Destiny's Tears- First Interlude

[Rystil Arden]

Zykovian:
[SBLOCK]
*108R527 sits down, relaxing all tension in her frame and thus drooping over like a wilted flower.*

*Which prepared spells is Zyk switching out--I assume he's making some swaps because he only ever needs his books around to swap his list of prepared spells.*

*Zyk's mentors' abandoned possessions don't seem to have any clues about collars for the Plebs.*

*In response to Zykovian's questions, 108R527 replies in a monotone:*

"Please note: Pleb 108R527 is not aware, though it may appear to be aware due to its mechanistic reactions."

*After pausing a bit, 108R527 continues:*

"108R527 does not have data on the search query you have described, Master."
[/SBLOCK]

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 24/28

Rystil:[SBLOCK] OOC: Zykovian is maintaining the following prepared spells: Orb of Cold, Magic Missile, True Strike. In effect, he is swapping out Expeditious Retreat and Ray of Enfeeblement. Cantrips are Ghost Sounds, Dancing Lights, Repair Minor Damage.

"Please note: Pleb 108R527 is not aware, though it may appear to be aware due to its mechanistic reactions . . . 108R527 does not have data on the search query you have described, Master."

"You know that I don't believe that you're not aware," Zykovian commented. "This is no different than a brain lock restraining collar. That is unfortunate on the data search however. Please follow me, Lyveria."

*When Zykovian is finished, he will return to the others, and ask, "Well, I've gotten everything I need here for the moment. Are we headed to the convocation as a group? I would like to stop at Laughing Sail Inn, to check on Melody and a few other things. I could meet everyone at the convocation if you want." [/SBLOCK]

Zykovian:
[SBLOCK]
(OOC: Sounds good--remember that thanks to your feat choice, your Orb does 2d8 now (plus any other modifiers for Point Blank, etc) and you get two Missiles As for Repair Minor Damage--smart move! That makes you capable of healing Lyveria if she is injured, which noone else can do right now--when did Zykovian pick up RMD, by the way? I wouldn't have thought to pick that one.)

*108R527 follows Zykovian out into the entry room.*

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 24/28

AbMM[sblock]*After several minutes, Zykovian walked back into the reception/common room area, Lyveria in tow. In S/E/HP, he stated, "Well, I've gotten everything I need here for the moment. Are we headed to the convocation as a group? I would like to stop at Laughing Sail Inn, to check on Melody and a few other things. I could meet everyone at the convocation if you want."[/sblock]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [SBlock]“I know, my sister, I know you will always protect me as would Karya, Virina, or Celimene,” Molpe spoke softly as she found the comfort she needed in her sister’s arm her tears of fright and worry replaced with shame and embarrassment, “I don’t know what came over me. I was fine, I really was but then I saw you, my sister, and I just started crying again! I'm so sorry, my sister, I'm truly ruining the wonderfulness you have planed for me!”

* Snuffling her pert nose Molpe seems on the verge of tears again as she buries her face in her sister’s breast… *[/SBlock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*As Molpe buries her face in Zarina's bosom, she feels Zarina's hand stroking her hair gently and soothingly, whispering softly in her ear as she strokes it ever-so-gently, hoping to arouse her sister's passion.*

"Oh, Sister, you could never ruin the wonderfulness because it wouldn't be wonderful without you...You're the one who makes it wonderful, and you're also the one who is going to feel wonderful, cherished, and blissful by the time we are done--the worse you feel coming in, the happier it will make us when we can bring you back to your usual happy and carefree self."

*After that, she stops talking and just continues to work on Molpe's ears, gently alternating between stroking gently and licking playfully.*
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [SBlock]* Molpe looks up with dreamy royal eyes towards Zarina as her feline sister continues to stroke and tease her sensitive ears. *

“Oh, my sister,” she gasped in between moans, “I’m must confess I’m feeling pretty carefree at the moment…” [/SBlock]

Abdiel Lyanthra

Mhrazhar (in Mojiin):[SBLOCK]

*He then turns to Abdiel to start a rather lengthy discussion*

"What did they say in response to my questions, Sister?

Abdiel responds, "They did not give any real responses. They were very vague. Erila did, however, give me a look that indicated that I should trust her. Hopefully it was not a foolish decision to trust her. Rarely have I ever felt so powerless to stop anything."

"Nemesis has granted me a gift. I know you may think that I am mindlessly devoted to our beloved mother, but justice is what matters. Justice in the eyes of Nemesis. I have practiced hard to see more of what Nemesis sees in their vile hearts - to see why he judges them so. I have walked the path that my uncle had told me of and had practiced himself.

I saw horrible things in his heart -a vision granted by Nemesis - He approached a cave where our bretheren were performing a solemn rite that I am not familiar with. The protective runes lashed out at him as he approached and they did not seem to affect him. He then lashed out at them with crystaline shards killing them all where they kneel."

Abdiel is shocked, and replies, "That is terrible! Were these crystalline shards coloured like the Crazan Arris? Can you describe what our sisters were doing in the cave? If you can, I may be able to identify what they are attempting to do. Can you describe the cave? I may have been there before. What a useful ability, hopefully we will be able to gain the maximum potential out of it, and save our brethren from this fate."

"Alire is rather interesting - she bears the wrathful and compassionate facets of our mother. The Valsian people only know betrayal. They betray their mother-land, their families, their friends, and all of those they trust eith directly or indirectly. Arris has picked her for a reason - has granted her an interesting gift, if I may say so. I do not think that Erila is part of the problem. She seems sincere. I believe that she will be with us when the time is right and her nature for betrayal will be complete."

Abdiel nods and continues, "As I have already mentioned, Erila gave me a look that asked me to trust her. I believe that she can be trusted. Hopefully, for all of us, I was not wrong. Oh, and please call her Erila, it is her proper name."

"It is intersting that Lyveria noted that 'As for the Mojiin murders, I did not witness them myself, but several of the victims were Rosethornes that Alire asked to help her search out the Jewel.'"

"Yes, that is quite interesting. How many Mojiin could possibly be in this city, I wonder? To have so many of them killed in one day is a terrible occurrence. We will have to continue the investigation."

"We need Molpe and Vhrys. We need to recover the metal thing that erased Lyveria. We also need to find out everything that we can about Zaryl Barryn. There is a man here that seems to know a lot of what happens on this planet, he might be able to get us some information. We need someone to follow him and watch his every move."

Abdiel paused, and pondered Mhrazhar's statement for a few seconds. Then replied, "I agree that we need to find Vhrys, but why do you think that we need Molpe? It seems that Vhris and Molpe do not get along, and Zykovian's mental power completely disappears whenever she is in the same area. I do not see how she will be useful to us.

I believe that Zykovian still has the metal thing that erase Lyveria's personality. The problem is that he does not know how to reverse its effect. I am sure that I cannot help him solve that problem. Although, strangely enough, as a construct, she does not appear to be an unnatural creature, which is very odd indeed.

You believe that we need to follow Zaryl Barryn? I do not think that it is necessary. As long as he does not leave the city, I should be able to track him down, with Selar's help of course. Any additional information that we can find about him should help.

Why did I let my guard down? For some reason, I believed that having the Crazan Arris in my possession would keep it safe. I have failed. I will need to once again find the Crazan Arris to redeem myself."[/SBLOCK]

Abdiel Lyanthra

AbMM:[SBLOCK]

"Well, I've gotten everything I need here for the moment. Are we headed to the convocation as a group? I would like to stop at Laughing Sail Inn, to check on Melody and a few other things. I could meet everyone at the convocation if you want."

Abdiel responds in Seelie[SBLOCK]"That is a good idea. I would like to stop by my room to pick up a change of clothing as well. Since my room is near Melody's then it will barely take any extra time. Mhrazhar and myself are ready to go whenever you are.

By the way, did you find a way to bring back Lyveria's memory and personality?"[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

 

[FreeXenon]

Mhrahzar, Mojiin inquisitor HP: 28/30

AbMM[sblock]Continuing the conversation with Abdiel

[Mojiin][sblock]

Abdiel nods and continues, "As I have already mentioned, Erila gave me a look that asked me to trust her. I believe that she can be trusted. Hopefully, for all of us, I was not wrong. Oh, and please call her Erila, it is her proper name."

You may empathize with Erila, but I empathize with Alire. Alire and I are alike, similar to how you and Erila are similar. We are two different sides our mother, wrathful and merciful.

When I mentioned a Valsian's penchant for betrayal and I referred to Erila, I have some hope here. At the moment I am hoping that she is using the illusion of (cultural) betrayal to gain closeness to her father and then her Arris/Nemesis changed being will allow the ultimate betrayal to her father and the Dragon Lords to restore balance.

Abdiel paused, and pondered Mhrazhar's statement for a few seconds. Then replied, "I agree that we need to find Vhrys, but why do you think that we need Molpe? It seems that Vhris and Molpe do not get along, and Zykovian's mental power completely disappears whenever she is in the same area. I do not see how she will be useful to us.

Molpe will most likely have this effect on all warm-blooded male and female humanoids. It is useful effect don't you think? Vhrys has very useful skills as a Dolathi and as an Elditritch Infiltrator. We need all of us and more. We are in the warm-blooded jungle and the warm-blooded will be best used to hunt within their jungles to get what we need. I am not all of that fond of Vhrys, but she seems quite useful, as will Molpe. They are too independent for a pack venture, but we will need them. Molpe will not be an issue as long as the construct has Zykovians attention. The inert construct will be like a splinter in his mind. I am hoping that it will not keep him from being alert and active in combat.

Although, strangely enough, as a construct, she does not appear to be an unnatural creature, which is very odd indeed.

What does that mean? I am not familiar with the Preserver ways or concerns? I only know that they are too lenient and not aggressive enough to make a difference.

You believe that we need to follow Zaryl Barryn? I do not think that it is necessary. As long as he does not leave the city, I should be able to track him down, with Selar's help of course. Any additional information that we can find about him should help.

We need to know if he leaves the city or leaves the planet. If he leaves the planet without us we may never find it again. If we knew where he was now I would not mind getting it back now. [/sblock]

Rystil[sblock]Regarding Abdiel's questions

That is terrible! Were these crystalline shards coloured like the Crazan Arris? Can you describe what our sisters were doing in the cave? If you can, I may be able to identify what they are attempting to do. Can you describe the cave? I may have been there before. What a useful ability, hopefully we will be able to gain the maximum potential out of it, and save our brethren from this fate.

Could you describe for Abdiel the vision and any pertinent details that I might have remembered that she would want to know or tell her if any useful information can be gleen from it? I could just copy and paste your description, but I am sure that she will need more info to determine anything useful. [/sblock][/sblock]
