    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Infuriated, PA’AVU stomps her foot powerfully down on the chamber’s floor, the thunderous CRACK sending soundwaves vibrating through both the air and the stone. Her deep voice is strengthened with the aid of her gosb’tar’s psionic power and resounds upon the walls. She bellows the following in...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU quickly bites out “stop!” in both the common tongue and in Giantish. She then makes a sharp barking alpha-growl at the diseased hound, staring directly into its eyes and causing it to lie down in submission (if only for the moment). Laying her hand on her own Hound’s head, she murmurs...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    We're choosing the SC rather than immediate combat, subject to change with the outcome of the roll. PA’AVU calmly steps forward, sword in hand but blade resting on the chamber’s floor. The goliath stares at the skin of the intruders, lesions oozing iron-colored crystals visible on their arms...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    [Flashback to an earlier moment in Chomrok]: PA'AVU lies back in one of the cooling pools, eyes unfocused, letting her thoughts float through her mind like dust motes. Her lips smile slightly as she remembers how – in the Before-Time – one of her fellow younglings, frustrated by his inability...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    The older students jokingly referred to The Test as the Total Perspective Vortex. A kind of maze of mind-forged manacles whereby a teacher displays to a student the frailties and limitations of their own perspective so that they can learn to navigate past such obstacles, use discipline and...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    After hearing these words from the great K’mniich’ themself, PA’AVU walks a few paces up the mountain slope and kneels down, prostrating herself for a long moment. Then she sits up and removes her armor and gauntlets and places them by her side. Next, she holds out her arms, palms upward, and...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU gazes longingly up the ascending path, her l'pahb'gin pulled sympathetically toward the call of the Primal Beast. However, her protective nature gives an even stronger pull toward the downward spiraling path where she can see rising steam and smoke. She extends her spiritual body into the...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    CHANVATI holds his palms splayed above the burbling mud where Pa’avu’s giant head is submerged. Though faint through the intervening muck—and more significantly, her spirit’s transit to another plane—Pa’avu’s thoughts are still accessible to him, communication possible through the lingering...

    LEVEL UP PA'AVU CHANVATI HAZARD THE DOG (H'Z'LAHTO) BITA-BOUSSEH The "burial mounds" Gae'al referred to are more "mud fountain-baths" than what would typically be signified by the term. Some admixture of warm, flowing clay and earth burble up from some reservoir within the mountain...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    “Gosb’tar, I think there is a way,” PA’AVU says hesitantly. She approaches the bedrock, kneels, and takes in a voluminous breath. Exhales. Inhales again, then, breathing out, strikes the stone with her iron palm. A crack opens. Pa’avu scrambles to her feet. The stone crumbles into a thousand...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    Despite their both being exhausted and sorely wounded, mentally and physically, PA’AVU and HAZARD remain vigilant and watchful as they seek to end the skirmish. Therefore they are ready when the aberrant winged lizard attempts to escape through the air. Acting upon instinct, Hazard leaps forward...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU takes point as the Old Way on which they traverse passes through The Gray Grove. She has cautioned the others to follow her steps as closely as possible, watching her hands for instruction. She is grateful for their quiet for several reasons but especially so she can be more fully within...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    The night being slightly cooler than the day, PA'AVU has opted to sleep out on the balcony, guarding entry by means of the courtyard, leaving her Hound guarding against inner entry by lying in front of the door to the suite of rooms. Gratefully breathing in the fresh air, the goliath gazes at...

    NOTE: this post below reflects why Pa'avu was able to know the tactical information for the combat denoted above. [Flashback]: PA'AVU sits snugly inside one of the wagons with her fellow young ones: their clan is on their way to their dark season lands, where the cold of the Storm Roc Mountains...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU struggles to hold both her concentration and the wyvern's reins, but in her great weariness the task is difficult. She leans forward and pleads softly, "Z'maj'ta*, we can do this! Just a little further, ... please!" The tone is too plaintive, the goliath knows, but what else can she do...

    The Slave and Her Sovereign

    PA'AVU darts swiftly to the panicking horses, grabbing their bridles and speaking calmly to them in her native Giantish. They roll their eyes at first, but soon calm to her gentle speech and touch. The goliath - continuing to murmur softly to them and to hold their bridles in one hand - reaches...
