Aradia's adventure--Quest for the Amulet

[Andy Halfelf]

Elhac replies in Elven "good our party really needs more members, since the other left... tell me Kagegiro what kind of weapons do you use? as far i know i am the only with a bow and i think Devon is using a crossbow or something like that so we could use some more archers... if you don't know who Devon is then it is him going right there" he says pointing with at Devon that is going right over to them...

[Palin the Wizard]

Devon walks past Kagegiro and Elhac talking, and notices they speak Elven. Turning, he bows to Kagegiro. "My name is Devon," he says, also in Elven. "And you are... Kagegiro?" he asks, stumbling lightly over the strange name.

[MasterD_Evil]

Kagegiro smiles, "yes, I am Kagegiro, Rekiki warrior from the plane of Nykas," he says to Devon. He then speaks to both men, "I am proficient with any weapon on my planet, it is a requirement in our warrior class. Yet I have only brough a few with me onto this realm. My Elven mother told me that my weapons are not encountered on your world, yet they were to similar to each other. Yet last evening I saw a glance at a weapon of whom I assume to be a friend of yours. It looked quite... inferiour to the Rekiki way of weaponsmithing."

Kagegiro then continues to draw his largest sword, the blade is silvery grey in colour, while the handle is black. It is decorated with a blue tassel attached to the bottom of the handle. "On our world we call this a Katana, each warrior is given one by his master and to loose it is to become a disgrace." As he holds the blade in his hands you can see it is clearly different than the swords you've seen so far. The blade slightly curves and there is only a small seperation between the blade and handle. Kagegiro may say your swords are inferiour, but your own at least look more sturdy. He then sheathes his weapon again, continuing, "I also have a smaller sword, called a Wakizashi (imagine a short sword like weapon), and a Tanto (dagger), which we only use in special occassions, yet wear all the time." You notice how the Wakizashi has a red tassel, and the Tanto has a purple one.

"Yet besides these weapons I left my 2 other ones in my resting place. The long pole weapon has a curved blade attached, we call it a Naginata. My final weapon I brought is what you call a Composite Longbow, yet we call it Daikyu and have modified its appearance, as we can fire while kneeled and while riding on horseback."

OOC: I assume you all know what a Katana is, but your characters wouldn't, so that's why I wrote how it looks.

[Andy Halfelf]

"it pleases me that we have such a great warrior in our midst with all these weapons i am sure you could take out an entire army or at least a little one" he adds the little while smiling a little...

[Palin the Wizard]

Devon smiles, and draws his own weapon. "This is called a greatsword," he says, showing the large two-handed sword with the heavy blade. "Perhaps we shall have the honor of sparring weapons sometime?" Devon asks politely. "As I am a warrior as well as a mage, perhaps I could learn some of your apparantly excellent weapon techiniques. I have never seen such weapons before, I must say."
Devon places his sword in his sheat once again.
"And, you must tell me about Nykas. I had a dream, a very strange dream about pregnant women, who chanted. Something about 'saving the spirit of Nykas', if I remember correctly. They stood in a circle, and continued to chant. Have you ever heard of a ritual, where the women involved becomes or has to be pregnant? It surely couldn't be a coincidence that they were all pregnant."

[MasterD_Evil]

Kagegiro first grins and speaks to Elhac, "I am a true warrior, I will never flee from honourful combat, nor will I ever engage in dishonourful combat... Yet I am not a fool, a warrior never engages an army by himself, although I would sacrifice my life if it was honourful."
He then hears Devon and his expression grows serious, "Might I inquire whom the leader of your group is, assuming you have any? The woman named Ren O'the Star seemed to take the lead... I also heard to speak with a man named Ilvanas, an elf. I can tell more about what you just told me, but I would like to do so infront of your leader, assuming you already told him about these dreams?"

[Kothoses the Tyrant]

Kothoses half stumbles back to his cabin, as he sits there Thamior enters Kothoses' looks distraught, "Thamior you do not want to know about what he ment, he was right I am a coward" Kothoses stands up again, "I... I must check on Katrina, and there is something I wish to do" Kothoses makes his way back to the Cabin, knocking lightly on the door, he lets himself in.

"Hold good sir, I bring an olive branch, my cowardice is my shame that I let so many suffer is my regret, but.. maybe I can help you, You should know I tried, by the gods I tried to stop my uncle I helped several dozen escape from whitehall, here take this, ensure that the baby she carries wants for nothing, I cannot ever make up for the wrong my family have commited here, but please, allow me to try and do something good, it is a token gesture but one which I wish to make in my own name" Kothoses hands the man a pouch containing 500gp (1264- 500 = 764).

Kothoses tries and almost manages, to look the man in the eyes "Take this gold, and the knowledge I will do what it takes to ensure that the scum like Akatin pay for what they have done, the people of whitehall will not live under another Rothenkisal like my uncle, either my self or Sashley will take the throne, if that day comes, I will ensure that your ward and the child she carries do not want for anything, I wish... I wish there was more I could do, I wish I could turn back the clock and do what I should have, but I am no murderer, I am Rothenkisal in name only, not in my ways, but I do not expect you to believe, nor understand me or trust me, I am for what little it is worth, truley sorry for what you have suffered" Kothoses stands in silent sadness after he speaks, looking on the young girl with such compassion and sadness that even the stoneiest of hearts would be moved by the sadness in his odd coloured eyes.

[Palin the Wizard]

"Yes, he knows. I do not know where he is, but he is Ren's... beloved, I should say. The best chance is that you will find him with her," Devon replies.

[Aradia]

Krillian is well received by the captain, and finds her enthusiasm a good distraction from the ship's tossings too and fro over the course of the evening.  He sleeps better than he has slept since Fynna left, and notes that indeed her bed is bigger and more comfortable than his bunk he shares with Orn.

Katrina spends quite a while with the 15 year old noble lady, and then inquires about the other passenger who looked sickly....only to find that Krillian took care of the fellow before he departed to the captain's quarters.

Yindarwe tumbles into bed late that night, snuggling up against the warm Liandra, too tired to do anything interesting to wake her up.  He sleeps like the dead.

In the morning, the sun peeks out, and the storm slowly disappates.  Breakfast is served in the mess hall, a simple fare of bread and fruit.

Ren runs around introducing Kagegiro to those he has not met yet, explaining that he only speaks elvish "And I assume some sort of Rekiki language that none of us speak as well...."  Yalanwa is not shy in the least, although she does remain silent and occasionally has her hands on Kagegiro.  But she also eyes the other men curiously and rather boldly, and laughs a bit whenever her stares make a man turn away.  She stands proudly amidst the crew clad only in her tatoos--which are of a different sort than Kagegiro's.  Her tatoos are of various mystical symbols in cool colors--blacks, blues, darker purples to contrast with her skin, greens--and they cover her legs, chest, back and buttocks.  And also her abdomen.  She has no hair in the usual spot that a Rezen woman--human or elvish--does.  Just a rather interesting flower tatoo that is different from the other symbols that criss cross her body. She notices Orn's eyes drift to that area and then watches as he turns away.  Laughing, she says, "Zeg hem dat the bloem die hier", pointing to the flower, "staat een teken is dat ik een expert ben in seks magie!"  Then her hands wander over Kagegiro's back as she smiles again, whispering in his ear.  She leans back upright and eyes Ilvanas rather intently, licking her lips in a very suggestive manner before returning her hands to Kagegiro's back.

[MasterD_Evil]

Kagegiro grins at Yalanwa, then makes his way over to Orn, seeking out if he knows Elven, and smiling when he finds out Orn does speak it. "She," glancing back at the Rekiki mage with a grin, "wants me to tell you that the flower means she's an expert in sex magic... You seem to be quite interested, and although she doesn't understand you, I'm sure you could spend interesting time with her."

He then returns to Ren, grinning as most other men somehow seem afraid of Yalanwa, "Ze zijn hier ook niet veel gewoon." he says almost laughing.

As Ren guides him, he admires her dark hair and wonderful figure. His eyes wander off to her chest and lower, and doesn't avert his eyes if Ren spots it, yet when she speaks to him, he does listen attentively, greeting everybody else he's introduced too.

Whenever he's introduced to a woman however he will clearly check out her body, grinning, then bowing, "Very pleasant to meet you." he says in Elven to them. (OOC: This includes Liandra and Katrina, who also get the same amount of attention Kagegiro gives the other women)

[CJ]

Liandra stirs in her sleep and opens her eyes briefly as Yindarwe slips under the sheets, wrapping his arms around her.  She smiles softly and drifts back to sleep.

The next day is again about learning the basics of seamanship, and she finds herself very drawn to it, it's something that she begins to love, and she is quite pleased about it, happy that she can share her lover's passion.

[MasterD_Evil]

Just posting again to draw CJ's attention to the small addition I made to my post. (not sure if you noticed or not, so posting anyway

[CJ]

Remind me in 3 weeks game time...lol when Liandra gets back with the others

[Mad_Wanderer]

Although she was in no way Fynna's equal, Krillian thoughrouly enjoys the night, telling storys, drinking, sharing some koshweed and of course having sweet sex
Morning arrives fast and the captain moves the priest out of bed fast (with a kiss ?) ^_^.
Therefore it's a tired but smiling Krillian that greets his companions as they get up his sacred mug in one hand and a a piece of cheese in the other.
As for when Krillian is introduced to Kagegiro he smiles and offers him a drink before saying "Hope you enjoy the brew. Plenty were that came from" he mimes drinking it in one go.
He also stares a lot at Yalanwa and grins before saying he wouldn't mind studying her tatoes a little with a laugh.
