The shopkeeper frowned a bit and nodded.<span style="color: DarkSlateGray">"Alrighty, solid oak bars, that's about... two or so feet wide, four and a half feet tall bars sound high enough?" </span>He quickly scribbled down a rough sketch and showed it to Ophidian for his approval.<span style="color: DarkSlateGray"> "Something like that look good? That table over there is made of solid, unstained oak so you can get an idea of the color it'll be."</span>He pointed with a large dinning table off to the side.<span style="color: DarkSlateGray"> "Visitors to the city shouldn't have to worry about the tax increase, it's only the poor that are really suffering."</span>With a shrugged he took a seat and leaned back in his chair.<span style="color: DarkSlateGray">"When the wife and I had our first child we were still young and frisky, so we had a mage enchant our baby's crib to mute the sound going into it just enough so that the baby would know it's not alone, but increase the sound coming out so if it needed us we'd always be able to hear no matter what we may have been doing at the time. She's heavy with baby five now and the enchantment hasn't failed once."</span><br/><br/>Nyaka shook her head and pulled Sellendra close.<span style="color: DarkOrange"> "You're a damn liar, but I don't care anymore. You and Jenjayah are safe and that's all that matters to me."</span><br/><br/>Karrie pushed Rachel away as she was grabbed and folded her arms.<span style="color: Red">"You more than the person who knocked me out to save these people. I lost control of my emotions and started killing people here, the Naga other there threw me against a wall to knock me out. She's been working with the surviving priestesses to heal all the victim, I don't know if you can still feel fear but if you touch that woman what I do to you will haunt what's left of your tainted soul for eternity."</span>Ras let out a quiet sigh and shook his head. "Rachel, I'm not upset. All you did was defend Ibara when I couldn't, and for that I thank you. Nobody could have predicted what would have happened next, and as such nobody is be blamed for it. However, I will be taking back the power you stole from my priestesses and I'll be freeing Heth'is. Once I have back what is mine you will never see or hear from me again." Rachel's blade floated out of its hilt and floated in the air between the two Trolls  as Ras drained all the Trollish power she had taken, and Heth'is, but made sure to leave all of her other power untouched. Once he was done the blade returned to its sheath. "As a thank you for trying to defend Ibara despite what it cost you, I wish to make you two offers you don't need to take if you don't want. One is I can wipe Karrie's memory of all this, the other is I can return your mortality. I know you fought with my mother when she tried to force it on you, so now I'm offering it to you. I'm sure Karrie would appreciate going to bed with a warm body. Think about those as long as you need, I have more people to heal." He nodded to her then returned to tending to the wounded.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
