Heirs to the Burning Thrones

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

OOC - What, a 2? And are you attacking? If so, which what specifically? Are you using weapons? If so, what's the attack bonus and whatnot? Spells? If so what spell?

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

ooc: if they attack will use Bane scimitar. Spells, probably not, umm yeah and stuff. sorry.

 

[khavren]

OOC: Assuming people follow my lead, I'll take the three rounds for my casting, then double check with others to make sure they are prepared.

* Samira smiled at her mother but was cautious as she spoke, she didn’t know what she would think when she learned her daughter had been sold and was basically nothing more than property but she wouldn’t lie to her. Malika hadn’t known any better but Samira did and she would not let her go blindly into a deal that would more than likely jeopardize her happiness in the end. *

“He wasn’t, at least not when he found me, or even what most would consider as well to do. He was simply a poor struggling merchant by the name of Mas'ud, but he did take me in, and he educated me in matters that few women are allowed to be... He treated me like one of his own but as I became older I grew into a thing of desire and fearing for my safety he sold me to a sultan. I never heard of the sum but I imagine it was enough to make him rich.”

*Having nothing else to do for the moment, Shalah is content to stand in the background and allow the beautiful vision of the fire oasis to aid her in reordering her thoughts. She tries to metaphorically grab her feelings from the air and coalesce them into tangible thoughts, controlled and flowing, taking the form of poetry. Her feelings on the immaterial concept of beauty and infatuation begin to materialise. Splendour, in its essence, is merely a veil, but one that pierces through the darkness, rather than entwines...

Bewitching splendour shines through umbral shade,
Alluring temptress, delicate and fair.

...

Mere tantalising veils to hide the dearth
Of honest substance, lacking which to seal
Into eternity can never be.

...Hmmm*

"I'm sorry child. I know the women of the mortal's world do not have as much power as those of my world. Were you treated well, were you safe, even if you were counted among a sultan's jewels?" Malika asks softly.

--Are you guys OK with all those scorpions? We're fine here. We've reached the oasis and discovered that Malika is Azizah, as I suspected. Wait for my signal before approaching, though. Samira and her mother are having a moment and should not be disturbed.--

'--Shalah, the honorable heirs believe it will take too long to circle the scorpions, we are about to do battle, --' Jibril explained to Shalah mentally. '--If you would be kind as to check back in a few moments, I may be able to provide an update. Was someone expecting MArid to come this way, I wonder. If he were alone, I doubt he would have noticed the ambush and would no longer be walking among the living.--'

*The last part was actually mental wandering by Jibril, who was not really understanding of the mental communication (he thought he was alone in his head, again).*



*Jibril nodded in understanding at the instructions from the heir, Abdul. At the signalled time, Jibril concentrated . . . manifesting a ball of cold arching toward the scorpions. He was ready to mainfest another directly thereafter as necessary.*

OOC: Init rolled 13 plus 5 base for an 18 total initiative. Action: Energy ball, cold 9d6+9, empowered, 20ft radius, at the best range possible to steer the scorpions away from us and the ambush (max range 800ft).

“Yes its hard for a flower to be harmed within a cage,”

* Samira paused long enough to pull the featherblades from their hiding place, her crimson locks tumble down her shoulders as they find themselves unhindered, as she showed the weapons to her mother. *

“But the flower had better have thorns like the desert rose… Though rare, I’ve had to defend my life with these… The harem isn’t always the nicest of places.”

Tarek nods, "I will act if there is a need, I assume your skills should be more then suffecient though..."
