  1. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU leans against a pillar in the underground chamber, listening to the "seer's" speech. She is unsurprised at the verbal attack, having not trusted the old woman at first glance. There is just something about her that itches the goliath's before-time memories of charlatans exposed by true...
  2. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Up until now PA’AVU has apparently been calmly going along with the plans for escape – naturally made without her input – but within her gut there has been an ember of burning anger. While she aids Second Nation members to escape into the tunnels beneath the streets – as she earlier aided them...
  3. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU quickly looks over the side of the roof to get her bearings, analyze the situation, and - with a short whistle - get Hazard's attention. When the hound looks up alertly, she first gestures downward to where she is heading before vaulting over the wall onto the soldier below. Deftly...
  4. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    After first indicating to Hazard in a reassuring tone that he should remain where he is and await her return, PA’AVU turns to examine the walls of the alley for easy egress. Seeing her path, she leaps into action, scaling the stones easily to reach the rooftop. Once there, she carefully leans...
  5. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Pa'avu leans against the wall of the alley, Hazard seated at her side, her own eyes idly watching the remaining merchants finish packing up their wares for the night. Her attention is caught by harsh words given sharply to a small enslaved female human. The girl's face holds one of the saddest...

  7. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU cautiously makes her way across the causeway, but there is an unease in the water she occasionally must wade through, an unease which makes the stone in her skin crawl. She glances around the cavern, feeling but not quite hearing whispers, anxious not to draw Hakhaman's attention to them...
  8. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Whether it's the close proximity to her gosb'tar, which always heightens her senses, or her l'pahb'gin still vibrating within her (having just been shared with another voluntarily for the first time), PA'AVU not only hears the workmen ahead - the particularly chatty ones that her gosb'tar...
  9. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU quickly stuffs the strange substance into her pouch, knowing that her gosb'tar will find it useful later. As vibrations from the cosmic scream shake the goliath's body, her l'pahb'gin feels the challenge issued and digs deep to bring forth not stone this time but iron - the iron wolf of...
  10. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU senses her body's density suddenly increase and grow heavier as her l'pahb'gin seeks to protect her. Feeling more solidly in place as her feet melt into and become one with the spongey-yet-rocky-berg-now-part-goliath, she is now able to regain a firm grasp on her gosb'tar, wrenching him...
  11. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU gasps for breath as she bobs in the purple ocean and twists this way and that to try to glimpse a berg of some sort to which they can swim and on which they can pull out of this viscous liquid. All of this happens as she assures that Chanvati's face is above the surface. Usually her...
  12. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU smirks down at the urchin who threw the hairpin and murmurs to her, "Really, Padma? You thought to get past me, again?" before grabbing a handy bit of scaffolding to swing herself up to the nearby roof. Landing softly on the tiles, the goliath draws herself up to her full height and...
  13. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    As the warlock scuttles away, PA'AVU – still breathing harshly – briefly considers following him and finishing the job. Then the priestess’s own exodus catches her attention, and the goliath follows her around the corner instead. Pa’avu finds her, huddled against the cathedral’s walls, still in...
  14. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    At the sight of the slithering form threatening Omthala's Lucent Messenger, PA'AVU bounds over the prostrate forms of the faithful to protect her, drawing upon the power of l'pahb'gin to empower her endurance. As soon as the goliath is within arm's length of the smoky form, she takes a deep...
  15. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    After effacing herself before Gae’al, Pa’avu says to her (without rising), “I thank you, Zel’kisstr’,* for this generous opportunity to face you in challenge and to earn the right to ask a question of you.” At Gae’al’s murmured assent, Pa’avu sits back on her heels and asks the elder goliath if...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    In Amna’s rooms: At the sight of the two young ones, Pa’avu freezes like a statue, uncharacteristically unsure of her next steps. Chanvati’s voice is immediately in her mind: “brilliant idea, Pa’avu: become the statue of their champion and yours and send them off to their caretaker and to bed!”...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    We forgot to consider the safe haven that protects our House via the alliance with the sect of Omthala (which restricts Imperial Authority on estate grounds). This means we need to sever ties between Chanvati's uncle Tarquin and cousin Amna and the sect in order to fully implement our plan. This...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Hearing the inquisitor’s words, Pa’avu turns her gaze inquiringly to her gosb’tar for instruction. Chanvati, smiling slightly, says to her, “show your puissance, just as you did against that mul in Olivander’s cage.” She continues to gaze at him a moment as his subtle emphasis sinks in. Then she...
  20. Nephis

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Pa’avu begins her nightly chthonic ritual sitting cross-legged on the floor of the antechamber of Chanvati’s rooms (she would prefer to be outside where her hands could connect more directly with the earth but knows she must be closer at hand, particularly now). She breathes the cleansing night...
