===========================================================<br/>On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Daemon's men on hot on the heels of Nani and it has only been three days since she broke out from Daemon's prison, luxurious as it was.  Most would have called it a harem but for Nani, it was a prison.  Officially, she is wanted for theft.  Daemon is a weathly merchant, becoming rich through well navigated deals with the dark elves for access to far off places and exotic things.  The sheer number of his hired guards practically makes it his own personal army.  Many of them well experienced at tracking down 'miscreants' who interfere with his buisness.<br/><br/>Still, Nani heard of Dullûmâ, the Nymph.  Humans are well known for crossing the bounds of decent behavor to the Fey and when a Fey gets in trouble in the city of Far, Dullûmâ can get them out.  She is right now in a hideaway run by Dullûmâ in the center of the city.  Hidden inside a brothel she finds herself in a comfortable room with a large soft couch with plentiful pillows thrown about the room.  A small stand in its center holds a set of lit candles whose light dances across the warm colors of the place.  Nani is safe for now though she can't stay forever.  Dullûmâ herself is in the next room over, behind a thick curtain and Nani can hear her talking with someone.<br/><br/>[Private to Gwenie: "Well, we have another one running from a wealthy human merchant.  This time from a man called Daemon.  I may have little choice but to ask her to leave Far entirely.  The outside can be dangerous.  I know you are good scout and all, if you must refuse I won't make you help her.  I shall pay you double the normal amount for this work though."  Dullûmâ speaks quietly with you.  When she asked for your services you thought it would be another scount into the Lonely Forest for Far.  She has never asked you for one of her more... private requests before.]<br/><br/>After a few moments of talking Dullûmâ appears through the curtain.  She looks a typical Nymph but wears conservative, human dress.  Very odd, especially considering what is going on upstairs and around you.  Behind her floats in a fairy, cute in all respects, even her weapons seem cute.  Dullûmâ smiles warmly and sits down next to Nani, "So, I hear you are in a bit of trouble?"<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Gwenie flutters about behind Dullûmâ, letting the elegant Nymph girl lead the way past the thick curtains and into the other room where she sees the Dryad girl reclining on the pillowed couch. She spots a fluffy pillow nearby, flutters over to it, and lays belly-down onto it, facing the speaking girls, with her arms folded up under her chin in order to support her head. She has a cheerful smile on her cute face, but remains initially quiet while Dullûmâ and the Dryad girl converse together on the couch in an effort to sort out the situation.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Nani<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Nani still breathing a little hard after she sits down, she looks around and then looks at Dullûmâ. Just a little bit of trouble. I just... can't stay there any longer. It's a prison with no walls. She looks at Gwenie and then back to Dullûmâ, I just hope what I have heard about you is true. That you can help me get out of here. She moves her hair back away from her face as her breathing starts to be normel once more. Her golden eyes looks around the room again then gase back apon Dullûmâ, waiting for an answer that she hopes will help her get away.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Dullûmâ smiles a soft, reassuring smile, "You have not been misled I can get you away if that is what you truly want.  Daemon is quite a powerful man and I fear no place in Far will make you safe.  Normally in this large city we can start a new life for someone, in this case I would say to leave Far for some time.  It is not as if you cannot return, one day you could once Daemon's... attention has been diverted elsewhere.  Men like him will forget, given enough time.  You do know that this does not happen freely, though I ask no payment now, there will be a time you will be called upon, can I trust you with such an agreement?"<br/><br/>Her face turns to a bit of worry as she glances back at Gwenie and then turns to Nani again, "I would also like to introduce you to Gwenie here.  She is an expert scout and versed in the countryside.  There is a Dryad clan who would most likely accept you.  They live deep in the Lonely Forest and I am sure Gwenie can get you to them.  There is something I must warn you of.  The forest has become dangerous.  Even since the last time you were there, Gwenie."  She again breifly looks at Gwenie to make sure she has her attention.  "My spies tell me orcs have been patrolling much more aggresively and in larger numbers.  They also speak of a strang creature that roams the forest at night, very powerful.  So you do have a second choice, instead of going right through the forest you _could_ attempt to travel a dark elf tunnel.  Either way, Gwenie will more then be of use to you.  Understand both ways have much peril.  I will leave the final choice to you."<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Gwenie watches and listens to Dullûmâ and Nani talk to each other and when Dullûmâ specifically addresses her, she turns her attention over towards the Nymph and nods back in acknowledgement and understanding of Dullûmâ’s words of concern. She comments, "Orcs’re big meanies." She then looks back over towards Nani as she continues to lie on the fluffy pillow, her legs now starting to playfully bounce up and down on it, and allowing the bigger girls to further continue their discussion. She smiles cheerfully as she continues to observe them.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Nani<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Nani thinks over the choice put before her. Forest.. Tunnel.. Orc's in forest and who knows what else.. Tunnel we have .. dark elfs.. Which would be safer if you can pay there toll.. I'm sure I don't have the money for the toll.. ok... looks like  Forest.. and most surelly killing of something.. being scared of something.. running like mad.. again.. What to do.. what to do. Her eyes looks to Gwenie then to Dullûmâ. "Well I..  humm.. At lest no matter which I pick Gwenie will be with me, so that's nice. I really not sure. I would say the tunnel but I don't have the money for that for I'm sure they will want a nice coin for that. I... would say throw the forest at lest there I would know what would be jumping out at me." She was scared and held her arms to keep from shacking, just the thought of orc's and who knows what might jump out at them scared her.She could face it and think fast enought to maybe live throw it. Nani look around more then back to Dullûmâ once again. "Forest, if I have to choice the lesser of two evils, then it's the forest."<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Gwenie rolls over onto her back, her head now lying partially off of the pillow, and looks up at Nani from an upside-down vantage point. She says cheerfully, "Yay! Forest trip! It’s dark and scary underground." She grins towards Nani and playfully starts bouncing her legs and arms, one leg and arm at opposite sides and alternating sides with each bounce, up and down on the pillow that she lies back upon. After a moment, she sits up and her wings flutter and lift her off of the pillow. She flutters over to the couch and then around Dullûmâ and Nani. She says, "Travel down South to the Lonely Forest and find the Dryad tribe. Okie dokie."<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Dullûmâ tries to be serious, travelling the Lonely Forest is no laughing matter but she cannot help but smile and giggle at Gwenie's enthusiasm and playful show.  "Verywell.  Nani, you may rest here and the night if you wish, if you have no where else to go.  You can sleep right here and wash up with the other women and men in the baths upstairs if you wish.  They are for the entertainers here only but I think I can have them make an exception for one night.  Its still early in the day though, if you are in a hurry we could have you leave now but I would say rest the day and have a good night sleep in a soft bed before wandering out to the forest.  Gwenie, if Nani doesn't mind, could you look after her today?"<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Gwenie flutters in the air around the two bigger girls and, when Dullûmâ asks if she wouldn’t mind 'looking after' Nani, she cheerfully replies back, "Okie dokie." She flutters around and behind Nani, moves close up against her back, slides her arms around the more than twice as tall girl’s neck, rests her chin atop Nani’s head, and hugs the Dryad from behind. Her wings continue to flutter, holding up her meager weight and keeping her in the air, and she giggles happily.<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the player at 14:31, Tue 19 Apr.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Nani<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Nani smiled knowing she would be safe for one night. Thank you, when ever you call for me to reply you for this I will do my best to do so, no matter the task. She felt the little faery girl hug her and it was nice. She looks around her home for the night, taking the rest of the room.<br/><br/>A bath does sound nice, after all that running and the timing in which I left, I kind of missed my bath today. Thank you so much for helping me Dullûmâ, and you too Gwenie. She smiles looking at Dullûmâ and then truning her head to look at Gwenie. I know this trip will not be an easy one, and I'm sure lot of gross things will be waiting on us, but I have faith that we will make it just fine. For I will need to reply you for your kindness you are showing me. She smiles.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>As you sit and talk the curtain to the room is pushed aside.  Standing there is one of the many human female Madam's of this place.  She has a most worried look on her face and she waves for Dullûmâ to come to her.  Dullûmâ smiles and excuses herself and as she turns to this newcomer you can see the look of annoyance on her face.<br/><br/>She and the woman speak quietly a moment and then Dullûmâ stands silently for a moment thinking.  She turns back to the both of you and says, "I apologize but there is a matter I must attend to upstairs.  I will not be long.  In case I do not see you again today do not worry, tomorrow I will seek you here and you can begin your trip."  She leans over and pats Nani on the leg and runs a hand gently through Gwenie's hair before turning back and heading out, the Madam a step ahead of her.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Gwenie<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>When Nani says her encouraging words to Gwenie, the little Faerie can’t help but to perk up, raise a victory fist proudly up into the air, and say with a positive, can-do attitude, "We can do it!"<br/><br/>Gwenie looks over curiously as the older lady enters the room and urges Dullûmâ over to her. Gwenie giggles cutely as Dullûmâ, after coming back over from her private conversation with the older lady, brushes her hand through her long, baby-soft, strawberry-blonde hair. As Dullûmâ excuses herself from the room, Gwenie waves 'bye-bye' to her and turns her attention back to Nani, bringing her raised arm back down and putting it around Nani’s neck to resume her from-behind hug again.<br/><br/>Gwenie asks the Dryad, "What did you want to do now?," and let's her little tongue hang out cutely.<br/><br/>This message was last edited by the player at 03:31, Thu 21 Apr.<br/><br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Nani<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>Nani looks around and smiles. Take a nice long bath I think. Other than that, I'm unsure of what to do. What would you like to do Gwenie? Knowing that was more or less not the thing to ask such a happy person as she was. Her guess would be danceing or singing for Gwenie seems like the type who likes to do that. Plus she was a faery after all.<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/>Re: On the Run by Bob the GM<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/>[ Move to Before the Dawn thread ]<br/><br/>===========================================================<br/><br/><br/><br/>
