Slagg Bonecruncher: Tralg/Male (Giant 1/ Raider 2/ Gladiator 3)

[sblock=Tralg]“She wrong how?[/sblock]

* The tralg grunted in his ugly language again but he seemed distracted as he looks towards the ground. *

RA: [SBLOCK]

OOC: Is there in clumps of flowers, weeds, or pretty girl stuff in the surrounding area (10 feet or so) for Slagg to give to Pleione?

M'ress, Female Feldori Animist/Gladiator

[SBLOCK=Seelie]

“My you take offense from the simpest words Feldori, did I say you were not welcome to join our quest...no...I but said unto this point YOU had not been a help, and said nothing to disparage you or your companions, but I will now. You M’ress are naught but a bully and a braggart to strike first and then claim the bow won fairly, return it to the nymph and go speak to the elders...”

[/SBLOCK]
*M'ress laughed at the Lacerta, then regarded him - speaking in the same tongue.*
[sblock=Seelie] "Why I'll do exactly that, friend Lacerta. your analysis, after knowing me for mere moments has struck me to my very core!" M'ress said still full of mirth. She then turned serious and gave a short bark, shaking her head, "Words . . . just words."[/sblock]
*M'ress spoke with the Lacerta, laughing, then turned serious for a few words. She looked to the Tralg and spoke.*
[sblock=Tralg] "This one called me a bully and braggart," M'ress laughed, "He doesn't know there was no bragging in the pits. I think Pleione is right, we should play nice with them and maybe they'll be friends with us. Ready to speak with the elders?"[/sblock]

*Looking to the bright-haired one, M'ress inclined her head to the nymph and spoke in her tongue.*
[sblock=Seelie] "This is a fine bow, you should be honored to wield it," M'ress replied. "I cannot just give it to you . . . it's been too long. However, I will set the bow gently here . . . " [/sblock]*M'ress set the wind bow gently against a tree.* [sblock=Seelie] ". . . and someone were to find it here, well, that's different . . . ," M'ress finished, turning away from the bow.[/sblock]
*With that said she turned and walked to Jhirri toward the village proper.*

 

[Bront]

Whinoah nods to M'ress and says to her.
[sblock=Seelie]"Thank you."[/sblock]
Whinoah waits a moment and then quickly retrieves her bow, returning it back to it's quiver, where it disapears. She turns to the Pleione and smiles.
[sblock=Seelie]"And thank you Sister. Perhaps sometime we may talk later of how you came to ride that male, and I will tell you of how I came to be here."[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Pleione replies to Slagg haltingly:* [SBLOCK=Tralg]"Show her...Slagg-Friend...good friend"[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Slagg]*Approaching the village, there isn't really too much in the way of flowers, but there's always clumps of random grass and shrubs around.*[/SBLOCK]

*As M'ress lays the bow down, Pleione smiles brightly, and she waves to Whinoah and Trayah as they pass:*

[SBLOCK=Seelie]"Bye you two! See you in a little bit! I'd be glad to talk with you then, Sister."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Fallen Star Trio]*Following Jhirri, the three of the fallen star reach the village proper, and she leads them to a slight depression where many Lacerta and Feldori are gathered to discuss their trouble. At least someone from the village seems to have overseen the incident above, and though they gaze fearfully at the Tralg and many shiver or huddle back with their loved ones away from him, no one moves against him. Jhirri leads them to the centre of the depression, where several Lacerta, including one of the Lacerta, an elderly-looking one with a crest around his head and blue scales that are paling with age, who steps forward along with a blonde-haired Feldori.*

*Jhirri bows to the elders and then scampers away.*

*The old Lacerta speaks in Seelie:*[SBLOCK=Seelie]"Greetings, travellers, you are the ones who came with the Fallen Star as the prophecy predicted?"[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=M'ress](OOC: M'ress recognises the Feldori as Sirra, an old friend and companion from her time before she was taken away)[/SBLOCK]
[/SBLOCK]

Whinoah finds a nearby suitable tree and climbs up till she finds a nice open branch to sit on, perhaps 10-15 feet up. She watches the others head into town to speak to the council, waving to Pleione from her perch if she spots her looking this way.

[sblock=By the tree (Should be everyone who's not the Fallen Star Trio)] Whinoah calls out to Trayah[sblock=eldish]"So, what do you make of those from the fallen star? And how do you deal with such stagnent air? There's hardly even a breeze around here."She sits in the tree and absentmindedly flips her hair, as if hoping it might catch some wind.[/sblock]

 

[unleashed]

Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

*Trayah shakes his head sadly at M’ress’ words and actions, deciding not to provoke her with innocent words again.*

[SBLOCK=Rystil]If only she’d been so willing to use words rather than her aggression earlier...[/SBLOCK]
*Trayah inclines his head respecfully to Pleione as she waves, but offers no words at this time.*

[SBLOCK=By the Tree (Whinoah & Rystil)]*Waiting until the three from the Fallen Star are gone, Trayah approaches Whinoah in her tree and speaks.*

[SBLOCK=Eldish]“Well you already know my thoughts on M’ress, I think she’s going to be trouble unless the elders can get through to her. Pleione seems to be a wise and calming influence on the pair, though more the Tralg than M’ress, and as for Slagg well I have no idea, though he seems to respond calmly to the words of Pleione. As for the air, well the jungles are nearly always close like this with little breeze, it doesn’t bother me. What to you think of them Whinoah?”[/SBLOCK]
*He then whispers in an airy voice.*

[SBLOCK=Auran (whispered)]“Ketheath, could you create a little breeze for our airy friend up there, she’s finding the air here a little thick.”[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]

Slagg Bonecruncher: Tralg/Male (Giant 1/ Raider 2/ Gladiator 3)

* Seeing nothing colorful Slagg gives up and trudges on as he mauls over Pleione’s word. He paused in his mauling only long enough to mimic Pleione’s wave back to the ones they had just left. *

[sblock=tralg]“Slagg likes better when pretty Pleione talks to him,” the Tralg grunted in confession, “not ignore him.”[/sblock]

* As they moved closer to the others and Slagg saw their terrorized looks he slowed his pace down and slowly lowered Pleione gently to the ground. He held his hand out for her to hold as he grunted at her. *

[sblock=tralg]“Slagg scary. Pretty Pleione should lead. Hold hands. Deal?”[/sblock]

* The monstrous sized Tralg, hunched over so the fair and lithe nymph could more easily reach and hold his hand, was lead by Pleione to their final destination.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Trayah Only]"This is not where my local breeze is flowing, but I could ask the local wind spirits, though they are flighty and unpredictable...If you channeled my energy within you, you could create breezes at will."[/SBLOCK]

 

[Keia]

M'ress, Female Feldori Animist/Gladiator

[sblock=Fallen Star Trio]*M'ress approached cautiously, uncertain of the area or waht to expect. Their nervousness was palable and almost made M'ress want to scream so they'd jump and relax, but she didn't.*

[SBLOCK=Seelie]

"Greetings, travellers, you are the ones who came with the Fallen Star as the prophecy predicted?"

"Greetings, elder," M'ress replied, copying the bow that Jhirri offered to them. "We fell from the sky, Elder, a short distance from here. We were told of trouble in the area . . . and have come to learn more."
[/SBLOCK]
*M'ress replied to the Lacerta (and translated for the Tralg). M'ress looked at the blond-haired Feldori for several moments, as if trying to place her.*

[sblock=Seelie] "Si- . . . Sirra . . . is that you?" M'ress asked tentatively.[/sblock]
*M'ress directed a tentative question to the blond Feldori.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[unleashed]

Trayah, Lacerta Shaman

[SBLOCK=By the Tree (Whinoah & Rystil)]*Trayah whispers in an airy voice again.*

[SBLOCK=Auran (whispered)]“Channel your energy...how do you mean Ketheath? I know I could use the protective wall of wind you share, but that doesn’t last long...”[/SBLOCK][/SBLOCK]
