefinger and pinky in response. "Dark Platinum Wizard Gang! We love casting spells!" Then the two of them try to open the door and... it doesn't open. "What the f..." "It's not opening. Like there's something stuck in front of it." One of the wizards yells at the hooded thug attacking Vex, "Help us open this thing!"

Meanwhile, the guisarme-armed warrior drops his polearm as Lani approaches, whipping out a longsword. A quick thrust draws blood, though it's a relatively minor wound compared to the painful hit from the axe-wielding half-orc. "Oh no you don't, you're not taking ME back in chains!"

And down goes Hatchet, by fiery bolts of doom. "Ha!" Bryn looses a hand form her falchion long enough to make a gesture, then moves up to stand with Lani once more. "Back atcha!" She gives the halfsy firm affirming slap that also dumps a bit of magic into her of the helpful variety. "Yer runnin outta meatshields!" That's called out to the mighty Copper Apprentice Cowder.

As the wizardgang calls out for the hood to help them after she tries to stab Vex in the face, which misses, badly, deflected by a flare of arcane energy from a brief glowing image of her own personal wards, Vex steps back lifts a hand, again intones another well, more familiar these days, incantantion, and sends a blast of color at at the trio. The wizards are a little canny and are able to avoid the spray, but hood... hood crumples to the ground unconscious. Vex starts to turn and says again, "You have until I return to surrender, or, we will not be so lenient." Does she mean it? Really? It's so hard to say with one of those War Golems!

"You go back in chains," Lani says, eyes hard, "or you go to the Mountain in a cart. Choose *swiftly,* for every second you refuse is another second where the chains stop being an option for you."

Pausing as Bryn returns the favor, she tosses a grateful look over her shoulder, then lunges out, the tines of her starknife tearing through the air... but not finding purchase in flesh.

"Duck and cover!" Evidently the wizards aren't unfamiliar with these spells, both ducking away as the color spray goes off. Then they look up, and see... the rogue unconscious on the floor. "Aw, shit. Did you bring...?" "No, I had to leave it behind, remember?" "Shit." They both look at Vex, and then sigh... sitting down with their backs to the door, hands visible.

"Your companions have surrendered or been rendered ineffective. You fall alone at this point. None shall rescue you." Vex says to Rook as she wanders almost casually over to the downed half-oruch and kicks the great axe away to the north of her to clatter against one of the crates. She kneels down and starts the process of trussing up the stunned half-oruch like everything else is just, done, forgone, no use even needing to help put the still standing half-oruch down.

"I would listen to the lady if I were you," Lani says almost conversationally, circling around... and reeling slightly as the thug's sword flashes out, drawing a deep, bloody furrow in her cheek. Grinning, she reaches up to the cut, fingers shimmering as she runs them down its length... and what was just moments ago a grievous wound, is now a thin, angry pink line.

"*My* turn."

And the starknife flashes out again, slicing at the criminal's ribs.

As the wizgangers sit there quietly, the sword-wielding thug slashes at Lani'kua as she goes past. "We can handle this, Krod, just-- oh what the fuck?!" The man's eyes bug out as he sees his companion getting trussed up like a turkey, still drooling. Then the man screams in pain as Lani's starknife sinks into him.

Something breaks, and he drops his sword. "Alright! Alright! Quarter, damn you, quarter!" He holds his hands up, bleeding heavily.

With the last thug's surrender, you are able to secure the surviving three thugs, as well as the two gang members. Getting them out is a bit of a chore, but manageable, especially as you're able to flag down a watch patrol not long after and get some additional hands.

Telamon meets you at the precinct office, looking pleased. "Well done, well done. It looks like it was rough, but you won out. I wouldn't mind 'independent entrepreneurs' so much, but they give every magician a bad name when they run around being little more than scoundrels." He gives the two gangers in particular a flinty stare, before ushering you away.

"Now, why don't we adjourn to the temples first, get those injuries looked at. And then, perhaps drinks at the TarRaCe? They have the most marvelous autumn cider laid in..."

*Characters: [[Lani'kua]], [[Bryn]], and [[Vex]]

Shining Chalice Meetinghouse, midday

The meeting house of the Shining Chalice is a well-kept building on the border between the University district and the noble quarter. The only signs of its unique nature -- a place for sorcerers to meet and exchange ideas -- are the silver chalice emblem emblazoned out front, and the softly-glowing mage-lights at the door.

You are welcomed at the door by a servant, and escorted to one of the parlors within. The decor is expensive, befitting nobility, with magical wall-sconces and thickly upholstered chairs. Waiting for you is the Lord Archmage, Telamon Lupecyll-Atlon, his expression a mix of wryness and irritation -- not directed at you, but for this task.

"The 'Dark Platinum Wizard Gang'... and dear gods, I cannot believe I am saying that with a straight face..." Telamon takes a deep breath. "They are something of a minor nuisance, usually. A small group of magically-inclined ne'er-do-wells, confining their criminal activity to petty actions. They've avoided the Arcanists' dungeon simply by dint of being too small to bother with, and to be honest the Chalice and the Arcanists have had much more serious threats to corral."

"However, it seems their brushes with the law have simply not been enough to dissuade them." Telamon picks up a couple of papers. "It seems some of them have once again begun compounding and selling magical potions and elixirs of questionable efficacy." He makes a face. "It's a shame they don't apply themselves and actually try to go into legitimate business. Their last venture involved a fascinating bit of artifice that was filtering magical pollutants out of the sewers." Tel shrugs. "Wisdom will chase people, but they will always run faster."

Telamon clears his throat. "The city council, as well as the Chalice and the Arcanists, wish this enterprise shut down. We would prefer you take as many members of the gang into custody, as well as their accomplices if any. So far, none of their actions have risen to high crimes. I would prefer they have the opportunity to repent and find a better path."

Vex is new to these confines and the way she slowly pans her faceplate around to see the sights as she is lead through to the meeting does nothing to betray the curiosity she has as she absorbs the new data and stimulus from the location and information that is sure to come with the experience. Her long graceful steps seemingly exagerrated and slow by virtue of her leg construction as the metal of her braids chimes softly against each other until she comes to a rest and it stills quickly.

"Apples." She says softly in the hollow resonant echo of her voice matrix when she recognizes who the speaker is, the mask unmoving with the words which probably explains the echoey bit as it originates somewhere behind it. She otherwise absorbs the information and gives a brief nod, observing Telamon and the others. Her gold and pearl eyes don't blink, but they do dim slightly in something resembling a blink, or if she had closed them briefly, but lets the other two speak before offering anything further than the name of a fruit.

"Ey blondie," Bryn greets the somehwat-familiar Archmage Telamon Lupecyll-Atlon perhaps a bit to casually and/or familiarly. Followed by a whistle as she eyes the place. "Pretty." Then she listens to the situation.

A tusky smirk grows on her face. "So, big name, li'l problems? Pretty sure we can show 'em the err of their ways. Right?" She then looks over to others who have entered.

City life is *endlessly fascinating* to Lani'kua. Take, for example, the sheer variety of people one might find oneself walking next to! Or the insane scale of *house* they might lead one into or--

"...Forgive me," the hooded half-oruch says in answer to Telamon. "You're saying there are wizards -- young wizards, yet -- who seek to misuse the gifts they've worked so hard to attain. ...And currently, their chosen form of sacrilege... is snake oil."

The Elunan's jaw works, as she sucks on a tooth in thought. Such a dichotomy, this land... the wondrous matched with the *stunningly* petty.

Auranar has left.

Vex's attention drifts towards Bryn then and another single soft word sounds, or rather, a sound. Like that of a champaign cork or a wine bottle cork being popped free from its bottle... not the best approximation, but not bad either. She nods her head faintly and turns her attention to Lani'kua who gets studied a bit longer than Telamon or Bryn did. Maybe it's because Lani is almost as tall as she is which is fairly unusual in her experience, or she's just thorough. Her attention shifts back to Telamon and when she speaks again it is louder:

"It is the nature of organic life to strive for their goals. They do not always take the wisest path available to them. Sometimes out of necessity. Sometimes out of fear. Sometimes out of greed. Or many other emotions. Emotions are difficult to fathom and understand. As are desires. It sounds that these individuals need to be properly disciplined and educated since their freedoms impinge upon the well being of others."

Telamon quirks an eyebrow at Vex, bemused at the non-sequitur. But he offers Bryn a fierce (if less tusky) smile of his own. "That's a good summary. They're no Charnethi necromancer -- thankfully -- but this sort of thing happens." He rubs the bridge of his nose. "And people keep asking me why I teach ethics."

Telamon nods a bit sourly to Lani. "Well... not exactly snake oil. The problem is that the potions are sub-standard, and often masquerading as established craft. There's also been an uptick in these potions winding up in the hands of various criminal elements here, which is something the city guard does -not- need. A potion of invisibility that only works for thirty seconds is still thirty seconds of being unseen."

He picks up another paper, on which is scribed an address in his characteristic neat handwriting. "My apprentice actually encountered one of the gang, and managed to inveigle the location of their little operation out of them." His lips quirk. "Dangerous, but the boy does -not- lack courage. I would appreciate it if you went there, and ensured the gang cannot churn out any more elixirs -- preferably before their quality control gets better."

Bryn looks to Vex and rolls a shoulder. "People gotta do what they gotta do. I get it..." Then on to the half-oruch to shrug the other one. "Folks with power do that lots. Least that I know of." Then she pans her eye back to Telamon. "But there's lotsa ways they can do that stuff. They ain't picked the best way." A snort. "Least not good 'nuff to NOT get caught so quick."

"Well," Lani says around a sigh, "I suppose we'd best get to it. With luck, we can show them the error of their ways."

Lifting her shoulders, she spreads her hands. "Very well, Master Lupecyll-Atlon... Best we get on our way then. Though I have to ask... is there a likelihood of these criminal customers being present, and sniffing about their wares?"

After all, if adventurers have to do a murder in front of the very brats they're out to capture... That might make things difficult.

"Or, perhaps, learn their dilution process. Being able to make two potions for the price of one at half effectiveness of each could be very beneficial for the commonfolk." Vex muses softly, her dragonbone clawed fingertips lightly clicking against the plate of her palm one hand, then the next, then reverse in sequence as if timing her internal calculations. "I have no desire to end someone's existence for petty crime, I will only do so as a last resort to save the life of one of my companions, an innocent, or myself. Is there any information on numbers and threats? Also, I am curious if their technique to make platinum dark would work on dragonbone."

Vex agrees with the terms of the 'mission' falling silent to let the other two continue to work out particulars beyond what she's asked while giving a nod to Bryn at her comment of people doing what they gotta do. Then she introduces herself, "I was designated as Vex." If no one else reaches for the address, Vex will take it, hoping Telamon has more info than blindly walking into the enemies den.

Bryn starts to reach out a hand for the adfress then pulls it back to wave at the others. "I know maybe three places in this city. Prolly better somebody't knows better here guide us to the place. Point me in the right direction, though! I'm ready!"

"As I said, I would prefer everyone be taken into custody -- particularly the members of the gang. I cannot rule out criminal elements there as well." Telamon heaves a sigh. "But I won't bar you from defending yourselves, either. If they are smart enough to surrender, that would please me."

He passes the address to Vex, a warehouse in the Docks district. There are some notes -- two members of the gang itself, plus a variable number of 'customers' and security. One sentence is underlined: 'Potion brewing operation is not stable! Be careful!'.

Vex takes the adress and the information, reads it, and passes it to the others so they can also read for themselves. "I believe I know the general layout of the area. I have been to the docks on several occasions since my arrival to the city. Before we depart, or as we traverse to our destination, perhaps we should discuss how we intend to approach this, and what capabilities we have? My construction imbues me with some small amount of channeled magic effects, similar to spells. I have ready access to some offensive, defensive, and disabling magics. When we get closer to the docks, if you wish to know particulars, I will provide whatever information best assists us in our goal to keep innocents and ourselves safe in subduing these criminal elements for proper restitution for their crimes."

"Great!" Bryn doesn't expound whether she is pleased that Vex took the note, that Vex knows where they're going, or that Vex has access to magic. "Ye! Can plan on the way!" Could be that, too. "I can do a li'l magic. Nothin all Archie Magey-like, course..." A nod at Telamon. "Can always toss 'em over my shoulder, if need be. Since we ain't planning on bashin skulls. Much." Since they're planning to walk and talk, she adds walk to her talk.

"Lani'kua," says the half-oruch, "Silverguard. I may not boast much in the way of magical might, but, I do have extensive training in arcane theory, and it's a dim, but present, hope that the Temple's authority might put greater weight behind our words."

Falling into step next to Bryn, she cannot help but look back to Vex now and again.

"...I'm sorry," she says after a couple blocks. "And I beg your forgiveness if I come across as rude, but... How did a being such as you come to be?"

The walk to the Docks is without incident, aided by the rain that splatters down from a stormy dark sky. It chases people indoors, and thus your passing goes unnoted. Soon enough, you arrive at the warehouse in question. A roll of thunder overhead, to punctuate your errand. The warehouse is built of stout, tarred wood -- possibly sourced from a ship broken down for lumber. Circling it, there are two doors -- one at the front, and one at the back.

"I was created during the period that is commonly called the Crown Wars, by a now deceased mage, as an assistant in their experiments. There was several prior models, prototypes, commissioned for my creator prior to my construction. I was the last model he commissioned as I suited his purposes." Vex explains in her hollow echo of a voice to Lani'kua on their way down to the docks, "And, may I ask by which you would prefer to be called?" She asks Bryn, "The only sound I have associated with you so far is:" The sound of a wine cork again.

Then they are coming upon the warehouse and she will indicate which one it is and Vex will opine after their initial observations, "If possible, perhaps we should approach through all points of entry, or, try to restrict which are usable before we enter. Going in separate does reduce the risk of us all being disabled by a single spell at the very least but makes us more vulnerable to being individually overwhelmed."

"Oh!" She didn't introduce herself. "Brynhildragar, but Bryn's easier ta yell out in the heat o' things. The Crown Wars?! Weren't that like thousands a years ago?" She gives Vex a much longer look, now.

For better or worse, her eyeing is cut off when they reach the warehouse. "So.. go in from all sides?" her energy is still there, though her volume is now lower. "Sounds like a plan ta me. Harder for any ta sneak out the back, neither."

"Utterly fascinating," Lani marvels at Vex's story. "My condolences for their passing, but still... Incredible even as a concept, let alone reality." With a quiet laugh, the paladin shakes her head, then grows much more businesslike as a plan is laid out. "I'd agree," she says, "and if you'll allow, I shall announce myself at the front door. Either the commotion will give the two of you time and space to slip in, or they'll run right into you on their way out."

"Less than a hundred, Brynhildragar." Vex clarifies, "The crown wars had not yet become the sorceress wars by the point of my construction. Though, it is approaching a full century." She considers, "Do we wish to attempt to parlay before violence? Perhaps we should see if we can block retreat first, before we enter. We are not in the gravest of rushes, I believe and we should not put our own safety as a lesser goal than arresting some minor malcontents."

GAME: Vex rolls perception: (17)+9: 26

"Oh." She is corrected on the time, though was only a -little- off. "If'n we can talk 'em out, all the better," Bryn agrees. "Used ta bashin heads, but that ain't always the only way." Besides, maybe the other folks'll choose violence, anyhow. Who knows? "Right. Block 'em in sounds good, too." Looks even better, since Vex spies something they can use to block it off and is still easier enough for an oruch or two to wrestle into position. After that, she looks to Lani. "You wanna announce yerself, now? Maybe they come out all nice. However they come out, least we know where they'll come out, eh?"

After the wagon gets moved, Vex notes, "It is a place of business. We should get in out of this weather I believe. It would be more comfortable for all involved."

GAME: Vex casts Mage Armor. Caster Level: 5 DC: 15

The door to the warehouse is unlocked, though a chain and lock can be seen tucked away inside. Evidently when no one's here, they lock up -- courteous of them.

Inside it's dimly lit, with tall walls of crates around you. The crates are neatly stacked and ordered, but further in, you can hear voices raised in argument around one side of the aisles.

"...No. Not just no, but -hells- no. Did we or did we not have this conversation two days ago when you wanted to speed up production? And you didn't listen! What happened?"

A long pause. Then the same voice. "Yeah. We had three lots we had to dump down into the sewers because they were inert. Stick to bullying people, it's what you're best at."

A harsh, very oruch voice responds, "Why you--"

"Ah ah ah! Don't mess with us. You'll never see the Dark Platinum hittin' your pillow."

A third voice, "That's a lame threat, you know."

Just before entering into the warehouse, Vex holds up her left hand and traces a strange sigil in the air and says a single word in draconic, a minor word of power, but a word of power none-the-less. As she does so runes and sigils carved into her dragonbone glow brightly a moment, then fade, back into the carvings of her dragonbone chassis. She nods to the others, and follows their lead.

With the back door blocked off, and their entrance gone unheeded, Lani looks to the others, raising an eyebrow. With a shrug, the lanky oruch seems to decide that the initial plan is still good enough to go with, and unlimbers her bow, nocking an arrow and stepping forward. "I'm afraid you've got bigger worries to contend with," she says, projecting her voice as far as paladin training and oruch blood allows for. "In the name of the Explorer's Guild and the Temple of Eluna, we're charged with apprehending the... Dark Platinum Wizard Gang -- seriously, *that* was the best you had? -- and bringing them to the Guard. ...Alive. Bring them to the Guard *alive.* That goes for any associates, I'm afraid, so... how about you stop what you're doing and take a knee?"

Tilting her head to one side, then the other, she smiles as winningly as her tusks allow. "Be rather upsetting if this had to get bloody, after all, wouldn't it?"

Bryn moves in with Lani, standing beside her with a big, tusky grin. She doesn't say anything just yet so she doesn't tromp on the directive-giving. Well, mostly. She can't stop a snicker at the part about Dark Platinum Wizard Gang.

The trio step into the warehouse, and Lani issues her challenge as she steps around the wall of crates.

In the center there are four rather rough-looking fellows -- two humans, and two half-orcs. Evidently you've interrupted a discussion (of sorts) between them, and two young weedy looking fellows in robes dyed with eye-searing hues. The two wizards stand in front of a complex alchemical apparatus, and evidently there was a face-down between the criminals and the magicians.

Which comes to a halt as Lani challenges them, and the bigger half-orc roars, "Adventurers! GETTUM!"

Looks like they chose violence... but Bryn double-checks. She pulls the rather large, curved blade from her back. "Ye sure ye boys wanna dance?" If they do, then there should be music or singing to accompany! A sword doesn't make the best music, so the oruchess goes with the latter, beginning to belt out in a heady contralto, "They pickin a fight, we'll do 'em up right!

Vex doesn't move past her more martial and physically imposing companions, she traces a symbol in the air that Bryn, at least, has seen her use before. She speaks a single word in draconic and then the area amidst the vast majority of the thugs and wizards explodes in gold and silver dust in a brilliant flash, clinging /everywhere/ and blinding them so. "I do not wish to harm you, but, if you do not surrender now, you give me no choice but to use potentially lethal force." Her serene and soft voice transmits louder with an echo trying to carry past Bryn's song.

There are a string of curses as three of the four thugs, as well as the two wizards, are blinded. One of the thugs, a slight-looking human female, backs up around one of the crates, rubbing in frustration at her face to try and get the sparkles out. Her other hand dips down to her belt, pulling a vial free which she uncaps and drinks hurriedly.

The half-orc who wasn't hit with the glitter snarls, yanking a heavy axe from his back. "Not bad. Now it's our turn!" He charges towards the paladin, feinting with the haft before swinging the axe around and slamming it viciously into Lani!

The greataxe crashes against Lani's breastplate, the force of the blow causing the paladin to turn in place... But then she glares at her attacker from under her hood, her grin turning hard. "...And now it's *my* turn," she says, slipping back a pace. "And as the Seer's eye falls upon your darkened heart, She shall rejoice to see your evil works undone."

As she recites her invocation, it's as if the ceiling, for a brief moment, simply wasn't there. Nor the clouds, and the rain, and a brilliant, silvery shaft of moonlight illuminates the axe-wielding thug. Lani draws back the string of her bown, sighting down on the criminal's kneecap. "And your defeat shall be a sacred gift to Her!"

The arrow is loosed.

It clatters against the ground next to the thug's foot.

Lani looks up, lifts a shoulder. "I mean I wasn't *lying...*"

"Are they?" Vex wonders aloud as she drifts behind Bryn with a light pat on her shoulder, "You have him right where you want him." She tells both the Oruch and then getting to the crate, moves up to where she can get a clear field. Cuz that's /exactly/ where you want to be as a sorcerer. Where everyone can target you and shoot you without cover, but, it also gives you a good view of the battlefield.

"You may be correct. I would not know. I am not a wizard." Vex says to the great axe wielding thug and she points one hand at him, dragonclaw talons spread, and then quickly traces another sigil while intoning in draconic again. The fact that she displays no emotion at all makes it somewhat creepy when a burst of color comes out, washing over the two thugs, but one is already blinded and thus, can't see it. The one who doesn't like wizards though.... well.

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d100: (9): 9

Bryn's rousing lyrics continue and/or repeat. While she does have a powerful voice and is on key, her lyrics may not be the most ... elaborate. After seeing Lani get hit, she does interject a "Get farked!" at hatchet as she steps up to take a swing at him. A swing that doesn't come near enough. Maybe she was trying too hard to hit softly... or too hardly.

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d20+1: (18)+1: 19

The hooded thug curses loudly again, pulling another vial from her belt as well as her dagger. She tries to tip the vial's contents over the dagger, but fumbles it, the glass bottle falling to the floor and breaking, wasting its content. Finally the sparkles are wiped from her eyes. "We gotta get outta here, guys!"

As Bryn darts in to occupy the thug's attention -- and axe -- Lani nocks another arrow, taking a few calming breaths. Bringing the bow up, she sights in on the thug's leg, waits for an opportune moment... And snarls, as the arrow hisses through the space his leg *was,* and bounces again off the floor. "I think," she says gravely, "that this is a sign. A very unfortunate one, for you lot."

"I think that sounds like a great idea!" One of the magicians yells to the hooded thug. Suddenly both wizards are beating feet for the back wall and the door there. "Legalize meteor swarms!" they yell, as they dart behind crates, approaching the door. The door they don't know is blocked. That door.

Her lyrics hence gain a bit of extra vibrato from the blood, but her spirit isn't dampened at all. "Ha!" She spits a bit of that at him. "Ye hit like a whelp!"

Seeing that Bryn is under assault, and things are in danger of getting out of hand, the serene mask of Vex looks at the guisarme wielder and then ignores him. She steps towards the north, the man's guisarm clanging off her dragonbone chassis and tweaking some of the sensitive gears and such underneath and then continues on as if it were nothing, though, she was clearly damaged. She cants a quick brief word in draconic, the molten gold in her eyes flares brilliantly and she launches three flaming spears of energy the great axe wielder Bryn was engaged with and they slam into him with burning sizzles as they puncture flesh and vital organs:

"Observe. One of your crew is now inanimate. The door will not lead you to safety. Surrender. Now."

Vex looks at the wizard gang members, and then flicks her gaze at the hood as she approaches. Still. Expressionless. Like a creepy dragonbone combat doll of sorcerous destruction.

The hooded rogue comes sprinting after the wizards. "Wait for me, damn it -- holy shit!" she screams as Vex turns and fires a trio of fiery darts into the vicious axe-wielding half orc. "You wind-up FREAK!" The dagger's in her hand, and she drives it at Vex's faceplate, only to miss.

Reaching out, Lani's hand shimmers with moonlight as she rests it on Bryn's shoulder. While the healing isn't terribly *strong,* it does at least provide some relief and still the bleeding from the terrible wound the bard took. "See to our friend up there," she says, her voice serious and encouraging.

Then she looks up to the pair of thugs still in the middle of the room; ine insensate, and one very much not. "I'll handle this one."

The bow clatters to the floor, and the orc draws a steel ring, lined with a trio of large, sharp crescent moons. Her step is easy, almost casual, as she advances on the human. "I want you to remember," she says, "we offered you a chance to end this without blood. *You* denied us."

The wizards stare at Vex in confusion, and then one extends his forefinger and pinky in response. "Dark Platinum Wizard Gang! We love casting spells!" Then the two of them try to open the door and... it doesn't open. "What the f..." "It's not opening. Like there's something stuck in front of it." One of the wizards yells at the hooded thug attacking Vex, "Help us open this thing!"

Meanwhile, the guisarme-armed warrior drops his polearm as Lani approaches, whipping out a longsword. A quick thrust draws blood, though it's a relatively minor wound compared to the painful hit from the axe-wielding half-orc. "Oh no you don't, you're not taking ME back in chains!"

And down goes Hatchet, by fiery bolts of doom. "Ha!" Bryn looses a hand form her falchion long enough to make a gesture, then moves up to stand with Lani once more. "Back atcha!" She gives the halfsy firm affirming slap that also dumps a bit of magic into her of the helpful variety. "Yer runnin outta meatshields!" That's called out to the mighty Copper Apprentice Cowder.

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d4: (2): 2

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Four - Init 16.

It is now Hood's turn! Greataxe is next!

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Four - Init 10.

It is now Greataxe's turn! Lani'kua is next!

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Four - Init 9.

It is now Lani'kua's turn! Wizgangers is next!

As the wizardgang calls out for the hood to help them after she tries to stab Vex in the face, which misses, badly, deflected by a flare of arcane energy from a brief glowing image of her own personal wards, Vex steps back lifts a hand, again intones another well, more familiar these days, incantantion, and sends a blast of color at at the trio. The wizards are a little canny and are able to avoid the spray, but hood... hood crumples to the ground unconscious. Vex starts to turn and says again, "You have until I return to surrender, or, we will not be so lenient." Does she mean it? Really? It's so hard to say with one of those War Golems!

GAME: Lani'kua rolls melee+1+1: (3)+4+1+1: 9

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Four - Init 8.

It is now Wizgangers' turn! Rook is next!

"You go back in chains," Lani says, eyes hard, "or you go to the Mountain in a cart. Choose *swiftly,* for every second you refuse is another second where the chains stop being an option for you."

Pausing as Bryn returns the favor, she tosses a grateful look over her shoulder, then lunges out, the tines of her starknife tearing through the air... but not finding purchase in flesh.

"Duck and cover!" Evidently the wizards aren't unfamiliar with these spells, both ducking away as the color spray goes off. Then they look up, and see... the rogue unconscious on the floor. "Aw, shit. Did you bring...?" "No, I had to leave it behind, remember?" "Shit." They both look at Vex, and then sigh... sitting down with their backs to the door, hands visible.

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Four - Init 1.

It is now Rook's turn! Bryn is next!

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d20+6: (6)+6: 12

The sword-wielding thug shouts at the half-orc who's spent the whole fight in a daze, "SNAP OUT OF IT, IDIOT, THEY'RE KICKING OUR ASSES!" He doesn't know if it'll help, but he scrambles around to try and keep from getting double-teamed, jabbing at Lani'kua again -- but this time she fends off his blade with her starknife.

GAME: NEW ROUND!

Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 18.

It is now Bryn's turn! Vex is next!

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d20+8: (9)+8: 17

GAME: Telamon rolls 2d4+6: (4)+6: 10

Bryn moves in, and deals a vicious strike to the sword-wielding thug with her own blade, crowing in triumph as the criminal staggers from the hit.

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 17.

It is now Vex's turn! Hood is next!

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 16.

It is now Hood's turn! Greataxe is next!

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 10.

It is now Greataxe's turn! Lani'kua is next!

"Your companions have surrendered or been rendered ineffective. You fall alone at this point. None shall rescue you." Vex says to Rook as she wanders almost casually over to the downed half-oruch and kicks the great axe away to the north of her to clatter against one of the crates. She kneels down and starts the process of trussing up the stunned half-oruch like everything else is just, done, forgone, no use even needing to help put the still standing half-oruch down.

It's called... dismissal.

GAME: Telamon advances the initiative order.

Round Five - Init 9.

It is now Lani'kua's turn! Wizgangers is next!

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d20+6: (20)+6: 26

It is now Rook's turn! Bryn is next!

GAME: Telamon rolls 1d20+2: (11)+2: 13

"I would listen to the lady if I were you," Lani says almost conversationally, circling around... and reeling slightly as the thug's sword flashes out, drawing a deep, bloody furrow in her cheek. Grinning, she reaches up to the cut, fingers shimmering as she runs them down its length... and what was just moments ago a grievous wound, is now a thin, angry pink line.

"*My* turn."

And the starknife flashes out again, slicing at the criminal's ribs.

As the wizgangers sit there quietly, the sword-wielding thug slashes at Lani'kua as she goes past. "We can handle this, Krod, just-- oh what the fuck?!" The man's eyes bug out as he sees his companion getting trussed up like a turkey, still drooling. Then the man screams in pain as Lani's starknife sinks into him.

Something breaks, and he drops his sword. "Alright! Alright! Quarter, damn you, quarter!" He holds his hands up, bleeding heavily.

GAME: Telamon removes the timestop.

Timestop by Telamon has left.

GAME: Vex rolls 1d6+5: (3)+5: 8

With the last thug's surrender, you are able to secure the surviving three thugs, as well as the two gang members. Getting them out is a bit of a chore, but manageable, especially as you're able to flag down a watch patrol not long after and get some additional hands.

Telamon meets you at the precinct office, looking pleased. "Well done, well done. It looks like it was rough, but you won out. I wouldn't mind 'independent entrepreneurs' so much, but they give every magician a bad name when they run around being little more than scoundrels." He gives the two gangers in particular a flinty stare, before ushering you away.

"Now, why don't we adjourn to the temples first, get those injuries looked at. And then, perhaps drinks at the TarRaCe? They have the most marvelous autumn cider laid in..."

*Title: A Friend for Magpie and Wizard

*GM: Aftershock

*Characters: [[Magpie]], [[Corey]]

*Place: Fernwood, Room 3

After asking around at the arcanist's society and retrieving the book of Albus Kinkade back into his possession, Cor'ethil Cari'thana has taken his mother's rather odd absence for the past few hours (surely she's just holed up in her own accommodations with his father) as an opportunity to do the right thing and to return Albus Kinkade to Corey's one-time ally and patient listener of botanical facts, Magpie.

"What _is_ the Malice of Infinity, anyway? I mean, why that title? It sounds like this one sildanyari romance I read when I was fifty-two," Corey remarks to the book as he's finding Magpie's door in the Fernwood. "It was called the _Depths of Malice_, and it was about a man finding out he's come down with an incurable sickness of the soul that can only be staved off by the healing touch of his Daeusite cleric friend, Elian'side--"

Then Corey spots the door, and he smiles, sparing Albus Kinkade the second-worst torture of being a book (aside from having his spine cracked): not being able to walk away from someone's infodump. "Ah! There's Magpie's door!"

Corey approaches it and knocks. Thump-da-da-thump-thump, thump-thump!

"TWO COP," comes the immediate, though audibly annoyed, answer from the other side of the door. Followed shortly by the *thump* of something small hitting the floor on both feet, and the rhythmic stomping toward the door...

...then silence.

Then more stomping, followed by an impressive multilingual chain of swearing as something gets dragged beside the door, climbed, and *then* the doorknob turns, revealing an *incredibly* frowny-faced gnome lady, standing on a chair, on the outside of the door.

"...I fall too much if I just reach up," she grumbles, and green eyes flick over Corey's armor, pendant, then back up to his face, eyebrow rising. "...Okay is someone blaming me for blowing up a highway, too?"

Though the book - Malice of Infinity - had been rather loud during its abduction, it has largely fallen into silence since its rescue. However at the sound of Magpie's voice it perks up (as much as a book can... which is verbally only when a book can talk). "Magpie?!? Is that you dear? I've been abducted! Quick, pin this thief down and check him for a tail! Imps can't hide them you know!"

"Wh--" Corey is scandalized at the implication that he's a fiend, and also, that he's an imp. "If you're going to accuse me of being a fiend, at least pick a sexy fiend, like an incubus, or--"

He colors a little. "Nevermind. Anyway, hi Magpie. I'm Cor'ethil Cari'thana--remember, from the little Explorers' Guild mission to deal with that mage making the honey? And we tried to find little Debra?" That last fact is far too distressing to end on, so he adds, "And I shared all of my botanical facts about the area?"

Corey pulls out the book and hands it to Magpie with a smile. "Anyway, I caught the person responsible for stealing this fellow, and I rather thought you'd like him back. ... I think the person also blew up your room? A copy of the Tribune flew into my face earlier." It's the quickest way to receive the news, sometimes.

"PROFESSOR!" Magpie's entire face is altered by the sound of the book's voice, and leaps off the stool to plant a hug around Corey's neck. "I figured blowing up my room was cover for stealing him because he's the only book I have that isn't really *really* bad romance and if anyone important finds out I'm hanging onto him they'll probably stuff him back into Eluna's vaults and leave him there thank you thank you THANK YOU!"

Letting go of the paladin's neck, she snatches the book out of Corey's hand on the way down, giving the tome just as energetic a hug as she gave Corey. "Oh leave off, professor, would an imp *bring you back to me?* He's a paladin anyway, and I doubt an imp could keep his lunch at the *thought* of taking on a paladin's shape. Come in, come in, sit sit sit! I think I still have some Grenade Buns from the Goblintown bakery somewhere, and I *know* I've got tea somewhere -- don't just *stand* there Corey, come in! Mind the mess."

...The mess being a couple small stacks of books, organized -- if one could call it that -- by color, subject, *and* alphabetically, according to a system one can only guess at, next to waxed-parchment street food wrappers folded into various animals.

Clearly, Magpie has not yet had the time to make a true horror of the place, but efforts are ongoing.

As she rummages through her backpack for tea, cups, and kettle, she continues her chatter, voice growing more grumpy. "But can you beleive they're blaming *me* for that mess? I'm the *aggrieved* party! I'm not even *in* a department that would lead me to blowing stuff up! I'M NOT EVEN A STUDENT."

The book seems stymied by Magpie's reaction and soothed by being in her possession again because it leaves off the thought that Corey is an imp. Well mostly. "You could at least check him for a tail." The book mutters and then sighs. "Good to be with you again Magpie. I was horribly worried when I heard that your room was harmed. What if you had been in there?"

It's evident that the book has a certain amount of paternal affection for Magpie by its voice. "I'd let them have what's-for you know! I was a wizard of good standing! Before all this that is. I should anyway... but I don't want to end up on a shelf forgotten somewhere." A sigh.

"I promise that I do not have a tail." Corey goes into the room and closes the door behind him, taking a seat... somewhere. His twin sister would have a conniption at being in this room. Granted, the fact that Magpie managed to move everything she owns in such a short amount of time is actually rather impressive.

Cor'ethil watches Magpie work with a smile (getting hugged by anyone can put him in a good mood). Listening to Kinkade be aghast at the situation makes him smile even more, although the subject itself puts a little wrinkle into Cor'ethil's brow. "Kinkade's right. You really could have been hurt. I'm glad that we managed to save Kinkade..."

He remembers something. "Speaking of wizards. Magpie, do you know someone by the name of Frisgar? I met him. Older fellow who was coaxing the squirrels to him and offering butterscotch candies. He said he was a friend of Kinkade's and tried to help us."

Magpie pauses in her rummaging to look at the book next to her, then take it up and hug it tightly again. "Don't worry Professor, I still haven't given up, and I'm not gonna until someone makes me. We'll get you out of that thing someday, you'll see. And until then I will *not* let you be stuck on a dusty shelf in a vault."

With that, she returns to her searching, and mutters dire imprecations about the incident "If I'd've been there none of this would have happened!" Magpie protests, *thunking* a portable tea service onto the floor, followed by a jar of tea, and an alchemist's vial bandoleer full of... individual vials of sugar?

"There're self-defense provisions, I've read them all, and I can do a *lot* that won't hurt a room. Eardrums, sure, but not things! And if I can *turn a vampire into a weasel* I can definitely turn a thief into a slug or something." Opening a tiny bag hanging off the side of her backpack, she reaches in up to her shoulder, digs around for a moment, and rears back with a box the size of her torso made of thin wooden planks, with the design of a loaf of bread on fire burned into the top. "Grenade Buns," she says with satisfaction, toddling over to drop the box on the human-sized bed Corey is seated upon. "Spiced pork and gravy, they're great, have some! I'll just get to the tea. So... What even *happened* to get my room blown up? And will you be prepared to repeat it to a panel of coincounters?"

The book is humming lightly to itself in a pleased sort of way until Corey mentions a familiar name and then. "Oh yes. Poor Frisgar. Fiz was the best of us. Really was. I miss him dearly. Oh, Magpie, those sound delicious! Spiced pork? Ah, to be young again!"

"Well, we found a young man, who turned out to be possessed by a demon--I exorcised it out of him with my pendant of Gilead," Cor'ethil explains, taking a Grenade Bun and looking it over carefully before he thinks of having his first bite. He does. It's a taste he wasn't quite expecting, but then again, he doesn't know what he was expecting. "Mmm--"

And then he blinks.

"Umm." Corey looks at the book. "What do you mean, _was_? We met Frisgar. Bright as day. Very alive. He was talking to us. Don't tell me that he's dead and we met..."

Cor'ethil shakes his head, sighing. "Okay, let me back up. We were in the Arcanist Society's courtyard, where we met this old mage Frisgar who said he was old friends with Dremarin and Kinkade. Respectively, they were Fiz, Driz, and Kiz--Frisgar, Dremarin, and Kinkade. He appeared to know know what happened to his friends. Then there was this young man, who I detected great evil off of, so we followed, and it turned out he stole Kinkade--the book containing Kinkade, that is. He was the one who set fire to your room. We caught him, and I exorcised the demon, and now he's in holding with the proper authorities."

"...Hang on," Magpie says, setting the teakettle to heating entirely on its own. "You said Frisgar *helped* you, right? But... he's been gone at least a year, maybe two, Professor you *just said* you missed him. And Diz-- he's been missing for *months,* but he's a *really* respected planar-travel expert. Why even *would* he go missing if he didn't want to?"

Shaking her head, she pours out a pair of cups -- gnome-sized, sadly -- and hands both cups up to Corey. The reason for this is made clear, and she picks up Albus, and clambers up the side of the bed, plopping herself down on the other side of the box of buns from the paladin.

"...Okay so wait you *have the guy in custody.* He was possessed, but now he's *in custody* and his *name is known* and *WHAT IN THE FRAZGLEN XEL'LO'TATH GLR FTAGHN* AM I DOING BEING BLAMED."

"Now now Magpie. That's no way for a lady to talk!" Albus Kinkade says from his book. One can almost imagine him patting her on the hand gently to calm her. "Fiz died two months before our yearly meeting of old age. It's when I realized that I needed to really get moving on my book. I didn't want to die before I finished Malice of Infinity!" He sighs.

"I'm afraid I don't know what happened with Driz. He's a good man and I'm surprised to hear that anyone could get the upper hand on him. But then... Who am I to judge? I got myself stuck in a book." Kinkade sighs again. "Fiz must have some unfinished business. I hope he moves on soon."

Corey's a very pale sildanyari already. But if he could turn more pale... he would. As it stands, his silver eyes going wide are the only indication that he's-- "Did we meet a _ghost_?" he asks. It's his first time interacting with one that he can think of.

He looks at Magpie. "I don't know, but... It's not right, and I'd be happy to testify and try and fix this? Meanwhile, there's this whole mess with Fiz and Driz, and..."

Cor'ethil massages the side of his face, and he has a sip of his tea. "This is bizarre," he says. "I feel like I'm getting a migraine all over again just trying to think about it."

"I mean, probably?" Magpie says, lifting a shoulder. "But that's something for the Vardaman, especially if he passed of old age. They could probably help you have a word with him? And... it's not *that* convoluted. Fiz, Driz, and Kiz were pretty big names in the university before they settled down -- and you never told me you're *that* Kiz, Professor, I'm *gonna want stories now -- so whatever's going on probably has something to do with something they got up to back in the day. Kiz here *is* one of the school's big experts on diabolism, and with Fiz as a historian, and Driz as the planar-travel expert... I mean obviously it's demons, but it's probably demons. So Professor, how many upper-tier demons *did* you guys piss off as a group?"

At this, Magpie grins at the book, then pauses, blinks, and sucks in a big gasp of air.

...Apparently she forgot to breathe in during that entire spiel?

Growing red in the cheeks, she covers her embarrassment by opening the box and trying to stuff as much of one of the eight remaining buns -- each half the size of her head -- into her mouth as she can.

Kinkade makes a sniffing sound. "Total? I lost count. They are all written in my Compellation of the Eternal." He sounds rather pleased with himself all told. "Back in my day, we would travel right to the Abyss, pick a fight, trap a fiend in one of Fiz's gems and I would write all their information down. THOSE were the days. If not for that infernal V... Well. The fiend is gone now so I suppose that's enough."

There's a pause from the book. "Now, sir Cor'ethil, being that you're a knight and all that, might I ask you to look after Fiz for me? Take a Mourner to him?" The request is very politely asked.

"Holy shit," Cor'ethil says simply as he looks at the book, wide-eyed. He sits up a little straighter. "You... Would go and pick a fight with anyone you could find? And that's how you documented all of those demons? That's..."

Cor'ethil knows several languages. He is struggling to find a word. "Audacious," he settles in Sylvan. "I think that's right word. I don't immediately know its equivalent in Trade." He blushes a little before nodding.

"I can find a Mourner. Actually, I think I know one... One of the Lupecyll-Atlons? I think? I've heard there's a Mourner." He looks thoughtful. "I'd volunteer my twin, but An probably shouldn't go anywhere near a wizard who's an expert in demon-bothering. She'd talk his ear off with questions before she ever actually got to the part of... Sending him along."

"'Audacious,'" Magpie says absently. "And yeah that's a good word for it! Because Kiz here *is* pretty great, and right now it's my life's mission to get this bad boy out of his book and into a body everyone -- including the Guild and the city -- can live with."

Monching on her lunch, she looks up at Corey, tilting her head. "You have a sister? And she's... *into* diabolism, or into *diabolism?* Cos I mean if the Professor's willing, you could probably bribe her for something with a two-hour interview. It'll definitely be more interesting than the two of us reading bad romance and critiquing the writing! ...Which I was worried I'd never get the chance to do anymore. Seriously, thanks a lot, Corey. If the Professor fell into the wrong hands it might be bad for the world, but I'd also lose my *friend,* y'know?"

"Ah, you are too kind as always Magpie." The gruff old wizard sounds a little teary-eyed though he has neither tears nor eyes. "So long as it sees Fiz off, I could do an interview or something myself. I don't mind and I hardly have anything better to do. No offense meant Magpie dear."

There's a moment of quiet and then. "If the others were around I'd ask them to make you an honorary member of our group lass. Goodness knows you've the heart for it! You could be Miz and bring misery to fiends everywhere."

"I actually have two sisters," Corey admits a little bashfully. "My oldest sister, Lala, is... She's exceedingly talented, but she can't be bothered to anchor her talent to anything. I guess that comes with being the 'princess' of the household." He chuckles affectionately. "She mostly just helps my father with the family rookery. She loves taking care of all of the ravens. My twin sister, Ansír--the one who'd love to have a long interview--she's a scholar that specializes in the dual use of arcane and divine magic. She's also got a scholarly interest in things that might be considered taboo--like necromancy, demons, the like."

He sighs. "She would never _summon_ a demon, of course, but she believes having the knowledge is not a bad thing. It is actually critical to understanding how someone might, and how to stop someone who might. ... She also flirted with the Archmage Lupecyll-Atlon's sister-by-bond, Auranar, and now she won't stop asking me to scope out libraries for her to visit. Even though Auranar's a married woman."

Cor'ethil rubs his forehead again. "Which is all to say... I understand, Magpie. An knows a lot. If someone stuck her in a book and stole her, it'd be catastrophic. But... that's also my sister. My world would definitely be rocked if she were to disappear." He smiles warmly at Magpie. "Let me go talk to someone and get a Mourner for poor Fiz. Even if it ends up being my sister."

"Awwww..." The invitation to the 'iz' club brings tears to Magpie's eyes as well, and she tries to give the book yet another hug, without getting fire-pepper-gravy stains all over the cover. It really is a feat of manual dexterity that she manages it, even more so by how she has to use her feet to put the book back at her side... getting gravy all over the blankets, of course.

"She sounds like an absolute headache and I would *love* to meet her sometime," the gnome says brightly. "Because people say that about me a lot too! And anyone who thinks Auranar's flirting material -- wedding ring notwithstanding, I would *not* want to see what her wife would have to say about that -- has good taste too, so she's got that going for her! But yeah... definitely go talk to the Mourners. And when you're done, let me know? I want you there when I start yelling at old people who might take it personally. And nobody takes things personally like wizards in academia."

Albus makes a muffled noise, but otherwise says nothing for a long moment until the subject changes to Corey's sister. "See! That's what I've been saying for years! With the right knowledge we can identify fiends and know what they're up to before they become a problem! I never meant my book to be used to *summon* the blasted things, but if you don't know how then how do you know if you're looking at a summoning circle for one fiend and not another???" He harumphs.

"Knowledge is power, and power can be misused a number of ways," Cor'ethil says with a grin. "Maybe I will bring her by. I get the impression that you need more friends. Both of you."

The Warden of Gilead finishes his cup of tea and sets it down. "I'd like to stay and chat, but it sounds like I've got a twin--and maybe another Mourner--to talk to. Magpie, if you ever want to chat... About _anything_, not just adventurer business, please come find me? I'm usually hanging around at the Temple of Gilead or in the marketplace." He flushes a little. "Karasu and I are getting married, and it seems like we need more and more things every day for the wedding."

"See that's what *I'm* saying! And maybe the rules are stupid but they happen because of the *really dumb* people so, like, if we want *smart* rules we need to figure out how to take the dumb out of the *wizards*-- wait."

A diatribe that the pair of them have probably rehearsed countless times is cut right off. "You're getting married? You need things?! DO YOU NEED AN ILLUSIONIST?! I COULD HELP MAKE YOUR WEDDING AMAZING! *AND* HELP CATER!"

...Oh no.

Volunteering himself to be Magpie's friend... might have some drawbacks.

The Stage Is Set

2024-04-30T00:07:12Z

Derecho:

Nighttime over Alexandria, and the moon is high and full. The day has been balmy and clear, and the night has become just on the comfortable side of cool. In short, it has been the kind of weather that most people love, and poets despise; a calm, idyllic spring day, free of blemish or drama.

In the tavern below, the night's merriment has rambled to a close, the evening's cleaning finished, and the doors locked until the morrow. Quiet has descended over the TaRaCe, as the tavern hunkers down for the night.

But in Sabina's room, a lamp remains lit, for sleep is difficult to find.

The room is as tiny as she remembered. Just enough space for a cot, a chair and a small desk. Her pack tucked under the cot for the time being. Having been so long on the road the idea of unpacking it seems far more strange then it should and so she's left it.

Memmories of helping to make the TarRaCe and then her time running it are all too easy to summon up here. Thoughts with inevitably lead to the reasons she left.

She makes her lips curl into a smile dispite those memmories and hums softly to herself, trying to find something else to think about.

It's the kind of thing that philosophers and arcanists can talk about endlessly; why is it, that the more one tries not to think of something, that think looms ever larger in the thoughts?

The connection has remained, active and persistent, and over the months Sabina has felt a thrumming of emotion now and again, as if hearing a familiar voice over a distant hill. But little more than that, and one gets the feeling that it's deliberate.

That, after having upended Sabina's life, Rupi is trying to have as little impact as possible as she tries to sort out her own place in this new, hostile world.

For her part, Sabina has shared her emotions to the link. Not that she would know how to shield herself from it. They hadn't had the time to learn. And that thought causes a pang of sorrow to well up strongly. She pushes it back down and keeps her smile in place. One must always smile, Sabina. Always.

She reaches up to touch the upper portion of her face, almost expecting to find her missing mask there. The feel of digits touching cheek startles her still. She finds herself wondering if Rupi has sold it off to make her way or if she's wearing it and masquerading as Sabina. It wouldn't be the first time. They both agreed that Rupi should stop that particular action. But that was while she was in the city here. There are all sorts of needs and situations out there in the world beyond the walls.

Still humming she draws her knees up to her chest on the cot, eyes checking on the sleeping form of Emp not but a arms length away.

She blinks slowly. Has her link been open all this time? It is perhaps like the link of a mage and a familiar? That link she knows well.

Reaching out mentally she touches the connection, or tries too. Sending a questioning thought. "?"

GAME: Sabina rolls knowledge/the planes: (9)+8: 17

It's not... quite... the same. Rather, the link is similar in some ways, but in the way that perhaps the familiar might experience such a link; a tether to a being greater in scope, power, and imprint than one would reasonably be able to achieve in one's lifetime.

In other ways, however, it's quite a different thing. Being on the 'small' end of the tether, a simple, unformed question is not nearly a thought powerful enough to catch the 'currents' and reach the other side. THere's simply too much interference, mental, mystical, and otherwise, in the waking world.

As Eluna hangs silvery bright, visible through the small room's one window, standing watch over the dreaming minds, a thought bubbles to the surface of Sabina's mind.

If the waking world is too loud, busy, and crowded... What of the dreaming lands?

Sabina has had her share of dreams, both real waking world and while asleep. She ponders this new line of thinking. It's a suject she knows little about. There are spells, of course, to put one to sleep or to send someone dreams. But she's not learned much about the dream lands themselves. Where all dreams come from and end.

Her toes wriggle into the covers on the bed and she tries to recall what exactly she does know. If it were as easy as falling asleep then she'd likely have made contact in the past already. Her thoughts never stray too far from Rupi for long. Never more then a ten day for certain. Her desire to speak with Rupi would likely influence her dreams but real conversation is not something she's had in the past. That she remembers anyway.

It's a pretty puzzle, to be sure.

How does one influence a dream, when one's conscious mind is set adrift in the first place? How does one give direction to a drifting mind?

The lamplight flickers as a passing breeze curls into Sabina's apartment, carrying with it the scents of the city. Nearby flowers, the last vestiges of cooked food, a sour thread of spilled beer--

--and for just a moment, a faint curl of pipe tobacco.

Scent has always, ever, been deeply linked to memory.

And thus do memories begin to surface of the Temple, and Sabina's time as an acolyte. Of just beginning to learn Tairen's mysteries.

Ahh pipe smoke. The memmory of Darden's pipe smoke makes her smile in truth though her face never changes outwardly. The handsome lucht who found her after the strangers came and murdered her parents. How calm he was as he coaxed her out from under the wagon and the concealed comparment. His smile warm and kind. How he tried to ensure she didn't look back at momma and poppa. 'Just look my way, lass. That's a fine a girl. Come walk with me, eh?'

She giggles, eyes going to the window where the smells come from.

How lucky she was to have met Darden. The Lucht a wonderer and a priest of Tarien. He'd helped her get what little things she had to take from the wagon and took her away. It was he who taught her to smile again and what a wonderful thing smiles could be. A few years later he left her at one of Tarien's more grand temples to recieve the last of her training. The formal parts. Ahh how she missed him. And truth be told the temple as well.

It was in those final days of learning that she started talking to Tarien's statue. No mater the temple she would stop and have a chat with him. Listening and making conversation with the icon that didn't answer back. Not audibly anyway. And oh the stares she would get! The memmory of some of those concerned faces causes her to laugh still. And warm her heart that folks still stop to care.

Laughter, merriment, have always been cherished by followers of Tairen. But behind the laughter, there was always the lessons. Ever has Tairen sought to couch truth in the absurd, to make lessons out of misfortune, for the trickster has always couched truth behind jokes.

Sometimes, those truths are sweet things, that laughter is needed only to sand away the burrs that keep them from fitting in the mind. Sometimes, though, the truth is a bitter pill, and a touch of the absurd is necessary to make it palatable at all.

And the truth is, for all that she may be back home... She cannot, is not allowed to, return to the Temple where she served so faithfully. And she cannot do this, because of the very link she just tested. Because of who Rupi *is,* not who she wanted to be.

But is it a bad joke, or is it simply one she does not get?

What would Darden have thought, of this quest to give humanity to the inhuman? Mortality to the immortal?

The memmory of her mentor that day. Not too long before he dropped her off at the temple. A fine Fall day. Warm with a chill breeze. Leaves falling around them where they had stopped on the road. Darden's face a mask of fright and worry with a touch of anger.

"You can't make everyone smile, Sabby! It's not possible! The other emotions of the soul won't allow for it. The true smile is that which leaks from the soul, girl. Shown to all the world around you and lifting up those in need. You can't make people smile through their pain or mental hurt. Or their anger for that matter!"

Oh how she's laughed. Laughed until tears streamed down her face. How she's leaned over and cupped his cheeks in both hands and kissed him and whispered, "I bet I can." And how he'd weeped then and fallen quiet as they continued on the road.

She can imagine his reaction would be close to that if heard of Rupi and their connection. But also perhaps he'd hold a bit of pride as well. That she'd even attempt to redeem a demon at all. The absurd notion so very worthy of a laugh.

And, Sabina would learn, Darden was right to be angry then. Sabina would learn of the balance that must be walked, of the pitfalls of forced laughter. Joy may be the ideal, but it could never, *can* never be permament in a mortal heart. Every light must cast a shadow, after all, and an unceasing light gives rise to unwavering darkness.

Another breeze finds its way through a seam in the lampglass, curling just right to snuff out the little flame in its heart. And as the flame dies, and the room now lit only by silvery moonlight, a final memory surfaces; of the day of Sabina's Pact.

She sighs and aknoeledges that making people smile is so very hard at times. But she still tries. Smiles are what saved her after all.

She statles as the light goes out and then chuckles at herself. She looks around the room. This very room where she farmed the pact with Rupi. The succubus so lost and in pain at having lost her connection to her planar place. How they'd talked about what the rules were going to be. How Sabina told Rupi she desired nothing from the succubus other then her smile and her not harming people in the city unless attacked first. Rupi's request was only to stay with Sabina and learn of the depths of the mortal world in things not involving sex and betrayal. How each had taken turn under the needle of the other intention becoming tattoo that formed the mark of their link.

The link seems to heat with that memmory. The sexual feelings that tried to flood through while Rupi marked her. How she staved them off with laughter. And Rupi's tears that she tried to hide as the human emotions were sent back to her as the link was finished.

They lay down together in the cot, still clothed, quite and calm. Each feeling the link. Rupi's first to a mortal. And of course Bina's first ever.

"Why do you never ask me to join you in bed, Bina?" Sabina smiles at the moonlight and rembers her answer as if she'd just spoken it. "Because that's what they wanted you to do. Perhaps forced you to do. I just want you to be free. Truely free. And make your own choices about what you wish to do."

It's interesting, isn't it? The concept of freedom. When a person is free of all bonds, duties, obligations, the first thing they *do* is find something to bond them to. In that, at least, perhaps Rupi isn't *much* different from a mortal; cut off from her home, she seeks a means of binding herself to this plane. That it's *necessary* to continue living...? Doesn't make it any less of a fetter.

All beings, in the end, are slaves to survival.

And with this thought, those memories, swirling in her head, the night claims victory over consciousness...

And between one slow breath and the next, Sabina finds herself standing, on a vast plain lit only by an impossible number of stars. The air smells heavy with burgeoning rain, and the distant grumble of thunder wars with the more present creaks and buzzes of night-time insect life.

Then, from no particular direction, a series of yips swirl out of the starlit air.

Laughing?

Mocking?

Mourning?

Warning?

Welcoming?

Within the dream Sabina closes her eyes and breathes in deeply of the night air, tasting it on her tongue. The yips and sounds scare her at first. Humans being afraid of that they can't see and don't understand. But as they continue she settles down her heart and trieds to call forth a simple light spell. One shielded in her hands.

"Hello?" She says into the night. "Where am I?"

The dreaming world has its own laws of reality, it seems. When Sabina reaches for the power to fuel her spell, be it ever so simple, the mana just--

--isn't there. It's like reaching for your keys in the dark, and bumping your hand on the wall.

And the yips come faster, and now *definitely* sound like laughter. A rapid-fire

YIP YIP

YIP YIP YIP

YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP

that eventually just devolves into a wild cackle.

A brisk wind sweeps around the plain, bending the grasses in a skirling, swirling motion, picking up leaves and errant twigs and blades of grass as it leaps and frolics over the dreaming plain.

<< A light in the darkness, >> mutters a voice, << when all other lights fade? >>

The laughter returns, sweeping around and behind and above Sabina, carried on the wind.

<< Oh little dreamer, how can you hope to spark light with such frail tinder? >>

Sabina smiles as she does for almost every occasion. "How can you spark a light without hope?" She asks the voice in the dream, her sleeping mind still not understanding what is real and what is not.

"And frail tinder is better and then no tinder at all?" She stands still and does not try to reach for another spell.

"My I ask who you are? Where I am? Without the light to see I am forced to use senses other then sight. And humans are limited in that reguard. And so many others."

<< She may! >> cackles the voice. << She may open and close her mouth, and push air into words! Even in this dreaming plain, there are no muzzles to bind her actions! >>

With a merry hoot, the wind leaps upward, clattering and rustling and full of debris...

And the stars begin to follow in its wake. Tugged along in the wake of such a sprightly breeze, the glittering jewels that lit the sky tug, and pull, and clump. It's as if the heavens are a massive, dense thicket of burr-weed, and the laughing wind a dog gamboling through it.

And, indeed, the shape the stars begin to describe is canine... after a fashion. But long and sinuous, as much weasel as dog...

And the being continues to sweep and dance and roll among the stars, eventually picking out the shape of long, long limbs, ending in ridiculously tiny paws.

<< A light without hope? Ask the lightning! Ask old Storm-Crow what he hopes for! But ask him from under very thick stone! >>

Sabina's smile widens as the night comes to life as something other and yet seemingly familiar. She settles down to the ground and sits on her heels. A laugh escapes her as the being dances. "With all due respect I think I'll decline from asking him. I'm sure I won't like the answer very much." ,she giggles.

"Are you perhaps Tarien or one sent by him? Or maybe you are in disguise and seek to lead me astray. But then I'd just likely be dead instead of watching you dance, I'd think."

<< Tairen! >> laughs the starlit wind. << A name to conjure by! The Bard King! The Trickster, the Singer, the Oat-Meal Flinger! But this breeze would never presume to puff so mightily! No, little dreamer, insects as you or I are too fine to partake of the gods' notice. But what a fine disguise it would be, yes? >>

Enough stars stick to the creature's head, to pick out details, and--

--well--

--it's *like* a coyote, in the same way that a cloud is *like* a teddy bear. Ears that come to points, twice as tall as the head that holds them, a muzzle nearly as long as the ears are tall, and streaked by stars and nebulae, split by a grin that could be nothing more than an enthusiastic smear of jewelled paint.

But where its eye should be, is naught but a hollow void. No stars light those depths, and finally its sinuous windings end in a spiral that pours it back down onto the grass, that impossible head looming *uncomfortably* close.

<< But why would this one lead a little dreamer astray, I wonder? What could be gained from such a morsel? >>

Sabina leans back, likely to gain some space and to get a better look at this creature. "All sorts of creatures and beings lead one astray. To hunt and feed. To gain a secondary goal. For fun and sport. To teach. As for why you would want to do any of those things to me I can not guess. But I seem to be at your mercy." She grins again, "That said, I do like your smile. It reminds me of something..someone. I just can't seem to remember."

She settles down and back from her heels to her rump before speaking again. "If you aren't Tarien then you must have another name that you are called. Unless you can't tell me because you are Fae of some sort? I am guessing you already know mine."

<< Names, >> the creature laughs. << Names! Fae jester I am not, but they *do* teach mortalkind a valuable lesson! >> Rearing back, the creature spreads its front paws, reaching up to the dark-smudged sky. << Never offer your name, or something greater than you *might take it.* >>

Falling back, it rolls around in giggles for a moment. << But mortals need names! They name every leaf and bug and cloud, for without names, is a thing a thing? I am! I am a thing! >>

Twisting up to its feet, the creature winds around Sabina, somehow stretching far enough to coil itself twice, and yet leave Sabina standing in a ten-foot circle of brightly lit grass. <>

Bina finches back and then forward as the creature wraps around her space, cutting her off from escape. At least now there is some light, though.

"He-Who-Knows-What-He-Did. A pleasure to meet you. And you're right. Humans and other races tend to name everything. Afix it or try to afix it in some sort of catagory. To understand what they're interacting with. A strength and a weakness both." She cants her head to one side and looks at where the creature's eyes should be. "What is it exactly that you did?"

<< NOTHING! >> the creature shrieks, falling into gales of laughter, its sinuous body rippling all along the coils that light the grass. When it finally recovers its mirth, it raises and twists its head, staring at Sabina upside-down.

Which makes it very, very difficult to tell if its upturned, toothy mouth is a grin, or a frown.

<< Or did I? She thinks perhaps I lie, so... maybe? Do I? Am I a liar, little dreamer? Will you spin a new existence for me, also? Knowing nothing of what came before? >>

Bina startles and blinks at He-Who-Knows when the roaring laughter takes place. She waits for him to settle down and gets wide eyed as he presents his head upside down. She has to fight the urge to try and turn her head to the side to make the sight more normal.

"Everyone has done /something/ unless you were nothing until I met you just now. And since you met me you've confused me, startled me, made me laugh and worry about my safety." She coughs and looks him in the eyes again.. "Would you explain what you mean by spin a new exhistance?"

<< You are mortal, little dreamer, >> the creature says with almost patronizing fondness. << There is no greater humor under the stars, than to watch a mortal try to think like a spirit. Your eyes cross so adorably, >> he snickers. << But... yes. Yes perhaps I shall. Perhaps I must. But explaining is *boring,* so boring. Ah! I shall tell you a story! Mortals *adore* stories, and you are mortal! Perfect! A story of stories! >>

As he draws his head, his front legs are suddenly a much more reasonable distance down his neck, and he crosses them with a cat's dignity.

<< There once was a man. ...There once were *many* men, it's true, but also there was *this* man. And there was no joy in his heart, for the story he had told himself was, all other men sought only to trick him, deceive him, steal from him. This man had much that mortals value, it's true! So the story of his world, of all that he could see, was that the things that he claimed as his, he could trust. And the things he did not claim, oh... those were the *worst* things, for if he allowed them to, they would rob him, hurt him, call him such names! This was the story he told himself, and he told it to himself for years upon years! Every other mortal he met, he would be sour to, and miserly, and *small.* >>

He-Who-Knows-What-He-Did lowers his head, hunching his shoulders as he casts an exaggeratedly worried look to Sabina.

<< And then the people began to call him such names! His story was true all along! *All along!* They found ways to inflict small hurts, small indignities, and oh! Oh, how the man spoke true! *Even more* meanness he must visit upon the people, to keep them in line! So make the true story a *good* true!* And then... oh little dreamer, then things began to *vanish* from his keeping. Oh oh oh, how the story was true! How the story was *always* true! Because a mortal man spoke the story into being! And a mortal man *decided* it was true! >>

The priestess magi has to smile when she's given the sad patronizing look but listens intently to the story all the same. She nods at the correct parts and tsks as the protagonist is stolen from. She then shakes her head a few times before saying,

"That is an interesting story, sir. I have the feeling that it's told from only one viewpoint. And that were another to speak the story it would reviel new 'truths'. My first teacher told me to not jump to conclusions but instead think for myself. That's worked out fairly well for me despite myself being foolish and mortal. One of his favorite sayings is, 'The truth is like a slipery fish. Every time you think you have a hold of it it slips through your grasp.'"

Sabina looks at the spirit creature and shrugs, "Just because I speak a thing does not make it true. Nor just believeing it. It's when I have faith that it becomes real. But usually only to me. Others have their own truths. So I don't see how I can assist you."

<< Assist? Assist? >> Once more the creature's body ripples with mirth. << Oh little dreamer, you listen but do not hear! How delightful! The story has a *moral,* you see, and the moral is 'Be careful what stories you tell, for if you tell a story convincingly enough, it *becomes* truth.' It was this very story that led me to you, after all! >>

Somehow, the grin grows wider, ever wider.

<< A thrum upon the ether do I sense, oh! I follow the direction it goes, and, oh, *oh!* There I spy a demon who makes play that she is mortal! She *tells herself this story,* of mortality! And so I must, I *must,* I must meet this teller of tales, this *writer of realities,* and I must see! And I do, I do! He-Who-Knows-What-He-Did *knows what you did!* >>

And the laughter returns, the creature's starry form practically *drumming* against the ground.

<< But do *you* know? Was it a-purpose, or a-meaning? Do *you* know what you did? >>

Sabina's smile fades into a frown for the first time as the being brings up Rupi into his conversation.

"I know what I /think/ I did. The outcome of my actions I don't yet know. I've been away from whom you are speaking of for a good span of time. A good span of time by mortal senses that is." She sighs and finds her smile again. "So. What is it that you know I did. Specificly."

And the mirth fades away, but the grin remains, and barely-concealed amusement quavers through the thing that serves as its voice. << When one tells a story that is not true, many things can happen, but two, yes, two are of the most immediate importance; will the story that is not true, be unmasked, and shown to be untrue? Or will the mask become the face, and the story be *made* true? >>

The creature leeeeans back down, head so large now that *one* of its empty eyes could swallow up the whole of the priestess. << The Bard King watches from on high, so high that he sees *all* shows, *all* stories, and cannot pay his heed to any one. He-Who-Knows-What-He-Did *likes* this story, little dreamer. He finds it *engrossing.* >>

There is a sense of motion without movement, and the stars zip past, the blank eye *swallowing* Sabina, and carrying her down into its depths.

There is an instant, half a heartbeat of time, where Sabina looks up, looks back, and sees a *seam* between the place where the stars end, and the eye begin.

Almost as if it were a mask, over an empty face.

<< And it is from the *close seats* that I shall watch. >>

*CRACK!*

Just above the TaRaCe, in the time that Sabina slept, rain-heavy clouds have gathered, and one singular, close snap of lightning heralds a sheeting downpour.

Bina startles awake, finding herself covered in a sheen of sweat from her near nightmare and dream. She sucks in a large breath and lets it out, sitting up from the bed and looking out the window to the storm.

She tries to play out the dream again in her mind. Fighting the fuzziness that often accompanies waking. She takes a moment to offer up a prayer to her God, asking for his guidance and mercy before getting to her feet and moving to the window to take in the air from the storm and cool off.

"The close seats. Does that mean I'm on the stage? Or that I'm in the cage?" She looks up into the storm again. "Where are you Rupi?"

Behind Sabina, there's a metallic *clink* of an object falling to the floor.

When Sabina turns to search out the source of that noise, a flash of lightning glints off of a curved, exquisitly-wrought plate of mythril.

...Well.

*Half* a plate of mythril. The mask seems to have been snapped down the middle, but there is no mistaking what it is, and who last it was given to.

And as Sabina is trying to make sense of the object being *here,* and *broken,* there is a voice in the back of her mind, distant and weak.

(( ...Sabina? ))

...

.....

...

(( I think I need your help... ))

The Stage Is Set

Nighttime over Alexandria, and the moon is high and full. The day has been balmy and clear, and the night has become just on the comfortable side of cool. In short, it has been the kind of weather that most people love, and poets despise; a calm, idyllic spring day, free of blemish or drama.

In the tavern below, the night's merriment has rambled to a close, the evening's cleaning finished, and the doors locked until the morrow. Quiet has descended over the TaRaCe, as the tavern hunkers down for the night.

But in Sabina's room, a lamp remains lit, for sleep is difficult to find.

The room is as tiny as she remembered. Just enough space for a cot, a chair and a small desk. Her pack tucked under the cot for the time being. Having been so long on the road the idea of unpacking it seems far more strange then it should and so she's left it.

Memmories of helping to make the TarRaCe and then her time running it are all too easy to summon up here. Thoughts with inevitably lead to the reasons she left.

She makes her lips curl into a smile dispite those memmories and hums softly to herself, trying to find something else to think about.

It's the kind of thing that philosophers and arcanists can talk about endlessly; why is it, that the more one tries not to think of something, that think looms ever larger in the thoughts?

The connection has remained, active and persistent, and over the months Sabina has felt a thrumming of emotion now and again, as if hearing a familiar voice over a distant hill. But little more than that, and one gets the feeling that it's deliberate.

That, after having upended Sabina's life, Rupi is trying to have as little impact as possible as she tries to sort out her own place in this new, hostile world.

For her part, Sabina has shared her emotions to the link. Not that she would know how to shield herself from it. They hadn't had the time to learn. And that thought causes a pang of sorrow to well up strongly. She pushes it back down and keeps her smile in place. One must always smile, Sabina. Always.

She reaches up to touch the upper portion of her face, almost expecting to find her missing mask there. The feel of digits touching cheek startles her still. She finds herself wondering if Rupi has sold it off to make her way or if she's wearing it and masquerading as Sabina. It wouldn't be the first time. They both agreed that Rupi should stop that particular action. But that was while she was in the city here. There are all sorts of needs and situations out there in the world beyond the walls.

Still humming she draws her knees up to her chest on the cot, eyes checking on the sleeping form of Emp not but a arms length away.

She blinks slowly. Has her link been open all this time? It is perhaps like the link of a mage and a familiar? That link she knows well.

Reaching out mentally she touches the connection, or tries too. Sending a questioning thought. "?"

GAME: Sabina rolls know/planes: (6)+know/planes: 6

GAME: Sabina rolls knowledge/planes: (18)+knowledge/planes: 18

GAME: Sabina rolls knowledge/the planes: (9)+8: 17

It's not... quite... the same. Rather, the link is similar in some ways, but in the way that perhaps the familiar might experience such a link; a tether to a being greater in scope, power, and imprint than one would reasonably be able to achieve in one's lifetime.

In other ways, however, it's quite a different thing. Being on the 'small' end of the tether, a simple, unformed question is not nearly a thought powerful enough to catch the 'currents' and reach the other side. THere's simply too much interference, mental, mystical, and otherwise, in the waking world.

As Eluna hangs silvery bright, visible through the small room's one window, standing watch over the dreaming minds, a thought bubbles to the surface of Sabina's mind.

If the waking world is too loud, busy, and crowded... What of the dreaming lands?

Sabina has had her share of dreams, both real waking world and while asleep. She ponders this new line of thinking. It's a suject she knows little about. There are spells, of course, to put one to sleep or to send someone dreams. But she's not learned much about the dream lands themselves. Where all dreams come from and end.

Her toes wriggle into the covers on the bed and she tries to recall what exactly she does know. If it were as easy as falling asleep then she'd likely have made contact in the past already. Her thoughts never stray too far from Rupi for long. Never more then a ten day for certain. Her desire to speak with Rupi would likely influence her dreams but real conversation is not something she's had in the past. That she remembers anyway.

It's a pretty puzzle, to be sure.

How does one influence a dream, when one's conscious mind is set adrift in the first place? How does one give direction to a drifting mind?

The lamplight flickers as a passing breeze curls into Sabina's apartment, carrying with it the scents of the city. Nearby flowers, the last vestiges of cooked food, a sour thread of spilled beer--

--and for just a moment, a faint curl of pipe tobacco.

Scent has always, ever, been deeply linked to memory.

And thus do memories begin to surface of the Temple, and Sabina's time as an acolyte. Of just beginning to learn Tairen's mysteries.

Ahh pipe smoke. The memmory of Darden's pipe smoke makes her smile in truth though her face never changes outwardly. The handsome lucht who found her after the strangers came and murdered her parents. How calm he was as he coaxed her out from under the wagon and the concealed comparment. His smile warm and kind. How he tried to ensure she didn't look back at momma and poppa. 'Just look my way, lass. That's a fine a girl. Come walk with me, eh?'

She giggles, eyes going to the window where the smells come from.

How lucky she was to have met Darden. The Lucht a wonderer and a priest of Tarien. He'd helped her get what little things she had to take from the wagon and took her away. It was he who taught her to smile again and what a wonderful thing smiles could be. A few years later he left her at one of Tarien's more grand temples to recieve the last of her training. The formal parts. Ahh how she missed him. And truth be told the temple as well.

It was in those final days of learning that she started talking to Tarien's statue. No mater the temple she would stop and have a chat with him. Listening and making conversation with the icon that didn't answer back. Not audibly anyway. And oh the stares she would get! The memmory of some of those concerned faces causes her to laugh still. And warm her heart that folks still stop to care.

Laughter, merriment, have always been cherished by followers of Tairen. But behind the laughter, there was always the lessons. Ever has Tairen sought to couch truth in the absurd, to make lessons out of misfortune, for the trickster has always couched truth behind jokes.

Sometimes, those truths are sweet things, that laughter is needed only to sand away the burrs that keep them from fitting in the mind. Sometimes, though, the truth is a bitter pill, and a touch of the absurd is necessary to make it palatable at all.

And the truth is, for all that she may be back home... She cannot, is not allowed to, return to the Temple where she served so faithfully. And she cannot do this, because of the very link she just tested. Because of who Rupi *is,* not who she wanted to be.

But is it a bad joke, or is it simply one she does not get?

What would Darden have thought, of this quest to give humanity to the inhuman? Mortality to the immortal?

The memmory of her mentor that day. Not too long before he dropped her off at the temple. A fine Fall day. Warm with a chill breeze. Leaves falling around them where they had stopped on the road. Darden's face a mask of fright and worry with a touch of anger.

"You can't make everyone smile, Sabby! It's not possible! The other emotions of the soul won't allow for it. The true smile is that which leaks from the soul, girl. Shown to all the world around you and lifting up those in need. You can't make people smile through their pain or mental hurt. Or their anger for that matter!"

Oh how she's laughed. Laughed until tears streamed down her face. How she's leaned over and cupped his cheeks in both hands and kissed him and whispered, "I bet I can." And how he'd weeped then and fallen quiet as they continued on the road.

She can imagine his reaction would be close to that if heard of Rupi and their connection. But also perhaps he'd hold a bit of pride as well. That she'd even attempt to redeem a demon at all. The absurd notion so very worthy of a laugh.

And, Sabina would learn, Darden was right to be angry then. Sabina would learn of the balance that must be walked, of the pitfalls of forced laughter. Joy may be the ideal, but it could never, *can* never be permament in a mortal heart. Every light must cast a shadow, after all, and an unceasing light gives rise to unwavering darkness.

Another breeze finds its way through a seam in the lampglass, curling just right to snuff out the little flame in its heart. And as the flame dies, and the room now lit only by silvery moonlight, a final memory surfaces; of the day of Sabina's Pact.

She sighs and aknoeledges that making people smile is so very hard at times. But she still tries. Smiles are what saved her after all.

She statles as the light goes out and then chuckles at herself. She looks around the room. This very room where she farmed the pact with Rupi. The succubus so lost and in pain at having lost her connection to her planar place. How they'd talked about what the rules were going to be. How Sabina told Rupi she desired nothing from the succubus other then her smile and her not harming people in the city unless attacked first. Rupi's request was only to stay with Sabina and learn of the depths of the mortal world in things not involving sex and betrayal. How each had taken turn under the needle of the other intention becoming tattoo that formed the mark of their link.

The link seems to heat with that memmory. The sexual feelings that tried to flood through while Rupi marked her. How she staved them off with laughter. And Rupi's tears that she tried to hide as the human emotions were sent back to her as the link was finished.

They lay down together in the cot, still clothed, quite and calm. Each feeling the link. Rupi's first to a mortal. And of course Bina's first ever.

"Why do you never ask me to join you in bed, Bina?" Sabina smiles at the moonlight and rembers her answer as if she'd just spoken it. "Because that's what they wanted you to do. Perhaps forced you to do. I just want you to be free. Truely free. And make your own choices about what you wish to do."

It's interesting, isn't it? The concept of freedom. When a person is free of all bonds, duties, obligations, the first thing they *do* is find something to bond them to. In that, at least, perhaps Rupi isn't *much* different from a mortal; cut off from her home, she seeks a means of binding herself to this plane. That it's *necessary* to continue living...? Doesn't make it any less of a fetter.

All beings, in the end, are slaves to survival.

And with this thought, those memories, swirling in her head, the night claims victory over consciousness...

And between one slow breath and the next, Sabina finds herself standing, on a vast plain lit only by an impossible number of stars. The air smells heavy with burgeoning rain, and the distant grumble of thunder wars with the more present creaks and buzzes of night-time insect life.

Then, from no particular direction, a series of yips swirl out of the starlit air.

Laughing?

Mocking?

Mourning?

Warning?

Welcoming?

Within the dream Sabina closes her eyes and breathes in deeply of the night air, tasting it on her tongue. The yips and sounds scare her at first. Humans being afraid of that they can't see and don't understand. But as they continue she settles down her heart and trieds to call forth a simple light spell. One shielded in her hands.

"Hello?" She says into the night. "Where am I?"

The dreaming world has its own laws of reality, it seems. When Sabina reaches for the power to fuel her spell, be it ever so simple, the mana just--

--isn't there. It's like reaching for your keys in the dark, and bumping your hand on the wall.

And the yips come faster, and now *definitely* sound like laughter. A rapid-fire

YIP YIP

YIP YIP YIP

YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP

that eventually just devolves into a wild cackle.

A brisk wind sweeps around the plain, bending the grasses in a skirling, swirling motion, picking up leaves and errant twigs and blades of grass as it leaps and frolics over the dreaming plain.

<< A light in the darkness, >> mutters a voice, << when all other lights fade? >>

The laughter returns, sweeping around and behind and above Sabina, carried on the wind.

<< Oh little dreamer, how can you hope to spark light with such frail tinder? >>

Sabina smiles as she does for almost every occasion. "How can you spark a light without hope?" She asks the voice in the dream, her sleeping mind still not understanding what is real and what is not.

"And frail tinder is better and then no tinder at all?" She stands still and does not try to reach for another spell.

"My I ask who you are? Where I am? Without the light to see I am forced to use senses other then sight. And humans are limited in that reguard. And so many others."

<< She may! >> cackles the voice. << She may open and close her mouth, and push air into words! Even in this dreaming plain, there are no muzzles to bind her actions! >>

With a merry hoot, the wind leaps upward, clattering and rustling and full of debris...

And the stars begin to follow in its wake. Tugged along in the wake of such a sprightly breeze, the glittering jewels that lit the sky tug, and pull, and clump. It's as if the heavens are a massive, dense thicket of burr-weed, and the laughing wind a dog gamboling through it.

And, indeed, the shape the stars begin to describe is canine... after a fashion. But long and sinuous, as much weasel as dog...

And the being continues to sweep and dance and roll among the stars, eventually picking out the shape of long, long limbs, ending in ridiculously tiny paws.

<< A light without hope? Ask the lightning! Ask old Storm-Crow what he hopes for! But ask him from under very thick stone! >>

Sabina's smile widens as the night comes to life as something other and yet seemingly familiar. She settles down to the ground and sits on her heels. A laugh escapes her as the being dances. "With all due respect I think I'll decline from asking him. I'm sure I won't like the answer very much." ,she giggles.

"Are you perhaps Tarien or one sent by him? Or maybe you are in disguise and seek to lead me astray. But then I'd just likely be dead instead of watching you dance, I'd think."

<< Tairen! >> laughs the starlit wind. << A name to conjure by! The Bard King! The Trickster, the Singer, the Oat-Meal Flinger! But this breeze would never presume to puff so mightily! No, little dreamer, insects as you or I are too fine to partake of the gods' notice. But what a fine disguise it would be, yes? >>

Enough stars stick to the creature's head, to pick out details, and--

--well--

--it's *like* a coyote, in the same way that a cloud is *like* a teddy bear. Ears that come to points, twice as tall as the head that holds them, a muzzle nearly as long as the ears are tall, and streaked by stars and nebulae, split by a grin that could be nothing more than an enthusiastic smear of jewelled paint.

But where its eye should be, is naught but a hollow void. No stars light those depths, and finally its sinuous windings end in a spiral that pours it back down onto the grass, that impossible head looming *uncomfortably* close.

<< But why would this one lead a little dreamer astray, I wonder? What could be gained from such a morsel? >>

Sabina leans back, likely to gain some space and to get a better look at this creature. "All sorts of creatures and beings lead one astray. To hunt and feed. To gain a secondary goal. For fun and sport. To teach. As for why you would want to do any of those things to me I can not guess. But I seem to be at your mercy." She grins again, "That said, I do like your smile. It reminds me of something..someoen. I just can't seem to remember."

She settles down and back from her heels to her rump before speaking again. "If you aren't Tarien then you must have another name that you are called. Unless you can't tell me because you are Fae of some sort? I am guessing you already know mine."

<< Names, >> the creature laughs. << Names! Fae jester I am not, but they *do* teach mortalkind a valuable lesson! >> Rearing back, the creature spreads its front paws, reaching up to the dark-smudged sky. << Never offer your name, or something greater than you *might take it.* >>

Falling back, it rolls around in giggles for a moment. << But mortals need names! They name every leaf and bug and cloud, for without names, is a thing a thing? I am! I am a thing! >>

Twisting up to its feet, the creature winds around Sabina, somehow stretching far enough to coil itself twice, and yet leave Sabina standing in a ten-foot circle of brightly lit grass. <>

Bina finches back and then forward as the creature wraps around her space, cutting her off from escape. At least now there is some light, though.

"He-Who-Knows-What-He-Did. A pleasure to meet you. And you're right. Humans and other races tend to name everything. Afix it or try to afix it in some sort of catagory. To understand what they're interacting with. A strength and a weakness both." She cants her head to one side and looks at where the creature's eyes should be. "What is it exactly that you did?"

<< NOTHING! >> the creature shrieks, falling into gales of laughter, its sinuous body rippling all along the coils that light the grass. When it finally recovers its mirth, it raises and twists its head, staring at Sabina upside-down.

Which makes it very, very difficult to tell if its upturned, toothy mouth is a grin, or a frown.

<< Or did I? She thinks perhaps I lie, so... maybe? Do I? Am I a liar, little dreamer? Will you spin a new existence for me, also? Knowing nothing of what came before? >>

Bina startles and blinks at He-Who-Knows when the roaring laughter takes place. She waits for him to settle down and gets wide eyed as he presents his head upside down. She has to fight the urge to try and turn her head to the side to make the sight more normal.

"Everyone has done /something/ unless you were nothing until I met you just now. And since you met me you've confused me, startled me, made me laugh and worry about my safety." She coughs and looks him in the eyes again.. "Would you explain what you mean by spin a new exhistance?"

<< You are mortal, little dreamer, >> the creature says with almost patronizing fondness. << There is no greater humor under the stars, than to watch a mortal try to think like a spirit. Your eyes cross so adorably, >> he snickers. << But... yes. Yes perhaps I shall. Perhaps I must. But explaining is *boring,* so boring. Ah! I shall tell you a story! Mortals *adore* stories, and you are mortal! Perfect! A story of stories! >>

As he draws his head, his front legs are suddenly a much more reasonable distance down his neck, and he crosses them with a cat's dignity.

<< There once was a man. ...There once were *many* men, it's true, but also there was *this* man. And there was no joy in his heart, for the story he had told himself was, all other men sought only to trick him, deceive him, steal from him. This man had much that mortals value, it's true! So the story of his world, of all that he could see, was that the things that he claimed as his, he could trust. And the things he did not claim, oh... those were the *worst* things, for if he allowed them to, they would rob him, hurt him, call him such names! This was the story he told himself, and he told it to himself for years upon years! Every other mortal he met, he would be sour to, and miserly, and *small.* >>

He-Who-Knows-What-He-Did lowers his head, hunching his shoulders as he casts an exaggeratedly worried look to Sabina.

<< And then the people began to call him such names! His story was true all along! *All along!* They found ways to inflict small hurts, small indignities, and oh! Oh, how the man spoke true! *Even more* meanness he must visit upon the people, to keep them in line!

Because a mortal man spoke the story into being! And a mortal man *decided* it was true! >>

The priestess magi has to smile when she's given the sad patronizing look but listens intently to the story all the same. She nods at the correct parts and tsks as the protagonist is stolen from. She then shakes her head a few times before saying,

"That is an interesting story, sir. I have the feeling that it's told from only one viewpoint. And that were another to speak the story it would reviel new 'truths'.

<< Assist? Assist? >> Once more the creature's body ripples with mirth. << Oh little dreamer, you listen but do not hear! How delightful! The story has a *moral,* you see, and the moral is 'Be careful what stories you tell, for if you tell a story convincingly enough, it *becomes* truth.

Somehow, the grin grows wider, ever wider.

<< A thrum upon the ether do I sense, oh! I follow the direction it goes, and, oh, *oh!* There I spy a demon who makes play that she is mortal! She *tells herself this story,* of mortality! And so I must, I *must,* I must meet this teller of tales, this *writer of realities,* and I must see! And I do, I do! He-Who-Knows-What-He-Did *knows what you did!* >>

And the laughter returns, the creature's starry form practically *drumming* against the ground.

<< But do *you* know? Was it a-purpose, or a-meaning? Do *you* know what you did? >>

Sabina's smile fades into a frown for the first time as the being brings up Rupi into his conversation.

"I know what I /think/ I did. The outcome of my actions I don't yet know. I've been away from whom you are speaking of for a good span of time. A good span of time by mortal senses that is." She sighs and finds her smile again. "So. What is it that you know I did. Specificly."

And the mirth fades away, but the grin remains, and barely-concealed amusement quavers through the thing that serves as its voice. << When one tells a story that is not true, many things can happen, but two, yes, two are of the most immediate importance; will the story that is not true, be unmasked, and shown to be untrue?

The creature leeeeans back down, head so large now that *one* of its empty eyes could swallow up the whole of the priestess. << The Bard King watches from on high, so high that he sees *all* shows, *all* stories, and cannot pay his heed to any one.

There is a sense of motion without movement, and the stars zip past, the blank eye *swallowing* Sabina, and carrying her down into its depths.

There is an instant, half a heartbeat of time, where Sabina looks up, looks back, and sees a *seam* between the place where the stars end, and the eye begin.

Almost as if it were a mask, over an empty face.

<< And it is from the *close seats* that I shall watch. >>

*CRACK!*

Just above the TaRaCe, in the time that Sabina slept, rain-heavy clouds have gathered, and one singular, close snap of lightning heralds a sheeting downpour.

Bina startles awake, finding herself covered in a sheen of sweat from her near nightmare and dream. She sucks in a large breath and lets it out, sitting up from the bed and looking out the window to the storm.

She tries to play out the dream again in her mind. Fighting the fuzziness that often accompanies waking. She takes a moment to offer up a prayer to her God, asking for his guidance and mercy before getting to her feet and moving to the window to take in the air from the storm and cool off.

"The close seats. Does that mean I'm on the stage? Or that I'm in the cage?" She looks up into the storm again. "Where are you Rupi?"

Behind Sabina, there's a metallic *clink* of an object falling to the floor.

When Sabina turns to search out the source of that noise, a flash of lightning glints off of a curved, exquisitly-wrought plate of mythril.

...Well.

*Half* a plate of mythril. The mask seems to have been snapped down the middle, but there is no mistaking what it is, and who last it was given to.

And as Sabina is trying to make sense of the object being *here,* and *broken,* there is a voice in the back of her mind, distant and weak.

(( ...Sabina? ))

...

.....

...

(( I think I need your help... ))

| style="background:#ccc;" valign="top"|[[image:rpp_limited.gif]]
|A character's story does not merely end in the moment they hit 20th level. The height of a character's progression in the class system is only the beginning for their rise into mythic status, becoming the figures that legends are written about.

Progression in this RPP spend is different compared to other RPP spends with tiers. '''In order to purchase T1 and beyond in the Mythic Paths system, you must be 20th level. Only one Tier in this RPP spend may be purchased per month.'''

==Mythic Feats==

There are three types of mythic feats: Magical, Combat, and Miscellaneous.

===Magical Mythic Feats===

{{TableMain}}
{{T01}}

{{T02}}
|Mythic Feat
|Description
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Alter Channel'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your grasp on divine energy is such that you can subvert those diametrically opposed to yours. Once per day, if you're within the area of an opponent's ''channel energy'' ability, and the energy type is the opposite of your ''channel energy'' ability, you can, as an immediate action, transform the opponent's channeled energy to your ''channel energy'' type. You can cause the altered energy to either affect the opposite type of the original targets (undead or living), or change whether it heals or harms, but not both. Channeled energy that has been changed with this feat heals or deals half the normal amount of damage.

For example, if an evil cleric attempts to channel negative energy to heal undead, you can use alter channel to convert that to channeled positive energy that either heals the living or harms undead. You must have the ''channel energy'' ability to select this feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Arcane Surge'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Within you lies a latent power that you can tap into to cast magic freely. Once per day, you can cast a spell without using a spell slot. This spell takes the normal amount of time to cast.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Bleed Holy Power'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |The power of your deity's gifts extends even to your very lifeforce. If you channel positive energy, when an undead creature damages you with a melee attack, you can expend one use of ''channel energy'' as an immediate action to ''channel energy'' to deal positive damage to undead creatures around you (as detailed in the ''channel energy'' ability). Alternatively, you may focus this channeled energy so it affects only the undead creature that hit you.

If you focus solely on the creature who hit you, you are considered 4 levels higher in the class that grants you the ''channel energy'' ability when determining its effects.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Bloodline Intensity''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |The gifts of your bloodline are bountiful. Select an additional bloodline feat that you meet the prerequisites for. You must have the bloodline class feature to select this feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Deep Understanding''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |The magic of your spellcasting tradition is now so instinctual that you recognize it immediately when it is cast from another's hands. You automatically can determine what spell that another creature is casting within 60 ft of you, provided that it is on your class's spell list and you are high enough level to cast it.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Elemental Bond''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You form a bond with the very concept of an elemental plane and become infused by its influence. Select an elemental type: air, earth, fire, or water. You gain DR/10 against your selected element.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Enduring Force''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You can draw on your magic to quickly defend yourself. As a swift action, you may enact a shield of force to protect yourself. This functions like the '''ring of force shield''', but the AC bonus is equal to your Tier in this RPP Spend.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Enhance Magic Item''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your mastery over magic is such that you can interact more deeply with magic items than others. When you use a magical item to cast a spell imbued within it, you may choose to expend a spell slot of an equal level to the spell to activate the item rather than expend the charge. This ability functions only for items that carry multiple spells like Staves or Wands, or items that allow the casting of a spell a number of times per day, like the '''Orb of Golden Heaven.''' Due to the fragile nature of Scrolls and Potions, this ability does not work with them.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Faith's Reach''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your gifts from your deity are no longer bound to their normal limits. Whenever you cast a touch range divine spell, you can instead cast the spell with a range of 30 ft of you. If the spell normally requires a melee touch attack, it instead requires a ranged touch attack.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Greater Familiar Link''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your connection to your familiar has deepened. When your familiar would normally take damage, you can choose to split this damage between your familiar and yourself. You must have a familiar to select this feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Mage Strike''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your spells are so potent that they break past some limits. When you cast a spell that does damage, the damage from this spell bypasses all damage reduction. Spell resistance and immunities still apply.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Mythic Bloodline''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your magic bloodline intensifies and manifests in new ways. When using a bloodline ability, treat yourself as being 4 levels higher. You must have the bloodline class feature to select this feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Mythic Bloodline II''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your magic bloodline reaches new heights of power. If you have a bloodline ability that can be used more than once per day, you gain extra uses of this ability equal to half your Tier in this RPP spend (minimum of one, rounded down). You must have the bloodline class feature and the Mythic Bloodline mythic feat to select this feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Overflowing Grace''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |The flow of your healing spells inspire those you heal to great serenity. When you heal a creature with positive energy (such as by channeling positive energy to heal the living, using ''cure'' spells, or using ''lay on hands''), any affected creature at full hit points (whether already at full hit points or healed to full hit points by your channeled energy) gains a +1 sacred bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for 1 minute.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Rapid Preparation''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your mind is so used to the preparation of magic that the process no longer takes you as long as it once did. You can prepare a spell in one minute rather than the fifteen minutes that it usually takes to prepare a spell.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Resilient Arcana''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your mastery over magic makes it far more difficult for your enemies to dispel your magic. Add your Tier in this RPP spend to the DC to dispel your spells.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Shout of Defiance''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You can channel holy energy into a righteous shout of defiance. As a standard action, you can expend one use of either ''channel energy'' or ''lay on hands'' to create a 100 ft radius of healing energy that originates from you. All allies within this radius heal a number of hit points equal to 1d6 plus a bonus that is double your Tier in this RPP spend.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Throw Spell''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are a master of pushing some of your spells past their typical limits of reach. Once per day, when you cast a melee touch attack spell, you can use that spell as a ranged touch attack. The range of the thrown spell becomes 10 ft per Tier in this RPP spend.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Transformative Familiar''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your bond with your familiar is so great that you can shape its very form. Your familiar is able to assume the shape of a single masterwork amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon. While it's in this form, treat the familiar as an intelligent magic item with the familiar‘s mental ability scores but no magical abilities. As a standard action, the familiar can transform into and out of its item form and does so in such a way that you can have it immediately equipped when the transformation is complete.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Wild Arcana''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Magic flows within you with wild abandon, and you only need to reach out to use it. Once per day, you can cast a spell as if it was affected by the Heightened Spell metamagic, but you instead expend the spell's original spell level slot.

|-

===Combat Mythic Feats===

{{TableMain}}
{{T01}}
| colspan="2" | Combat Mythic Feats
{{T02}}
|Mythic Feat
|Description
|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Aerial Assault'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You can charge at creatures in the air, or leap across obstacles as part of a charge. Once per day, when you make a charge attack, you can make an Acrobatics check to jump, adding 10 ft per your Tier in this RPP spend to the height or distance of your jump. You take no falling damage from the height gained as part of this leap. If your attack hits, you may deal an amount of additional damage that is equal to the falling damage appropriate for the height you reached. Alternatively, you may replace your melee attack from this charge with a grapple check. If you successfully grapple a creature, you bring it to the ground with you at the end of your jump, and it takes an appropriate amount of falling damage for the height it was at when you grappled it.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Advance'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your grasp on tactics means you can press a masterful assault. Once per day, you can inspire a tactical advance on the field of battle as a swift action. This allows you and each of your allies within 30 ft of you to take either a single move action of the character's choice or a 5 ft step, as long as you or your ally has the ability to take such an action (for example, an unconscious character still can't take an action). The action granted by this ability doesn't count toward the number or type of actions a creature is allowed to take on its turn.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Avenging Maneuver'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Taking grievous wounds only empowers you. Any creature that confirms a critical hit with a melee attack against you provokes an attack of opportunity from you. You can use this attack of opportunity only to attempt a bull rush, disarm, sunder, or trip combat maneuver check. You don't provoke attacks of opportunity for attempting this combat maneuver check.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Backlash''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You strike back at those who penetrate your defenses. Whenever an adjacent enemy confirms a critical hit against you, that enemy also provokes an attack of opportunity from you.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Blowback''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your strikes are capable of knocking back foes in a prodigious way. Once per day and as a standard action, you may make one melee or ranged attack at your full base attack bonus (BAB). If the attack hits, your foe is also knocked directly away from you a distance equal to 10 ft per your Tier in this RPP spend. If the foe strikes a solid object before reaching this distance, it takes 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage for every 10 ft it couldn't travel.

If the foe strikes another creature, both the foe and the creature it strikes take half this damage.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Clarion Call''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You bestow your wrath on your allies. Once per day and as a swift action, you may grant all allies within 30 ft of you the benefits of your active smite directed at the same opponent you're targeting with that ability. Only the constant effects from the smite ability are conferred with this ability, not the ones you can use only once. This ability lasts a number of rounds equal to your Tier in this RPP spend or until either the combat ends or the subject of the smite is dead or unconscious.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Deadly Dodge''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Thanks to your masterful skills of combat, you can anticipate what's coming and plot the perfect reaction. Once per day and as a swift action, you gain a +4 dodge bonus to your AC until the start of your next turn. During this time, whenever a creature misses on a melee attack against you, it provokes an attack of opportunity from you. You can choose to either take this attack of opportunity or force that creature to reroll the attack and change the target to a creature of your choice that is adjacent to you and within the attacker's reach. This reroll uses the same modifiers as the initial attack roll.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Deadly Guidance''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are able to point out the weak points in an enemy's defenses, and your allies benefit from your tactical insight. Once per day and as a swift action, you may designate a single opponent within 30 ft of you. All allies within 30 ft of that opponent gain the sneak attack ability when attacking it, and can thus deal +1d6 points of damage when flanking that opponent or when the opponent is otherwise denied its Dexterity bonus to AC. This sneak attack damage stacks with sneak attack damage from other sources. This ability lasts a number of rounds equal to half your Tier in this RPP spend (minimum of 1, rounded down).

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Decisive Strike''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |As a legendary hero, your command is inspirational. Once a day and as a swift action, you may give one ally within 30 ft of you the ability to immediately make a single melee or ranged attack on your turn. Add your Tier in this RPP spend as a bonus on the attack roll.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Devastating Smash''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your blows are of folkloric levels of destruction. Whenever you attack a construct or object, treat its hardness (or damage reduction in the case of constructs) as 10 less hardness than normal. Add your Tier in this RPP spend to damage rolls against constructs and objects.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Distant Barrage''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your ability to take down enemies from afar is unmatched. Once per day and as a swift action, you may make a ranged attack at your highest attack bonus. This is in addition to any other attacks you make this round.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Down Like Dominoes''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |If you take down one foe, then you take down others with them. When you successfully trip a foe, you can attempt an additional trip attack as a free action against a creature adjacent to the first foe tripped at a –4 penalty.

The adjacent creature must be no more than one size category larger than the creature you just tripped. If this second trip is successful, you can continue to attempt to trip creatures as long as they are adjacent to the last one successfully tripped, taking a cumulative –4 penalty on each trip attempt after the first. In a round, you can use this ability to trip a number of creatures equal to half your Tier in this RPP spend, rounded down, and only until your first failed trip attempt. You don't provoke attacks of opportunity for tripping additional foes with this ability, and if you fail a trip attempt after the first, you don't trip yourself.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Draw Fire''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your reputation as a legendary hero can draw attacks away from your allies. As an immediate action, when an ally within 30 ft of you is targeted with a ranged weapon attack, you can have that attack target you instead. If you would normally be out of range for that attack, the attack is able to hit you as if you were at maximum range.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Endless Hatred''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your knowledge of your enemy can be amplified by your hate into deadly strikes. Once per day and as a free action, you can increase all of your ''favored enemy'' bonuses by 2 for 1 minute. When you use this ability, any attacks you make against a ''favored enemy'' bypass all damage reduction for the rest of your turn. You must have the ''favored enemy'' class feature to select this feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Empathic Healing''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your mastery of healing means you also know how to reroute the currents of the magic flow. Once per day, you can transfer up to 10 points of damage per your Tier in this RPP spend from a touched ally to yourself, healing the target and damaging you. This transferred damage bypasses all effects that reduce or negate hit point damage, such as damage reduction.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Ever Ready''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are preternaturally ready for the next opportunity in combat. Whenever you make an attack of opportunity, you gain a bonus on the attack and damage rolls equal to your Tier in this RPP spend. You can make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed, even if you don't have the Combat Reflexes feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Fast Healing''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Wounds mean little to you. Once per day and as a swift action, you may gain fast healing 5 for 1 minute.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Flash of Rage''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Anger is a state of mind that you slip into with ease. Whenever you or an ally within 30 ft of you is struck by a critical hit, you can enter a rage as a free action on your next turn. This rage functions as the barbarian class feature, and lasts a number of rounds equal to your Tier in this RPP spend. You aren't fatigued after this rage. If you have the rage class feature, these rounds don't count toward your daily uses of that ability and these rounds of rage don't count toward the total number of rounds of rage used when determining how long you are fatigued. Rounds of rage granted by this ability don't stack, but the duration is reset if another critical hit occurs.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Guardian's Shout''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your warning shouts keep allies from danger. Whenever you attempt a Reflex save to avoid an effect that affects multiple creatures, you can call out a warning to your allies. Any allies within 100 ft of you who can hear you gain a bonus equal to your Tier in this RPP spend on their saving throws against that effect.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Juggernaut''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |When you put your mind to something and your body in motion, you are nigh unstoppable. While charging, you may attempt a free Strength check to break through a single door or wall in your path. Once per day, while performing this charge, you may gain a +10 circumstance bonus on your Strength check to break the object. If you destroy the object, you can continue your charge as though it were never there. If you fail to destroy the object, your movement ends in the square before that object.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Meat Shield''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You can use a creature you're grappling to protect you from harm. If you're grappling a creature and are attacked with a melee or ranged attack, you can attempt a grapple combat maneuver check against your grappled opponent as an immediate action. If you succeed, the incoming attack targets your grappled opponent instead of you. If you fail, the grappled opponent breaks free from the grapple, and the incoming attack targets you as normal.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Mounted Maniac''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |While atop your steed, you strike terror into the hearts of all who behold you and oppose you. Whenever you charge a creature while mounted, you can attempt an Intimidate check to demoralize all enemies within 30 ft of your target, adding your Tier in this RPP spend to the result of the check. Once per day, any creature demoralized by this ability is frightened instead of shaken. The duration of this condition is dependent upon your check, as noted in the Intimidate skill.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Mule's Strength''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are extraordinarily strong to the point where you can carry what would crush others. You treat your Strength score as 5 higher when determining your carrying capacity. This bonus applies to encumbrance, the maximum weight you can lift over your head, dragging and pushing, and so on.

You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you treat your Strength score as an additional 5 points higher when determining your carrying capacity.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Mythic Domain''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |
Your devotion to your god is such that your gifts from your deity are stronger than others. When determining the effects of your domain's granted powers, you're considered 4 levels higher. This increases the effects of powers you have access to, but doesn't grant you powers at a lower level than normal.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Mythic Smite''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your commitment to defeating all that is evil in the world and beyond is rewarded by your god. As a free action and once per day, you can regain one use of your ''smite evil'' ability. For the rest of your turn, your successful attacks against evil creatures bypass all damage reduction. You must have the ''smite evil'' class feature to select this feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Painful Gambit''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Facing off against you is never a safe option when your allies stand beside you. When you are hit by an attack of opportunity, once per day and as an immediate action, you allow all of your allies to make an attack of opportunity against the creature that attacked you if it's within their melee reach.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Punishing Blow''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your attacks interrupt your opponents' defenses. Any opponent you hit with a melee or ranged attack loses the benefits of regeneration and fast healing for 1 round. In addition, if you score a critical hit against the target, it loses the benefit of its damage reduction for 1 round.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Ranged Disarm''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You can use a ranged attack to disarm an opponent. Attempt a disarm combat maneuver check that uses your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier and add your Tier in this RPP spend to the roll. (Using this ability doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity.) If your attack is successful, your target drops one item of your choice that it is carrying, even if the item is wielded with two hands. If your attack exceeds the CMD of the target by 10 or more, the target drops the items it is carrying in both hands (with a maximum of two items if the target has more than two hands). Unlike with a melee disarm, failing the attack by 10 or more doesn't make you drop your weapon, and you can't automatically pick up the item dropped.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Relentless Healing''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You can restore life to the recently dead. If a creature has died within 1 round, once per day and as a free action, you can bring the dead creature back to life by casting a healing spell or by using a class feature that heals damage on the dead creature.

If this healing brings the creature's hit points above the threshold for death, it comes back to life and stabilizes at its new hit point total (similar to the way ''breath of life'' functions); otherwise, it remains dead.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Ricochet''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You're capable of rather lethal forms of geometry. Whenever a creature has cover from your ranged attack, you can deflect the shot off a nearby surface, treating that surface as the origin point of the attack to determine whether the target receives a cover bonus to its AC. You can use this ability to attack a creature with total concealment from you if you know what square it occupies, but the attack still has a 50% miss chance.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Sacrificial Shield''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You understand how to use your shield to its fullest potential. Once per round and when you would normally be hit by a weapon attack, you can use your shield to block the attack. You must be using a shield in order to use this ability. Subtract your shield's hardness and hit points from the damage of the attack and apply the remaining damage to your hit points. If the shield takes enough damage to destroy it, it's destroyed. Otherwise, the shield gains the broken condition, even if the damage was not enough to give it the broken condition under other circumstances.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Sniper's Riposte''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |
You're an expert at defending yourself while aiming a ranged weapon. You don't provoke attacks of opportunity from making ranged attacks.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Smiting Aura''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |The power granted to you by your deity to ''smite evil'' can extend into a force of personality around you. Once per day and when you use your smite ability, you may create an aura with a 20 ft radius centered on you that lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Tier in this RPP spend. Any evil creature that starts its turn in or moves into this area takes a number of points of damage equal to your Tier in this RPP spend. This damage comes from holy power, and is not affected by damage reduction or energy resistance. You must have the ''smite evil'' class ability to select this feat.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Strong Attack''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are able to deliver a strong and punishing blow in addition to your regular onslaught. As a swift action and once per day, you may make a melee attack at your highest attack bonus. This is in addition to any other attacks you make this round. This one attack bypasses all damage reduction.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Sudden Block''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your instinctual reaction to defend another is the stuff that story-defining moments are made of. As an immediate action and once per day, you may hinder a melee attack made against you or an adjacent ally. Add your Tier in this RPP spend to your AC or your ally's AC against this attack.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Titan's Bane''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |No matter how large your foe, you can bring them down. You can move through the space of any creature two or more size categories larger than you without provoking attacks of opportunity with a successful athletics roll, and you can share such a creature's space. When sharing a larger opponent's space, you gain cover against all melee and ranged attacks made by the creature.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Uncanny Grapple''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |None can escape your grasp, nor what you decide to do with your enemies once you have seized them. Upon making a successful grapple combat maneuver check against a creature you are grappling, you can perform one of the following actions: throw, crush, or swing. For a throw action, you can throw the target of your grapple up to 10 ft per your Tier in this RPP spend; if the creature strikes a solid object before reaching this distance, it takes 1d6 points of damage per 10 ft of the remaining throwing distance and lands prone. For a crush action, you deal 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per your Tier in this RPP spend.

For a swing action, you can use the target as a weapon against another creature, treating the grappled creature as a two handed weapon. If you succeed at a melee attack against an opponent adjacent to the target, both that opponent and the grappled creature take 1d8 points of bludgeoning damage from this attack + a bonus that is 1.5 × your Strength modifier.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Affliction Resistance'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your body is honed to fight off even the most virulent illnesses.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Commanding Presence'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your existence anywhere you tread commands all before you. When you first enter an area or make your presence known to a group of strangers, once per day and as a free action, you may attempt a single Diplomacy or Intimidate check to modify the attitudes of everyone within a radius that is 10 ft per your Tier in this RPP spend of you and an additional number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier who are outside of that range but can see you.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Flash of Omnipotence'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Well-rewarded is the well-studied mind, and yours is no exception to this rule. Once per day, you can use your vast knowledge to ask yourself a question and have a chance of knowing a thing. The base chance for a correct answer is 70% + your Tier in this RPP spend (with a maximum chance of 80%). The knowledge, as it is yours, is never vague. You may only use this ability once per question.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Focus'''||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your mighty and inspiring presence enhances the power of your companions' heroic rises into legend. Whenever an ally that is within 30 ft of you uses the ''epic rise'' ability, the ally rolls its bonus die twice and takes the higher result.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Greater Rise''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your ''epic rise'' is more powerful than most. Treat your Tier in this RPP spend as if it were 3 tiers higher for the purpose of determining your ''epic rise'' die (with a maximum of T10). When you purchase T10 in this RPP spend, your ''epic rise'' die becomes 2d8.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Helpful Rebuke''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are quick with stern yet helpful words of advice. Whenever an ally within line of sight fails a skill check with a skill you're trained in, once per day and as an immediate action, you can allow that ally to reroll that skill check with a bonus equal to your Tier in this RPP spend. If the new roll is successful, your ally succeeds at that check instead of failing it. The ally who failed the skill check must be able to see and hear you to gain this reroll.

|-

You must first successfully hit a foe with an unarmed strike, natural weapon, or melee touch attack to make contact, then use this ability as a free action to immediately learn the foe's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Inspired Defense''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your performances inspire all who hear them to bolster their defenses. Whenever you use ''bardic performance'' to ''inspire courage'', the competence bonus against charm and fear effects from the ''inspire courage'' ability instead applies to all saving throws.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Inspiring Rise''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your ''epic rise'' inspires non-mythic allies to greater acts of martial daring. Each time you use your ''epic rise'' ability, each ally without purchased Tiers in this RPP spend within a 30 ft radius of you gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls for the next weapon attack they make before the start of your next turn. An ally must be able to see and hear you to gain the bonus.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Irrepressible Soul''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your true self can't be buried beneath disguises or magical effects. Once per day, you may attempt to end one effect that is currently affecting you. When you use this ability, you make an additional saving throw against the effect at its original DC, even if one would not normally be allowed. This ability can end only polymorph effects, charm and compulsion effects, domination effects, illusion effects that change your appearance, and any effects that control or conceal your true identity. If you succeed at the second saving throw, the effect immediately ends.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Insightful Interaction''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Your insight is uncannily accurate in many things. Add half your Tier in this RPP spend, rounded down, to Wisdom-based skill checks in which you are trained.

Additionally, once per day, you can use your Wisdom modifier plus half your Tier in this RPP spend, rounded down, in place of your Charisma modifier for Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks for 1 hour.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Knowledgeable Guardian''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are wise and learned in the matters of guarding mortalkind against the creatures that would prey on them. Add double your Tier in this RPP spend as a bonus on Knowledge checks you attempt to identify monsters, including checks made to learn any special powers and vulnerabilities.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Lend Power''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are an invaluable asset to your comrades. Once per day and as an immediate action, you have the ability to grant the benefit of your ''epic rise'' ability to an ally with purchased Tiers in this RPP spend within a 30 ft radius of yourself. The ally uses your ''epic rise'' die.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Menacing Presence''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Something about you puts others on edge. You can attempt an Intimidate check to influence a creature's attitude as full-round action instead of it taking 1 minute. In combat, you can attempt an Intimidate check to demoralize an opponent as a move action.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Perfect Aid''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Whether by divine touch or simply years of experience, your aid tends to be timelier, more welcome, and more effective than others. Whenever you successfully use the aid another action, your ally also adds your Tier in this RPP spend to the aid another bonus. If you use your ''epic rise'' ability on the aid another roll, add the result of the ''epic rise'' die to this bonus as well.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Quick Recovery''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You're never kept down for very long, perhaps by the sheer will of your determination. Whenever you are dazed, dazzled, deafened, sickened, or stunned, reduce the duration of that condition by half, rounded down (to a minimum of 1 round). Any other effects relating to the source of that condition are unaffected; for example, if you are panicked and sickened from an ''eyebite'' spell, the panicked effect has the normal duration, even though you are sickened for only half as long.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Rally''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |You are the leader that leaders look up to. As a swift action and once per day, you may rally your allies. This gives you and each of your allies within a 30 ft radius of yourself the option to reroll any one d20 roll after the roll is made. The granted reroll must be used before the beginning of your next turn, and the creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it is lower.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Stand Tall''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |So long as you are around, none who stand with you shall falter. Before you attempt a saving throw against a spell or effect that also targets one or more allies within a 30 ft radius of yourself, once per day and as an immediate action, you allow your allies to use your saving throw result or their own, whichever is higher.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Supreme Tracker''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |No wing nor cloven hoof can stay your hunt once it has begun. If you have something that carries a creature's scent (such as a personal item or piece of flesh), once per day, you may create a supernatural bond that allows you to track that individual.

As a free action, you can sense the creature's general direction and distance, as well as know whether it is alive, dead, destroyed, dying, or undead. The creature must be on the same plane as you for this ability to function. If they are not, you automatically know that they are on another plane.

|-
|style="vertical-align:top;" |'''Wall Run''' ||style="border-bottom:1px solid; border-color:#8dbdbd;" |Wherever you go, a floor is only just one of several options. When you move, you can travel across vertical surfaces as if they were floors. If your movement doesn't end on a horizontal surface, you fall at the end of your move unless you are able to remain in place using another ability (such as using the Climb skill to cling to a handhold). The vertical surface must be capable of supporting your weight—for example, you couldn't move across a windowpane or curtain.

==Log Info==

*Title: Proposal Unproposed

*Characters: [[Seldan]], [[Magpie]]

*Place: Society for Progressive Arcanists, Study Room Four</div>

While it's not uncommon for Seldan to get requests to consult with the Society, perhaps it might be interesting enough that this request in particular, come bearing the name 'Magpie,' the chattery gnome who'd accompanied the expedition into the sewers. It seems she's asking to discuss the events in the sewers, and propose a plan of action.

'Lunch will be provided.' was the last item on the request, so... At least if nothing else, there'll be a meal?

The request also notes to ask the front desk about 'Study Room Four,' and a key will be provided.

This was one request that Seldan had been expecting, if one is honest. One does not see something like that, and have questions. Still, he has news for this one as well, and so he is relatively prompt, asking the golem at the desk about meeting "Magpie" in "Study Room 4". As is his usual wont when dealing with the Society, the heavy armor is traded for shirt and trousers beneath a blue and silver embroidered open-front robe, and no visible weaponry, only the knapsack.

The directions are fairly easy to follow, and upon opening the door to the massive table, Seldan is greeted with... a sight.

It seems the gnome in question took the 'proposal' part of this proposal seriously. Perhaps too seriously. At one end of the room is a large rolling blackboard, covered in equations and sigils and the occasional doodle of a monster face going GRRRR, flanked by piles of books in a system that has a passing nod to organization. On a rolling ladder, Magpie herself is writing on the only blank corner of the slate. On the side fo the table nearest the board, three plates bearing piles of baked goods, a self-heating teapot, and a magically-cooled ewer of water, with two mugs of equal size next to them.

Looking over her shoulder, Magpie grins as Seldan enters the room. "Oh hi, you came! Awesome! I was *hoping,* but I would have understood if you were busy, there's a lot of weird stuff going on and I appreciate you taking the time."

"Her light upon your path," Seldan greets, inclining his head and closing the door behind him with a quiet *click*. He pauses, then, surveying the arrangements, the blackboard full, the plates full. "You have arranged for quite the gathering," he observes with no heat and a small smile. "Still would I hear your thoughts, although I, too, bear news on the matter."

He makes his way towards the chairs and table, those few steps, and sets his knapsack down next to the table. "This matter is of great import indeed."

At the remark, Magpie colors, though it's difficult to tell if the flush is out of embarrassment or pleasure. "Well I mean... Honestly, Ser, Iunno if you're aware, but like... you're kind of a big deal, to some of us. It comes and goes, but you've got *fans,* and you're probably the most famous person I've ever talked to." Shrugging, she gesticulates vaguely toward the room and the available material. "...So I'm taking this seriously."

"Anyway, grab a plate, I didn't know what you liked so there's a little of everything there, and I'm planning on handing out whatever we don't eat anyway so don't feel obliged to eat everything! Also, I wanted to reassure you; what I'm about to propose is a bad, weird idea, and I understand that. But like... I *know* it's not a great idea, which if you've dealt with wizards for any length of time, you know I've got a head start on making it *safe,* right?"

Seldan draws a deep, slow breath and lets it out, his eyes lowering. "That do I know. I strive only to make use of the fact to aid who I may. I am - not so great as many would believe." He seats himself on the chair and takes one of the pastries, with a small, almost shy smile, taking a small bite out of the corner. "It is well that you regard this seriously. Let us hear your proposal, though I bear tidings that may change your plan.'

"...That's a whole other argument I'm not really prepared to refute," Magpie says after a beat, Seldan -- predictably, considering -- downplays his own achievments. "But anyway, the sewer circle. I'd had this idea, that if we could map it out and study it, we could decipher exactly *how* it's constructed. At first, I was planning on maybe taking it down, but when we learned how *big* it was, well... There's a non-zero possibility that obliterating it would break something structural, and drop the whole city into the Sewers, and that's... not a consequence I'm comfortable risking, right? But, turns out it regenerates. And, well, I guess it regenerated an entire *guardian,* so, like... *That's* something that needs fixing. But a thought occurred to me; if it can fix itself, it has to have knowledge of its entire structure, right?"

"Even so. Go on." Seldan continues to nibble at the pastry. From the way he eats, it's very clear that the man was gently raised. He catches crumbs in his hand, takes small bites, and takes his time with it.

"So if it knows its entire structure... What if we could *change what it knows?*" Magpie says... honestly not even really gesturing toward the blackboard at all, leading to the suspicion that none of it is there to do anything but look complicated and impressive. This is a gnome who has *definitely* prepare a grant proposal at least once.

"If we can figure out how to do that -- And I'm not gonna lie, I'm gonna need way better minds than mine working on it -- but if we can figure it out, we could do *so much.* Currently, there's a really big problem with a demon lord I'm trying to help a friend of mine solve, and like... a binding circle that would suck him into a marble the moment he stepped foot on city territory sounds *really* helpful."

"Then do I fear that I must disappoint you." Seldan's smile has faded, and he finishes the last bite of his pastry, although he has listened carefully. "For well do I know this circle, its intent, and its maker. Will you hear my tale? Some of it is new, for but recently did I venture to speak with its maker on the matter, and some things did she reveal to me, of its nature."

He does not take another pastry, instead regarding the gnome with a steady, even gaze.

At this news, the gnome blinks, then again, and once more. "...Oh," she says, excitement fading from her voice. "Oh wow that sounds bad. Um..."

Hop. Hop. Hop, and onto the floor she lands, toddling to the chair across from Seldan and scaling it. Reaching across the table, she grabs an egg-and-bacon hand pie, and pours herself a mug of tea. "Okay... lay it on me."

"The original creator of the circle you have discovered was the fae queen known as the Endless Winter, who took command of a tower that permitted her to travel back in time. Thus did she build the circle even as the city itself was being built. to span the whole of the city. This did she do as part of an alliance with the Duke of the Hells known as Eclavdran, whose likeness you saw in the sewers." Seldan's storytelling is steady in tone, but thoughtful, and a touch distant, as one remembering - no, reminiscing.

"I ventured to speak with her, recently. Few did I speak to of this venture, for the village where she resides fears mortals, and a large group would have frightened them. I am known to her, and to them, and thus posed but little risk. In truth was I uncertain that I could not be attacked on sight."

He pauses, then continues. "She tells me that Eclavdran bade her create that simulacrum as a blank canvas, that he might shape it and give it power as he willed. It is built of her power, of a part of herself. She has given her word that she will release the circle, will make it no more, and this is she capable of doing, but she cannot unmake what Eclavdran has done. This have I told her that I shall do in return, that her power might be returned to her."

His eyes lower. "A summoning circle must be built to one purpose, or to the other, when it is scribed, and cannot be altered once chosen. This, too, would I have you know. When the circle is unmade, anything summoned using it will be unbound and unnamed. Know you whether it has ben used?"

"Oh... Oooooh," Magpie says during the explanation, and it's clear from the way her eyes flick back and forth, that she's working through the ramifications of everything she's being told. "*Oh.* Well. ....Well, dammit." Loosing a long and disappointed sigh, the gnome removes her copper headdress, and rakes a hand through her hair. "I don't... *think* it's been used? But if that's the case..."

Taking a deep breath, she looks up, and tilts her head. "You've heard about the Nightmare cults running around, right?"

"That I have. I know something of the totems, though I no longer hold one." Seldan regards Magpie steadily and with sober consideration, and a small smile of understanding. "It is a matter to which I have not been able to turn my attention. But, you mentioned a friend opposing a demon lord. Is this connected?"

"Hoo boy, yeah," Magpie says, tipping her head back and working hard to empty her mug for a few moments. "So... turns out the cults are, like, trying to pull in an avatar of Caracoroth onto the world. And the demon lord I'm talking about? He's working for a patron, who apparently wants to *possess the avatar* the moment it comes into the world. So, like, think about that for a second; a demon of unknown identity or provenance, known only as V, with the power of the God of Nightmares."

Seldan's answering smile fades, but he does not flinch. "A prospect not to be considered," he murmurs quietly. "How may I be of aid to you in this?" His eyes lower. _I thought She said others were looking to this. No matter. I shall do as I must._ His eyes lift again, and he waits for the answer.

For a long, long moment, Magpie sits back, seriously considering the answer to that question. "...Honestly?" she says, upon the demise of a second pastry, "I don't know. We've got a lot of people working on this, and I don't have all their information. So anything I told you right now would be incomplete, and that's a *bad* idea. So... keep a look out, I guess, and would it be okay to call on you if things spin *way* out of hand?"

Seldan inclines his head, internally letting out a breath of relief. "You are wise indeed, to so state. Do not short yourself. This shall I offer you, in the matter of conquering a demon lord. Strike no deals, and think not that you will trick them, for too oft are their webs within webs, and it is all too easy to find oneself ensnared. This error have I seen others make, and this error did I myself make. Only through much effort and risk, and with the aid of Tanithariairisixchel and others, do I sit before you now," he explains. "Eclavdran was a foe not lightly destroyed, and yet do his minions pursue me." This draws a quiet chuckle. "It is not in my mind that there shall be an end too such. In the service of the Light does one make enemies. So be it. The price is small enough."

He picks up a second pastry. "Share, then, with those with whom you stand. The circle shall be destroyed, but the guardian will need a separate effort. That shall I myself lead, and until it is done, the sewers remain unsafe. A - loose end of my war with the Endless Winter, and that am I pleased to unburden you from. I would have you and yours be watchful of anything that the circle's unmaking might release."

He pauses a moment, then adds, "The circle does indeed regenerate those tied to it, and the Endless Winter explained why that is so. A leftover magical effect from her attack upon Alexandria."

"...'Those tied to it?'" Magpie echoes, brow furrowing. "So just that echo, or... Oh boy. Does that mean there's more than one thing down there? I... no, no, that's just curiosity. Stay on task, Magpie... Okay. Okay. *Okay.* Yeah. Don't worry, I don't plan to have much at all to do with demons of any kind. Mostly because I happen to know a master diabolist -- mostly on the research side, mind -- and what happened to *him* is a great cautionary tale."

Sitting back, the gnome sips at her tea, considering. "So in the meantime, I'm gonna go over to Explorer's, and let them know to make the sewers off-limits until you're done. I mean, if absolutely nothing else, it'll be best not to have us little baby ducklings underfoot while you're working, right?" This, said with a self-deprecating grin, and an utter lack of rancor. Just a funny little joke at her own expense! "...And now I think about it, my idea was *super* bad considering it'd be hijacking a Fae Queen's power. I'm... not that reckless that I want to see how *that'd* fall out."

"It is my hope that it is but the one." Seldan's self-deprecating smile is gone. "That will be quite enough. Do I learn that there are more, you shall know." He pauses, a moment. "It comes to me that the demons that destroyed Lord and Lady Lupecyll-Atlon's house may be one such, for once were they likely minions of Eclavdran themselves. They knew myself and Mal far too well to be otherwise. That shall we learn."

The joke, though, earns her lowered eyes. "I mean no insult. Eclavdran was among the very mightiest of archfiends, one of the Lords of Hell. Never could I have hoped to best or destroy him with force of arms. This simulacrum is much diminished in power, and even so do I not regard it lightly. Never would I pit anyone against a foe I know to be beyond their strength, for naught do we learn by a journey to the Halls. Instead would I have you take on other challenges within your strength, and learn and grown, even as I did."

"Oh no, that's no insult!" Magpie rushes to say. "I mean, like... down in the sewers? Simony and I were *terrified,* there was no way we were ever gonna be able to handle that thing. I just don't want you guys to have to worry about splitting focus, you know?"

Trailing off, Magpie gets an unfocused look in her eyes for one moment. "Wait... Eclavdran was a Lord of Hell. And he's dead, right? Like, super-all-the-way dead?"

"Even so." Seldan inclines his head, taking a bite out of the second pastry. "Not lightly was he destroyed, but I angered him enough for him to attempt to catch me in a soul trap. In so doing did he expose himself, which made it possible for my allies to turn the soul trap upon him, and destroy his soul utterly. The victory was not without price, and yet do I think it complete." Again, he downplays what it must have taken to do that. "He is no more. His minions are yet troublesome, and that, I think, shall always be so."

"Again do I think you wise, for not demanding to attempt that which is beyond you. I do not doubt that there are yet other dangers in the sewers, and a demon lord is no light foe. Think yourself not small for opposing one." A moment's thought, and he adds, "You may be best served to locate the demon lord's summoners. Demons have no means of reaching this plane on their own."

"That's what a lot of us are doing," Magpie says, bobbing her head. "Mostly my job is to try and figure out ways to make sure Jal'goroth, the Lord I was talking about, is put down just as completely. You said you turned his soul trap against him... You wouldn't be able to sketch out *how* you did that, would you?"

Seldan closes his eyes, and lowers them. "He corrupted an artifact of Eluna and used it to attempt to trap me," Seldan murmurs. "Soul-to-soul contact with a demon lord - is not without price. I - had atonements to make, for that. Never would I ask or suggest that any other willingly do so. I - used his trap against him. It may be that this demon lord of which you speak - might be similarly arrogant, but - not in the same way. This would I suggest to you. Learn as much of his strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes as you may. No two of these demon lords are the same, and in that wisdom might lurk an answer."

"...Hm," Magpie says, frowning. "No, that's a good point."

By this point, she has a notebook out in front of her, and is scribbling away madly in what *must* be shorthand. "Honestly thanks anyway, it's best to rule out anything *completely* stupid unless it's absolutely desperate. Which it's not, yet. So... hm. I... can't think of any other good questions at the moment, but... Seriously, Ser Seldan, you have *no idea* how much I appreciate all of this."

This is hardly the first time that someone has broken out the writing tools while listening to him, and so Seldan merely waits patiently while she does this, letting her write what she will. "What form does this creature take? Do I spot it within the walls, I shall engage it, for so am I called to do."

"So far as we've been able to determine," Magpie says, putting the stylus down and tipping back the last of her tea, "that's another point this gets weird; he's a gelugon, an ice devil, and he's commanding devils *and* demons. Which makes you wonder, literally what in the Hells is going on there? And he's not even the *boss* in all this!"

That earns Magpie a _stare_. "One creature is commanding devils _and_ demons?" he repeats, very slowly, lowering the pastry he had been eating. "Tread with caution, indeed, for any who can keep them from setting on the other is a mighty one. Such is written in the ancient lore." His eyes lower. "You have no small task before you. Such cannot be taken down by force of arms. Seek what information you may on them. Learn their weaknesses, and means by which they may be caught un awares.

"Defintiely," Magpie agrees, bobbing her head with vigor. "But dammit, it's a *worthwhile* job all the same. The problem is, this one is just *slippery,* it's hard to find out anything about him specifically. Working on it, though! Just need a real lead. I've got my teeth in it though, don't you worry."

"Good. Call upon me, if I may be of aid, and I shall assist as I may. My work takes me away from the city at times." Seldan, sensing dismissal, starts to rise from his chair, pastry still in mind. "Would you aught else of me?"

"I'll be sure to," Magpie says... and then climbs up on the table to cross over, and extend her hand and smile at the paladin at eye level. "Nothing else I can think of right now, and I'll let you know if that changes. And... Seriously. Thanks. This means a lot to me, and I'd be *crushed* if I'd found a way to go ahead with this plan and have the whole circle dissolve underneath me. It was an honest pleasure to talk to you."

*'''Title''': Lunch Buddies

*'''Characters''': [[Magpie]], [[Simony]]

*'''Place''': Lower Alexandria Market District / Fernwood Pub

*'''Summary''': Simony and Magpie meet for lunch, and discuss plans. So many plans!</div>

The Fernwood has a certain charm, a certain something that many places aim for, but few achieve.

On certain days, it is near perfect. The right amount of people, the sun streaming in the high up windows, the smell of good food cooking.

The perfect atmosphere where one can eat and scheme with nary a person being nosy or interrupting. A person-watcher's delight.

Simony has nabbed a table in a more secluded space, darker, with less headroom than elsewhere, away from the door or the stairs leading up. The table, and chairs, are sized for smaller people, perfect for Gnomes and Goblins alike. A small candle allows for the reading of books, while a small teapot sits waiting, two teacups prepped.

While Simony is distracting herself by drawing, it is obvious for those who spot her, that the Gobbo is waiting on someone.

The door to the pub opens, and for a moment the sun shines off a motley of blues, reds, and yellow as Magpie makes her way in. Somewhat more subdued than usual, the gnome shuts the door behind her, and looks around the common room... then her face splits into a wide grin upon spotting Simony. With a wave so energetic it lifts her off the floor a couple inches, she makes her way directly to the table, visibly pleased at taking a smol-sized spot in the common room; they fill up so quickly, often it's hard to not need a stepladder just to have a spot to eat.

"Heyyyy, Simony," she says, blowing an errant lock of hair from her face. "What's up?"

"Hello, Magpie.", the Goblin says cheerfully, her grin full of teeth and mischief. "Please, settle in. Are you hungry, and did you wish some tea?" Simony is already pouring, however, both teacups get filled.

She sips at hers a little, before continuing.

"How are your studies going?" Leaning in a little, the Gobbo lowers her voice. "I thought I would update you a little. Seldan, Telamon and I had a chat. I've some information that might uhm be concerning?"

"*Always* hungry," the gnome chuckles, reaching for her teacup. "Doing okay, thinking that I should move to a different project, given what the field research showe--" Pausing, she blinks rapidly for a moment, then leans in. "Oh yeah?"

"I arranged for some curry chicken over rice. Had to pull the 'Well if Ox can do it...' trick."

Simony waves, and nods, one of the servers by the kitchen nodding and disappearing.

"Er, what is the research showing?", she wonders. Her voice lowers again. "Yeah, that thing we ran into? Echo of a thing that's been dead for a while. Seldan killed it before. It is posited that the city-wide roundel is still active. Possibly... fully functional."

"That it's probably way too dangero-- wait what. *What.*" Magpie thumps back in her chair, eyes wide. Looking for something to do as she processes this information, she sips at her tea, staring at the goblin. "...Okay the echo thing I heard, but like... It's *what?!*"

Her eyes drop to the surface of the table, darting back and forth as if an echo of her attempts to catch her whirling thoughts. "...That's a problem, Simony. Like a *problem* problem."

"Ookay, okay, I did that for effect, but let me explain.

The Goblin's grin is broad, completely spoiling the serious nature of her news.

"So, we were wondering.. well, not me, I think it was Telamon... somehow it came up. The circle has to have had some maintenance done, if this echo is walking around. Eclavdran, the former duke of hell, was tied to this circle."

The Goblin goes quiet as the server arrives with two bowls of curry chicken over rice, a full loaf of bread, thickly sliced and generously buttered, and a full set of utensils. A few coins, with at least one gold one, are slid across the table to the server.

Simony waits for them to step away with the coins, before she continues.

"I posited that if things like the otyuchs exist to keep the sewers relatively clean... there could be a magical means to repair things down there." She pauses to inhale one of the bread slices.

Magpie is listening hard enough that one would swear her eartips are quivering, eyes wide. Only the smell of curry snaps her out of her focus, and that only long enough to lean back and allow the food to be deposited. Once the server leaves, she leans in again, feeling around for a slice of bread and a spoon. Both curry and rice are spooned onto the bread, which is folded over and crammed halfway into her mouth.

"Mmm-hmmmf?"

There's a muffled giggle and snort from the Goblin, and she digs into her curry somewhat, getting in a few mouthfuls before she nods.

"So, if the echo exists, it means the circle if functioning. If it's functioning, it's been repaired."

She sips daintily at her tea before continuing.

"Seldan said a fae was involved. So... the conclusion is, the circle has been repaired, magically it is assumed. It works, at least to some degree."

Her voice drops further, and she practically presses her face to Magpie's, "Since it existed before the wards... it probably allows you to summon, conjurer, teleport... from the sewers, wards be damned. So like, the echo needs to be killed, and we need to test stuff. The worse news? The circle IS the sewers, the sewers is the circle. Can't break it without destroying the city's sewage and drainage systems. You're up kiddo, can you bust the regeneration on it?"

By the time Simony's done talking, three full slices of bread and filling have been annihilated, all of it without breaking eye contact. Settling back in her chair, she scrapes at her mouth with a rag, thinking hard.

Then, the rag is tossed into the air as magpie waves her arms. "Maybe! I don't know! I have to *see* the structure!" Glancing around in case her outburst drew attention, she leans in on the table, voice dropping to an urgent stage-whisper.

"Just to have an *idea* how to do it, I need to map the whole circle. Copy every line, every node, every channel. *Then* get actual masters in spellcraft to decipher all of it, which *whoadang* I am *not.* But then when we know everything there is to know about the circle and how it's built... *maybe* I can figure out how to stop it from regenerating. ...Or slip in a new set of instructions... Hm... Oh heyyyyy..."

Alaryn goes Out <O>.

Alaryn has left.

As Magpie talks, the Goblin takes her opportunity to eat, snagging a few more of the thick bread slices, and shoveling curry into her mouth. She giggles a few times, the Gnome's antics infecting the Goblin with a similar energy.

Nodding enthusiastically, Simony grins, and speaks between mouthfuls of curry.

"So, we will get you support. I think myself, Telamon and Ravenstongue can help with the mapping. The biggest thorn is the creature. Seldan is confident they can take it on. But I think it is a good idea to get him support. Perhaps he has an idea of whom can help him with it?"

"I uh... yeah probably. I... think you could do me a favor, actually?" Magpie says, after gulping down the last of her tea, and reaching for the pot to pour fresh. "See if Seldan has the time and inclination to sit down with me for a bit? I need to pick his brain about this, and see if I can convince him doing anything but ruining it is a good idea. Cos, see..."

She leans back, turning the cup in her hands. "Seldan is Kind Of A Big Deal. People don't talk about him much like they do the Crimson Pen targets, but like... *Guaranteed* if you pass a group of female students, and you don't hear them whispering Telamon's name? It's Seldan's. And a Big Deal like that, I do *not* want to cross. It's just bad manners, y'know?"

The Goblin swallows noisily, almost choking on the half-chewed mouthful that seems to go down sideways. A slurp of tea helps her recover before the coughing gets bad.

"I... I can. Is.. is it okay if I ask Telamon to arrange it. He's got this thing with his eyes that helps such conversations go ... better. 'Cos if you're concerned trying to talk to Sir Seldan... then I am a disaster waiting to happen. But I'll get it arranged..."

"I uh had heard the name, knew he'd saved the city and lots of people... but didn't know much about it. I am... still in the same spot as before, I just now have a face to go with the name."

"Yeah that's a good idea," Magpie says, bobbing her head. "And like... I get it. I'm just, like, gonna try to treat this like a grant application interview. Get as much material together as possible, make a super convincing argument, hope it doesn't get denied... Y'know." Gesturing vaguely with one hand, the gnome reapplies herself to her lunch.

The Goblin stares at Magpie for a few moments, loooong moments, before she chuckles. "My life seems quiet and boring compared to yours. So I'll speak with Telamon, I am meeting him later on... and see if he would convince Seldan to meet with you. Erm. If you need my help with anything else, please ask. In for a penny, in for a pound."

"Oh don't *even,*" Magpie says with a gusty sigh. It *sounds* interesting, I guess, but the reality is 'ten days of hard work and scrambling and rehearsing and memorizing and trying to think up every possible answer to every possible question, all on the strength of a 'maybe.' At least with dice it's less work and you get your answers quicker. But... Yeah definitely. Once I talk to Seldan, I'll have a better idea of what's needed, and we can get started on how to *do* it."

The Goblin laughs, covering her mouth, and then chewing. "The curse of a bookworm, hmm?" She rubs at her cheeks. "But ya know what? How are you doing? I mean, how is Magpie? What's new and interesting that is not demon, circle or death related?"

"So there's this bakery in Goblintown," Magpie says almost immediately. "Turns out the baker lived in Tashraan for awhile. He stuffs curry like this into bread, but it's *spicy* and awesome and they sell this fruit-yogurt drink that cools down the tongue and just... Oh man, it's great. It's on Spark Lane, by the salvage yard?"

The Goblin's ears perk up a little, "I am always looking for new places to eat. Spicy spicy?" She nods, her notebook being pulled out of the bag on her hip, followed by a shiny new pencil. "SPARK LANE, by the salvage yard."

"Thanks, I'll definitely look that place up. So uh hmm. You ever met someone by the name of Ous?"

"Spicy spicy," Magpie confirms, bobbing her head. "And uh... No, don't think I have? I'm bad with names, though, why?"

The Goblin looks away. "N.no specific reason, just curious if you'd heard the name. He's done a few guild missions that I happen to have joined up for also."

"Ohoooo?" Magpie says, grinning wide. "I haven't heard about him, but by the sound of it he's making an impression?"

Just about the only other colour she can make is the flush of blood to the cheeks, and Simony tries to hide this. "Yes. He's.. he's a human. An outdoorsman, has a giant hound as a companion. Heh. Likes to drink at the Ox, when he's not hunting, or slaying monsters that need slaying. Pretty mean with an axe."

"So... yes, he's made an impression."

"Niiiiiice~!" Magpie crows, tipping her head back and laughing. "Good for you, Simony! Don't go asking me for advice, though, I'd be awful at it. But hey if he's making an impression, have fun, yeah?"

She snorts and sighs. "I have no idea what I'm doing.", she complains. "But thank you very much for your encouragement. It has been a fun journey so far." The Goblin inhales and exhales noisily. "Okay, is there anything else we need to talk about? Is there anything you'd like to touch on? I know your time is at a higher premium than mine, so..."

"Ppfffff, nothing like that, really. If I'm not going in fifty different directions at once, I get bored and invent directions to go into," Magpie says with a shrug. "But no, nothing really comes to mind just yet? I'm gonna need to prepare for this pitch, so I'm working out what I'm going to need. Probably gonna need to spend a day in the stacks," she says at the last, murmuring to herself. Shaking her head, she looks up, smiling brightly. "What about you, Simony? Anything I can help with, if nothing else to pay you back for this *awesome* lunch?"

The Goblin giggles at length. "Magpie. The past two times I've come to you, over food, have been to divulge terrible information. Important, sure, need to act on right away, yep... but terrible. What is it you're going to pay me back for?" A pale hand reaches out to lightly pat at the Gnome's forearm. "You need not owe me anything, honestly. However... if you're feeling generous... you can get the next lunch! Fair, yes?"

Simony's expression grows thoughtful for a time as she gives the question serious consideration.

"I will offer up a donation of coin, if need be, but... shall you reconvene the Study Buddies group? So that we can rake in all the information? Maybe refocus on something of more importance, if such a thing is found? I mean, we also need to find some support for Sir Seldan. And perhaps other groups to clear out the sewers pre-emptively before we go down to map the circle?"

"Well I mean, the Study Buddies exist right now to take out Jags, and I don't intend to switch that until it's done," Magpie notes. "But otherwise, yeah, that's a good idea. Once I've talked to Seldan and gotten an idea of what we want to do, I'll pull the Buddies back together. And yeah, I'll talk to the Guild about some sewer-clearing missions, but... I'm not sure if that shouldn't wait until *after* the echo gets taken care of. I don't want people to get hurt."

Simony nods. "I would leave it up to your judgement then. I just wanted to bring up the possibility of such. I expect you have more information over all, so, you would be the best judge of whether or not to reconvene."

The Goblin stands, moving to Magpie's side, hesitating and then offering a little hug. "For now, I shall leave you, yes? Please, enjoy the rest of the curry and fresh bread. Oh, and the tea. It's all paid for, so, please enjoy. I'll take my leave of you, okay?"

Out of the frying pan, into the fire, a group of unknowns find themselves in the middle of a meal
they might not be able to swallow.

[[Sebropert]] GM, [[Donna]], [[Orenthal]], [[Delilah]], [[Miriai]]

Violet lights now hang over a plain near distant Alexandria, the ground wrecked and ravaged by creations unknown. Distant rumors across the many nations have sent forth explorers, adventurers, mercenaries, and those of less good intent seeking another such find. Each with their own purpose or story.

Hextus. A small port nation sitting in a most opportune, but dangerous local. Squashed between the Dreadlands, the sandsea of Veyshan, and the infamous Charn Dominion, Hextus has become a place of trade, wealth, and shady dealings. Ships land from all across the Inmost Sea. The sun stands just passed noon, the ocean winds fights the desert sands that spray in from the south. The Bazaar is in full swing, people and beings milling about, haggling, and shouting. Tents display brightly colored cloths, foods, and jewels while their owners shout out deals and offers.

Orenthal originally came here to see about the trade opportunities, but the risk vs reward doesn't look like it's going to work out. The place is a little too shady for a businessman like his father. But there's always opportunities for someone with quick hands and a glib tongue, and so Orenthal is listening to the goings on and trying to locate some of those opportunities.

Normally, Miriai would not be anywhere without His Lady Aznara present. But she was perfectly safe where she was currently at and she asked him to scout ahead and investigate whether there was a need for the two of them to operate together in this new area. The trip here was one where Miriai kept to himself, kept quiet and mostly just watched everything and everyone. He stands in the Bazaar and lets his ember-like eyes slowly swivel left then right then left then right. He's a bit different a model as many of the other golems out there. Sure, he's large and bulky, but he looks more like a magically animated statue than a clockwork man. . . covered in armor, carrying a shield and his axe slung at his waist.

Through the markets, a pair of nearly-identical young woman walk, by dress and mannerisms alone clearly not from this part of the world. "...Sorry, D," says the black-haired twin. "I thought this *was* the right ship, I think we turned too soon on the docks." She brings an oversized, spike-knuckled gauntlet comes up to scratch at the back of her neck. "Shouldn't be too hard to get back though, right? Just a job or something to get passage fare."

"Honestly," replies the second of the two twins, "This is hardly the first time we've taken a wrong turn, in some form or another. Remember a certain forest, after we left Rune? ...I'm sure that was my fault somehow, anyway." She brushes her fingertips through her golden hair, which aside from the colors of their respective getups is really the best way to tell them apart. "A job or two should cover passage though, definitely. Maybe a little extra. ...Which would be good, because I'm hungry, and I'm betting you are too, Donna."

Hunger, business, scouting. The best place for all the bazaar. Titillating scents travel on the wind and drag at the tightening coil in the pits of the stomach. Hunger growls. Hunger makes one do things one normally wouldn't.

Moving swiftly through the crowd, a boy no taller than four feet, bumps into Orenthal as he calls out to a distant friend. "Many apologies good sir," he says, whipping off a large floppy hat to give a bow, with the hat to his chest, and his other hand behind his back. He sweeps the hat back on, and then continues his swift path away... but not before Orenthal notices the weight on his own belt has gotten significantly lighter. Gold lighter. Thief.

Orenthal grah, pickpocketed! Normally he doesn't carry his cash there, but he's a merchant's son just now, and not working for the Explorer's Guild on some dark plot. "Stop, thief!" he calls out, and attempts to run after the thief.

The cries of 'Stop Thief!' get Miriai's attention. He turns his head and diverts his attention towards the crier. But then he attempts to track the thief. His eyes rove about, trying to pick out details such as... whomever might be moving through the crowd with haste as if trying to escape. But he does not -move- so much as just... look. It's not like he is the most perceptive individual. But he does try.

Donna's head perks. Thief? Frowning, she narrows her eyes, scanning the bazaar on the lookout for the disturbances that a running thief would naturally cut in crowds this packed and vocal. "...Keep your gun tied, D," she mutters. "Last thing we want is for *that* to get stolen too."
Turning, Miriai begins moving. His plan is to plot an intercept course. To reach a location where this kid happens to be moving towards. If he plans it correctly, he'll be stepping into the kid's path moments before said thief gets there... blocking and looming over him. "Stop. Thief." he states emotionlessly.

Delilah sucks in her breath, then heaves a great sigh. "Yeah, that'd be inconvenient," she agrees, making sure the knot on her holster is good and properly tied. She stands up on tip-toes, trying to get a better look as if that would help her clap eyeballs on what was going on. "...Oh, look," she points out, "The golem over there seems to have things well in hand."

Orenthal skips through the crowd with surprising agility ... for a merchant. He skips around a cart, and tries to go around... no, that doesn't work. Two fat men meet right in his path, and as he attempts to shove his way through, he gets exactly nowhere.
"Pardon me." says Miriai as he moves through the crowd. As gently as possible, he uses his shield or his right hand to lever people aside. But after a few times doing this, he raises the tone of his voice and yells, "EVERYBODY MOVE!" And it's like a moment out of a romantic action comedy fantasy movie as the crowd parts like the red sea.

That reveals a row of carts with boxes atop them. He moves... walking and then jogging before trying to go up and over the boxes. He clears the carts and smashes through the boxes. Pieces of wood and contents of said boxes crash to the ground as he keeps moving along.
The chase is on, the youth ducks down, his floppy hat and feather a banner atop his head, flapping in the breeze. He clears the crowd, slips through the tents, but an attempt to swing up onto a ledge leaves him rolling in the dirt. Forced to take a new path.
Orenthal scrambles up some boxes, sending them tumbling down behind him as he gains altitude. He spots a path between two tents, but it looks too small for him. He growls a quiet curse and looks around for his quarry.

There. Donna's head whips toward the furrow in the crowd leading the two larger, and thus more visible, chasers, and claps Delilah's shoulder. "There," she says, nodding in the direction, and speeds away. Weaving through the crowd, she spots the running child and lowers her shoulder to plow into him... But gets jostled aside, sending her stumbling past the thief with a growl of annoyance.

Orenthal spots an alternate route and hustles through a flap, emerging on the other side and looking for his quarry, trying to gauge his progress.

Delilah rushes off after Donna, threading her way through the crowds, though she skids to a halt further back. Undoing the knot on her pistol doesn't take long; and as she draws it she pulls back the hammer with a loud click. "I think this whole thing's gone far enough," loudly declares the golden haired twin, after the thief manages to avoid getting flattened by her sister. She lifts the weapon and levels it square at the approaching thief's forehead, right between the eyes. "How about you stop right there and nothing bad happens to you? Better odds than you'll get from the guard, kid. Better take 'em."

Seeing the kid up ahead, Miriai turns his head left, then right. Kids to the right. He turns left and begins running. His feet step over the lip and he tromps through the water. Splash Splash Splash... and then he crests the other edge and skids to a stop, dripping water everywhere as he turns to face the thief. "STOP. THIEF. You may return what you stole and depart. Or you can resist and I will hold you for the local constables."
The thief seems to be making good speed after his tumble, but the wily golem finds the best shortcuts. In the crowd two sisters stand, and one makes a move to stop the thief. With a stiff arm and a spin he moves around her, rolling back to back with her before heading forward straight into... the barrel of a firearm.

Whelp! Time to turn around. Right into the big golem that has been chasing him. And not too far behind the man he stole from. Crud.
Orenthal and these other helpful people have run down this little bilge rat, and as he catches his breath, he holds his staff threateningly. "You can return my coin now, guttersnipe, or I'll beat your backside like you've never had before and you won't be able to sit for the rest of your life." He'll reach out to try and take it from the kid, now that he's got his breath back.

"He's got a gun in his face," says the dark-haired twin, pushing off the edge of the cart that she'd folded herself over after her aborted tackle. "Pretty sure he's not going anywhere." Dusting herself off, she moves back to stand next to her sister. "C'mon, kid. Game's over."

The young 'guttersnipe' lifts both hands up in the air, a small pouch of coin held in the left. The right is missing both a pinky and a ring finger. "Okay, okay. Anything but the guards. There is nothing you can do sir that they ain't already did," the thief says as he waggles the two little stumps at his captors. "It’s all der," he says as he gives a short move of his wrist to toss the bag on the ground. "I swears I was only trying to eat."

Delilah isn't about to keep a gun on the kid for overly long; she gives it a quick spin and shoves it back down into the holster. She opens her mouth to say something, before clamping it shut at the sight of the two excised fingers. "Yeah, well, we might understand a thing or two about trying to eat." She reaches behind her back, under her cloak, and her hand reappears holding a reddish apple, that admittedly does have a small bruise on one side, which she tosses to the kid. "I know that's just an apple, but it'll push the hunger back while you can figure out a better plan."

Orenthal grumbles as he picks his purse up off the ground. As Delilah gives the child an apple, he says, "I'd have given you some coin /if you'd asked/. And now, if I catch you again, you'll -wish- I was the guards." He snarls threateningly, though he can't really match a gun to the face. To the saviors of his purse, he says, "Allow me to treat you all to dinner, then, in thanks for your help."

Lifting a silver coin from a slot where he keeps his coins, Miriai says, "You should not steal. But you should eat." That said, he turns his head, eyes angling towards Orenthal. "I accept." he states emotionlessly.

Donna glances at the apple Delilah tosses to the kid, then up at Orenthal, visible eye narrowing briefly in thought. "One condition," she grunts. "Get the kid something to fill his belly for the day too."

The thief, no more than thirteen, catches the apple with what looks to be passion. A rare fresh treat the likes he does not see often. Such sudden changes to kindness he has never seen. "Um," he pauses. "Thank you! I don't..." He looks both ways, and the sight of guards pushing through the crowd to investigate the commotion sets him scrambling. He bolts, but he calls over the crowd. "I'll pay you back! Abrosh pays back his debts!" And he ducks into the crowd.

Orenthal says to Donna. "If that is your wish, how can I refuse?" He goes to lead the child to a nearby food stall, but the child is gone as quick as that. He can only shrug to Donna, and Miriai gets a quizzical look. But he says, "My inn is this way. The food there is very good. For here, anyhow...."

Emotion is something Miriai is not familiar with. But he shrugs his large shoulder. Then he merely nods and moves to fall in behind Orenthal.
Delilah holds up a hand, "Wait--" And then, the kid is gone. She swiftly reties the knot on her pistol, since there's absolutely nothing to be gained by getting into trouble for that. "Well... so much for that, then. An Inn sounds nice; certainly beats sleeping in the streets."

Donna grunts her agreement, lifting a shoulder as the kid runs off without getting his meal. "Lead the way, then."

Orenthal will lead the way back to his inn. It turns out to be quite a nice one, in a slightly more upscale area. As upscale as the area provides, at least. His Tradespeak carries an Alexandrian accent, and he admits, "I am not from here, as you may have guessed. My name is Orenthal, though I would be pleased if you called me Ren as my friends do."

Not far from where they stand now, the Three Trumpeters Inn sits. It is a relatively nice place, with two stories, and a balcony on the back that faces the bazaar.

Within there is a small hall, filled with merchants taking it easy from the day. A stairwell at the back of the room leads up to a common area for those that have rented rooms, and further in there are rooms.

The innkeeper is serving lunch. A simple, but heavily spiced stew, and a brew made from fermented fruits. "Sit sit, I will be with you!" A fat cook calls, as he starts filling bowls with the fragrant mixture.

Following inside, Miriai steps aside from the door. He holds position there and theni says simply, "I am Miriai." It is an Elven word meaning Guard. Yeah, that's all. He's a golem, totally emotion free for the most part. "I will have some stew. Some mass for maintaining my body." he adds.

Orenthal arches a brow at Miriai, and says, "I wasn't sure if we were gonna have to find you oil or what, but I'm glad to share a meal with you. And glad that you helped run down that scamp. My father would have been quite upset had I lost it. It's not his money, it's mine, but that's how he is." He sighs a bit and heads into the dining area, finding a table that will fit us all. He smiles at the cook and says, "The food really -is- good here, surprisingly."

"Donna," The dark-haired twin says as they're waved to their seats. Nodding to the blond next to her, she continues. "Delilah. Not from around here either, looking to get home once we've scraped up some money."

"He was a thief. He needed to be stopped." offers Miriai simply. No comment on the oil or whatever. He definitely doesn't appear to be a machine. As indicated, he looks like a magically animated statue. But deep down? Who knows?!

"At least it's been fun so far," Delilah points out. "We ran down a thief, and nobody got hurt. All in all a pretty good day, I'd think." She clasps her hands behind her head, and hmmms, "But before we go any further, stew and a brew would be fantastic, I think. What do you think, Donna?"

A grunt comes from the dark-haired twin. Clearly, it's easy to see which one does the talking of the pair.

Orenthal smiles at his new friends, and says, "Well met! And fortune favors me at last, after a week of dismal prospects. Meeting you three has been the high point of my week. This area has many riches

I could sell in Alexandria, but there are too many like the boy, who would steal the green off gold if he could for half a groat." He sighs. "The risk outweighs the profit, in that, so I guess I shall have to return home empty-handed, myself."

"My Lady may be joining us soon." offers Miriai. He merely stands there and watches while he speaks… sparingly. He steps forward when food comes out, and takes a bowl of simple stew. "Thank... you..." he states, still learning manners it seems.

Aaaaand now the talky one has gone to freshen up. Donna slumps briefly, not happy at the prospect of having to carry conversation, but rallies. "...Supposed to be in Gustav by now," she says, sipping from the cup handed to her. "Got on the wrong ship."

Orenthal pushes a chair out with his foot, and says to Miriai, "You're welcome to sit down with us, if it won't break the chair. And your lady is welcome to join us. I didn't know golems ... were like that." He apparently is assuming Miriai is referring to a wife, or someone like that. To Donna, he says, "That's a tough break. If I may ask, did you have business in Gustav, or... ?"

"I may be too heavy for your chair. But I thank you for your invite." says Miriai as he moves forward. But he pauses, "Were like what?" he asks. "She is My Lady whom I serve. She woke me from my long sleep and I keep her safe when she is adventuring."

The cook places bowls and mugs before each member of the party, his apron barely containing the girth of his waist. Oiled stains mark the apron, and he smells heavily of spices and smoked meats. He leaves them to their food. Small groups throughout talk. One about trade, another about mercenary companies. Yet another about a lack of mail out east. Messages go out, but don't return. Of course oddities from Charn are nothing new. There is even a young couple having a semi-romantic lunch at a table alone.

Donna lifts a shoulder. "Guild bill, not much else. Probably they've already got more to fill it, but still gonna need work if we want to get back to Alexandria."

Orenthal nods to Miriai, looking a bit puzzled, but nodding along. "Ah, I see. You must be an esteemable companion, then," he decides. He mmms as the food arrives, and serves himself and passes the dishes along as he nods to Donna. "Explorers' Guild? I am sure they will have some work here - there is always work for adventurers, I have found. And if not, there are certainly bandits, and stealing from them is fair game."

"I am loyal." says Miriai as he eats. He does so slowly and methodically. "While I await My Lady, I will do my best to protect those I travel with. I am a guard golem. It is my design to protect others."

"Bandits," Donna snorts, one corner of her mouth curling up. "Not stealing if it's bandits. They deserve what they get, too."

Orenthal grins widely to Donna, and agrees, "It's just as you say." As a merchant's son, he's got a special grudge against bandits in general. "My father would give a bonus for each bandit killed on all his caravans." He nods slowly to Miriai. "That's good, then! I'm glad you were close by, and were able to protect me today." To protect his money, anyhow.

"Bandits most definitely deserve what they've invariably got coming to them," agrees the returning Delilah. She grabs a chair and drags it up to the table to sit beside her sister, whom she gives a playful swat on the shoulder. "That might not be a bad line of work, up here, you think? Go take care of a few bandits, swipe their ill-gotten clobber and get paid for it?"

"Bandits most definitely deserve what they've invariably got coming to them," agrees the returning Delilah. She grabs a chair and drags it up to the table to sit beside her sister, whom she gives a playful swat on the shoulder. "That might not be a bad line of work, up here, you think? Go take care of a few bandits, swipe their ill-gotten clobber and get paid for it?" She leans back in her chair, and stretches lightly. "Don't worry about it, Ren," she adds. "Always a pleasure."

"Those who prey upon others illegally should be stopped." says Miriai as he destroys more of the stew. "I and my axe will lend themselves to this task." he states.

"....Clobber," Donna sighs. "You've been hanging around the Oxley place again, haven't you? Like a fight as much as anyone, but that place'll just get you mashed under a chair, D."

Orenthal nods to the others, and says thoughtfully, "You know. We might turn a nice profit out of this little trip after all. If we choose our quarry carefully." He winces at the mention of the Oxley place. "That place is awful on so many levels."

The sun pulls across the sky in its heavenly chariot. The dark comes as they while away the hours, the small group talking amongst themselves. So much passes around them, the lunch crowd leaves and the dinner arrives. A new meal arrives. Bandits and brew, the patron of the inn comes to the table. "Meal, meal, all to the room friend? I think your guests will be needed a room too, yes?"

Donna sets down her spoon, the bulk of her stew finished off in silence and speed, and looks from the patron to the merchant, one eyebrow rising. "Hunh? Oh, right." She digs into a pouch, spends a half a moment checking to see how many coins are (or more accurately, are not) left inside, and produces a couple. "Yes, we'll definitely be needing a room," she agrees. "My sister and I will share one."

"Not profit what is important to me." there is a pause after Miriai says that. "Upholding the codes and laws is." His head turns and he says, "I would appreciate a place that I can rest."

Orenthal nods to supper, and nods at rooms for his guests. "Two rooms, I think," he guesses, one for the sisters and one for the golem and his mistress if she arrives? "Next to mine if you have them.

On my tab, indeed. These are my close friends!" He smiles to the others. "The first batch of bandits we take down will certainly pay this bill and more besides, do not feel indebted to me. We will all make money together!"

A friendly agreement to work together for fun, law, and profit. A recipe for trouble if ever one had been made in an inn. But for now, sleep. The sun set, and rooms purchased, the weary comrades move upstairs. Up the staircase, past the common area and its balcony. The rooms are spacious, and well decored. The Three Trumpeters does not disappoint. Wash basins and beds of real down feathers bring swift sleep to all involved.

Eluna sits high in the sky, shining her cheshire smile down upon Ea, but her peace is interrupted in the deep night. Calls in the air. Faint at first. Lights flickering in the distance. While this town has its nightlife, this takes a tone decidedly away from fun. They are screams of fear and agony. Loud enough that even the densest creature would be woken in their night clothes to hear it.

Orenthal wakes up in his nightclothes. "Huh? What?" he asks the darkness, reaching for his sword to fend off the demons attacking him. Or something. He rubs sleep from his eyes.

Donna shoots upright at the piercing scream, kicking off her sheets and darting to the window. Heedless of the fact that only a thin, light nightdress separates her from the cooler evening air, she sticks her head out well past the windowsill, eyes flickering back and forth for the source of the trouble.

Delilah, predictably, pulls the pillow over her head and mumbles something about making porridge for the neighbor’s crocodiles in the morning. Then there's a louder scream, and her eyes snap open; she bolts out of bed so fast she falls on the floor, then reaches for her pistol which isn't handy, and then by the look of the runes flaring to life on her arm, very nearly sets the interior of the Inn on fire. "What in hell?!" She scrabbles back up to her feet and, wearing a nightgown quite similar to Donna's, rushes to the window. "What's going on?"
Going from inactive to active, Miriai tromps his way to the door. He doesn't say a word at this time, but he's armored, has his shield and axe at the ready as he tromps down the stairs from the sleeping rooms. Golems don't really sleep after all.... they just take some downtime state. He's heading out the front door if he can make it that far without a fight.

The twins standing at the window dressed as they are might normally rally cheers and catcalls, but the sight outside speaks to the locals being a bit preoccupied. Fires burn through the eastern side of the city while people flee this way and that, seemingly without order or direction. Humanoid figures march behind them, hoods and masks hiding their faces, and their blades slaked with recently spilled blood. The bazaar below has become chaos.

Outside in the hallway of the inn one can hear the tromping of the large golem, working his way towards the stairwell. The building seems unmolested by troops yet, but a broken window and a fire burning the stairwell to ash alludes to the use of alchemist's fire.

Of course there are no demons in Orenthal's room, but the flickering of red through the window might lead one to believe demons were outside. The screams of anguish certainly confirmed the theory.

Feet tromping on the flames, Miriai tries to stamp out whatever flames might be present. But then it's downstairs and out into the streets. He's looking for friendlies that he might be able to assist… or enemies who require trouncing.

With a muttered curse, Donna pushes away from the window. Her trousers are snatched up from her pile on the floor and pulled on, the nightdress deemed sufficient enough for the moment. "Delilah," she says, snatching her heavy gauntlets from the end-table and shoving them over her hands, "get your gun. *Hurry.*" With that, the dark-haired twin seems to eschew the stairs altogether, taking hold of the windowsill and vaulting over, waiting until she's at the full length of her arms before dropping to the ground.

Orenthal recovers his wits quickly enough, and pulls his chain shirt over his head, straps on his sword belt, and goes out in his nightclothes apart from that. He heads down to see what might be done about whatever's going on.

Delilah dashes back from the window, hurriedly shoving her feet into her boots and snatching up her pistol. "Yeah, I'm definitely getting that impression," she agrees, after echoing Donna's curse.

For once, there's no snarky or vainglorious comment from the golden haired twin; she just slings her ammunition bandoleer over her shoulder and following suit with her sister, out the window and lowering herself until she can drop safely to the ground.

The 'men' take to the hallway, their path blocked by the raging fire that nips and bites at banister and step alike. The common room is empty, and the doors to the balcony hang open, the curtains fluttering in the breeze. Still, they are armed and armored and ready for a fight.
The twins work to take the more direct route, armed but certainly not armored in the nightclothes plus either a pair of pants or a pair of boots. The trip out the window is cut short by the fact that the balcony extends across the entire back of the building. From the railing they can see better the raid that sets the city ablaze. The wind whips in their air, and smells of ash and decay.

A nearby rooftop is only meters away, and a ladder to their right. But down, down is the problem.

Silent troops slaughter civilians, and city guard fight with what little skill they have. A solitary figure stands at the opening of the main road, his wrinkled skin lit by fires. Purple robes flap against the breeze, and piercing blue eyes watch the carnage with glee before he turns and walks away.

I am first to heal the sick in body and spirit. 
I am the guide of the lost and the beacon in the darkness. 

My fellow Sentinels are more than comrades, they are family. 
Thus shall I treat them, with love and understanding. 
My fellow creatures are threads in the grand tapestry. 
Thus shall I keep them interwoven as best I can. 

Evil exists, and I do fight it, through Negotiation. 
Pain exists, and I do fight it, through Restoration. 
Yet if it cannot be restored, and if negotiations fail, 
I am prepared to make the Last Resort. 

All creatures have a destiny, and I guard it thus.

[[image:Godwyn Sylvan.jpg|right]]

===What Was===

The daughter of Charnese nobles, Godwyn's life was shifted from its downward spiral by a monk of Eluna, Goddess of the Silver Moon. After realizing the fate that befell victims of her nation's schemes, she ran away at age sixteen upon the announcement of a marriage proposal that would have bound her to the will of Thul for eternity and beyond. Six months of hard travel found her at the gates of Alexandria, exhausted of stamina and supplies.

Had it not been for the charity of a passing Hearthguard one night, she would have resorted to stealing before the end of the first week, no better than the robber barons she'd escaped from.

Fascinated by this act, she followed him around the city, determined to discover why he'd done it. After several hours without coming to a conclusion, she decided to ask him herself. When the conversation ended, she asked to be led to the Temple of Althea, eager to leave her past and country behind her.

===What Is===

Three years of training in the ways of the Great Mother saw her put the skills learned from her parents since she could walk to a nobler purpose. Once indifferent, she could no longer ignore the suffering of others. Once callous and blunt, she now sought to be subtle and kind with her words. Diplomacy above manipulation, mercy before battle. Open hands first, closed fist second, drawn sword when all else failed.

With her Trial completed and her Sentinel status confirmed, Godwyn prepares for the induction ceremony known as the ''Hearth's Embrace'', a celebration of a new addition to Althea's family. During the celebration, an assassin tries to take her life before it even starts. Strangely enough, the attempt is made by none other than her long lost brother, once thought to be dead.

Fortunately it fails, but that isn't the point. The voice that does not belong to the young man is of her father, who informs her that there is no true escape from the Sylvani clan. Now forced to face the past she left behind, Godwyn is more determined than ever to serve Althea and sever ties with her family, once and for all.

==Argent Fire==

Godwyn has recently received a great boon from Althea in the form of a white Isobaran stallion, sixteen hands tall with silver mane and tail, and blue eyes. The result is a striking, noble figure that seems to have an intelligence beyond what normal horses possess, almost as if he can understand what you're saying. At the very least, Argent understands Godwyn on a level that few are able to.

=== '''Return to the Haunted Keep''' (Saturday, April 4th, 2015) ===

It was expected to come back to Dragonier at some point.

Godwyn finds herself with Verna, Aldean, and the rest of the team from the previous trip to the keep. With the addition of Margaret, a Hearthguard, she feels somewhat more sure of herself this time. She will never openly admit such feelings. Nor does she have time to, as Ott's information paints a dire portrait...

The keep is not only haunted, but before the fall of the nation to Heth, the captain decided it best to slay the entirety of the fortress's inhabitants to a man, in order to keep them from turning into undead under the dragon's command. It succeeded, but now the ghosts are under the sway of the captain's wight, and he uses them to fuel his madness... and his power. The only way to defeat him properly is to separate them from him before taking the crazed spirit on directly.

Before the cleansing can even begin however, the team runs into their first major issue.

The ''very buildings'' surrounding the keep are infused with the restless souls of the dead. And they do not like anyone who is currently on the mortal coil stepping inside...

=== '''Head First Into the Abyss (Completed)''' ===

"It's about time! I think they like us a little ''too'' much..."

The return of Altima's general is not a good thing. Especially when that return is fueled by demons.

As the massive former human attempts to break free from his crystalized tomb, nearly shaking off everyone trying to kill him in the process, the demons that assist him drop from a rift just above him and begin to assail the heroes. The debilitating words of blasphemy struck them early on, and half the combat team was weakened as a result. Yet that did not stop them from breaking free of their captors and turning the tables in swift order.

In the end, they deal enough damage to cause the monster to fall deeper into the Abyss... yet is this the end of him, or simply the first act? With no time to find out, they make good their escape, hoping they've held him off for a few more decades.

=== '''The Eternal Chant, Chapter 2 (Story Advance Available)''' ===

Having captured a minor leader in the demonic cult operating out of the docks, Godwyn checks on Aldean after the sting operation. The spark of anger at the blatant misuse of the Hymn for diabolical purposes gives the Sentinel pause. Bards are just as passionate as clerics, it seems. Yet when she informs him that her singing has improved, he asks for a demonstration.

Apprehensive about revealing what she's been working on, she sings for him something he's never heard before... '''her own song'''. Inspired by his efforts, she makes an attempt to create her own lyrics for the first time. Though only half-finished, she performs admirably.

Yet something in the background is happening, far beneath her notice...

=== '''A Sentinel's Journey, Chapter 2 (Completed)''' ===

Godiva the Soother.

The outsider meets with Godwyn yet again, along with one of her friends, Cressida the sorceress. The daeva reveals several truths and delivers warnings, the strongest of which is to be wary around Dea Favente. Her past is both blessed and baleful, as she was born just before, and alive during, the tragic end of the Azure Kingdoms. The memories that resurface will not be pleasant, and Godwyn is told to be gentle when bringing them back.

There is no telling what will become of the still tenebrous bond between weapon and wielder if Godwyn slips.

Yet there is another issue addressed, one more concerning to the Sentinel. Her struggles with compassion and empathy are well-felt with the angelic messenger, yet she offers no answers. Instead, she asks a question:

"What is the one thing your pepole hate the most, and the common folk hunger for?"

Godwyn is left to puzzle over this as Godiva vanishes from sight... and the Journey continues.

== Traits and Skills ==

=== '''Diplomacy (Lv. 10)''' ===

The usual definition of Diplomacy is to shift attitudes toward a favorable result for one's own self, to reach a deal that benefits one party without insulting the other. Yet Godwyn has come to learn of a different definition for the term: to resolve differences, defuse tensions, and encourage cooperation.

Her return to the Desolation, though trying in nature, taught her much about saying the right words at the right time, and when to say nothing at all. After returning to Alexandria, she had the temple retrain her entirely in the practice, and how has '''renewed faith''' in her ability to negotiate her way out of trouble.

=== '''Sense Motive (Lv. 10)''' ===

To aid in the above, Godwyn's intuition has sharpened from her interactions with others. She can see past the obvious and get '''right down to the heart of a matter''' with reasonable accuracy. This skill will come in handy in her attempts to discern true intentions and whether to trust a person implicitly or not.

=== '''Ride (Lv. 6)''' ===

One of Godwyn's few joys lie in horses. She understands these animals on a level few may reach, and learning how to ride one has been one of her biggest challenges, yet her greatest pleasures. She is now an '''accomplished rider''', and can make the most basic of attempts seem easy. More complex maneuvers will require further study in the art of handling her companion.

=== '''Handle Animal (Lv. 4)''' ===

In addition to the above, Godwyn has advanced her studies in how to teach a horse new things. Certain tricks and maneuvers will be available to her mount in due time, provided she puts enough time and effort into the act. She is now confident enough to train a mount for full '''Combat Training'''!

=== '''Heal (Lv. 5)''' ===

During her training as a Sentinel, Godwyn learned how to perform First Aid, use Healer's Kits, and other methods of keeping others alive. She's improved herself in this regard, and can take on the task of more '''long term care''', albeit with some hesitance. She's become more proficient at First Aid, however.

=== '''Perception (Lv. 6)''' ===

A Paladin of any faith must have trained senses. Godwyn's have improved to the point where she can notice '''finer details than she used to'''. They still aren't up to snuff as much as others, but she gets along well enough.

=== '''Linguistics (Lv. 1)''' ===

After witnessing a Veyshanti woman talk to an eglarin, Godwyn became fascinated with their means of communication. Her studies have borne fruit, as she now knows '''Auran''', the language of the mighty and majestic avian race. How many more tongues she understands will only come with further study.

=== '''Perform/Sing (Lv. 10)''' ===

Godwyn has a talent for song. She hasn't truly used it in quite some time, besides to whittle away the lonely hours in the Temple. These days however, she has grown into a fine songstress, and has even started to write her own lyrics. Her level of technique has reached the point where she can execute an '''Enjoyable Performance (DC 15)''' without incident.

=== '''Perform/Dance (Lv. 3)''' ===

During preparations for the Mithralla Ballroom party, Godwyn asked Sophia Lightbringer to help her freshen up on her dancing. The party gave her no opportunities to put her training to practice. Yet she finds herself naturally skilled at her first real attempt, while dancing to one of Aldean's usual songs. Paired with a longsword, Godwyn weaves intricate patterns seemingly at random, yet when looked at in hindsight, paint a graceful picture. Only time will tell if this skill is instinctive as her talent with song.

=== '''Profession/Cook (Lv. 6)''' ===

The Harvest Festival's opening ceremony, known as the Great Feast, has taught Godwyn much about cooking. In the space of the two days of preparation, she learned more about preparing a large-scale meal than most would have learned in months. With so many techniques and methods flying around, it was inevitable that she'd pick up a few tricks. She's actually '''somewhat adept''' at it now.

=== '''Knowledge/Military Theory (Lv. 10)''' ===

From the time she could speak and walk, Godwyn's parents taught her the means and methods of settling conflict via strength of arms, but on a grand scale. Growing up, she saw their ruse for what it was, and shunned the idea of using this knowledge. But with a war going on, she has found it necessary to brush up on the basics. She now feels that she can '''adequately prepare''' for tactical situations with a greater degree of subtlety and flexibility.

=== '''Knowledge/Nobility (Lv. 13)''' ===

If there is anything useful and truly ''good'' her parents taught her however, it was how to act in the halls of high society. Godwyn not only minds her manners, she minds the proper manners for a given culture or situation. Godwyn is '''is a specialist''' in this regard, having been born a noble, and finds ease in circles of power and influence. Combined with her propensity for the Althean brand of Diplomacy, this makes her uniquely suited for handling certain situations.

=== '''Knowledge/Religion (Lv. 5)''' ===

Sometimes, a Paladin must teach and guide others in the way of their Patron. Other times, they must identify those of opposing faiths who would undermine everything they work for. And still others, they must know about that which has fallen into obscurity. As part of her initial training, Godwyn was taught alongside the young Hearthguards in the ways of all Divines, primarily focused on how they relate to Althea, and how She relates to them.

=== '''Stealth (Lv. 13)''' ===

Having had experience with avoiding patrols that would love nothing more than to cart her back home unconscious, Godwyn understands the fundamentals of '''evasion and escape'''. However, this knowledge also comes in handy when a more subtle, silent approach is needed. Sometimes, even a heavily armored warrior needs to forego barging in. This skill requires a ''lighter form of armor than she usually wears'', and she is taking this fact into consideration for future decisions.

=== '''Eldanar Heritage''' ===

Born of Highborn parents, her legacy is great, though tainted. Godwyn seeks to remove this taint from herself with every action she takes, but such a task may take a lifetime. She has a natural affinity for the language of the Gods, and has a beautiful voice to match, one which is just now coming into its own. With little training, yet a great amount of courage, Godwyn has found she has a '''talent for song'''. In fact, singing seems to come to her far too easily...

=== '''Improved Sunder''' ===

The doctrine of Althea speaks of mercy and compassion. These two things rarely exist on the battlefield, yet Godwyn has taken them to heart in her fighting style. She seeks not to merely incapacitate an enemy, but remove entirely their means of both offense and defense. This mindset has made her more skilled in attempts to destroy weapons, shields, and armor, thus removing an enemy's means of battle.

=== '''Cosmopolitan''' ===

Having spent an adequate amount of time in a metropolitan area such as Alexandria, Godwyn has picked up a few tricks that have expanded her knowledge of certain subjects, such as '''languages'''. Yet this reaches even further with her having studied at the Temple of Serriel on the art of '''delivering a proper threat''' when diplomacy no longer works, as well as learning '''survival techniques''' from several sources.

=== '''Power Attack''' ===

For someone who stands just past five feet, Godwyn is able to put significant momentum and leverage behind her weapon. This trait has surprised many of her foes, putting them off-guard. Coupled with the fact that she is armed with a great-sword, this makes Godwyn a fearsome opponent when diplomacy and kindness are no longer options.

=== '''Furious Focus''' ===

To aid with the above, Godwyn has enough training to make the first strike count during a vicious attack, due to her intense focus. After that however, precision goes out the window due to the increased momentum behind each additional swing.

=== '''Human Improvisation''' ===

Godwyn has found herself talented at a great many things as of late, and she now believes it is no coincidence. She has a better chance of success at something she knows nothing about if she puts her full will behind the attempt, and this has proven itself time and time again.

=== '''Skill Focus/Ride''' ===

Frustration with her progress in learning how to properly ride while using armor has only pushed Godwyn further into her quest to get it right. The results have paid off, and with her new armor upgrade, she has '''improved her command of Argent Fire'''. This will only improve with further study into the art of mounted combat.

=== '''Improved Unarmed Strike''' ===

With Moonshadow temporarily on retreat, Godwyn has been instructed to turn to other sources in order to complete her training. It fell to one of her new friends, Fiore, to finish the job, and facing against a far larger foe was not the most pleasant experience. Still, it seemed to do the trick. While she is no monk, and nowhere near as fast or able to execute multiple strikes with as much precision, Godwyn is now able to deliver lethal blows '''without a weapon equipped'''.

=== '''Great Cleave''' ===

The great sword is a weapon used to best advantage when against heavier foes, or to blunt a wall of spears that threaten a charge. But when used against multiple opponents, it begins to take on a life of its own. Godwyn takes this concept one step further than originally intended. By deliberately overextending the swing, she can '''attack more than two enemies''', so long as they are adjacent to one another. This technique can be used to great effect when facing deadlocked foes in close combat. However, this overextension provides attackers with a window of opportunity to attack vital points in her armor.

I am a Sentinel, Champion of Althea. 
I am her exemplar and her conduit, the executor of her will. 
I carry her banner on my armor, on my shield, in my heart. 
I shall do all in my power to confirm her confidence. 

Althea wills me to live, and defend the right to live. 
I do so with a gentle heart and ready hands. 
I am first to heal the sick in body and spirit. 
I am the guide of the lost and the beacon in the darkness. 

My fellow Sentinels are more than comrades, they are family. 
Thus shall I treat them, with love and understanding. 
My fellow creatures are threads in the grand tapestry. 
Thus shall I keep them interwoven as best I can. 

Evil exists, and I do fight it, through Negotiation. 
Pain exists, and I do fight it, through Restoration. 
Yet if it cannot be restored, and if negotiations fail, 
I am prepared to make the Last Resort. 

All creatures have a destiny, and I guard it thus. 
I am a Sentinel. '''Forward Unto Destiny!'''

== Backstory ==

[[image:Godwyn Sylvan.jpg|right]]

===What Was===

The daughter of Charnese nobles, Godwyn's life was shifted from its downward spiral by a monk of Eluna, Goddess of the Silver Moon. After realizing the fate that befell victims of her nation's schemes, she ran away at age sixteen upon the announcement of a marriage proposal that would have bound her to the will of Thul for eternity and beyond. Six months of hard travel found her at the gates of Alexandria, exhausted of stamina and supplies.

Had it not been for the charity of a passing Hearthguard one night, she would have resorted to stealing before the end of the first week, no better than the robber barons she'd escaped from.

Fascinated by this act, she followed him around the city, determined to discover why he'd done it. After several hours without coming to a conclusion, she decided to ask him herself. When the conversation ended, she asked to be led to the Temple of Althea, eager to leave her past and country behind her.

===What Is===

Three years of training in the ways of the Great Mother saw her put the skills learned from her parents since she could walk to a nobler purpose. Once indifferent, she could no longer ignore the suffering of others. Once callous and blunt, she now sought to be subtle and kind with her words. Diplomacy above manipulation, mercy before battle. Open hands first, closed fist second, drawn sword when all else failed.

With her Trial completed and her Sentinel status confirmed, Godwyn prepares for the induction ceremony known as the ''Hearth's Embrace'', a celebration of a new addition to Althea's family. During the celebration, an assassin tries to take her life before it even starts. Strangely enough, the attempt is made by none other than her long lost brother, once thought to be dead.

Fortunately it fails, but that isn't the point. The voice that does not belong to the young man is of her father, who informs her that there is no true escape from the Sylvani clan. Now forced to face the past she left behind, Godwyn is more determined than ever to serve Althea and sever ties with her family, once and for all.

==Argent Fire==

Godwyn has recently received a great boon from Althea in the form of a white Isobaran stallion, sixteen hands tall with silver mane and tail, and blue eyes. The result is a striking, noble figure that seems to have an intelligence beyond what normal horses possess, almost as if he can understand what you're saying. At the very least, Argent understands Godwyn on a level that few are able to.

== Traits and Skills ==

=== '''Diplomacy (Lv. 10)''' ===

The usual definition of Diplomacy is to shift attitudes toward a favorable result for one's own self, to reach a deal that benefits one party without insulting the other. Yet Godwyn has come to learn of a different definition for the term: to resolve differences, defuse tensions, and encourage cooperation.

These days however, she has grown into a fine songstress, and has even started to write her own lyrics. Her level of technique has reached the point where she can execute an '''Enjoyable Performance (DC 15)''' without incident.

Yet she finds herself naturally skilled at her first real attempt, while dancing to one of Aldean's usual songs. Paired with a longsword, Godwyn weaves intricate patterns seemingly at random, yet when looked at in hindsight, paint a graceful picture. Only time will tell if this skill is instinctive as her talent with song.

With so many techniques and methods flying around, it was inevitable that she'd pick up a few tricks. She's actually '''somewhat adept''' at it now.

Sometimes, a Paladin must teach and guide others in the way of their Patron. Other times, they must identify those of opposing faiths who would undermine everything they work for. And still others, they must know about that which has fallen into obscurity. As part of her initial training, Godwyn was taught alongside the young Hearthguards in the ways of all Divines, primarily focused on how they relate to Althea, and how She relates to them.

=== '''Stealth (Lv. 13)''' ===

Having had experience with avoiding patrols that would love nothing more than to cart her back home unconscious, Godwyn understands the fundamentals of '''evasion and escape'''. However, this knowledge also comes in handy when a more subtle, silent approach is needed. Sometimes, even a heavily armored warrior needs to forego barging in. This skill requires a ''lighter form of armor than she usually wears'', and she is taking this fact into consideration for future decisions.

=== '''Eldanar Heritage''' ===

Born of Highborn parents, her legacy is great, though tainted. Godwyn seeks to remove this taint from herself with every action she takes, but such a task may take a lifetime. She has a natural affinity for the language of the Gods, and has a beautiful voice to match, one which is just now coming into its own. With little training, yet a great amount of courage, Godwyn has found she has a '''talent for song'''. In fact, singing seems to come to her far too easily...

=== '''Improved Sunder''' ===

The doctrine of Althea speaks of mercy and compassion. These two things rarely exist on the battlefield, yet Godwyn has taken them to heart in her fighting style. She seeks not to merely incapacitate an enemy, but remove entirely their means of both offense and defense. This mindset has made her more skilled in attempts to destroy weapons, shields, and armor, thus removing an enemy's means of battle.

=== '''Cosmopolitan''' ===

Having spent an adequate amount of time in a metropolitan area such as Alexandria, Godwyn has picked up a few tricks that have expanded her knowledge of certain subjects, such as '''languages'''. Yet this reaches even further with her having studied at the Temple of Serriel on the art of '''delivering a proper threat''' when diplomacy no longer works, as well as learning '''survival techniques''' from several sources.

=== '''Power Attack''' ===

For someone who stands just past five feet, Godwyn is able to put significant momentum and leverage behind her weapon. This trait has surprised many of her foes, putting them off-guard. Coupled with the fact that she is armed with a great-sword, this makes Godwyn a fearsome opponent when diplomacy and kindness are no longer options.

=== '''Furious Focus''' ===

To aid with the above, Godwyn has enough training to make the first strike count during a vicious attack, due to her intense focus. After that however, precision goes out the window due to the increased momentum behind each additional swing.

=== '''Human Improvisation''' ===

Godwyn has found herself talented at a great many things as of late, and she now believes it is no coincidence. She has a better chance of success at something she knows nothing about if she puts her full will behind the attempt, and this has proven itself time and time again.

=== '''Skill Focus/Ride''' ===

Frustration with her progress in learning how to properly ride while using armor has only pushed Godwyn further into her quest to get it right. The results have paid off, and with her new armor upgrade, she has '''improved her command of Argent Fire'''. This will only improve with further study into the art of mounted combat.

=== '''Improved Unarmed Strike''' ===

With Moonshadow temporarily on retreat, Godwyn has been instructed to turn to other sources in order to complete her training. It fell to one of her new friends, Fiore, to finish the job, and facing against a far larger foe was not the most pleasant experience. Still, it seemed to do the trick. While she is no monk, and nowhere near as fast or able to execute multiple strikes with as much precision, Godwyn is now able to deliver lethal blows '''without a weapon equipped'''.

=== '''Great Cleave''' ===

The great sword is a weapon used to best advantage when against heavier foes, or to blunt a wall of spears that threaten a charge. But when used against multiple opponents, it begins to take on a life of its own. Godwyn takes this concept one step further than originally intended. By deliberately overextending the swing, she can '''attack more than two enemies''', so long as they are adjacent to one another. This technique can be used to great effect when facing deadlocked foes in close combat. However, this overextension provides attackers with a window of opportunity to attack vital points in her armor.

=== '''Coming Soon...''' ===

==RP Hooks==

* Healing: Need some First Aid? A quick Lay On Hands? This is your girl!
* Charn: She does her best to forget all about her home. But when she realizes you're from there too, she'll lend you an ear.
* Eluna: Grateful to Moonshadow for rescuing her, she considers the clergy of the Moon Goddess as kin.
* Althea: If you need some assistance and are of the Temple of Althea, or just follow her faith, look to Godwyn for help.
* Daeus: Godwyn appears to be making more and more connections to the Temple of Daeus.
* Slavers: Godwyn has taken a particular dislike for slavery. Point her at a slave ring or trafficking operation, and she will shut it down.

* Strategy: Trained in the ways of strategy, particularly that of warfare, any sort of talk about this will interest her.
* Horses: She loves them. Talk about them, and she'll enthusiastically join in. Show one to her, and she'll fawn over it.

==Allies and Rivals==

* Margaret (Althean) - "You are so adorable! There is no need to be so hesitant around me, you know."

* Namira (Ally) - "It's thanks to you that I realized who that figure in my dreams was. Shame she's not Althea, but a messenger is just as good."
* Solace (Ally) - "You... you're barking ''mad'', aren't you. Be fortunate we're still friends."
* Tatyannah (Rival) - "I can see I can't convince you to work together. Rest assured, your criticism is noted... but you are still a brute."
* Benthus (Ally) - "It's time to finish this, once and for all... my vow shall be fulfilled."
* Sophia (Mentor) - "It's good to have your wisdom at my behest. Perhaps next time I'll have less trepidation around divine wrath."
* Myrana (Althean) - "Goddess above... I should have known. But if you forgive me for all that, I am at peace with my actions. Thank you."
* Iuitl (Navosian) - "Well-spoken, soft-spoken, compassionate, and intelligent? I do believe we can get along."
* Jessamy (Serrelite) - "I can easily call you one of my best friends... no. My ''closest'' friend."

== Backstory ==

[[image:Godwyn Sylvan.jpg|right]]

===What Was===

The daughter of Charnese nobles, Godwyn's life was shifted from its downward spiral by a monk of Eluna, Goddess of the Silver Moon. After realizing the fate that befell victims of her nation's schemes, she ran away at age sixteen upon the announcement of a marriage proposal that would have bound her to the will of Thul for eternity and beyond. Six months of hard travel found her at the gates of Alexandria, exhausted of stamina and supplies.

Had it not been for the charity of a passing Hearthguard one night, she would have resorted to stealing before the end of the first week, no better than the robber barons she'd escaped from.

Fascinated by this act, she followed him around the city, determined to discover why he'd done it. After several hours without coming to a conclusion, she decided to ask him herself. When the conversation ended, she asked to be led to the Temple of Althea, eager to leave her past and country behind her.

===What Is===

Three years of training in the ways of the Great Mother saw her put the skills learned from her parents since she could walk to a nobler purpose. Once indifferent, she could no longer ignore the suffering of others. Once callous and blunt, she now sought to be subtle and kind with her words. Diplomacy above manipulation, mercy before battle. Open hands first, closed fist second, drawn sword when all else failed.

With her Trial completed and her Sentinel status confirmed, Godwyn prepares for the induction ceremony known as the ''Hearth's Embrace'', a celebration of a new addition to Althea's family. During the celebration, an assassin tries to take her life before it even starts. Strangely enough, the attempt is made by none other than her long lost brother, once thought to be dead.

Fortunately it fails, but that isn't the point. The voice that does not belong to the young man is of her father, who informs her that there is no true escape from the Sylvani clan. Now forced to face the past she left behind, Godwyn is more determined than ever to serve Althea and sever ties with her family, once and for all.

==Argent Fire==

Godwyn has recently received a great boon from Althea in the form of a white Isobaran stallion, sixteen hands tall with silver mane and tail, and blue eyes. The result is a striking, noble figure that seems to have an intelligence beyond what normal horses possess, almost as if he can understand what you're saying. At the very least, Argent understands Godwyn on a level that few are able to.

==Current Status==

=== '''Return to the Haunted Keep''' (Saturday, April 4th, 2015) ===

It was expected to come back to Dragonier at some point.

Godwyn finds herself with Verna, Aldean, and the rest of the team from the previous trip to the keep. With the addition of Margaret, a Hearthguard, she feels somewhat more sure of herself this time. She will never openly admit such feelings. Nor does she have time to, as Ott's information paints a dire portrait...

The keep is not only haunted, but before the fall of the nation to Heth, the captain decided it best to slay the entirety of the fortress's inhabitants to a man, in order to keep them from turning into undead under the dragon's command. It succeeded, but now the ghosts are under the sway of the captain's wight, and he uses them to fuel his madness... and his power. The only way to defeat him properly is to separate them from him before taking the crazed spirit on directly.

Before the cleansing can even begin however, the team runs into their first major issue.

The ''very buildings'' surrounding the keep are infused with the restless souls of the dead. And they do not like anyone who is currently on the mortal coil stepping inside...

=== '''Head First Into the Abyss (Completed)''' ===

"It's about time! I think they like us a little ''too'' much..."

The return of Altima's general is not a good thing. Especially when that return is fueled by demons.

As the massive former human attempts to break free from his crystalized tomb, nearly shaking off everyone trying to kill him in the process, the demons that assist him drop from a rift just above him and begin to assail the heroes. The debilitating words of blasphemy struck them early on, and half the combat team was weakened as a result. Yet that did not stop them from breaking free of their captors and turning the tables in swift order.

In the end, they deal enough damage to cause the monster to fall deeper into the Abyss... yet is this the end of him, or simply the first act? With no time to find out, they make good their escape, hoping they've held him off for a few more decades.

=== '''The Eternal Chant, Chapter 2 (Story Advance Available)''' ===

Having captured a minor leader in the demonic cult operating out of the docks, Godwyn checks on Aldean after the sting operation. The spark of anger at the blatant misuse of the Hymn for diabolical purposes gives the Sentinel pause. Bards are just as passionate as clerics, it seems. Yet when she informs him that her singing has improved, he asks for a demonstration.

Apprehensive about revealing what she's been working on, she sings for him something he's never heard before... '''her own song'''. Inspired by his efforts, she makes an attempt to create her own lyrics for the first time. Though only half-finished, she performs admirably.

Yet something in the background is happening, far beneath her notice...

=== '''A Sentinel's Journey, Chapter 2 (Completed)''' ===

Godiva the Soother.

The outsider meets with Godwyn yet again, along with one of her friends, Cressida the sorceress. The daeva reveals several truths and delivers warnings, the strongest of which is to be wary around Dea Favente. Her past is both blessed and baleful, as she was born just before, and alive during, the tragic end of the Azure Kingdoms. The memories that resurface will not be pleasant, and Godwyn is told to be gentle when bringing them back.

There is no telling what will become of the still tenebrous bond between weapon and wielder if Godwyn slips.

Yet there is another issue addressed, one more concerning to the Sentinel. Her struggles with compassion and empathy are well-felt with the angelic messenger, yet she offers no answers. Instead, she asks a question:

"What is the one thing your pepole hate the most, and the common folk hunger for?"

Godwyn is left to puzzle over this as Godiva vanishes from sight... and the Journey continues.

== Traits and Skills ==

=== '''Diplomacy (Lv. 10)''' ===

The usual definition of Diplomacy is to shift attitudes toward a favorable result for one's own self, to reach a deal that benefits one party without insulting the other. Yet Godwyn has come to learn of a different definition for the term: to resolve differences, defuse tensions, and encourage cooperation.

Her return to the Desolation, though trying in nature, taught her much about saying the right words at the right time, and when to say nothing at all. After returning to Alexandria, she had the temple retrain her entirely in the practice, and how has '''renewed faith''' in her ability to negotiate her way out of trouble.

=== '''Sense Motive (Lv. 10)''' ===

To aid in the above, Godwyn's intuition has sharpened from her interactions with others. She can see past the obvious and get '''right down to the heart of a matter''' with reasonable accuracy. This skill will come in handy in her attempts to discern true intentions and whether to trust a person implicitly or not.

=== '''Ride (Lv. 6)''' ===

One of Godwyn's few joys lie in horses. She understands these animals on a level few may reach, and learning how to ride one has been one of her biggest challenges, yet her greatest pleasures. She is now an '''accomplished rider''', and can make the most basic of attempts seem easy. More complex maneuvers will require further study in the art of handling her companion.

=== '''Handle Animal (Lv. 4)''' ===

In addition to the above, Godwyn has advanced her studies in how to teach a horse new things. Certain tricks and maneuvers will be available to her mount in due time, provided she puts enough time and effort into the act. She is now confident enough to train a mount for full '''Combat Training'''!

=== '''Heal (Lv. 5)''' ===

During her training as a Sentinel, Godwyn learned how to perform First Aid, use Healer's Kits, and other methods of keeping others alive. She's improved herself in this regard, and can take on the task of more '''long term care''', albeit with some hesitance. She's become more proficient at First Aid, however.

=== '''Perception (Lv. 6)''' ===

A Paladin of any faith must have trained senses. Godwyn's have improved to the point where she can notice '''finer details than she used to'''. They still aren't up to snuff as much as others, but she gets along well enough.

=== '''Linguistics (Lv. 1)''' ===

After witnessing a Veyshanti woman talk to an eglarin, Godwyn became fascinated with their means of communication. Her studies have borne fruit, as she now knows '''Auran''', the language of the mighty and majestic avian race. How many more tongues she understands will only come with further study.

=== '''Perform/Sing (Lv. 10)''' ===

Godwyn has a talent for song. She hasn't truly used it in quite some time, besides to whittle away the lonely hours in the Temple. These days however, she has grown into a fine songstress, and has even started to write her own lyrics. Her level of technique has reached the point where she can execute an '''Enjoyable Performance (DC 15)''' without incident.

=== '''Perform/Dance (Lv. 3)''' ===

During preparations for the Mithralla Ballroom party, Godwyn asked Sophia Lightbringer to help her freshen up on her dancing. The party gave her no opportunities to put her training to practice. Yet she finds herself naturally skilled at her first real attempt, while dancing to one of Aldean's usual songs. Paired with a longsword, Godwyn weaves intricate patterns seemingly at random, yet when looked at in hindsight, paint a graceful picture. Only time will tell if this skill is instinctive as her talent with song.

=== '''Profession/Cook (Lv. 6)''' ===

The Harvest Festival's opening ceremony, known as the Great Feast, has taught Godwyn much about cooking. In the space of the two days of preparation, she learned more about preparing a large-scale meal than most would have learned in months. With so many techniques and methods flying around, it was inevitable that she'd pick up a few tricks. She's actually '''somewhat adept''' at it now.

=== '''Knowledge/Military Theory (Lv. 10)''' ===

From the time she could speak and walk, Godwyn's parents taught her the means and methods of settling conflict via strength of arms, but on a grand scale. Growing up, she saw their ruse for what it was, and shunned the idea of using this knowledge. But with a war going on, she has found it necessary to brush up on the basics. She now feels that she can '''adequately prepare''' for tactical situations with a greater degree of subtlety and flexibility.

=== '''Knowledge/Nobility (Lv. 13)''' ===

If there is anything useful and truly ''good'' her parents taught her however, it was how to act in the halls of high society. Godwyn not only minds her manners, she minds the proper manners for a given culture or situation. Godwyn is '''is a specialist''' in this regard, having been born a noble, and finds ease in circles of power and influence. Combined with her propensity for the Althean brand of Diplomacy, this makes her uniquely suited for handling certain situations.

=== '''Knowledge/Religion (Lv. 5)''' ===

Sometimes, a Paladin must teach and guide others in the way of their Patron. Other times, they must identify those of opposing faiths who would undermine everything they work for. And still others, they must know about that which has fallen into obscurity. As part of her initial training, Godwyn was taught alongside the young Hearthguards in the ways of all Divines, primarily focused on how they relate to Althea, and how She relates to them.

=== '''Stealth (Lv. 13)''' ===

Having had experience with avoiding patrols that would love nothing more than to cart her back home unconscious, Godwyn understands the fundamentals of '''evasion and escape'''. However, this knowledge also comes in handy when a more subtle, silent approach is needed. Sometimes, even a heavily armored warrior needs to forego barging in. This skill requires a ''lighter form of armor than she usually wears'', and she is taking this fact into consideration for future decisions.

=== '''Eldanar Heritage''' ===

Born of Highborn parents, her legacy is great, though tainted. Godwyn seeks to remove this taint from herself with every action she takes, but such a task may take a lifetime. She has a natural affinity for the language of the Gods, and has a beautiful voice to match, one which is just now coming into its own. With little training, yet a great amount of courage, Godwyn has found she has a '''talent for song'''. In fact, singing seems to come to her far too easily...

=== '''Improved Sunder''' ===

The doctrine of Althea speaks of mercy and compassion. These two things rarely exist on the battlefield, yet Godwyn has taken them to heart in her fighting style. She seeks not to merely incapacitate an enemy, but remove entirely their means of both offense and defense. This mindset has made her more skilled in attempts to destroy weapons, shields, and armor, thus removing an enemy's means of battle.

=== '''Cosmopolitan''' ===

Having spent an adequate amount of time in a metropolitan area such as Alexandria, Godwyn has picked up a few tricks that have expanded her knowledge of certain subjects, such as '''languages'''. Yet this reaches even further with her having studied at the Temple of Serriel on the art of '''delivering a proper threat''' when diplomacy no longer works, as well as learning '''survival techniques''' from several sources.

=== '''Power Attack''' ===

For someone who stands just past five feet, Godwyn is able to put significant momentum and leverage behind her weapon. This trait has surprised many of her foes, putting them off-guard. Coupled with the fact that she is armed with a great-sword, this makes Godwyn a fearsome opponent when diplomacy and kindness are no longer options.

=== '''Furious Focus''' ===

To aid with the above, Godwyn has enough training to make the first strike count during a vicious attack, due to her intense focus. After that however, precision goes out the window due to the increased momentum behind each additional swing.

=== '''Human Improvisation''' ===

Godwyn has found herself talented at a great many things as of late, and she now believes it is no coincidence. She has a better chance of success at something she knows nothing about if she puts her full will behind the attempt, and this has proven itself time and time again.

=== '''Skill Focus/Ride''' ===

Frustration with her progress in learning how to properly ride while using armor has only pushed Godwyn further into her quest to get it right. The results have paid off, and with her new armor upgrade, she has '''improved her command of Argent Fire'''. This will only improve with further study into the art of mounted combat.

=== '''Improved Unarmed Strike''' ===

With Moonshadow temporarily on retreat, Godwyn has been instructed to turn to other sources in order to complete her training. It fell to one of her new friends, Fiore, to finish the job, and facing against a far larger foe was not the most pleasant experience. Still, it seemed to do the trick. While she is no monk, and nowhere near as fast or able to execute multiple strikes with as much precision, Godwyn is now able to deliver lethal blows '''without a weapon equipped'''.

=== '''Great Cleave''' ===

The great sword is a weapon used to best advantage when against heavier foes, or to blunt a wall of spears that threaten a charge. But when used against multiple opponents, it begins to take on a life of its own. Godwyn takes this concept one step further than originally intended. By deliberately overextending the swing, she can '''attack more than two enemies''', so long as they are adjacent to one another. This technique can be used to great effect when facing deadlocked foes in close combat. However, this overextension provides attackers with a window of opportunity to attack vital points in her armor.

* Iuitl (Navosian) - "Well-spoken, soft-spoken, compassionate, and intelligent? I do believe we can get along."
* Jessamy (Serrelite) - "I can easily call you one of my best friends... no. My ''closest'' friend."
