[Vile] Maiden of Pain's Redemption

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Loviana concentrates, calling Skada to her hand, and with the force of an arrow, she obeys. The scourge lashes out, tearing a deep gash in Silversilk's side as she flies to Loviana's hand. Silversilk screams and turns white as blood pours from the wound. With a look of terror, she flees the room, shutting the massive door behind her.*

*With a bit of work, Loviana manages to to work one hand free of the manacles, then takes the lockpicks in the hem of her dress and unlocks her other limbs. She finds the doors out locked, with no obvious latch or lock on the inside. Within her mind, she can tell that Orshallan is frantically trying to get to her.*

OOC - A successful hit and 19 points of damage to one very surprised dressmaker. A few Escape Artist and Open Lock checks later, you're free.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Free of her bonds and after a brief tour of her room Loviana tries to reach out for Orshallan, “My beloved? Can you hear me? I’ve freed myself of my captors… Try moving the carving next to the mirror in one of Madame Silversilk's dressing room. Be careful though, the Madame is more than she appears to be and she had two helpers.”

As she waits for any sort of reply Loviana begins to explore the camber looking for any sort of a release for the door.

OOC: Spot +11

*Examining the room carefully, Loviana notices several odd slits in the walls, like something is meant to go in them... or come out. She notices no obvious mechanisms to get out, so she'll probably have to search closer.*

Loviana! Love, I've found the dress shop, but it's locked up magically as well as physically. I bet Silversilk has another exit in one of the surrounding shops. I have sent for city guards to keep trying to the front door, and myself and some others will hunt for the other entrances. Hand on! Orshallan sends suddenly.

*For a moment there, Loviana was sure she heard a slight hissing sound from within the room...*

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Loviana absently listens to Orshallan as she steers intently at the holes in the walls, while trying to pick up any noises coming from them, she wasn’t sure but she thought she heard a hiss of some sort and one she doubted was going to do her any good.

As her sea green eyes watching the holes in the wall Loviana’s refined voice is cool and calm as she tries to reassure Orshallan, “Dearest, I can’t imagine that I can go anywhere but the gesture, and worry, is appreciated. Orshallan ,Silversilk needs to be stopped… We need to know who she truly is and just how many people know that we are here!”

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Orshallan is clearly torn, but finally agrees.*

I shall go for her, my love. Stay safe, I am sending the Guard to get you, Orshallan sends, and you feel him beginning to run.

*The hissing sound returns, louder than before. With a start, Loviana realizes that there are tiny snakes within the walls, snakes that are now starting to slither though the openings. Their bright colors show their poisonous nature.*

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Eyeing her unwanted companions wearily Loviana’s tone turns jaded, Lets hope they arrive soon as I’m not alone here… Find Silversilk, my dear, I do so want to speak to her about how she treats her customers.

Though she had scanned the room more than once Loviana double checks all four corners again but this time she takes special notice of the ceiling and of anything that can be used to remove herself from ground level.

If she sees nothing better she will investigate the table that Skada was resting on in the hopes that it would support her weight if she stood or sat upon it.

OOC: Could I have a description of anything in the room that could be used to keep the snakes from Loviana. Hooks in the ceiling, other furniture, just what was Loviana bound to? A table or a wall?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*The chamber has a stone table in the center with iron manacles at the four corners, which is what Loviana was attached to. A sturdy wooden table to the side held Skada. Pillars in the corners hold up the ceiling. The ceiling itself is covered with an iron latticework that dangles about a foot below the stone ceiling from chains; hooks project from the lattice. Climbing in the corner between the pillar and the corner of the room would allow her to reach the lattice on the ceiling.*

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Happy to avoid a confrontation with the poisons snakes Loviana gracefully climbs upon the table in the hopes that it will place her out of reach but as she touches on of the manacles of cold iron she cannot help but wonder how many people have died to the poisons vipers while being helpless bond to the table.

Using the extreme length of Skada Loviana strikes at any snake that draws to near her…

OOC: Doh! I can’t believe I forgot about the stone slab… Then again I’m rather drugged out of my mind. (Flu) How close is the wood table from the stone slab?

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*The stone slab is about eight feet away from the wooden table.*

*The snakes slither slowly on the cold stone floor, but Loviana suddenly realizes that the air is starting to warm perceptibly. The snakes begin to slither with more enthusiasum, as more and more pour out of the walls, starting to make a squirming carpet of the floor.*

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Loviana watches the snakes with growing apprehension and its doesn’t take long for her to quickly doubtful herself, “Skada, my old girl, do you have any ideas on how to get out of this one?”
