"I shall be returning most eagerly then; for any number of reasons, of course." Kass replied coyly "Who knows<em>what</em>reasons they may be?"<br/><br/>Kass walked in as Aria crawled, feeling that such was the proper course of things if she were to be a proper mistress to this woman, and that<em>was</em>her intent after all.  It may have been but words, but her intention was to be a mistress to this woman who so intrigued her young mind.  Speaking of that, she knew Aria was older, but as one of the planetouched, she was not sure just<em>how much</em>older she was... would be something worth asking about in the future, she figured.  Rana aided in the cat-baths, a shame as necessary as they were, for she loved the feeling of olive oil upon her skin, not to mention the scents of sex as well, and afterwords they dressed, Kass as the dancer she had and always would be, and Aria as her semi-knightly self, and with their new-found relations to each other, Kass the mistress and Aria the lowly 'servant,' the reverse dynamic in terms of dress was quite humorous.<br/><br/>Equipped fully, she contemplated Aria's query and what a query it was...<br/><br/>"Scroll, either way; we can both use the staff after all, and in a hurry if need be.  As such, the scrolls to keep the staff a while longer, just in case we need to make more quick-exits or entrances." Kass replied, obviously thinking things over "As for where to... yes, I would say let us continue to Tsurlagol, but let us be quick in our workings about it, in case we need to head on to Luthcheq to aid them in a<em>big</em>hurry, and perhaps that can be your duty Rana, to check on the state of Luthcheq's temple where Ares' shield is located, to let us know if the battle to defent the facility goes badly, or if it is not defended at all?  Regardless, Aria, we are to be dealing with an<em>extremely</em>powerful magic user, be it arcane or divine... we will need to eliminate him or her<em>very</em>quickly, permanently if necessary unless we have manacles capable of countering magical abilities.  Still, death of a few, or death of many..."<br/><br/>Kass shrugged, mentally preparing herself for what was to come.<br/><br/>"We'll leave whenever you're ready Aria..." Kass replied with a grin, though in her head she was hoping she was making the right decision about where to head to first...<br/><br/>Just to clarify, I get the Bardic Music numbers, all spells save for the one 2nd level slot I spent, and the Stunning from the weapon and and other items (Rapid Casting etc) back, right?  Or do the Rapid Casting circlets and Stunning abilities only return after a full day?
