The woman patted her own face while she realized she could see again, and squinted in the sun like someone who'd just woken up or emerged from underground. Her blank face gave the responded to one of Kass's queries, at least - she didn't seem to be able to understand her.<br/><br/>Aria, swiveling her head around to look for other enemies in the jungle beyond the remains of the primitive village, queried the woman, once again speaking a local language which she didn't really even know, always finding ti funny - almost tickling her tongue - to feel unfamiliar words roll off her tongue as she formed the thoughts in her own preferred language mentally - "Yes, you are quite safe with us. We are from across the sea and traveled her precisely to deal with such threats to fellow humans here" - no point mentioning devil or fey heritage at this juncture, she figured, "are there other threats nearby? Did something else slay your tribesmen?" she indicated the bodies, remembering what Kass'd just said.<br/><br/>The woman began to speak rapidly - partially because of her emotional state, and partially, Aria sensed, the natural fluidity of the language. Aria translated to Kass as she went, "For years two dragons - this one, which lives in a cliffside of crystal to the west, and a dragon of black scales which lives under a lake to the southwest - have demanded periodic offerings of youths and maidens, and fought one another, and driven humans to fight by proxy, over which territories each dragon might claim tribute from. But just today the village was overrun by...jaguars? Jaguar-men; those who were both man and cat - they slaughtered or carried off all. She hid; the rainbow dragon flew over, saw what'd transpired, and I suppose decided to take her as one last prize and it had no qualms feasting upon the freshly slain. She doesn't think it commanded the jaguar-men; it was enraged when first it saw the massacre."<br/><br/><br/><br/>No, she can't understand her, Aria was using Tongues.<br/><br/>(Assuming Kass used a wand charge of Remove Blindness/Deafness and Lesser Vigor.)<br/><br/>Oh btw, for the many wands they've 'split', since someone has to be physically carrying it (matters in time sensitive situations like combat) my suggestions are:<br/><br/>8x wand of lesser vigor 50c - split four each<br/><br/>(the impresario:)<br/>wand of no light, 6c - K, since A put it on her gloves<br/>wand of grease, 2c - K<br/>wand of knock, 26c - K, since A has open locks ranks<br/>wand of black tentacles - K<br/><br/>(sharrans:)<br/>wand of remove fear - K, since she has higher Will (and you can't use a wand while frightened/panicked/cowering)<br/>wand of remove paralysis - A, since she has higher Fort (and you can't  use a wand while paralyzed)<br/>wand remove blindness/deafness - K, since A a blindness-immunity item (and you can use a wand while blind or deaf)<br/>wand of remove curse, 42c - A, since K has higher Will (and you can use a wand while under most curses)<br/>wand of remove disease, 8c - K, since A has higher Fort (and you can use a wand while diseased)<br/>wand of neutralize poison, 2c - A, since she has the higher Fort and the other wand below has more charges<br/>wand of water breathing, 2c - K, since A has necklace of adaptation<br/>wand of restoration, 28c - K, since A has higher Fort<br/><br/>(justicators:)<br/>wand of cure light wounds, 5c<br/>wand of knock 13c - A, since K has above Knock wand with more charges<br/>wand of neutralize poison 21c - K, since A has higher Fort (and you can use a wand while under most poisons)<br/>wand of gr. invis 20c - A, since it can facilitate sneak attack, and K knows the spell<br/>wand of restoration, 16c  - A, since K has other wand with more charges<br/><br/>staff of hea(2c) / bestow curse(1c) 15 c - K<br/>(giantess:)<br/>staff of life 25c - A<br/>...both staves have Heal, so they should probably each carry one. Suggested K for the first one b/c A has the remove curse wand, and b/c the staff of life has a higher CL (13th) than the other (11th*), which matters for Aria but not for Kass (who can use her own CL with staves)<br/>staff of illusion - K, since she can use her higher caster level DCs; also A has the wand of gr. invis (similar to staff's Mislead), and A has ring of disguise (staff has Disguise Self, though Kass's Alter Self is generally better)<br/>staff of passage - K, since A has the staff of gr. teleport / gr. planeshift, and K has the high caster level<br/><br/>* As with wands and other items, items have minimum CL (= 2x spell level - 1, for anything on cleric, druid, or sor/wiz lists) unless otherwise noted (staves have the same CL for each of their spells), and this is how this one was priced.
