Shards of Memory: The Renewal

[unleashed]

ooc: I meant Valerie, and Amaranthian view rather than Altanian (though I suppose that might work too).

Ilora laughs, though her eyes smoulder, "Ah, then you have a wound I can heal without spells. I mend hearts just as well as I break them, and I enjoy it more."

Ilora nods, her pack already at hand. Turning to Zaeryn (coincidentally looking to see if any strangers are within earshot) again she asks, "But where are we heading, exactly? And what kind of conditions and climate can we expect?"

OOC: Yes, I thought you meant Valerie, but it’s funnier this way... though there was no reaction from Vanessa, which sort of dulled it just a little. As for the Altanian/Amaranthian thing, those two sets of belief are probably the closest match on that particular subject. So I just took it as if you said Amaranthian anyway and that Zaeryn had some idea of what those views are, as they are somewhat similar to those of his own people.

“Perhaps, though I think I will carry that particular wound to the end of my days in one way or another, as I would never want to forget the time we had together,” Zaeryn remarks with a fleeting smile. “As for wounds that require magic to heal. Well, while I wasn’t affected like Diedrik, I was drained of a little of my personality and persuasiveness in the same battle which doesn’t seem to be coming back on it’s own. I take it that is also currently beyond any of your powers?” he asks, looking to all three of his new companions.

“As to where we’re going, we’re on our way to explore the...” Zaeryn looks around too before adding in a hushed tone, more in fun than out of any need, “... Empyreal Shards. I’m not sure what we’ll find when we get there.”

She continues bantering with Zaeryn, waiting for the time to depart.
"Ah, but even that wound will heal, and though it may leave a scar upon your heart it won't stop your blood from pumping."
She raises an eyebrow in surprise, "Your personality had been drained? I find that hard to believe. I will have to be careful around you when you're healed."

 

[Shayuri]

Valerie nods. "If it's not healing at all on its own, the magic that caused it is stronger than mine."

She shrugs. "We'll have to find a more powerful healer."

“Yes, such a loss will likely be less painful in time,” Zaeryn offers with a smile. “Though I don’t think you have too much to fear when I’m healed, Ilora, as the draining hasn’t affect me too severely... it’s probably not all that noticeable, but I can just feel something isn’t quite right.”

Valerie nods. "If it's not healing at all on its own, the magic that caused it is stronger than mine."

She shrugs. "We'll have to find a more powerful healer."

“Yes, I feared as much... though I didn’t hold out much hope I would be rid of such a malady quickly. I’m sure your skills will be strong enough to heal it eventually though, Valerie,” Zaeryn offers with a confident smile.

“Well, I think we’ve dawdled here long enough, so we’d best get going. If everyone will follow me, I’ll take you to the ship... we can collect any extra belongings along the way, and continue our discussion of course.”

"I've precious little. Nothing beyond the bag I carry, and the weapons on my person," Bardach says and rises to his feet, tossing down a few coppers to pay cover his drink and the tip.

“Well that’s one less detour we have to make,” Zaeryn replies, as they head out of the Pilfered Diamond and start for the Hesychia.

Ilora follows.

*Kirkesh finds that things are even more expensive here than they were in Eldiz.*

(OOC: Goods cost x3 instead of x2.)

*The others reach the Hesychia, a sturdily-built modified Tradesman that seems to have been optimised slightly for a Spelljamming expedition, rather than hauling cargo.*

“Here we are then. I’ll introduce you to the captain first, if she’s available, and then we’ll sort out your accommodations.”

*Leaving the new crewmembers to wait or follow as they wish, Zaeryn heads to the captain’s cabin and knocks on the door.*
