Heirs to the Burning Thrones

[Brother Shatterstone]

Samira: Flamekissed Half-Nymph/Female (Gestalt: Unfettered/Rogue/Seductress)

* As she broke the kiss Samira gave Shalah a curious glance as she wonder why she had withheld a technique such as that, it wasn’t common within the harem but nor was it unheard of either, but her curiosity turned into a sly grin. *

-- For the pleasure? Not this time, I think the two of us shall suffice but maybe some other time but we should inform him of are plans to sneak away. We owe him that much courtesy and he might want to escort us. --

*Shalah sends a mental image of a nod to Samira, then addresses Jibril*

--Honoured Jibril, Samira wishes to speak with Malika first, as you must understand she has many questions for the fire nymph. The two of us will be leaving by ourselves before the rest of the group heads out with Marid and Kadar's guards. We thought that it would be best to tell you, so that you may see fit to provide us with whatever guards as you deem appropriate; hopefully any guards can be discreet about leaving as well. Thank you for your vigilance; you have done a most admirable job of protecting us so far! You have proven yourself to be the most skillful guardian for whom we heirs could ask.--

Jibril a'Mussan (Human, Windwalker)

--Honoured Jibril, Samira wishes to speak with Malika first, as you must understand she has many questions for the fire nymph. The two of us will be leaving by ourselves before the rest of the group heads out with Marid and Kadar's guards. We thought that it would be best to tell you, so that you may see fit to provide us with whatever guards as you deem appropriate; hopefully any guards can be discreet about leaving as well. Thank you for your vigilance; you have done a most admirable job of protecting us so far! You have proven yourself to be the most skillful guardian for whom we heirs could ask.--

'--Most radiant Shalah, I had intended for our most wondrous Samira to speak with the fire nymph first. You may yet travel with us, protected from the dangers of the desert alone, and, in traveling with us, thereby protect us as well. Without your esteemed presence to 'speak' with the 'guards' we may not know of their real purpose. We shall stop several hundred yards away from the oasis (but still in line of sight) and allow Samira and whoever she choses to continue and discuss matters with the fire nymph. Until we speak with Samira, we will keep the 'guards' and Marid with us and out of harm's way until you return, or signal that there is danger,--' Jibril replied.

 

[Rystil Arden]

--That sounds reasonable to me, although I'm afraid there is little in the desert against which I could protect you...-- Shalah sent to Jibril --Let me relay the message to Samira and see what she thinks.--

*Shalah passes Jibril's message on to Samira, to see what her love thinks of this plan.*

 

[Evil Ujio]

OOC:Not quite sure where Tarek is in all of this, but it looks like the others have this handled, or am I wrong? Tarek is in his tent if he has one….

Tarek reclines on a divan in his tent having retired for the time being, having said his piece on the stake of the marriages, besides he really didn’t care one way or the other who the heir married, but since he was a “Priest” he is expected to show some compassion and wisdom, due his station.

Such a simple matter, marry both women, and bring them into your household, but then things are never that simple when wealth is involved is it? This will be meddlesome to be sure, but perhaps profitable? A union and good faith with this heir could fund future endeavors on behalf of myself…

Tarek fingers the crown playfully, “But at least, my efforts have not all been for naught, this little trinket just may the key a to a life of continued piousness and wealth… delicious…” he says aloud.

Samira: Flamekissed Half-Nymph/Female (Gestalt: Unfettered/Rogue/Seductress)

* Samira frowned and bit slightly lip slightly, she wanted as much time as she needed and still didn’t believe their could be a happy ending but mostly she didn’t want to lead the guards to the fire nymph and Jibril’s plan had merit in that regard. *

“Fine, that should be satisfactory… we shall do it Jibril’s way.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Shalah nodded. Then they were ready to depart.*

--Honoured Jibril, Samira has graciously agreed to your plan. Let us proceed, but remember that Marid, and to a lesser-extent probably Kadar's guards, is likely to be more fragile than we Heirs, and so he warrants protection more than we need such against the dangers of the desert.--

Abdul-Hadid Human/Genie-kin Scout



Upon thier return to the tent, Abdul begins packing, gathering his few possesions quickly, leaving explanations of the outcome of the talks with Kadar for others to explain to Marid. "I will see to gathering our four legged companions from corral, shall we meet at the weapons or at the ridge with the guards?"

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

*Nafessa watches Abdul ready his gear and listens to the outcome of the talks. She takes note when he mentions gathering the animals and grabs her pack.*

"I will go with you to the corral." She states simply leaving no room for arguement. She is tired of being left to herself.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Thusly confused, the heirs prepare their mounts and themselves for the journey. Samira slips on ahead, using stealth and graceful movement honed by years of experience to elude the guards. The fact that most are somewhat distracted by the movement of the heirs helps. Omran and Tarek join the main group and prepare themselves. In about a half-hour all is in readiness, and the group sets out across the sands.*

OOC - Could I get a quick marching order and any precautions you guys are taking? Marid will stay near the middle, Kadar's guards will play rear guard, and Suhayb and Omran will range out to the sides. The moon has not yet risen, but it isn't far from it.

Samira and Shalah: [sblock]You glide across the sand, keeping to shadows, every sense sharp. Samira's short journey to Kadar's tent has shown you the perils of the desert, and though it was easily dispatched, they are now only two. Shalah has a better inkling of what dangers they might face, and is accordingly watchful. You slink along the ridge and go where Marid told you. Far ahead you can see reddish glow on the horizon. The cold at night is quite as intense as the heat, and even with moving you soon becomes chilled. However that does not prevent you from spotting something in the lee of a large boulder on your path. There, reflected in the starlight, is a strange glittering. You've seen this before, though on a much smaller scale, in the harem and in the city. Scorpians, big ones.[/sblock]
