				&nbsp; For something capable of sinking such a mighty ship, of breaking it apart almost plank by plank, the sea currently seems pretty calm, gentle waves carrying the still body towards a natural cove in the rocky beach. She is set down on the hard terrain amid a display of scattered, broken pieces of wood, not quite yet waterlogged, including what had served as her raft until it broke apart half a league offshore.<br>&nbsp; In her semi conscious state the woman seems not to notice that she has finally reached safety. Indeed the soft moan she utters seems to be one of sadness as the gentle water that supported her until now is replaced by jagged rocks and grainy sand.<br>&nbsp; About 100ft away and walking towards the cove where they know the float some will naturally gather two other women approach. Both have clearly been on the island for a while, having adapted to the wild setting, assuming they were not born that way. As they catch sight of the bright whips of the survivor’s dress clearly visible against the dull ground and brown wood they both become excited and hurry over to investigate.

				The good thing about being a Healer is that even when all hell has broken loose, you're often still on your feet and able to act.<br><br>The problem with being a Healer is that even when all hell has broken loose, you are often still on your feet and able to act - and a lot of things have to be done quickly and correctly if anybody involved in the mess is going to stay alive.<br><br>The storm was strange from the start.&nbsp; It brewed up very quickly, almost literally out of the clear blue sky.&nbsp; And when it caught the ship, all magic just, well, stopped.&nbsp; There were stories of such storms.&nbsp; Second hand for the most part because damn few who were caught in one survived.&nbsp; The ship had many magical enhancements, that was why it had been selected for the expedition.&nbsp; The self-pulling pulleys, the wind-on-command windlass, well, they not only lost their magical assist, they froze up and wouldn't work at all, even manually.&nbsp; The charms that protected the crew against sea-sickness lost their zip.&nbsp; And those were needed, even without the anti-magic hex, this storm was a very bad one.<br><br>Aeryn Sunlight was still on her feet, helping the crew to save the ship.&nbsp; She had lost her healing gift, well, not exactly.&nbsp; Her gift was still there, she just couldn't seem to grab hold of it.&nbsp; Not for the complicated stuff, anyway.&nbsp; Her innate healing touch was still there, but it was much more draining to use than normal.&nbsp; She used it anyway to treat the Sailor's seasickness and even veterans were being affected to some degree by this storm.<br><br>It was costing her.&nbsp; Two days into the rough weather, and she was stumbling with weariness.&nbsp; She hadj ust collapsed into a hammock for some sleep, when she was called back above decks, a man had fallen from the rigging.&nbsp; She grabbed her carryall and raced up the ladder she was so intent on the task of saving him that it took her amoment to notice what was going on.&nbsp; The screaming man plucked from the ratlines by....something clued her in quickly.<br><br>Impact, the entire ship shuddered, the bow rising slightly.&nbsp; But they had not run into something, the ship had slowed, yes, but it was dipping at the stern, not being pushed up by the bow.&nbsp; Another lurch, they listed to starboard noticeably./ Aeryn held the injured man down with one hand while she half rose to peer over the rail.<br><br>There was something in the water.&nbsp; Something rising to the surface fast, breaking the surface...and the Magic came back!<br><br>In all her life, Aeryn Sunlight had never struck the first blow, save for battling the undead, and they didn't count.&nbsp; Technically she didn't do so now.&nbsp; A tentacle broke the surface, reached for her, Searing Light broke from her outstretched palm, the flash lit the boat like lightning.&nbsp; Her target shriveled, fell back, more came for her.&nbsp; She dragged the sailor back, and cast again screaming "We're under attack!" <br><br>An unknown time later, she began to stir on a sunlit beach.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/t76kZ.jpg)&nbsp; </div>They'd struck a tenuous agreement.&nbsp; All should be well between these two... the barbarian, Xenathiel, is clearly no foe to nature.&nbsp; She's a lover of a good fire circle, a good tale, a warm bed, a soft-skinned companion... she hated the raiders, she hated the Drow.&nbsp; They should have been at peace.&nbsp; Yet, somehow, the two of them had never quite struck things off as they should.&nbsp; Perhaps because Xen's axe had felled too many wild beasts.&nbsp; &nbsp;Perhaps because her fires consumed too many trunks of trees.&nbsp; Or, most likely, because Xen was a barbarian who lived alongside and upon nature, while the druid was of nature itself.&nbsp; But they would collaborate in this salvage... when they met on the beach at daybreak, they'd been little more than friends.&nbsp; But now, they were partners... protecting each others' interests, sharing a wealth of salvage.<br><br>The river of stand that borders the water is dotted here and there with the debris of the wreck.&nbsp; The incessant tidal lapping brings pieces of broken wood, fragments of casks, tangled rope waterlogged and floating like the arms of expired leviathans... the damage is profound, but the occasional fragment of the lost ship emerges in the white sand.&nbsp; An unbroken bottle here, a barrel there... but at the sight of a wet-clothed body, its hair matted and wet, its form limp and ragged, Xen's excitement mingles with concern.&nbsp; On one hand, she had no desire to build a pyre here, as her people would have... nor did she desire to leave a once-living soul as crab fodder.&nbsp; But still, what insight would that person give into what had transpired..?&nbsp; And what if they lived?&nbsp; What news would they bring, what tales to tell of the worlds beyond..?<br><br>So when that limp rag of a body began to move, Xen jumped in surprise.&nbsp; To the woman they'd found, the copper-skinned elf, with her tattoos and lean muscles, must have seemed strikingly barbaric-- perhaps even monstrous in her battered state of semi-consciousness.&nbsp; But her long ears prick up at the sound of the woman's breath, and after only a moment's shared glance with the druid, she eases back a bit.&nbsp; "Help her if you can... I will aid you."

				Bright light, gritty sand, wash of breakers across her lower body.&nbsp; <em>"I'm alive.</em>&nbsp; Is her first bleary thought.&nbsp; <em>Her next is I can feel it, I can feel my gift.</em> .&nbsp; But then she fades out.<br><br>Footsteps in the sand awaken her again, a shadow across her face leads her to open her eyes.&nbsp; She cracks them a bare slit open, they fly wide as she lifts her head and tries to rise.&nbsp; She sags back to the sand with what she thinks is a scream but is more likely a gurgle.&nbsp; "What are you?&nbsp; Sorry.&nbsp; Who are you?"&nbsp; She is thoroughly waterlogged, but that is not all.&nbsp; she has a number of abrasions, bruises.&nbsp; Odd bruises, circular, about an inch across, with what look like tiny punctures in the center, lots of them in a diagonal line seen trough the torn cotton shirt partially covering her back. She twists onto her side with effort, the line of bruises continues across her abdomen just below her breasts.&nbsp; Her pants, calf-high boots are in decent shape, but her tunic is much worse for wear. " Did you find any others?"&nbsp; She pants. "There were over a hundred, anybody?"&nbsp; Dark brown hair, hazel eyes very fair skin, moderately endowed bosom.&nbsp; She does not look to be the outdoors type.&nbsp; An abrupt spasm doubles her over as she starts to cough up a goodly amount of seawater.

				The lean elf arches back at the sudden noise from the half-drowned woman, her eyes wide and her teeth bared in surprise.&nbsp; "Gods' blood," Xen spits, then&nbsp; lunges closer.&nbsp; "Hey... easy, now."&nbsp; Her coppery-skinned hands, a faint grit of loose sand on them, rest upon the woman's shoulders, firmly but gently restraining her-- it is not difficult to feel the strength in those hands, though perhaps a symptom of her own exhaustion.&nbsp; Her narrow, angular brows furrow at the sight of the strange bruises on the woman's body, and her mind races to combine these details with what she hears.&nbsp; "A hundred..." she swallows.&nbsp; That's as many as her entire tribe... all lost?<br><br>She struggles to find a phrase in her mind to explain that how unlikely that would be, but without terrifying the young woman more than she already is.&nbsp; A knot in Xen's stomach tightens at the notion, and her already racing pulse thuds in her ears... fear for themselves, for a wreck this size will draw the <i>wrong</i> kind of attention.&nbsp; In fact... this could be a ruse.&nbsp; Or she could be with an invading army... or she might be, quite simply, lying.&nbsp; Or otherwise corrupted... she's beautiful, even half-drowned that much is clear.&nbsp; What better way to--<br><br>The woman's sudden coughing fit and her expulsion of seawater snaps her back to the dire nature of the woman's condition.&nbsp; Xen is no stranger to this kind of pain, and while she's borne witness to it her whole life-- much by her own hands-- she is not immune to empathy.&nbsp; "If we see anyone, we will aid them."&nbsp; Her accent, like the rest of her, would seem utterly alien to the castaway.&nbsp; Her markings and chain-riddled leathers seem to mark the elf as a warrior of some kind, but she barely looks beyond her teenage years.&nbsp; Her long hair hangs about her face in dozens of small reddish-brown braids, and every inch of her skin is a rich, coppery brown.&nbsp; <br><br>"Forgive me," she says in a soft hiss of breath, "but we must move from this place."&nbsp; <strong>Unless she resists</strong>, then, the castaway will feel a sudden sense of weightlessness as she's hoisted up, the patter of wet sand falling from her body barely audible over the lulling surf.&nbsp; She finds her face resting against the small of the elf's bare back, her skin smelling of moss, fresh-split wood, and aloe plant.&nbsp; There's a soft, metallic hiss as she lifts her weapon from the ground, from the awkward angle she can see that the elf hoists an axe with two blades the size of spade-heads in her other hand.&nbsp; She will carry her to the shade, dragging any gear or salvageable goods by a rope behind her until they whisper through the palmetto and into the shade of the palms, banyans, and vine-drenched canopy beyond.

				Aeryn stays conscious, but her thoughts are unfocused, her perception of what is happening around her atchy at best.&nbsp; The barbaria picks her up like she herself would lift a child, she couldn't have stopped the, the elf even if she had been in top shape.&nbsp; She lifts a feeble hand to point at the net-wrapped bundle of boxes and cases she and a handful of had frantically thrown together as the ship broke up, and where were the three people who had gone into the water with her?&nbsp; The woman has spotted the bundle already and dragged it to a sheltered spot.&nbsp; But Aeryn was feeling better, she knows that because she is starting to hurt like hell.&nbsp; It takes bare heartbeats to realize that in her present condition, whatever was going to happen to her whether&nbsp; help or harm would happen with no say from her in the matter at all.&nbsp; She debates trying to hide the small caduceus mark&nbsp; of a non-clerical healer tattooed on her sternum between and just above her breasts, but rejects it.&nbsp; It would be revealed soon enough.&nbsp; If the local priests have an issue with such as her - and they often do- she will ride it out.&nbsp; Somehow.&nbsp; She is fading again, but doesn't quite out.&nbsp; She stops fighting it and rests quietly.

				Xen eases the young woman onto a soft bed of ferns out of the sun's constant glare.&nbsp; The sound of the surf can still be made out over the cries of shore birds and the rustle of tree boughs.&nbsp; The elven woman wishes she had the knowledge of her peoples' healers... still, she knows how to survive... something this half-drowned woman seems also to possess.&nbsp; She sinks the tip of her axe blade into a trunk hear her head and eases the girl to a comfortable position, prone with her head tilted slightly aside in case of more gushing water.&nbsp; She brushes the damp tendrils of hair from the girl's fair face, studying her for a moment.&nbsp; Her sharp features and fierce glare give way to curiosity... The girl's clothes may be undamaged, certainly, but the barbarian can scarcely imagine being able to breath in such confining garb... the poor girl could barely wriggle her toes in those boots, and she needs to be less confined.<br><br>Easing the leather sheaths from the girl's feet, she notes the marking between her breasts... Some kind of flying serpent or some such, it would seem.&nbsp; &nbsp;Probably a mark of her tribe, Xen supposed, though it gives her little pause other than curiosity.&nbsp; The frail human seems so unfit for this place, Xen thinks as she loosens the girl's breeches at her waist.&nbsp; Oh, yes, the temptation to appreciate that difference is there.&nbsp; Once the young woman's waist is less constricted, she draws back her hands and sits on her haunches, watching the leaf-screened sun dapple the young woman's form.&nbsp; From her pack, she pulls a leather water-skin... the salt water may cause more sickness yet, but best give her a chance... she moves to her knees in the sandy soil and sprinkles a few drops over her lips.<br><br>"My name is Xenathiel," she says softly.&nbsp; Out of caution, she glances over her shoulder and scans the hinterland scrub-trees for any sign of life.&nbsp; There is temptation to remove the girl's shredded tunic... it is doing her little good as it stands... however, she thinks twice on that.&nbsp; Like the villagers, this woman seemed... well, village-ish.&nbsp; They were sensitive there about such things.&nbsp; So, instead, she pours a small splash of the cool water onto her long, slender fingers and brushes them tenderly over the bruises that riddle the woman's torso.&nbsp; <i>What the hell causes wounds like this..?</i>

				"Aeryn Sunlight."&nbsp; A whisper, but stronger than before.&nbsp; The drops of water had been like ambrosia, she has to fight to keep from grabbing at the waterskin too much and she wil be sick again.&nbsp; She is afraid, deeply afraid, but the elf's touch is so gentle, the fresh water rubbed across hr injuries soothing, soothing.&nbsp; She hadn't resisted when her flat-soled boots ere removed, her pants loosened.&nbsp; But she was regaining strength rapidly.&nbsp; Very rapidly, in fact she could raise her head without difficulty know, her eyes were brighter, much more alert.<br><br>The removal of her boots has also removed her only weapon, a slimly lethal dagger that is very well crafted indeed.&nbsp; The loosening of her belt had caused a small hardwood case to drop free it carried the same mark as was tattooed on her chest.&nbsp; it was securely fastened, but not locked.&nbsp; Curiosity would find it easily openeable with a little thought and containing three short blades, very sharp with long handles, needles, a bit of cat-gut twine, small vials containing various liquids, simple bandages.&nbsp; A very basic field-surgery kit, not a full healer's kit by any means but the sort of thing useful in emergencies or for tending small hurts.&nbsp; The contents are undamaged, the case is well lacquered and watertight.&nbsp; Several of the larger boxes and leather bags in the bundle bear the same mark.<br><br>And another thing strikes the elf:&nbsp; Sunburn, the utter lack of it.&nbsp; The sun has been up for hours, that ivory complexion, the un-weathered sin should be pink at the very least.&nbsp; And abrasions, small cuts, incidental bruises from the shipwreck itself, being battered by the waves?&nbsp; Nothing.&nbsp; Her only marks are those angry weird puncture--centered bruises.&nbsp; And even those might be starting to fade.<br><br>"Thank you for getting me off the beach."&nbsp; She does a very good job of hiding it, but the castaway's eyes betray her wariness.&nbsp; "The bounty of this wreck will be quite impressive.&nbsp; I'm sure other beachcombers will be out and they might find a living castaway rather inconvenient."&nbsp; <em>Or very convenient in ways I don't want to think about,</em> she carefully does not say aloud.

				Xen breathes sharply through her nose as she catches on... or, at least, forms a sort of "theory."&nbsp; Needles, vials..?&nbsp; Most certainly an assassin of some sort.&nbsp; Any furthermore, a magic-one, or some species she's never encountered before that heals itself....&nbsp; &nbsp;of course, that would explain why she was so lovely.&nbsp; And might explain this strangely protective feeling that the island dweler has for the half-drowned stranger.<br><br>She snatches up her axe, which releases from the tree cleanly and undulled.&nbsp; She stares down at the young woman, her amber eyes flickering with rage, the shade increasing the contrast between sun-bronzed skin and her ivory, bared teeth.&nbsp; She hisses angrily, but softly.&nbsp; "Are you trying to dupe me..?&nbsp; What, make me drop my guard?&nbsp; Make me a puppet with your words... and your... your... pretty eyes and all, so you can poison me with these?&nbsp; Who are your people, Aeryn-- what are you doing on this island?!"&nbsp; her mouth works silently as she seeks to form words she lacks the understanding for.&nbsp; Her breasts heave with furious breaths, and her arms go taut, ready to strike, the muscles like ropes taut and ready to snap to action. <br><br>The barbaric elf lowers her axe smoothly, the hook-like tip of the blade suddenly hovering between Aeryn's breasts where the mark of her caste gleams on the skin.&nbsp; "This mark.&nbsp; What is it?"

				The druidess was busy looking for danger her ability to move quickly and her proud wolf companion Gryviix's keen nose aiding her in that, forunately the drow patrol knew better than to come to near her after she skinned one and sent the hide back with a warning. The drow did fire a hand crossbow bolt first she had cause.<br><br>"She must be from the shipwreck, there were a few other survivors taken by the drow an arrow from me kept them from venturing into my direction, they know I will show no mercy. And would you chase a druidess into the woods and briars if you were given the choice not to. I have a stash nearby we can move her there I have food rations, wine and dry leathers they should fit her there.," speaking to the barbarian in elvish before turning to the human woman. <br><br>Sitting down she checks the woman out and having some minor skills in the healing arts then speaks to her in common ,"I'm a druidess you know what that is? They call me Morgan Jourundel or Morgan for short. Now my friend Xen seems concerned about your tools and vials they look like tools used by human apothacary surgeons in the town and midwives, am I correct are you a healer of some sort?," &nbsp;she doesn't stop her friend if she is a threat better safe than sorry.

				&nbsp; Before the stranded human can answer Gryviix growls, indicating he has sensed something strange in the surroundings. Morgan flashes her eyes around and a second later sees it: a red skinned humanoid dressed in a jangling overcoat of some cheap plant material, patches in it revealing the glint of small metal chain links below. In each hand the humanoid holds a rust speckled kukri of mundane quality, although your eyes are drawn to a silver bracelet studded with smooth round turquoise gem stones on the left arm. He grins, his narrow sharp fangs matching the fleshy spikes lining the edge of his face. His black, pupils-less eyes focus on the still form of Aeryn. “Give her to us, she is ours,” he demands in a gruff voice, his long neck leaning forwards. “Our master foresaw her coming. She Who Burn the Beast from Beneath,”

				Xen flicks her eyes back and forth between the druid and the castaway-- er, assassin-- er, captor...

				&nbsp; “I will not stand here and barter with two fair folk whores over my master’s property!” the red skinned humanoid spits between gritted fangs, tapping a kukri against his silver bracelet before raising the weapon into the air.<br>&nbsp; The druid and barbarian cast their eyes around and prick their ears but there are no allies to respond to the signal, if it even is one. Suddenly the creature brings the blade down, pressing the slightly blunted end into his lower abdomen just below the armour. He manages to resist screaming until he pulls the weapon out, ripping the flesh open further and causing his eyes to shed tears of pain.<br>&nbsp; “And now you die!” he roars, using anger to mask the agony. Forced stoop over from his self inflicted wound he raises the now red blade, as if to throw it, despite its design clearly marking it as a melee weapon.

				&nbsp; At Morgan’s command the forest bursts into life, enveloping the red skinned humanoid with their thickened branches that are now lush with dense clusters of leaves. The ground at his feet breaks as the roots writhe, breaking to the surface. The effect extends to the side, ensuring any potentially allies will be greatly slowed in their arrival.<br>&nbsp; Realizing the danger she is in finally pushes Aeryn to full alertness, although her magic has yet to be replenished, a fact reflected in her choice of magic: a simple spell to aid her allies in battle, a far cry from commanding the forest.<br>&nbsp; Stomaching the pain long enough to act your opponent hurls his blood drenched kukri at Xen. The weapon predictably misses, bouncing off a nearby tree trunk but as it falls to the ground the blade suddenly bends 90 degrees, first one way , then the other. Suddenly the weapon seems to explode and from within a huge metallic serpents expands, easily 12 feet in length. The hiss from its fanged maw is answered by another, for this serpent has a second head where its tail should be. All four eyes turn to face Xen, its nearest prey and it writhes its body to bring both heads into an attack position. The hue of its scales gradually becomes a deep green.<br>&nbsp; Switching targets Xen ignore the red humanoid who has stumbled back to rest against a tree and instead swings her axe at the serpent, but she strikes too soon: the snake creature is still partially metal and the blow merely bounces to the side, throwing the barbarian off balance. As a result of this her second attack lacks the strength to pierce the creature’s now organic hide.<br><br>&nbsp; OOC:<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; The snake will act on an initiative of 8 as well, but wasted this round materializing.</div></div><br>&nbsp; Xen:<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; The extra damage applies to all attacks made on a charge.</div></div>

				&nbsp; Morgan prepares herself and Gryviix for battle, strengthening the wolf’s hide to protect it before ordering him to kill the snake. The two headed beast however demonstrates the stretchable quality of both necks as two sets of fangs lash out.

His master stays back for the time being, readying her weapons and trying to decide which target to attack.<br>&nbsp; Aeryn moves into range to augment the barbarian’s fighting ability but in doing so opens herself up for a quick bite on the shoulder.

Not bothering to try she simply grabs the head in one hand and brings her axe down with the other, shredding skin and flesh from the creature’s neck.

				&nbsp; As Morgan moves into position the snake lashes out, rearing up only to fall down onto her with an open mouth, the twin front fangs lacerating her cheek.

				&nbsp; Despite now flanking the snake Morgan is unable to damage it with her daggers as she focuses all her attention on overcoming the creature’s poison. Distracted by his master’s troubles Gryviix hesitates, allowing the snake to wiggle free of his jaws before he can crush it.<br>&nbsp; Aeryn stands her ground. Dagger drawn she prepares to launch a desperate attack against the red skinned humanoid if it turns out to be necessary.<br>&nbsp; No longer seeing Morgan as a threat the snake once again focuses both heads on Xen, ripping the wounds on her arm open further and pumping more poison into her veins. In response the barbarian simply brings her axe down with all the force she can muster, cleaving the snake clean in two. Each half writhes for a second before jerking to a halt, the scales once again becoming gray.

Can you purge it from your systems without dying, or becoming crippled? And what about her?” he indicates Aeryn, “She will surely die in the next minute from the poison, she’s already half dead.

				&nbsp; With the snake threat neutralized Gryviix obeys his master and attacks the red skinned humanoid, but the enemy is still within the area of the forest overgrown by Morgan’s magic and the wolf is unable to reach his target. Cursing the druid readies herself to enter melee herself, hoping to catch him in a flank with her wolf.<br>&nbsp; Aeryn focuses on the poison, trying to figure out it properties, and most importantly whether or not it has run its course yet.<br>&nbsp; „Seems a tad reckless,” the red skinned humanoid comments, calmly eyeing the wolf struggling desperately to reach him with his jaws. „Barbarian, dare I ask if you see sense where your friend falls to rage?”<br>&nbsp; Xen ignores his words and simply charges, running into the same problem as the wolf. However, she possesses the advantage of standing vertically and lunges forwards, catching the red skinned humanoid in the centre of the chest with her axe, but rendering herself overbalanced for his own attack.<br>&nbsp; „Suit yourself bitch, I’ll just come back once the poison has had its full effect,” he hisses through clenched teeth, shocked at the strength of the attack. Suddenly he disappears in a burst of sand, out of which a cloud forms. However, it does not settle, instead beginning to move away through the dense foliage at a speed none of you can hope to match.

				Xen stiffens a bit at the surprising methods the healer employs.... the embrace giving her a moment's pause before she turns her face away.&nbsp; Then, without complaint, she yields to the embrace and encircles an arm around the young woman in return&nbsp; The leather padding and steel studs of her gauntlets and armor prevent her from fully feeling much of that warmth, which is a frustration.&nbsp; She shivers slightly as the young woman pulls away, some of the challenging fierceness in her alien eyes having given way to a curious intensity.&nbsp; When the human draws away, she perceptibly shivers and wipes her mouth with the back of her hand.&nbsp; "Um..."&nbsp; she turns slightly away, looks toward the mouth of the cave. "Th- Thank you," she manages.&nbsp; Her inner voice is cursing her own stupidity, her lack of knowing how to respond.&nbsp; <br><br>There's also the fierce temptation to simply take what she wants by whatever means she chooses.&nbsp; She has tried not to listen to that voice when dealing with other elves and humans... well, not often, anyway.&nbsp; The last time she did she was run out of camp by a dozen spear-wielding, angry wives and husbands.

				&nbsp; “Of course Druidess,” the voice replies and promptly the leather note is produced through the narrow crack. Rolling back the door you move aside to allow the six soldiers, 5 males and 1 female, to enter. The once who initially spoke bows respectfully to the druid and briefly to the two others present.<br>&nbsp; “I apologize; I am the most senior of rank here. My name is Honourary Soldier Vitta,” he introduces himself. The ranked citizen of the Hill Fort has brown hair that covers most of his forehead and neck, and pale blue eyes. A wound of his right check, presumable the source of his promotion, tells the story of a Drow hand crossbow bolt. That side of his face seems paralyzed, possibly by poison. “Commander Castley was alerted about the storm wreck later than we would have liked. All the captains and the 10 regiments have formed a perimeter in case the Drow try and make for our beaches,” he explains.<br>&nbsp; Turning to Aeryn he casts his eyes up her figure, nodding in approval. “Madam, we represent the greatest military power on this island, and would like to offer you a position within the Hill Fort as a medic. You will be safest there. Would you like to leave now, in two hours?” inquires formally, but efficiently, his tone slowing down as he turns back to Morgan. “Will you and your ally be accompanying us back as well Druidess?”

But I assure you they are good people they maintain a strong militia due to the Drow. To the other races they are respectful if they come in peace I have many human friends in fact. Might I suggest you stay in the Hill Fort for now and I'll stay with you until you get settled or decide to stay at my home but it would be less secure.," she says to the soldiers and then Aeryn.<br><br>

				&nbsp; The journey back through the forest to the Hill Fort is uneventful. Your group is led by Gryviix, followed by Vitta and another male, with you in the centre. Bringing up the rear are the four remaining soldiers, two of whom are carrying Aeryn’s healing supplies.<br>&nbsp; After about 3 hours you arrive at your destination. The Hill Fort is situated on terrain only 30ft higher than you as you approach, but the 20ft square shaped wall complex of pack earth and wooden stakes makes it seem higher. You are not experts on architecture but it seems solid and the flat tops allow archers and soldiers with large weapons to easily attack enemy siege troop below.<br>&nbsp; The gates however are a different matter. Made from a mass of planks and branches nailed together they slant at a gentle backwards angle. This too looks solid, but also awkward. As word of your arrival approaches the gates are lowered backwards, evidently they lack the technology to make hinges. Soon it lies flat on the ground, revealing a series of low tents and wooden structures through the gap in the wall.

Doesn’t appear to be anything life threatening, but they will be off duty for at least a week. I doubt there is anything you can do for them, but if I am wrong I will be impressed. It has happened before,” he gestures to the tent flap behind him.<br>&nbsp; Several passersby greet Morgan, but this welcome rarely extends to Xen, and if stiff even when it does.

				Xen gives a long pause, wherein she considers that, well, this might be her last meeting with the flaxen-haired healer on such good terms... a fleeting memory of pale skin, pale hair, supple limbs... she gives a little shiver then turns toward the gate.&nbsp; "Come too damn far in anyhow..." but after perhaps four or five strides, the disgust and disappointment in her eyes gives way to understanding-- lo, no shit, a realization-- and becomes burning determination.&nbsp; The savage elf turns back toward where the wounded are being handled.&nbsp; "Oi.&nbsp; You."&nbsp; She shoulders her way up and calls after the captain.&nbsp; "I want to talk to them.&nbsp; The ones that fought the Drow.&nbsp; I want to know what they saw.&nbsp; Might be more to their skirmish than just territorial pissing."

				&nbsp; Aeryn enters the tent, keen eyes flicking over each soldier and their injuries. The worse is the blonde haired male whose arm is in a sling. His eyes barely respond to her approach and Aeryn can see that he has been almost blinded by some poison, the same substance has aslo numbed his face and upper body, causing his speech to be slurred.<br>&nbsp; In the next bed a female with light brown hair is also badly injured, still unconscious from a nicked blood vessel in her neck. Despite this, the rest will aid her recovery, and she will be up and about in a matter of days, sooner at least than the poisoned one.<br>&nbsp; The remaining guardians of the Hill Fort in the tent, one female and four males have suffered various crossbow bolts and rapier wounds, but no more vital organs were hit. Some of the projectiles appear to have been dipped in a mild blood poison, but the soldiers are of strong fortitude and Aeryn can only tell this based of the cosmetic affect of the substance around the wounds.<br>&nbsp; Xen turns away back to the freedom of the forest, only to change her mind and make for the tent as well. Captain Akkat throws an arm up, blocking her path. “Talk to Breth. He’s the least injured. And don’t go too rough on him,” he instructs her, before walking away. The barbarian enters the tent, giving Aeryn her space to work on the two critical. Breth is likewise a half-orc, with a clean shaven scalp and olive skin. “Drow strike force, 1 spider knight, 6 drow warriors. They weren’t interested in the ship, knew they were too far to get anything useful. Just wanted to hit us whilst we were spread thin, got 3 of us, we barely scratched them. Fifteen against seven, but they were better equipped, surprised us,” and mostly likely better trained, but his pride prevents him from saying so as he clutches the wound on his arm.<br>&nbsp; Morgan makes her way through the camp towards the only double story building: the wooden home of Mystic Gerial, and unofficial headquarters of the semi official Fort Spellcaster’s Guild. Currently the tired looking mage is staring at some maps with Captain Rosed, one of the few Halfling of the settlement, standing expectantly nearby. “30 soldiers may do it, but no less. And it may not matter. They asked for 45, and they won’t think we are taking them seriously if we claim we can patrol their land with less,” Gerial explains to the female officer. “Ahah! Good evening to you Druidess Morgan,” he signs, evidently pleased at the distraction, "I heard you were coming, but I was not sure if that was just the birds tweating, so they say,"<br><br>&nbsp; Aeryn<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; The blonde haired male has suffered around 9 points of dexterity damage.

And it could turn a weapon into a vicious two headed serpent by tapping his bracelet that was very dangerous.

				&nbsp; “F-faank...yu,” the blond haired soldiers tries to speak as Aeryn moves away from him, the two words echoed by the other soldiers, save the female with the neck wound who seems to be taking Aeryn’s advice very seriously. “You have exceeded my expectations, Madam Healer, the initiation report was unclear on whether or not your talent extended to magic. I am pleased to see they can,” Captain Akkath smiles. He moves towards her as she begins to fall but Xen beats him to it. “You may use my quarters,” he informs the barbarian after only a moment’s considerations. “I will be on patrol for the next few days, we must strike back at the wretched dark elves, least they think we have become weak. Find someone to take you there when you are ready. More permenant accomidation will be ready by before I return,” With that, the half-orc Captain marches away, shouting orders for archers and spearmen to be readied at the gates at quickly as possible.<br>&nbsp; Meanwhile, Gerial ponders Morgan’s question. “Druidess!” Captain Rosed notes tartly, not keen on the idea of being ignored. Her expression becomes warm however as Gryviix pads forwards, tail lowered in protest at no longer being in the forest. Slowly, the halfling holds out her hand for the wolf to sniff, “Isn’t your fur nice and soft?” she notes.<br>&nbsp; “I believe you dealt with a Hassarf, although I cannot think of what one would be doing here. They live in nomadic tribes and do not mix well with other races. They believe that one day a great sandstorm will envelope the world and then all the cities will fall and the only the strong will survive. In preparation for this, all are accomplished fighters, but it is rare to see one adept at magic. Are you sure it could not have been the item that was magic? They do have some innate magic mind you, like the aspect of sand you saw, but they can also use it offensive to blind their opponents, and they can also manipulate heat,” the mystic recalls with a shrug, “Now where would I have read that? Was it The Diary of Archmage Satron? No, I don’t think there are any Hassarf in the Kronii kingdoms...”

But if he is mortal and not a demon creature we can harm it and I found my druid magic somewhat effective. But its a new threat it seems and one I must tend to likely in the future if he is working for the Drow they have a dangerous agent out there. Duty sometimes must come before much else you know this as well as I do. That said we can relax I need to eat and get some food, plus he needs something to eat.," she says petting Gryviix being sypathetic to his needs to be outside a human settlement at least the Druid Temple is rural and has some wild about it. She assures the Captain to pet him he is fine just sad to not be outside the walls.

Show me or he'll be pissed you left his new healer out in the sun."&nbsp; Though Aeryn can certainly walk by now, Xen is reluctant to withdraw her supporting arm.&nbsp; At that, she shuffles the young woman off to rest... hopefully, once the healer's regained some strength, the three of them can decide their next plan.&nbsp; However, Xenathiel has quite rightly gained the assumption that her presence among the soldiers is not a welcome one.

				&nbsp; “Drow? We should expect them to use such a vile creature as their mercenary,” the halfing muses, “But how did it get there so quickly? They are on the other side of the island,” The mage however is not so sure, “The Drow do not sound like probably associates of a Hassarf, they are not innately immoral like the dark elves. Are you sure that was his affiliation Morgan?” he inquires.<br>&nbsp; A shy soldier leads Xen and Aeryn to a detached wooden house with a small garden growing three short rows of the same thin, long leaved plant. Inside they find three rooms, one of which contains an empty bathtub. There are also two wardrobes, of which only one of them is currently used and 5 locked chests, as well as a desk, a table and three chairs. A single window looks out onto the street from whence they came, but the view is blurry through the thick, impure glass.

				&nbsp; “If the Hassarf said that then it is possible he is a hand to a Drowess Matron Mother, but it seems unlikely his loyalty could be assured to any dark elf without mind control, and that magic was lost centuries ago to all but the most powerful of mages. Certainly there are none on this island,” Gerial continues to think out loud, still unsure what to make of things.<br>&nbsp; “The important thing for now is that the healer is in our protection. As powerful as this Hassaf creature is, it cannot take on our Hill Fort. I will inform the guards of its description with orders to kill on sight,” Captain Rosed speaks up, before turning to leave, “I will inform Commander Chastley that bows will have to wait, but if you do think of anything to reduce the amount of soldiers required to patrol the elves’ fields inform me as soon as you can,” she calls back as she exits the building.

And whilst I enjoy your company I would like to study further tonight before I retire tonight,” Gerial apologizes to the druid, and she leaves with the vague promise of some other time.<br>&nbsp; She makes her way to the tavern and finds several people she knows, including the owner of the modest establishment who offers her a cup of mountain ale and lychee pie and even finds a rabbit for Gryviix. Morgan banters idly with some of the locals, gradually feeling more and more comfortable in her second home, heading off several hours later to her temple, noting that the tree branches and flowers are stale and need to be replaced before falling asleep with the grey wolf nearby.<br>&nbsp; In the morning she rises with the sun and makes her way towards where she quickly discovers her two other companions spent the night where she finds the Xen, sitting in the sparse shade offered by the two feet of wood that extend beyond the roof. Soon Aeryn likewise emerges, only to sit down and fall into a trance.

				"Yes its a Hassarf a creature from the dessert on the far side of the island and most are warriors, this one we fought is a rarer magical using creature and the mystic can't figure out why it would be working for the drow. No magic known on the island could bind the creature to serve especially controlled by the drow who have limits in some areas. But they are warned here its unlikely according to the Captain and mystic that it would risk an attack in the Hill Fort proper. In any case it can be harmed and affected by magic so I need to be mindful of that. I will call a meeting of the druids and our allies to talk about the current matters such is overdo and necessary I think.," &nbsp;Morgan says with a concern in her voice.

Add to that dancing, feasting, drinking, using certain herbs its quite passionate. Last time it took mne a week of light work to recover.

				&nbsp; With the three of you ready to leave the only decision left if who to inform of your intentions. Whilst you consider the possibility of flight, Morgan convinces Aeryn to respect the local hierarchy. Deciding that permission for a sudden leave is best requested from the highest ranking authority, you head towards the First House of Commander Chastley, the leader of the Hill Fort. The First House is by far the most decorated building of the settlement, the roof lined with animal hide carefully sheared of all fur and dyed a light red and the walls are actually painted, albeit in a simple white. The house is surrounded by a narrow carpet of lush grass, far greener than what grows in the surrounding lands.<br>&nbsp; Despite the large windows any light inside is blocked by a second wall not far in, effectively making Commander Chastley’s home a house within a house. <strong>“Good morning to you madam healer,”</strong> he greets you as you enter the second door, sitting at a desk of dark wood, flanked by two stacks of rough parchment.<br>&nbsp; The leader of the Hill Fort people is a small man with shoulder length brown hair that hangs loose down the back of his neck in greasy clumps. Aside from this one flaw however he is a charming sight, with a slight smile and bright blue eyes in his round, soft face. His room is the only one to contain any semblance of artwork, as various benign wild animals of the island such as dear and birds have been etched into the floor and dyed with various plant essence. In the wall to your left is a wood carving of the Hill Fort’s founder: Acres the Unifier, legs braced in a strong stance, a look of stoically determination upon his face, large fists holding an unmarked banner pole, the smooth surface contrasted by the knotted muscle of his forearm, an exaggeration no doubt, but not by a great means according to some. Two military leaders: one who led troops by delegations to the captains, one who led by example. One still living, one who died on the battlefield years ago.<br>&nbsp;<strong> “I hope you found Captain Akkath’s quarters to be satisfactory. I am sure they were clean enough, but I do not know how accustomed you are to a military dwelling, so the exposed weapons hanging from the wall may have upset you,”</strong> Castley continues the pleasantries. Xen and Aeryn allow Morgan to voice their request, and it is clear he is not too pleased with it. <strong>“I understand you are distressed with his sand demon chasing you, but surely to go out is to put yourself in unnecessary risk. Would it not be better to stay here and see how it reacts? And if I cannot persuade you to stay, will you at least tell me where you will be heading?”</strong><br><br>&nbsp; Aeryn<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; You will need to cast restoration since aiding the poison recovery takes 8 hours.

				Aeryn listens to the Commander attentively. "I am&nbsp; mindful of the risk, sir.&nbsp; And very mindful that I am needed here.&nbsp; I don't intend this as a hunt for the man, thing, whatever he is.&nbsp; I see it as more a search for information.&nbsp; The druids and fey that Morgan associates with might be able to tell us more about him.&nbsp; I hope they can.&nbsp; Truthfully, I am not sure that hunting him would be of any use.&nbsp; Where do I start?&nbsp; I very much fear I will have no further contact with him until he is ready to try again."&nbsp; She is silent a moment then continues "Containing the Drow is of course your first priority.&nbsp; I won't ask you for an escort because of that, and I will return as quickly as possible because of that.&nbsp; My plan is to go to this convocation of Morgan's and return as soon as it is done."

				'May I suggest this Aeryn since they likely will need you until the current drow push is over why not come with Xen and I on day trips you should visit some of the local farmers and other folk, and several farms are easily a day trip walking so I can do my work. And if we get back before sunset the risk should be lower. When the Druid Gathering is ready we can do a longer trip there and back. I'm going to be visiting the sprite folk for some help getting the druids and our allies together. May I negotiate on your behalf with their leader on terms if they seem inclined to support you I was thinking sprites would be a fine scouting asset, some youngsters might like the challenge?," &nbsp;she says first to Aeryn then the commander of the Hill Fort about possibly some help from the fey.

				The wide foot path takes you by many clusters of farms, no more than three buildings at each site, which a modest amount of land each dotted crops too early in their growth stage to be identified. As the workers of the land, made friendly by Morgan, inform you, the primary crops of the Hill Fort are beans and corn. Other crops include turnips, carrots, barely and white barely, which Aeryn recognizes as wheat, and is surprised to learn that this is the least plentiful of crops, since from where she came from it fed most people.<br>&nbsp; Soon you are walking parallel to the tree line, occasionally passing a woodman’s cabin. The architecture of the building is the same, and they are only identifiable by the lack of worked land around them. To compensate for this the trees behind them are usually some fruit trees, bearing lemons, mangos and lychee.<br>&nbsp; You experience no troubles on your journey, save for an ambush from several members of the recent scamper monkey infestation who bombard you with rotten fruit. This attack however turns out to be a diversion as a single scamper monkey sneaks up behind you, but the creature bolts as soon as you discover it and the others soon follow.<br>&nbsp; After one and a half hours you arrive at your destination: two farms side by side, each with around a third an acre of land. Golrum and Isadora greet you, but their son Solris is absent, a small figure working on the far corner of a bean field. The married couple inform Morgan that Bridget headed into the forest to wait for her the day before yesterday. As parents they are slightly concerned, but have so far respected their daughters privacy.

				&nbsp; Agitated by your arrival, the scamper monkeys try to escape, but are too weak to do so. Bridget gives each a couple of pale nuts and then ponder how to keep them safe whilst they sleep off their inappropriate meal, since on the ground and even in the trees they will be vulnerable to predators. “Is it okay for a druid to involve herself like this Mistress Morgan, or must I leave these monkeys be?” she asks, clearly upset that the answer may be the later, “Are we permitted to build platforms in the trees for them? I know such constructs are unnatural, but they will die without them,” she inquires once the druidess has gathered her samples, including one of the fruit, although she is sure she and others at the Hill Fort have safely eaten them before.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;As Ixy wonders what little use this scene could be to her, Aeryn examines the monkeys. It turns out Bridget’s initial assessment was correct, but Aeryn is not sure if it is merely the fruit or the volume consumed that is proving problematic, as she recalls the one woodman she met complained that the scamper monkeys had gorged themselves on his mango trees, stripping them bare. “They only recently came to this part of the forest, so they must have been more at home in some other part of the forest. Maybe the elves know where,” Bridget points out, "Maybe we can ask them when we meet everyone else in your circle Mistrest Morgan?"

				&nbsp; Xen responds instinctively to the attack, moving her axe to block the spear. She is unused to such a defence, preferring to dodge and side step attacks, but the pain she feels when she tries to move her left foot reminds her that such an approach will not work in this fight. Despite this disadvantage the spear moves slowly and the barbarian easily manages to block the weapon. She swiftly counterattacks, her broad axe blade cleaving through an earthen leg and then the arm on the same side. The wounds are deep, but begin to heal seconds after the weapon is removed, completely closing over just as the warrior makes his second attack at Xen’s neck.<br>&nbsp; Meanwhile across the battle field Gryviix howls, indicating the exact position of the attacker by pointing his snout. Morgan looses an arrow into the air but it fails to connect. Bridget falls to her knees, clawing at the ground.

				&nbsp; The earthen warrior’s slow movement plays to Xen advantage as she is able to land two more blows on her opponent before it can attack.&nbsp; This time the axe is targeted twice against the torso. The first blow is a devastating one, biting more than halfway through the clump of dirt that forms the waist. The second time the metal splits the barbarian’s opponent in two.<br>&nbsp; Before Xen can even breathe a sigh of relief however the two halves of the earthen warrior begin to shift, melding into a new shape. Two child warriors, each half the height of their “parent” but just as stocky emerge from the corpse, one of them wields a club and the other a shortsword. The barbarian curses: the ground still holds her legs and Aeryn’s body is still nowhere to be seen.<br>&nbsp; Morgan curses as her wolf informs her that the target has moved position, but Bridget throws a handful of dirt she gathered into the air, briefly outlining the something. The druidess responds swiftly, releasing an arrow but it appears that in her haste the point misses the target, until there is a dull thud and a scaly green creature with two pairs of insect like wings falls into the grass. Ignoring it Morgan and Bridget hurry over to Xen, “What is wrong?” the elf calls out to her ally.

				Xen recognizes that she is in a losing situation, and barely registers that a beast falls from the sky, she is so intent on her immediate opponent.&nbsp; She grips the ground at her waist, knowing that she must move if she's to have a chance, and-- leveraging her force on the axe in one hand and her splayed hand in the other, she tries to pull herself out of the ground.&nbsp; "Distract it-- I must get free!" she pulls hard, tries to get free.&nbsp; She has no clue what the others can-- or can't-- see.

				&nbsp; The invisible voice speaks again, yelling “Stop cutting the grass you over muscled monkey!” at Xen as she tries to free herself a second time in less than a minute. This time however a figure can be matched to the voice as a small humanoid with transparent insect wings dissected with gentle swirly lines dismisses his invisibility. He is dressed in a fine robe of blue satin and wears a silver medal around his neck. His features are delicate, ears and mouth long and angular whilst his head and nose are round, like a cross between a halfling and an elf. “Ya must be losing your touch with plants,” he declares, staring as Morgan struggles against multi-strand bind of grass stems before the fey returns them back to their normal state with a snap of his finger.<br>&nbsp; “Nurahi,” the druidess exclaims in surprise as she stands, adding “A pixie,” as an aside to the rest of you. “So, it’s not evil?”&nbsp; Bridget inquires timidly, “No I am not evil young lass, just settling a dispute with Morgan here who seems to have forgotten how to care for plants.

The Outriders had to cut them back. Ya know the pain that causes them, so why did you do it?” he demands. Not wanting to get caught up in an issue between the druid circles and the creatures of nature, Bridget edges towards Aeryn and Xen as Morgan explains the fight with the Red Man, and how he was the reason they were here.

				&nbsp; “I go by the name of Nurahi,” the pixie introduces himself, smiling as Aeryn describes his race, “You seem to know a bit about us lass,” he chirps, nimbly fluttering between her and Xen, “And we do know everything, about this forest. We rarely go outside however. Turns out those guys at the unnatural hill as the locals call it have a rotten sense of humour. So do those ship folk yonder north. You visible folk always seem to think invisibility is the absolute defence, and it is against you. But too many wild animals can get past it. And let me tell you, my body is certainly not designed to withstand mistakes like that. So we rarely venture out of this forest.”<br>&nbsp; “This Red Man? I never heard of him. I can’t tell you anything about him. Now this lass on the other hand,” Nurahi indicates Morgan, “She once climbed up a tree to look into a birds nest and accidentally knocked it out. Broke all the eggs. She was terribly sorry afterwards. Then there was this other time....” You allow the pixie to leads you deeper into the forest, stopping only for Morgan to send a message to Bridget’s parents to inform them of the development, minus Nurahi’s “attack”. The druidess gracefully bears the pixie’s recanting of every embarrassing event she ever partook in with Brigit enthralled, not sure if she should laugh or look uncomfortable for her mistress.

				&nbsp; As you travel towards the centre of the woods, Nurahi tells Aeryn all he knows about the forest, starting with the different species of trees. They are standard for the most part being tall, green leaved and relatively straight in design with some out reaching branches. There are however several more exotic species, always concentrated in smalls areas. Red leaved sycamore east of the pixie’s settlement, drooping and thin branched trees with knobbly trunks in the wetter corner and stout, smooth trunked dwarven trees in the northern reaches.<br>&nbsp; The wildlife is varied, and territories often change, but rarely so drastically as with the scamper monkeys. The point she does pick up on is the safety pixie’s feel here, since almost nothing living can detect them when invisible.<br>&nbsp; The weather is fair and crops grow well, even after periods of drought. However the green fields of the elves cause a lot of tension with the buccaneers of Pirate isle, as the latter tend to supplement their diet of fish with crops, but have no land to grow their own on.<br>&nbsp; “We are nearing our settlement now,” Nurahi speaks to Aeryn in particular, but loud enough for Xen and Morgan to hear as well. "There are sixteen of us in total, and most of us should be present for you three lassies. Their use to be another one, but he left with the self proclaimed prince of this forest left. Now do you have anything that belonged to the Redman, cause otherwise this is going to be a long, blind search?”

				&nbsp; “Bloody rags? That may do. I guess there is one way to find out,” Nurahi ponders, zigzagging from side to side in the air, slowly but steadily descending until his feet touch the ground. The pixie does not take flight again, instead approaching his settlement on foot. Some ritual or custom of his kin perhaps?<br>&nbsp; The pixies live in an area of the wood that at first glance seems unremarkable save for the large amount of moss coating the tree trunks. “We dwell underground for the most. We likely do not need such a safety measure here, as I said these woods are safe, but old habits are hard to shake off. Do you want to eat something whilst I rally the others? Maybe some wine?”<br>&nbsp; Whilst waiting for a reply Nurahi takes the cloth which Xen finally managed to find and examines it. “No blood,” he declares in a quiet, puzzled voice, “Just...sand. We found sand near where you did battle. This Red Man of yours, I think his blood dries into sand. He truly is a being of the golden valleys, through and through. Now I’m even more curios,” The pixie walks over to a particularly thick tree trunk, yellow-brown where the wood shows through the moss and lifts the moderately conceal lid, calling out a single, long word in his own musical tongue.

				&nbsp; Nurahi adds another word, even longer than the first to his instructions down the hole. Prepared this time Aeryn counts twelve syllables, with wide ranges in pitch. He then turns to answer the healer’s first question, “Eons ago, when the Unnatural Hill was still being built and the elves dwelt on the fringes of this wild forest, we had much to fear. Over time the elves tamed it, at least as much as they could. But before then let me tell you lassie, we did not leave our dens to idly flutter around, least we be snapped up by a beast of darkness and shadow,”<br>&nbsp; It seems as if the pixie would happily continue, but two more of his kin emerge, interrupting them. One of the scurries over on pixie legs, his comic image enhanced by his attempts to balance a wooden tray on which rest four flat loaves of light brown bread each four inches in diameter and topped with honey. “I hope these are enough for you,” the fey apologizes, his appearance similar to that of Nurahi’s, save for his plainer, light grey garbs. The second pixie flies expertly towards you, demonstrating her skill as the four small glasses, pitchers to her, lose none of the red wine they are filled with midflight. This fey has dark blonde hair and is almost naked, strips of soft leather offering the scantest dignity possible. The two introduce themselves as Romof and Eetaki.<br>&nbsp; Your original host continues to travel from tree to tree, addressing his fellow kin through holes in the ground or doors in hollow trunks. As he does this he continues his conversation with Aeryn. “The Golden Valleys, a vast desert, the first if you believe the tales of some, almost half a year’s journey to the east of here. It was the homeland to the Masters of the Smooth Mountains, but they say a race of sand demons wiped them out, as demons will. I never paid much heed to that part of the story until now, bleeding sand does strike me as an oddly specific trait,”<br>&nbsp; “It is indeed strange,” Morgan speaks, still slightly irritated at Nurahi’s earlier tales at her own expense. “Our attacker may have seemed a demon, but Gerial from the Hill Fort said it was a creature of this world, and one more martial than magical. I trust the old man,” Bridget stays quiet on the matter, having not been there to witness it. Xen stays quiet, waiting for the pixies to move away slightly before voicing her concerns. “Are you sure we can trust them? Nurahi did attack us, and you can never tell with beings of magic,” her hand twitches towards her axe yet again.

				&nbsp; Once he has knocked on every door, Nurahi takes the sandy handkerchief to the centre of the fey settlement. Aeryn observes the pixies as they emerge from their homes, counting 9. She judges her initial assessment of the leather clad one to have been erroneous as there are two others dressed in a similar manner, one of which male, and none of them seem to be treated any differently. She does note that the fey vary between these two extremes: the bare minimum or elaborately made, if plain coloured, robes, and in many cases, such as Nurahi, the colours are bright and vibrant. Then suddenly another 7 pixies, already sitting at their position in the circle, appear out of thin air, the chuckle this produces telling you that it was most likely a harmless test to see how you would react.<br>&nbsp; “Well if that is the limit to their mischief I think we can handle them,” Xen reluctantly agrees, taking your hand from her thigh and clasping it in her own. “But Gerial...” Morgan says quickly before pausing to consider her exact words, “Recognized the creature, he could even name it. I trust him on such matters,” the elf repeats stubbornly. “Join the circle, druidess and companions of the forest,” a new pixie calls out to the three of you, this one dressed in a red streaked gown of green, his features strong, but softened by the faint hint of oncoming wrinkles in the skin above his eyes. The new speaker indicates a gap in the row of fey near to where you stand.

				Aeryn doesn't actually jump with surprise, but her eyes do widen and her writing hand freezes briefly at the sudden appearance of more fey.&nbsp; <em>Figures, now how many more are still hidden, I wonder?</em>&nbsp; The healer squeezes Xen's hand in return and is about to speak when the older pixie addresses them.<br><br>And he must be old indeed.&nbsp; "Of course, sir."&nbsp; Aeryn&nbsp; sets her journal aside and rises smoothly&nbsp; from her cross legged postion pulling Xen up with her to take her place in the circle.

				&nbsp; The presumed leader of the pixies waits until the three of you have seated yourselves down before addressing the whole of you as a group. “We have gathered here because our forest, which we strive to protect and maintain as a haven of peace, has been invaded by a servant of evil, a sand demon. He has threatened a druidess and her elven companion, along with a human healer who wishes to heal wounds, not create them. As such, we will now attempt to divine his presence that we may prevent his foul nature from further tainting our homeland. Humanoid spell casters, any magic you can offer during this ritual, as long as it is not destructive in nature, will help us,” With that the fey folk join hands and begin to concentrate, working their innate magic without need of hand gestures or speech. Some flick their wings restlessly, but most stay still.

				Aeryn has participated in similar rituals many time.&nbsp; This pooling of power, merging of effort comes easy to her.&nbsp; She does poke Xen sharply when the barbarian rolls her eyes, but drops into her trance seamlessly.&nbsp; Prayer, she decides, will be her most effective active contributin other than passively allowing her own powers to be tapped.&nbsp; her mind clears, her face softens as she gingerly draws upon the source of her gifts to aid the entire circle.

				&nbsp; The shaking, buzzing wings of the fey folk begin to ripple the air, the subtle, intangible waves leaving a shimmer that lingers in their wake, until the entire area becomes enveloped in a sparkling haze. At the centre of the circle these chaotic surges concentrate, becoming a constant glow of bright, blinding light. Abruptly it dies and when the surrounding miasma retreats a new land becomes visible: rough cliffs, garnished in sand, a dried up river bed leading to a cave, cut with a rough preciseness rarely seen in nature. You get the sense of a day’s travel.<br>&nbsp; As a group the majority of you focus on the inside of the cave and you are greeted with a picture of a wall of orange mud painted in simply, faded colours lined with cracks from the glaring sun above. You see two rows, one of seven people and one of a similar number of animals. The images in the first row are all the same, merely increasing in size from each side, with the largest in the middle. The animals however are all different, from left to right: a comically round bodied beast of red, a lizard with a single, long fang, an ant with a crown upon its head, a sleek jackal with a sceptre in its jaw, a sandstorm in the shape of a sitting hound, a bulky herd animal with long shaggy fur and straight horns and finally a curled up cat with a glowing purple light hovering above its closed eyes..<br>&nbsp; Now however the attention of the group splints and the image in the circle becomes fragmented as it responds to multiple desires. Some are keen to see the physical layout of the cave; others want to know more about specifics paintings. The concentration required to see these images means you can only look at one, but the magic at your finger tips means you may choose a new scene.<br><br>&nbsp; OOC: Basically if enough of you want to see a particular thing then you can. The spell you contributed will allow you to see one scene even if no one else focuses on that. After you have used up its energy you will need to collaborate with others. Was that clear?

				&nbsp; The healer focuses her attention on the central figure of the jackal and as its image grows she catches movement in the others out of the corner of hers eyes as the rest of the pictures begin to come to life, but they are swiftly pushed aside as the largest human figure and the beast below it merge. The jackal now stands on two legs, opening its mouth to reveal flat, humanlike teeth and a pale yellow tongue. The sceptre falls onto one paw, where it balances itself unnaturally. An orange glow composed of tightly knit strands of light weave themselves around the beast, but at the same time its feet sink into gray stone, the flesh of the legs disappearing to be replaced by bone which become bound with a blue chain. Some pixies continue to focus, hoping to glean more and other join in, but other break away to focus on one of the other six.

				&nbsp; It does not take long for the spell to fall apart as too many of you pursue different roots of inquiry, being unable to meet so many demand, the magic simply slips away. As the affect fades, the void of your senses is flooded with the stimuli of your surroundings that until now had gone unnoticed.<br>&nbsp; Aeryn recovers first and begins questioning the fey folk on what they saw. The image of the sand monster, presumed to be the Red Man, attracted much attention. The kneeling hound symbolized strong loyalty and upon further examination his blood soaked hand gripped by another and a pile of items glowing green and yellow were also revealed. The former indicates his owing of a life debt to someone, and the gear seems to be enchanted with conjuration and transmutation magic.<br>&nbsp; Many of them are convinced the leader of the enemy is a good speaker; hence his tongue of honey, and must on some level be controlling the others through charisma and promises, rather than brute force. However, the remaining aspects of the vision are less, clear, although the orange energy suggests to the healer a spell caster, but she is not sure if it is one who gains power from the worship of the sun, or one who directly invokes its intense flames.<br>&nbsp; The crowned insect creature appears to be the humanoid jackal’s bride, but the dry soil on which she stood, littered with dead, dry plants, indicate that she is barren, which seemed to be an important factor in her role. Her mind flooded pink energy out into the surroundings, indicating a rigid, but competent form of mind magic.<br>&nbsp; Some asked why the Red Man attacked Morgan, and they saw a hunting dog, tearing at a mother dear’s throat whilst his master watches on with approval. The beast was trying to get to the younger ones who fled whilst their mother sacrificed herself. You have heard of this cruel practice: for many nobles the softer fur and leaner meat of the younglings attracted a higher price, and so many hunters would sell only them, gathering as much as they could carry and leaving the mother’s corpses to be had by the wolves. With a shudder you recall one of your masters, who would regularly eat a young dear, boiled whole with only the head and hooves removed. A few of the pixies also inquired as to what Aeryn’s role was in the confrontation, and saw merely a cracked stone splattered in blood.

				Aeryn sits cross legged at the edge of the pixie encampment, just staring off into space for quite some time after she finished her interviews with the participants in the ritual.&nbsp; She doesn't like the path her thoughts are turning down, not at all.&nbsp; She shakes herself literally and pulls out her writing kit, a small lapdesk with a hinged top filled with paper, inks, pens and pencils.&nbsp; She prepares withalmost ritualistic care, setting a small bottle of ink in a receptacle on the lapdesk, carefully sharpening a quill pen, neatly aligning a stack of paper by her side on a square of cheesecloth.&nbsp; Then she begins to write in common, in a slow, precise hand.&nbsp; She is composing a formal report for the garrison commander of the Hill Fort.&nbsp; It is not a steady flow of words onto paper, she pauses frequently to review her journal notes, once she shreds what she has writen and starts over.&nbsp; Any who approach her while she is writing are ignored, unless they happen to touch her, if any food or drink is placed by her, she consumes it absently, with a murmur of thanks.<br><br>Always fair skinned, she is paler than usual.&nbsp; The healthy glow to her cheeks is gone, her lips are firmly compressed together.&nbsp; She keeps her face impassive, the blankness of a professional scribe... but there is a flicker of fear deep in her eyes.

				&nbsp; Morgan tries to talk to the pixies, but the fey folk seem keen to withdraw to their underground homes, and the druid is either unable or unwilling to follow them. She doesn’t rejoin you immediately, instead taking a moment to re-boned with her wolf companion, who appears to have been unnerved by the images of the ritual.<br>&nbsp; As Aeryn focuses on making her report to the Hill Fort she senses a figure approaching her and a hand is placed upon her shoulder. Xen does not speak at first however, waiting for one of your longer pauses. “Me and Morgan also saw something,” she says quietly. “Morgan learnt that the jackal used to live in a sand valley on the other side of the island. And I asked if he had any enemies and saw his arm fall off, whatever that means,” she chuckles slight slightly, adding “Do you want to add that to your report as well,” after a pause.

				&nbsp; "He is a coward," Xen insists stubbornly, "The elves manage to have leaders who lead them into battle, why can't Chastley do the same?” she asks, her voice becoming increasingly flustered, “How the fuck are you even suppose to lead if you cannot see what is going on? His army could be getting slaughtered and he couldn't do anything because he would be there to....I am sorry Aeryn," the barbarian stops, briefly casting her eyes down, "My tribe saw combat differently.

				&nbsp; You set off towards the house of Golrum and Isadora where you drop Bridgit off. The girl could sense the seriousness of the situation before Morgan explained the basic version of it, but it still seems that the farm girl is not sure whether to feel sorry for Aeryn or hate her. The parents at least are fully understanding, and Isadora even offers the healer a cursebreaker weaved from a bright green vine and small mottled feathers.<br>&nbsp; With that done you quickly visit the remaining farms, Morgan trying to help their crops with mundane methods, whilst Aeryn helps with a rotten tooth and a sprained hind leg along with several minor scratches and old scars. Xen meanwhile chases the monkeys away for want of something better to do. With that work done you return to the Hill Fort, again falling victim to one of the scamper monkeys’ fruit bombards. “Ungrateful mutts,” Xen mumbles, not appreciating it when you point out that the slang usually refers to canine creatures.<br>&nbsp; You arrive at the human settlement about 2 hours before sunset. The gates take a while to open and once they have been lowered you see that they are manned by only half the usual number. Inquiring about this you are led up a flexible but stable ladder onto the top of the earthen walls, where there is a 7ft wide area on which you can stand. Down by the sea front behind the settlement you can see a massive group of people, just over 400, gathered around the water’s edge. “The elves brought in one of the casualties from the storm. A human, made it to land but died shortly after,” a guard informs you, the Hill Fort’s usual purple banner exchanged for one dark blue, almost black. “He wanted to be buried by his own kin, so the elves sent him to us. Castley is talking to the people,”

				&nbsp; Aeryn climbs down the ladder and exits the still open pair of gates. Neither Xen nor Morgan follows the healer, not wishing to intrude on what may be a personal moment. Down by the beach Chastely speaks for another 10 minutes, talking about the mixed blessing of the storm, about the two deaths, this one and another buried in the elven forests, but also of the 9 survivors who the forest folk recovered and who will live. He concludes on a positive note, stressing his confidence that some of these survivors would soon join them and their fight against the vile drow.<br>&nbsp; After this he promptly leaves, abruptly stepping down from a wooden plinth and returning to the Hill Fort along with the four bodyguards who had until now been standing vigil over the dead body. The common citizens and soldiers linger on, some approaching to offer a token gift or words, but most are apparently unsure of what to do. The body on the raft, his modesty preserved by a simple white spun cloth seems so uninterested, so beyond anything they can offer.<br>&nbsp; Waiting her turn Aeryn finally approaches the funeral barge. It is simply made, and the pale wooden planks won’t last long on the water. Her eyes glide over it towards the body at the centre: she does indeed recognize it. Short cropped dark blonde hair, a wide tuff of it below the nose and bristle on the chin. His eyes, now closed, where green in life, and just below them is a scare, a small nick from sword practice. The bare skin of his shoulder, not at all tanned but not quite pale, show signs of muscle tone, but beneath the white cloth evidence of the fat around the stomach is visible. He will lie here for another three hours, before the lowering tide will take his body away to sea.

				Aeryn sways slightly. her mind is a swirl of relief, guilt, triumph, anger, more guilt.&nbsp; "I'm Free.&nbsp; Really, truly,&nbsp; deep in my gut, and the center of my soul.&nbsp; I'm free."<br>She honestly doesn't know what to do next.&nbsp; Burn an offering?&nbsp; Dance naked&nbsp; around his body chortling with glee?&nbsp; He had treated her.... not badly by the standards of his peers.&nbsp; She had never been able to say ko when summoned to his bed, of course.&nbsp; Or when he loaned her to others.&nbsp; That hadn't happened often, thank the Gods.&nbsp; But he had fed her, clothed her.&nbsp; Had given her a very long leash, never interfered, well, hardly interfered with her work at the Royal hospital or assorted charity wards.&nbsp; And he had paid for her education. <br><br>"Proper care and training of a prime head of livestock, I suppose."&nbsp; A gravedigger gave her a look when she said that, but shrugged and leaned on his shovel waiting almost as patiently as the dead man.&nbsp; Aeryn finally reachs into her pouch and pulls out two silver coins and lys one of them on each of her former master's eyes.&nbsp; Her fingers did linger a bit on his cheek.&nbsp; "Good bye."&nbsp; She says simply, spins on her heel and walks quickly back to the fort.&nbsp; She has a report to deliver to the Commander when he had time to hear it, preparations for a long journey to make.&nbsp; And Xen.&nbsp; She still has Xen.

				&nbsp; You head back to the Hill Fort, being one of the last to enter before the gates are closed. Just inside the walls a slightly annoyed Xen stands with two guards behind her. As soon as she sees you the barbarian move to intercept, pausing after the first step and turning to face the two guards before continuing. “I told a guard we wanted to speak with Chastley, and they seemed to think I was asking for an armed escort,” the elf growls, reaching out to take your hand, “Morgan went to talk to Gerial, she’ll be at the gates waiting for us. Let’s go talk to him,” As she follows the guards the barbarian is silent, allowing you to decide on whether or not speak of what you saw on the beach.<br>&nbsp; You enter the strange pseudo-military home of the Hill Fort’s commander, walking through the second door where the guards remain to be greeted by Chastley, alone in his room. His desk is clear of any papers, quills or charts, the smooth wood dotted only with several decorative items.<strong> “Aeryn,”</strong> he exclaims with pleasure, leaning forwards in his chair. <strong>“I missed you at the beach. It is a shame; I could have introduced you formally to those gathered, although perhaps it is for the best. I would not like to appear presumptuous as to where you will make your home. You have a report about the farming hamlets for me?”</strong>

				Aeryn gives Xen's hand a squeeze and whispers.&nbsp; "It was Hin.&nbsp; Lord Nolan.&nbsp; The basta..&nbsp; He's dead."&nbsp; Aern gives her lover a peck on the cheek and a quick hug, a brief one in deference to the soldier's sensibilities.&nbsp; "Let's go find the Commander."<br><br>"Commander Chastely, not so much about the hamlets, what we saw of them appear to be in good shape, but we were interrupted.."&nbsp; Aeryn gives him a concise account of the engagement with the Pixie and a nd her observations concerning the Pixie settlement."&nbsp; Then she reaches into her carryall and lays a stack of papers n Chastely's desk.&nbsp; Written in a precise hand, numbered pages, secured in a light folio.&nbsp; "The details are in my report, but we have another problem."&nbsp; &nbsp; She hesitates a moment.&nbsp; "And I do mean 'we' sir.&nbsp; I've already decided to throw in with you and your command.&nbsp; But there is something that needs to be attended to." <br><br>&nbsp;She stares into space for a moment, organizing her thoughts.&nbsp; "The pixies kindly consented to assist me in learning more about the red Man.&nbsp; We formed a scrying circle, everybody assisted as they could.&nbsp; What we found was disturbing.&nbsp; In essence, there appears to be a faction you didn't know about.&nbsp; I sispect none of the other known factions knew about it either.&nbsp; They are based in a sandy desert region on the other side of the island."&nbsp; She stops suddenly as a thought strikes her.&nbsp; "How big is this island anyway, does anybody have any real idea?&nbsp; I'm wondering if this desert is natural mor magical in nature.&nbsp; In anycase, the Red Man is a subordiate, a hatchet man, not the source of the threat.&nbsp; &nbsp;HE may not be a willing servant.&nbsp; &nbsp;Based on his demonstrated abilities, I find contemplating an entity who could compell him to action against his will rather alarming.&nbsp; I intend to check this out."

				&nbsp;<strong> “That fey magic? Strange, I expected it to take longer,”</strong> Chastley picks up the report and reads through the pages, slowly, carefully. A silence spreads over the room but the commander refuses to break it, focusing entirely on the writing.<br>&nbsp; “It takes 3 days to get to the drow, and 2 and a half for the Pirate Isle. Fuck knows what’s between them though, nobody has any reason to go there,” Xen whispers in your ear. The commander continues reading for another minute or so before laying the papers down. <strong>“Yokan, get Gerial here, I need to consult him on something,”</strong> he calls out, and one of the guard leaves immediately.<br>&nbsp; <strong>“This is indeed a serious matter. But I don’t suppose I could convince you that there are others better suited for this scouting mission?”</strong> He inquires delicately, whilst producing some maps from a draw that confirm Xen’s estimation of the island’s size. The commander is explaining to you about how little is known about the terrain inland when Gerial returns along with Morgan, and there is another stretch of silence as the Hill Fort’s mage likewise reads Aeryn’s report.<br>&nbsp; <strong>“So how accurate is this information?”</strong> Chastley inquires once Gerial too is finished. “The magic of the pixies is cryptic and unreliable. However, the simplicity of 7 figures is hard to ignore. I would not place much stock in the interpretations of what was interpreted, but the basic premise is sound,” the mage says, frowning. <strong>“And do you think this deserves to be investigated?”</strong> the commander asks, narrowing his eyes. “Without a doubt. Only powerful individuals could create such cryptic images ironically,”<br>&nbsp; Morgan approaches you, “The bloody handkerchief. Do you either of you have it? I need it, it’s important,” the druidess inquires. You snap back to hear, <strong>“That’s enough for me,”</strong> as Chastley nods before continuing, <strong>“But let’s not be hasty. The three of you are adept I am sure, but you cannot do this alone. Stay the night please, Captain Akkath has not yet returned and so his quarters may still house you. In the morning I will have a list of individuals who may accompany you. Is that agreeable?” </strong>

				Aeryn is expecting the commander's objection.&nbsp; "I'm sure there are many better suited in most ways, but none who are likely to draw The red man out of hiding.&nbsp; His best tactic is to simply ignore anybody looking for him.&nbsp; That will be hard for him&nbsp; to do if I am one of the searchers.'<br><br>The healer&nbsp; looks at Morgan in surprise, then delves into her carryall and produces the article wrapped in oiled parchment.&nbsp; "Here.&nbsp; what's going on?"<br><br>Aeryn is visibly relieved at the offer of an escort.&nbsp; More than agreeable, it is deeply appreciated, Commander, as is the use of Captain Akkath's quarters."&nbsp; She gives Xen a soft nudge and a softer smile.&nbsp; "With your permission, Commander, I will bid you good evening and report to you in the morning."&nbsp; She tugs slightly on Xen's arm, murmuring to her "Mess hall, a quick round of the infirmary, then bed, eh?"

				&nbsp; <strong>“Maybe you are right, Aeryn. Although truth be told I would rather wait and see how this new faction acts than risk a healer as talented as yourself. Morgan, barbarian, be sure to protect her,”</strong> Chastley dismisses you. Once outside Morgan takes the oil wrapped rag, promising that it will prove something once you return before heading off to her temple.<br>&nbsp; Aeryn and Xen make their way to the mess hall. “I wonder if it’s too late to go and spit on his grave,” the barbarian muses as you sit down with a wooden plate full of thick stew and a flat loaf of bread. “We respect noble warriors, but there if nothing noble in slavery,” she continues grimly, eaten the rest of the meal in silence unless spoken to.<br>&nbsp; With a full belly Xen is slightly less enthusiastic about going to the infirmary, but understands that it is important to you and follows, albeit lagging behind slightly. Once at the tent the barbarian lingers on the outside, and by the time she have entered you have already seen two minor injuries. The soldiers you treated the other day are all gone, save for the blonde haired man who has recovered significantly, but his speech is still slurred and his reflexes sluggish. Using magic this is soon changed and the soldier leaves the tent after many thanks to his healer. Aeryn inquires about the female soldier, worried that she has been moved out too early and is told that she decided to go home and be treated by her sister.<br>&nbsp; On the way back the healer pops into the house and heals the wound with magic, also doing what she can in the 10 minutes she promised Xen it would be to make sure the recovery is as painless as possible and leaves no scars before finally heading towards the quarters of Captain Akkath. As you approach the large wooden building you catch sight of a brown haired human: a female captain named Notran. She waves at you but makes no attempt to engage you in conversation and so you enter your assigned sleeping area. As the door close behind you Xen places a hand on your shoulder, “Do you smell that in the air?” she asks mischievously.

				&nbsp; “Nothing,” Xen shakes her head at your absent minded look, leaning down to kiss your forehead. Abruptly the barbarian grips your wrists, folding your arms into your lap. Lowering herself to her knees she grasps you left boot, coaxing it off with circular movements and a bit of tugging, whilst the finger’s of the other hand, pressed firmly into your calf, glide down in the wake of the boot. With them and the socks removed, the copper skin elf wraps her slender fingers around the side of your feet, kneading the soles with the base of her palms, watching the toes dip a fraction in response to the pressure. As she does this, Xen notices the almost invisible scar from the pixie’s arrow just below your right knee. Muttering something she pulls herself over to gently kiss the minor imperfection of the skin, before resuming her focus to the soles of your feet.

				Aeryn groans with relief as her boots come off with the blissful surprise of the massage.&nbsp; &nbsp; She giggles at the kiss on her small wound, and curls, then flexes her toes while the barbarian kneads the stiffness and soreness away.&nbsp; She slowly unbuckles her armor and slides it over her head, following that with languidly pulling off the cotton shirt she wears beneath it.&nbsp; Not exactly a strip-tease baring of her upper body, but more sensual than merely undressing.<br><br>"That damned dart wound, or whatever the little beggar stuck me with still itches."&nbsp; The healer leans forward slightly and runs her hands through along Xen's braids.&nbsp; A moment of slow caresses along the elven woman's head and face, then her hands drop to her companion's shoulders and begin undoing the upper catches of Xen's armor.&nbsp; Her worries about the future - and she has many, the security of the promised escort from Chastley reassures her, but the responsibility she will carry for the soldier's lives will be yet another burden - are fading into the background.&nbsp; "You don't have to come with me after this man.&nbsp; The fact that you will means more to me than I can say."

				&nbsp; “I bet you can’t wait to work here. No walking, just standing in a tent all day with a endless stream of bruises and cuts to see to,” Xen mocks you, gripping your foot in both hands and drawing each thumbs across, starting at the centre working to the edges. “But for now we have a long journey ahead of us, so I think I’m going to be getting a lot of practice,”<br>&nbsp; The elf continues to smile at your comment on the wound. “I told you they couldn’t be trusted. Not that I’m saying we shouldn’t go to this desert place, just that we should check all our stuff, least some of its missing,” the barbarian warns, raising her head to watch you as you begin to strip. <br>&nbsp; With your fingers reaching for her hair, the barbarian starts to loosen the strap on her own armour, but abandons the attempt when you begin to do so yourself, allowing you to remove the thick layer of grey, wrinkled hide but volunteering to remove the stained shirt below. Bare-chested the elf moves closer to you, one arm grips your waist and the other your shoulder and with only a slight exertion of effort Xen lifts you into a stand position. “Of course I will come with you,” she speaks, still holding you, your exposed breasts rubbing against each others’.

				Aeryn is making soft noises deep in her throat, a close a a human can come to purring while Xen coaxes the stiffness and soreness out of her foot.&nbsp; "You're not all that far wrong, Love.&nbsp; Healing isn't just what I do, a healer is what I am.&nbsp; Even if I didn't have a single spark of my ability, semi-magical, semi-divine, whatever it it is.&nbsp; I'd be wrapping wounds and setting bones as a true healer's assistant if I could."&nbsp; &nbsp;She added with a grin "Except for the occasional field trip to check rumours of newly discoverd beasts and plants, of course."<br><br>&nbsp;She smiled slightly at the warning about the light-fingered little people.&nbsp; "I set out some baubles from my trade goods, those are all gone.&nbsp; I expected that.&nbsp; But you're ri-i-ight..."&nbsp; Her voice wavered slightly as she was pulled to her feet and held close.&nbsp; "...I'll check my gear."<br><br>They were nearly the same height, but despite the best efforts of wind and sun, her innate powers kept her skin fair and soft.&nbsp; But Xen, even that skin usually covered by armor was the same copper hue.&nbsp; And scars, so many scars.&nbsp; The human's bosom was noticeably larger, but softer than the elven woman's.&nbsp; But their nipples were equally taut as they moved slightly against each other drawing those hard little nubbins of flesh across each others' skin.&nbsp; <em>How old are you?&nbsp; you fight like a veteran.&nbsp; The way you make love to me,it's damn certain I'm not you first woman.&nbsp; Or your tenth.</em>&nbsp; Aeryn puts thoughts such as that aside with an inward shrug and kisses the elf as her hands move across her companions sleekly muscled back.

				&nbsp; Xen accepts your kiss, moving her tongue forwards towards your lips as her arms encircle your waist, drawing the two of you together in an even tighter union. You own hands across her back cause slight rises in your lover’s posture which you yourself feel as the movement brushes the tips of your nipples against her skin. The tip of the barbarian’s tongue touches your lips before the copper skinned elf ventures for a more aggressive kiss, her tongue now touching yours as your lips are pressed together in a show of fierce passion.<br>&nbsp; As the two of you kiss, the barbarian’s hand move down from your waist, fingers pressing into the thighs, moving upwards and stopping to grip the flesh of your rear through your breeches. For a moment longer you stand there, but then Xen cannot resist a second show of controlled strength and hoists your body up until your bosom is just below her face. On graceful feet the elf turns a full circle before laying you down gentle on the bed, her hands returning to your waist to begin to pull down your breeches.
