Thalya Balworth (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=90729)<br/><div class="floatright">(http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w172/minarou/d51733c7-212f-4bfc-ad58-a6d67e51b00c.jpg)</div><br/>Thalya took point letting her nephew watch their backs. The sorceress now focused on finding Alyssa and Al' Rhayel, suspecting they could be in danger as well from the maligned designs of this ship like that of her and Norton if such was the case, almost forgetting the amorous affair they had. Yes she lost the mood and felt disappointed that their first experience with each other ended rather awkward. But she cannot deny that she was in the wrong. First, they were blood relatives, a taboo that she has overstepped today; she let the 'influence' get the best of her, letting her base urges override her reasoning.  Second, to achieve her end she had to cast a spell on her own very nephew! And bind him against his will, so as to have forced sex with him.  She would have wanted to apologize to Norton for her misdeeds her but now is not the time.<br/><br/>They finally reached the hatch leading to the ship's hold and Thalya thought she heard the captain's voice.  "Alyssa, is that you?" she called, going against her better judgment of alerting any nearby assailants. "I'm coming down!" Before mounting on the ladder she turns to Norton. "Stay here, nephew.  I'll tell you if it is safe to come down.  But if you hear trouble that seems too hard to handle it is best you head back for the Esmeralda and bring back some help."  Of course she did not expect him to comply knowing him, and most especially because of what happened between them.  Trust issues are probably at the lowest now between the two but she hopes the paladin has enough sense to realize the risks involved in their situation so as he would make not the right choice but the logical one.  Thalya eventually climbed down the into the hold and was alarmed to see the two women on the floor in a state of dishevelment, more so for the druidess who was completely naked and appeared unconscious, mildly taking note of the tree and the withering vines around them.<br/><br/>“By Lux, what happened to you both? Is Al’ Rhayel all right?”<br/>
