Kiva chuckles, "Now how could I possibly be to blame for any of this? I'm just following House orders."

"The dragon who made us crash, of course."

Thariv nods, "Good luck with that, cousin. Truly. I think if anyone I know had the brass to chase after a dragon, it would be you."

Kiva smiles, "Well, he did make it personal. Tell me, where is Miss Hemdren? I wish to check on her."

"She is down by the beach, making fishing nets with the other infirm."


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Kiva stands and squeezes Thariv on the shoulder before heading off to find Evangeline. She approaches slowly, making sure the other woman sees her coming if possible.

"Hello, Evangeline," She says slowly once she's near enough to be heard. There is no pleasantness in her voice, it is not a voice that says that she is greeting a friend or someone who's well-being she truly cares about. "I was pleased to learn that you survived the crash. It's a shame about your injuries, it won't make what's to come very easy for you. No, not at all."

Sorry for the wrong alias last post!

The young student stops tying the fishnet and looks up from her makeshift pallet of soarwood. "M-Mistress Kiva. I am glad to see you are up and about... what... what do you need? I cannot do much."


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Kiva reaches out towards Evangeline's face, just to watch her flinch. She pushes a stray piece of hair behind Evangeline's ear and says quietly, "For now, you just rest this pretty little face of yours. Soon enough, when you're as healed as you can manage, you will go and you will do as you were told. You are not excused from your debt simply because you got a little banged up."

Evangeline visibly trembles then nods slowly. "Yes... Mistress Kiva."


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

"Good girl," She says patting Evangeline's face. "I've got to look into this whole mess, Evangeline. It's time I go run amok in your prophecy. Don't worry if you don't see me for awhile. I promise, I'll find you again."

Is she healed enough to start moving further into the island yet?

The Con damage has healed, but you are still fatigued for two days, you can explore, just cannot run or over exert yourself.


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Kiva leaves Evangeline and returns to Thariv, "I'm going to do some looking around. I won't go far, I'm not really up for a fight if I find trouble. I'll see if I can get Denovan to walk with me, perhaps if he is occupied he won't cause trouble."

Kiva seeks out Denovan, "Walk with me for awhile? I want to look around the area some but I'm not really up to par just yet. Unless you have something else you should be doing?"

You find Denovan sitting on a log staring out at the sea. He looks up, "Should? Probably, but stretching my legs seems like more fun. Anywhere you are wanting to go?"

"You mean besides behind the bushes for a quick shag?" :D

Kiva pauses a moment and looks around her, "I guess I just like to know my surroundings. Especially if I'm at a disadvantage to defending myself. Have you looked around much yet?"

"Yeah... there are some rocks over there, and a lot of sea water over there... and if you look just over there you'll see the lack of things to do on this wretched island." The gambler laughs. "I haven't strayed too far from the beach, hoping to keep an eye out for a rescue ship."


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

"I don't think anyone is coming to save us anytime soon," Kiva says with a grim expression on her face. "Come on then, I'm not moving very fast but I'll be damned if I'm going to just sit around."

Kiva begins moving slowly down the beach away from the campsite.

The gambler falls into stride beside you, doing his best to keep pace with you. "Rough trip so far. Say, where's your sitter? Haven't seen you without that blue-skin this whole time."


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

"If he's smart he's taking five minutes to care for himself. That being said, he's probably fretting over the fact that I didn't come right back and is looking for me by now. Do you have a problem with K'exik?"

Denovan shakes his head, "Me? A problem? No, Hmm-mmm. Not me. Just don't trust a gilled elf."

Denovan's intention seems naught but humble misinformed racism.

The shrubbery and palm trees quickly envelope you as you make your way away from the beach. The undergrowth is still sparse, but you can tell that unless you find a path or stream it will require a blade to swath the way. The air is sticky and humid even at the edge of the jungle, filled with sounds of strange birds and mysterious clacking sounds.


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Kiva groans at finding the way blocked from her for the time being. "He saved my life, again, it seems. I trust him as much as I trust anyone. That noise? Dear gods, is that the crabs Thariv and K'exik were talking about? They must truly be huge." She redirects them in another direction, following the path of least resistance as she is unwilling to strain herself.

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Denovan listens for a moment, "They... they can't be that big can they?"

The path seems navigable for now, the sounds of the beach and the survivors slip away as the sounds of the island become more prominent. The clacking is all around, in seemingly random places. As you walk, your foot kicks up a little sand where you see a crude bone and shell necklace.


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Kiva starts to squat down, but recalling her injuries thinks better of it and nudges Denovan, "What's that?"

Dark Archive

Male Hagspawn Witch 15/Souldrinker 5

Denovan smiles, "I believe pirates call it 'buried treasure.' I doubt it is something from the ship, and unless I am sorely mistaken about nature I don't think that giant crabs are into jewelry making." He kneels, taking a moment longer than usual due to some of his own scrapes and bruises, before handing the necklace to you.

Wisdom check please.

The bones and shells of this necklace are of discernible origins, but there is a large piece of broken shell at its center with deep gouges in its surface. The jewelry seems appropriately sized for someone of your stature. ie Medium creature.

Kiva starts to laugh at Denovan's smart ass response but the shooting pain in her rib warns her away from more than a chuckle and makes it end with a groan. "Thank you," she says as she looks over the necklace.

Male Hagspawn Witch 15/Souldrinker 5

The crude symbol carved into the necklace is the same as the shape on K'exik's tabard- the unholy symbol of the Devourer.


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Kiva pockets the necklace carefully. So long as the path is clear enough for her to move forward without difficulty, and she is not feeling the straings from walking, she will continue on.

The clacking is almost omnipresent, but you haven't actually seen any of the dark-chitin crabs yet.

Survival check, please.

With the increase of the clacking sound, Kiva pauses, "Perhaps we should go a different direction..."

You notice tracks in the sandy ground, but you cannot tell if they were left by Ethaniel and his scouts... or something else.

Denovan looks around. "Seems like vines and trees any way we choose."


Boss Lady Dragon of the Early Evening

"Back the way we came, then. Don't know if our men made those tracks or if they came from the locals. I'm not really in the mood to make new friends."

Dark Archive

Male Hagspawn Witch 15/Souldrinker 5

The confident gambler goes a little greener. "Um... what locals?"


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

"The locals we don't want to meet right now," Kiva digs out the necklace he just retrieved for her and lets it dangle from her fingertips for a moment before putting it back in her pocket. "I don't think that this was left behind by one of our scouts. Come on," she says as she places a hand on his back to guide him back the way they came.

As Kiva turns to head back the path, she notices a pair of reptilian eyes glinting from behind the vines. She is able to make out a scaled creature which fits all description of the sea devils she has heard of.

The creature crouches, then springs forward with its trident, lunging at Kiva. The bone weapon buries into the sand beside her.

Trident: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

While Kiva watches, there is a clacking sound suddenly from behind her.

Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Pain lances through Kiva's leg as a monstrous black-shelled crab attacks from behind and snaps its massive claw down on her leg.

Round One
Sahuagin

Denovan
Giant Crab

The sea devil lunges, attempting to tear at Kiva with its teeth and claws.

Claw1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Both claws latch onto Kiva's skin and rend deep gouges in her flesh.

There is a rustle as a second sahuagin springs from its hiding place.
"Σκότωσε!" Skóto̱se it yells to the crab as it levels its own trident at the unlucky gambler.
Trident: 1d1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Luck stays with Denovan for a moment longer as he deftly steps aside in the nick of time.


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Kiva draws her dagger and tries to sink it into the scaled flesh of the sea devil latched onto her.

The dagger glances off the thick scales of the creature, and it seems completely unharmed.

From his boot, Denovan quickly produces his own dagger and tries to fend off the crustacean, but the blade skitters off the shell.
Dagger: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Following its master's instruction, the crab tries to take down the gambler.
Claw1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Grab/Grapple: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Constrict: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The crab reaches up and tears strips of flesh from Denovan's torso before gripping the gambler and bringing him to his knees. The young noble screams in agony as he struggles to escape the vice.

Round Two
Sahuagin x2
Kiva
Denovan
Giant Crab

The sea devil licks its claws, and risks exposing itself to retrieve its trident from the dirt to skewer Kiva, but it misjudges the distance and swings wide with its attempt.
Provokes attack of opportunity to retrieve trident.
Trident: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Leaving Denovan to its pet, the Sahuagin witch doctor attempts to stab Kiva with her own trident. The druid also misjudges, and Kiva is momentarily spared.
Trident: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

AoO 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage 1d4 ⇒ 4

IF there is enough room in the area they are in with all the trees/growth etc, then she will reach out and cast enlarge person on Denovan. If there is not, then she will instead cast acid splash at the druid for 1d3 ⇒ 3. After either action, she will take a 5'ft step away from the threats.

Male Hagspawn Witch 15/Souldrinker 5

There is enough room, there is light brush but movement isn't hindered.

Kiva is unable to land a blow on the sahuagin scout. With a surprised look, Denovan grows to the size of an ogre. Grinning like a madman, the large gambler swings his massive dagger at the scout, but greatly misjudges the distance. "Dammit."
Large Dagger: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

However, as Denovan grows, the crab looses its grip and turns to attack a safer target- Kiva.
Claw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Would you prefer this to playout or pick up from where Kiva wakes up next, cinematic style?

Hmmmm... cinematic!

A warmth spreads throughout Kiva's body, starting at her wrist. As her eyes flutter open, she sees the golden bracelet glowing briefly before the aura fades. The sand is stained with dark ichor. The sahuagin scout and shaman lay face first in the sand, three parallel wounds mar each of their backs, their tabards rent by a sharp piercing weapon. The implement of their demise becomes apparent as your gaze shifts to what remains of the large black crab, its shell cracked in two- a large (and familiar) bone trident pinning it to the ground. The enlarged gambler sits nearby on a fallen tree, examining the rips in his clothing, still stained with blood, but the grievous wounds he received are gone.

Standing nearby, your eyes fall upon the bare feet of one you call your ally. His priestly vestments stained with sahuagin blood and crab viscera, K'exik Alezara smiles down at you.


Male Aquatic Elf Cleric/5

He speaks the Common tongue for the sake of Denovan, "You really should not be wandering an unknown isle."


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

"Well, I can't very well lay around on an unknown island getting nothing done and expect to ever get off this island. I wanted to be on a beach drinking rum and rolling around in the sand with naked men and women... this is not what I had in mind; you're both far too overdressed and I don't have any damn rum. Oh, yeah, plus there are things trying to kill me. Again."

She struggles to her feet and looks around her and raises an eyebrow, "You certainly seem to have recovered nicely."

"I suppose I should say thank you. Again. I do so hate saying thank you," She says, somehow managing to not actually say thank you. She digs in her pocket and holds out the necklace they retrieved from the sand, giving it to K'exik. "Found this before we got attacked."

She looks at Denovan with a mischievous smile, "So, what did you think of the locals?"


Male Aquatic Elf Cleric/5

K'exik spends a few moments extracting his trident from the carapace of the crab. "Yes, well... you could say the extent of my injuries was... exaggerated a bit. I was wounded, but it was better for me to play it up, as it were." The Emissary comes over and examines the necklace.
Heal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

"I expected to finds such talismans, I was just hoping that they would not be constructed of khoravar bones. This totem was crafted less than a month ago..."

Denovan grins, glad to be alive. "Oh they seem about as feisty as some of the girls I have waiting back in Sharn... Just as eager to kill me, too."


Female Half-Elf Sorceress (Aberrant/Draconic Crossblooded - Blood of Khyber)/2 - Rogue/1

Kiva is confused by K'exik's response, why it is that he felt it better to play up his injuries but decides against questioning him further on the matter in front of Denovan. More importantly, why wasn't he hurt worse?

"The camp isn't safe, is it?"

Kiva winks at Denovan, "You and me both."
