A Warping of the Blood

[Erekose13]

"I too would welcome the chance to help you right this wrong. And for the opportunity to speak to you in more detail about the dragons for I like most have never seen or met one." replies Scinathar.

What makes them so superior? Why wouldn't the dragons accept the mohj as their emmisaries. I know many mohj who would jump at the chance. the mohj thinks to itself.

*Vayj's eyes fill with sorrow, and he shakes his head.*

"Lyana...in so many ways your twin, Soevi...but there is nowhere to find her. The only way is to corner the villain that Ra-Pharod found after ten years and see if I can find her once I'm there...I'm afraid that in that sense I've wasted your glass on my silly nostalgia. I hope that my previous payment will suffice, though...Or if you don't want it to go to waste, you could drink it if you like..."

*Soevi has a strange, bittersweet smile on her face. She raises the glass in Vayj's direction and takes a drink. Her eyes widen in appreciation as she drinks it down.*

"That's a lovely drink. What do you call it?" she asks, then shakes her head. "I'm talking about drinks and you're talking life-altering moments, forgive me. What is this villain you seek, and why does Ra-Pharod hold the key to him?"

*With a bittersweet smile that mirrors Soevi's own, Vayj replies*

"Its creator named it: Soursweet Limecreme--With a Cherry On Top Please!"

"I seek a terrible evil dark-robed figure of about loresong faen height, unique because one of his arms is a Slassan neck complete with head, and I had thought him lost to me forever after ten years of nothing...but I heard that Ra-Pharod has seen him. If true, it will be the first clue I have gained in tne years, and even a simple 'Yes' from the noble giant would do much to aid me."

*Leon listened to the conversations intently. He found, in his table-mates words, both great humor and melancholy.*

"Fascinating. Would you mind if my large friend and I join you, Ke'ch'rhal? I have never seen the combat forms of your people, and would be happy to lend my help for the chance to observe them."

*Very Quietly into Ra-Pharod's ear*
"This is perfect, we can find out if he is as tough as he looks, and recruit him to help you. Taterdhal, god of fortuitous meetings with strangers, must favor us today!"

OOC: Listen + 0

Hmmm, this could be an opportunity for some quick gold and MAYBE some help for my future endeavours.

"Actually, I may have some skills that could be of assistance. I would hate if any innocent animals were blamed for these attacks. Perhaps Vayj you should also coma along....Who knows, perhaps this Ra-Pharod will make himself known to you."

*Gives a knowing look to Ra-Pharod*

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmm...if this town is in danger, then I will protect it, whether or not it is necessary to find Ra-Pharod. It is what should be done, and...it...it is what Lyana would have wanted to do...no matter how reckless. Not to mention that Lyana could not rest soundly if she knew that her kindred spirit Soevi's tavern was in danger...Of course, if I'm to believe my sense of your recent indication, then I can only wonder why the noble Ra-Pharod has chosen not to make himself known to me yet..."

"Perhaps he is just....overly cautious. Only a giant knows what thoughts a giant thinks. I do know...what is known about Ra-Pharod. He is said to be a healer, almost one with nature, and possessed of a great humility. This humble aspect may just be why such a noble soul would obfuscate himself."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Vayj nods at the wise human's words.*

"That makes sense. I can only hope that his humility does not lead him to hurt me by never revealing himself, although if so that is clearly his choice, and I will stand by whatever he chooses."

This is perhaps...the most sobering spryte I have ever met!

"Well enough of suppositions and heavy words...Bad for the digestion!"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I apologise...I wasn't always this way...It isn't every day that I come this close to meeting Ra-Pharod and then meet a gorgeous and kind quickling faen girl who bears such a close physical and mental resemblance to Lyana..."

"And I apologise to you too, Soevi. If I seem like I'm being rude or closed to you, I would tell you that you are the first person to whom I've opened up about this matter in ten years...Lyana seemed to like you so...that I couldn't just up and leave like I usually do whenever I see a beautiful quickling faen girl..."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"You... think I'm beautiful? That's so sweet of you!" she says, her smile wide. She leans over and gives the spryte a kiss on the cheek. "I am not Lyana, but I am also a seeker of knowledge. You say you're going to seek out what's been attacking people? Let me go with you! I'm from around here, I could show you some possible hiding places. I know rune magic, I can defend myself and aid you."
