Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Wei-Han frowns as well*

"On the heights, the path is paved with brades in arr dilections, or so my peopre say...In tluth, if that is youl plefelence than there is no way out that would not dishonour me. To allow this would bring dishonour, but to move against youl plefelence would bling mole."

*Although he only speaks of honour, it is clear that this idea is painful for him in some other way, even though Molpe is the one who might experience physical pain...but nonetheless he whispers*

"I...I will herp you do whatever you desile...most Honourable and Radiant Rady..."

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe considers Wei-Wan’s words very carefully. He wasn’t saying it, and she suspected it was this honor he kept talking about, but she suspected that he didn’t approval, and more than likely loathed, the idea of her sleeping with the lewd man. Her request for him to be by her side had given that much away but they didn’t seem to have a choice in the matter or did they? She thought to herself, Maybe his greed is stronger than his lust. *

“Tell him, ‘to choose between the coins or his lust but that he can’t have both.”[/sblock]

*Wei-Han nods*

"I doubt he wirr aglee, but..."

*Wei-Han asks the man and the man grunts a quick reply.*

"He says he wants both."

*Meanwhile, Esperanza has been watching on.*

"Wait what's going on?" she asks, "Why aren't you beating up the bad guys? Hmmm....Oh, I get it now! I thought that I should fight against the bad guys but now I see that I should sleep with them instead! I'm not sure why, but Miss Molpe is my hero, so if she thinks its a good idea, then it must be!"

--Hmmm, so it's known it's a female who took it, whose fond of Amaranthian flowers. Two ways to try and track it, how the thief knew enough to get away with the theft and where someone would go to hide from the Mojinn and the Rosethorns.-- I'll start trying to track down info on the flower and a) where they can be obtained b) who has bought them recent enough for it to be fresh and c) if there is anything special needed to care for them. I'll also look for info on the Altanian T'Erilan and on the leader of the Rosethorns, perhaps they would be willing to share information and money, or pay (in many types of coin) in the case of the Alire. I'll also pay Eleqounce a visit. --At least 2 talented and beautiful women so far, plus a gem of quite worthy money. I think they evening is off to a wonderful start!--

OOC: I'm not sure how my GP/SP/CP matches up with your coinage, could you just let me know when I'm running low and will have to charm some more money out a matron?

Abdiel Lyanthra, Mojiin Preserver

Zykovian & Melody:
[SBLOCK]

"I do have a few more questions about the Arris, if you don't mind terribly. Do you perchance happen to know how large the gem is . . . how transportable . . . are their any auras that are particular to it . . . as a longshot - have you ever touched the gem itself?"

"Unfortunately I will not be able to help you very much. I do not know how large it is, as I have never seen it, only heard stories of it. Obviously I have never touched it. However, I do know that if ever I came to be less that one tree length away from it, that I would be able to detect its presence."

Upon hearing Zykovian speaking to someone in a language that he does not understand, Abdiel frowns, causing the frill on his head to fan out more, making it much more prominent. He continues with irritation apparent in his deep rumbling voice.

"May I inquire what it is that you are saying when you are speaking to the others? Maybe it is different in your world, but we find it to be very rude to speak in a language that someone does not understand without at least apologizing for having to do so."

OOC: Who are you speaking to in Altarian? Could you possibly include all of the non-spoken parts in a general stat block, with a separate one for things said in Altarian? I have no idea what is going on. [/SBLOCK]

*8 Shiftcoins and a few hours later, here's what you find out:

The flowers are only found on Amaranthia because they die anywhere else. The only things that would serve to keep one alive are the application of expensive magics specifically designed to keep the flower alive, or, more likely, constant contact with an Amaranthian Nymph.

You can't buy them here because they'd die, and the price of the magic would make it really really expensive to keep it in a shop hoping for a buyer.

Zykovian was last seen headed to the Laughing Sail Inn, which is also a favourite watering hole for Eloquence. It is assumed that he is going for a rendezvous.

Alire has not been seen recently, since she went off in search of the Jewel with one of her Mojiin, but it seems like she may be further along on the trail than Zykovian is.*

Fedowin, Rowaini Lover




[sblock] Allrighty! I'll head for the Laughing Sail to see what I can find out from those who heard/saw the conversation between Zykovian and Eleoquence, and of course, get a description of her. Depending on what/if anything I learn there, I'll either chase those leads or start trying to backtrack around the location where the gem was kept to see who remembers a nymph looking innocent and asking questions. I'll also put out feelers to see if anyone has any idea where Alire went. [/sblock]

*You enter the Laughing Sail Inn, scanning the place a bit. There's one large common room here, full of an odd variety of people, and it looks like there's another in the back. The innkeeper is a beautiful Altanian girl with silver-blue hair, exactly the same as the colour of the scales of a dragon-thing (must be a Mojiin!) sitting in a table near the front, along with an cloaked Altanian male matching Zykovian's description and, even better, one of the loveliest Rowaini girls that you have ever seen.*

*The Altanian innkeeper waves a greeting to you and smiles, beckoning you to come meet her, as she finishes dealing with a large blond man wearing a horned helmet.*

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe turns her attention from the debate to the little girl pulling on her dress for attention. With a very neutral yet serious expression that seems so out of place on her lovely features Molpe scoops up Esperanza and takes a few steps away from the others a very. *

“I try my best not to live a nonviolent path, it’s not an easy path as it sometimes force to do something you wouldn’t normally or want to do, but I find it to be a rewarding way of life… I won’t and I don’t sleep with most that think ill of me but if I do and it prevents bloodshed and death than it’s the lesser evil.”

“My way of life is different, its based upon what I and how I grew up, and my body would react different to men than yours will but that’s a talk you will need to have with your mother.”

* Pausing from her talk with Esperanza Molpe looks up at Wei-Han and a small frown formed on her features, he looked to be in pain, agony, and worried about something, and her talk with Esperanza gave her an idea way. His views had to be considerably different than hers, and this division was no greater than their view on sex… He saw it either as her being raped while he stood there powerless to stop it or her saw her a whore while she on the other hand saw the man as a simple annoyance if he didn’t raise a hand against her and for the first time she didn’t just fell doubt in her choice… she also felt it was wrong. *

Still looking at Wei-Han, a small hopeful smile on her lovely face, Molpe asked softly, “Little one? Is their another path to your house that we could backtrack and take?” [/sblock]

*Smile, wink at the bartender and starts wending through the crowd, being sure to smile and nod to any and all ladies in passing. Definitly doing my best to listen to the conversation of the lovely lady from home, and trying to read lips in thier conversation.
