Heirs to the Burning Thrones

[Rystil Arden]

Isida and Samira:

[SBLOCK]
*Shalah uses her keen instincts in an attempt to sense whether the scorpions are hungry beasts out for a harem-girl snack, faithful guardians of the Fire Nymph, or something else entirely. Much as she knew that Samira was probably up for a fight, she figured that killing Malika's pets was probably not a good way to get on the fey's good side.*

OOC: Sense Motive +16

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Shalah: [sblock]The scorpians are hiding, waiting for some unsuspecting thing to come by so they can eat them. It's the scorpian way. Whether they're doing this for themselves or someone else you're not sure. Scorpians mostly-buried in sand are hard to read.[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Isida and Samira:

[SBLOCK]
*Waiting to ambush? They couldn't be working for Malika then, as she was expecting her beloved Marid, not an intruder. Besides, Samira chided herself, these were vermin anyyway, and thus unaffected by the charms of a fey such as Malika or Samira, or even Shalah's own Telepathy powers. This was going to be difficult. Shalah tries to figure out a rough estimate of how many scorpions there are. Two? Twelve? Knowing could make the difference it what power she must use.*

--Dear one, these scorpions are waiting for an ambush, and they are vermin besides, so they are not Malika's pets. Our hearts must be one if we hope to defeat them, unless you would prefer attempting to skirt them? But that would leave danger in the path of those boys behind us.--

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

Isida and Shalah:
[sblock]Samira eyes the two scorpions careful as she speaks, -- If they are indeed Malika's pets than we should skirt them and leave them be… It they are hers than we can always ask her to call them off and if they are not than you can pass a warning to Jibril, correct? --[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Isida and Samira:

[SBLOCK]
--If that is your desire dear one, then so shall it be. I'll prepare a power to strike the scorpions immediately should they attempt to attack us despite that we leave them be, for at that point they could surely not be Malika's as they have not any intelligence to determine between people, and Malika surely wouldn't have left them where they could attack Marid.--

OOC: Readying Swarm of Crystals for an attack by the scorpions, Shalah waits to follow Samira's lead on skirting the danger

[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

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

[sblock]* Samira smiles at Shalah before taking the lead, and gives the scorpions a wide berth as walks around them and leads the to harem girls. *

“Of course my love.”

OOC: If something happens she draw her featherblades as a free action with the intent of defending herself if need be.

[Evil Ujio]

*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.

Tarek will take a position towards the middle, well dressed, wearing a fine cologne with a pleasant, and hopefully wisened smile on his face.

 

[Keia]

Jibril a'Mussan (Human, Windwalker)

Jibril gathered equipment and mount and set out with the heirs on their trek across the desert to the fire oasis. Counting heads as he departed, Jibril let out an audible heavy sigh.

"Most honored Abdul," Jibril explained, "your abilities have served the group well travelling in front. If it is acceptible, I will remain toward the back with the guards. For everyone, I am simply honored to be traveling with you on this journey, wherever you feel will best display your skills would be most acceptable to me."

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

ooc: Nafessa will travel near the middle so she can be quick to the front or rear if her ablities are needed.

* Nafessa takes her place in line upon her pony with her dog close by.*
