Destiny's Tears-Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow Part II

Zykovian T'Erilan Male Altanian Hps: 17/18

*In Seelie/Eldish/HP*

Zykovian looked to the Nymph and tried to be understanding. He took a deep breath and cleared his throat, his eyes looking toward the ends of the hallway and the ceiling.

"Molpe, I understand you've been through a lot - I do," Zykovian said quietly. "This Wei-han character left on foot from here - and it is my guess that he is no longer on the estate grounds. He knows you're speaking tomorrow so at worst you won;t see him til tomorrow . . . this morning . . . at the convocation. We need to leave here though and get somewhere safer."

Looking to the others, Zykovian laid out his plan for departing the villa, "I'm thinking we head out, Mhrazhar and Fedowin at point, Molpe, Abdiel and Glamour in the middle, with Melody and myself as rear guard. We head out of the Noble's quarter with a purpose away from the docks and laour wards. Depending on what we encounter - we can head to Laughing Sail or elsewhere, if needed."

Molpe Lillypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

Molpe seemed to shrink a little at the mere mention of the Laborer’s Ward but she did manage to reply.

Seelie/Eldish: [sblock]“That makes some sense,” Molpe admitted while she nervously fretted, “but what if Wei-Han is in need of aid? Which way did he go?” [/sblock]

[sblock][OOC: I need a Mojiin word for 'Firefly' or 'lightening bug' or 'bug of light' or something like that.

*There is a lingering aura of Corruption on several of the objects the Nymph (Molpe) has touched, and there was a moderate aura of Corruption on the assassin (Glamour) herself, but then she casts a spell (see the above post) and it is gone, at least for now.*

So let me make sure I am understanding this correctly. The Turquoise (Blue) haired Nymph is (Yuri) Molpe. My Detect Corruption detects the lingering aura of magic used by someone but not magic users themselves (in Molpe's Case), assuming, of course that she cannot hide it?? Her hair bears a striking resemblance to the "Crazan Thief" (Yuri)?? and the 'Thorn Mojiin killer" (Yuri??) as well?

So as far as Detect Corruption is concerned cast magic is a corruption and those who have spells are not? Just trying to get a better feel for what qualifies here... I also want to make sure that those Zealots and I do not detect things exactly the same so similar problems are avoided in the future...

...and Glamour (the black haired Rowaini 'Assassin') is Corrupted period, most likely falling under the 'Evil creature with so many hit die' category?? She casts a spell and no longer appears as corrupted, most likely an aura hiding spell of sorts or is an EI??

Oh... and Molpe is the one who just bucked me down and healed me?? ][/sblock]

How about Liiral for firefly?

OK, let me try to straighten this out: The turquoise-haired Nymph is Yuri/Molpe. Her hair is exactly the same as the thief and the Mojiin assassin, plus the hair of the person who dyed her hair ruby-red and then put a bounty on the Rosethornes. Your Detect Corruption is not like the Sacra Champions/Zealots/Inquisitors at all--it does not detect magic, period. Only Corruption. Magic is not corruption, just taint and some specific flavours of evil. usually the worst kinds (murderers will have a taint, for instance, though it eventually fades to lingering and then is gone). Importantly, the only Taint of which Mhrazhar knows that does not fade naturally over time is the Dragonlord taint of defiling Arris (which requires long meditation in harmony with a lush natural environment to remove).

Glamour didn't do anything, actually, nor was she the one who appeared corrupted--it was Yuri/Molpe who was detected as corrupted and then cast her spell and no longer appeared so. Yuri/Molpe both knocked you out with magic and healed you.

Let me know if I just confused you more?

Edit: Just noticed you bolded the words Nymph and Assassin. They both refer to Yuri/Molpe. Glamour is just an innocent dressmaker as far as the group is concerned. It was the turquoise-haired Nymph who killed the Mojiin after all.

[SBLOCK]“Sounds good. Move!”[/SBLOCK]

*Glamour finally gathers her nerves and protests in Seelie:*
[SBLOCK]
"Wait, why are you taking us out of my protected villa and to some inn? It looks to me like you just want to take us out and expose us where we are more vulnerable to give you a greater hold..."

Mhrazhar, Mojiin Avenger HP: 20/20

Mhrazhar looks to Abdiel and then nods towards Molpe and speaks

[Mojiin][sblock]"Our Molpe is Corrupted (Moderately) and then it cleared when she cast a spell. There is some explaining that needs to be done. If she is our thief and Sister slayer there are crimes to be answered for?"[/sblock] The Mojiin scrutinzes the nymph closer and looks upon her with a predatory eye.

"Wait, why are you taking us out of my protected villa and to some inn? It looks to me like you just want to take us out and expose us where we are more vulnerable to give you a greater hold..."

"You mean other than the fact that they're already here, on the grounds, in your villa . . . and somehow had no problem getting in already. How else is your villa protected? Wei-Han ran off, any powers of your own to help out - if so, we could use your help . . . it's been a long, long day already," Zykovian replied.[/SBLOCK]
*Zykovian left out a frustrated sigh, then motioned for everyone to get moving.*

*In Seelie/Eldish/HP*[sblock] "If you want to stay, that's fine with me. I only offered to help you because I thought it was the right thing to do," Zykovian commented.[/sblock]

In Rowaini, Seelie, Eldish, Altanian, Mojiin:
"Look, I don't know what any of this is about. I'm just a simple fashion designer and frankly, neither you nor any bandits should have been able to enter my villa past the Repulsion wards. Either way, I'm looking for a good explanation as to why we should expose ourselves to an ambush on the streets as opposed to holing up in here to recover our strength and spells."

[SBLOCK]“Yeah, your wards are pretty good to keep out rats, but not much else. Hope they were not overly expensive. Anyways, we will leave now, you can come with us and enjoy our protection, which is not much, but more than your fancy wards at least, or stay behind and be on your own. Your decision. Just be quick about it.”[/SBLOCK]
