The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter IV

[Verbatim]

Letting his companions speak to Naamani, Ayden reached inside the magical bag and withdrew the two cloaks from within. Placing the eggs gently on the ground, Ayden placed the enchanted cloak once more inside the bag, leaving the secured bloodstained cloak beside the eggs.

<Draconic>"The head of your sister is within the cloak, a sign that our words are backed by our actions. While I do not know what the future holds for your clan, as well as the people of Orchard Meadows, I pray that Finder will shine his blessings on you all. If you have need of me, or my companions, you have but to call upon us..."

Turning to leave with the others, Ayden smiled as his companions were already planning on returning to the well, just to be safe.

"While I do not know what paths we left unchecked, I do know that I have called upon all of Finder's blessings for the day. In the morning, I can call upon him for assistance once more, and be of more use in the well, should her mate lurk within."

Teleri nodded in agreement. "That seems to be a sound course of action," she said, hiding a huge yawn behind her hand.

 

[Jarval]

"Yes, I'm all for getting some sleep, but I'll drop in on Mother Grundy as we pass by." Andreas says. "After all, I'm sure she'd appreciate some notice of the quantity of items we're wanting identified.

"As for the well, as I said, I'm not sure we're likely to run into her mate, if she even had one, and I possibly use gender incorrectly in this case, although Naamani did refer to Tyrinth as her sister implying that nagas do have gender, which does rather undermine any case that might be made for them being hermaphrodites. I fear I am woefully underinformed when it comes to reptiles..." He frowns thoughtfully.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri grinned as they walked into town. "Well, if nothing else we should at least warn the new mayor to make periodic checks on the well and the water-ways beneath. It is a very tempting sanctuary for the local noxious wild-life," she said dryly.

Calenthang keeps his laughter at Andreas' remarks to himself, although his amusement is clear on his face. He rubs his eye with his wrist in an attempt to just look tired.
He walks over to Ayden and speaks to him in a quiet voice, not wanting to sound mocking.
"Surely Finder would inform his faithful if there were any other nagas below?" he asks, more to strengthen the overall confidence that there are no more threats in the well than to question the strength of his companion's deity.

 

[Velmont]

"Well, I am not that sleepy, and I have still many arrows and tricks in my bag, but one thing is sure, if I don't take care of Felmir before he sleep, I am sure I'll heard about it."

 

[kirinke]

OOC: assume that teleri takes care of her animals whenever she gets a chance as well as basic equipment/weapon/clothing upkeep and other such things.

 

[Majin]

As the others make for the inn to retire for the night Andreas makes his way to Mother Grundy's shop to inquire about item identification. Upon his arrival Mother Grundy informs him she has enough spells left for the day to ID four items of his choice, (the rest she'll take care of tommorrow) which will they be?

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity has no opinion on what items should be identified immediately and so says nothing. Instead, she goes back to the inn with the others. "I am going to speak with Torm," she says and goes to her room. Once there, she strips off her armor and lays her weapons aside carefully. She takes out her sword and cleans it almost tenderly. When she finishes, she leaves the inn for the common yard, wearing loose clothes and no shoes.

"Torm, I offer myself to you and your service eternal. Hear my words and view my actions that I may be deemed worthy." She bows slightly and then moves smoothly into a series of stretches that look suspiciously like attacks and defenses. The sun sets just as she finishes and offers another bow. "Your servant thanks you for another day in your care." As she walks back to the inn, her head is clear and she feels refreshed. She eats a simple but filling meal and then retires to her room to wash and ready herself for the morning.

 

[kirinke]

After a simple meal and a drink, she goes back to her room in the inn; takes care of her weapons and basic gear, giving StormArmour that promised cleaning.

As the sun sets and sky darkens, Teleri gazes out of the window. A full moon, it's more than time. Teleri thinks as she strips down and puts on a simple dark blue clerical robe with white embroidery.

She sits cross-legged, facing that full moon as it begins its dance through the sky. "The moon sings, the stars dance, fire burns, water tumbles from the mountains high..." she murmurs, preparing herself for a full mediation ceremony.
