Stoella snapped to attention as the captain walked onto the bridge.  "Capn," she said with a look of relief on her face. "I'm sorry if I worried you ma'am."<br/><br/>She set one hand back on the wheel of the ship, keeping the Virtuous Maiden on a straight and steady course as it hurtled through the morning sky.<br/><br/>"But the fact is that there is a situation on board.  Vera's been pounding on her door and clawing to get out of her locked cabin for a few hours now.  But that's not the problem, Marek couldn't take it anymore.  About three hours ago he came and found me and said he couldn't take it anymore.  He didn't want to disturb you because he knew you were entertaining the Matron as a guest.  But he said he was feeling a terrible compulsion.  That he wanted nothing more than to go down to Vera's cabin and ravage her over and over and over."<br/><br/>Stoella's face was a little pale, she was worried about how Doxi was going to take the news obviously.  She continued, "I called Janmorel up to see if there was a magical effect in play, and the poor futa was shaking in her boots.  She said that she was feeling it too, not as strong as Marek, but she was showing it more.  You know how calm and cool that half orc is.  Anyways, I think Vera's curse is growing stronger... much stronger.  So I told Marek to shift into a bird and fly on ahead to Blackpeak.  Told him to get your mother and have her meet us at the docks.  Then I went and locked Janmorel into her room and told her to try to get some sleep."<br/><br/>Stoella grimaced and looked away from Doxi, "I'll admit it capn' I think I'm even feeling it.  Theristina might be too as far as I know, she's down on the main deck."  Stoella nodded out the glass windows towards the main deck where the elven marine was dancing wearing little clothing.  A double bladed sword in her hands as she danced through several combat stances.  It was typical of her workout regime, but there seemed to be a certain ferocity to her leaping and swinging.<br/><br/>Stoella finished the report, "I hope the priestesses can help, because if her curse gets much stronger, I don't know what's going to happen when it starts to affect the town of Blackpeak."
